In one of our house of commons committee meetings about a bill tabled by a conservative, a Bloc member opposed it on the basis that the U.S might retaliate and piss off boomer snowbirds in their riding. Meanwhile, every Liberal MP voted it down, before a month later implementing their own very similar initiative. So it's not just foreign investors, it's also local profiteering locals who fear change and anticipate having their easy lifestyles cut off. Arguably much more of the latter in some form if you dig into the numbers and urban planning factors.

Bitcoin's price, yes, but not the actual currency itself. That will be the major psychological void to fill in for people: thinking about Bitcoin as a currency, not an investment or gambling device.

I expect that to take decades as the government/media are and will continue to attack Bitcoin and influence public opinion as it directly interferes with their business model.
The issue I see with that is that messengers (platforms) have a strong network effect - it becomes useful to you if you can reach your contacts there.

Making it paid creates an inconvenience even if the price extremely low, if you don't even know if your friends are on there (= if it's useful to you) even more so. If your target group is worldwide you need regional pricing (and payment methods) to not exclude economically disadvantaged regions. And even then it might have selective effects towards people who can afford the service more easily.

For a case study of a paid messenger see Threema, though it is probably difficult to measure the impact of its payment model on its success.
Curiously, and sadly, it seems that the only threat we are always primed and ready to deal with is other humans. Which I suppose makes sense given our 'tribe' ancestry.
The work safety wild be lower, though (similar to the at-will system in the US). This may make a difference since OP has kids.
I see. Well, I hope you are able to succeed at that. For what it's worth, we initially focused on consumer use but weren't able to find a path to revenue there.

Despite a lot of noise on HN, we had only a few hundred signups for our paid hosting service. We built super-scalable hosting tech but it turned out we could have hosted them on a single big VM all along... oops.

I think the problem is that the apps, while functional, weren't competitive with their SaaS competitors, and so the only reason to use the hosting service was if you really cared about the Open Source aspect. Maybe if we had a killer app that was actually better than any SaaS alternative, we could have gotten somewhere? But we never found that.

Meanwhile, we got a lot of feedback from people working at big orgs that were forced to self-host for regulatory reasons. Such orgs are terribly served by the current software market, since they can essentially only buy software from companies that specialize in building regulated software, and those companies generally build software that is expensive and terrible.

Real-time collaboration essentially didn't exist in this market, making our apps actually better than what these organizations had! But we had absolutely no expertise in selling to orgs like this, and we never really figured it out. We should have hired for it much earlier, or maybe even brought on another co-founder with enterprise sales experience.

So, we were unable to get anywhere before investors pulled the plug.

With that said, I always say you should not trust anyone's advice. Your story is different and you need to do what makes intuitive sense to you. If your intuition is right, you succeed. But you certainly can't succeed by going against your own intuition, so if someone says something that doesn't make intuitive sense to you, ignore it.
GAMI is tiny (and privately held). You could tour their entire facilities in a fascinating afternoon.

Whether they could be bought is a matter of choice by the owners. It’s not that Shell or Exxon couldn’t afford them, but the principals might choose not to sell for a price that’s attractive to the oil companies.
Foreign tourists are always escorted by gendarmes in those places, especially when it shares borders with Libya. Local tourists can visit but some places require an escort.
This is essentially me, though I'm not day trading and I'm not sure how much better I feel since quitting. I am young, but I spent all of my time up until a year ago doing the best I could to understand what makes good products and how to write great software. This has made me a de facto leader in any team I've joined, including straight out of college. Now I have the work experience to be "senior" (whatever that means), but I've never had the mentorship or fact checking that I think reaching such a position requires.

I still don't feel ready to find a job, but I have no idea how I will ever hold one. Leading is so wearing, and I'm already in such a delicate mental state.

I hope you find where you want to be. For me, I think I _need_ to be where I feel I'm bringing some positive benefit to the world, and I hope that at some point I can find a way to both build good OSS and make some money doing it.
Actually if I remember correctly (at least in NJ) the registration shows the name of the creditor as the owner. That was my only past experience. Mine was a vote in the "no you don't own it" direction and mine was financing not even a lease. (Not that they are fundamentally so different)
GFA revival ?
> Imagine if you tried installing an app on Windows or MacOS, and they demanded that you install a separate package manager along with it

This is basically how Windows works. There's no package manager, so effectively anyone shipping larger software ships their own auto updater, their own dependencies and either embeds or downloads extra installers for the MS redistributables at install time. They don't ask you, just effectively do it anyway.

> Effectively yes -- working on preparing the security overview here, but we need to be in the loop on the re-key procedure.

I’d love to see how you accomplish this. It seems tricky to be able to sign the replacement transaction without revealing the encrypted private key either to yourselves, or to the mobile app. I guess that you could have the app send the encrypted key up to your servers, where it could be decrypted locally for use and then discarded. But if you are going to do that every time the note changes hands, why not just hold onto the private key? Why mess with encryption keys?

You might just need to bite the bullet and maintain custody of the secondary key server side. Is there a particular jurisdiction you are worried about that is motivating you not to want to maintain custody of the secondary key? In the US at least my recollection is that you are a cryptocurrency custodian only if you control all the elements necessary to transfer the bitcoin—meaning you wouldn’t be a custodian because you wouldn’t have access to the user key. I may be wrong about this, though.
> But my main takeaway is still going to be that banannaise's original comment seems to be mostly accurate.

I'd highly recommend taking the time to rethink that position. The systems being implemented now will permanently enslave you. Bitcoin is the only escape. And no, I'm not being hyperbolic.

We already sort of see threading state through chains of (pure) functions; it's how you write React, especially if you use Redux instead of hooks. You lug props around, they are explicitly immutable because you always get a copy, and it's fine, nobody complains much. It feels logical.

Some more effort in packaging this ergonomically, and we'll see purity annotations in TS and explicit passage of state objects around.
What if your server doesn't exist in 5 years.

> The Attorney general office is independent from the govt the president did not tried to incarcerate him.

Ah the AG. Who is highly corrupt too and used his power to jail his brotherś political family for a personal vendetta. We have the audios too. There is an endless list for him too.

> Anaya WAS implicated in pushing for an energy reform ...

Because he was a legislator and that was his job. Besides the accusation came from a protected witness that would say anything to stay out of jail. And it turned out to be false.

> i am a Mexican and against López Obrador, but you seem like an average reactionary troll with no true conception of Mexican and Latin American history.

What are you doing at this time (not meant as judgement or pressure)? I'm at a year (intentionally) unemployed, and I'm still not at the point where I feel like I can make meaningful progress on the projects I want to work on.

I can't really foresee a way that will get me going again, and I don't know that I really want to. I feel ashamed that my wife is now working, for less pay and objectively harder, when I could be making twice as much.
Have you actually tried running Windows using Parallels on an M1? I have, and it's hardly worth the effort.

As for Electron apps - huh? Are you actually suggesting that you can just use Electron apps to accomplish what the OP has set out to accomplish?
Very neat projects! Now one can run CL in Clojure, and Clojure in CL. Must be an alien language after all.

I'd be interested in an Armed Bear Clojure Show HN post. I see there was one a couple years ago, but it didn't get any discussion, but it was probably prior to you actually running Maxima through Clojure.

Anyway, nicely done!
I'm still seeing businesses close because their staff are out sick and I have more personal contacts who've taken sick leave in the past month than any time I can remember in the past 2 years. In my mind that's still in a pandemic.

This is a service I'm interested in, but by fuck is their website annoying. Instead of having stupid moving rectangles of services you can run on Umbrel, why not just display each service as a paragraph of text, with an icon next to it? No animations, and no rectangles moving across the screen.

These people have put a good deal of effort into their landing screen, unfortunately this effort has made it worse than it would have been if it was simple text descriptions. Please improve this.
It all makes much more sense if you consider the world from the following hypothetical utility function of the FAA: to maximize net present value of funding.

If they are 50% efficient, or even 10% efficient, they won't be eliminated. They're still needed for certain basic operations in aviation.

However, if they do something with a 30% chance of a great outcome from aviation, and 1% chance of a negative scandal, that negative risk outweighs any positivity.
This also makes sense as somebody who has never deployed to or operated k8s - I want the most prod-ready and batteries-included cluster config, which I deploy myself on my own infra, and can then customise as and when I need to, and learn as I go.
It’s a really odd take given that by 2015 Apple was already on Arm v8 for the iPhone and the performance gains over v7 were clear. Calling it ‘hopeless’ seems incredibly wide of the mark.
You asked "what's the solution here". I'm just saying: there are solutions here, and they aren't abstract. Is there a widespread belief that the current US high school math sequence is good? I feel like I've read a lot of different takes, many from mathematicians and scientists, about why it's not good.
I second this. I think Haskell is a research programming language, and in a way I feel lucky that I first learned it way back in 2002, long before anyone seriously thought of using it for professional software development.

Haskell 98 is a pretty awesome programming language. It's not the best fit for every domain, but you can write concise readable code in it. The type system is just sophisticated enough to let you model your domain, but not so sophisticated that it becomes a distraction.

A lot of modern Haskell code has the unfortunate property that the types of the functions are harder to understand than their implementations. Type inference is much more valuable when it's the other way round. You know that [a] -> [a] is the right type for the 'reverse' function, so if you get a type error, you're sure that you made an error in your implementation. Conversely, many modern Haskell libraries give rise to extremely complex types, even when you're doing something mundane like making an SQL query. When you get a type error, it's then anyone's guess whether you misannotated a type somewhere or made an error in your implementation.

I personally feel that partial types systems are the way forward. Type the 80-90% of your code that's easy to type without a fancy type system. Dynamically type the rest and write some tests for it. Fancy types make you feel smart (and in all seriousness are a fascinating and important research topic), but their practical utility is limited IMO.
You're confusing closed source blobs and proprietary licenses with restrictive but truly open licenses like AGPL which would also protect the authors.
I agree, that's my least favorite part of the site as well. We'll update it with a browsable directory of all the available apps in our app store soon.

Could be semantics, I guess. Patent examiners permit operation of monopolies in my view.

> (Aside: I wonder what the effects would be of inventing and patenting environment-destroying technologies, then refusing to license them to delay their implementation. The patent system allows anyone to ban a technology, if they can convince the examiner they invented it.)

I imagine polluting companies would ignore the patents ("efficient infringement") and/or try to invalidate the patents.
The keyboard issue should be easy enough to solve. Perhaps they can request you enter a few characters displayed on screen to authorize the new keyboard.

Does anyone remember Bitbills? They did something sorta similar to this very early in the BTC revolution. Instead of all of this advanced multisig tech, instead they put the public key and address in a QR code on the outside and the private key in a QR code held inside the bill. They were likely much more vulnerable to attacks, but they died because they were too early not because of that.
Why not use XML? Fairly similar to HTML, which almost everyone has probably seen/used at least once, and it's kinda easy to understand. It supports comments, attributes and elements and schemas (which help with validation, editor autocompletion and documentation), and is also widely supported in many languages.
The curriculum on your project looks like any other web dev oriented bootcamp to me. Not that anything is wrong with that, it's just in my mind a CS oriented curriculum would be something like teachyourselfcs.

I know several who I believe would be fine with it, all of whom I see regularly, usually down our usual pub, and all of whom would I suspect be happy to do an update at least every couple months in return for me buying them a few drinks for the hassle.

I already have multiple friends who have copies of my house key held in case something really stupid happens, none of whom found that weird and all of whom I'm willing to trust enough that I believe the risk of having multiple such copies extant but unmarked is significantly less than the risk of not having that fallback plan.

In fact, they all considered "being one of the spare key holders" to be an honour more than anything else.

I am very much aware that there are many people whose situations are very different than mine, but it works for me (and they're all wonderful people for whose existence I try to be appropriately grateful.)
Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate that.
This would be really useful, as it would allow people to quickly highlight where they would find it useful for them.

"Oooooooh! Welcome to Rex Kwan Do! Let me show you how superior I am to you know-nothing chumps! Bow to your sensei! Bow to your sensei!"

I had some pretty bad language instruction in college, but the professor teaching Haskell was the worst. Maybe it really was a case of "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.", but I remember everyone finishing that class (just barely) and nobody ever wanting to do use it again.
>Not to totally disagree, but while the first psychedelic trips would be extremely confusing and profound to the first person who experienced them with no knowledge

Very few things are truly magic, and finding out if an experience is truly unique is as close you can get to a miracle in an age of smartphones with multi megapixel cameras and high quality audio mics in the hands of vast swathes of the populace.

But I'm speaking from the perspective of a WEIRD guy[1] -- they seem to be considering dropping the D here in the USA :/

And would have no success, because under FCC rules the telecoms are the closest ones to violating the rules (their emissions are causing problems for others, receiving is not regulated) and moreover, it was FCC decision to go with much smaller guard band and not require various preventive measures.

The altimeters aren't faulty, and everywhere else the regulatory bodies for aviation, radio spectrum, aviation industry and telcos cooperated on figuring things out. Unfortunately for USA, physics doesn't bend just to accommodate bad management of radio spectrum and hilariously bad mobile telco market.
Achieving a given acceleration takes a certain amount of force per unit of mass. If one made the (dangerous) assumption that the propulsion system doesn't wear out over time, then it's more plausible to assume that at the beginning of the voyage you would achieve less than 1g, hopefully ramping up fast enough to keep atrophy to a moderate risk. Toward the end, as the asteroid gets lighter, you would run the engines at less than 100% for comfort. In this scenario the acceleration phase continues well past the halfway point.

And even without magic engines, any acceleration to match velocity with the destination doesn't need to be cancelled out, so the first 'half' of the trip is going to be slightly longer than the back half, even if you could do 1g the whole way (which the rocket equation has some problems with).
Thank you, I appreciate your explanation.
China would probably have the workforce and technology to rebuild it almost quickly, unless the physical destruction is also accompanied by all engineers fleeing to western countries carrying all IP with them. That would represent quite a damage.
In my opinion, the issue is mainly that Bottles is still very much beta.

It really needs those frequent updates, which makes it a bad candidate for distro packaging. The correct decision, in my opinion, would have been to break it up into a stable GUI / configuration system and a daily updated "core engine", similar to how antivirus software updates its detection lists. Distros then package the stable parts and the core engine is updated on-demand.

But instead they insist on merging everything and all dependencies into one huge (and in my opinion very bloated) flatpak image which you, the user, then re-download for every tiny update. 10kb code change? re-download all dependencies and all assets!
As someone born in Korea and have lived 20+ years in Seoul, I can say your “preoffered” reason for prevalent cartoon characters is simply wrong. They are not just government propaganda. They are deep into every fabric of life and psyche of Korea’s younger generation. Arnade’s analysis is not shallow. It is insightful beyond any that I have ever read.
It just takes a few factors to bring someone's chances way down. For example:

- Someone who is indoors for the most lightning-active hours can easily bring their chance of seeing lightning way down [0]

- If you live in a dead zone, you can see 2+ orders of magnitude less lightning per year [0 and 1]

- People vary a lot in how much time they spend outdoors. Some people spend a half an hour outdoors each day, some spend five; there's another order of magnitude.

- If you live in a city or a valley, you often have a far more limited view as opposed to someone on a hill or flat land. If you live on the lower floors of an apartment building in a city, for example, you may only see the rest of your block, versus others that can see several square miles.

Just those four factors together and you've got a plausible several order of magnitude difference in how much lightning people see. I think it's totally possible there's a good chunk of the population that's never seen it.
