Because it solves 5 problems while creating 4 more in the most complicated way possible. Seriously. It makes some things better, no question, but it is very complicated for some (most) people and is very time-consuming.
> The whitepaper was included with the rest of the source code, which was released with the MIT license, see e.g. this archive.

It doesn't? The archive he links to includes a copy of the whitepaper, but this repo is one archivist's collection of files, not an official distribution. The whitepaper is not in the nov08 distribution or the bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz, and the document doesn't include a license statement. I'd believe it's MIT licensed, but this post doesn't establish that fact or sound like he presented more compelling support of the idea to Amazon.

As a practical matter, it's vanishingly unlikely that Satoshi Nakamoto is going to file suit. But as a legal matter, he hasn't shown that the whitepaper was released under a license permitting redistribution or that he has permission from the author. Amazon gave him several options and opportunities, then declined to participate in apparent copyright infringement.

Amazon has a huge problem with people republishing others' books via KDP and their marketplace, even getting fake versions added to or replacing authentic listings. This process seems like it might be a pretty good way of addressing that. The inconvenience comes from not wanting to give the well-practiced scammers a guide to defeating the process, which is a common tradeoff.
Even if you wrote it down, would that capture the endless wonder?
Great deep dive. Those that decry the US for not having a rail network comparable to Europe's only consider the passenger side of the equation. We have perhaps the best freight railroad network in the world.

People on HN have been predicting facebook's demise for nearly a decade now. People on HN have been wrong. Almost any popular sentiment on HN, especially tech related, seems to be nonsense.

> The metaverse is a real idea yes - but strapping a phone to your face and walking through your coffee table isn’t it.

And the idea of people watching video on a tiny smartphone was initially thought to be absurd.

> When they first announced the rebrand I actually thought it could be genius

Did you really?

> but epic strategic miscalculation seems to be going around a lot this year.

Right. Like facebook's miscalculation in buying instagram, whatsapp, etc.

I've never used facebook. Think the world's better without facebook and most social media and large tech companies like apple, microsoft, google, etc. But man, you people have been so wrong for so long and it's hard to take the facebook haters seriously anymore. Just like the tesla haters a few years ago.

Ask HN: To what extend is multithreaded app server more performant?
I am in the process of having my first real life production app (Ruby on Rails). I have tried back and forth Puma and Phusion Passenger OSS.

I know the first one is mutithreaded and more performant, but Passenger is sooo easy to set up and config that I am already biased.

Is the different so important?

PD: The application is a kiosk-like remote managing for smart TVs

That's much different from someone "bankrupting" themselves over crypto. Making a $5K bet when you have decent savings carries pretty minimal risk, like you said.
It's already available. WIRED link to it:

Key to the dispute is section 3.2 (results).
> There is another way, which is negotiating and clearly stating one's goals.

Negotiation of every form (whether it is for buying a car or a trinket at the flea market or for pay or promotions at work) only works when the option of walking away from the negotiation is also a viable option and both parties know it.

For someone who is independently wealthy and can walk away from the job any moment, there is great power in negotiating their way up. But one must be ready to walk away.

For us regular people who need a paycheck, negotiating with current job is very risky. It's much safer to find a potential new job and negotiate with them before accepting it (when you can still safely walk away).

Taken literally, that seems unlikely - Shakespeare, Homer, Dante, the Bible, etc. But I wonder how many we would recognize.
Also, where should I look for the problem?

- Instagram security, as it didn't detect it as a weird login.
- Google security as the password is shown as being saved by Google Smart Lock (can't see how, as it doesn't appear in my google saved passwords, nor in my friend's saved passwords)
- Samsung security as it sent over Smart Switch some passwords that shouldn't have been there.
I recently tried to register at facebook using a twilio number (yes, I was pulled in kicking and screaming). They never actually sent the verification code until I used another number.
On the face of it, no politician wants to risk tanking an org that employs a significant part of their jurisdiction. Providing even minimum wage employment to thousands is an objective public good and hard to do, even for scoundrels. Big employers are not above the law, but they sure get more leeway.
> Tax the rich the rich flee to Europe.

Good. Maybe putin will take care of them there.

> Economy 101

Economics 101. The rich disappear. Nobody will notice. The working class disappears, the economy collapses.
What a short sighted response.

I believe the original claim has substance behind and it was a very interesting non-trivial observation.

Also, it proposes a very exciting idea for an emergent phenomena that, if understood, could have deep consequences to our understanding of knowledge, language and a lot of other related topics.

People's risk aversion changes throughout their lives. Young people, in general, tend to be much less risk averse than older people. This makes sense, since young people have not accumulated as much property and so have a lot less to lose.
You could! I've done it before but ffmpeg-wasm is also very slow and there are memory limitations that come with WASM as well. At least on Chrome.
I wish Matrix/Element had optional read receipts and typing status. In some circumstances, I prefer to avoid the artificial time pressure added by the knowledge that others can see when you have read their messages, as well as the sense of commitment from starting to type a message.
I agree, but it depends on a few factors.

A hot desking setup where you can't sit next to your colleagues like OP described is a total waste of time.
No offense but it is impossible for you or I to estimate how they should run their company and whether this decision is good or bad as to their bottom line. We have almost zero knowledge about their internal workings of nearly what 100,000 people do and what projects should get cut and how hard employees are working or should be working and we can only opine on whether you or I prefer or don't prefer to work remote ourselves. If you had data that people were less productive from home, would you change your mind on your personal business? It's odd to assume that he would not have that data before making this decision.
In short a dedicated employee is the one that is willing to sacrifice a lot for the success of the company.

And assuming employees being equal in capabilities I regard the ones unwilling to take this extra burden as less dedicated than the ones that accept it.
Really no different than a flesh-and-blood editor questioning copyright. This is not the dystopian future you're looking for...
I fully agree with that. Some companies should go fully remote, some mixed and some onsite. It would however need to evolve over time with employees moving to the type of company they want once things have settled down after the remote chock of the pandemic.

I just hope that there will be companies that are fully onsite and proud of it. Now they are getting shamed for it even when there are people like me who wants to a work at such a company.
I used FB only for events before the pandemic, so I didn't use it much in the last years.

I like Instagram and WhatsApp, but Meta's "core" business is non of my interests.
I'm a recruiter at Bowery Farming. Bowery Farming builds smart indoor farms near cities, growing fresher, pesticide-free Protected Produce in precisely controlled environments, 365 days a year. At the heart of each farm is the proprietary BoweryOS, which integrates software, hardware, sensors, AI, computer vision systems, machine learning models, and robotics to orchestrate and automate the entirety of its operations form seed to pack and delivery. As a result, each farm creates far less waste and uses a fraction of the water and land compared to traditional agriculture.

At scale, we provide a reliable food supply chain at a fraction of the resources to traditional agriculture and we are looking to expand into new types of crops like strawberries and other budding fruits.

Curious how a group of people that seem to care so much for each other could care so little for everyone else. That is the thing I just can't wrap my head around with Facebook... what did you/do you believe the mission is, before it was VR?
You'll find things that are stupid, both in the code and in company policies and procedures. Keep your mouth shut about them for a while (say, three to six months), until you see if there's a valid reason for those things. If not, then you can say that they're stupid. But not your first week.

I really did like Google Wave and I'd love to see someone try the concept again, but it did have problems. Among other things, it really was quite buggy. Early on, this was understandable: they launched the product at a very early stage, which IMO is fine as long as you warn users what they're getting into. But as I recall, it never really stopped being buggy.
Looks nice! Would buy if it was on GoG or Itch. Do you plan to release the game outside of Steam?
Is there something inherently wrong with finding meaning (or perhaps motivation) from compensation? Particularly if you're using money for worthwhile reasons? You might be surprised at how motivating a big bag of stock options in a unicorn startup can be (ok, maybe not so much in recent times :-)).
In this PNN approach you are solving for what additional stimuli, when applied to the system alongside the inputs, produce the desired result for a given input. In reservoir computing (RC) you don’t bother to provide any additional stimuli, and find the linear combination of reservoir outputs that gives the desired result. Training the former is more demanding and analogous to a NN (thus the name), but directly produces your answer from the system. The latter is very easy to train (one regression) but requires post processing for inference.

Idk, what hit me most were mostly unknown knowns.
Kind of a non-sequitur of a response, not sure you read my comment, with its direct question? Even if you were responding to the second paragraph only -- and construed it as my suggesting people be imprisoned -- weird! Anyway, you answered, in a roundabout way, my direct question in another comment, namely

>>They also have the power to refer their determinations to other branches of government / Attorneys General etc for further enforcement of the law should their concerns not be addressed [0]

from which I can infer that this ""voluntary" "compliance"" thing they've got going on is the extent of the shit they're willing to give. My layman's reading of PIPEDA [1] suggests that court orders are eventually possible, but this act of obvious malfeasance (or, if that encroaches on a legal term, try 'fuckery') deserves a... promise to do better?

Seems like the message is "if you get caught, we'll politely ask you to stop". Not the kind of response I'd like for the granularity of this kind of tracking. Sets a bad standard.

May be a dumb question, but what does a COO do at a software company?
They have frequent heavy discounts on certain items. I often eat there anyway, and almost half price for a meal at least once a week is a good deal. (I know, I know, spending money on cafes is a "waste of money", I can already hear you say it. For me it's not, trust me.) Plus, a free XL coffee/tea every 7 purchases if you're a regular customer is a no-brainer.

(You can deny the Location permission prompt if that bothers you. You don't even need the app to collect points, just register once and delete it, but you do need to manually "activate" offers that are then linked to your card.)
Indeed. I think AR will prove to have higher utilization and usefulness. Google glasses were too soon for true HUD, sure. But perhaps we arrive there sooner.

That said, kudos on the strides VR has made in the past decade!

This is true. But I had to bring all those things anyways, when I didn't run on k8s. I still needed some form of all of that. (Though "container registry" might be "package store", or something, depending on specifics of the implementation. Some form of artifact store.)

And with-k8s and without-k8s to me is pretty similar: we vendor or FOSS most of it. The major cloud vendors all have container registries (of … varying quality…); similarly, at a previous company we used S3+a small shim as a Python package store. (We later moved to a vendored solution.)

ELK for logs meant having a daemon set up per VM. Easier in k8s where I can push a DaemonSet to the entire cluster. With VMs … it's a per-app nightmare, really. Even then, that's really not perfect. In practice, in both situations, I feel like you end up having to integrate the apps with the metrics/logs providers. There's just not a common format. Sometimes, there are some libraries, e.g., there's some stuff for Prom's HTTP metrics APIs. Logs … eugh. Nothing amazing; getting structured logging requires per-app changes regardless of what you do. Sure, in either VM or k8s, you can just "suck up syslog/journald / docker logs", but what format are those in? They're not, is the answer, and I find most places do a "one text log per line" assumption (and then have stuff with multiline logs that just gets destroyed/corrupted/lost by the logging daemon) and it misses out on any sort of structured logs. jsonlines through those channels is a slight step up, but usually requires app changes.
For many people, email is better used for thoughtful long form messages, while chat is better for short quick thoughts. This is mostly a social difference, with a bit of UX thrown in.

It’s pretty much guaranteed that in most of areas of life there are/were some undiscovered geniuses. If you grew up in Germany during my youth there would have been a good chance you wouldn’t have been discovered if you were the best basketball player of all time. Or it’s very possible that some band write the perfect rock song but never published it. Or that somebody wrote a great book but didn’t bother to get it published.
Your point is well met, and it makes sense, I can follow your logic much more clearly, even while I probably still won't venture as far as to take on as massive risks with "web3" as some people I know have, I completely get the logic you were trying to make now. Thanks for expanding further and helping me understand your point

I think Meta will underdeliver, yes.

But the Metaverse is alive and well, at least if you can detach yourself of that superficial XR vision many people are touting online.

Just look at people buing skins for games and using filters and faceapps for their social media photos and videos.

I know many friends that are very active on social media, and they don't look like themselves anymore.

Sure, this isn't interactive XR content, but it's a whole virtual world that has detatched itself from reality years ago.

There's two camps here. On Crypto Twitter and Reddit, the space being ridden with scams and fraud is widely acknowledged and even accepted as part of the game. Some take it even as far as to congratulate the scammer, although most don't. There's also people actively researching and documenting scams, and doing good in warning people. But overall, one can say that this public outlet of crypto is very much aware. They know in what type of casino they're playing.

We won't ever hear of camp 2, the silent majority that bought into the scam and lost their money.

"just shaking my head that anyone thinks putting their life savings into an alt-coin has any chance of going well for them"

There actually is a chance that this goes VERY well for them, which is of course the fatal attraction. During a bull run you can buy almost any altcoin and it will rise with the tide of the crypto market as a whole. Watch Bitcoin's trajectory in a 1 minute chart and compare it with almost every other chart, it's nearly identical, because it's algorithmically traded.

You're still right though that you should only put in what you can afford to lose.
