I really did laugh out loud. Here: take your upvote.

That reminds me of the saying, "The lottery is a tax on the stupid." To me, it's also reasonable to say, "Buying lottery tickets is a cry of the desperate."

By the way, while we are on the subject of gambling, I don't like the phrase "casino capitalism" because the term "capitalism" is usually a smokescreen which distorts and obfuscates how, for example, the US economy actually works (hint: the powerful collude to enrich themselves). But I do like the "casino" part of the phrase.
Tascam us-122mkII support was dropped. It is ancient, but it still works and there was a Windows 10 driver. I just got a cheaper Behringer uphoria that uses standard USB audio (or whatever) but loosing the Tascam was annoying.
Lottery tickets wouldn't increase your luck surface area, they just would move it (and probably make it a bit smaller).

EG: I spent $X on lottery tickets and missed out on having $X more in an investment that did well or having the free cash to sign up for Y class where more "luck" happens.

I think honestly the biggest component to "luck" in the real sense is getting yourself out there in the world so that you can force multiply with other people. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and so the more people you have around you that share your same goals and values means you have a better chance of making something happen.

What bullshit. Implies that "truckers" as a category had their accounts frozen.

How about: "Some people organizing a riot had their accounts frozen, some few of which might have been truckers, but probably not"

Since, y'know, truckers actually have to earn a living trucking, not parking in downtown Ottawa for weeks leaning on their horns and blathering about overthrowing the government.
People who think AR/VR is a 'fad', won't last; etc - really miss out on the potential for simulation and work in legitimate scientific and research fields.

Screw games, I'm more interested in stuff like VR/AR software that's helping surgeons and mechanics. That's the real future to me.
India isn't a place that needs furnaces for house heating.
Is there a mature, production ready library for deploying deep neural networks in Rust? Searches end up being all over the place and end with a library that hasn’t been maintained in years.
KDE can handle docks, too. Actually, you could have multiple docks if you really wanted...
I'm confused about the breezy way in which they distribute partitions and consumers. Since the producer computes the partition key and the consumer chooses which partitions to bind, how does the central kafka team enforce balance?

One would need some sort of policy about how developers use the Producer and Consumer API's for these things, but that would be a very difficult thing to manage and enforce I would think.
Ciphertext leaks information via its size and its presence / absence.
There's a popular app for KDE called Latte dock[1]. It replaces your bar with a highly configurable dock that was inspired by OSX.

I think what I really was trying to say is that you can increase your luck surface in one area at the expense of decreasing your luck surface in another, e.g. by not being "lucky" enough to have sufficient funds to recover from a jam like a car break down. Like, just saving money for a rainy day fits the bill for increasing your luck surface.
No, it doesn't. "See" refers to our visual perception, whether it occurs in the eyes, the brain, or anywhere in between.

maybe, but at least one ecologist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrett_Hardin pretty much argued that was the end result of public property.

on edit: huh, I didn't know about British economist William Forster Lloyd, mentioned in the article, so I guess at least one economist has argued that it will happen (not though, that it is 'allowed' by)
> There's a reasonably strong argument for this reason that non-reversible decisions should require a greater than 50% majority

Cool. I like the idea of that. Other things that seem non-reversible...

- building nuclear plants/weapons
- burning fossil fuels
- dismantling the NHS

Let's have a 75% majority required on any of that and I'll happily remain in the UK.
What? Amino acids from asteroids? At a sweet, sweet price of trillions of €$£ per gram? That’s gonna be one expensive burger. These are just bunches of CHNO atoms. We can synthetize them in any biochem lab easily enough.
>in a few generations those ancestors will be able to follow their dreams

Most likely no. Most likely they will be just as poor as you are, and have a job building the dreams of people with rich ancestors.
Still frames of UE5 are certainly getting there. (Put it in motion, and that's a different story for sure...)
My view is that if your employer is telling you to come to Jesus, the productive relationship is already gone. Work isn't a marriage or a family; if it's not working, you don't have to take extraordinary measures to preserve it.
This looks great! I've been self-hosting something with a similarity idea to. I can update manually, pulling metadata from Audible if available. But my version is currently just a rough set of scripts that lists from a directory and builds a static RSS feed I can listen to in Podcast Addict. The (experimental) built-in ebook reader in this project looks really intriguing to allow both collections maintained together.
True.

I didn't answer three phone calls and ignored like 10 messages from a co-worker from different department since yesterday afternoon.

Today afternoon I finally received an email from him where he told me that he'll do exactly that I suggested in Jira ticket comment two days ago, and that my further involvement is not needed.

I guess if I answered any of these communication attempts, we would still be discussing the solution to a problem that is already known for more than two days now.
I work with online payment processor and early during the covid pandemic we had some layoffs. They were all notices of 1+ month and everyone of them continued to work for the majority of the notice period. Nobody had anything revoked early.

I understand it happens, but it seems _way_ too common (reading the comments here) compared to what is actually necessary.
Thanks for offering to help. I will go through the book later since I am still applying for jobs and preparing for interviews. It seems like quite a great book though, and I might finally get to learn ray tracing :D

Overcast will do it on iOS, if you're not Android.
This is the case for most market makers in whatever markets they're in. A crash usually produces a huge trading windfall, and then the subsequent "recession" leaves people with little money to invest/gamble with. FTX's traders are veterans of the industry, and they understand the need to be lean when order flow is light, and the need to make as much as possible when it's hot. Coinbase just watched the best two years of trading pass in front of their eyes, and failed to monetize it even to 10% of its potential. If they're lucky, they will get another opportunity to do things right in 5 years. But the trading graveyard is filled with people/companies like Coinbase who did really well for a year because they lucked into a good position, but who should have done 10x better. But then the real players see the opportunity, and run the Coinbases of the world off.
It was a talking point during the Scottish independence referendum (pre-Brexit referendum).

A more recent story about this was posted today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31740623
GNOME 3 took most of the parts of Aqua that I liked and removed the ugly "lickability" from it to seem more professional. It was good (and controversial), but eventually they threw all that work away to Big Sur-ify their desktop.
Incredibly non-capitalist systems also have people dumping garbage in public places and it’s against the law too.
I personally prefer to use a chat system that uses an open standard, is not moderated and requires me to moderate the channels I manage/own. Being an open standard means I can use a generic client with regex filters that could be conditionally applied to usernames, chat text, links, emojis, whatever I want. That is just my own preference but should say something given how lazy I am ... that I would be willing to take the time to ban something myself.

At least one of the IRC daemons [1] for example allows people to toggle any of their channels to have a word filter on/off. +G/-G Channel operators can contribute to word filters or ask an IRC admin to remove one. Since I am linking an IRC daemon I should link one of the web front-ends [2] as so few these days use IRC. I assume these days both of the linked projects are probably dockerized and mostly pre-configured.

As a side note and real world example anyone can already do this today with anything that uses HTML because it is an open standard. [3] I have not seen the word "butt" in ages.

Monetisation of Linkedin works because they provide features job seekers and current employees don't want. Recruitment agents love it, but then again it makes it harder for them to justify their existence.

For me (full time employee who wants to keep in touch with previous collegues, record a CVish, look for jobs occasionally) I want a single source. Things are actually better now I don't need to monitor a dozen different boards and pages. So unless you become the dominant platform, I don't want another.
I met an EFF person on an early morning walk, accidentally within the last year. She wore the EFF brand shirt proudly and was quite confident. After the initial exchange, she seemed honestly surprised at my hard questions with specific examples regarding certain formative cases for the EFF. She also seemed surprised that I was not 100% in favor of EFF, like a sports team fan. I don't know her title but it seemed like she was some kind of senior person there.

edit reflecting on it, I was probably strident in questioning the EFF in that unexpected exchange. As a mannered person her outward bemusement might have been a learned behavioral response practiced among attorneys. Speaking of attorneys, I had some interaction with Lee Tien long ago. A deep thinker, caring and capable person is my impression from that time, so, much respect there. It is probably my own disappointment in the 2022 state-of-affairs of privacy and the marketplace that fuels criticisms of EFF from me. Obviously it is a hard road to walk in the shoes of the EFF daily.
I believe this is part of the "Prevent cross-site tracking" feature. I do know that Webkit/Safari has had this feature for a while now, under the name "Partitioned storage." Safari has a handful of other policies under the "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" banner, like blocked or ephemeral cookies for non-first-party domains.

Firefox is playing catch-up with this feature. The announcement says "...making Firefox the most private and secure major browser available across Windows and Mac." Note the part that I've emphasized.
On the other side, I expect this camera to hold value much better than some coastal real-estate in Florida. /s

The big question of course is: does out civilization and society mostly survive the next 50 years. If so, the value of that camera should be reasonably high, as it is basically the first compact photo camera and the ancestor to all 35mm photo cameras. So if there is still a market for historic items towards the end of this century, this camera should be valuable.

This seems pretty steep for a Markdown editor. What advantages does this have over Obsidian?
There’s no technical reason why this has to be hard. If jira was at jira.atlassian.com and bitbucket was bitbucket.atlassian.com, they would have the same origin, plus they would make the relationship between them visible to any moderately savvy user. It’s only complicated because they allow their marketing dept to make it complicated.
Probably the other way around. There is a sensory illusion that occurs when accelerating that will induce a pilot to deliberately push nose down, sometimes aggressively. It's powerful - I've seen people do it. (And then quickly took over!) The Atlas crash a few years back was caused by this.
I know Firefox has a small market share, but this is the sort of feature other browsers may adopt. Maybe not the big boys like Chrome or Edge, but I could see all the niche privacy focused browsers implementing it and maybe even Safari given Apples claims to support user privacy. If a certain percentage of browsers started to use similar functionality I could tracking companies starting to develop countermeasures.

In fact I've already encountered one site that gave me a popup telling me to enable third party cookies. It was one of those dodgy sites that scrapes and copies Stack Overflow content and the JavaScript that enabled it was very clunky - but it worked. I'm surprised there aren't more websites already doing something similar.
Totally agree. Every time I open System Preference, I spend several seconds trying to find what I'm looking for. I'm sure that the icons are in _some_ order, but it's certainly not obvious to me what it is.
Probably, yes, in exactly the same way (though with significantly less nutritive value) that fill dirt or construction rubble can be used as a meatless protein source.
Ask HN: How do you find tools?
Hi,

I wondered how you discover new tools
or find existing ones for your needs very quickly?

Using Google or searching in Github
can become quite time consuming.

Currently I use

Tesla doesn't actually do anything. They pay people to do things like build cars. If they have to deal with old batteries then they will be paying someone to deal with them. Whether that is an internal employee or external company is just semantics.
Probably because they see that the vast majority of their users never withdraw their coins, and they probably prefer it that way.
I doubt that. I don't tip online purchases. Do you?

As reply to you and anonymousDan: I love it, and I may be overstating it to some extent. I love my kids and watching them grow but, because they're like me, the effort required to explain things is increased because their perspectives require answers with a level of detail that makes them understand, because with 'the little things' understanding is a prerequisite of compliance. Scaring them with loud angry voice isn't enough if your argument isn't solid. My son is unbelievably good at pointing out my hypocrisies and logical flaws, god it's so annoying and beautifully satisfyingly fulfilling all at once.

My wife and I both work, our weekly routine is as follows:

* Monday: daughter piano lesson 4:30-5pm, son soccer practise 7-8:30pm

* Tuesday: daughter dance 6pm-8:30pm

* Wednesday: son soccer practise, until his coach went to play a comp he was getting tennis coaching 5-5:30

* Thursday: rest day, although sons tennis team get together for a hit most evenings, dads also play

* Friday: son tennis comp 6-8pm, daughter dance practise 6-8:30pm, I take my niece roller skating 7:30-9:30pm

* Saturday: Dance comp season there are dance competitions every third week or so, when there's no competition they do 'teams' dance practise, I play tennis comp 1-4:30pm

* Sunday: son soccer game

I try to fit in four or five stretches, weights, exercise sessions per week as well to slow the decline of age.

So, yeah, I fit in playing tennis and roller skating weekly, so I get to scratch those itches, and I have time to tinker with personal projects, and watch movies and shows, but they always feel like 'slices' of time. My job isn't hugely demanding, by my wife's is, plus she does the cooking (because she's the picky one, says I).

But there's also managing screen time, bed times (they're both night owls), chores, homework, school drop offs and pickups, their friends, our friends (!), taxes, banking, finances, physio appointments, car servicing, fixing the goddam toilet and a leaky tap, and I'll fix the WiFi in a minute, and funerals, and birthday parties (they're much less of a big deal then when the kids are under 10, glad that stage has passed).

We've got a great network of family support without which we'd probably have to cut some activities or require more flexible working arrangements. We're using the whole fucking village (but we're also contributing).

I wouldn't have it any other way, and I wouldn't have thought I could cope with all of that if I wasn't in the middle of coping with it.

BUT you need to support you partner and you partner needs to support you.

And I'm totally aware that in the (near?) future we're going to need to support our kids with theirs, and wouldn't you know it: I think I'm kinda looking forward to that.
It is nobody's business. A vote is a vote.
That's my feeling as well. They just keep a table full of who owns which currency. Yeah, it takes a few more people to build in some redundancy, but that's a big number of employees.

or any worse.
I tend to agree with this. But most importantly, many sites go at this the wrong way by putting content behind a paywall. Substack and Bandcamp are good examples of ways to pay and get paid for content. If you want to people to pay for content online, incentivize.
You recover from a stall by relaxing back pressure, not by pushing nose down. If you're pushing when you stall, you're scaring your instructor. :)
Depending the sensor or array of sensors, cameras arguably see more of the world 'how it is' than humans are capable of.

Night Vision, Heat Maps, LIDAR, and Telescopic lenses can capture more of the world 'as it is' than humans could ever hope to achieve. It's why we developed them! :)

Approximately half a billion USD are traded for USDT every single week though... and have been for a number of years now: https://cryptowat.ch/charts/KRAKEN:USDT-USD?period=1w_Monday

If there was a discrepancy between the amount of USDT and USD controlled by Tether, surely that peg would be far away from $1 USD/$1 USDT right now no?

It has slipped during periods of mass hysteria in the crypto markets a few times in the last few years but has always reverted to $1 within a few days tops.

Bit of both. The PGA Tour pays most of the money out to players in the form of the weekly prize purse, but due to their structure are required to treat everyone the same, from world #1 to the guy barely holding onto his tour card. You have to win to earn the big prize money and even for the best in the world winning a golf tournament is really, really hard. Rory has been ranked in the top 10 for 15+ years and just got his 21st win, for example. Most players make way more from endorsements than they do from tournament winnings.

LIV also has truly obscene amount of money to throw around. They are paying guys more than their career earnings to join. LIV doesn't have to worry about revenue sources or a sustainable business model because there isn't any chance they have either.
Yes but as another commentator has mentioned other countries such as Spain would likely veto them joining hence the EU not allowing them.
> There was a post on Hacker News a few weeks back claiming that "natural resources" don't exist and there are absolutely no limits to economic growth.

I don't disagree per se, but a resource is really a material that human ingenuity has been applied to so that it can serve a useful purpose. There are lots of lots of materials that used to be turned into resources that we no longer bother with like whale oil, or current resources that used to just be gunk like crude oil. There are also resources which don't come from nature directly like computation, money, and so on. There is a lot of potential to find new uses for materials and resources in the future that could lead to further economic growth.

Growth can be defined as as the increase or improvement in the inflation-adjusted market value of goods and services produced over a period of time. Services don't necessarily require pulling things out of the ground. Improvements in computing that increase productivity lead to growth. Making a person to person service more efficient or inventing a new service could allow for a lot of future growth. Is this likely to be infinitely sustainable? I have no idea.
And the government stepped in to meet obligations to make depositors whole. The S&L industry collapsed, the folks with $100k of retirement savings in the bank did not. FSLIC got rolled into FDIC for a large insurance risk pool, too.
