Another reason could be the dependence of these Bitcoin transactions on an Internet connection. I'm not sure how Chivo works but if you need a smartphone readily connected to the Internet just to proceed with simple payments, then that's already a significant friction for most users.

It's a similar scenario here in my home country which is also considered as having a developing economy. Not a lot of people here have Bitcoin wallets but digital wallets (which are not stored in immutable ledgers) are already gaining some popularity. More than half of young adults here probably have at least one digital wallet. However, it's still not a viable substitute for cash transactions because of that Internet connection requirement barrier. And since prepaid is more popular than postpaid mobile data plans, a lot of users see it as just an unnecessary additional cost. Actually, some might even see it as less convenient as digital wallet transactions are usually riddled with QR code scan failures and sometimes, sluggish loading times.
I’ve gotten vague legal threats from competitors who just browsed linked in and searched who they maybe thought could make the change they wanted and emailed me.

They seemed to avoid contacting executives or senior staff… but instead targeted folks capable of maybe making the change they wanted, and maybe jr / low enough on the pole enough to panic and do it.

I’ve seen it happen three times now, pretty scummy IMO.
have you seen any C++ or C spreadsheet engines that look reasonable. I need to embedded a spreadsheet engine in a C++ system and have looked at using either sc-im and also this obscure project called teapot. I need a spreadsheet style runtime formulas and cells, not a calculation engine for compile time.
I can’t believe how living a life with this level of scrutiny on how you behave online is acceptable to anyone.
The Taliban is not a terrorist organization. The Taliban was the government of the country of Afghanistan before we invaded it, and it is the government of the country of Afghanistan after we've left. "Terrorism" isn't a euphemism for killing US soldiers. If they're invading your country, the proper word is "patriotism."
I was just looking at a GIS inside a spreadsheet idea. Have you guys looked into spatial awareness yet?
It wouldn't be one machine. The initial incursion would have been used to leverage other local attacks. Then targeting domain controllers and admin accounts.

Probably also reading email; one possible way of finding it needed to get at 5 of 9 keys to unlock.
I started using those floss picks with the handles. I resisted the idea for ages since it seemed wasteful but I really hate wrapping the floss around my fingers. The picks make it so much easier, you can get them made of non petrochemical plastics (PLA) as well making them slightly less bad for the environment.

For sure, I don't think it would replace as much as supplement. And obviously your mouth flora can change based on any number of factors, so it might have to be something like a special toothpaste since it likely wouldn't be a one-time treatment.

Plus, I would imagine it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than nanobots once the bacteria strains are developed and tested.
Market cap is a measurement of value. GDP is a measurement of output. Comparing the two doesn't really make sense.
Are you saying its not common for water heaters to fail and cause water damage? Maybe I'm an outlier, but several people have told me that this happened in their homes.
No, not at all. Bcash isn’t Bitcoin. BSV isn’t Bitcoin. Eth classic is Ether. Existence of forks has zero impact on digital scarcity.
The dollars from you are transferred directly to them in some cases. The fee goes to the processor. The difference is that the bill is denominated in dollars and satisfied in dollars. You have no option but to make sure that the state gets dollars at the end of the day. The state has no interest in holding crypto, never holds or touches crypto and won’t accept it if you go to the tax payers office. If I show up to the tax office with a bag of dollars they are legally obligated to accept it at face value. If I show up with crypto they tell me to go to a third party who will give me a non negotiable rate to turn that crypto into dollars. How are these two situations at all the same?

With dollars you aren’t selling an asset to a third party who then gives dollars to the government on your behalf. You also don’t create an additional reporting burden in regards to the IRS.

I work for a firm that specializes in payments from constituents to governments. I know this space pretty well.
I have a weird background also. I was a self taught software engineer. I learned very fast and aggressively. Then I did a lot of contracting, random attempted side projects and failed startups, short stints here and there. The net result is my resume didn’t look too good. I noticed my colleagues who had well regarded 4 year CS degrees were always inundated in recruiters. It really bothered me because I knew I could work much harder and outlearn them, I was willing to take jobs they weren’t. However, I feel that despite engineering being “in high demand,” there is significant pickiness, they really do want easily identifiable “talent” and would rather fight over that then look at oddballs.

I think front end is a bit of a sewer. It’s why I got out of mobile development. You are competing with boot camp grads, outsourcing and the never ending churn of frameworks.

No one can tell who “is good” at front end development and in fact they don’t actually care. In a recession environment, whatever you are doing, it pays to head in the direction of rarer and harder skills.

Another thought is you might want to look at startups or medium sized companies in general. The reality is that a disordinate amount of focus goes to the top end companies. There are huge numbers of startups and middle tier companies who don’t get the same level of applications or attention.

Startups actually do care who is really good because they have to survive, at least the good ones do.

I also worked on so-called “high profile projects for Fortune 500 clients.” I found that no one actually really cared. Engineers are looked at as cogs. They have a checklist, will you fix my exact situation. No? Next.

You would be smart to look carefully at the resumes and do a realistic assessment. Do you have the exact skills that these companies want? Recruiters use checklists. It’s stupid. But they will just go - do your ten skills match the ten on my req…

Anyways, you may also find many jobs are stale. Just because it’s on LinkedIn or whatever doesn’t mean it’s active. Lot of dead postings out there.

You may have better luck doing informational calls with VPs of Engineering. Just say: “hey, I’m thinking about making a change and haven’t decided what’s next. I really found your tech interesting, do you have 15 minutes for a chat?

Direct outreach works, keep it casual, not depeserate, or needy. Make it clear it’s informational. If a VP engineering or CTO tells the recruiter to look at you, they have to.

Skip the recruiter checklists.
I was thankful, and shocked, the one year of my life that my HVAC system didn't break down in some fashion.

Hot water heaters should have leak detectors on them. They often don't. The higher end models do. Product differentiation strikes again.

Last water heater I had, the anode was A-OK, I had it checked about a year prior to the water heater failing.

Thermal stress destroys stuff.
This is kinda my opinion too.

C is awful, C is terrible, C is almost always the wrong answer.

But when it hits the spot, it's a fantastic wrong answer for a bunch of things.
My ex is a translator at an embassy, and she always said that ai translators are a godsend.

On one side they make their work easier as they can focus more on correcting the ai produced text and focus on author's meaning while eliminating lots of plumbing.

On the other hand they increased the amount of business because much more text is translated than at any other point in history, which requires validation in most business, legal and even personal contexts. Without ai translators those translations would've not happened in the first place.
As I mentioned, I did reconnect to the share while in Wayland, and I did it as I have in Xorg, using the file explorer. So if that's the issue, it's the file explorer and not SMPlayer. Though SMPlayer logs did mention Wayland and authentication error on the same line... so clearly SMPlayer is doing something different in Wayland.

But sure, it could be anything. All I know is if I select Xorg on the login screen things just work, and when I select Wayland things don't.
Been a FE dev now for almost 12 years. I've grown so exhausted by just being a library manager it hurts. I made my intentions to my team recently that I had ever intention of moving over to the back end side.

But it's not just the library management that kills me. It's the complete lack of any form of respect I see time and again in regard to FE. BE folks say something is hard and will take time? They get all the leeway they need. FE says something is hard and will take time or just flat out want to do it right? Now you have 20 people from the marketing department crying foul and claiming the FE team is just lazy. I tell them the specs are incomplete and I get told to just deal with it and make it work. I ask for clarification of interactions and everyone expects me to tell them how the thing they designed should function for a user. I used to love FE because it was the "fireworks"... but lately it just feels like a lot of people have no respect for the craft at all.

At the end of the day I think my organization would kill to just have a FE they could manage like Wix and do away with us. So on to something new...
It's in the article — she seems to have had a substantial role at Tesla and Neuralink's AI teams:

Zilis is a rising star in Musk's empire. Born in Markham, Ontario, Zilis received her bachelor's degree in economics and philosophy in 2008 from Yale, where she also played goalie on the women's ice-hockey team. A lifelong athlete, she has been pictured on social media surfing, zip-lining, and ice climbing. After beginning her career at IBM, she joined the early-stage venture-capital fund Bloomberg Beta, where she led investment efforts in data and machine learning. She was on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in the venture-capital category in 2015.

Zilis met Musk through her work with OpenAI, the artificial-intelligence research-and-deployment nonprofit Musk cofounded in 2015. She serves as the youngest member of OpenAI's board of directors. In 2017, Zilis moved to Tesla, where she was a project director, deploying her AI expertise on the Autopilot and chip-design teams. Today she holds the title of director of operations and special projects for Neuralink, where Musk is a co-CEO. She previously worked as a project director in the CEO's office. She's recently been floated as one of the people Musk could tap to run Twitter after his acquisition.

During Zilis' tenure at Neuralink, the company has conducted surgical trials of its Bluetooth-enabled brain chips on monkeys and pigs and enabled a nine-year-old macaque to play the video game Pong using its brain. Musk has suggested human trials could start by the end of 2022.

Answering "why use maya instead of blender?" is more challenging to answer than it used to be.

Replace maya with zbrush / houdini and it's easier to answer but gets harder every update. I say this with a decade of unity experience but I hope godot follows blender's trajectory!
> gas supplies in question were not covered by sanctions, but Russia tried to unilaterally switch to being paid in roubles

I don’t think this is a very honest characterization:

Russia demanded payment on their terms only after they were kicked out of SWIFT and their reserves frozen by foreign banks.

I don’t think I’d describe that change in payment terms in response to bank sanctions as “unilateral” or unrelated to sanctions.
Yep, internal security is brittle. The initial pdf vector would be only the start of a long sequence of hacks, including social engineering. e.g. sending email from managers -- or slack messages as you mention.
There is no need to install such application imo since macOS supports “Shortcut” app. It is both capable opening applications and websites. And it can close applications/windows as well.
Ending support for hardware made exclusively for an online platform with no offline or local network support is infuriating.

I think it depends on what every other customer does now. If everyone floods the second hand market with second hand, soft-bricked cameras because Amazon hates the planet for some reason, people might buy them and hack them.

I don't expect anyone interested in running their own firmware will be buying spyware from Amazon, though, so existing support is pretty much non-existent. It's only a matter of time before someone will take this opportunity to find security flaws in the software, which will no longer be patched, and hopefully you'll be able to use your camera again.

If you have the space, stuff it into your attic and wait, or get hacking yourself if you have the time. Otherwise, at least take it to a recycler to lessen the environmental impact of this crap just a tiny bit.
Looks like a tactical 'Embrace'.

On top of that, surveillance capitalism is winning over the free software / open source developers as companies like Microsoft are buying out / hiring the majority of them.

The free-software activists from the FSF and other free-software supporters have lost to the tech bros at these big tech companies that have hijacked 'open-source' and ran with it.

They have failed in their mission to stop all this closed-source software from spreading. It looks like it is here to stay; especially with the help of former free software developers.

I guess if you can’t beat them, join them.

Why isn't this built in to every smart phone? No SPoF and provides superior privacy compared to public infrastructure.

Plus it's cool tech like a secret James Bond spy would use.
Well, I started this in 2017 and the first public release was in 2018, so it's been around for quite a while and also predates Andreas video.
Furthermore, it is not meant (just) for messaging, one of our example apps was indeed a messenger but the firmware itself just gives easy ways to send and receive data. We wanted to keep any application logic out of the firmware to make it general purpose (and maintainable).
On the flip side, if your workload can be parallelized across thousands of cores, python has about the best CUDA support anywhere.
It's not really a "fiat". There just aren't any GNOME developers left that are interested in maintaining the X11 parts of the stack. The Mutter developers are actively working on making the remaining X11 parts optional. Xorg itself is not getting any new extensions, all feature work on display protocols relevant to Mutter is currently happening in Wayland extensions and in Mesa. The major problems left there that involve X are related to XWayland. The GTK developers already redesigned the whole client back end to match Wayland. The other pieces of GNOME have long since moved into protocol-agnostic dbus interfaces. What incentive do they have left to maintain X11 support? There just isn't much there besides legacy compatibility.
> There’s a cheap ($20?) add on for our water heater that adds a conductivity sensor in the drip pan, and a shutoff valve on the inlet.

Oh I know, they are awesome. They should come standard, and more people should know about them. It is one of those things I try to bring up in conversations at random, because holy crap the # of people I know who have had water damage from their water heating dramatically failing is too high. Heck it happened to my family twice while I was growing up.

> the plumbed lines don’t actually help with leaks; so they do nothing that a garden hose would not accomplish.

Why not? I've seen places where with a drip pan angled towards a hole connects to a pipe that drains outside.

It should work for slow leaks. Doesn't do anything if the tank bursts of course...

> The right time is when you’re in deep trouble

I mean, I don’t agree with that and neither does Knuth, and it sounds like neither do you, but hey, it’s not up to me to tell anyone other than my own team how to write code or run a business. There are always going to be dev jobs that just don’t care about performance until they’re in trouble and wasting money and time. If what you’re saying is that some dev shops don’t want to consider GPU programming because they don’t care about performance at all, and it would be hard to propose CUDA as a solution there due to the prevailing attitudes, then yeah I agree that’s not the place to learn CUDA. I’d have to agree that’s an obstacle to learning CUDA, but that’s not really CUDA’s fault or a general obstacle to using GPUs, it’s just the wrong place & time. Better to find a job at a company that cares about performance, right? There are lots of them.

FWIW, your phrasing makes it sound like you do hold this opinion, which is why I asked about who believes this. You’re stating it both here and above first as though it’s a general fact before later qualifying it’s someone else’s belief and slightly distancing yourself. I still can’t tell where you really land, but hopefully we’re more violently agreeing that disagreeing. All I’m saying is it would be doing your peers and HN both a service to challenge misinterpretations and misunderstandings of what Knuth was trying to get across, that performance matters (and also that efficient use of your time matters too).
It would be deeply unpopular as it could only be funded by austerity at home, and it would be very short.

Why is Rails in decline? I see a lot of people say they're developing instead with rust, or python, or javascript.

But Rust has little to do with what Ruby/Rails is used for, and Python is mostly used in other fields also (it's not like Django is taking over the world). Every time I look at the various JS frameworks it seems like just a huge lift to get something going versus Rails, for typical SME type business problems. Most problems don't really seem to require SPA.

Things like Elixir/Phoenix look very interesting and promising, but their ecosystem is (for now) much smaller. And just the size of the Elixir community right now suggests that it's not like all the RoR developers went to Elixir.

So what is the thing that is so much more attractive than Rails, to solve your everyday business logic issues for small to medium scale problems?

Does all engineers and companies think they are solving Google-scale problems or something?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

In the unlikely case you haven't already read it about the only time I got C to do what I wanted without just segfaulting everywhere (my mistakes) was using djb's substdio.

And really, people are not keen to give up quality if life to exclude immigrants, they've been suckered into believing immigrants are a burden on the state and are DESTROYING OUR CULTURE BY CAUSING MULTICULTURALISM. Yes, multiculturalism, the recognition that people of various cultures can benefit from that mixing ideas, is a curse word for the right-separatists. As if a few North African restaurants and a couple of mosques will cause Québécois culture to disintegrate.

Quebec has been next to the USA and anglophone Canada for it's entire existence and every American or Ontarian concept has been molded to suit, but has never replaced a local tradition unless the local wanted it to.
