Disclosure: I don't hold any crypto and I don't work in the space, but I have worked in traditional finance hedge funds for many years.

Don't get your crypto, or more generally finance, news from HN. Reading most comments here it's obvious that most have no idea what they are talking about. They are so far removed from anything finance-related and just jumping on a bandwagon.

The value of web3 is difficult to explain because different aspects of it appeal to different people. For example, the vision of having the same financial instruments globally accessible to anyone with all transaction data publicly available is appealing to me. Imagine you had all of Robinhoods data public and could copy it to make a better product. Wouldn't that be cool? That's happening all the time in web3. The same goes for AMMs, which is a different paradigm than traditional HFT MM liquidity provisioning that's less transparent.

Even though there are many flaws, I can see it becoming a viable alternative to the current fully centralized and regulated alternative, which in many cases is just as scammy. The difference is that the scams aren't obvious because they are not public. Due to the developer platform, market cycles in crypto are much faster than in traditional finance. TradFi breaks just as much as crypto does, but the clock time is slower. On the other hand, this "code is law" approach makes no sense to me, but it may appeal to others.

Perhaps more than being bullish about web3, over the last few years I've become more bearish about web2. Looking at how bad Google search has gotten, how spammy reddit comments, youtube comments, and all social media are, how full of bots twitter is, etc. Many of these emergent behaviors are due to the advertising model that underlies the current web. I don't know how web3 can fix that, but currently it seems to be the only, or at least most significant, push to try something different here.

The metaverse angle is another one. Take games for example. People have always spent money on digital items, even 20 years ago when we played the earliest MMOs. Yes, NFT are 99% scams, but the idea that you want to build a global shared economy with provable ownership around goods not tied to the physical world is pretty obvious.

On the very highest level, I think people are are overestimating how important it is that goods are tied to the physical world (like a company owning physical assets reflected in the stock price). As lives are becoming more and more digital, your amount of e.g. Twitter followers is such an asset as well, not so different from owning a building.
Here's an quick graphical reference to the size of the effect:

That is not what that comment says. It clearly means money can be spent when we go to war, or when we need pandemic money, but a measly 25billion in comparison suddenly is “a lot”. If we want fusion, we have to invest.

That's the social aspect of it. I clearly mention that I am asling about the technical aspect of it.
Do not try to fight loneliness. It is a natural part of life, like thunderstorms. You can try to tease it apart, understand how it works, where it comes from, try to predict it, come up with coping mechanisms. But the storms still come regardless. They are here for a reason, with their appropriate place in a natural system. But we don't need to understand the reason to accept it. Acknowledge the feeling, sit with it for a little while. Eventually the weather will change. Learn to enjoy these changes in the weather; each has its ups and downs and is interesting in its own way.
The scenario (from march 2021) simulates a monkeypox outbreak in starting in 'brinia' on 15 May 2022 that was an engineered strain for vaccine resistance.

It's some coincidence there is an actual outbreak in May 2022 in Britain.
my sense is there are defensible reasons you might not want to be assertive or entirely transparent to everyone around you

doesn't necessarily mean you're letting yourself be trampled
Super impressed. Amateurs can and do play their parts in science --- there are numerous discoveries made in astronomy, mathematics, and definitely in computer applied sciences that sprang from the minds of amateurs.
Wonder whatever happened to that. And how they got nitinol to work so well. I've seen nitinol wire, but it's not very efficient. You usually only get a few percent of the heat energy out as mechanical energy.
I have something slightly different thing in mind: a balancing act between your ideas/needs and others.. and a joy in negotiation. With freedom to evolve or quit the game. No obligations. Basically kid's play. I think it's a saner form of interactions. Lighter, deeper, more vibrant (well, in theory).
> The main incentive to use Blockchain for payments is that it is decentralized.

Some might say that the main incentive is not decentralization, but immutability of records and maybe trustless computing.
No, I think my criticism has more to do with the fact that Adams felt like the antebellum south was much to be admired for keeping its negroes off the street at night, much as advocates for the south apparently (here's those pesky historians again) were happy to point out the low rates of rape and sexual assault against white women in the south --- who, after all, would risk imprisonment assaulting a white woman, when there were so many Black slaves that could be raped without consequence. Family stability. Alabama forbade the sale of enslaved children without their mother --- until they reached 5 years of age.

Nehemiah Adams? Really? Gross.
I was curious, but I couldn't find much. Apparently a manufacturer called Yunan made Scandium tent poles ("Yunan Air Hercules"). Maybe they made other Scandium equipment, and maybe at they're still making it.

That's all I could find in a couple of minutes. Apart from tent poles, backpack frames, and cooking equipment, there isn't a lot of metal in backpacking gear. I guess there's more of it in (high) alpine stuff... Climbing gear, crampons, ... But no Scandium that I could find (plenty of aluminum, though).

I disagree. When I have to use a system that isn't Linux which seems to be the corporate rule, the requirements go through the ceiling as it always seems to need to use Docker to prevent to be Linux anyway.

Running multiple OS' is always demanding. They could fix it by just using Linux for the dev environment in the first place since all their tools are always electron or Java based.
One problem it solves is making reactors that can't produce material for nuclear weapons. That's pretty important if we want to deploy reactors outside the few countries that already have them.
History of Russia has given me the impression that the autocratic nature of the empire began to fade, and towards the end the Tsars were relatively sympathetic to the plights of their people. At the same time, they were fairly out of touch.

Alexander II did some very non autocratic things like freeing serfs, ending various political and legal privileges for nobility, promoting local governance, and other similar things.

Nicholas was fairly out of touch and absorbed in familial issues, but similarly I don’t believe he was an autocrat like many we’ve seen since. Technically they ruled Russia, but in practice there was more distribution of leadership and some degree of autonomy in the country.

Someone who knows anything about this could and should correct me if I’m wrong. I haven’t read much about Russian history for 15 or 20 years.
Sounds like a good weekend project, investigate the effects of disabling ebpf.
You gotta be able to trust Da Vinci with his rendition of Mona Lisa, and for that matter, The Light of the World, about Jesus. So there is some stuff we know from different places about Iesus Nazareni Rex Iudaeorum, like that for instance he had hair like his FATHER, (Matthew KJV you cannot put one hair back on your head, paraphrased, which was a reference to Jesus having a full head of hair). Unlike Julius Caesar.

Plus you have iconoclastism. It is specifically forbidden in the Bible to make images of GOD, it was just done anyway after a war over that.

Please tlb, the website is not down. Alain Marty (marty.alain @ free.fr)
Being alone and feeling lonely aren't the same thing. As someone who prefers solitude, I have often felt more alone around others than just being alone by myself. I have also realized that not fitting in can be turned into a strength. It provides a freedom of sorts to live outside the rules established by society. I can live my life how I want and don't have to worry about what others think. Of course, a modicum of civility is always required when dealing with others, but nonetheless, very freeing to come up with my own rules.
Java sets upper memory limits, so that shouldn't be an issue.
The amount of fraud against COVID relief programs (e.g. PUA) was pretty staggering. Extensive abuse of welfare programs may be much nearer than we'd like to think.
This looks like an EliteBook or ProBook (they're the only ones with trackpoints, the chassis looks most similar to the 845 G8/G9, but the logo and display looks more like a ProBook - it's not using the classic not the premium HP logo). Both these models which typically have 2 x SODIMMs, making it one of the better options for thin and lights for upgradeability. HP never has high-res panels for their business laptops, which is one of the reasons I don't even consider them (the other is that they usually don't have S3 suspend support, but for an officially supported Linux version, I'll assume they're at least going to spend a bit more time making sure it can suspend properly).

For the price, it seems fine, although I'd probably go for the similarly priced Starlabs Starbook Mk V if you were ok w/ FHD: https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starbook (it has a 5800U)

Personally, I'm looking most closely atm at the newly announced (but not yet shipping anywhere) Asus Vivobook S 14X OLED (M5402): https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/Vivobook/Vivobook-S-14...

* 45W Ryzen 6900HX (I'll assume RyzenAdj support will come eventually https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/issues/197)

* 8GB DDR5 soldered, 1 SO-DIMM so up to 40GB of memory

* A ridiculously good display: 14.5" 2880x1800 16:10 120Hz OLED w/ 550nit brightness, 100% DCI-P3, HDR500, Pantone validated (and reportedly no PWM flicker on this generation)

* Decent ports - 1xUSB 2.0, 1xUSB 3.2, 2xUSB C, HDMI 2.0, 3.5mm combo audio jack

* 1.6kg
I would just like to point out that a recession is a prime example of why most of our current "scarcity" is artificial. In a recession workers are still present and physical capital is still present. The raw materials are still present and the mechanisms of government are still present. The problems lie with the financial system that facilitates exchange. A recession is not caused by "not enough resources" it's the aftermath of people taking too many risks with fake paper money. It's a non-sequitur to imply that a recession means that the government cant take care of its citizens.
> In 1939, Stalin offered to Britain and France to deploy a million troops against Nazi Germany, but he had been rebuffed

At which point he instead allied with Nazi Germany, aided in the invasion of Poland, personally ordered the mass execution of Polish POW's, and invaded Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

> Despite all this, the USSR asked to join NATO in 1954, but again: it had been rebuffed

By 1954, the USSR had already set up undemocratic communist puppet states in Eastern Europe, been caught engaging in espionage against the United States, attempted to blockade West Berlin in order to pressure the Western Allies into abandoning it to Soviet control, and committed genocide and war crimes on possibly the greatest scale seen in history.
For me the Android emulator in conjunction with a fairly large react native dev server and an ide is enough to fill 16gb. I've had to resort to closing the ide before starting the emulator, and waiting for the first build to complete or things get OOM killed. If I run the test suite whilst the emulator is open then there's a good chance something will get killed as well.

This looks like it could be a compelling choice for my next laptop but will have to pass if it's not possible to go to 32gb

I turned off all these alerts, finding the shock of the "flash flood warning" klaxon much more hazardous to my wellbeing than the chance of being swept away by the raging floodwaters of Philadelphia.
Yea, I get upset at my mom who whines about being lonely. She was married for 25 and then 35 years. So from my POV she got 60yrs of companionship. Mean while I've had 4. So when I can get another 56yr of companionship then I'll start not being upset at her whining.

Obviously I feel sympathy for her, I'm not as rotten as my previous paragraph sounded. But I can't help but think "Now you know what it's been like for me nearly my entire life"
You can also switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet, or eat only less ecologically intensive meat such as chicken (and eat less of it).
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) has a similar element: several people obsessing over a mountain-like shape, they paint it, sculpt it, etc, and want to travel there. Later it turns out to be the place where the UFOs arrive.
didn't it already get ruled unconstitutional?

We require that ICs are able to work with others effectively; we have a very large engineering team working on issues related to health care and collaboration is effectively mandatory.

In the video for the farm they explain that the aim is to produce extremely high end strawberries that taste much better but aren’t as tough and able to be transported. I can imagine places like restaurants paying 4 to 5 times as much to get the absolute best taste.
Well, it depends on what you mean. If you mean how many data points before we care—we already care. That's why I take the time to respond to these things.

If you mean how many data points before we change our mind—it's not a numeric function. I know how we do things and why, and I know that there isn't that kind of double standard.
Is it for real, or are they just advertising "pre-orders" to see if there's a market?

A major company should not be taking "pre-orders". That's for Kickstarters. It's not like making this requires much development. It's basically a standard HP laptop with Linux pre-installed. And you get a special keytop to replace the "Windows" key.
Bodies haven't been found at gobekli tepe, only some cranial bone fragments in the fill. They did attempt to date them, but there wasn't enough remaining collagen.
Right, scandium isn't a selling point any more because the market niche for aluminum in the high end disappeared. If you want a fancy metal bike you can get a titanium frame. If you just want objectively great performance you can get carbon. If you insist on something clearly obsolete, you can get chromoly. Where does that leave aluminum?

> a century of negative population selection, especially visible in its “leadership” today

This makes it sound like there was some evolutionary pressure of something.

I hope everyone understands that ~2 generations is insufficent to have any selective pressure (Putin was born in 1952)

Indeed, WW2 and the Ukranian famine in the 1930s had much more effect on the population than any political system.

And it's unclear what "negative population selection" means anyway. There's no evidence that Russians are in any way inferior to any other population group.
We cannot trust unelected leaders to share their power with others.

Monarchy is really nothing but autocracy. Leaders like Putin and Xi Jinping might as well give themselves the title "King", except they won't because that might make people start asking question like "Why are you the king and not I? . "Why does all power have to be concentrated in one person?"
Thanks for this post! Naive question: why not "just use Great Expectations"? At first blush GE seems like it has a lot of what you need out of the box: checks definable in YAML, extensibility, and connectors to many major data sources.

Was there something you all found lacking there which made "roll your own" the right approach here?
Why do you call it a civil war? In a civil war two parties fight for dominance over the country - England’s and Russian’s civil wars, more than two hundred years apart, are great example. In that war, South did not want to dominate North but secede. It seems calling the conflict “a
Civil war” just follows Northern narrative.
As long as you don't need more memory or storage, at which point you'll pay about a 4X markup for each upgrade and will need to make sure you prepay that when you buy the laptop as everything is soldered.
While respecting ethics (e.g. never asking someone where I was in a position of any power over, even if it was a volunteer student club), I respectfully asked out the people where I did feel that kind of tension (in other words, I always asked out the people who I had a crush on when I was a teen, except when there were professional boundaries).

Unfortunately, I got turned down several times. One initially said yes, then quickly changed her mind within the hour, saying she wanted to avoid getting distracted from academics. So, I never had the opportunity to date in high school or my late teens, though I did have the chance in my early twenties.

As an aside: From a research perspective, I'm unsure if the feelings were mutual in many of these cases. As the Scientific American reports [1]: "Men were much more attracted to their female friends than vice versa. Men were also more likely than women to think that their opposite-sex friends were attracted to them—a clearly misguided belief. In fact, men’s estimates of how attractive they were to their female friends had virtually nothing to do with how these women actually felt, and almost everything to do with how the men themselves felt—basically, males assumed that any romantic attraction they experienced was mutual, and were blind to the actual level of romantic interest felt by their female friends."

I suppose that if my current partner were to tragically and unexpectedly wish to break up, I may be able to enter a new relationship after being very sad for a while. However, learning from my teenage years, I would likely avoid dating friends even if I perceive tension (to avoid changing the friendship, as I have in the past), as I don't think there is a reliable way to figure out if someone is interested according to research.

If there's one thing that developers love, it's "up to 16 GB of RAM". Can't say I'll be ordering one.
It isn't a how-to article or a flowchart of how to age, it is a rumination on her life and the role solitude and isolate have had in shaping her. While turning over what she thinks about her life, she delves into contradictory positions where both seem true to her; this isn't a flaw, all of us have such notions.

I'm not sure how old you are, but as someone approaching retirement age, my thoughts are increasingly turning to such matters. I'm in good health currently but having watched the generation before me age and pass away, I know the spectrum of possibilities that awaits. I have no fear of being dead, but a realistic fear of what old age will be like: living in pain, loss of energy and desire, bad eyesight and hearing, mental diminishment to the point of confusion, repeated bouts of grief from the deaths of family and friends, and the knowledge that the process is a ratchet that can't be turned back or stopped (at least not yet).

Anyway, I hope I have the mental clarity to write something so thoughtful when I'm 80.
I agree largely with your first paragraph! The world is a better place if people don't have total coercive power over others, self determination all the way!(obviously that statement lends to the subject and the great irony of the south). Long ignored.. the last 155 years is injustice made my the winners! Jim Crow laws were invented and wide spread in the north(1938 massachussets) before they went south.

Oif you know anything about the old south, white families penned themselves to the land they were on and married those in litteral proximities. Your son was going to marry the neighbors daughter. Thats why they were so defensive of thier land. It had been held closely for generations. Your using modern stanards of moving around constatly and marrying based on 60's free love standards. This was also not too uncommon of a stance made by west africans in their bative lands. Thats why africa is dense of language families, territorial familial rule. The anglo/Irish(ulster etc..)were very similiar in that regard. A story? Lincoln married a prominent kentucky slave holding white woman and sold her slaves for profit. Robert E lee was the executor of his wifes estate, and followed her fathers bequeathing of his slaves freedoms.

I work in Deep Learning and I have been using Pop OS entirely for more than one year now.

The experience is really good. It is not too polished and not too barebones.

And it is extremely reliable which, in my personal experience, matched by only Linux Mint.

I use an high-end Asus TUF series laptop. And my experience with the laptop + OS is really good.
I think the suggestion was more along the lines of “screening programmes have their place, but their variables should be optimised”
It's all depending on the time lost in commute per days...
> I'm not going to critique this laptop as others have done here. Just over $1K for a laptop with an 8 core Ryzen, 16GB DDR4 and a 1TB SSD isn't outrageous.

I agree. My only beef is the keyboard:

PLUS: No numpad so trackpad is more less centered (I hate using off-centered trackpads and usually don't care much for the numpad)

MINUS: half-sized arrow keys. As a developer I tend to use those for navigation much more than hjkl, and the half-size arrows get mistyped all the time by my muscle memory.

Not a dealbreaker, though. If I use it often enough the muscle memory will adapt.

The rest of the specs are in line with my expectations for that price-point.
I've done a few re-watch of The Man From Earth. Very well made.
