Oh. Major League Soccer, not Multiple Listing Service for real estate.

Back in 2008, Google Maps had an overlay for foreclosures, so you could look at all the foreclosures in an area at once. The real estate industry hated that.
This [1] is a 1.5 minute video of NATO expansion since 1949. It was well understood that eastern expansion would, sooner or later, result in conflict with Russia (or the Soviet Union prior). We decided to not just poke the bear but to go cover our arse in honey and twerk in front of it with Aqua's Barbie Girl pumped up to 11.

And of course it sounds nice to say sovereign nations ought be able to choose their own alliances and relationships, yet how long do you think that rhetoric would last if Russia managed to get Mexico to join a military alliance that was more or less openly framed as a force to "contain" the United States? And to add extra icing on the cake, what if they managed to get Mexico to join only after actively and overtly supporting an insurrection that overthrew a democratically elected pro-US regime?

Yeah? Yaml was like, invented to not be bound by an schema like XML is. So instead of re-adding an Schema to Yaml, switch back to XML and have all the Schema tooling inclusive, like XSLT and such.

I think this is a bit of a NIH problem...
-Russia wins in Ukraine

Russia has so far demonstrated that it isn’t capable of much on that front. Ukraine is a big country, they’re barely doing a city at a time, and they’ve only had success on a small front that they’re very familiar with.

-The sanctions were ultimately ineffective, for the reasons you explain above

This remains to be seen - they’re definitely “effective” because they’re changing everything, question is how the West could be “miscalculating”.

-China takes Taiwan during major US political unrest, at BEST destroying the fabs and at worst gaining full control of the leading 3nm/2nm etc process

That would require China to launch an enormous large scale operation, which they’ve just seen can be a total shit show. An invasion would probably not allow them to “take” the 2-3nm process either, and it wouldn’t give them the returns on the investment. Most importantly China currently does not need to be invading Taiwan to be in an advantageous strategic position - they’re “winning” as is.

-A deeper China-Russia alliance, which was expedited by our ineffective sanctions now, puts the screws to US/western companies by blocking access to the latest semiconductor tech

Currently Russia has only managed to weaken and isolate itself. The symmetrical relationship Putin would need probably isn’t on the table, and Russia isn’t a worthwhile partner for China in such a terrible and toxic condition.

(Question is if putting “screws” on western companies is “bad” thing, but that’s another matter.)

All of these things worried me before the war, but Russia’s total incompetence has, if anything, greatly held back the China-Russia relationship.
Agreed that no blackouts is a big deal.

Also interesting is this:
> At launch, all MLS and Leagues Cup matches will include announcers calling the action in English and Spanish, and all matches involving Canadian teams will be available in French.

So, are they keeping the door open for additional languages in the future? Is this subscription available world-wide?

Let's be honest here: Premier league matches aren't exactly cheap to watch. If this is cost-effective and available in a lot of languages, it's an opportunity to watch some matches that are at least at a certain minimum professional level.
Amphetamines has an established history in depression treatment, with some emphasis on light depression. They fell out of favor with the introduction of then state-of-the-art SSRI's (1980s I think).

Somewhat before that – US context late 1970s – there was political pushback against the largely unrestrained (but legal) amphetamine production by the pharma industry, which supplied more than enough to saturate all the recreational and abuse cases.

DEA brought amphetamines into the Scheduled drugs, manufacturing became quota limited. Incidently, the medical community found that psychostimulants does not have any medical value in treating depression.

Some studies have found them beneficial, some not. The pharma industry has since transitioned into opioids but stimulants have been making a comeback for 20 years with record numbers in ADHD,ADD diagnoses.
> Most of tech employees have left

Yeah, you just keep believing that. Western media was happy to report the mass exodus at the beginning of the war, but for some reason didn't notice that the vast majority of them have returned by now. Undoubtedly, some will be better prepared next time and will leave for good, but that definitely won't be 'most of tech employees' because there's nowhere for them to go. It's really hard to emigrate to the West (you have no idea how difficult it is even for those working in IT), and neighboring countries can't soak up that many (I'm from one of them).
> Are there other languages (or platforms) like Go or Rust where the language is well developed that these external dependencies are minimal.

Seeking a language with minimal external dependencies is futile. Real world work almost always involves a substantial collection of dependencies regardless of the language. Gone are the days when the language has everything you need built-in; that went when the network and myriad protocols appeared.

Compared to Java, Go is generally 'simple' in the sense that it doesn't involve a lot of programming complexity created by the dependencies. There are no macros, annotations are few; mostly you just deal with the language itself and the APIs of dependencies. I really like that aspect of Go and I think it is closest to what you have in mind. Wading through error handling boilerplate is no fun though; easily the most tedious part of Go.

Rust is similar to Java in that you find yourself using dependencies that 'decorate' the language with annotations and macros that add capability and complexity. Many of these dependencies are well designed so the annotations and macros are straightforward to use and easy to live with. Others are mystifying and obtuse. Incompatibilities abound; stable vs nightly, Tokio vs std::async, etc. Rust can be a struggle.

I feel like you're making too big a deal over the commonly used Java stack dependencies. Spring is ubiquitous; there are all manner of resources to help you figure things out and when you understand it and stay between the lines it's fine. Add Lombok (a curated Spring dependency) and writing Java is fairly pleasant and highly productive. I can't speak to Hibernate; I've been fortunate to be able to mostly avoid ORMs. The little experience I've had with Java ORM only encourage that tendency.

The issue is assuming people who are anti billionaire are anywhere remotely close to the ideology in that book. It’s a good story, but a billion dollars is staggering and hardly anywhere near desiring ballet dancers to wear chains.
Yes, this is how I feel. I have no problem learning a new skill. I get discouraged when I learn a new skill and just when I start to get really comfortable and productive with it, it's suddenly "legacy" and some new thing is popular.

The only skills that have really stood the test of time for me are C, PHP, unix shell stuff, and SQL.
Most of the wealth is in unrealized gains. How do tax that? Let's say I buy a painting for $1 and discover its a Van Gogh. Now its worth $50 million. Should I be forced to sell it to pay taxes?
On the flip side, the tragedy of the commons prevents progress in a socialized system.

Game theory says there are no easy answers. Child outcome data suggest that strong family structures seem to have the most impact.

Generally the classics: Tolstoy, Pushkin, Googol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Nabokov, etc.

Look up writers and playwrights associated with the Nihilist Movement if you want the explosive stuff (the writings that would ignite the Revolution many years later), although I can't personally speak for the quality of such works outside the authors I've mentioned.

While she didn't write for a Russian audience despite being of Russian descent herself, Ayn Rand's novels certainly have the literary approach of the 19th century Russian novel and the style of 20th century film noir.

If you want early science fiction, there's Aelita by Aleksy Tolstoy and We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (with the latter considered the grand-daddy of dystopian fiction as we know it)
The NFL stopped that in 2014. I’m unaware of any league that still does blackouts like this.

Should I be forced to sell my rock, because I'm getting a $500M tax bill from the government because some weird little cult said they would pay $1B for it - regardless of whether I want to sell my rock?

If you don't want to sell your rock, then set up a family trust to hold the rock with the provision that it can never be sold, then the rock will have effectively zero taxable value and you can keep it in the family forever.

If you don't want to do that because you might want to sell it some day, then it's not really a family heirloom, it's an investment.

Or, put the rock in a trust, tell the cult that they can take ownership in 100 years and have access to it once a year for ceremonies if they'll pay you $100M today.
>Are crypto systems that always wait a full second using system timers, for example, immune to this sort of thing

No. Such a crypto system would still leak information via the amount of power it consumes, which might change the frequency of the cpu, which could be measured by an attacker through the other processes of the computer.
As a kid, I always thought the developers of these ports were simply not very good.

But once I started writing my own code and working in the industry, I realized that you guys were insanely talented people working under ridiculously punishing deadlines and (as you said) zero access to the original source code, assets, etc.

Not familiar with your work in particular but in general, what a heroic and underappreciated game dev niche. Much respect for all that the unheralded port programmers managed to accomplish against the odds.
> Why do we never get proactive defense ... The need for constant time should have...

We got proactive constant time on a lot of cryptographic operations.

The problem is, it's not constant power.. and DFS provides a window by which you can make remote power measurements.
This euronews site is really weird. Majority owned by an advisor and friend of far right Orban. Pushing the same kind of anti-male conspiracy stuff as Tucker Carlson. Weird history of stories submitted for the domain.
> Finally, Ukraine has the right to join any alliance it wants and for Russia to invade over that is bullshit.

In geopolitics, nobody has any particular rights. Whoever has the bigger stick and better propaganda gets their way.

One could argue that there’s no reason to have sanctions on Cuba, that Palestinians should also have the right to self determination, that America doesn’t have the right to interfere in the developing world.

That’s not how the world works, regardless of right or wrong.

IMO - the west could have prevented this war. Regardless of what Ukraine wants, an agreement that NATO will not expand eastwards for 60 years in exchange for Russia not invading. That was all we needed.
Reminds of a CEO’s tweet yesterday that software engineers making $400k+ are the real problem, and it got lots of likes. Today we day a billion is too much. Where do you draw the line (obviously, start with the billionaires and not with the workers), and who gets to decide?
It's not as simple as "bio-born males". Sports federations set rules that trans women need to be taking androgen blockers, and have levels of testosterone below those of some cis women.

And by the time they've done that, their advantages are somewhere between slim and none. They usually fall within the ranges of other women -- and the top cis female athletes will always be at the extreme ends of the range anyway.

So it's a lot more complicated than just "men showing up at women's events", and surveys like this are heavily influenced by it being presented that way. That presentation has a lot less to do with people worrying about fairness to women in sport, and is mostly about harassing and marginalizing trans people. All trans people.

We could have a serious discussion about why women's sports exist at all, rather than just the open class. And that would bring up questions of just what makes women women -- it goes far beyond what's between their legs and even in their endocrine systems.

But I don't believe that the laws being passed to "protect female athletics" are anything of the sort. They don't even try to fairly present the current state of knowledge about genetics, hormones, and the results of legitimate scientific tests of the results of medical transition.
I'm not settled on this yet. I'm from the USA, and one thing that concerns me is the geopolitics of billionaires. What happens when USA taxes billionaires out of existence? Russia and China still have billionaires. Does that do something to the power relationships in the world? Is there such a thing as "our" billionaires?

The other question I have has to do with feudalism. If we let "our" billionaires exist, does that mean that we keep feudalistic pressures at bay? Or do we enhance those pressures? Is that even the right question?
Better solution - sell off the company to the employees. This way you also promote worker ownership.
There is some local competitors in different countries - at least the german Xing is one that i know of.

You should try to find out what their advantage on local/national markets is and see if that helps answering or refining your questions.

Nuclear powers lost wars before, nuclear powers lost proxy wars before, and yet we are not living in the Fallout world.
It's fairly simple, really. You said that wealth ratios have remained the same "for all of human history". Someone came back and pointed out that it hasn't always remained that way and there have certainly been blips. You then responded by saying "not in my country" for the past "1000 years".

Well, according to your first assertion we're not supposed to cover only your country for the past 1,000 years. We're supposed to cover all of human history - every nation, as far back as at least 10,000BCE.
The flagship product is the logistical operation and it is pretty damn far from crappy. I can't speak for everywhere, but at least in most parts of the US, they can get you damn near anything on the same day. For products where you already know what you want in terms of brand, seller, and quantity, or regular recurring purchases of staple goods (cat litter, paper towels, dish soap, anything undifferentiated that you need to repeatedly purchase), even groceries now thanks to buying Whole Foods (provided you have the upscale price point that makes you willing to shop there to begin with), it's about as perfect an interface as you could hope for. Find and click in under a minute and you can probably have most goods in a few hours, at most next day.

If you're trying to discover new products of unknown quality and reputation, then it's not so good. For whatever reason, that seems to be the use case people focus on when criticizing Amazon on Hacker News, but I don't see how that can possibly be the dominant use case. Most of what people ever buy is not something brand new to them that they know nothing about.

I'm looking through my last several months of purchases here, and I'm seeing a bunch of automotive cleaning fluids, mostly from Adam's, polishing compounds and a respirator from 3M, a bunch of power tools from DeWalt, a Bose speaker. Known brands from reputable sellers, every item what I wanted and it got here quickly. In some cases, I either tried to or had to purchase elsewhere. For instance, Amazon had most of the DeWalt power tools I wanted, but was out of stock on rotary polishers, so I had to get it from some place called Acme Tools, and it took a week and a half. Amazon got me everything the next day. (I had a bunch of stuff stolen from my garage is why I needed all this at around the same time.) I tried to purchase the Bose speaker from Best Buy since I have one a five minute drive from me, and their website claimed it was in stock and I could pick it up the same day, but then right before the pick up window, they texted me to inform me they didn't actually have it and wouldn't for another week. So I canceled the order, went on Amazon, and they had free same day delivery.

It should be obvious that anything that goes from not existing 25 years ago to top five market cap company in the world is probably offering value somehow.
> Uh, yeah?

There was something about liberty and safety and deserving neither that some US president said long time ago that I think might very much apply here.
That’s not true. For example, a lot of Benadryl will make you hallucinate, but that doesn’t mean a normal dose will make you hallucinate a small amount.

Getting horribly fall down drunk as a teenager caused me to shit my pants once. But I didn’t so much as fart when I got tipsy on vacation recently.
But look, it has a Delete key AND a Backspace key... just every normal keyboard today. But inexplicably not the vast majority of Apple's.
The website appears to be https://photoshop.adobe.com. However on Firefox I get "Photoshop on the web is not supported in this browser yet.".

I think it is a good idea for them. Get users familiar with your product and hope to get upgrades. There are enough free photo editors available that they are probably cannibalizing a negligible amount of sales from people who will avoid upgrading because this edition is available.
“…and many business careers have much higher top end potential than software development careers.”

But I can definitively say that any repo access is heavily logged. And this info is from like almost 10 years ago when I had first hand experience. I know they've upped their game in terms of repository access gating since then.
Hey Chris! It's definitely an area I'm interested in. The super decentralized IPFS blocks is a little bit of a pipe dream, but it seems like it could work in theory.

I like logseq because the "primitive" where they store/organize the data called a "block" which is pretty well thought out. It's just an object with content and a pointer to a parent. Seems like you could content hash it and store it on ipfs forever. Haven't fully thought out what that would look like yet though. It could be developed as a plugin for logseq. Seems like it could scale, lots of other problems like search though.

{:block/uuid #uuid "62a8318e-ff36-4f97-9ef5-f19c3f3041bf",
:block/left {:db/id 67152},
:block/format :markdown,
:block/content
"Users create a bio under a page called `[[logseq-social/profile]]`",
:db/id 67144,
:block/path-refs [{:db/id 20}],
:block/parent {:db/id 67160},
:block/unordered true,
:block/page {:db/id 20}}

https://github.com/logseq/logseq/blob/d0755ef161eb826e452b92...

The other dapp "primitive" I'm interested in is dChat. Seems like there could be some overlap between blocks and chat built on the same primitive.

For now, I'm mostly focused on getting technical users to just make their own personal sites since it's really easy with logseq and netlify.

I'm not a dapp expert at all (though I do host my traditional static site on ipfs https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmRDPhzAjBdBovPhhPKt4tanFp...)

Happy to hear from you and I'll definitely look into the lens protocol!
Link to tweet please?
That's just a different way to say you can leverage yourself close to infinity if you want.

(How close depends on how much sETH trades to ETH on the dollar - if I understand the article correctly, it used to be pretty close.)
> Syria was the worst part,

Agreed. Obama came in from the context of the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan and wanted to avoid another similar, and was too cautious and non-confrontational, especially once Russia got involved.

> Pushing NATO members to meet their defense spending obligations ended up being damn-near prescient

This was not “pushing” so much as “ineffective trash talking”. And it had nothing to do with making NATO or European militaries effective, but was based on Trump’s inability to understand anything except in narrowly transactional terms, not comprehending the possibility of second-order effects or complex systems and therefore unwilling to listen when people try to explain that supporting NATO and maintaining the prevailing geopolitical order is in America’s long-term interest. With maybe some bonus of trying to help Putin.

> I'd love to see more breaking down of trade relations with China

Trump’s #1 foreign policy “accomplishment” was pulling the USA out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, undermining US economic and social power in the region to China’s great benefit.

> Withdrawing from Afghanistan was way overdue and it disgusted me

The USA should have pulled out of Afghanistan years before (or never gone in at all), but the way the Trump administration handled the transition was profoundly incompetent, and made things much harder for the Biden administration (the only president of the past 4 with the guts to go through with it).
Ask HN: Do you use the browser address bar to search?

> Our financial system knows what to do with that situation. It is outlined in https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/banking/facts/payment.html. SBNY gets shut down, a new bank buys them, and depositors with accounts over $250,000 see their bank accounts reduced TO $250,000. USDC, as the largest of those depositors, would then no longer be backed.

That is..not how it works. Are you assuming all of SBNY's loans are worthless / bad debt? If SBNY folded the loans would get sold to pay back the creditors. They wouldn't get the full value obviously, but those loans don't just magically disappear. They'd certainly get more than the 20 cents on the dollar you are claiming..

Even your own link covers this..

> If for example, a depositor has only a single account with a balance of $255,000, he or she would be paid $250,000 through FDIC insurance and would receive a claim against the estate of the closed bank for the remaining $5,000 which is not insured. The depositor would be given a Receiver's Certificate as proof of this claim and would receive payments as the assets of the bank are liquidated.

Someone being so confidently and condescendingly wrong is peak hackernews.
