It's by far the most common type of loan a private citizen is likely to need. I want to buy an asset, I take a loan and use the money to buy the asset, if I don't repay the loan the creditor takes the asset.

I don't need to have 1.5x the value of the assets in anything to get such a loan. I just need to convince the creditor that (a) I am likely to eventually repay the loan, and (b) that the resale value of the asset will be sufficient to cover the loan if I don't pay.

If DeFi loans can't handle this scenario, as far as 99% of the population is concerned they're not loans at all.

I think many men who use apps, do so because they are too afraid to approach a woman they find attractive if the situation is appropriate.

In my opinion while convenient, they should be last resort.

Only the very smallest instances don’t get a full core. And when you have multiple vCPU the scheduler _won’t_ ever split you onto a thread. This is definitely true of aws’s nitro, I don’t know for certain about gcp. The attacks are not fully mitigated between hyperthreads.

Is there evidence cloud compute is more than a few percent slower than on-prem?
> This is mostly solved by going wireless which allows you to use your headset anywhere you have space.

I think you're missing what I'm saying: while I have space, the space I have requires some effort to make VR-ready. Wireless is interesting (I can use it in my backyard, for example), but that comes with its own set of caveats.
I'm referring to other posts and discussions outside this website. I don't expect as much criticism in this post.
By the dot-com crash in 2000, there were a myriad of clear use cases for the Internet that normal people—those not particularly tech-savvy, and especially not those directly financially invested in Internet companies—used and recognized as very helpful.

Bitcoin has now been around for, what, 13 years? And aside from a very brief explosion of hype around NFTs that most people were fairly quickly able to recognize as nothing but more "greater fool" scams, most people not directly financially invested in blockchain projects either don't know or care blockchain exists, or see it as a bad thing.
The interesting bit (to me) is the algorithm. They automatically detect how slow each available swap space is, and how sensitive a workload is to memory latency and then swap memory pages into compressed dram or nvme storage in an optimal way.

So yes, it's "just swap space" but highly optimized.

Online dating apps which have a huge incentive to keep people on their site as long as possible too...
For you.

I'm with Carmack on this one, reality may be better than VR for you but there are a lot of people in the world where that may not be the case either all the time or for some of the time. A VR headset is cheaper and more attainable than moving to a new city/state/country. Meeting people in VR is easier than trying to make new friends offline. VR allows people to choose everything about their physical appearance, not just clothing but physical proportions and attributes, gender, etc. Is it escapism? To some degree yes but it does allow for real social interaction on a level not previously possible with a computer. That means a lot to people who aren't able to socialize with others offline for a whole host of reasons.

> The US economic policy in the 10s and 20s is a candidate for the cause of the crippling depression in the 30s

Or too little regulation. Or too the wrong kind. Or something else. I'm not arguing for or against current US economic policy.

This is the theory: Without any regulation, one or a few actors can grow large and stifle any competition and innovation.

This theory seems to be proven by history.

Some might say: "that wasn't a *real* free market". Just like some might say: "that wasn't *real* communism". These both need some strong arguments to back them, or they come off as No true Scotsman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman)
Novell NCP was faster in all contexts, as far as I know.

"SMB1 is an extremely chatty protocol, which is not such an issue on a local area network (LAN) with low latency. It becomes very slow on wide area networks (WAN) as the back and forth handshake of the protocol magnifies the inherent high latency of such a network. Later versions of the protocol reduced the high number of handshake exchanges."

We are definitely willing to add NetBSD if someone can demonstrate it working well with iPXE. It's come up several times and it's implementation works with pxelinux in a local setting but not so well with iPXE as the implementation linked looks for a specific file on a tftp source.
If this was a one-man shop for most of a decade, the conventional wisdom of giving early employees equity might not apply. You are not high-growth, you are not a startup. I'd honestly look at what other skilled trades do - if an electrician works on their own for 7 years, then hires an office admin, does that admin get equity? I honestly don't know that answer, but I'd ask such questions to determine what the standard practices are in wider industries, balance that with the practices in tech, and then make your choice.

Aren't we talking about people in their 20s? You seem to be describing teenagers. For people in their 20s, it's always been quite normal to have a job, a home, and, at some point during their 20s, to get married.
Yeah, that's not Cloudflare at all (it's unlikely that CF still uses nginx/1.14).

Sex ain't going out of fashion, you're just garbage at it.
This does happen, but mostly for men. The most successful men are seeing a different girl 5 nights a week. Typically women will tend to try a few men out, then stick with a favorite or two.

Men at the bottom get absolutely nothing, while women at the bottom mostly end up going on bad dates or getting used for sex.
A job posting without a salary is like a Tinder profile without a picture.

The description is nice, but it's not what grabs your attention
I think it is more than fair to just say men have it worse in regards to online dating.
There might be some confusion between fashion and reality. You can never be to rich or too thin, but obese and broke is an extremely common combination. Sex may be waning under the stress of modern living, but that doesn't necessarily make it unfashionable.
Your one paper is based on on study using health and diet surveys.

A comprehensive review of the literature found that:

"When reviewing the evidence for an upper level of 5.8 g/day, it becomes apparent that neither the supporting studies selected by the health institutions, nor randomized controlled trials and prospective observational studies disregarded by the health institutions, document that a salt intake below this 5.8 g, has beneficial health effects. Although there is an association between salt intake and blood pressure, both in randomized controlled trials and in observational studies, this association is weak, especially in non-obese individuals with normal blood pressure. Furthermore a salt intake below 5.8 g is associated with the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system, an increase in plasma lipids and increased mortality."

Is that actually coming from Cloudflare? iirc Cloudflare reports it self as Cloudflare not nginx in the 5xx error pages
What’s the source of this?
I don't believe that's it. Plenty of men in relationships with a "willing partner" use heaps of porn, and in many circumstances prefer using porn to sex.

And yes, having _sex_ is only a swipe away for women. But having decent sex that you enjoy and is another matter altogether. And that's before thinking about safety.

If I was looking for reasons why fewer women seem to be into porn, I'd say it's because the vast majority of porn is explicitly made to cater to male desires.

Your 4 year old does not need to commute per bicycle and in general should not be riding a bicycle on busy streets. Even on busy bicycle paths small kids can be problematic (slow and unpredictable) so they're honestly better off on the sidewalk, on barely used (residential) streets and in parks.

I'm also not mentioning electric vehicles since at the moment they are a luxury product (excluding DIY). If you're looking for value it's definitely still in ICE. Although 1000 isn't exactly cheap a decent bicycle does cost 200-250 second hand in my experience. Anything cheaper tends to break the moment you give it some torque after forgetting to switch down a couple gears for a stop. I've broken so many cheap cranks it's not even funny.

Also as mentioned, there's public transport and maybe moving near your work in case that's somehow too expensive. (I reckon lots of people on ~minimum salary don't work in expensive parts of the city)

And I still reckon even a kid with a half decent bike can get to 50 on a nice downhill. Not too sure though and I don't feel like encouraging a kid to try although knowing how my generation was as kids they'll try without encouragement once they can ride in a straight line.

I'm kinda curious if a kid can do it now so I just opened https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/cycling-wattage to get a rough idea and although it's definitely far from perfect for:

- 16kg person weight

- 9kg bike

- 50km/h goal

- Hoods position to assume some tuck

- On asphalt with -6 grade

I get 350W. On -10 grade 211W. (to maintain)

Only issue is I can't find a power measurement over time for a 4 year old.
The original Quest has passthrough as well, this is exactly what I don't want

you gain IRL latency for reduced pixels
Actually, I think the flip side is even more interesting. If you want to give good, low latency service to 50% of the world you need a lot of data centers.
We're in the same boat, and it gets worse than this. Our local post office asks that when addressing packages to be shipped by UPS or FedEx, we include our PO Box as an apartment number.

The reason for this is that parcel services sometimes have agreements with USPS to hand off last-mile delivery to USPS. Which means USPS is stuck trying to figure out how to deliver a package to an address they don't serve.

Adding the PO Box number as an apartment number gets them over this hump. Needless to say, it causes absolute havoc with address validation. All of the humans locally involved in delivery know what's up and it all just works, but getting an address following this convention past the computers can be a special kind of hell.

It also turns out that at least one validation service thinks our street address is in a different zip code than it actually is. Having to fudge the address with merchants using such validation services sometimes ends with a trip to the wrong post office and profuse apologies while they rummage through the back looking for a package that's genuinely misaddressed, but wouldn't have been shipped otherwise.

Please, please give your users an escape hatch to use the address as entered, even if it doesn't validate.
Thank you for this, I was unaware. I will definitely be digging some more :)
There are some topics that are excellent on HN, from which I learn an immense amount almost daily. This is not one of them.
Reading stuff like this makes me really glad that I married my first girlfriend.
We've been married for over 10 years now. She was really out of my league.
I did compromise on many things including age gap (she is older), past baggage and the fact that I have to let her win every argument and do everything she says but I'm glad because she was the opportunity of my life and I took it and I've never been so lucky since about anything since.
> Imagine you've put your soul into it, and some years later they tell you that you can no longer pursue your vision and respect your users, and you're now a mere executor. Your opinion no longer matters, and the fact that you have one at all is a nuisance for the new management.

Ya, my argument is that people are absolutely naive to do this, for the reasons I mentioned.

> For me the money is very much a side effect of making the world a better place.

That's what they want you to believe. People sure as hell weren't clanging pots and pans for the software developers who instead of writing code all day in their ivory tower in downtown SF, only to leave and walk past human feces, needles, and suffering, instead got to go home and write that code from their $5k 1bdr apartment. If you can try to choose your industry more carefully, that's great, but don't lie and tell me you're paid so well because of your noble contribution to the human race.

People should try and be good to others, and if they can afford it, work for companies on products that don't actively harm people, but when they can't pay you or their stakeholders decide that's irrelevant, you can leave.

Yes, there was. There were early studies in rats showing that the lipid nanoparticles which the mRNA vaccines use concentrate in the ovaries and testes. There should have been biodistribution studies in humans before the vaccine rollout, but naturally those were skipped entirely. It was one of the biggest early red flags for me.

If you forgive my prying, was this an implementation issue with the maintenance plan (operator or tooling error), a fundamental issue with the soundness of the plan as it stood, or an unexpected outcome from how the validated and prepared changes interacted with the system?

I imagine that an outage of this scope wasn’t foreseen in the development of the maintenance & rollback plan of the work.
Why all this talk about sex for "entertainment"? Am I in the minority since I have sex because I have an urge to do it? It's never been about entertainment in my brain.
I stand by it.

If you do find sex to be the most fulfilling part of your life, it might be worth asking where that sense of fulfillment comes from. It's probably a "who", not a "what".
> He’d just fork the entire blockchain.

Everybody else can fork the entire blockchain, too. The difference is that if a "normal user" does such a fork, hardly anyone does care. The central difference rather is that the trust and authority that Vitalik Buterin holds - if he does a decision, it is accepted by and large.

The question that you should rather ask is: why do so many people involved in Ethereum have so much trust in Vitalik Buterin's authority and decisions?
They are only worth using as a man if you are ranked in the top 10% of superficial appearances. Those guys are going on dates with different women daily with these apps. If you don't believe me look up any YouTube video going undercover on Tinder masquerading as an attractive man.

The thing is Tinder has 75 million active users. If we assume 75% of these active users are men, and only the top 10% of men will reliably match, approximately 51 million men are gambling their time away (75×.75×0.9=50.625)
Because their products are a complete fucking MESS.

Quotes used to be an exact search, but it now overrides that basically everywhere and continues to search for what it thinks you mean (and has for like a decade now). Even though the "Missing: ___ ‎| Must include: ___" popup just wraps that word in quotes in the search. Which is infuriating, since they know damn well adding quotes won't actually search for that word.

In reality, you need to click "tools" -> "all results" and change it to "verbatim" which does at least still appear to work... for now.

He shows that in the article too, but it's really just a historical curiosity with little impact on day to day living beyond a few trifles.

But there's so many men out there that woman can probably find someone, at least in a normal-ish city. Most men get zilch. I think we're seeing some of the less obvious effects of that now. Men don't get to have a sexual exploration or slut phase and this is... who knows, stunting their emotional growth? Among other things. As each sex gets older, women tend to accumulate more experience, and mock men who may be lacking it.

I have a DVD-A ripper that only runs on Windows. Because I use a Mac, I primarily use a Windows VM just to rip DVD-A disks.

(DVD-A is a variant of the DVD format where audio is lossless, compressed using MLP. (Very similar to FLAC.) In general, DVD-A is 100% obsolete because Bluray supports lossless audio over HDMI without a special player. Unfortunately, some artists still release on DVD-A for reasons I don't fully understand.)
I do not think an “addiction” is the problem. Obviously, everyone prefers the real thing to porn.

What has changed is the availability of porn introducing an extremely low cost alternative to sex, reducing the impetus for making the effort to find a partner (relative to previous times). Maybe even reducing the impetus to putting in the effort to seduce an existing partner!

Of course, it is not uniform across all men of course. I suspect those who are able to attract/interact with partners more easily will opt to do that, and those that are not will opt for the easier, lower cost option (even though there may be other long term costs).
No idea where the figures would be from, but it sounds like a lot of this could be automated away, anyone invented swipe-bots yet?
Sounds like Cloudflare need a small low-traffic MCP that they can deploy to first.

I think this is an overly dire warning, but the core of it is correct. If you get a random reach out, it probably means a discussion with an associate who is building out their network/pipeline and doesn't have much, if any, sway within the company yet.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to meet with an associate, and doesn't mean they are seeking to kill your company. An intro meeting with an associate will take time you could be spending elsewhere, so it's up to you to determine if it's a good use of it.

I'm not sure it is more convenient. Google Glass did heads up directions years ago and nobody cared. I don't get lost so quickly that I can't just peak at my phone every minute or two. I'm not buying a piece of hardware to strap to my face for just that one thing. The current pinnacle of AR adoption is still Pokemon Go and that was 5 years ago. And it was really just a gimmick.
I think VR and Twitter are far too different for this to fully apply. VR interaction involves real time voice communication along with a good deal of body language. Twitter has a forced limit on the number of characters you can use and is text and static image only. A fairer comparison might be video calls but I don't know of any online communities that use these exclusively so the closest would be Discord servers where a lot of people use voice chat.

There are quite a few people that have met up irl after building a relationship in apps like VR Chat, I think they've probably had the same success rate that people who met through chatrooms or dating sites have.

...but on the other hand don't implement a common baseline for how to organisationally subdivide and address areas of land.
