Or if there is a progress bar [1], which was discussed on HN back then [2]. The top comment in the HN thread is so utterly ridiculous it hurts.

I'm curious about what you mean. There's no way to embed type information into a URL - every GET parameter is a string. Are you suggesting that visiting a link like /123 would go to the 'string: "123"' route, while clicking a <Link to={123}> would route you to 'number: "123"'? That would make deep linking in an app really hard to manage. I'm struggling to understand why you'd want to overload routes like that.
On average production quality seems to correlate inversely with accuracy and actual knowledge on Youtube. It kinda makes sense, most Youtube channels seem to be one-man-shows, if the production quality is good, the dude doing it is basically an A/V person at that point and you're looking at P(A/V person AND knowledgeable in X) vs. P(knowledgeable in X).
Issuers of tether that is unbacked are defacto short. They thus embody your theory by design.

Is there any derivatives market in tether to allow an outsider to open/create a futures contract as a seller (thus, short) that gives them the obligation to deliver tether upon expiry?

I suspect that such matters don't work as you believe they do.

Shorting generally is done by professionals in regulated assets. Tether doesn't seem to meet that requirement. No professional will want to take on short risk in any size in an unregulated asset. Shorting, in theory, has unlimited downside risk (to negative infinity). This would actually be a factor in an unregulated market controlled by scammers, depending (in large part) on the net positions of underlying and derivatives by opposing parties.
Ask HN: Why does Node.js start so slow?
time php -r 'echo 123;'

outputs:

123
real 0m0.031s
user 0m0.023s
sys 0m0.008s

time python3 -c 'print (123)'

outputs:

123

real 0m0.022s
user 0m0.019s
sys 0m0.004s

time node -e 'console.log(123);'

outputs:

123

real 0m0.578s
user 0m0.551s
sys 0m0.028s

Why is the node version more than 10 times slower than the PHP and Python versions?
There’s also the reality that people who don’t want to go through the shame and trouble of finding a person who could give them a solid hookup and so never try heroin in the first place.

Drugs are partly an issue of convenience. An 18-21 year old who isn’t thinking much about the future and figures “why not” is more likely to try something if it’s free and “safe” due to being distributed by someone reputable than they are to try a grimy baggy that could have anything inside.

When people know they can get a good, pure LSD hookup, they’re more likely to try it. People are more concerned about trying random research chemicals because the effects are unknown—that keeps quite a few people from ever trying LSD or psychedelics as a whole. If people could drop by a volunteer-operated free distribution center, I’m pretty sure we’d have loads more people trying LSD. (Not that I’m saying LSD is deadly like heroin, but the fear of danger is keeping people away from it)
Is there an easy way to do this? Are you telling me that I could have shorted UST?
By that logic open source software should be mostly crap...

High pay bringing high competence and passion seems a rather poor assumption.
Because there is no safe platform to short it... Also what is the premium on such action? Probably should be extremely cheap as it is unlikely to go much over 1$...
Okay, I think I have some weird blind spot here. I have really hard time understanding the reasoning behind philanthropy being a societal good that should be subsidized by taxpayers.

Let's take econ 101 and revealed preferences. It is obvious that if you give 100 bucks to a charity you get utility worth more than that 100 bucks. Otherwise you would not do that. And there is zero difference on the mechanics there if you compare to buying a movie ticket. Watching the movie gives you more utility than what the ticket costs. So, from the point of view of the donor we can think charity nothing more, nothing less than entertainment, and the question is, why one type of entertainment is tax deductible while another is not?

If we compare these transactions not only from the donor's point of view, we notice a clear distinction in power balance between those. The movie ticket transaction is relatively power neutral. Both sides have roughly equal say in the contract, both are taking part of a balanced business transaction. Charity then, is far from being power neutral, the donor has all the power in their hands. Not exactly a reason for charity being the tax-subsidized transaction here.

But charity makes good things. Like... creating a job for a movie teather cashier is somehow not a good thing? Nope, not convincing either.

As said, I have a blind spot here. I find no serious reason why charity should be subsidized. Yes, it feels good and makes good, but so do normal business transactions. If you think that charity is somehow better way to organize social security for the poor than government-tax-mandated social security, think again. (hint: prisoners' dilemma) If you think that you would like to support poor voluntarily, but not by force, you do not understand (or want to understand) that that does not result to sufficient support for the poor.
Only people who don't know anything about Chinese demography are surprised at the loss of Islamic reaction.

Uighurs are not the only Muslim populace of China. The largest Muslim populace is the Hui Chinese Muslims.

They are adherent of Islam, but they fully conform to Chinese culture and language, and they are devoid of religio-political goals.

The activity against the Uighurs is not anti-Muslim, it is anti-non-Chinese, and anti-potential-separatists.

I am sure most of you haven’t heard the word "Hui" before.

They are 10.5 million strong, and they practice Sufism, a much softer and non-radical version of Islam.

They face no re-education camps at all.

What China doing is wrong. Period. But it is not anti-Islam.
Dummit & Foote is fantastic for algebra. I also really liked Carrothers for analysis. None of the other books I used really stood out, other than Lang's algebra book, but that one was for the opposite reason - once, he said "the following is obvious" and I thought, "oh yes, it is!" and it was one of my proudest moments as a math student. Would not recommend for self-teaching.

More important than a good teacher, imo, is collaborators you're learning with who are around your same level. Sometimes they should figure out exercises faster than you, sometimes you should figure things out faster than them, often together. If that's not happening, it's a lot harder (and more frustrating) to learn. This becomes more important the more advanced you get. I never found lectures useful really but if I had no one to collaborate with I was almost certainly going to drop the class.
Why do you want to tag a location on a post if you don't want to also just have the app automatically get your current location which usually is the location that most users would be tagging anyway in a tweet?

Just... Don't... You literally don't need to.

Considering the channels I follow, I can't see the correlation you mention, or we have a different definition for "production quality".
This is thanks to the woman (Ursula von der Leyen) who accepted the spread of child pornography (blocking CSAM results, *no* rule whatsoever to have the content deleted which was easily possible) while lying about almost everything, to push her surveillance agenda while she was in Germany. It’s just more of the same in the EU.
The commission existed far longer and especially these policy decisions by UvdL and in general these surveillance ambitions. These lies were very well established long before any Trump. He is just the exaggerated parody of it. Also a reason why his followers don't care about when he lies. It is business as usual in politics and especially around security legislation.
> Fake live broadcasts eg. Elon video from 2021, classic 'give us crypto we give you back 2x'.

Ugh, those are the worst.

I like space and rocketry, I enjoy watching space related content, so naturally, the algorithm recommends space content. Now, every time I open my feed, there are at least 10 of the fake Elon Musk crypto scam live streams. And no matter how many times I report these fake 'Space X', 'Space-X' 'Space_X' crypto scam channels, they remain up, and YT keeps recommending this junk.

Scammers have figured out that YT has a hard time moderating live streams. And it appears to be working too, many of those fake streams have lots of viewers (unless, that is fake too).
> Too much government control and I honestly don't feel safe for my money and crypto is a safe haven. Having lived through an oppressive regime for years, I'd support anything that takes power and freedom from authorities back to the people (at least to an extent).

That I can completely understand and is what makes me not totally negative towards crypto related services. There is a lot of people that live under oppressive regimes around the world. If we could use technology to create something completely decentralized that would be unstoppable even by lawmakers that would probably be net positive since it gives power to the people.

I get that smart contracts holds such a value, but there is very little benefit for me at the moment since I trust that the government won't mess up my finances (other than taking a lot of it by tax) but it's nice that there is another option.

I have to say that I see a lot of negative development even in my country in general (especially related to free speech) so putting some money in crypto may be worth it long term. I already have some bitcoin and some eth. I have a hardware wallet but I haven't really used it to anything else than bad speculation which I have now lost 50% of its original value because of the dip.

No need to ban all mixers. Just blacklist any coin downstream of a blacklisted coin.

If you intentionally involve yourself in money laundering, you can't really complain about your money being blacklisted.

The ledger is public, which makes blacklisting trivial. No legal entity would be able to hold or trade blacklisted coins.
I am somewhat surprised he only has 80k subscribers and 20M views. Not a lot considering the amount of videos. But he is probably making a nice side income from this.

As a comparison I have done youtube "the honest way", and I posted around 200 videos and have 66k subscribers and 7M views.
The EU is not a democracy. Its not even a 'representative democracy' which is what I think you mean.

It's a technocracy, officials are selected.
As a mild counterpoint, I'm anything but upset with the recent additions to Java. It feels like it's becoming a simpler language, as in many cases, it takes much less effort to tell the compiler what I want to say. The conceptual tools Java provided at its inception just weren't enough to express things well.

In a similar way, even though the lambda calculus, SKI combinator calculus, or and MOV-only assembly are minimal in very real ways, the cognitive burden of expressing yourself in these languages is very, very high!

To pick a friendlier example, I'm a big fan of Lua. Lua is deeply minimalist, and from what I know, its developers try hard to keep its feature set orthogonal (and it has my favorite language feature, coroutines!). It's a great fit for certain domains. Nonetheless, it's not a great fit for most domains; for instance, I never got the sense that it could scale much beyond one-person projects.

General-purpose computing languages are in a bit of a catch-22. People need to do such wildly varying things with them, that in order to be minimalist, they must necessarily put some distance between the features they provide and the use-cases they are applied to. Conversely, to be expressive, they must minimize the amount of encoding required to take ideas in the problem domain and represent them in the language.

A domain-specific language (with high expressivity for the problem domain) invariably tends to take on general-purpose features, as users' needs expand and they push the language to its limits. A general-purpose language (with low expressivity for most problem domains) tends to take on more and more high-level features, to help bridge the gap between the language and the domains it is most often put to use in.

I think a polyglot environment makes a lot of sense. Use high-expressivity DSLs to serve your business logic, and high-generality languages to serve those DSLs. In some ways, that's the ideal of Lisp: your DSLs are indistinguishable from the host language itself, so the experience is seamless. But folks don't seem keen on polyglot environments, Lisp or not. So we're at an impasse.
I don't think two comments that seem to have originated unfiltered from the heart of the writer necessarily pollute his other arguments in the article. In public discourse it pays not being overly sensitive.
HN’s track record on stuff like this is really bad.

This is a place to get interesting news on startup valuations, Rust, and what the current FE framework of choice is.

For everything else it might as well be Reddit.
Damore's memo was an example of an employee actively discriminating against other employees. It showed that he couldn't be trusted in a position of power, and in general, at companies like google, every engineering position has some amount of power (via 360 reviews, interviewing, etc). He hasn't apologized for his actions, or withdrawn his viewpoints. He still can't be trusted.

The ex-felon paid their debt to society by serving the punishment they were given and deserve another chance. You could argue that maybe their sentence wasn't long enough, or that there should be some period after release that they should be held for certain activities, but it's reasonable to have a policy to not discriminate against their status, so they have the opportunity to prove they've changed.
Look at organisations like Against Malaria Fund. 100% of your donations go to buying and distributing bed nets and they collect a lot of data to prove that they end up hung above the beds of the right people.

There are an awful lot of rubbish charities but there are at least a few worthwhile ones so it’s not an excuse for not donating.
Embedding a keylogger not merely in a cable, but actually in a connector?
Meanwhile, Google has removed RedFrost Motivation[1] (over 1.5 million subs and =>120 million views) from the YouTube Partner program stating reason "uses someone else's content without adding significant value for viewers". I kid you not. This is one of my favourite motivational channels with an orignal artistic take. According to post[1], they claim to use talented voice artists and musicians to produce our exclusive poetry readings and narrated quote collections. Their appeal is rejected and ignored by YouTube[2]. So one must wonder why Google allows spam but closes down real content creators?

I love PWAs on linux as well tho. I would rather install the PWA than use electron but if there is no choice, there is no choice :)

I use Tidal as a PWA for example and it works great.
Toxic Positivity
I just want to point out that lots of the sexual abuse of children are by the child's parent(s) (mostly the father, obviously). This is something that is not taken into account and for which any "communication surveillance" policy is useless.

But nobody tries to assess this because, yes, the aim is not the children. It is power.
> Weirdly enough I find recommendation systems getting worse and worse

Most likely because spammers are getting better and better to exploit them.

I'm not saying that they (YT/IG) couldn't do better, but it's a two players competition: the recommendation system vs spammers.
What China doing is wrong. But there is no doubt it is not anti-Islam. It is a xenophobic act.

China has another big community of Muslims known as the Hui Muslims. They practice Sufism, a much more non-radical version of Islam.

They practice Chinese culture, they build their mosques in Chinese architectural styles.

They do not face any kind of "re-education" camps.

With the big difference that if they use those technologies incorrectly, nothing bad will happen. If people use web3 incorrectly they may loose all of their money they have invested in it.
I remember that episode!

I think it'd still work - you'd just have to tweaked it a bit - could definitely have the list ordered with most patriotic "anonymous" tax contributors listed in order and then reward the first three non-anonymous highest tax contributors with the full 'bio'/backstory in the magazine spread.
America needs better pay. Equal pay for everyone. Less working hours. Basic income. A more healthy approach to the entire concept of 'work ethic'... And then maybe America can get some actual good productive sleep.
Isn't it a poor reflection on our institutions when somebody like this can fail so much but be promoted into such important positions? I'm not super familiar with EU or German politics, but literally everything I've heard about von der Leyen's efforts in past positions has been extremely negative and make it seem like she's demonstrated little but extreme incompetence...
Exactly. This is something Americans need to understand.

The European Commission is managed by the governments, citizens do not vote for their members.

"They who have founded philanthropic institutions, such as no other country can boast of! Philanthropic institutions forsooth! As though you rendered the proletarians a service in first sucking out their very life-blood and then practising your self-complacent, Pharisaic philanthropy upon them, placing yourselves before the world as mighty benefactors of humanity when you give back to the plundered victims the hundredth part of what belongs to them! Charity which degrades him who gives more than him who takes; charity which treads the downtrodden still deeper in the dust, which demands that the degraded, the pariah cast out by society, shall first surrender the last that remains to him, his very claim to manhood, shall first beg for mercy before your mercy deigns to press, in the shape of an alms, the brand of degradation upon his brow."
