That’s probably legally true in the US, but is that the best we can do?

It’s valid to question the value of laws. Sometimes I wish I did have more privacy in public.

But more importantly, technology has completely changed what non-privacy looks like and is tragic to me that laws haven’t caught up.

There’s a huge practical difference between “someone within 100ft, probably a neighbour who I know, might hear me and probably instantly forget what I said, but 99% of the time no one is there” and “100% of your conversations are recorded, transcribed, and stored forever by a profit-maximising behemoth with various other unavoidable tentacles into my life, and also they might sell or give that data to other companies also the police”.

Re 2.: unless they plan to simultaneously support multiple major versions, they kind of do. Maybe not right away, but once the main branch of development is based on the new major version, that's the highest priority moving forward. All older versions might get backported bug fixes, but that's it.
Named after Haskell Brooks Curry. The Brook programming language is also named after him!

While I agree with much of what he says, such as the pyramid-like nature of investing in bitcoin, I do take issue with these:

Q. What about decentralization?

A. It is the only thing that blockchain could contribute: the absence of a central authority. But that only creates problems.

He should at least acknowledge that lack of a central authority solves some important problems.

Q. But it allows you to avoid a government or central bank.

A. Bitcoin has six pools that control 80% of the mining power. Therefore, they can control what goes into the blocks.

Those pools consist of many thousands of miners, many of whom will be eager to switch pools when presented with evidence of pool collusion and misbehaviour.

I do think he is spot-on about the deflationary emission:

Q. What did he miscalculate?

A. Two things. ... The second thing is that Satoshi believed that inflation was bad. He set a limit so that there would be no inflation. But already in 2009 the first bitcoin user after Satoshi saw that it was best to keep it because it would be more valuable in the future if he started hoarding. Instead of a coin it became something to invest and hold. That’s terrible for money.

A disinflationary emission, such as a pure linear one that results from a fixed block reward, would prevent rampant speculation, and encourage use as a currency. Bitcoin would not be something to invest in, but something to buy in order to transact in.
Great article. There wasn’t much legislators did to combat the too big to fail banks, but the Durbin amendment was certainly an effective boost for small banks to compete for Fintechs. It’s why Chase’s Jamie Dimon is now so vocal about changing these rules.

Ask HN: How Resilient Is the Internet?
If there was an economic crisis on the order of the great depression, or if, for whatever reason, the us government fell, would the internet still exist in its current state? It seems like too much of it is supported by companies that could easily go out of business and then take with it much of the internet infrastructure they support. Is this a likely scenario?
Rusts wasm32-wasi and wasm32-unknown-unknown targets don't depend on Emscripten and they've been the preferred ways of targeting wasm for years now.

There is a wasm32-unknown-emscripten target but I think that's basically on life support if not outright deprecated. It was only really a stop-gap until native tooling like wasm_bindgen got fleshed out.
I will just add a note about publishers: if your project is not using Unreal / Unity most huge publishers just wont be interested. It has nothing to do with Godot console support or anything else about Godot itself.

Basically all big publishers have their own pipeline and in-house teams for porting / QA / certification and it's all built around Unity or Unreal. So it's all about market share.

So yeah choosing Godot will certainly limit your options in terms of what publishers might fund your project.
One of the best essays of my youth. Launched a decade long quest to understand and use lisp. The most surprising thing is there people still dismiss it. Irony of ironies is that the dismissal comes on a site powered by lisp. Indeed, HN wouldn’t have been possible without it.

I went back and read it again, and unsurprisingly pg addressed this point too:

> But I don't expect to convince anyone (over 25) to go out and learn Lisp. The purpose of this article is not to change anyone's mind, but to reassure people already interested in using Lisp-- people who know that Lisp is a powerful language, but worry because it isn't widely used. In a competitive situation, that's an advantage. Lisp's power is multiplied by the fact that your competitors don't get it.

Every time you feel like discounting Lisp, just remember “The world wouldn’t have Hacker News.”

I think this is generally true, but do you think that fascism might be a historically contingent politics, as dead as Stalinism in a practical sense, and equally unrevivable? Fascism proved to be quite politically sterile in the nations that were spared forcible political correction following World War 2.

What is fascism to you exactly? Stanley's outline is insufficient I think because it considers all right politics to be on a pathway to fascism, which ignores the different kinds of right politics that have existed throughout history, as well as the reality of fascism itself.

Matt Levine posted an outcome that seems pretty plausible.

Twitter settles and buys Musk's shares for $0 worth ~$2.6b at current price.

But it would stop Musk strategically dumping the stock and so could be worth much higher to Twitter.
Yes (exhausting). But there's an addiction to novelty (and a denial that it exists) in JavaScript that inevitably hobbles even the best ideas.
It seems to me that, at some level, they must be subsidized by new buyers of filecoin. It's hard to imagine anyone providing storage so cheaply even if they didn't make any profit at all. Miner revenues have to come from somewhere.

What I want to know is whether a good equilibrium is available. Say some decentralized apps with significant storage requirements win big over the next five years, and the filecoin network starts seeing a more moderate level of usage. Assume also that sentiment normalizes so that the filecoin market starts viewing filecoin as a service token for storage and retrieval, not as a speculative investment. Is the network still competitive with centralized storage providers, and how does the filecoin supply inflate over time as the network operates?
well I'm living in Guatemala at Lake Atitlan. We have quite a movement of crypto enthusiasm so the people that are using it are "normal" people who are part of that crypto group. We also have a Lamassu "cryptomat" for people to exchange the local currency to Bitcoin and the crypto group has been advocating people to use Muun wallet, which is easy for the average person to kind of have on-chain and lightning capability.
Short of preventing JS from triggering redirects, I don't see a way they could, and that's a pretty important feature in modern web apps.

Show HN: A benchmark for analytical databases (Snowflake, Druid, Redshift)
I created a web page to compare different analytical databases (both self-managed and services, open-source and proprietary) on a realistic dataset.
It contains 20+ databases, each with installation and data loading scripts. And they can be compared to each other on a set of 43 queries, by data load time or by storage size.

There are switches to select different types of databases for comparison - for example, only MySQL compatible or PostgreSQL compatible.

If you play with the switches, many interesting details will be uncovered.

Ask HN: How did I start seeing ads from a one time mention on a telegram call?
I'm not a watch owner, never watched any videos, never looked them up etc, closest I am to the apple eco is my iphone. Last night my gf called me on Telegram and told me she would be getting me the "Apple Watch Series 7", exact words, that was the only mention and we talked about other stuff before I went to bed. This morning I opened twitter and lo and behold a big sponsored for the S7 watch https://i.imgur.com/2vLvjEy.jpg.

I never mentioned it after or looked it up and this was on a e2e telegram video call. How is this possible? I've also never seen this ad before because I tend to pay attention and mute them.
Hardly at all these days. The quality of answers seems to have fallen off a cliff.

There’s another reason I use it less. Developer documentation has gotten so much better over the past 10 years.

There’s hardly a case where I have a question that isn’t answered by official docs any more.

I’m guessing at least part of this is due to open source documentation. A lot of new engineers want to get contributions in GitHub as part of their CV. It’s super easy to contribute to docs in our current model.

It’s an interesting dynamic.
And "screw" in Italian.
My friend and I did something like what you propose (selling services and working on a product). It was hard and slowed us down a lot.

Consulting work is a business all to itself. Tacking a startup on top of that just complicates matters. Got a family? Well, you won’t see them much.

If I were in the same situation, I’d keep my day job and spend my spare time working on the product. This approach would cover living expenses, compartmentalize my tasks, and allow me to put all of my non-job hours into the product.

Like you, we tried to start our company the “right” way. That too was a mistake. If I had it to do over again, I’d skip the lawyers and accountants and just try to make a product people wanted to buy.

If you can achieve product-market fit, funding and all of the business stuff can get sorted out reasonably easily.

A single solid scratch might be caused by an accident of sorts, this can always happen.

I assume the implication is that doing off-chain transactions defeats the purpose of Bitcoin? It does not.

Did you know that fiat doesn't even have a blockchain to withdraw to when you want to exit or switch payment network/provider?[0] Did you know that with fiat, the money supply can be changed arbitrarily?

Those are problems that Bitcoin still solves when you use an off-chain transaction network (at least for the many people who believe those are problems worth solving). Also, it's worth noting that the Lightning network is hardly centralized. It's a bit more centralized than Bitcoin but we're light years away from say, Paypal.

[0] The closest that comes to this is SWIFT, but it's not an open network. Even large payment systems like Paypal aren't connected to it. It's also not censorship resistant and you can't use it p2p.
> the speed is close to native

The numbers I seen suggest wasm is 3-5x slower then native which isn't bad IMO. JavaScript is also 3-5x slower than native. Is JS close to native speed? I don't think you can say it about one but not the other
Entropy.

It was hard for me to understand this arbitrary rule of things becoming less ordered over time. Was this just a fundamental natural law?

The answer is no. Entropy is a logical consequence of probability and time.

Why do things become more chaotic over time? Because chaotic configurations have a higher probability of occurring.

There are far more disordered configurations of things then there are ordered, this is why things become more disorder with time. Time changes the configuration. And by probability a high probability configuration is more likely to occur then a low probability configuration. So the axiom of nature here is not entropy, it's probability. Entropy is just a consequence of probability.

There are systems where ordered configurations are more numerous then disordered configuration and in those systems things become more ordered with time. In these cases entropy is STILL defined to be increasing as things get more ordered. Thus entropy is not describing disorder, or is it?

The thing I don't fully understand yet is heat entropy. Apparently when you take heat into account for everything, the disordered intuition suddenly becomes applicable. So if you have a system becoming more ordered with time, heat must be increasing somewhere to offset this increase in order. Maybe someone can explain this part to me?
No, the money doesn't have to go anywhere. Nor does it have to come from anywhere when everything goes up at once. Because there is no money involved. It's sort of like asking "where do the pounds go when I lose weight?"

You are conflating using "dollars" when used as a unit to measure the value something, with "dollars" as an asset in the economy when used to conduct trade. This confusion is easy to make (and widespread) because we use the same word for both things.

The vast majority of wealth in an economy is not in monetary form. It's in hard and soft assets: land, buildings, cars/trucks, factories, raw materials, home appliances, copyrights, patents, film libraries, etc. The economic value of all those things is just measured in dollars.

> - Distributed systems. Everything is distributed these days with NUMA, cache coherency, PCI transactions, etc. You’ll have to know how to use the right kind of atomic memory ordering, debug lockless algorithms, and know how the OS scheduler works at a deep level. If this doesn’t excite you, the job might not be a good fit.

I'm familiar with the things you mentioned, except PCI transactions. In this context, do you also have to deal with distributed transactions, lost responses, eventual consistency, and the like? Do you have to account for "response lost, don't know if it went through" situations?

Definitely going for it after all the responses here :)

Incidentally overhearing a conversation and recording 24/7 then uploading anything interesting to a third party's servers for them to do who knows what with it feels very different.

I'm curious what others think of the ethics of a non-internet connected camera? Does that really resolve the issue or do you still consider it wrong to have residential security cameras that capture the sidewalk/street outside the house?
Nothing. There's nothing that I fully understand because there's always another level deeper you can go.
> This allows you to capture the actual high value of your invention while also allowing low-value products to benefit from it.

It allows you to predate on the added value of the product being solved. If your invention is a small feature of a huge product, you don't have any reason at all to tax the entire functionality.

But well, anyway, on practice, this is mostly used as a way to create anti-competitive deals, where some circumstances allow for a few companies to create products with those patents, while most are left owning 10000% of their product's price.

This is called a strawman argument.
Noun.
It can vary a lot.

If a short story is made into a movie, the first step is for the production company to secure the rights to the IP. This is usually done through an options contract, wherein the writer sells the production company the exclusive but time-limited write to make a film adaptation. When their option period expires, the production company has to either renew the option for more money, or give up on the project.

How much money an option sells for depends on the profiles of both the author and the producer/studio involved. My first option contract for short fiction was $2500 for a one year exclusive option--slightly more than I made when I published the story originally. My most recent option contract was $12,500 for an 18 month exclusivity period.

Authors with large backlists can have lots of option contracts always expiring and renewing, and often have this as a meaningful income stream even if nothing ever actually gets produced.
"Not one word there about Elon Musk's personality."

Why would there be? The article is a legal analysis of the likely outcomes of Twitter's suit, a topic of obvious interest to any WSJ readers thinking about buying/selling Twitter stock, as well as any who are interested in the broader implications of Musk taking control of Twitter, or not. It's not so clear that WSJ readers are interested in Musk's personality, and even if they are, there's no reason to think that a writer qualified to comment on legal issues will also be a qualified psychologist.

Interesting. I had not known that. I tested it in Firefox and Chrome. While they both display a spoofed URL in the status bar when hovered, they differ if you right-click the link. In Chrome, nothing changes. In Firefox the status bar string changes to the actual, not spoofed URL.

I think that just furthers the point- there isn't enough 'money' in M2 to 'pay' for all the stocks in the stock market. Yet there that value sits and real estate is another 20+ trillion in land value.

In other words the actual 'money' is a transactional grease for the wheels of commerce- notational/bookkeeping mechanism.

The sale of Apple (the largest value stock in America) as a whole probably couldn't be accomplished in cash only, but even if it was, it'd be mostly notational numbers in an account somewhere and wouldn't 'flood the market' with dollars and crash the value of the currency.
I also read that specific book/chapter where he discusses 10 000 hours, and the implication based on his bill gates and hockey example, were as you said, that it is a necessary condition. And those examples in particular I think point out how having had the time and experience to get ahead of your "cohort" (people of a similar age or time period)
You settle on the main chain, which has to follow consensus rules. It does matter.

I'm not an economist, I'm just a guy, but when I look at the big picture, I see nothing but opportunity. We need more houses, which means construction and jobs. We don't have enough skilled labor, yet we have loads of people who say they want better paying jobs, IE: it's a training / skills problem and it's a pay problem, it's not entirely a bodies problem. We're at the start of a mass switchover to renewable energy in the world economy, and that's only going to mean jobs, revenue, innovation, etc. It's easier and cheaper than ever to innovate with software, meaning entrepreneurial opportunities. While college is expensive, access to education and information is borderline free, meaning more people can be more knowledgeable than at any time in history. Point is - all of these things should be economic catalysts and any recession is bound to be short-lived, especially since in the big picture the past few have all been relatively brief and there were clearer reasons for those to have occurred.

Someone will probably talk about cost of capital and that kind of thing, but there's always money sitting on the sidelines somewhere and the market has a way of adapting to these things too.

It sounds like you might have some misunderstanding. You can write SSR applications with Vite, but each framework or application is responsible for the rendering. There isn't really such a thing as an SSR runtime in Vite. It will run code on the development server in SSR mode, but all it does is make sure it's picking up code updates and passes it through to Node.js.
