That's like you asking me what's the practical difference between making $1M or winning the lottery and getting $1M.

But to answer your question: the same difference that there is between chance and intention, for example, the same difference that there is between someone being murdered and that person dying accidentally. This difference is very important for most people and can have direct consequences in you life.

In addition, the dollar is guaranteed to be diluted, meanwhile for Bitcoin, there's no such certainty.
All. Even nominally commercial ones get a whopping disaster liability subsidy, and decommissioning cost is omitted from the price, but charged to ratepayers on top of whatever actual power they are also paying for.

It will cost at least a $billion to take apart and dispose of Indian Point, shut down recently because it was leaking radioactive stuff into the Hudson.
I just close the tab if Cloudflare pops up and I don’t visit the site again. I don’t trust or like Cloudflare and I suspect they themselves initiate DDOS’s even though I have no actual proof.
Why not both and add Go (territorial alignment), Monopoly (capitalism), Risk (negotiation), and every other board game.

Throw in traditional logic puzzles which are entirely about incomplete information.

> You have to trust a whole lot of companies to get onto and use the Internet.

Obviously, I wouldn't dream of asserting otherwise. My point is that for the vast majority of the population, a paragraph of technogibberish about cryptography doesn't fundamentally change anything, you're still reliant on trust. To most people, that paragraph is worth about as much as a basic promise. The worth of that statement is derived from whatever trust is had in the corporation and the ability of academics and regulators to stay on the ball and keep corporations in check.

If somebody who isn't a cryptographer has decided not to trust Cloudflare and not to trust the rest of society to keep a company like Cloudflare in check, then that whole explanation isn't worth much. It's boils down to saying "Just trust me" in response to somebody who just said "I don't trust you."
They must be factoring in labor costs of working in the garden at home. To me (small scale) gardening is a mostly relaxing activity that I can do early or in spare moments that basically has a zero opportunity costs and negligible supply costs of less that $100 a year.
Markdown. I recently make the switch to Hugo and hugo server makes it easy to iterate on writing while also seeing the preview. I think it also depends on complex your blog is. For me, a flat file with words and maybe some images and math symbols are enough.
> "a computer" was required at college

In 1990? No way. I was taking college courses (for HS credit) in 1990, and the first I heard of a requirement to bring your own computer was years after that.

Another thing that skews the numbers is that my household during the 80s had two Color Computers, a C64, and an Amiga 500, but no one else in my social circle had anything more general than a Nintendo or Atari console.
Multi-stakeholder co-operatives are co-ops with more than one "owner" class. For example, a multi-stakeholder food co-op could be owned by both consumers of the store, and the workers of the store. The co-op's by-laws determines how the groups differ and how the equity share (and patronage dividends) work out.

It depends on what you think the 'purpose of universities' is. To me, it's either preparing someone for further research in a field or to understand the human nature, so something more along the lines with what the history of university was. Universities should not be for vocational training -- that should either be trade school or on the job learning. But a lot of companies have realized they can outsource some stuff they used to teach on the job to universities, and students thus expect universities to cater towards that. It's a problem, imo.
Right, so, what everyone "learned" is that you can leverage yourself to the gills, enjoy the fruits of debt-fueled asset appreciation on the way up, and when it all goes pear shaped the government will be able to step in and clean up the mess and get the whole cycle started again.

The fiscal bailouts became necessary because the Fed had fired all of its monetary policy bullets and it had failed to arrest the collapse in confidence which was freezing credit markets.

Like I said, the jury is still out. Maybe the next time will go just like 2008. Maybe there really will never be any price to pay for all this moral hazard that's being stuffed into the system.
Does anyone know if there's a term for structuring a corporation where one person can own no more than a certain percentage of the company?

I believe that the central cause of wealth inequality isn't so much about taxation or regulatory capture etc, as it is about individuals going to great lengths to maintain control of their companies. So someone can be worth a billion dollars with a 51% share but not be able to convert any of those stocks to cash, for fear of losing their power.

That's why they resist even a modest property tax on their stock, while the rest of us must pay property tax on our homes. This is self-evidently unjust and one of the major loopholes which allows the accumulation of extreme wealth while countless millions of people spend the entirety of their lives working to make rent under a negative net worth.

A possible solution to that might be to limit individual ownership to something equitable, say less than 1/3, 1/5 or 1/7 (my preference) of the total.

So a worker-owned cooperative could be thought of as ownership not exceeding 1/N employees.

That would give us a spectrum of possible structures rather than having to choose between the extremes of public and private ownership. Apologies if this concept already exists or is commonplace.
Agreed. The network would grind to a hault if the mining algorithm was changed without notifying everyone first. I have to imagine a new version of the node software is released (fork) that changes the hashing algorithm starting at X block. Anything else would be.. stupid.

One time, when I interned at a trading firm, I visited the Chicago office, and I was pleasantly surprised that they had Euchre games every Friday. The rules are really easy to learn and there isn't as much strategic depth as bridge, but it's a great social bidding-and-trick-taking game. Since everyone knows how to play, it's a lot of fun.
Not necessarily founders but BigLaw has partners at various levels and then associates plus various support staff. And, yes, BigLaw (like investment banking) has a reputation for really working associates hard in addition to having something of an up or out structure. Which probably works OK for law because a lot of the associates probably went to law school because they weren't sure what else to do with their liberal arts degree--and don't necessarily want to stay in law long-term anyway.
You can sell the parts and manual, sure. But making it easy for a layman with non specialized tools? That is a tall order against cost, weight and waterproofing.
You could in theory do that although the experience would be slightly odd. Either open the video in a new page and put in the bottom right, force focus it after the main window been active. Or wrap the entire websites in two iframes, one for main content and one for video player. Main content can change without interfering with the video player.

Not saying you should do either of these, as the UX would be worse, but you could if you really want to :)

Not that much of a joke if you consider that crypto is supposed to be decentralized and permissionless in opposition to fiat that the banks hold.
As many others have commented, I'm asserting that people, in general, who follow the example of painting these bandit crosswalks don't appreciate the nuances of where it is dangerous to place them. If I have erred in crediting you with too little knowledge in this domain, you have my apology.

But before you encourage others to pursue this activity, you probably want to make clear, to them, notwithstanding any appearance of a lack of humility, the distinction between your knowledge and possible shortfalls in theirs.

It's like they WANT me to take the simple, easy, forbidden paths.
Yes and no. Big wins include the fact that smoking isn't everywhere the way it used to be, gay marriage and rights, more freedom for women, and generally lower costs for essential - albeit with some serious downsides for those involved in making and distributing them.

Losses include much less economic headroom for everyone who isn't upper middle class or higher, with a fair percentage of the population falling out at the low end, much more homelessness, and a cutthroat nickel and dime everything neoliberal culture in business. So while computers and cars are cheaper, health care and college expenses are much higher.

There was still some lingering benign paternalism in business in the 80s and especially the 70s, but that's much rarer now.

And serious stressors like climate catastrophe are much more imminent.
Bullshit.

This is a conscious business decision to not accomodate.

Wanna know how I know? (Besides experience in tech)

Sewing machines.

Millions of ladies with sewing machines out there, and harried husbands/partners/neighborhood mechanics/machinists out there that fix the bloody things. Yet, as a fixer thereof, you'll find the older machines are jealously guarded and highly sought after for reliability, stability through heavy loads, and servicibility.

And yet... All you have is plastic pieces of crap that warp and miss stitches under load, increasing usage of integrated circuit boards and plastic gearing.

A corporation will not optimize for the utility to end user and QoSL (Quality of Service Life). They will optimize for future sales and cheaper production. Literally converging on the worst product people will still pay for.

Stop making platitudes that "Oh the economy would accommodate you if only there were more of you!"

It is grade A, concentrated, unadulterated, Bull. Fucking. Shit. The business world will wring every last cent they can out of the buyer, while spending the absolute minimum required to "solve" the problem they set out to fix, and arguably, don't.

I am Quality Inspector number effing 7. I get into knock down, drag out brawls with management on the crap they expect me to put my seal of approval on for the sake of being there to be sneered at by the by the end user.

Enough is e-frigging-nough.

Since you brought up automotive. Same damn thing. Can you get cars with open-source, well documented software running on the ECM and BCM? No. Is CANBUS free and open? Nope. Are engine compartments built for anything else than the ability to be assembled by automaton? Nope.

Farm tractors and Ag equipment. Same bloody thing. This is all according to plan, because it's the default, and capital decides what the most profitable default is going to be.
I think the author makes some good points, and certainly I find this article more more compelling than the poker one. Trick-taking card games seem like a great choice for kids. However, when I looked into bridge specifically, the following things turned me off.

1) It requires a dedicated, long-term partner. If your partner isn't available, you can't play. "Pick up" bridge with strangers simply isn't feasible in the way that randomly matching teams on, e.g., an online FPS or tower defense games is.

2) The game is fundamentally broken by certain bidding strategies, which must be banned.

3) There's no way to prevent opponents from cheating by using out-of-game signals (e.g. timing of bids). This can even be done unintentionally. So fair play is always an open question.

Perhaps someone who knows more can comment about whether I'm wrong?
Ask HN: How often is test equipment the source of your errors?
I'm a technician at a large aerospace company. I work on systems with BOM costs in the 6 figures that sell for 7 figures. Despite this, our test equipment is horribly maintained. During testing, if we encounter a non-conformance, the immediate reaction from me or my co-workers is to suspect that it's a test software or hardware issue.

Be it the cables used, the test software, the test hardware itself, or the unreleased customer software that's loaded on the device to be tested, we have to rule out the equipment before we suspect that it's something wrong with the product. I'm just wondering if it is common in large companies to neglect preventative maintenance. Thank you.
A lot of these comments seem to miss the point: author isn't suggesting you teach your kids any game in particular, it's just a reply to an article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31435034.
This is why I prefer AsciiDoc. It's consistent because there's only one implementation, it's less ambiguous, and more predictable. Although it takes a bit longer to remember all the syntax, it's not difficult, especially if you're only going to use the same subset of features that markdown supports since it supports most of the markdown syntax as well. I also much prefer the flexibility with tables compared to markdown. I just wish there were more parsers/converters other than the main ruby one and the transpiled JS one, although I know there's work being done on other language implementations.

As an example for math/equations, inline math is stem:[sqrt(4)], which defaults to AciiMath, but can be changed with a page attribute. To specify inline, LaTeX is latexmath:[\sqrt(2)] and AciiMath is asciimath:[sqrt(2)].

For blocks (which you can replace stem with either latexmath or asciimath to specify),

[stem]
++++
sqrt(2)
++++
Duplicate bridge removes the luck: you play the hand you are given at a table, but you are scored against other pairs who have the same cards as you, not against the people you played with. It essentially removes the luck from the game. Rubber bridge and grandma's version of the game have a ton of luck, but duplicate has almost none.

Stratego is also a great game, and I forgot about it!

EDIT: If you want to play a 4-player "duplicate" bridge game, that is also possible by comparing to the par result, which is the best scoring contract that can be played for the hand.
My personal experience is that I do fallback some sites to testing in Chrome quite often, maybe once a week. But the number of times where using Chrome actually fixed the issue is maybe once a year? Really, it's just that I stumble on quite a number of broken websites.

Let me know once people in the US stop referring to meat-filled pastry as "koláče". I was horrified to find out about that. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one either.
I hate how we have collectively forgotten that there were waterproof phones long before this nonsense from Apple(and others, to be fair). Bah, we even had waterproof phones with removable battery doors. But of course, now somehow humanity forgot how to make those and the only way is gluing everything together.
Russian companies own (parts of) refineries abroad. I don't know whether there are many of them (and I suspect GP doesn't know either).

I know details about two such refineries, and in those two cases I suspect they're currently making a lot of money that will eventually be used to rebuild Ukraine.
Determining the intersection point of two lists in O(1) space
The reality is people want freedom to use Firefox or Chrome in iOs, they don't want a monopoly , imagine if Microsoft would not have allowed you to install a third pary browser unless it uses their engine and it accepts their rules, then we would all still use IE6 but with different themes and superficial features.

Safari needs to implement the standards and offer decent performance, adding on top of that very good integration with the OS and it should win on Apple OSes.

Also Apple users please demand Apple to sacrifice a bit of their profit and offer web developers some way to test their websites/code on Safari(including Betas for free) , either by providing test virtual machines images or some Web Based service. Safari Beta not only requiers you have Apple hardware and OS it requires you update to latest version (you maybe don't want to be forced to latest version).

I have fond memories growing up playing Dungeons and Dragons Advanced on the Intellivision.

The controllers were shit, the button pad had these hard to press plastic-y bubble buttons with a touch-tone phone style layout. Laughably bad ergonomics and design, but back then nobody was laughing or even complaining about such matters.
Technical Advisory – BLE Proximity Authentication Vulnerable to Relay Attacks
My understanding: there are a lot of varieties of coops, consumer coops (REI, the Green Bay Packers, in some respects) are primarily owned by their customers, purchasing coops like ACE Hardware are owned by a group of businesses to increase buying power, and most relevant to this thread, worker coops are where workers own the enterprise. Multi-stakeholder cooperatives blend multiple forms of ownership to try to align the incentives of the enterprise with everyone who has a stake in its success. To me, it sounds really hard to get right, but also transformative if you can, so I’m very interested to learn more!
But the internet was never promoted as having value due to a large number of tier 1 networks.

Bitcoin was created specifically as a way to counteract centralize control of money. The fact that many people store their crypto in central exchanges implies that they don't actually care about the advantage of decentralized money.

Well, "somewhat thin" is subjective so that is no real barrier. Water resistant? I would think you make the phone in two halves, and it splits in the middle. This way both halves can be sturdy enough that a few screws and a silicone seal are enough to keep the water out. Maybe two halves is the wrong idea, but you can still make a stiff back shell that engages in a row of clips along the side that are tapered so as it catches it presses against a silicone seal. Then just a few screws to hold it in place.

Anyway, Apple has solved a million engineering problems. I bet if they cared as much about user serviceable parts as they do about putting LIDAR in their face scanner, we'd see all kinds of clever solutions. Seriously the idea that Apple, one of the most capable engineering and manufacturing companies to ever have existed, could not elegantly solve this problem is a bit far fetched to me. I think the only reason people cannot conceive of it is that we haven't seen it.
How does this work with a cache when deployed to Vercel? Does it imply multiple servers?
I’ll check it out!
You need an SIO2SD or SIO2USB device. It plugs into the SIO port on the Atari and reads/writes to an SD card. You can then save disk images from the disk drive to the SD card. Transfer the SD card to a modern computer and upload the image files to the internet archive.

There’s lot of info on the web about this, even YouTube videos if you prefer that. But here’s one random discussion:

Google terms like “Atari copy disk image to SIO2SD” and similar.

I used ckermit on Coherent years ago to log into work. Then work would dial back and allow me to connect to avoid phone charges. good times :)

I even purchased the book to support the project, it had lots of cool info in it.

Eventually I compiled it for Linux when mark Williams closed. I have not had a need for it these days, will need to see if I can do anything I can use it for.
I am the author, and I have played bridge for a very long time:

1. Pick-up bridge is certainly possible, and you can walk into a club and find a partner. You have to be playing a "standard" bidding system with them, though. If you do this, expect to play a lot of Standard or 2/1 in America, ACOL in Britain, etc.

2. This is kind of true, except the strategies that are banned are mostly banned because people don't want to play against them. The ACBL is run by grandmas who want you to play bridge like a grandma, so they ban a lot of things. The world bridge federation is a lot more reasonable. The only truly game-breaking bidding systems were forcing-pass systems, and those are banned in order to preserve the diversity of the game (if not, everyone at a competitive level would have to use a forcing pass system).

3. I think this is correct, although cheaters do end up getting caught when their play deviates too much from "correct." Fantoni/Nunes ended up getting caught this way.
Do you have a video of this being executed as described? I lack burrito shells and filling, and am having a hard time following your description.

I can't speak for GitHub, but GitLab allows you to easily compare previous versions (states) of a branch. Whether you push additional commits or squash them locally and force push to update the remote branch, the differences between versions are easy to compare.

Metal is an unnecessary complication.
I always felt XP looked like a toy, compared to say Windows 2000 or NT 4.
I think mobile OS designed also peaked with Windows Phone 7. Android and iOS haven't touched the intuitiveness and usability it had. Not to mention the Nokia Lumia hardware was light-years better in build quality then even most Android phones today.

They were too late too market and lost developer mindshare with the Windows Mobile to Phone transition.
