It looks like Celsius is illiquid (not insolvent). Yes, they still offer 16.8% yield on SNX (a high-inflation one) if you earn in CEL token but demand for SNX yield on Celsius is so low that I don't see a problem with any of that. They acquired the leading custodial service (GK8) some time ago so funds are safu IMO.

Their current illiquidity crisis is due to them having to loan/stake coins to generate yield.
Celsius also doesn't have lockdown periods which makes risk management very tricky. Plus, they have zero-fee trading.

I can see Celsius becoming _the_ one-stop shop for novices once they release the card and on/off-ramp services.

This is not an ideal situation, but is perfectly acceptable when you consider where the yield comes from.

if you can't realistically use crypto as money (which you can't), then there is no reason to hold it unless it is rising

crypto does not generate revenue

crypto does not generate dividends

crypto is only something you try to sell to a bigger fool

if crypto even just goes sideways....then its just a cash-equivalent with no real-world utility

these pyramid schemes have a long way to fall still...crypto will be the greatest ponzi scheme of the last 100 years

This kind of situation actually does occur, and you can then use the knowledge that the solution is unique to conclude that neither alternative (WORDS+AMPLE or WORD+SAMPLE) can be part of the correct solution.

I'd argue you were just fooled by them. Repetition, diligence and impression management can create quite the charming facade behind which not a single critical and original thought can be found.
Yeah, i guess the tooling around it got way better. No need to download scripts from hundreds of websites. Just npm install and off you go.

I'm just not a huge fan of SPA in most cases. I had to commute a few years ago everyday and it was near impossible to read any news website, because their stupid React or Angular SPA toy just decided to stop loading. Mobile reception isn't that great in Germany, when you're sitting in a train. The weirdest thing was to watch the content load and then like 10 seconds later going blank, because the connection timed out.

Ante-litteram I've made the very same system for myself: a small p.v. with 8kWh LiFeP BYD storage to have:

- AC coupled solar inverter functioning in case of an outage

- battery backup for critical loads (fridge, freezer, VMC, lights, computers) in the same case when there is no Sun shining

- a small generator to recharge in case of emergency

I feel the pain of a totally non-integrated IoT where devices can be barely commanded via ModBUS and only some can be monitored via ModBUS or MQTT, crappy flexibility and overall design etc... No vehicle-to-home integration so far (while a monodirectional to recharge an EV from p.v. depending on current availability is on sale from my battery inverter vendor) and an uncertain possible future expansion due to the crappy design EVEN if I choose "the most flexible and open solution on the market" (that's not their advertisement, that's what I've read in various forum) a Duch-centered brand with a light blue colored theme...

I still wait for:

- a damn open and common protocol to pilot IoT devices

- a damn realist design, witch means knowing how "a complete home" can be instead of try selling self-contained walled gardens crap

I doubt without public research that happen soon...
This greatly downplays both the amount information and the complexity involved. Their first destination was Moscow, Russia, where Cyrillic is used. Their second destination Georgia, where a different script is used [0], and then Armenia, where a third one is used [1]. At the time, none of those had a "standard" way to write them in English, so even if you slightly misremember a name or an address, you will have a very hard time figuring out where you actually wanted to go. On top of that, they also wanted to smuggle information out: names of people who wanted to leave the USSR, updates from dissidents, etc. Add to all of this that you would be under constant stress and surveillance and you wouldn't want to rely on your memory for all of this information. In the USSR, if you had a tail it was often very obvious you had a tail — it was a part of the intimidation tactics to put people under pressure and make them make mistakes. Of course, a paper trail of any kind is risky, but past a certain point you simply can't juggle everything in your head.

> It's doable, but it's also the most time consuming and impractical way of transportation, compared to the other options, so therefor it's bad.

My connection to the center of Stockholm takes 45-60 minutes counting the time to-from stations, I bike the same distance in about 40-45 minutes. I get some exercise, I get to bike to any street I want to in more-or-less the same amount of time. It's bad for you, so just swallow that as a personal opinion but don't come with sweeping statements that "it's therefore bad", this is totally subjective to one's level of discomfort and/or laziness.

I prefer the bike than the great public transportation here for any trip where I won't be carrying more than what my cargo backpack can carry.

I don't agree with the logic of your statement ("it's not perfect for me so therefore bad"), also coming after biking infrastructure is a very weird hill to die on...

The job marked for B.Sc.'s is actually quite small in Denmark. Everybody takes a master.
We are not in a planned economy, we don't need a 10-year plan for building national supply chains. We have to make sure our electricity infrastructure can cope, everything else can be left up to the market. After all the investment to build a fast charger is easy if you have a guarantee that the number of customers will increase dramatically.
This has been "coming soon" for years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser), but "whoops we lasered someone's eye" is a fairly hefty obstacle.

> consumers still expect their cars to last 10+ years

Much longer than that. I'm in my mid 20s in the UK, and I only know one person who drives a car that's less than a decade old, and she leases it. Everyone else has cars 1995-2011. Mine is a 2010 fiesta which I bought last year.

The used car market is huge here.
Yes but ICE cars will get more and more expensive to operate as the infrastructure (repair shops and gas stations) disappear, and EU cities will totally ban them (they already start to restrict them).

All in all, in the EU you are quite pushed to get rid of your ICE car. I see this as a very good thing.
More panels don't help if you can't store it.

Well, I suppose if you have enough panels to generate power even on short, cloudy winter days, then that doesn't matter anymore; then you just need enough storage for the night. But then what are you going to do with all the surplus power on sunny summer days?

Some sort of cheap long term storage would really help a lot.

There is no reason for such comparison: the point of a small battery is ensure 24h full autonomy for critical loads (fridge, freezer, VMC if it's a new home, lights, computers etc. Batteries are NOT cheap so choosing to limit what's backed up is reasonable.

After, for far bigger backups, a vehicle might be a gamechanger: it need anyway a far bigger battery for it's own performance, so battery costs does not matter much for the use-case and using it once you own the battery...
Which is another feedback loop, high cost, shrinking demand, shrinking supply, rising cost.

Also oil has high fixed costs. Stations, tanker trucks, refineries. Fewer customers carrying them means they rise as a percentage of purchase price.

I've said it and I'll say it again. Stablecoins are a scam.

Their issuers are centralized, and are supposed to be holding fiat for users, propping up the peg when worse comes to worst.

But they can't resist the temptation of making the fractional reserve a bit too "fractional". And there is no way of auditing those reserves.

Ah I see. There's not much to be done then, because I can guarantee that with the ~140k followers foone has on twitter and the number of people who submit on HN there's no way short of HN blocking URLs (which IMO won't happen) that would resolve this, except if foone individually blocks the bots as they show up?

Maybe this just comes with the territory of being popular on twitter :(

Just a little heads-up though, foone indicated their pronouns as "they/them" on Twitter.
> how big is your org?

My last team was the same, there was ~100 developers on the main app, ~50 on the ancillary services, and a ballpark of ~10 on the "platform". I was just a team member on that team. Current org is 15 devs, 30 people total.

> My concern is that there is a cost to magic of adding deps like that.

Of course there is, there's such thing as a free lunch. It's up to you to decide which is right for your team/org. The cost of doing it manually is developer time, tech debt and the bus factor. The cost of using helm is introducing an abstraction. Profesionally, the bus factor and developer time of home rolling a solution make relying on existing solutions a very appealing proposition. Having to maintain a set of half baked shell scripts is exactly what tools exist to solve, and I've had more issues with deployments where someone has bunged together a bash script that makes varios assumptions about tooling, versions, installation paths, working directories, path formats, etc. than I have with problems related to our actual deployment infrastructure.

> I guess my question is at what org scale the tradeoffs are right

The cost of switching is huge, and likely not worth it unless you have genuine problems that would be solved by moving. For a greenfield project, frankly I'd think you're wrong to use docker-compose on any new project. Either you're managing the underlying infrastructure (ec2/vps style) or you're not (fargate/DO App Platform style), and in either case docker compose requires roughly the same amount of investment for a smaller return on a less actively developed product objectively solves less problems and requires more work to integrate.

You should be able to know what you’re putting in your body. I’m not enthusiastic about your likely life trajectory if you want to or are compelled to put heroin in your body, and i want you to be able to get the help you need to stop.

Yay, let's talk about FizzBuzz!

This is the fastest PHP version I could come up with so far:

<?php

ob_start(null, 32000);

$a = [0, 1, 'fizz', 3, 'buzz', 'fizz',
6, 7, 'fizz', 'buzz', 10, 'fizz',
12, 13, 'fizzbuzz', ''];

for ($i = 1; $i < PHP_INT_MAX-15; $i+=15) {
$a[0] = $i;
$a[1] = $i+1;
$a[3] = $i+3;
$a[6] = $i+6;
$a[7] = $i+7;
$a[10] = $i+10;
$a[12] = $i+12;
$a[13] = $i+13;
echo join("\n", $a);
}

I'm sure there still are ways to make it faster. But I fail to think of them. Except for unrolling multiple loops into one. But that is so ugly. Any ideas of elegant ways to make it faster?

Testing the performance like this:

php fizzbuzz.php | pv > /dev/null

215MiB/s on my slowish laptop.

The "yes" command gives me about 10x the throughoutput:

yes fizz | pv > /dev/null

3.04GiB/s

Shows how much wiggle room there still is!

I also wrote a python version of it, but it performs 10x slower:

a = [0, 1, 'fizz', 3, 'buzz', 'fizz',
6, 7, 'fizz', 'buzz', 10, 'fizz',
12, 13, 'fizzbuzz'];

for i in range(1,1000000000,15):
a[0] = i;
a[1] = i+1;
a[3] = i+3;
a[6] = i+6;
a[7] = i+7;
a[10] = i+10;
a[12] = i+12;
a[13] = i+13;
print("\n".join([str(x) for x in a]));

Maybe the bottleneck is the loop that converts the integers to strings? Maybe someone with Python knowledge can comment on how to approach this in Python!
There's no reason it even has to be something they're going to "with their AI". He's publicly quite upset with Google's labor practices and the way the AI ethics team is run (IMO, reasonably so).

One reasonable (but absolutely 10th-dimensional-chess-level speculative!) read on the situation is that he's torpedoing the entire AI division because he believes its management is dangerously bad and that e.g. this is the easiest way to prevent more the realistic and obvious harms of real, non-AGI AI systems which Google also seems unconcerned with.
I feel like many public transit systems in the US are designed as radial lines from a city center (constant theta, varying r) and relatively few axial/circular routes (constant r, varying theta).

Car routes (and placement of shops and offices) take advantage of the random route ability of cars to specifically avoid the downtown congestion, enshrining the “quick and convenient to drive from one suburb to the neighboring suburb, but incredibly painful to use public transit for that trip”.

Buses suffer a time penalty naturally along their route, but if you add a “take a bus in a direction you don’t want to go, change buses, take that bus back-tracking the wasted motion, and only then get closer to your destination”, it’s pretty much bound to suck.

In Japan and Europe, I’ve seen more axial service lines and/or more of a mesh covering the areas rather than a bicycle spokes looking transit map.
Not only that but Bitcoin fell over 23.5% over the last 7 days.
> ...but biking is still popular, even in wind, rain and cold...

The frame of the comment is quite vulnerable to survival biases though - if the transport has taken a step back from cars then the people who stopped travelling will not be visually observable.

Although I do think car-first cities are a plague and it'd be better not to have them.

They won't be easy to flip, because they have a low centre of gravity.
It's pretty amazing watching crypto speedrun the last 200 years of financial history failures all over again.
My takeaway was:

1) Beating the market is much more difficult than mainstream information would lead you to believe. I've been investing my money for over thirty years and couldn't agree more.

2) Matching the market is as simple as purchasing a total market index fund. Collins suggests Vanguard Total Market Index Fund (VTSAX). But that isn't available everywhere, so in my 401K I had to find the closest thing. I switched over to this about five years ago and spend almost no time thinking about it.

3) If total market exposure is too risky for ones tolerance or circumstance (I am creeping up on retirement), Collins recommends mixing in a percentage Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund (VBLTX).

4) Concerned about international diversification, Collins explains that is already covered through the larger US companies investing in overseas as part of their business. This comes with an advantage of a filter for the currency exchange, and the kinds of unpredictable business practices you don't expect as a US investor.

5) I have no conflict of interest in this book. I share it with anybody interested and most new grads I meet. In my experience it is sound advice for anybody that isn't investing as a profession. Even then... well, I'll let Collins describe it.

6) Lastly, this seems to be an accepted philosophy of the FIRE community. FIRE is another strategy I wish I'd had known about 30 years ago.

Hope this helps

It's just that stating "God created the universe." immediately leads to the question "Who created God?". And if you answer "God always was.", then you can also say "The Universe always was." (And 'it bounces between expansion/contraction' or 'new Big Bangs occur inside this Universe al ultra low probability according to Quantum Mechanics', or whatever.)

In any case, saying "The Universe always was." or "Time did not exist before the Universe so 'before' is only a term that makes sense inside the Universe, after its creation, and we cannot fathom what is beyond these limits.", is a more satisfying stance for looking at the Universe than first requiring a seemingly infinitely complex being that then created this universe to look like the being is not even required, according to Occam's razor. And it leaves some nice things to be discovered for us too.

I mean, why would I imagine a god building the Himalayas when I have plate tectonics to explain it? Plate tectonics explain it well, and it explains other phenomena, and we can experimentally verify the process. The god hypothesis just leads to infinity more questions, and as such is scientifically unsatisfying.

The god hypothesis generates a huge amount of un-testable hypotheses and suggests that we can simply give up our search for explanations whenever we can use god to explain things. Religion as such demotivates scientific inquiry, and I think it is not far fetched to assume that that was its original intention. Just read some Yuval Noah Harari, we began the scientific revolution when we no longer accepted what the priests told us.

In short, we indeed have no need for the god hypothesis. At least we never have so far, it has never been the simplest explanation for phenomena. God is simply placed into gaps in our knowledge until we fill the gaps (and answer questions), like: "Why lightning?" or "An Eye can never evolve [is irreducibly complex]." or "Why is earth at the center of the universe?". I therefor prefer to extrapolate the solved to the unsolved and believe that questions like "What is consciousness exactly?" and "Can a machine be conscious as we can be?" will also be answerable without invoking any god.
If an interviewer had a "hard talk" about anything during an interview, i'd have an immediate hard walk.
It is not too rushed, we are only talking about new cars. It means you can buy an ICE car in 2034 and use it for another 12+ years (so nearly 2050 to drive without too much problems with an ICE car).

And we are talking, cars, not small buses, etc. You know that it will not have fundamental effects on the current trends if you look at the stocks of Shell, TotalEnergies, BP. They were basically not affected by the vote.
Why would you even want to constrain the solution if there is more than one? Why not just allow any solution that fills the tower?

If you come up with a feature or UI mechanism for an app, is there a way to check somewhere if it might already be patented?
