I'll use my own example, I purchased a month of a VPN service using BTC when it was ~11k, it's about $5 in fiat per month.

If you believe BTC will only go up, I don't see why you would want to spend it if your money will be worth more if you wait.

Regarding Volatility, yes it leads to a lot of trading, I mean means of exchange as purchasing everyday goods. The transaction history of BTC also adds regulatory hurdles.
>> Nobody is ready for that scenario because they think it's impossible.

Stagflation? Of course it's possible, that was the 1970's. The question is if the Fed is willing to do the unpopular thing needed to stop it. And then the follow-on is weather congress is willing to address the federal budget and pay down the debt (obviously not since they already missed the chance to do it before rates rise) painful as that will be.

As long as we're all fucked together (including rich people and wall street) I think we'll be OK in the end. It's the trying to play favorites that is probably causing the most damage.
I wish the display of
"Trendline' and "worst Drawdown" at the top would be calculated based on the selected time interval at the bottom.

For index that have existed for a long time it make comparing with other index hard if we always include the full history.
Op here. Thanks! I also wish there were more indie hackers featured on HN sprinkled in here and there. Some of us are working on cool and useful stuff too! :)
Something to consider would be pointing a directed beam of sound towards the microphone. Bonus points if it’s an endless loop of you saying “I like to spy on my neighbors” over and over again.
And at least on iOS it works nicely with the native file system
That makes no sense. I wouldn't have to keep repeating myself if crypto people didn't also do the same thing. Also, please don't describe the act of disagreeing as being "in hysterics", that's bad discussion.
There has been several published accounts from different people involved, all of which differ. The story the GP published is one such version (I’ve read that account elsewhere, published as first hand).

AFAIK there isn’t even a popular opinion since most people tend to agree we will never know the truth. And of those who do have an opinion, those opinions have been largely split (as evidenced by the comments on here).

So I have no idea why you’re so confident in your assertion but it is entirely misplaced.

They are just a bookmark, but on Windows, they become a first class citizen on your task bar.

If you are the type to have a ton of tabs open across many windows, this also makes the "app" easier to spot.

You can also pin the app to the taskbar and have it launch with Windows.
> First, they're taking a stand based on principal.

I'm all for that, but taking a stand doesn't benefit the individual. Taking a stand is for the benefit of society and requires the collaboration of society

> Assuming they're on good terms with their neighbors, this request should be pretty easy and quick to fulfill. If they're not, local PD can still get a warrant for the footage.

yes and that process is just objectively much more difficult than pulling the data from your own camera, which takes all of five seconds versus an order from a judge. That means they're life is worse.
By the same logic, anything you do on a custodial exchange could never be a taxable event because it's never settled on-chain. I'd be extremely surprised if the IRS would share your view.
The fee is the most common issue cited by employers.

I generally respond (as a candidate) to get a sense of the problem. I can assure you that bad representation is the biggest problem. It’s not uncommon for recruiters to say something really problematic (bluntly racist or sexist) or impose excessive interview steps to filter candidates, without knowledge of the industry. I often know the hiring manager well enough to give feedback and they are generally horrified.
Implementing fault-tolerant services using the state machine approach
Have you read the article?

Greyball is a "fake version" of the Uber app. The Uber app displays a live map of driver locations. If the app thinks you're a cop, it will display fake locations.

> This part isn't about the app. It is about making data inaccessible at an office should the authorities enter that office - equivalent to quickly ramming documents through the shredder when you see an auditor approaching the building.

It's literally nothing to do with that.
No context given, how do you expect reasonable answers?

Just some things that would majorly influence what the appropriate actions would be:

1) Does the 18 y/o (an adult, by the way!) have a job already, and this is how they spend their free time?

2) Have the family tried the revolutionary tactic of talking to each other about their concerns?

2a) If so, what were the results of the conversations?

3) Is there other influencing factors (e.g. social anxiety, other underlying medical conditions, etc.) that aren't being addressed?

4) Did the behavior start recently? If so, what triggered the change? If not, why is it suddenly a problem?

5) What is the end goal? Have them move out? Have them be more physically fit? Contribute more to the household?

Edit:

Reading through some of these comments is disheartening. It sounds like a bunch of managers figuring out the best ways to discipline an employee rather than parents trying to foster healthy relationships with their kids and encourage healthy lifestyles. Being a parent requires effort, not just stripping your kids of every luxury or slightly positive aspect of their life until they become the model robot/employee.
Problem is they don't actually use just the notification part, they actually illuminate the whole display at the minimum brightness setting, which isn't 0 for third-party applications. You can notice this if you let your eyes adjust to a room with no other lights. The power drain for eight or ten hours of this is more than you'd think. I still use it, but it's definitely not a painless replacement.
I mean if it's me I'm trying to read a single wsj or FT article, and there's no way to do that, so I'm unsubscribing asap as a signal to the publication to be less shitty

not entirely their fault -- the entire electronic payments system has evolved to make non in person micropayments difficult

also possible pubs aren't confident enough in the value prop of individual articles to price them

I hate virtual economies + in-game currencies but for newspapers specifically, as an alternative to subscription-gating, it might be an improvement

anonymity is also a consideration; KYC fine, but the payment processor can know who I am without telling the content vendor

This could be cool. I've worked at places in the past that have essentially tried to roll their own tool like this, which I think was pretty resource-intensive. I never worked on those directly, so I don't know if this would fully meet the requirements those tools did.
It's quite light on details: What properties does the (virtualized) ARM CPU that one gets have? Can it do KVM itself (meaning the underlying real CPU has support for nested KVM)? Can it do ARMv8.3 pointer authentication?
To answer my own question:

If you are muted you can press spacebar to temporarily unmute yourself. Look for it in the options.
Not everything is a question of "does it collect data", actually.

They're collecting _some_ value from individuals, whether you understand it or not.

Your comment reminds me of Facebook's disingenuous "we we're not _selling_ the data", which just a way of distracting from the real issue. This isn't about data, it's about yet another incremental stripping down of individual's control over their intrinsics.
This sounds like an alternative form of "Is JavaScript or Python better for web scraping?" (Personally I use C# for that but I digress.)

Without being familiar with the setup of the egress server and whether there's an API for posting things to Wix I suspect the answer is "It's almost certainly possible"... hopefully someone with experience in Wix can chime in with some suggestions? The way I would personally look at doing it is making a web scraper that pulls from the existing site, extracts the data for posting to Wix, and hopefully there's a programmatic way to get it up to Wix. If not... I would at least scrape into a format that makes copying and pasting one-by-one as fast as possible.
So don't take my position to the extremes.

Top level comment was a very general blanket statement. I'm saying there's a middle ground.
DoorDash is ruining the reputation of a legitimate business. The correct approach is "fuck DoorDash".

Delivery economics makes sense when the restaurant is doing it because the delivery drivers are also employees helping to make the order. They are getting paid for each hour they work and the stores have a set delivery area and a base.
> I think a kinder reading of this point is “a 2xx response means you can parse the thing you were expecting to parse”

It doesn’t though.

Even with an Accept header on the request, it is not impermissible for a server to return a 2xx result with a different format indicated by the Content-Type header if it cannot, for whatever reason, return a result in a requested format (it may also, consistent with the HTTP spec, return a 406 Not Acceptable or, if it wants to be cagey about a resource representation existing if there is none matching the Accept header, 404 instead.)

If you want to know whether and how you can safely parse the response, the HTTP compliant way is to read the Content-Type header. Otherwise, you are relying on assumptions (which may be valid for out-of-band, non-HTTP reasons) about behavior that are outside of the spec.
I feel like this advice is the best that I've skimmed through here.

I am still this kid (though now older and working). All the people calling to just unilaterally cut all computer access make me wonder if they themselves even remember being 18 or lived similar to this way when they were that age.
I've never understood the argument that you should not optimize your own working environment (IDE/editor customization, alternate keyboard layouts, shell aliases, custom hotkeys, scripts, etc.) because it could be unfamiliar to someone else. I've also heard it in the context of, you shouldn't stray too far from the defaults because if you sit down to use a colleagues' computer, you will be out of your element. Unless your job is to pair program full time, or perhaps you're creating educational screencasts, maybe? If you slowly build out your own personal setup over time, presumably you should still always be able to explain what it is that you're doing at each step.
You will own nothing (phone), and you will be happy.
I actually like the website and what they are trying to do. To me the biggest problem is the design of the phone itself: it's got an interesting LED notification thing going on, but besides that it's a knock-off of the iPhone

I don't want to use a phone that feels like an imitation of someone else's design; I want to use a phone that has its own unique vibe.

(On the website: It's so refreshing to use a website that just scrolls naturally. Compare to Apple's product pages which all hijack the scroll in really terrible ways these days.)
I've seen those and I wouldn't describe them as "blockchains" in the same sense that cryptocurrencies use it. The word seems to only be used for marketing purposes. Those are just an ordinary ledger with some sharding/mirroring.
This was my plan too, but when they hit middle school and are literally the only kid without a phone, and it is the difference between being invited places vs not, it just doesn't work.
UberEats in Canada inflates the regular menu price as well.
Lol— I had a friend whose parents took this approach. The parents eventually gave in because they got tired of never being able to reach their son through failed attempts to call friends (like me) in an effort to reach him.

Also big difference between an 8 year old and 15 year old (still not really working age but definitely socializing independently age).
Close to 10 years. I don’t take naps but I feel your struggle - it is uncomfortable to wake up wearing lenses, for sure. My eyes do not get dry (I use BL Biotrue dailies FWIW), but individual physiology is definitely a factor. I do quite a bit of active stuff, like volleyball, bicycle, snorkeling and managing glasses in these settings is a hassle for me.
I don't think the urban/suburban divide really covers it, though. I live in a city, in a neighborhood with an okay amount of local retail, but I still order a lot of stuff online and have it delivered.

I usually get my groceries delivered. It saves me an hour of driving to the grocery store, shopping, paying, driving home, and making several trips up and down four flights of stairs to bring the items home. I'm totally happy to pay a delivery charge and a tip to not have to deal with that. Yes, I do walk to the local grocery if I just need a couple items, but I usually do a larger delivery grocery order around once a month.

Neighborhood stores can't stock everything, especially in a city where space is expensive. Looking through my last 3 months of Amazon orders (24 orders), I see only three items that I could have gotten by walking somewhere locally, and they were all things that were part of a larger order that was mostly stuff I could not get locally. And that's just Amazon; I definitely have purchases from other online retailers over the past three months, and for the most part I'd guess they're all things I couldn't get within walking distance either.

My neighborhood shines when it comes to restaurants, bars, parks, and personal services (hair cuts, mani/pedi, that sort of thing). A good variety of groceries are available within walking distance, and even some more exotic stuff (there's a high-end cake bakery a couple blocks away, for example), but otherwise most regular purchases aren't easily fulfilled with a short walk. Most of those other purchases would require a 45-60 minute bus ride, or a 15-20 minute drive (with no guarantee of finding what I want). And if I need to do that, I'll probably just order it online instead.

I do agree that the situation isn't ideal. I generate a lot of cardboard and paper recycling waste, though fortunately not that much plastic. I'm not sure about fuel usage: if I have to drive somewhere to buy something, it might be a wash compared to a delivery vehicle bringing it to me. And the package theft problem (and the "solutions") we've created for ourselves is ridiculous.
I am referring to a recent spate in unusual comments on top posts that link to reaction-image like clips hosted by kapwing.

I'm trying to find some examples, but naturally there's none to be seen as soon as I look.

The comments contain unusual English, perhaps computer generated, and consist of an initial sentence, followed by a quoted hyperlinked sentence linking to kapwing.

I assumed these were an attempt by kapwing, and if that's not the case, I apologise for my accusation.
ClassPass is one example I recently ran into. I’ve already bought credits for the month and am planning to cancel my current plan, but if I do I immediately forfeit my (prepaid!) credits.

Functional Programming Library for C++

A lot of languages, like Erlang/BEAM, use pointers under the hood and aren't necessarily copying anything.
I didn't say he was crazy, just that people would call me crazy here (in Germany) if I evangelized stuff like he does.
I do keep one copy offsite. However, I'm not against cloud backups, I just prioritized setting up my local setup first so that I'm not dependent on the cloud. If I have 2 HDDs + backblaze and one HDD dies, it would be a pain to download 10TB of data from backblaze to set up the replacement HDD. I totally understand your point about running a NAS and I've actively tried to avoid setting one up. My storage system is entirely external HDDs. I want to expand to a NAS in the future but that'll be for fun, not backup (at least until I can afford 3 separate NAS instances for backup).

That being said, do you have any advice on how to encrypt data before uploading to cloud? I'm not at that stage yet so I haven't done deep research, but I've heard of things like veracrypt/truecrypt? And I've heard enough good things about backblaze (and enough bad things about other companies like google) that I'd be comfortable going with them if the price is in my budget and if I can just figure out the encryption angle.
Problem with citing the pandemic is the dissonance that red folk were very against shutting things down for just this reason. Meanwhile resurgence of COVID proved the shutdowns did little on a 5 year timescale
One of the really fun experiences I've had with SPARK/Frama-C/some dependently typed languages was moving runtime tests into the contracts.

Your function only works on arrays of a certain length? Rip out the test-and-return-error code. Skip asserts (that get removed if you optimize). Put the check in the contract and the code won't compile unless the array is appropriate---which might involve a test at a higher level, where the error is easier to handle---and you get zero run-time cost.
Supply chain issues are killing everyone.

You want to build a product? Great, here's the list of what you can't get this week. It's different from last week, next week will be different too. Good luck!

Parts that used to cost $0.50 are now $5+ (various ADCs and DACs come to mind as one I've been dealing with). God help you if you want trailer axles. Etc.

There's only so much you can do with flexibility and "Redesign every few weeks for what's available for this batch" before your design costs and parts cost increases chew up all the available profits, even if you've designed for flexibility. "We can use any uC in this entire line!" "That line is on 54 week lead time. Yes, all the variants."

Such is life in the decline.
Given how hard MS has been pushing RTO, and how unlikely they are to be Mac users, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just don’t feel the pain like everyone else and therefore don’t care.
Indeed. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for developers to enable CD. It's still super early in this space, as shown by the fact that most companies have homegrown tooling (usually some scripts on top of Jenkins). It shouldn't be that way. When you think about other categories within DevOps (observability, security, alerting) there are many out-of-the-box tools to choose from such that one would never say "I think I'll build an observability tool from scratch here".
It's an Ampere Altra for those first instances. So no on both.

How is it exploitation when both parties voluntarily engage in an agreement? Is anyone forced or coerced here? Is there any ambiguity or deceiving language?

It is better than calling it "Unlimited Vacation" and then leaving it up at discretion. They're being up-front and honest about it. It should be totally OK to advertise a job with 0 vacation days. We're talking about fully functional and grown up adults who have great college education who can make that decision if they would like to take on a high-responsibility and high-risk job.

In fact, I would argue the complete opposite. Doing anything else is interference and forceful coercion.
My point was that the contract to purchase waived inspection results (aka percentage of accounts being bots, etc.) being a cause for breach of contract. That diligence can still happen, it just can't be used to back out of the contract.

Any analogy breaks down. I thought this was a good one because in the current housing market many buyers have to waive inspections as a contingency because of bidding wars, etc. They can still get the inspections done though (and should).
sales tax, not income tax. someone has to calculate, report, and remit it for all these micro transactions somehow. I thought that is what GP was referring to , may be mistaken.

In that context cap gains vs other sorts of income is irrelevant.
It's also a pile of shit CPU-wise when trying to actually do anything with it, so lots of memory alone wouldn't help.
You're right, it's a hack. Doesn't mean it's wrong and doesn't work though.

BTC stopped being practical for small payments when it got expensive. This is a way to make small, everyday payments cheap again. I'm not going to use LN to transfer large payments. "just DoS the watchtowers" is impracticle for a cup of coffee. Your second point is just plain false and there are many ways around those.
this is pure genius.
Where's night? Does 'twilight' include night? I thought that it was a separate phase before/after night?

In addition to that, they pay a lot for the service... someone I know just had 3 cameras installed and pays $80 a month for cloud storage...

>> IIRC most of their revenue comes from Unity Ads

This was and is a really interesting business for them and I still think it is a great way for them to grow.

Unity is so entrenched in the game business that if they were seriously worried about profitability they could just raise their prices and curtail investment and they would have a solid business. Like many unicorns they have been favoring growth. But at their core they have a solid product that people who make a lot of money depend on. Yes, 99% of game developer make zero or less, but its a huge industry and some very profitable developers / publishers use Unity extensively.
I share similar frustrations and resort to Zoom for screen sharing because sharing screen with code editor is miles better on Zoom.
