Thanks these are helpful in understand that PoS the consensus enables the the financial instrument known as "staking."

Would the following be a correct summary then?

By holding more tokens you become a preferable verifier node because you hold more tokens. And the way you hold more tokens and burnish your reputation as a verifier is by borrowing those assets from the actual owners and then paying the asset owners double digit interest? Is this correct? The idea is that you will make enough in transaction fees on the network to payout something like 18% interest to asset owner and still make a profit?

If so this seems wildly circular.
Can banks individually create money out of nothing? (2014)
I was in a similar position ~2 years ago. After being a solo DevOps/Sysadmin/Cloud person, my team grew and I found myself doing more and more management stuff. Eventually we all recognized I was the team's manager.

We are a small team/org, so I still do engineering work, but I spent about half of my time communicating, planning and drawing the big picture for everyone. Third point is really important, even in small orgs people make bad decisions all the time as they don't understand stuff beyond their silos. I make sure everyone knows how much money we make, how much we spend, what our customers want, what techs we use, what I think we have as tech debt, etc... I leave semester planning to engineers themselves, I just give the info they need to do it correctly.

Communication is an enabler for the said third point, I realized talking with people often is important as it makes my "big picture" drastically more realistic.

Good luck!

> you're looking at 75% of the country voting for Democrats

A constitutional amendment ought to have support from more than one party, not just Democrats. You might be able to get that if you took a more oblique approach, for example with an amendment explicitly upholding the natural right to control over one's own body, as opposed to one narrowly focused on allowing abortion.
I like that the two sibling comments above are "Obviously, everyone knows {polar opposites}."
If you know anything about how arguments work, and you actually read the parent to the comment you attack you would see that saying "that's not actually how you do it" is a perfectly fair response.

What EA_itsinthegame posted was a series of disconnected statements that only form a cohesive whole by virtue of the layout rules in a html rendering engine. It's certainly not anything approaching a criticism of the tweet thread as it never even manges to quote from it.
> You're ignoring what I said, which is that a right established by the highest court, and ten times affirmed by the highest court, including as recently as 6 years ago, just obliterated that entire history in a ruling that is guaranteed to carry a toll in human health and human lives.

All of this posturing is irrelevant to the fact that the right which was granted did not follow from the arguments being made. Our courts should follow sound reasoning when establishing unenumerated rights. They also should not care about what the impact would be downstream of their decisions; their reasoning should stand on its own.

> It has established many specific rights that are not articulated in the Constitution or codified in laws. Most still stand.

And some no longer do.

> I'm confused, how many vulnerable women died as a result of that?

Impossible to say, but it had to be a non-negligible amount. Either way, that has no bearing on which way the court should rule.

The laws represent the will of the people via their elected representatives. The court adjudicates these laws and their validity as it relates to our constitution.

I also recommend an iPhone app called "ISS Finder". It will notify you when the International Space Station will be making a visible flyby over you. You can then run outside and watch the ISS glide across the night sky at 17,000 mph. It takes about one minute to cross the sky. I always feel awe seeing that ISS dot, knowing humans can launch other humans into orbit 250 miles above.
It does make sense, so your okay with EVERY app having the vulnerability then? versus an open market?
You're going to have elaborate about what these policies are and also what you think they should be doing.

> but won’t pay you more money if you decide to keep the baby.

It sounds like you think they should give people pay increases if they have children. Of course, they also offer parental leave, and arguably lose money every time one of their employees has a baby, so if that's what you want them to do, it makes no sense.

To be clear, I'm not proposing they have some nefarious economic purpose in paying employees to fly to get abortions. I think the companies genuinely view it as a healthcare benefit, and most of their employees genuinely feel that it should be a fundamental Federal right.

> Where are the people in tech that are fighting back against this?

If there isn’t a difference, why didn’t the other four Justices in the majority join in his concurrence?

There’s a spectrum of opinions among legal conservatives on many decisions. Kennedy wrote Obergefell and Gorsuch wrote Bostock. But no legal conservative thinks that Roe was correctly decided and a fair number of legal liberals don’t either. (Alito quotes a liberal legal scholar in this opinion who said of Roe at the time that it wasn’t Constitutional law and didn’t even try to be.)
Women aren't just "life support"; that is an inaccurate view as well.

When a fetus is growing it takes from the womans body. For example, a woman's bones are dissolved so they can be repurposed to to fetal skeleton. The woman is literally giving up her body. The fetus is the woman's body in a literal way. She is not a passive incubator to something like an egg that has all it needs.
Sure. Why send a handful of representatives from each state to Washington? With horses somebody needed to physically go. Now we can all watch C-SPAN. If we can vote for American Idol we can vote on laws. Yeah, direct democracy, computers make it work. It never did before but now it does.

Of course I don’t want to have to study every law and decide how to vote, that would be a full time job. So I’ll pick a representative and add my vote to the weight of theirs. But I can change my representative any time, even on a vote by vote basis, and obviously they don’t have to be from my state.

There are all kinds of better way of doing things that are possible now that nobody has gotten around to trying.
re: C, it was also a restaurant review and a pretty ringing endorsement.

If anyone is interested, after firefox send shutdown, i wrote https://www.relaysecret.com, its footprint is extremely small (1 lambda function that does all signing for s3 upload/download, simple frontend code that does encryption in browser using web crypto api with no 3rd party Js, no 3rd party css, no tracking. Anchor tag is used for additional random key material (so it wont leave ya browser and files will always be encrypted regardless).

You can roll your own too with the terraform code in it. It costs me barely anything (never go over free tier limit) to run it because files never live more than 10 days (there is a catchall lifecycle rule on the bucket) and when users select durations, i also put them in bucket prefix that has lifecycle rule place on objects under them for that duration. Note that we can't rely on lifecycle rule all the time so i also make sure when lambda is called to access the object, it checks the time-stamp, the duration and if it is meant to expire and not yet cleaned up by s3 - lambda function deletes it.

I learnt a ton of cool things about s3 after this neat little project and really dig the API, the lifecycle rule, signing url etc...

Ps: for these type of tool, you should definitely mitm it to see if plaintext file or password ever leave the browser... Relaysecret does leave one item unencrypted and that is the file name. You can change it upon upload but i like to leave it there so people know what they are downloading. I have simple idea of encrypting that with just the anchor key but haven't gotten around to put that in yet.
I think it is different though – Roe v Wade wasn't just a court decision, it was a political symbol, and an issue on which many justices have deeply personal feelings (one way or the other).

Griswold isn't a political symbol to anywhere near the same extent. And even people who think contraception is a sin, don't get anywhere near as emotive about it as they do on the abortion issue.
Yeah, it’s koolaid flavored like money with an anti establishment label on it.
I struggle to understand how the politics in America can on the one hand, restrict personal freedoms such as abortion, same-sex marriage, contraception, and at the same time, allow free use of firearms, which are clearly more detrimental to the public.

I suspect people will say this is a partisan issue, and blame the Republicans, and I kinda get that, but can the Democrats truly be so ineffectual that this is the state of your country?

I look at all other development nations (note, I'm not American), and I wonder how America can stand out so boldly backward on these issues.

If somebody can point me to another developed country that has such seemingly (I'll be polite) backward policies, please let me know.
Unfortunately, tons of people dispute it still. There's prominent people insisting Covid was in Italy in mid 2019 among other ridiculous things. Unfortunately they're common travelers with the more intellectually honest lab leak folks so it's hard to separate them.
> they only matter with GADTs and local modules

Local modules (assuming this means e.g. a module passed in as a function argument, constrained to have one of its types match the type of another argument) are how you write non-trivial polymorphic code.

> Atomic ... CCPair

More functors (in haskell terminology) - code that doesn't do anything interesting with the type parameter.

> What do you mean by LAT

Locally abstract type

> I am sorry to ask but are you confusing bounded polymorphism with parametric polymorphism?

Bounded polymorphism is an application of parametric polymorphism. Not sure what you are asking here. Possibly this will clarify my line of thought: I consider parametrically polymorphic code without any bounds to be "uninteresting"/"trivial", because either the code must treat the polymorphic type completely opaquely (leading to trivial functorial [in the haskell sense] operations like implementing fmap), or requiring you to explicitly pass in all supported operations on the instantiated type (basically requiring you to implement bounding by hand).

I think this may be a blub paradox thing, where the set of useful applications of PP is much more restricted in ocaml, to the point where ocamlers do not even consider what they are missing. A haskell or rust programmer would likely run into these semantic blocks quickly upon trying ocaml.

>People used to discuss amazingly cool tech stuff: like SSL oracles or privacy-preserving payment protocols. Now it's all about what the price is and moronic NFTs. It's embarrassing.

It is because blockchains cannot actually be used to do any of those cool tech things in any meaningful way. If you try to build any of those things on top of a blockchain you will realize quickly that blockchains are bad solution. The only purpose of them is to pump up the value of a casino token which is then used to pay a tax to the operators of the network. It's no surprise that after this nonsense you're only left with irrational actors.

And that is only for the average user; for the whales, the purpose of them appears to be mainly profiting off of massive amounts of fraud and criminal activity while maintaining the plausible deniability of being able to say "technically we don't control the blockchain so we're not responsible".

The problem is when you buy a second hand bored ape, you don’t have any direct contract with BAYC.

They might be able to enforce terms of their original contract on the first party buyer - ‘once you sell the ape you no longer have this license’. But they have no contractual relationship (no ‘privity’) with you.

Perhaps possession of the ape entitled you to go to BAYC and get a license contract?

That’s great, so long as BAYC 1) continues to honor that agreement (and since you have no contract with them to begin with there’s nothing obliging them to do so) and 2) continues to exist. If they go under and their copyright in their apes gets auctioned off, good luck finding whoever acquired your ape and persuading them that since you own a hash in a blockchain they really have to grant you a license to use that ape.
> The pro life position is really simple...

> That’s it. There is no requirement to meet some perceived bar of empathy beyond that for this to be a good faith argument.

You seem to be saying that because the argument is simple, it's in good faith, but this is not how good faith arguments work, nor is it aligned with the common understanding of "good faith".

Pregnancy is not simple. The circumstances surrounding conception are often not simple. The post-birth reality for many kids is anything but simple. Our medical/scientific understanding of the development of a fetus is anything but simple.

To simply ignore the 2nd and 3rd order effects that result from the "simple" position of a pro life person is to willfully ignore the complexity of this issue. This willful ignorance by definition renders the argument unqualified to be considered good faith.

The simplicity of an argument is not an excuse for ignoring the complexity of the issue. In general, a "good faith" argument is built from a foundation of common understanding between all involved parties. A good faith argument acknowledges complexities and offers its own solutions. A good faith argument isn't made by covering one's ears and pretending those complexities don't exist.

To claim that "X argument is good faith because it's simple" is in itself a bad faith argument, or at best, uninformed about what good faith is generally expected to mean in discourse.

If you think you might do a self-funded startup down the road, having a traditional IRA can be very useful. I was a co-founder of a startup and it took us 3 years of self-funding to get it off the ground. During those years, the payments into the startup are a loss that can either be carried forward to offset future earnings or can be used to offset Roth conversion income, allowing tax-free Roth conversions.

You raise good points, but note that not everyone is rational here. Covid has in fact shown irrational so many people are, even in the 21st century.

If it were discovered to be a lab leak from something previously discovered in the wild, especially from a NIH funded lab, hell would break lose and it would hurt many aspects of biological and medical research.
> Most of the "evidence" against lab-leak is just weird insinuation.

Trying to refute evidence rejecting a theory is not equivalent to proving a theory, though. It's just broken reasoning.

Two lineages do not preclude lab origin.

It's not just you - I regularly read a fair amount of Type/JavaScript, and that is a weird library API.

The A function resolves to a singleton instance of Promise, which is updated by the class QuickReader. It means multiple instances of QuickReader will overwrite each other. In other words, A only works with the last instance of QuickReader created. I'm not sure if that's the intended behavior, but I would have designed it differently.

Netflix is AWS’s largest customer. They run everything on AWS except the CDNs that cache their video that is usually collocated at ISPs.

I’m not trying to “appeal to authority”. But since we are taking specifically about AWS, I should disclaim that I work at AWS in the consulting department. That’s where my perspective about large scale migrations come from. I’m not necessarily saying everyone “should move to the cloud”. I’m more referring to how deeply ingrained the commercial sector has always been involved with government.

Origin-bound codes & Web OTP codes [1] are interesting initiatives, but platform adoption has been poor. For example, it still isn't possible to use Web OTP in Chrome on MacOS from a Chrome Web app on iOS. The communication isn't there yet.

And for what it's worth - origin bound OTP codes aren't _strongly_ bound - there isn't anything physically stopping someone from typing that short 6 digit code into a phishing site. Compare with a Magic Link token - you're much less likely to take `https://example.com?token=some-long-uuid` and manually enter that code somewhere else.

Thinking the people who support abortion are on your side is the issue. The people supporting abortion are the same people who make period tracker apps and the same people that run the companies that buy that data. Think about it.
This would then be an excellent time to introduce universal human rights. Reproduction should only occur through consent, and no one should be forced to be a parent against their will. Any action done to our own bodies or action people ask that we perform with our bodies should require continuously consent. Any negative outcome to society of people not providing consent should be address by the government in the form of social support.

It is also about time that we abolish all laws that makes distinctions based on gender and sex. That way there won't be any 2nd-class citizens encoded in law that is based on gender.

> That doesn't eliminate the possibility that it was a natural virus which had been collected and subsequently escaped due to bad lab technique but the former is too attractive a conspiracy theory to let go..

For some reason most discussions claiming that the lab leak hypothesis is a conspiracy theory focus 90% of their effort arguing against being a bioengineered weapon and little time arguing against the actual strongest lab leak hypothesis: a zoonotic virus was collected and brought to a virology lab, where it was passed through humanized mice, a worker contracted it, and accidentally spread it in the city the virology lab was based.

The fact that people can pick out whackadoodles in Congress who argue for stupid theories doesn't make the strong theory weaker.

Ask HN: Resources to learn high-performance C++/Rust?
I'm a programmer that's mostly worked with Python so far in my career. At various points, I've run into performance bottlenecks that others have solved by writing high-performance libraries in C++ and Rust, mainly for things like data iterators and network servers.

What are some good resources to learn how to write high-performance and low-latency code that can interface with popular languages like Python in 2022? There are a lot of open-source libraries I can analyze and study, but often I feel like the techniques and optimizations they use go way over my head.
you: “we don't vote for Supreme Court justices… There's no…electoral…pressure on a justice[‘s] motivations…”

zzleeper: “Are you naive…? Republicans have lists of candidates for justices…they have deemed…anti roe-vs-wade”

you: “If I'm naive, please explain”

This is where you lost the point, and where I explained your naïveté, an explanation you ignored in your response to me.

Your last two paragraphs consist of speculative ad hominem (judging by your profile, we have similar life circumstances, and I have many conservatives in my “bubble” ie family members) followed by a hypocritical self defense. We don’t know anything about each other outside of what we’ve said here. I’m simply calling it like I see it:

you: “Why [wouldn’t Thomas change his mind once he is appointed], if he's now free to act as he pleases?…what's to stop him doing as he thinks is right…?”

The obvious answer is that he was appointed precisely because it was expected he would act the way he has, because what he believes is right is fully aligned with who appointed him, as are the three most recent appointees. You want to point out exceptions like Roberts, but those merely prove the rule from my original explanation.
