That's true for banks but it's not a similar mechanism in any way. You should look into the term 'algorithmic stablecoin', these are basically a scam and don't work, which is why they keep losing their peg. There are other examples long before the media started paying attention and people in the crypto space have warned about this for ages.

Of course, some might call fractional reserve banking a scam as well but what these algorithmic stablecoins are doing isn't the same thing as the credit creation by private banks. It's more like they tried to create a "decentralized" central bank. I put that in quotations because the ones I know aren't actually decentralized either, they just use such buzzwords to trick traders.

Not all stablecoins work that way. There are more reputable ones like DAI or USDC. Actually the first stablecoins were all collateralized, the shananigans started in 2017 during the last bubble and now there are even more of these scammy projects because the market has grown so much. Adoption brings in a lot of newbies with money, and that in turn attracts charlatans of course. You can get a feel for what level of education the general public has when even in a tech forum most people don't understand anything about the economics and mechanisms of all these projects.
My general point is that if you put Ruby up against a nonspecific compiled language it's hard to argue Ruby is better. When you analyze something like Go vs Ruby or Go vs Java then the warts of particular languages come out.
So they could add a power switch to the fob or make it need a button press. Maybe people don't think it's worth it. Could also keep your fob in a radio frequency blocking bag.
Q(uick)Basic was my first programming language, and as others mentioned NIBBLES and GORILLAS.BAS were bundled with it. It also had the ability to compile down to an executable, which was fantastic.

One bundled script I don't see mentioned yet was SORTDEMO.BAS - this is still my ideal for demonstrating different sorts visually:

It is hard because adopting is important but you can't really know what was in a cat's past. One of our cats is very grumpy at the other. This could be caused by something in her past that we aren't aware of. Our other cat also has very poor manners for a cat (he stares at everything) that might have developed by being raised with other animals.

What I wish people told us was that sometimes it isn't enough to do everything right. We planned everything and did as much as we possibly could to socialize them effectively and it ended up only fine after a lot of struggle. I had always figured that people who had cats who hated each other simply didn't follow the best practices when introducing them to each other. But that's clearly not the case.
I rewatch things all the time. If I’m doing side work at night and just want something on the background I’ll put on a movie or show that I’ve seen before.

Beyond that, hard drives are cheap! I have a single 18 TB disk in my main computer that runs Plex. It lets me and my kids watch content from anywhere with an Internet connection.

18 TB hard drives are about $300.
Microeconomics is scientific… in theory!
A Land Value Tax of 100%, as part of Henry George's thinking, was the foundation of one of the oldest parties in Denmark. They had moderate success up until early 80's, and has been in government. My family was much involved in this, and I think it is a fine example of political influence on economic theory. At least here it was caught in between the classical political divide, as is not difficult to imagine from having as its primary position that "resources created by society should belong to society", 100% LVT and 0% tax on everything else. Both sides thought of them as opponents, and gradually georgist professors disappeared from academia
1. There is no mathematical verifiability for a purely algorithmic stable coin. You're dreaming of a mirage. A perpetuum mobile.

2. Your mathematically verified coin offers no protection against the state or crime syndicate, either (see xkcd about 50 years ago).
While I appreciate the concern, I've got a fair bit of free time, and to be clear I'm not actually worried about the financial cost. I'm living well within my means. Tomorrow I'm going to build a chicken coop.

The setup I've got doesn't require very much active maintenance, aside from yelling at my father to tag things better. I'm sure I could just go to sketchy pirate streaming sites (putlocker and the like) if I was concerned about the money. The point of this isn't so much that I'm spending too much on this hobby, but that piracy really is a service problem.

OmniOutliner feels like it has a separate text field for each node. Bike feels like a text editor when you're editing a document with nodes, which to me is more natural.
Yeah, Bike's not a very good name for searches, but it's a good name for what the app intends to be.
The average HN commentor seems like they are extremely out of touch. Most normal people do not care about the alleged privacy violations. They don't care it uses electron. For most people it runs fine. Honestly I know more, and I don't care much either, I think of it as an open public space and act accordingly. Most people do not want to have to sign into 20 different forums or use some archaic chat program. Matrix is nice but it still sucks in comparison. Discord voice and screen sharing is great.

To solve the knowledge transparency issue, why not just get a bot to export your discussions to an open wiki/log/github/etc if you reach a resolution. A bot could probably make it all pretty seamless.

Reading this website sometimes feels like people are extremely upset they cant make everyone else use primordial 90s software, writing everything in c and php, and also forcing everyone to use websites consisting solely of plain text files.
> single acceptable game on the tablet. ( iPad )

I was trying to game on my brother's iPad (M1 chip) and realised that iPad even though powerful are absolutely trash when it comes to the free video gaming market. Filled to the brim with advertisement, slot machines, lootboxes, paid powerups to levelup. Only acceptable games were paid like Minecraft, terraria, Limbo etc. But they cost too much on the iPad. I won't advise strangers on how to raise kids but a steam deck ( if its available in your region ) with parental settings on has a huge list of games which go on sale very often or Nintendo switch would be a great option for kids to play.

I tried so hard to find good free games on my brother's ipad but I realised, thats not what an iPad is good for. Its Excellent for video content consumption, reading, surfing web but not gaming period. I remember a time when there were lots of beautiful video games on my nexus tablet but the switch to freemium model has completely turned the mobile market into a dumpster fire.
It's actually not. There are few other types of SW I enjoy using as much as discord.
It's on me really, I made the huge mistake of taking the interview when my child was sick and my super loud father in law and wife were in the house with my toddler child. It was after the interview was postponed twice and I didn't want to postpone it again. In addition to all the noise they made the cat hated it that I closed the door during the interview and kept meowing to be let in...if I had let her in she would have kept bumping into me but in retrospect that would have been better.
The icing on the cake was I took a room in the house that had a lousy connection so I was disconnected twice during the Leetcode thing (I don't remember if it was Leetcode but it was one of those online coding platforms). It was such a disaster it was the first time ever I asked to stop the interview in the middle - I just gave up and was a complete sweaty mess lol.

So lesson learned - important interview needs to be in an empty house. I don't have a great solution for the cat problem.

Anyway I usually don't take interview failure that hard but this one was painful because my performance was so embarrassing and I cared about the job. Probably my poor performance was in direct proportion to how excited I was about the opportunity - too bad.
UK internet is kinda pants, you can stream 4k on netflix no issues but try streaming from a pirate site or service like popcorntime and you will be kicked back to standard definition and have a lot of buffering to deal with.

In the UK sites like the pirate bay get censored, there are mirrors but they too get censored. Once you find a site you can easily get US content like the US version of the office but the UK version of the office will be harder to find.

You can buy 30TB of spinning disk for ~£600 which is a fair chunk of money but for comparison my 100mbit internet costs £300 a year. To get all your content instantly in one place in hd with no buffering I would say its worth it.
Ahh I agree with this. I think there is a benefit at the beginning in the learning process of the game but then it has seriously diminishing returns. I would put factorio in this category where once you get the model and have learned most of the curve you are then at diminishing returns or negative returns because of the painful way in that devs construct these games to keep you on for longer periods of times. I'm not sure the highest levels of complexity and long dedication to the game really do provide greater learning for people.
If you partake in comments then yes it's social media. If you manage to just use it as a curated list of blog posts/ articles to read, then not really
You just gave away free ad campaign material
I don't understand your reply. This is a thread about the impact video games can have and whether they are positive. How is it not relevant listing a few examples on how specific games could improve certain areas of a person?

The biggest thing that helped me aside from trying to change my mindset, is black coffee and black tea without anything added. Coffee in particular seems to have a hunger suppressant quality and helps with perceived energy loss, but black tea seems to do the same for me. Whenever I am feeling hungry I just drink tea or coffee. There are so few calories involved that I believe it doesn't break a fasting state. Some may consider it breaking the rule, IDK.
Expert systems tend not to scale very well. Once you get beyond $some_threshold rules, the decision algorithms get slow and the rules start conflicting with each other. What's needed is a meta-rule system that works during the knowledge capture phase to keep the rule set consistent.

Lots of work was done on this problem in the late 80s/early 90s but I don't know what the current SOTA is since expert systems fell out of fashion. I'd expect it to be fairly straightforward to maintain a consistent rule base with modern computers that are 1000x bigger and faster than those of the 80s.
Why are you trying to fight over what is the best for your kids?

Both have obvious benefits: Grimm Brothers tales are still culturally relevant for a reason, even if you can probably find useless brain fodder on Disney+; and video games can totally teach some stuff to your kids.

Just let them choose what they want I guess?
Yeah, I don't understand those autodevops tooltips either.
> There is no economical school or theory which covers real estate and land markets.

You forgot about Georgism
> I have shopping bags made of cotton that are 4+ years old, and they are still fine. They are also made from recycled materials, mostly clothing.

I don't know how often you go shopping, but 132 shopping trips is a lot. If you go shopping once a week with the same bags every time, your four-year-old bags would have crossed the threshold less than a year ago.

It's good that your bags are recycled, and I have no idea if the author's metric was assuming recycled materials. However, since the recycling process is not particularly clean, I suspect the numbers still aren't great.

> if you are going grocery shopping, just bring your bags?

The problem is, what happens when I get to a store and I don't have a bag with me? I'm going to need to buy a new one. If this happens on more than 1 out of 132 shopping trips, I'll end up with a greater carbon impact than if I'd used a single-use bag.

Now, maybe you'd argue that I should never forget my bag. Maybe so, but I can tell you that I'm going to forget, and I'd posit that a lot of other people are going to forget too. The question is not what people should do, but what this law will in fact cause them to do.

IMO, a simple 10¢ surcharge per plastic bag would be far more effective.

---

(It is admittedly worse for me because I live in Manhattan and don't have a car. I often go to stores I pass while on a walk, when I don't have a bag with me because I was not explicitly planning to go shopping. Even so, I suspect car owners will also forget their bags from time to time. Also, environmental policies should encourage no- and low-car lifestyles.)
The fact that it doesn't make predictions any more reliably than astrology.
But imagine if you could ride a single lamborgini for free anywhere you want, or:

Pay $10,000 for a KIA that can only goto McDonalds and Burger King, then buy a $15,000 chevy that's the only car that works on the road to to work, then pay $5,000 for a ford that is the only vehicle that will take you to Burger King and the Apple store, but it stops every 5 minutes to show you the same ad repeated 3 times, and the only car that will take you to grandms's house is $30,000 and for some reason it requires 12 cars worth of parking spots. Taco Bell will only be accepting Mazdas starting in August, so you've got to decide what you want to do about that. Also there's no cars you can buy at any price that can go anywhere you want. Nobody sells the lamborgini you can drive anywhere for free.

Anyways, that's why pirating is good.
AIUI they can't do that under the terms of the deal. So unless the deal is well and truly done, they can't stop him from tweeting.

E: Given I can't find sources on this right now (gosh, Google really has gone to the shitter; I can't find the SEC filing for the final deal despite several tortured queries) I'll say, take this with a pinch of salt. If I find a source I'll post it.

E2: I finally found it: the same non-disparagement clause allows for Elon to tweet whatever he wants about the deal. Section 6.8 in https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312522...

> NVIDIA had information, however, that this increase in gaming sales was driven in significant part by cryptomining. Despite this, NVIDIA did not disclose in its Forms 10-Q, as it was required to do, these significant earnings and cash flow fluctuations related to a volatile business for investors to ascertain the likelihood that past performance was indicative of future performance.

What proof do you have that the SEC is speculating about NVIDIA having this information?
I was unfamiliar with this buttonless setup. Seems silly.

The attack is defeated by keeping your fob in something that blocks radio frequencies I guess. Same idea as those metal wallets but this time for an actual threat.
Glad you see it: there is a risk.

Note that to go from 1.45 to 1 is a drop of 31%.
> Do people think that algebraic geometry might be thought of as the root of all geometry?

I certainly don't think of it this way.

There are many geometries and spaces that cannot be described fruitfully within the framework of algebraic geometry, much the same as how there are many functions that are not analytic.

There was mass starvation in Russia under the Czars too.
Minecraft together on the TV? Single screen co-op mode? What platform is that on?
This always gets discussed whenever gaming or screen time comes up.

Kids below a certain age can't do this stuff on their own anymore in a lot of places. Your neighbors will call child protective services on you.

This leads to kids being raised indoors, or only in enrolled events, because parents can't spend all of their time outdoors with the kid.

Then when the kid is old enough to be outdoors on their own without supervision they don't want to be because they have been raised indoors.
Presumably this is only if you disable "PIN to drive", which is on by default.
Can we extend it to our custom IdP? We are building something equivalent to this internally and we don’t use Okta or Google IdP
One thing to look at (which I'm very intrigued by) is https://graphite.rs

As a proof of concept about the possibility of a design tool with the potential to share information in this way it's intriguing.

I'll also add that a major pain point of FL/OSS tools for me is that so many of them HEAVILY depend on local file descriptors which makes remote storage access a PITA.

I think the point being made by other people here still stands though. It's not piracy that costs you money. It's your desire to store/hoard huge amounts of data. Whether or not that's a problem is up to you, but if you deleted things after you watched them the costs would go down to nothing except 4the normal costs of running a computer.
Similarly, if I wanted to pay someone a $1, I would give them a $1. Except I am trying to send some cash to my retired mother in Belarus for a month and a half. She is not under any sanctions, her bank is not sanctioned. Yet wire transfer stuck in some Fed's system (for the second time, first time i sent it, it was just returned 3 weeks later without explanation, and only now I know the real reason.)

Traditional money transferring companies all exited Belarus (PayPal, Western Union, etc.) Now we exploring ability to send some kind of crypto, either bitcoin or stablecoin, in Belarus as a last ditch effort to send over some $1s...
For any form of business endeavour that would be the obvious lowest starting point. For private users a $20/mo. price tag for registering one or a few domains would turn effective TLD pricing on its head. Suddenly owning a single .net domain is no longer $20 per year like it is with all the other thousand registrars, but instead it would be $260 per year.

Cloudflare's kind policy of zero markup on domain registrations on a free plan is remarkably generous. OK, sure, the traffic data has an obvious value to them, but maybe the support environment could improve with, I dunno, a tiny 5% markup.
That looks similar to how I profile my webassembly in wasmtime: https://docs.wasmtime.dev/examples-profiling-perf.html
, so that might be what you're looking for! It works pretty well.

Wasmtime also has this page on debugging with supported debuggers when the webassembly was compiled with debug information: https://docs.wasmtime.dev/examples-debugging.html
I'm not doubting your ability to do that and I'm not saying that negative feelings come inherently with these kind of news. But surely you can see that these reactions can be pretty common for many people especially if they aren't happy with their own situations, and that those people can still feel happy when good things happen to others.

What I'm claiming is that a negative reaction (in terms of comparison) in this way and feeling happy for others are independent of each other.
Possibly because they think investors need to know about it - since they are a publicly-traded company - and want to avoid running afoul of SEC regulations. (Note: I am not a securities lawyer; this is admittedly a guess.)

You know there are more video games styles than FPS right? Strategy games teach patience and discipline, EVE online teaches economics, even the much dismissed 'mindless' fps teach teamwork.

I think it's likely that at least some games do increase intelligence relative to other activities (i.e. mindlessly watching tv) but less so than others like reading.
"Digital media" is a gigantic umbrella and there are so many variations and confounding factors that I doubt anything useful could come from a study like this. As with anything that has the potential for addiction or maladaptive behavior, the difference between healthy and unhealthy consumption comes down to moderation and mindful consumption.
I'm a little confused by this article. Sounds like the author is an SEO consultant, really. When I visit the freeagent.com main page, it appears that the company mainly does small business accounting software. Seems like a disconnect.
This is interesting, I'm the same as you. I can't really explain why, and I don't think that I have higher morals or something like that.

If I played the ultimatum game, and the other person offered me 0$ out of $100, I would let them have their $100.
The government doesn’t give it a baseline value, it just has the power to force people to use the national currency when doing business involving legal affairs and the like (which may help bring up its value). Even then, I know of 3rd world countries that prefer the US dollar for all day to day (peer to peer) transactions even when the local government has their own currency established.
You are thinking of older types of keys. Modern ones, you just have to be near the car with the key and it will unlock if you try a handle. It is ridiculously convenient.
Another long time MindNode user here. I know the nested lists and map views are essentially two visualizations of the same structured data but my brain just finds the maps less thought-constraining. I end up with more creative paths in map view when I use it to plan.

Well it's costing this guy $45 a month apparently.
Knowing the value add of fiscal policy, but economics does understand the difference between spending on bridges vs netflix vs education – spending on netflix only benefits netflix and the person doing the spending, while spending on a bridge benefits everyone who uses the bridge as well as everyone who benefits from people being able to use the bridge (for example businesses on one side of the bridge who benefit from people being able to drive from the other side and visit their business).
I use rancher for this purpose alone (it can connect to okta, azure, local users...). I might consider using this with its plan to integrate more infra like databases and ssh. For ssh though I'm not sure it could easily replace FreeIPA, unless it integrates with it somehow.
