Credit cards wouldn't need such stringent "protection" and surveilance if they were secure and dependable in the first place.

Of course cryptocurrencies do not have such regulations. the purpose of cryptocurrency is to facilitate exchange with untrusted parties.

> If you'd actually read up on cryptocurrency wallets before commenting, you might have found there are multiple solutions for this out already, including one of the most popular Ethereum wallets called Argent, which let's you set limits.

You're making a great example of the victim-blaming I mentioned in my comment: That anyone who is surprised by their money disappearing clearly just didn't do all of the right research and use the right wallets and set all the right options to set the right limits and so on and so on.

Obviously there are right ways to navigate the crypto space and not get burned, but the issue is that the crypto community seems to think it's okay that everything is complicated and prone to new users making mistakes that people are routinely losing huge amounts of money due to not being 100% up to date on the right way to do everything.

> The way you can prevent it on smart contract platforms is simply holding the funds in a smart contract that allows users to set restrictions so that they couldn't take that expensive NFT even if the user mindlessly clicks on a fishing link, connects the wallet and approves the transaction without checking what it is.

Yep, sounds easy. To avoid losing everything you just have to set up a smart contract and then...

I can't believe this stuff passes for reasonable suggestions in the crypto world.
Can you please explain to me which of my comments were unsubstantive, and why?

> So why has the nuclear power industry not solved the issues

The technical issues are solved.

The political issue is that the "green lobby" will not accept any nuclear waste storage solution.
We thought about that but the rate jumps + California prices quickly put things out of reach.
I’d probably blame the victim if they kept their USD as 1 dollar bills scotch taped to the outside of their clothing though.

I think it’s the nature of crypto that part of the benefit comes from the cost of it being up to the individual to maintain. Selling a product/service that consumes crypto or holds it easily might be the answer (like a bank is to usd), now the individual is giving up the keys though.

There’s a trade-off there that is very cool because it only exists because bitcoin adds the option of more reliably securing the money “all by yourself” rather than needing a bank due to physical limitations.

In that sense there are many crypto holders out there that may wish they had just kept it on Coinbase…

TLDR the cost of having it be serious to use crypto is well worth it for the power and value of crypto itself, it’s like the cost otherwise paid to run a bank, put into a different form, the average economy of carelessness
I think there are two types of documentation, one is for internal use by developers to build locally and maintain the internals of the system, and another is external/client facing documentation providing insights into how to call into the APIs and details about the APIs. I'll defer on external documentation as that can be broken up even further with publicly external (open to public), and internally external (document open to everyone within the org regardless of team). For external facing documentation, the most painful experience is when docs are outdated.

For internal documentation, the most memorable/painful instances I've encountered has been that the code is overly complex and I would have liked documentation to help me understand why we have so many parameters and configurations and their impact. I believe having more explicitly defined methods help reduce ambiguity within the code. I've seen many examples of methods or objects where the goal is avoid as much repeated code as possible which create these burdensome solutions, so it drives the responsibility on the clients and developers to understand how to configure the input to get the desired behavior. Often times, we don't need the multiple layers of abstraction or configuration just to consolidate everything into a method, I think it's fine to have multiple methods with explicit use cases. That helps developers read the code easier, understand what is happening, and is less mentally challenging. In my opinion, making the code easier to read will help reduce the need for extensive internal documentation besides the required onboarding, dev setup, and overall architecture designs.
but you have potential to make a lot too, very risky but it's there
The author made an error of judgement of not abandoning his investigation to go to Best Coast Burrito in Emeryville.
The crypto space isn't rediscovering anything. Speculative investors and other noobs are discovering cryptocurrency for the first time.
Excellent point. Spectrum for 2G is just the start. There's also several layers of backend services needed to keep 2G working and interoperable with modern voice networks. AIUI GSM's encryption is also relatively easy to break today. So 2G service is not only wasteful but a gigantic security hole.
A ton of people here also could have piled onto Apple and Microsoft back in the 90s, and have unfathomable wealth today, but they do not vilify those stocks, nor the people who said to invest in them.

I may have missed something, but what I saw I thought was accurate.

Is it in dispute that it takes time for the sound to reach you?

Is it in dispute that you can discern the direction from which a sound came?

Is it in dispute that the aircraft has moved during the time it takes for the sound to reach you?

Is in dispute that the sound emitted in the instant of time the aircraft is in position A will not reach you until the aircraft is in position A+k?

Is it in dispute that there are realistic velocity vectors for which the direction of sound from position A is perceivably distinct from the visually observed position A+k?

What if you imagine instead a boat traveling parallel to the shore on which you stand. Has the boat moved perceptibly from position A by the time the wavefront of the wake generated at position a reaches you?

How about this visual simulation of a moving sound source? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StXXPkCMREU

Or how about this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g6uJTsJ9CE

Do you notice the sound waves are not concentric?
Jansky had earned a BS, most of an MS when, 27 years old and working for Bell, he discovered radio signals that repeated on a cycle of 23 hours and 56 minutes coming from the Milky Way.

"Jansky wanted to further investigate the Milky Way radio waves after 1935 (he called the radiation "Star Noise" in his 1936 Masters thesis of the same name); but he found little support from either astronomers, for whom it was completely foreign, or Bell Labs...." (Wikipedia)

It would be great if you could let everyone know (here, or as a later Tell HN) which alternatives you're considering.

> A tennis ball mass black hole going close to the speed of light would go right through the Earth without too much fuss. The black hole's radius would be too small (smaller than an electron) to cause any damage.

How would such black holes exist in the first place? I thought black holes are formed if the mass of the star is at least 3 times the mass of our Sun.
Other than the sleep part, an awful lot of "survival" genre games work that way. Like ARK Survival Evolved, for instance.

Honestly they do become a chore, because your character is constantly weakening and you die a lot. As you advance in the clothes and tech you can build, you stay alive longer.

But it absolutely is work. You need to harvest X to build Y, so you can unlock the ability to build Z, and then you need to find half a dozen As, Bs and Cs before you can do D, and D takes your character some time in game ...

They become very absorbing and huge time-sinks. What's notable for me is that when you turn the difficulty down, either by reducing the resources needed to build, or reducing time constraints on activities, there's just not much game left there.

>users don't care about libre software.

correction, SOME users don't care about libre software. I know I didn't for a long time. As my concern grows about the unsustainable consumption we take for granted, and its deep environmental and social impact, libre software has been getting more and more important in my life. A ten year old desktop PC can meet all my computing needs - but it seems that's only true when it's running software that was developed at least partially separated from profit motives.
The majority of programmers work outside of the personal data collection and or clicking on ads sides of things. Advertising supported businesses are a fairly trivial slice of the economy, as should be obvious because it’s ultimately dependent on advertising spend from other companies.
That makes sense. It kind of seems like the new program will be sort of a mish-mash of ChE, systems eng, and ECE (i.e. what it takes to actually run a fab).

In fairness, I think overall there are no curricula specifically about how to run a factory. Most engineering degrees focus on design and theory rather than industrialization. For example, there are no classes on how to run datacenters for computer science majors.

I don't get it. Wouldn't it take years for a far supernova to be detected? How is it only hours?
It depends on the site of course.

It is easy to create a site that asks you to provide your wallet private phrase. The DNS MyEtherWallet hack that I vaguely recall exploited this.

On the other hand, good crypto citizens will just use the web3 library that will request permissions on an ad-hoc basis from your wallet extension (such as MetaMask).

However even then you can scam someone using social engineering: Just tell them "how" to do XYZ. E.g. "To get your free mini-monkey NFT, just connect your wallet with your bored ape, and when the confirm box pops up from metamask just click OK".

The fiat equivalent of course is a site that asks you to log into paypal and send them $1000 - but that is way more obvious than the crypto equivalent, where you interact with a smart contract and it isn't necessary clear ahead of time what will happen. Especially as smart contracts might be used for, for example user registration. If the user registration endpoint asks for money then you could get scammed that way.

My suspicion is that you are blocked because you demand perfection in every aspect from yourself? You should be able to achieve excellent writing in more technical areas, or in niche topics.

You will likely struggle to write poetically in English. Perhaps instead encourage skills that are not specific to English: good metaphors, writing simply and clearly, choosing an interesting topic.

I suggest you keep an eye out for compelling writing that is written by people that do not have English as a first language, and see if you can recognise their tricks. And remember: if you write then you are a writer. Just write. The best writers usually wish their writing were better, and can see all the flaws in their work.
I agree with you, I just don't think this is possible with any kind of documentation in the classic sense:

We eventually straightened things out enough that the product ran on its own, but when I left there were plans on the backburner to replace it. Not sure how the financials worked out there in the end!
The same strategy as if a massive star was on a collision course with earth. Namely, kiss your butt goodbye. But it's not likely to happen.

There's nothing magically destructive about a black hole. The free-floating ones in our galaxy have masses comparable to stars, and they have exactly the same gravitational effects as stars. If we found one within a few light-years of Earth, the only effect on us would be a bunch of ecstatic astronomers. The rest of us would (or rather, should) just call it Tuesday.

All of these scams, crashes, and exploits are things that happens previously with regular currencies and have since been regulated away. Now crypto comes in with unregulated currency and runs in to every issue the regulations existed to prevent.
This attitude ("nightmare") is backwards. What is this clinging to sunk costs of money and career time? The point is not for scientists to figure out how to extend the life of their big toy; the point is to delve into the many, many unexplained mysteries such as a the true nature of what we call "gravity", harmless methods to observe intercellular activity during diet or substance interventions (not with markers after biopsy or necropsy), how to convert ocean water to drinking water without getting the project cancelled by those who cannot bear to countenance the death of a single marine life form, and on and on.

Truly Max Plank wrote well, when he penned, "A great scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."[0]

LCOE is usually used to more easily compare the investment cost. While this leads to more resource usage... Because of economies of scale, wind turbines from 20 years into the future will be less expensive, more efficient and overall better.
A properly-sized invasion force given the physical size of Ukraine, and the size of its army, should have been 400,000-600,000 strong. Russia went in with <200,000, with its force structure badly allocated (not enough infantrymen or logistics guys), and has still managed to occupy a land area larger than Portugal + Ireland combined. And they've done that with essentially their peacetime standing forces. From the perspective of how the Russian army is "supposed" to fight (with a massive mobilization to flesh out its units), this invasion is essentially with one hand tied behind its back by improper force design/employment, and the other tied by rampant corruption. Still, Russia is beating Ukraine to death with headbutts...and also suffering a TBI in the process.

"Quantity has a quality all its own". They aren't considered "strong" because individual Russian battalions are expert warfighters per se. They're considered "strong" because the Russian military-industrial complex in its totality is not something that can be idly ignored by anyone except maybe the US or China.

Basically Russia scores high on 3 particular Principles of War: Mass, Offensive, and Simplicity. Not so well on the other 6 though.

Yes, extended exercise window is preferable, but that also means the ISOs have to be converted into NSOs, which are less tax favorable assuming an exit happens. So while flexibility is nice, it's not a free gift either.

What you can control though are:

1. Knowing your exercise cost in advance - sometimes you can negotiate for a bonus that can subsidize the cost

2. Getting a fair salary and equity cut based on the funding stage; even if you don't exercise all your equity, your package can at least be used in future negotiations: https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/

3. Asking for the option to extend exercise windows if you choose, turning ISOs into NSOs
Greer has written two speculative-fiction books about the downfall of the US: "Twilight's Last Gleaming" and "Retrotopia", apart from lots of other books.

>The battery solutions being rolled right now are those that operate on the scale of hours

The state where the mega batteries are installed uses about ~32 GWh total a day. An 850 MWh doesn't even come close to covering their needs. Covering ~2.6% of their load is equivalent to keeping power on for about 40 minutes.

>Solar + battery is great in those locations, and basically no one is aruging using nuclear when solar and battery is viable for 365 days of the year. Australia has a fairly large desert where such assumption would be true.

Deserts actually make for the worst place to install solar. Dust / sand covering panels substantially lowers their efficiency (to near zero), and keeping them clean involves a lot of water (Can you guess where it's hardest to get water? Yep, a desert). And lastly, because the deserts are so far away from everyone else, there is significant transmission loss.

One thing about wasm I’m trying to understand: isn’t the bottleneck accessing DOM, WebGL, etc through JS? You’d have to have a workload that stayed away from those operations as much as possible to truly matter performance wise, no?
For some reason, these journalists tend to drop the "h" portion of the rated capacity of energy projects. The battery capacity (I believe this will actually be a group of stand-alone installations) will be 850MWh, which is about 2.6% of that Australian state's daily consumption.
That is certainly a very interesting suggestion. Thank you.

Reminds me of when I was playing Morrowind on the Xbox at fifteen years old and, after many months of playing, I finally embarked on the main quest. At which point I realized I had looted a main quest item from some fortress during early exploration and misplaced it. I needed it to finish the game.

I must have spent months here and there looking for that item in the world. I checked every shopkeeper in case I sold it. Then I searched every container I might have stashed it in.

Never found it. Never beat the game... (Until last year, 15+ years later, thanks to OpenMW).

Always wanted to rip the save file from the Xbox in my parents' attic and search for where I put that damn item just out of curiosity.

But your determination and persistence reminded me of mine.
My pet theory is that people don't spend much time around babies and young children when they're growing up so have less comfort around the idea of themselves being parents. This tracks with the "wealthier" pattern also because as people become wealthier, they're able to become more socially isolated.

My guess is that in pre-modern times, a lot of child care would happen by various neighbors so everyone would have some experience being around small kids. Now childcare is largely a business where specific people spend everyday, all day caring for kids (daycare, pre-K, kindergarten, etc).
Is that context in the title?
Completely agree with this. Imagine: a picture of a graduation from Smith, High School, but the school gets renamed --or a picture of you next to the 'Gates' building which then gets renamed when Gates falls from grace due to something unpalatable.
