Well, there is liability, safety, and practicality. I have no desire for a career change, but trying a forklift or city bus or train in a simulator is a fun afternoon. I don't think the city is gonna let me joyride in their equipment, anyways.

You can go over to r/powerwashingporn and see a lot of homeowners renting some equipment for an afternoon, but you don't want them going out to public land and cleaning whatever they want because they might just damage stuff with the wrong chemicals or techniques.

A resignation made under duress is invalid under Canon Law. Benedict was under a death threat and the SWIFT system had been shut down in Vatican City as an extra lever to exert pressure. The day after Benedict made an announcement about resignation the SWIFT system for the Vatican was turned back on. There is more than this but there is significant evidence that neither did Benedict resign of unencumbered free will nor did he intend to fully resign the office of the Vicar of Christ but that he intended to "enlarge the office" to be a two-person role having an active and a contemplative/passive member which isn't possible.

I just checked: only Moldova is left that's not in NATO and in place where Russians could march to (but they would need to get the western Ukraine first). Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia are all under NATO nukes protection; Sweden and Finland will join shortly. Are you sure Putin - and all the people around, at the same time! - are insane enough to risk eradication of all its cities?

Nuclear weapons changed the circumstances so much that direct comparison with 1938-1939 is impossible. We neither can give Slovakia away, nor have we a reason to. On the other hand, for Ukraine, swallowing the bitter pill and losing territory would also clear the way for NATO application (the civil war in the east makes it de iure impossible) and would give them time to prepare to defend from much better fortified positions, with much greater access to Western weaponry, and with much better contingency plans.

For the effort it would be easier to build one around the Earth. Double it up as a driveable highway, rail and electrical infrastructure (and then you can use solar power sold on a global market where one side is always in daylight).
Or train people to do research while in grad school. There are plenty of fields where people don't do post-docs before applying for faculty positions, e.g., all of the fields where there's no money for post-docs, and "hot" fields where people have better job prospects. I know two CS professors at a major research university, who went straight to faculty positions from their PhDs.

The current structure is a holding pattern for absorbing the large population of PhDs who can't get jobs.

I decided a few years ago to never buy a new laptop/computer again and reuse as much as possible, repair, and buy refurbished if necessary.

Maintaining a lean Linux distro for older generations of hardware is a great idea.
Bingo. A lot of people mistakenly conclude that Bitcoin's "fair value" must be 0 because it lacks an intrinsic value. But they fail to realize that fiat money also lacks an intrinsic value. Even gold to a large extent lacks an intrinsic value in the sense that its intrinsic value is a negligible fraction of its actual market value.
I'm curious what they will be able to hook up to one, and how it will be programmed - if you add a tiny amount of flash this could definitely be interesting, maybe have a dollar processor though.

The use cases for a student are more difficult to imagine - turn a light on an IO port is fun and somewhat education but you will need to do something more informative, like generate a coded signal, i.e. simulate an RFID chip (what I presume the commercial goal is here as well), but then vary based on some input(s)?

Its the same issue as with the current crop of low-cost computers - Raspberry Pi is great, but its most useful applications are due to its ethernet port and ability to drive a display, both of which drive up the price and board size.

> I realize I waste a lot of time in the supermarket comparing prices,

Interesting, I've always hated shopping for food, but I happily waste money on takeaways/restaurants. I think for me it is more about food waste and the mental energy wasted planning all my ingredients to make sure nothing goes to waste rather than saving money. I spend money now to not have to worry about it as much.

> I'm afraid to make investments fearing that the market crash or something like that would erase them leaving me vulnerable to being homeless or dependent on doing jobs I hate.

Yeah, I'm pretty risk averse when it comes to investments, which is screwing me right now with inflation as high as it is :(.

I gotta agree, I've started watching people play cities skylines because I like that game and it's just fun to see people who are willing to spend A LOT more time than me playing and modding taking the game to it's extremes. Another fun channel is the fellow, Josh? from "let's game it out" on youtube. He captures a type of play that I did when I was younger and spent all my time coloring outside the lines so to speak, in the game worlds.
My comment was to point out what I think was an incorrect characterization in these words:

> company's solution to a problem caused by the same company

The “company” needed a solution to a problem caused by bad actors in the network.

Whether or not a company’s solution causes someone else to have a problem is a different matter.
Where do they find these professors to give these statements? At the very least, ask when the professors were postdocs, were they happy with their salary and benefits?
This is always a problem when the economy is strong. Just wait for a recession next year and there will be long lines of people wanting to get into grad school.
Ask HN: When did you have with software the Aha moment?

I'm the "worse" type of developer - I'm working with test automation so salary is a bit lower than for "normal" devs. But what I've heard 60k EUR is what I can get (I was reading about Berlin - I've also read that e.g. Dresned has the same wages as I have now).
But this money will be for my whole family (wife is staying home with childrens right now and for some more time before they'll go to the kindergarten) so I also will need bigger appartment (=more expensive).
And after my rough calculations it turned out that our QoL will probably drop. Not that it will be _bad_ but visibly worse than it's now.
> This is patent nonsense. Every time a hypothesis is ruled out, and every time a hypothesis is ruled out with greater confidence, the experiment has succeeded.

The probem is, as far as I know, that there is an effectively infinite space of supersymmetry hypotheses. Ruling one of those out is pretty worthless success.
> despite the KDE developers saying it wasn't ready yet.

The KDE devs are the ones who decided to call the alpha version 4.0 so I wouldn't put all the blame on the distros here.

I think the problem with KDE 4 was not just but also experimental technologies like Nepomuk (desktop search is great in theory, but an EU research project is probably not the best fit for a production DE), Akonadi (yay let's run a MySQL server on each desktop), Plasma widgets (if you thought one widget set was enough for a DE you thought wrong apparently) and Activities that just didn't provide enough value for the overhead and change that they forced onto the whole system. A more straightforward Qt4 upgrade of KDE 3 would not have been nearly as problematic.
> This is the weakness in your argument. Not all of science is interesting to the private sector.

That's actually a really bad analysis and entirely misses the point.

Fundamentally (in the US) too many postdocs are being funded from a fixed grant pool NIH/NSF/etc. has to offer. Too many professors think their research is so much more important than anything else they hire postdocs for peanuts. Too few postdocs have a career path because so few faculty positions are available after completing their postdoc.

Yes, not all science is interesting to the private sector. But that doesn't mean that publicly-funded science has to proceed at its current rate with its unsustainable model of employing postdoctoral slaves.
I do believe that's precisely what it says: science adopts a new paradigm with a comprehensive view which predicts most cases, at some point the threshold is reached through normal science where a model falls apart, failing to predict given effects, and probity for answers surrounding that requires new tools (or techniques), which are developed to study the "unpredicted" effects mentioned above and a more comprehensive understanding is developed. At this point there may be a challenge to the paradigm, which yes, may be overturned upon favorable comportment.

See phlogiston. If we fairly assume that measurements are multidimensional and thus techniques to observe new dimensions can be conferred to have increased resolution...

But I'd absolutely concede that I may have misread. But I do believe Kuhn was fairly explicit in detailing this process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

> sky is not falling it's probably just going back to a more sane price

Prices per se are almost never meaningful.

Most crypto purchases are underwater [1]. (This is almost always true when something traded grows in value and buyers before crashing.) Many participants are leveraged. Financially, or operationally due to the cost of their mining rigs and long-term energy contracts.

There are also vagaries specific to PoW. For example, a steep enough decline between difficulty adjustments could make mining fundamentally unprofitable, which has its own suite of knock-on effects.

I worked manual labor jobs of varying types for the first ten years I was a part of the work force and I experienced many types of suffering during such work, including being driven so hard I passed out and almost losing my foot to a stump grinder. I couldn't get my boot off because my foot was so swollen. Farming is inherently dignified and noble. The problem with picking strawberries is the corruption that would drive the strawberry pickers to pick as much as possible at any cost.
> Not that i think we should, but then why do we regularly bail out other industries that continuously undermine regulation?

1. First and foremost: because George Bush was forced. The Republicans are famously against interfering with the free market, so George Bush let the first couple of banks fail, and fail, and fail... by the time Bear Stearns failed, there were already many bank failures and George Bush still didn't bail them out.

2. The big failures, specifically: Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, had a big effect on the economy. Remember, George Bush _LET_ these banks fail, he wanted to be hands-off. The collapse of these two banks set of a large set of cascading bank failures that had an outsized effect on the "normal people's economy" of main street. George Bush started getting random phone calls from factories who "suddenly couldn't meet payroll", because their banks failed. It became obvious that bank-failures would lead to factory closures.

3. It was at this point, that George Bush took the unprecedented step to start saving banks. It was clear that the country couldn't take another $200+ Billion bank failure. Congress passed TARP and that was it. The banks were saved.

-------------

Everyone agreed that saving the banks was allowing "moral hazard" to take place. But as what was discussed at the time, banks of that size are "too big too fail". If we, as a country, "let them fail", then random parts of the country / random parts of the economy blow up, in ways we don't understand.

It was easier to understand / fix the issues through a bailout, rather than randomly seeing thousands of people get fired at effectively random, as factories close.

Over the next few years, the plan was to reduce the "too big to fail" effect. As the US Economy was setting up new regulations to prevent "too big to fail", cryptocoins started up, and decided to recreate the too-big-to-fail problem all on their own.

------

In 2008, we were too dumb and ignorant to see "too big too fail". But in 2022, we remember the issue. With any luck, our banking system is properly containerized and safe. No bailouts should be necessary to save our economy.
SRv6 is not going to transform the quality of experience/quality of service that you see from Internet applications. Traffic engineering technologies like this (MPLS-based, IP-based, emulated circuit based...) are used inside networks to select paths through them, this has been done for many years, and the segment routing data-plane - whether it be MPLS or IPv6, is a different realisation of how to achieve that path selection through a network. There are networks that have done this traffic engineering using IP encapsulation for many years.

The whole "IP 2.0" presumption that appears to be being made here is that suddenly some external traffic source will be able to select a route through someone else's network -- but this just isn't the commercial reality. Some more performant paths are going to have costs associated with them (even if it's just to build more capacity), so there is going to be a cost of choosing that route through the network. That cost is going to need to be covered somewhere - so you are very unlikely to actually be able to get to choosing a path without some commercial contract. Guess what? We've already had those -- they just tend to use the DSCP bits to indicate what the traffic class, and hence associated requested SLO is - not an explicitly chosen path.

Equally, let's think about how this would even work - if you are going to choose a path through the network to get better QoS, you're going to need to know something about what IDs to use, which implies knowledge of the topology. Inter-domain topology exposure is going to /significantly/ increase the complexity and fragility of inter-domain routing -- there are reasons that we don't run a global link-state protocol :-)

In conclusion - I think this is hype with little technical justification, and is unlikely to have any different impact than other intra-domain traffic engineering that the industry has been running for many years.
the latter is you didn't really start it.

That seems unfair. By the time many people get started on their dissertation they have often done years of research and have gotten several papers published. Starting your dissertation basically means that you're 'done' with your PhD and ready to summerize what you've discovered.

>Someone should build an app where women have to create an “application” form, and men have to fill it out. If women are the choosy ones, let them be upfront with their choosiness and adjust the level of friction that men have to go through to contact them.

No need for a form. Women subconsciously select a partner for the ability to produce healthy and successful offspring and taking care of them and her.
> No university class teaches modern compilers

Yeah... hence why you need a PhD. 90% of domain knowledge in this field isn't even written down - you have to sit down with a wide range of people to learn from them - which you get to do on a PhD.

> Many major companies that maintain programming languages do not require PhDs in order to work on their compiler teams

They don't require it... but look at who's actually there and how many of them in practice have a PhD.

> if you are biased towards people with PhDs and preexisting experience for junior hires

As I've said elsewhere I've taken on people with no high-school diploma and zero experience in the past - I'm not personally gatekeeping.
Also an unlikely party to pay out should you win.
I can't remember the last time I worked somewhere where nobody wrote down anything. Sure sometimes not enough and sometimes too much. But in general people write down specs in, stories, tasks, pitches, presentations, wireframe, slick UIs etc. Even for my own play projects I generally start out with an outline of some sorts.

but total spec upfront brings back bad memories from the waterfall world. But I have also had discussions with folks who thought that agile means not specs/documentation at all

Serious question: is it really? I always thought that crypto was specifically not rated as a financial asset and thus didn’t have nearly as strict regulation as other financial products.

For example what is the difference between 1% daily returns vs some cleaning product claiming it can remove all stains? I always assume both to be marketing lies. And I assume in both cases there is some fine print T&C that denies legal liability/contextualises claims.

I might be totally incorrect here but this is always how I saw crypto, unregulated, buy at your own risk, marketed products.
Their benevolence aside, do you believe all assholes deserve to be killed? And what about the more problematic, all assholes deserve to suffer?

I think it's difficult to untangle their benevolence from their self-protection. But I did see several signs of curiosity and inter-species care between cows.

You also have to consider that we're the assholes :)

(Note: In that case, no, I don't think we should be killed, just improve)
Yeah it's just the way it is. And relationships, and marriage, is an economic union more than anything else, and the main goal is to gather enough cold hard economic value to provide for children, and each other.

> It's not like people are putting dollar values on their dating prospects, from what I've seen.

People (women) are putting dollar values on their dating prospects, from what I've seen, and I don't blame them, it is important. Sure it's not everything, but love is hardly a mystical force completely detached from economy.
