Obligatory reminder that insider trading laws (at least in the US) are about theft of information, not fairness.

>KESTENBAUM: And she says while everybody gets upset at insider trading because it gives someone an unfair advantage, that is not the legal reason why it gets you into trouble. The argument used these days in court for why it's illegal is that insider trading amounts to stealing information from a company. It's like theft.

>GOLDSTEIN: And so for that reason, proving that someone traded on insider information - that is not enough to convict them. If, say, a financial document from some company blows out the window and you happen to find it sitting there on the sidewalk, Sarah says it's not insider trading for you to use that to make money in the stock market because you didn't steal it.

In the case of public corporations, insider information (eg. this quarter's earnings) belongs to the company and the company has a duty to act in the interests of its shareholders. If you work at that company and trade on that information, that's illegal because the information doesn't belong to you. However, in other markets (eg. commodities or forex), no such "owner" of information exists so "insider trading" is effectively legal[1]. Applying this to the example, it's unclear whether it would count as insider trading. I suppose you could argue that people working on the project has a duty to protect tokenholders, and therefore they should be barred from trading ahead of some announcement, but in this case the insiders seem to be insiders on exchanges, which hold no such obligations.

[1] "Insider trading" in energy markets is not really a thing, because energy markets are largely for producers and users of energy to hedge their production and needs, and that production and those needs are the sort of "inside information" that would move markets. So everyone just kind of gets a free pass to trade on inside information. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2013-12-19/helico...
Sometimes for particularly complex changes, I like to comment out lines of logic and see if any tests break. It’s a fast and easy way to identify if the test coverage is adequate. Code coverage report generators are a good way to automate this, but not all projects use them and sometimes just because logic branches are covered by a test doesn’t mean the variations in behavior created by those branches have been covered. Tests that pass after I’ve deleted some code flushes these problems into the open.
> the longevity of mag-swipe in the US

Yes, it was strange. My guess is it was simply related to cost: cost of replacing hundreds of millions of POS terminals and hundreds of millions of plastic cards by snail mail.

Perhaps it was easier in countries with a smaller population and/or fewer merchants because the scale was just smaller.
The only way you could possibly measure this is just to look at the distribution of coins among wallets. This is obviously going to count crypto exchanges as single entities, which is absurd.

It'd be like counting JPMorgan as a single person when computing wealth inequality in the US. Analyses like these are a total joke.

Scapple is best for organizing bits of information into charts. It is not great at mindmaps or outlining.

If you want an outline organizer then use something like iThoughts or XMind.
Because it works super great at throttling malicious traffic and solves a hard problem real site admins have.
You're not asserting that traffic engineers know more about traffic engineering than me. You're asserting that I know so little about traffic engineering that I couldn't put a crossing in a sensible place (because there's some mysterious uber-knowledge required to do it that only professional traffic engineers possess).
Yes, was a bout to say same thing.

I'm reminded of Feynman's bit about the Challenger O-rings. They were not designed to be eroded, so the fact that they survived the erosion was indicative of a design flaw, rather than a safety margin.

Similarly, while the design may have redundancies built in, the thrusters are not designed to fail. Two of them failing on the *second launch* is not "redundancy".

Each launch had 12 thrusters (if I understand correctly). Out of 24 thrusters launched into orbit, 2 have failed, or 8.3%.

If I was heading to the ISS, I'd be taking a Dragon or Soyuz for sure.

> Considering that batteries still only last about a day and Apple led this shift to non-user-swappable batteries they still deserve some blame for landfill culture.

Sure, but it seems like this makes phones thinner and lighter and consumers want that. It "sucks" that Apple gave them that option and they went for it, but I don't consider this to be inherently malicious.

> Even if at cost the extreme sophistication and complexity of such tools reinforces the point that these devices aren't really built for repair. They're built for eye appeal first and foremost.

…these are the tools that Apple uses to repair your phone?

I'll take your comment at face value (ignoring the dis on a site that is engaging enough for you to participate ;-)

HN is a treasure trove of interesting ideas and adventures. Of course it's not perfect but nothing is.

In the peanut gallery of this particular article I've learned about several games worth exploring to play with my kids.
Same, firefox works as it should for me.

As someone on the left, I think the big problem is the difference between some online leftists and "real-world" leftists, who fight for the things you mentioned, but don't spend time shitposting on twitter.
Starting with money is a bane. (I know, you’ll find the worst-of-the-worst example of poverty just to be right, like “What if you are in the middle of nothing and have unrelated skills”, but hear me). People who start with money have way-too-high costs and are incapable of optimizing the business. They run inefficient companies.

So, if you start with money, you end up like WeWork. You may renew your money but nobody likes you.
So it's like "anxiety" - a catch-all term when doctors have no clue.
Start thinking about religion as an organic solution to the human need for community. Whatever made up stories they teach don’t matter outside of how it builds and protects the community. This will result in some individuals not being permitted (unfairly at times - a bad apple can spoil the bunch). There is no perfect answer to the human condition.

Or you can try to make your own religion (or political ideology if you want to use the modern term). There’s a few trying to form in the west right now, but they don’t have much of an emphasis on creating healthy communities as they do dominating the culture. I don’t think they’re helpful if you’re lonely.

A tremendously helpful article. Possibly one of the best HN shares I've seen related to software. Most code reviews I've seen professionally over the past decade are almost entirely stylistic one-way brittle dialogs over text of small to large pull/change-requests. When in reality these could, should, recommended to be (as the article shares) side-by-side discussions for dialog to improve the product being contributed to. It's really an effective way to ensure that someone else can pick up the work and go if the other gets hit by a bus, and in my own experience, when I lead with an explanatory walk-through exposes bugs (to myself) along the way--that even the reviewer often doesn't note. Thanks for sharing, software development practice is several decades behind... other practices, and content like this help to improve it.
Maybe it's your IP. I tried it in Firefox and Edge. No problem
Can confirm that I got that exact challenge only on Firefox at least a week ago, although only on one site. Still getting it now.
SPAs themselves have come increasingly towards this with SSR. The next step of web is merging both trends into a framwork that can combine the positives of both, which the libraries in OP seem to be. I'd like to see some comparisons.

Edit: After some research I think SvelteKit is going to be the best new thing.
I use Firefox Focus on my phone (opens links from apps in a private session - generally a great idea!) and always get this 5 second delay (which is often actually 10 or more seconds). I never considered that it's a Firefox-only thing!
I would add to your fictional regime that it would have already used chemical and nuclear agents to poison people outside their country.
Hard to overstate what a blessing Wim Taymans has been for dealing with AV in linux. Both gstreamer and pipewire have really moved the bar. Qualitative engineered and a joy to work with.
Comparing this to other assets misses the point. Dollars have (imperfect) democratic governance. Whereas the entire ideology of crypto is to throw away what little feedback loop we do have.
They missed a big ship not seeing Valves interest in Steam OS and bending over backwards for them. Canonical has some completely out of touch licensing for their products.
I wonder if those plugins are causing Firefox's marketshare to appear worse than it actually is.
this doesn't show we've progressed at all, it just shows we're still distracted by colors and lights
But that's the issue. It's not my problem. My problem is maximizing the user experience for most of my users, and that involves squashing usability bugs common to all browsers and adding features that have been requested, not keeping up with the Gecko quirks-du-jour.

(Speaking of "quirks-du-jour", the problem eventually "solved itself." The next major iteration of Firefox fixed a rendering regression and resolved the bug. We "solved" the problem spending zero eng-hours on it; you can't beat that for efficiency. But that's the challenge Mozilla faces as an also-ran: burden's on them to keep up with the competition and make their rendering agent on-par with other agents for both performance and strangeness, because they lack the market clout to make developers bend to their flaws and oddities. No matter who the front runner is, there are always flaws and oddities.)
So great to hear Savvy mentioned! What an amazing piece of software.
What is the practical difference between your "share being dilluted" (dollar inflation) and "your share depreciating in value" (bitcoin price crashing)?
No it doesn't. Requiring Apple to sell or allow 3rd party replacement parts as well as providing repair documentation does not in any way prevent them from making the phone they currently are.

You're confusing (perhaps intentionally) right to repair with the EU's proposal to mandate easily swappable batteries. They are not the same thing.

It's not that, archive.org has a DMCA exemption for being a library. It makes it legal for them to host the data, but that doesn't mean it's legal for you to download it. Weird I know... I mean why else would they store it if it's illegal to access? I've never gotten a straight answer to that.
Both Google Maps and Gmail were among the very first SPA's.
In my freshman year in 1993, I was the only person on my floor to haul a PC into the dorms. Across 4 buildings each with a dozen floors, there was maybe ten people who had computers in their room. The only reason I had one was because dad was an IBMer and he managed to obtain an XT 286 for me.

> How do you remove somebody who plays politics and is able to win consensus but you know its going to impact your business? How do you arbitrate disagreements over distribution or spending of resources or the manner in which they conduct operation?

Who is this "you" in "your business"? The business is as much "theirs" as it is "yours". If they can convince enough people of a course of action, even if somr are not convinced, why do you assume that the course of action will be bad?

The biggest weakness of traditional companies is exactly that a sibgle hair-brained boss can wreak havoc on the whole organization below them. Democracy solves this problem, it is much more resistant to a bad actor than autocracy is.
And this is a stupid metric too. I have utxos that old that will be unspent for another 5y+

I don’t care about Bcash and other worthless forks and I could tell it was an attack to unmask old utxos.
Same. I've making and remaking a bookmarking/notetaking site for my personal use over the years, and this is the solution I landed on. They look like and can be organized like folders, but you can quickly add items to multiple folders. I think it's working well for me so far.
I never put two and two together but I think this tracks with my experience. I don't get deep sleep like I used to. For the last few years, I dream and wake up multiple times every night. I used to sleep through the night and only dream here and there. I also got tinnitus a few years ago. I couldn't swear that these happened at the same time but it makes sense.

Blackjack and Euchre are two of my favourites.
In first grade, we were taught how to count to 10 using a modified version of blackjack that added up to 10, instead of up to 21. Turns out that it is still fun enough for 6 year olds if you remove the gambling aspect.
There is much more involved in building a product than coding. Similarly, there is much more involved in travelling than sitting in a vehicle.
God I love that superbly crisp Tahoma font.
i have a similar story about a 486 from the 90s. i have a lot of skills now and can do things many other people cannot, include make a lot of money if i want. but look around you, and ask, how does your personal wealth in this industry, which people are now forced to participate in to access basic life needs like food and transportation and social services, represent "progress" for anyone but you? are our operating systems secure? do they respect our privacy? or are we being spied on and stolen from by an increasingly ubiquitous industry with no conscience or self awareness?
I think there is a mismatch between the types of web content that the general public most interacts with and the types of web content which tend to have lots of development resources devoted to them. The ratio of SWEs to users is much, much higher for niche (typically B2B or internal business line) applications, which often require a fair amount of interactivity and custom logic. Whereas the vast majority of random web content used by the general public probably can just be hosted as static sites or server-side rendered apps with better performance and lower cost. HN then just reflects the underlying demographics of the industry and has a disproportionate number of people who work on niche applications where SPAs are still the more appropriate tool.

Which makes sense given the economics. Consumer facing content is generally free to users and funded by ads so the dev costs need to be amortized across more content, which tends toward a lower touch, more scalable approach like static pages where there isn’t much if any custom logic on any given page of content. Businesses on the other hand are willing to fork over cash directly to solve their problems so you get higher touch, more custom solutions where SPAs are relatively more useful.

Also software engineering by its very nature automates routine tasks, reducing their costs and manual complexity dramatically over time to the point that a SWE isn’t needed to carry them out. So none of us work on static sites because at this point it doesn’t take a highly skilled engineer to set up, host, and scale one. One day SPAs and cloud native and k8s and all the latest fads may reach the same level of simplicity, and we will all be working on tuning hyper parameters on ML models or whatever else becomes the de facto cutting edge for the field.
I don't buy it. I'm not intimately familiar with how the monero project is run, but shouldn't you able to pick this up by looking at the PRs? Or are the repository owners just keeping their PRs under wraps and merging them immediately after they're created? Even then, the bigger question is how these changes get deployed. If you're going to change the hashing algorithm, you'll probably have to get most clients on the network to update in advance, otherwise all the people running outdated clients would be on a forked chain. Therefore it seems unlikely that monero insiders would have much of an advantage compared to an observant outsider.
If you're founding a coop, you're probably more interested in organizational theory than doing the work. There are cost savings when it comes to group buying or trade; so works well for farmers. But to do this for software is not about building better software IMO.

You can kinda see a hint of this in the spelling of Toronto as Tkaronto. I don't think this benefits the list. It's a kind of meta work, a convenient distraction from doing something of value.

If you're a builder you'll preoccupy yourself with the thing you're building. If you're driving by an ideology, you'll spend most of your time there, and legal frameworks will be of secondary concern, a means to an end.
There are cooperative models that allow for external investments.
Completely agree. Delicious was like the perfect bookmark manager. Then it went to complete shit and ever since then I’ve barely bookmarked anything.

Honestly though I don’t think bookmarks serve much of a purpose anymore. Like I’ll just search my history if I need something specific. Or maybe I‘ve just forgotten how useful they are.
around 2001 or 2002 JCPenney got rid of their 80s era mainframes, and i got an IBM mainframe, and i can't remember if it was as/400 or rs6000, but it was two racks, with a hard drive the size of a small clothes dryer (and louder), and a 9" floppy. The IBM stuff didn't sell on ebay that well, but the cisco stuff (the second rack?) sold alright. Mostly went to repairing my junker car back then.

They don't always say "go get chrome" but one example that still happens to me is logging in to Outlook email at work, if I use Firefox I get a hobbled "basic HTML" interface, if I masquerade as Chrome on Windows I get the full UI and it all works perfectly.

Google drive is another one, where some things stop working depending on the user agent I'm presenting.

Right, so you accepted that your website was broken. That can be a valid business decision, but that doesn't not make it broken.

> Do you find the maintenance of friendships and of intimate relationships difficult in the same way?

I don't find it difficult to maintain an intimate relationship, until the writ arrives! I can compromise, I can listen (up to a point - I am a man, after all), and I'm pretty tolerant.

In both friendships and intimate relationships, I expect two-way trust. The difference is that in an intimate relationship, I'm relying on that trust; I don't place the same reliance on a good friend. I think it would be unkind (and unfriendly) to lean that heavily on a friend.

I lost my closest and oldest friend when he stole something from me (it actually was my partner's, which made it much worse, because she had relied on my trust in him). But in general, I wouldn't be that put-out if a good friend broke trust; people have lives to live, they make commitments to new people, and they make new friends that might take a dislike to you. These things happen, but I don't expect them to happen in a committed relationship.

But they do happen; so clearly my expectations are still out of whack with reality.
There is a good amount of pathologizing done here in good faith. Mostly reflecting their own experiences onto this person.

If I was this person I would consider getting a therapist, even if it takes time to find one that jives well with you. I found a great one and it has opened doors I did not know existed.

Usually when you tell someone to get a therapist, they won’t. Especially if they are young. So I will provide alternatives with less start-up.

The facts aren't really on your side of the argument. The glued-together Apple phones are the ones least likely to be in the trash. They are still shipping the latest software on phones from 2015. By contrast, removable-battery phones are all garbage practically as soon as you open the box. The Samsung XCover is only 2 years old, might not even get Android 12, and definitely will never get anything after Android 12.

The reactor would need to be replaced frequently as the chamber walls and molten-lithium pipes weaken from neutron bombardment, every two years, maybe as long as five. By the time they could build one, there might be some way to make it last ten?

It needs even bigger containment than a regular nuke because reactive molten lithium bursts into flame on contact with air. The oxidized product is an exploding cloud of vaporized radioactive drain cleaner. A thousand tons of lithium make a lot of drain cleaner.

And again, by that time all our power will be cheaply supplied by renewables with no disastrous failure modes, and maintained just by taking bits down and putting up new bits, in shirtsleeves when weather favors it.
