Ohh ok so no Ethereum or EVM assets

With virgin addresses I can get bitcoin and monero (or anything incl cash) anonymously from the tornado cash notes via the bridges, or via exchanges and staying below KYC limits

But Tornado Cash notes decrypt only to EVMs where Tornado Cash is deployed. It would be more convenient for Ether and some ERC20 tokens to also be used directly, instead of bridges or exchanges.

Are you all beholden to a specific payment processor or implementation? People pay the most to use Ethereum for over half a decade now, which is best projection we have for activity and potential interest in merchants that aren't crypto native services.
Another flaw is that it assumes that the hardware component, .e.g. rocks, somehow represents the consciousness instead of the 'software'. For example, our brain is required for our own consciousness, but that is merely the hardware. And we see the hardware of the brain existing without consciousness when people fall into a coma. The example with the rocks is simply the hardware. Furthermore, the number of rocks needed to produce consciousness in this manner would likely cause them to coalesce into a planet under the influence of gravity from which life and consciousness itself might arise! After all, Earth is a collection of rocks that gave rise to consciousness.

One big advantage not mentioned in the article particularly relevant to this audience: git diffs (or your VCS of choice). One sentence per line means diffs will operate per-sentence, rather than per-paragraph. This way the diff can capture the restructuring of the paragraph (adding/removing/replacing a sentence), which gives much more insight than swapping out the paragraph wholesale. It also means minor changes (e.g. typo fixes) will only add+delete a single sentence, making it much easier to identify what has actually changed from one commit to the next.

I take this a step further and will often split out a single sentence into a clause per line, but this is a judgement call rather than a hard and fast rule.

Great! While we can argue over whether not changing an app icon is immoral, it is your prerogative to make that trade off. Let’s just not pretend the tradeoff doesn’t exist.
I call this sort of reasoning the "Wonder Years" fallacy. People forget that the “middle class family” in "The Wonder Years" show--headed by a man who graduated college and a woman who completed some college--would have been a solidly top 10% family in 1970.

Since 1970, the poverty rate among seniors has dropped from almost 25% to just above 10%: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45791.pdf. Although more people had pension plans (though never a majority), they were not portable, and most workers never stayed at a job long enough to earn their pension. Pension benefits were also low compared to what they are now. See: https://retirementlc.com/golden-age-pensions-another-fairy-t...

Healthcare was cheaper in 1970, but because doctors could not do much for you if you got heart disease or cancer or other chronic illnesses. In 1970, 40% of heart attack patients who were hospitalized died. Today, it is well under 10%. Living longer doesn’t happen automatically, it costs money. Not just to develop heart medication or cardiac stents, but for the decades of additional care that is required when a heart attack patient survives to old age instead of dying at age 55. It’s not just old people either. The infant mortality rate has dropped from 26 per 1,000 in 1960 to under 6 per 1,000 in 2020. That wasn’t from cheap interventions like vaccination, which happened a generation before that. It was from expensive interventions like giving birth in hospitals, extensive pre-natal care, surgical interventions for sick infants, etc.

The costs per square foot of new houses has stayed pretty much the same from 1970 to 2015: https://fee.org/articles/new-homes-today-have-twice-the-squa.... What people overlook is that (1) as the population grows, the "frontier" of where the typical new house is being sold moves; and (2) people are using their growing income to buy much bigger houses. For example, Silicon Valley was an underpopulated, undesirable suburban and rural area in the 1960s—that’s why they built semiconductor facilities there!

It’s important to account for both price increases (paying more for the same thing) and consumption increases (paying more to get more). A good example of both of those things happening is college. The cost of college has undoubtedly gone up faster than inflation. But it’s also a very different product than it was in 1970, with fancy housing and recreational facilities and tons of handholding from support staff.

By contrast, housing is a good example of something where it’s been mainly consumption increases. People are taking all their extra income and using it to buy bigger houses in more desirable areas.

For ~300 streamers, wouldn’t a single symmetrical fiber 1gbps line, like a residential AT&T install, basically cover it?

The TOS prohibits it but I always figured it’d be fine so long as one didn’t get too popular. I guess I’m wondering to what extent increased residential bandwith keeps CDN bandwidth cost in check.
> Photonics and copper both travel at about the speed of light.

Just going to put this out there since it's totally non-obvious to a lot of armchair engineers, but this is not at all true. Velocity factor in most transmission lines (optical or electrical) is typically about 0.66c but varies depending on the material and the physical dimensions of the medium.

In very highspeed circuit design, (10s of ghz) both path length and velocity factor matching are considered when evaluating timing constraints for chipscale features.

I think what you say here is at least mostly true. But all it shows is that you can never prove that an entity apart from yourself is conscious. In other words it shows that solipsism cannot be logically refuted. But that is something that has been known for hundreds if not thousands of years.

But what if I ask YOU right now: "Are YOU experiencing something instead of nothing. Is YOU'RE current experience different from what it would be if YOU were under general anesthesia."

If you're answer to these questions is yes then YOU are experiencing qualia. Of course your answer proves nothing to me or any other third party. But it should prove something to YOU.
Sure that makes sense, but it's irrelevant. We weren't talking about working more vs working less or working on meaningful stuff vs boring stuff.

We were talking about working on things that are good for the company vs good for the performance review process. The fact that there's a difference and that it's distinct from wellbeing is why at big companies some people with 5yoe make 3x as much as people with 30 yoe.

> my argument is that none of that matters since root user can still extend/modify kernel code at runtime via binary patching.

OpenBSD restricts that ability as well[1]. Neither /dev/mem nor /dev/kmem can be opened (read or write) during normal multi-user operation; you have to enter single-user mode (which requires serial console or physical access to achieve anything useful). Raw disk devices of mounted partitions can't be altered, immutable/append-only files can't be altered, etc.

You can also choose to completely prohibit access to raw disk devices, although that gets annoying when you e.g. need to format an external drive. There is of course still a lot of potential to do harm as root, but it's not as easy to create a persistent threat or resist in-system analysis by an administrator.

I don't, though. If it compiles, it exists. Saying that a method might actually be a nuke is a bit besides the point. It could also contain a virus.

Not sure what typing system you're referring to, but it sounds very half-baked at best. I'm using Rust fwiw.

I cannot access any field or method that does not exist. Even dynamic traits are compile time enforced, but i think we can largely have this discussion around static dispatch.
Thanks very much for this. I've been fortunate enough to find similar things (though at a much smaller scale than AWS) at my current workplace. If you're still reading this, I would love to know whether you can get the above with some kind of semblance of a worklife balance. Do you have coworkers that maintain a 40 hour workweek, and don't have to work on weekends? How far away from that "ideal" can one get while still having a successful career at AWS?
Apple, as opposed to Google and Facebook, "don't capture your data" to sell their product. That's their brand, and it has made them millions. They do give your data without question to authorities, without a fight. These battles are costly and the bottom line is the bottom line and money > people when it comes to FB, Google and Apple =/ but that's the world we live in, so I can't really blame them. We reap what we sew.

When west coast forest fires put dangerous levels of smoke into peoples homes, box fan air filters are an extremely valuable tool for lower income families. Consider yourself extremely fortunate if you are able to choose form over function on devices like this.
What they really need is a system that puts the fear of God into them. Simply prohibiting chemicals after we've found them to be dangerous is unhelpful, and regulating them before we've found them dangerous is impossible.

Why not have a serious system based on punishment instead, after the fact? For example-

"If a company is found to be responsible for a material environmental disaster, whoever was employed by that company during the relevant period shall be sentenced to life in prison and a fine of 100% of their net worth. No liability should apply for occupations which can be conclusively demonstrated to be unrelated to the activities of the firm, such as janitors or security guards.

The statute of limitations shall equal the duration of life of the concerned natural persons or the victims, whichever is longer."

This would cause people to self-regulate, based on whatever informal information they hear ("3M is doing really dodgy stuff, I wouldn't work there if I were you"), rather than having to wait for regulation. It would be much better suited, and would allow for the government to scrap other bothersome regulation.
That's certainly very nice, but I'm sure you can appreciate the complexity involved here. I would need to compile this and have CUDA properly configured on Linux, or have no CUDA support on Windows. So even your hand-picked example is not that different from the process I just described, which is the standard for ML projects as of today, even for players like Meta or Nvidia.
If that's the deal, ¿porqué no los dos? I use an iPhone, but sync my pictures with Google Photos in case any one of them becomes aggro. I also keep my passwords in a password manager, so Apple and Google only have access to the bare essentials. My docs are in Google Drive, SyncThing, Dropbox, and an external hard drive, and so on.

There exist non-dudes, and getting caught without a tampon/pad is a thing that can happen for any number of reasons.

A hand wash with unlimited water will probably get the job done, but unlimited water is often a luxury.

I think what you're referring to in your last paragraph is a CEREC crown, but it's not always cheaper. In my case, my insurance covers a lab-made crown with a $100 copay. It takes a few days to be made, so it's slightly inconvenient. Same-day CEREC crowns aren't covered by my insurance, and cost around $500-$800 at the dentists I went to.

I discovered this last year when I went to a new dentist and they recommended two CEREC crowns and a laser gum cleaning at a total cost of around $2000. This was surprising, because I thought my dental insurance was pretty good. Turns out, it is: the dentist was just electing to use more expensive methods that weren't covered by insurance and failed to tell me about the options. I did some research later and found that the laser cleaning was not demonstrably better than the traditional approach in terms of outcomes (though I think the gums are supposed to heal faster) and was not endorsed by the periodontist professional society. I saw some sources which said that the same-day CEREC crown is actually worse than the lab-made crown in terms of fit and durability.
Is there a better way to organize them

Commonly known as a (Tech) union?
Further to the point above, the 20 year old in this story does not actually deliver anything. But his protestations about 'slow' and 'legacy' and 'best practices' are like a siren song to some other non-tech folks who keep saying "well, sure, we don't want to be slow - we want to scale - let's do what $person is suggesting". Except... nothing gets done. Months have gone by with no measurable progress, but lots of 'review sessions' identifying $newStackX as the gold standard.

If someone wants to challenge or push back on decisions I make (for example), you better be able to deliver something a) good or b) fast. IDEALLY both, but... if you give me POC code quickly with obvious issues BUT demonstrate some improvement - that's great. We can iterate, if it's quick. Give me some fully fleshed out measurable improvement that takes a bit longer, but has some tests, docs, etc. That's good too.

Sit around and just continually 'back seat dev' on stuff I ship, while literally being incapable of delivering working software of any size, or even supporting your own stuff that you think is 'awesome'... we won't be in agreement on anything.

One of my favorite HN discussions on burnout pointed out the prevailing form of burnout that arises from relentless overworking and burnout are rooted in the same cause: when effort becomes decoupled from reward:

> What causes burnout is if the effort-reward cycle misses (either repeatedly for small efforts, or if you put in a lot of effort and have a categorical miss)

> Reward could be anything. The feeling of a job well done (easy to miss if the project is a failure, or if management pivots), it could be the expectation of career advancement, it could be soft recognition by peers... And is dependent on the individual and project. You could even have an outward success and a pay raise but if you wanted your peers to love you and they didn't.... Burnout. You could even have an easy and unpressured job and burn out if it's not providing the rewards you expect.

> In any case the disconnect between effort and reward teaches your brain to associate effort with failure and the fact that the common. "take a break" advice failed for you should not be surprising, because I think that doesn't work in general: it doesn't reassociate effort with expected reward.

I'm shocked at how many people take inflation numbers seriously. To me, it's just obviously government propaganda.

Primitive society: priest-scribes working for the state pore over the movement of the stars, after much study pronounce that the gods are pleased, and all will be well after we sacrifice 100 goats. By the way, there is no better way to organize society, because the king is descended from the sun god

Modern society: priest-scribes working for the state pore over econometric numbers, after much study pronounce that the economy is strong, and all will be well after we print 4 trillion dollars for economic stimulus and then raise interest rates to tame inflation. By the way, there is no better way to organize society, because the government is democratically elected

I use Stripe to manage payments for a subscription site with both monthly and annual options. I have renewal reminders turned off, because it seems like overkill for a monthly renewal – no option to only have it on for yearly plans. I worried about issues with yearly renewals, so I set up my own service to send a renewal reminder for yearly subscribers. I would rather have more customers not renew on friendly terms than deal with surprise charges. And I figure it may prompt some to check and update payment methods or spur them back into actively using the service more.

I had a lot of trouble finding "the right" air purifier. Who knows if its even the right one. I found wirecutter (and the like) to have a bit of a feel of a fake affiliate marketing website.

My take is: people currently trust their friends, and they trust influencers. They don't really trust "experts", or scientists.

What are thoughts on a social network that was simply product endorsements from your social network. You can add influencers & friends and list the products you use.

Yeah if influencers want to shill a product, that's up to them and you. If you trust them, then you trust what they shill. But if you want to see Kara Swisher uses a IQ Air or an Ikea product, you can trust them.

Thoughts?
Its listed in the app.

There are differing levels of consciousness. Even in a human, we are from time to time, more or less conscious and therefore exhibit sentience based on varying states. This is not simply communication either. As you progress through the evolutionary chain, you see more and more self-awareness and inner thought. This is not binary in terms of whether it exists but is instead based on the level which can differ between organisms and probably also differs among organisms of the same species.
