The bigger non-financial question, as the Inside Job (2010 documentary) claims, is that this expert witness ecosystem is a conflict of interest for academic experts. If I am a real estate economist, and an investment bank wanted to hire me to testify that the mortgage-backed securities bubble wasn't the result of negligent behavior, wouldn't I be inclined to publish papers to that effect? Naturally I'd also leave my engagements with those banks off my CV.
> The 2 groups are talking past each other. For people using "SSR" definition (1), it's doesn't look "full circle" because a language like PHP was never in a runtime in browsers so there was never a client-side-to-server-side re-use of the rendering code.

Exactly. As a PHP guy I'm not thinking in terms of SSR or CSR, but backend and frontend. PHP never had to do things on the client side, that is what HTML and CSS are for (and some JS). JS apparently has to go from client side to now also server side.

I don't think it's necessary an advantage to have one and the same language doing both the backend and frontend. I also don't know of any disadvantages, I have no experience with JS frameworks.

But everybody is hitting some very interesting points in this whole comment thread. You have some smart remarks about talking past each other. And I also think your observation of PHP never having to run in the browser is a sharp observation. Thx.
Yep. Some of these are held by custodians and others in smart contracts, depending on the type of "wrapper"

The problem is we ought to follow certain principles when we incarcerate people. Provide evidence, prove it in court and allow the defendant to defend themselves against accusations. Otherwise we're in kangaroo-courts/Soviet show trial-land.

You do understand that proof of stake has absolutely nothing to do with transaction speed or fees -- speed depends on how many nodes you want to agree on any transaction (decentralization) while the fees depend on how congested the network gets in an open pricing model for fees?

While this is also possible, this is not what the statement was referring to
A data race occurs when two or more parallel processes access the same data and at least one of them is mutating it.

Safe Rust forbids this through ownership and move semantics along with lifetime analysis. You may create any number of immutable aliases to data, or exactly one mutable alias. You cannot mix the two.

Unsafe allows you to (kind of) sidestep the automatic checking, but its your responsibility to uphold those conditions.

First, don’t worry about it. Just change the zoning and then let people choose what they will. If what you say is true, the market won’t change a thing.

Second, price per square foot in cities is set by demand, and it is several times prices in suburbs. That behavior tells us there are people who would rather be downtown and we aren’t letting them.
I hope so, the way it's worded implies the opposite.
Of course those suburbanites love their hard won individualism, the point is, that this kind of life is built on externalities that make it unsustainable for the majority of people to live this way.

Yes, they could have multiple instances, go back and forth with each other. This strategy was used with various chess AI in order to help improve it.

However, to make it more human-like, I would think they would make some type of AI self reflection. So like we can talk and think out problems to ourselves, perhaps they would have the AI periodically practice questioning itself, when humans are not around or asking it questions, and do some form of self-analysis.

It would be a combination of:

* supply

* demand

The supply is well-known in advance, and is an advantage to Bitcoin. US M2 money supply grew 8.04% in the past year [0], while Bitcoin's grew ~1.75% [1].

Demand is very volatile, and suffers from the bandwagon effect (price increase -> buy, price decrease -> sell).

If there was one product where Mozilla could have really shined, it was Thunderbird. There's nothing like it in the FOSS world. Sadly they deprioritized it over Firefox resulting in the death of both.
Works great! That's three more than Chrome supports.

Plus, I'm at two now. Your post reminded me to check how many add-ons I actually have installed, and I realized that HTTPS Everywhere is no longer needed because Firefox itself rolled out an HTTPS-Only setting.
This looks good and has potential and all, but do we really need so many new web frameworks? Is all this effort spent on slightly improving the current tooling really worth? I think the web frameworks have had enough incremental changes, we should either stick to improving the current frameworks or creating ones that bring revolutionary, not incremental, changes.
As an aside, Thunderbird occupies that uncomfortable space of software that is libre, but seems so bloated and complex I don't want to install it, let alone work on it. I'm not sure if that perception is "accurate" (which of course depends on how you define things). But think of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. It's a huge, classically written C++ blob that is hard to check out hard to build and hard to contribute to. Yet, its very existence undermines the motivation to start something new.

Surely there is a space for minimalist office suites and email clients, written starting with a browser as a jumping off point, rather than a compiler? I guess I'm arguing for an Electron-based docs/sheets/email/calendar using modern software best practices, and great components. An email client should be a webview + sql-lite, no? And (for office docs) maybe with a more thoughtful file format, like a simple html subset. Does this exist? And if so where do I get it? (And maybe there are better "jumping off points", like VSCode, which is itself a specialization of Electron).
I only need 1: NoScript.

I hate what they've done with Mobile Firefox but it's still better than the alternatives.

The US is a very imperfect democracy, at best, but there are some red lines that, if you don't convince people first, will toast you immediately politically, and rapid tax increases related to automobiles or their operation are high on the list.
Even in those jurisdictions, taxes are still assessed in the local currency. Cryptocurrency is just a medium of exchange, so it has value in the same way that Visa the company has value.

You should call a securities lawyer and also the legal department of the pension, and threaten to sue. Whichever idiots have done this deserve to suffer some consequences — even if you sue and it gets tossed out, they will think twice before trying some sort of ridiculous nonsense like this again.

Pensions are extremely difficult to pitch for any sort of deal, even when it’s safe and makes sense. There is definitely some sort of back-channel relationship that led to this deal. You need to figure out how this happened, because there’s likely to be more of this sort of corrupt junk in your pension’s portfolio.

You should also question how economically benefiting from proof of stake mining has any place in any fund that purports to care about ESG (that applies to everyone!).
In the mid-90's Heineken and Becks were considered "fancy" beers. By the late 90's , microbreweries were starting to appear (at least in the Chicago-area where I was living).
It's really easy to make the states diverge this way. That's why the one-way binding is popular.

OTOH if there were a way to produce a two-way implementation from a one-way description, that could be great for performance. But this is already more CS than engineering.
Content ID is extremely sensitive to audio and vague video. Upload half an hour of white noise and you'll have at least three content ID strikes. Actual "songs" get stricken easily as well because someone uploaded their own rendition of a free song, uploaded it to YouTube, and now all renditions of the song are "theirs".

I agree that Pornhub should remove and block all related content but finding such content is not a solved problem. The article talks about small snippets being uploaded independently, you're never going to find those.

If proper contextual recognition was a solved problem we'd have self driving cars by now. It's very easy to overestimate image recognition technology. We're getting closer every day, but we're still far from an real AI.
Don't waste your time. There are so many statistical atrocities in this article that it makes me shiver.

That doesn't mean there's that much money in it.

I bought a glass jar of sand on vacation, for $5. That doesn't make the beach worth trillions based on how many $5 jars it could be made into, but that's how crypto market caps are calculated.
The funny thing to me is that the BTC promoters keep talking about the blockchain being used to pay for stuff, like the occasional Tesla, or bananas in third world countries. However, last time I checked, about 90% of transactions involving BTC happened off the blockchain. It happened in marketplaces where no actual crypto is transacted and it's all in the databases of these marketplaces. The value of BTC has nothing to do with the actual use of the Bitcoin Blockchain.

If anything, the ETH blockchain might have more value in the real world, since it's used to transact stupid monkey pictures and stuff like that.

I think an enormous percentage of people in their early and mid 20s are largely clueless about predatory business practices and how they can be impacted by them. Everyone is different, but I personally may have been more vulnerable to shady business people when I was 21 than when I was 18; I was still clueless but felt more like an adult and was less likely to seek the wisdom of my parents for certain decisions. Each case is unique, but I don not think this situation is similar to an age of consent for the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, etc.

Is it really a money loser? They get detailed information on your social relations, your daily routines, your shopping habits, where you enjoy your vices, etc. That's all useful in generating income in other contexts. It's short sighted to view it as a money loser.
Yes, we run iceberg and it’s pretty thorough
Exactly, thank you. Generally, wallets need to connect to nodes, and nodes are servers. People do not run their own nodes, they connect to existing ones.

Nobody wants to download the blockchain on a desktop, start up a node, write their keys in a note pad, and configure their phone’s wallet app to point to their new locally hosted node.

God help you if you didn’t even compile your node and wallet app yourself.

Anything less than that involves trust

At least with Fiat if someone running my local Chase Bank branch siphons money out of my account, I can trust that a guy with a shiny badge will walk over with a baton to beat them up.
LOL, but no.

What they probably mean is that they have a transaction that consumes $1000000 on their address and creates two outputs: $100 withdrawal for client A, and $999900 on a "change" output. Later withdrawals have to link to that change output (bitcoin is a directed acyclic graph of inputs-outputs). If that transaction is not confirmed, then later txs also cannot be confirmed and backlog grows.
On the devices page of the wiki, the PinePhone pro is in the "testing" list, which has this description:
"All other device ports, including new ones. Maintainers can create merge requests to move devices to community if requirements are met on the Device categorization page. A more detailed view with a full status matrix of these devices can be found on the All devices page"

The normal PinePhone is one of the main devices, so it seems that that one has way better support.

I co-authored an expert witness report once. We were paid about $500/hour. That wasn't out of line with what we normally charged clients but, it was actually quite a lucrative job for us given we charged for travel, research, etc. which were often at least partially unpaid time with our regular work.

It was a very interesting project but it made you appreciate why big lawsuits cost so much. I think our expert witness report cost about $100K from our side, but there was also about nine other complementary reports, all the time for the white shoe New York law firm, to say nothing of the creation of the boxes of depositions that we went through. The other side had about the same.

Oh, and the case never got to trial.

This probably means wBTC (wrapped BTC) which is a ERC20 token on the Ethereum Network. They seem to have a more-or-less 1:1 peg to BTC and they seem to be transparent about their holdings (https://wbtc.network/dashboard/audit) - there's a list of addresses that's verifiable on-chain.

If you need something a bit less esoteric and want a traditional, straightforward approach to building web apps with JavaScript: https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick.

Add an Express route -> tell it to render a component/HTML via a res.render() function -> it auto-hydrates everything on the client for you. Components are written in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (no JSX or other funky syntax) with a quick-to-grok API.

No new concepts to learn and keeps you as close to the core technology (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) as possible.
Why does no one take the time? Because they don't get paid for it. The root cause of almost everything is "I made more money that way". I remember reading that Feynman tried to work on an education board, but gave up because of corruption, lobbying and no one really caring about learning outcomes while prescribing books for kids..
Exactly. You can always ignore HN (or any other community discussing your creations) if you don't like what they have to say - much easier than making angry comments about them.

....hearing the same story you hear from 100% of unrepentant convicted felons.

I wouldn't put too much into dismissing such things. Have you seen the how the US locks folks up using fake "science", and then refusing to reverse the charges when evidence proves them innocent? Sure, not everyone is innocent, but enough folks are wrongfully convicted, it seems, that anyone saying this might just be telling the truth. We (Americans) should be more prudent when locking people up.

Considering this, yeah, I think the US has locked up innocent folks for years on end without trial. Sure, some are guilty, but probably not guilty enough for a decade or so of actual torture.

But what if I have the private keys to said deposit box?
Explanation:

1. There are no data members inside X, in this case the size of the structure is 1 byte.

2. main() does nothing.

3. *x = new X[100]() - this requests a new array of 100 elements of type X, at a stage before main() is called.

4. The new[] operator is overloaded in the class, this operator must return the address for the requested array. It returns the address of the empty string object plus 1.

5. For each of the 100 elements, the X() constructor is called, the "this" address for those elements will be the value returned by new[] plus an index from 0 to 99. The X() constructor converts this to a number from 1 to 100 by subtracting the address of the empty string. This is the only UB here, but it works in all major modern compilers since they combine the same strings into one instance.
First, there is abundant and solid evidence of Chinese violent oppression against Uigurs. Second, why do people (you) assert that awareness of human rights abuses in one country blinds people to abuses in another country? On the contrary, the more intolerable I find China's imprisonment of Uigurs and others, the more intolerable I find America's awful, useless wars and huge prison population. I don't get where you're coming from.
To say that state-backed currencies are equivalent to private currencies is to greatly misunderstand how things work in finance.

Traditional state-based currencies mostly exist because the government pays its obligations in that currency and also collects taxes in that currency. The state's population is forced to use that currency as a result for these behaviors.

This is the main difference between a state-backed currency and "private currencies."

This isn't to say that state-backed currencies can be a mess just like "private currencies." But these state-backed currencies fail with the governments based on balance of payments and debt and money printing, etc and it is very infrequent.
