As I mentioned in another thread, this is where MobileCoin excels. I encourage people to give it a try.

The only problem right now is buying the MobileCoin in the first place. I live in the U.S. and the process was, uh, sketchy at best.

But if the payer in the transaction already has MobileCoin, it's a breeze from there. If your mom can do Venmo, she can do it. It's instant, fees are basically zero, it shows you the dollar amount, and it comes with the same strong privacy as Signal itself.

From what I have seen, MobileCoin is positioned to be the winner on all fronts. It's the only cryptocurrency I've ever seen that actually feels usable -- and I'm including back when Bitcoin was $10 and you could actually send transactions on the network.

The mysterious inner life of the octopus
Make it how far? End up in a reality show, joining the likes of Honey Booboo? Born into money with all of the trappings, benefits, opportunities it presents and likely eventually to be able to steer her life taking advantage of her situation?

This reply seems to paint me in a negative light asserting that I “expected her to be stupid”, which you will have to take my word for, I had no such expectations. Whatever impressions of her I have acquired were born of an observation of her public persona.

I am not Paris Hilton watcher, I haven’t heard of her since the show, and have made no notice of some feat of intelligence associated with her name.

I would welcome some evidence of her alleged high intelligence, but I guess I’ll look it up myself if such exists.
higher pay doesn't equate to less work life balance. This is major misconception that has no basis in reality.

My theory is that it's because most people using Bash are not interested in it per se (in the way, say, many C programmers are interested in its intrinsics) but in solving a problem, and Bash can let you solve it in several different ways. So you solve the problem and maybe don't use Bash for a few days and then again you need to solve another problem, maybe completely different. Personally I rediscover certain aspects of Bash every few years just because of that. I'm not going to read the whole Bash manual from the beginning till the end in the same way I read K&R because it makes no sense - I can solve my problem in 2 minutes and get on with my main work.

This was on fedora 36... mostly screen will not wake from sleep, but also black lines on the screen, and complete signal mess up where I can barely see what's happening. I tried everything, like switched from hdmi to display port cables, installed latest drivers from nvidia, still it's a mess. Wasted countless hours jerking around with it. It was so unusable and gave up even trying any more a couple months ago. Maybe will try in a few more months because I would really like to use the machine with an external monitor.

I have learned my lesson, and will NEVER buy another nvidia product, not worth the trouble.
I would argue that yes, it is more immoral. The employee that you are paying is being paid under a willing buyer/willing seller standard.

It's fair to argue whether it is moral to pay people less than what you think they are worth to you. That is questioning the morality of capitalism.

In contrast, "fighting fire with fire" is justifying lying. Maybe the ends justify the means in specific cases, but I believe that generally people and particularly ethicists agree that lying for personal gain is generally considered immoral/unethical. Of course, there are cases where lying is considered justified and the moral thing to do e.g. saying no if a Nazi asks you if you're hiding Jews in your attic. But in that case, you're lying not so much for personal gain but to help others.
Heck, if you live in a city with a techie population, then buy a bunch of cards, throw them in a bucket, then sell them for a 1% markup, in cash, at any tech meetup you attend. Buy more cards periodically and toss them into the bucket for people to pull at random, so there's no plausible correlation between time of issuance and time of use. This also covers your own tracks as well, if you ever need a VPN.
Lots of people switch jobs to get a promotion. Its much easier to find a company that will give you a higher level and boomerang back into your original job than fight for a promotion.
You can't use HN for nationalistic flamewar, and we ban accounts that do, so please don't post like this again.

I realize that other commenters have been doing it in this thread, too, but your comments stand out as particularly hellish, between this one and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32240516, which I can't believe anyone would post to HN—at least not any user with an established commenting history.

Of course I understand that there are deep emotions here, deep history, and also that there is a war going on which not only touches on these wounds but reopens them wide. Nevertheless you can't post like this to Hacker News, for reasons that should be clear if you review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Please review the guidelines and don't do this again.

There's another point, too. You've posted the same kind of thing in the past:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31997340 on a completely unrelated topic. In other words, this pattern of breaking the guidelines isn't just about the understandable emotions of the current moment—it also exists separately from that. So please correct this pattern, not just on one topic, but on all of them.

You're a good HN user otherwise and welcome here, but we can't allow accounts to be good users some of the time and burn the place down other times.

> Just remember the aggressions from likes of France

What? We must not have the same history books. In none of the French-German wars was the German side (or Prussia before that, or the HRE even before) an innocent victim.

And, to be clear, everyone sleepwalked into WWI, sure (though it wasn’t France’s fault any more than Germany’s), but there is absolutely no justification whatsoever for WWII. I cannot believe someone would even write that.

> Historically thinking Ukraine is just continuation of constant wars in Europe.

I grant you that. Though Russia’s justifications are about as credible as Hitler’s were.
To me it's the exact opposite, OpenLook was just UGLY. CDE/Motif didn't look that great either, but it was at least serviceable.

It's very telling that no one at Sun would look at OpenLook and recognize it as ugly. Sun was an engineering company, the entire company, from the CEO on down, had no taste.

Well, the space is remote support and assistance, not "using it several times with family and friends", we already have a bunch of tools for that.

Besides good UX, you need at least a Microsoft signed driver for efficient capture. You need extensive testing on a wide (and wild) variety of legacy hardware and OSes.

You can have that experience as well in an american mid-sized city or a large exurb in an area where you can only access work or a grocery store in a private car. I have lived in such places in fact. So I'm not at all convinced that accessible transit creates slumlords or whatever the argument even is there.

You can make shitty places to live with or without cars. That's not an argument, in itself, for making them with cars.
For businesses where a significant percentage of customer LTV is in the expand phase, I'm surprised it's not more commonplace to have AEs take on the role of customer success. The AE usually has a lot of context about the customer that is likely to be lost in the transition to a CSM. Doing this also has the benefit of not needing to pay two people for the expansion.

> Wanting more privacy can be an ends in itself.

People who are willing to jump through hoops to marginally increase their privacy and the companies willing to similarly jump through hoops to cater to these people are a subset of the overall population. Gotta break out of this subset to achieve the wide adoption OP was talking about.
HN is notoriously very anti-crypto as a community for valid reasons.

While I don't disagree with that statement, I'd expand it to say that HN'ers tend to be anti-crypto in the sense of being against the absurd hype associated with crypto speculation, and a lot of the really scammy seeming NFT / Web3 stuff that's out there. I think more than a few of us could actually get behind something like Monero based on the privacy aspect. But as we've seen in a few answers already, there are legitimate technical reasons that make Monero (and its peers) less than ideal even for those who do emphasize privacy.

very few people actually care about privacy

As someone with a Russian grandfather, who read all the classics, who took his daughter to the traveling Russian ballet each year where she waited after the show to take the ballerinas flowers, and then was motivated to learn ballet herself, I have HUGE attachments to Russia and Russian culture. But just like my russian speaking Ukrainian friends who called themselves 'Russians from Ukraine' prior to this war but now are just Ukrainian, the war changed everything.

> Who cares about inflation if your rent/mortgage is 3 or 4 times higher?

Oh, for sure: inflation is challenging to measure, and it probably isn't very descriptive for a lot of common situations. (I think the Consumer Price Index is an attempt to help solve this issue. CPI compounded about about 2.1% per year between 2000 and 2021.[1,2] The CPI includes measures of rent, but it also adjusts for seasonal changes.[3])

Inflation and CPI both obscure a lot of ground-level realities for people--the nature of all summary statistics is that they fail to capture the totality of reality in favor of giving us a broad sense for what's going on. Anecdotally my folks moved after their rent increased by 50% when their lease expired. (That was last year.) These are obviously nontrivial increases that have dramatic impacts on people.

Any high rise I have worked in seems to have a rotation of elevator engineers always fixing various shafts. In not so frequently used buildings, the elevators seem to be the first thing to degrade. I am no elevator engineer, but I assume they are not trivial to maintain. So my question: is this method worth the wear and tear on the elevator?

While the shafts are already there, I assume lift specifications are much more inline with a few people, and not literal tons of wet sand, so they would need to be retrofitted. Also maintenance seems much harder on a closed-in elevator than a typical crane or a bridge crane over a pit.
Even if you're giving them tens of millions of dollars they will still treat you with disdain. The only way Google changes is if people collectively stop giving them money which is hard, but something you should consider if you're able to.
I find two "conspiracies" to successfully kill Epstein as potentially plausible.

The first is Epstein killed himself, but under coercion. Presumably a combination of flattery at his historical importance (in protecting powerful people and US security information threatened by his imprisonment), with dire and credible threats of what disturbing tragedy awaited him if he remained alive.

The second is just a partial explanation: That the government got cooperation from guards or others via appeals to patriotism. The motivation would not be to protect powerful people, but to help the US government protect confidentiality of critical information and relationships, key to US security, that Epstein's incarceration put in jeopardy.

The first seems more likely to me, if there was foul play, since it requires the least number of people doing the least number of things.

I think we can do better than saying that indexes into Vecs are "non-idiomatic" in applications... such advice could remove much of Rust's performance advantage, and make folks wonder why we're not just using GC.

Perhaps we could instead say that if one finds themselves reusing slots in a Vec, they should instead use generational indices, hash maps, or Rc<RefCell<T>>, depending on their use case and what kind of performance overhead they'd prefer.

While you are picking up your bag from the bagging area a security guard roughly picks you up and throws you out the door and tells you to never come back. You ask why but their only response is "You were being suspicious."

> But that said, she's incredibly successful beyond that, at least in part because of her ability to generate free publicity at will.

For an honest comparison you should compare what she did vs. the alternative scenario of her disappearing from public life after the porn video, not working a single day further at all and just scouting for a good money manager (her family know plenty for sure..both for real estate business and for capital markets at large). Compounding money in the markets is very powerful, even if her carrer made her just as much money, she still had to do some work.

EDIT: I realize people need a purpose and so not working at all could be very bad for you.
> It really depends on whether that increase comes at the expense of my work life balance or not

Right, but the point is that apples to apples comparison you'll make a lot more money switching. There's no cost to work life balance or interesting projects or anything. It's 20%+ of your salary every year in exchange for dealing with interviewing and switching companies. It's a pretty fantastic deal.
Having an opinion and applying it to a situation doesn't make you "biased."
This description just reads like Russian propaganda. Indeed, from the author's Wikipedia page:

"Mettan's journalistic credibility has been questioned on several occasions. In 2017, Reporters Without Borders criticised Mettan for his pro-Russian militancy and for serving as a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda. Florian Irminger, Secretary General of the Swiss Green Party, also called Mettan an apologist for Putin's government. Following Mettan's support for the Ukraine bioweapons conspiracy theory in a Die Weltwoche essay in 2022, Swiss magazine Republik referred to the article as a 'breathtaking compendium' of Russian propaganda."

From what I've seen, hand-wringing over "russophobia" is just another armament in Russia's information war.

The Operational Combat Series[0] is famous within the hex-and-counter wargame community for its logistic systems. It deals only with mid-twentieth century conflict. Supply point counters are brought near the front by land,sea, or air transport, and then consumed by troops to fight.

More recently, the Levy and Campaign series[1] tries to seriously address the kind of pre-modern logistical problems that are discussed by the OP. You have to feed your troops, and can get food by hauling it with you (in which case you need to acquire the necessary transport) or by ravaging the local countryside (which has other side effects).

Generally speaking, there just aren't many pre-modern tabletop wargames (World War II is by far a more popular topic), and most of the ones that do exist are "tactical" games that deal only with single battles, and so bypass all the logistical issues.
