Crypto is one of many solutions for this problem. I'm willing to argue that out of 10 possible solutions, the crypto solution is the worst of all. Simply because the law is the law, and crypto might make it harder to enforce the law, it doesn't _change_ the law. So even with your crypto solution, you still would owe money to the California Franchise Tax Board, whether you like or not.
Heavy industry does the same kind of thing, so it's not just bitcoin.

For example: heavy industry that's located in Mexico instead of U.S for environmental regulation reasons.
> and to be honest half the time I'm on a bicycle, touring, I'm in agony

Is your bike set up properly? That can make a world of a difference, if your bike is not perfectly set up for your body on a longer tour it can really hurt.
That's an interesting idea, but how does it work for functions of multiple arguments?

If functions are curried, then I suppose the syntax for `f x y` would be `y.(x.f)`, which maybe you could write as `y.x.f` if the associativity worked as such. But that means you have to provide your arguments in reverse order?

If functions are not curried, do you write `(x, y).f`?
Miners don't set the rates. They pick from existing transactions on the network to fit into limited space on the blockchain. For them picking the transactions with highest fees is rational in any case.

The best interpretation of your comment is that of course I support

The "natively parallel" claim is made because of features such as "do concurrent" and coarrays, which were added in the Fortran 2008 standard.

Have cycled from Northern Europe to South Africa, crossed Europe several times and also crossed US, New York to California. Best way to experience a country.

Don’t have time? Try to do a quick one and turn it into an adventure. One of my most exciting trips was going from Southern to Northern Europe in just a week.

I recommend to pack lightly, and don’t spend to much time planning on gear and routes - just do it otherwise you’ll risk to postpone it again and again.. just do it.
Talos Linux
You're absolutely right about the KMS requirement for kernel drivers being available and the social aspects of that; when I wrote the article I sort of blithely assumed they were, because they have been for a long time (even in limited form like noveau). But KMS certainly wouldn't have happened without open source drivers that could do enough to require being in the kernel, and that was a product of surprising openness on the part of vendors.

I think it's too strong to say UMS was just a mechanism to keep binary drivers out of the kernel. As far as I know, XFree86 was doing UMS from its beginnings in the early 1990s, which was well before graphics vendors were paying attention to Linux or other free Unixes. There were probably a whole host of reasons that XFree86 used UMS, including that it wanted to be portable across the free Unixes (and not need to coordinate releases with any of them).

Your simple theory can also be applied to stocks. Easy! I'm guessing you must be a multimillionaire by now. Strange that nobody else came up with this simple solution: buy low, sell high. Incredible!

And here I am, an idiot investing in index funds and HODLing crypto. What a fool I am!

Edit: Sorry for my dumb question, but is it buy or sell right now? And at what price point to I need to sell or buy in again? Thanks for the advice! I'm going to be a multimillionaire soon.
> I'd love to eat plants a lot. Just turns out they give me depression.(takes about 4 days after ingestion)

Eat a diverse low-fat, whole plant-based diet - if you don't how or what, find yourself a weekly vegan meal plan. Supplement with B12 and you'll be fine. Learn to cook, explore vegan meals/recipes from around the world, stay away from processed food.

> There is something called bio-availability and there are nutrients in meat that you don't ever get from plants.

That's a lie you've been told. Plants are enough (again, don't forget your B12 vegan supplements).

Transport, processing, retail & packaging is a miniscule part in CO2 production compared to land use change & farming.

My reply was not intended to be rude or provocative.

"We did this ages ago" is said so often, rudely and in ignorance, as it was here. And while there are often parallels to support the claim, the important distinctions are missed in ways that are best taught with hands on experience. Hence the suggestion to actually learn the new tools. If course, this is arguing in the internet with a curmudgeon, which I should not have bothered doing. I just don't want to see hn become slashdot, where this poo pooing of new tech happened in every thread.
One of the big puzzles for me is why the "original bitcoin" is keeping its value when there are so many innovations and gradual improvements in newer alternatives. For example what you mention, or when Zcash launched their perfect anonymity solution etc. I just didn't bet on bitcoin itself surviving.
I had the opportunity to compare all three (coal, electric and gas) at the same time, preparing the same meat. Not a single person in our group of ~10 could tell which energy supply had been used in the preparation. But you need a proper electric grill with a hood and ~2kW power. This also limits the size of the grill, so if you need to feed a group of 6 or larger, maybe focus on gas or coal over electric. Or maybe someone builds an electric bbq to connect to an EV charging station?
100% true. Awful elitism.

Miners can set a minimum transaction fee and hope people are desperate enough to pay it to be able to send their coins.
I have far less experience than you and I've definitely experienced drowning in runtime issues when working with a large project in a dynamic language.

On the other hand, though: have you worked with large, thoroughly tested projects in a dynamic language? Personally, I find that good tests catch 99% of the bugs that static types do, plus quite a lot of other bugs as well. Arguably, you ought to write tests anyway to find those other bugs. Since they also find your typos etc, you get to enjoy the ergonomics boost of dynamic typing almost for free.

That's my (also anecdotal) argument for doubting static types.
I understand that nitter serve a purpose. However, for OP who is trying to crawl high quality content such as blogs and news automatically, nitter is a nightmare.
Your reasoning is something like: problem unbanked people, solution crypto. I don't understand that reasoning at all. Why not look at solutions that have actually proven to work first? Why not investigate the problem and figure out what their needs actually are?
That's not really an opinion though. Facebook continues to ignore morality in it's chase to maximize profits.
(1.) Ok, as long as I understand what you mean.

(2.)-(4.) According to this page:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/electrici...

US electricity consumption is ~1/6.5 of global electricity use (and the ratio has probably dropped since 2017). So, 7% of electricity used in American homes is ~1.48% of total US electricity consumption, but only 0.23% of total consumption. Granted, TV is in wide use throughout the world, but not nearly as much as in the US, I believe. So instead of 6.5, let's divide by... say... 2.5 instead? That's about 0.5% of total consumption. Similar to crypto then :-)

A lot of people in this job just really hate learning anything, and would rather spend way more time spread out over months and years than just investing some time and learning how to use something new.

It seems like somehow some people get into this job by only learning tools that they can pick up without trouble over a weekend?

The concepts you need to deploy stuff on kubernetes really aren't that complicated. It's just a bunch of yaml documents in extremely-well-documented schemas. If you want to run a service with N instances, you just write a deployment with `replicas: N`.

There are a lot of details I'd choose slightly differently if I were designing my perfect ideal cluster orchestration system, but the whole point of open source is that everyone who wants to build a comprehensive cluster orchestration system can just get together and collectively build it once, so I don't have to design and own it all internally. It's got all the pieces to build exactly what I need to make good use of a ton of computers, in a simple, reliable, repeatable, consistent, standard way. It gives you trivial primitives to build HA fault-tolerant deployments.

There are very few good excuses left to ever have any reason to page anyone over "One server had a hardware failure".

It just baffles me that people can see this powerful, industrial-grade, comprehensive tool, and decide "Nah, that'll never be worth starting to learn".
Thank you for the very comprehensive answer. You're right - the team sold me on the idea by starting out with a low-latency requirement use case for which most of our code base was written in C++. We are almost 50% through with replacing our code base from C++ to Rust. What I can really appreciate are the significant improvements in code execution due to the aforementioned reasons.
Like any good nerd kid of the early 90s I read Discover magazine. Looking back I see that it was filled with breathless coverage of the discoveries of a decade ago, rehashes of 101-level science, and a few newsy articles about a current topic. There was always a little bit of red meat for people like dinosaur enthusiasts and space futurists. Many topics would get recycled a year or two later.

I guess my point is that science is large enough and has enough history that it doesn't need the 24 hour news cycle to be interesting. In the sense that what you already know is news to most people, you can stay interesting without getting a scoop.

I tried following ScienceDaily with an RSS feed a while back and it was just too much. A fire hose of articles and little organization.

One thing I wonder is why there isn't a resource like HN outside of this area. I suspect that people aren't doing as much writing to understand themselves in other fields, and at the same time, they are afraid to discuss preliminary results publicly.
This is so bizarre to me. I just recently cycled through Canada and the US and everywhere I went people (including sport/fitness cyclists) told me to watch out because cyclists get killed all the time... But in my thousands of miles of touring, the only time I felt a little worried about cars was in Louisiana where some of the roads are very narrow and there are railings along the side so there is nowhere to escape to if an inconsiderate driver comes too close. Took nerves of steel when cars zoomed past with just an inch or two of space. But the rest of the time I just cheerfully pedaled along the shoulder with my hi-vis vest on, only occasionally getting yelled at and coal-rolled by jackasses in pickup trucks. Most of the time drivers gave me plenty of space.

What was much, much more terrifying to me than cars was dogs. In certain parts of the country, people's dogs would charge out of the yard and chase me down the road for a half mile, barking and snapping all the way. I even got bitten once or twice. I'd definitely rate pet dogs as a bigger hazard than cars, or at least a scarier one. More dangerous than bears and coyotes too, in my experience.

My advice for cars is to wear hi-vis gear, ride in the shoulder whenever there is one, confidently take up a decent slice of the road when there isn't, keep an eye on your rear view mirror, pull over to let very wide trucks pass, and never ride main roads at night or in poor conditions.
>you are generally travelling along the old routes that connect all the places where life has been for millennia, the amount of history (in Europe at least), scenery and humanity you stumble across just in the course of a typical day covering maybe 50 miles is huge.

I wonder how long before we witness a super massive black hole collision. Either two meeting together, or one and a far smaller one.

I just gave you a bunch of examples of the politicians using the police to restrict or restrain the Indian people in some manner in contravention to constitutional principles over the past few decades.

Sure, India is not a fully authoritarian state, but the folks elected have always had such tendencies. The current government still has to contest elections (and still loses them at state level), but you wouldn’t deny they are authoritarian. And many state governments (controlled by different parties of different political persuasions, as I have listed above) display the same tendencies: authority exercised via coercion and arbitrary rules.

Democracy and authoritarianism are not opposites. They occupy a spectrum - democracies can display authoritarian characteristics and vice versa.
Two things:

1. Yes, healthcare was the only thing I could think of that would qualify for me personally. Pretty sure I've never seen a job like that in my area though.

2. Is "Andy" an actual concept outside the Ice Poseidon community? I wonder if people realize where it comes from and how toxic/racist it is. It basically started with Andy Milonakis being on Ice Poseidon's stream and then every non-white person who joined would be called stuff like Mexican Andy, Asian Andy etc.

> At some point Nvidia, the last interesting closed source holdout & throwback to a bygone era, will cave and open source their damn driver

I hope so but I don't think it's likely. It's all about money, and it seems like for them there's no benefit and only downsides, such as making it easier for other companies to sue over patent infringements, make it a little easier to clone "their" technologies, having to rearrange their development processes etc. (All of these things would be good for the world, my question is why it would be good for Nvidia.) Also I don't think they really feel any pain at the moment. They've got their shim.
>It is also a very cursed idea taken way too far, and I do not apologize for it

Agreed XD

It's a really nice idea but I cannot ever see myself writing bash like this
This isn't right. Your parent comment was right.

Mining a block is just brute-forcing until you find a SHA hash that is small enough. Your chances of successfully finding a small-enough hash are completely independent of everyone else. It's not some sort of race to find a block, and as soon as someone finds a block everyone has to start again. (Other than that they can't reuse the same transactions, and need to update the parent block pointer).

If I give you £100 every time you find a random number that satisfies some property, the amount of £100s you get is independent of how many other people are making money with the same scheme.

The only reason competition matters at all is because of the difficulty adjustment.
Thanks, Jack. Looks like you gave birth to your magical child after all.

> But science is different for sure and the journalism on it sucks because getting to the point where you even understand the problem might require years of preparation.

This is not at all unique to science; people tend to assume this about their own fields, not realising that it actually applies to most of them.
Very much the same here. I'm the maintainer of Outline (https://github.com/outline/outline) – which uses Nodemailer by the way, thanks! – and folks still push through all of the GitHub workflows that try and direct self hosting support tickets to the discussions board and post them as bugs instead . This is much more annoying and time consuming than the +1 comments which can largely be left without a direct response.

It's got about half of that combat troops, according to IISS Military Balance 2021, of which 400K are ground troops.

What they do however is rotate them very often. Reportedly they spend a week at a to,e on the battlefield, then they get rest for a week or two, etc.

This way their entire military gets actual combat experience, the troops are always fresh, and the moral is high. Same with equipment, regular maintenance, etc.

Which is basically why they are able to do the slow grind at the pace they want.

My comment wasn't really aimed at allocating any sort of blame or implying the rich should fix it.

Is it though? The fact that total wealth is increasing overall to me suggests it is an allocation issue rather than

That def is true for some areas, but not in aggregate I think.

Though frankly total wealth generated seems a little sus to me as well. How much of that is on paper?
A tride can be many things - a facebook group focused on certain topic, an NFT project I've noticed are very tribal in behaviour and form, a pirate ship would be probably considered such a tride.

A tride can have a leader, someone who leads it, or it can have a council - a group of people who are in charge of the tride. Back in the Roman and Greek days they'd have two kings - one military, and one political - I imagine trides experimenting with such systems to explore what works for each individual tridal organization.

I see human congregation as individual organisms who operates as a whole via the inidividual composing it, the same way a human body is an organism that operates thanks to the individual contribution of each and every organ.

How will this reflect in human trides? I hope to see many different and diverse trides that will explore the various ways of living and cooperating together. It's one of the primary things that draws us to computer games - we can create any kind of societies in them that we want to be part of, and I don't think we should just accept the few ways we have to do so today in the current cultural framework.

It may depend a little on where you are but generally on a cycle tour, where speed isn't such a priority, you don't tend to be taking the same bigger roads used by high speed cars or trucks (or may even be on routes largely separate from the roads). It can happen on occasion that you might want/need to go down a slightly busier road, in that case being a bit more of an odd road user (heavily loaded bicycle stands out) often you get a bit more consideration but a bit of road confidence certainly doesn't hurt.

I can't speak for everywhere but in Europe (where most of my experience is) I think you would be able to find plenty of routes without much traffic (checkout places like https://www.opencyclemap.org/ ) and ironically those routes would probably have much more to see on them than the routes that did have the cars and trucks on.
You can absolutely travel the same roads, but there is something about the speed you are travelling that opens you up to really noticing the little details of the landscape around you.
