Crypto Fund 4 – A16Z crypto
I wonder if this is statistical discrimination.

Like in theory, someone who closes an account $2.50 in the negative does very little damage to the bank directly. The $2.50 is a small fraction of the annual overhead of the bank account.

Yet these behaviors are highly correlative of unprofitable checking customers. The entire checking account model seems to be based on whales that return the bulk of the profits. If you sneeze wrong, your statistically 10x less likely to ever become that whale.

From a profit maximizing POV, it totally makes sense for banks to do this. But from a "banks are a basic utility" point of view, it doesn't seem to make sense.
Thank you, Tribes is great... Shazbot!
+1 for lovers in a dangerous space time. Cute graphics, and definitely solid game play.

My friend and I used to play it a lot, but we were hilariously bad at it.

We would end up bickering at each other over mistakes and sometimes self sabotaging the ship out of frustration. All in good fun though, we had so many good laughs over dying in stupid ways.

Definitely need at least 1 friend to play though. Single player gives you a little CPU dog that you command around, but it's not nearly as fun.
The only games I ever play are single-player straight-forward ones, like the original Halo.

You're a fellow with a gun or two and there's not much else to know: there's no upgrade ladder, no downloadable content, nothing else to pay for... just go through the story, shoot things and hide behind things, and be on your way.

More classic Halo-like games please.
>The preferred term is "transgender", or just "trans (people)".

Yes, now that you said it, I remember.

>But using a term that almost no one on the other side uses (and claiming no knowledge) is an indication that you haven't actually put in much effort at all in listening to and understanding the other side.

It's not the other side to me, I'm all for equal civil rights of all people. I'm vehemently against violence or bullying against other people and believe people should be given the benefit of the doubt and judged by the actions of their character. My only concern with any aspect of the trans movement is people born as males and aging past puberty competing with females in female sports. I don't think it's fair to females, they are just too strong biologically. Females have been fighting for rights for over a century now and this particular aspect seriously encroaches on that. We have men's and women's sports for a reason. It can also be extremely dangerous in contact sports.

I understand, I was about to do the same. Thanks for the decency in our discussion, I learned some stuff.
Not as complex as you are suggesting but in an older FPS they simply added medic ability to all players, so that any other player can heal another if they switch from shooting to that mode by simply pressing a button (delaying ability to switch back to a weapon)... Even though it's incredibly basic, it created a different sense of value among team mates that merely another shooter does not.
then i would consider it working hours, so the premise here seems to reduce to how much overtime i'm willing to spend.

I’ve been dabbling in SwiftUI in an existing UIKit app from time to time for a while now and have similar feelings. Even if you get past the lack of docs, SwiftUI is missing just enough bits and pieces to make it a pain. I can usually get things about 90% to where they’re supposed to be, and then I rewrite it in UIKit because that’s the only way to get the fine details right without convoluted hackery. Lack of backwards compatibility doesn’t help here — several times something I’ve needed has only been available for iOS 14/15+.

I think it has massive potential regardless, but yes it’s going to need some time to fully bake (much as UIKit did).

It’s too bad that Cocoa Bindings never found their way from AppKit into UIKit. I understand their exclusion was likely due to CPU power limitations early on, but that hasn’t been a problem for many years at this point.
> You could write an opposite article featuring people using SwiftUI that have never touched UIKit or iOS code before and it would be nothing but glowing praise.

A grand strategy game, that my friends will be willing to play.

I love Paradox games, but none of my friends are willing to play a game that involves staring at maps and reports for hours on end.

That or something like the old Mount and Blade: With Fire and sword conversion.

I love musket warfare games, but they either feel too realistic and immersive (War of Rights) or too much like multiplayer FPS (Holdfast).

With Fire and Sword though has mount an blade tactical mechanics, but is also arcade-y and fun to play without devolving into multiplayer nonsense. Update that with a modern engine and FPS mechanics and it could be great.

Handbook of Damage Control
She sued my grandfather's home-owners insurance for not paying the full price of plumbing work (they offered half, knowing that wasn't the contract) when some pipes collapsed under his house. She won, plus got extra money for having to wait, which allowed my grandfather to make some other fixes to his house.

She also sued a large solar-panel installation company because their installed panels didn't work after several months of techs coming over. This was only a partial success as the company liquidated. They had apparently done the same thing to a few other people, and got sued into oblivion.

Lawsuits are a good thing for society sometimes.
That's pretty nice, but won't work integrations that don't let you run custom code.

In those situations it's a good idea to run an authenticating reverse proxy in front of your Jenkins instance, and allow certain paths in case certain query parameters are set.

So for regular access, your users need to auth with your SSO.

Webhooks include something like `?apiToken=12345` in their request, which you check in the reverse proxy config, and then use to allow access to the relevant URLs.
SwiftUI was a mistake.

The jury is still out on Swift itself.
People say this about a lot of security things. Ultimately, a lot of security is about constraining systems, and that makes people nervous. When I got my first Android phone I could root it pretty trivially and run a fully customized ROM, these days it's not really practical on many devices.

And for the same exact reason that I have less control over my phone, I also trust it radically more for my current threat model.

iOS is maybe a counter-example. It relies a lot more on the walled garden, which helps a ton with malware, but not as much with "legit app got owned".

It's worth noting that you explicitly believe Android to be "free-er", even though I would say the average Android device is safer. The two things aren't always at odds, and with Android it's also very device specific.

Another good example is HSMs and TPMs. Many people fear that these devices are inherently untrustworthy, but they also drive a lot of important modern OS security.

My position here is that Linux is something of a disaster with regards to security and it truly can not get better for a number of pretty fundamental reasons. If I had Google money I'd absolutely be investing in ways of removing Linux from my security boundaries - something they've already done to some extent with gvisor.

I think this is the spot-on critique of the attitude in the article.

I was in college when my mother's parents died a few years apart. They had all kinds of stuff, but I actually appreciated getting some of their kitchen utensils. Not the flatware, but the knives ( not great ones, just okay ), the slotted spoons, the mixing bowls, hand mixer, things like that. I didn't have any of that stuff. It isn't worth much money, but when you don't have that stuff it is non-negligible to buy especially with the decision cost.

I still use two of the knives for the rougher work in the kitchen and camping.

It brings to mind the story of Jesus talking to the "Rich young ruler" [0]
Where they guy is dismayed at confronting the idea - as we might translate here in this discussion - that his possessions are a great burden and not at all as valuable to anyone as they feel to him. Jesus' instructions seem economically wrong ( Wouldn't some of the stuff convey more value if simply given away instead of sold and given as money? ) but that seems to be the point being made for this individual. ( something of "you think you know what's right, what's valuable, but it's all just a mess" )

The concept of the game of "Democracy" is nice, but the issue is that its main goal becomes quickly winning the elections. And once you start listening to the majority and adapt your party policies to whatever the population wants currently, you keep winning the elections, but can't do much to influence what you think is right.

If you really want to shape a country in your direction, autocracy, or dictatorship is the only way. Otherwise, you become just another populist leader that always wins elections but nothing changes.

Just like in real life ;)

Not all fiction is pure fantasy. Sometimes, the fictional work is from someone very smart and researched on a topic that comes up with a story that not only entertains but provokes a larger discussion on the topic. For example, Tom Clancy wrote about using an airplane as a kinetic weapon. Clancy was known for being very well researched on the topics he discussed. Too bad his plot device wasn't given more attention in the real world or the beginning decades of the 21st century might have turned out differently. From my understanding Crichton was known to have researched his topics as well.

Humanity ignore the thought discussions that ficitional work provokes at humanity's peril.

Yeah, plug and play drivers are much better today than years ago, they're also still challenging in many situations.

For someone with your technical skill level it's very manageable, most folks don't know what a mainboard is.

Honestly, I like the concept of this game. If you dropped all the proper names you mentioned and just call it "Just Be Nice" it would be palatable to 1000x bigger audience. You don't need to be religiously motivated to find it challenging to be nice in particular scenarios. It's a theme I've never heard of explored and I would like to play it (but without the Mormon stuff)
As a solo, hobbyist iOS & macOS dev, I like SwiftUI. It's much easier to learn than all of UIKit and AppKit. Feels like React.

That said, I find myself dipping down into AppKit and UIKit quite often. Any kind of complex views or UI interactions outside the happy path, just grab that UIViewRepresentable.

> felons already can’t vote and participate in the electoral system

In some places, yes. This is already viewed as problematic disenfranchisement by many people.

> invoking the current age requirement of 35 to become president

In sortition, your ability to serve in office becomes your "vote". The age requirement of 35 in a sortition system disenfranchises younger voters in a massive way while in our current system it does not.

In sortition, selecting the "good ones" who are in the lottery is just a problematic as selecting the "good ones" who are allowed to vote in elections. While that doesn't mean we should have no restrictions, it does mean those restrictions should face very high levels of scrutiny and be treated as biased by default.

> it’s questionable that many would accept felons being “randomly” chosen to lead the country.

But again, sortition only works well if your sample is large enough to be reliably representative. It won't work well for selecting a president from a nation or selecting 2 senators from an entire state. This is because a sample of size 1 or 2 will always be prone to selecting outliers.

> who wins office by random chance did so by subverting the lottery

The integrity of the lottery, like the integrity of elections, is crucial to it's legitimacy. Our lack of experience with making this sort of selection process transparent, accountable, and hard to subvert is to me the biggest argument against sortition.

What you’re describing is a popular scam where a scammer rebroadcasts a previously run live stream with famous people and instructions to send crypto to an address for a “giveaway”. Since the livestreams are about crypto, people tune in and see a banner saying “send crypto here for a chance to win more crypto”, see a conversation that seems live with people they know, and fall for the scam.

These people you mentioned are not actually doing a giveaway, and YouTube is completely asleep at the wheel for combating these sorts of scams (they’ve been around for a couple years now, and automated detection is a harder engineering problem than scraping tweets).

The problem is that they’ve very lucrative for scammers since the scam is confusing enough for people that they think they’re credible, doubly so when they use hacked channels with changed names but have hundreds of thousands of followers to do the broadcast.

IMO YouTube absolutely needs to step up their game here - I’ve fought this sort of fraud at larger orgs and Twitter and Facebook both have pipelines established for security teams to escalate these things, meanwhile YouTube takes a report, let’s the scam run to its entirety, then picks up the pieces after the damage has already been done.

So it's like BitTorrent but you have to pay to use it? It still doesn't get at a concrete use. That's been the problem with blockchain from day 1, it's interesting, there just isn't anything you actually need it for.
The conditions to reach sonic flow are surprisingly modest!

It's fully characterized through the pressure ratio between high-pressure reservoir (here: inside of bottle) and low-pressure surroundings, and a parameter characterizing the molecular structure, the isentropic exponent.

For diatomic molecules (our air), the isentropic exponent is 1.4, and the critical pressure ratio at which Mach 1 will be reached is ~0.5, i.e. as long as the high pressure is twice as high as the surrounding pressure, the flow will reach the speed of sound. For more complex molecules the isentropic exponent approaches 1.1, and for steam 1.14, with a critical pressure ratio of ~0.58.

I.e. when you release air from a >2 bar (30psi) car/bike tire, you have sonic flow right there!

Ask HN: How would you improve teaching?
I think the way we are taught could be greatly improved. What do you think? And what would be the ideal way to teach?

bad teaching examples from personal experience:
---
>you have 1/5 exercises wrong and therefore sit in 2 hour long exercise sessions waiting for that specific exercise to be solved. (20 students * 20% * 2h = 8h wasted)

>lectures add no value or excitement to content. Most students learn it better and faster reading the script. video lectures are also very bad. You mainly go to the lectures for social interaction or a clear conscience.

>a friend made a teaching internship in Uganda this winter: the kids have school for 15h a day. They didn't learn anything, it was basically to keep them busy and increase the price for the girls when they are married off

There are many more and better examples, these are just from the top of my head. For me it is just so frustrating to see, especially for the other people. For example, there are physics lecture that were given for the past houndred years, how can my professor then give them in such a bad way that noone understands, but after a 1min youtube video, it is all clear.

I will apply for a TA position next semester. At some point in the future I (try/)want to create high-quality opensource content. In our time it makes no sense that thousands of professors give the same, but bad online lectures, all around the world. I could go on and on...

> As long as there is a decision to take the issue persists, it's only if you always go left (or always go right) that the issue doesn't exist.

That's not true. There are two problems.

1. The math is set up to rule out a lot of obvious solutions. Write out A_t(x) for the decision rule "always walk right at a constant rate." For any rate, A_t(x) becomes a spike at 1 for t > some threshold that depends on the rate.

2. The math rules out randomness. A_t(x) can't be defined for the decision rule, "flip a coin and walk right half the time, left the other half," because you wind up at 0 with probability 1/2 and 1 with probability 1/2 for t > some threshold and the problem is defined so A_t(x) must resolve to a single point.

Once you do that, the only solutions left are kind of mind fucks. But you can't draw any general conclusions from it.
