Are you old? You think it is easy to post on Instagram? Haha! Kids go to insane lengths to optimize their reach. They would swim through a lake of piss and puke for a popular post. I now some who sit all evening and "follow, unfollow, like and comment" stuff they are not interested in at all. It's a drag. It's work. It's exhausting. And everybody hates Instagram.

Why do they do it?

Because on Instagram, you can earn social currency: Likes and follows. A currency that gives you an advantage in the real world.

You can't do that with the technologies you mention.

But one could do it even better if likes and follows were cryptographically signed messages. Then a like from a celebrity is something that nobody can ever take away from you again.
Gonna go ahead and quote the bit that people clearly have not read before commenting.

So “don’t invest more than you can afford to lose” is tough advice to swallow for the large group of people who are seeing the gleaming promises around crypto, but who also don’t have money they can afford to lose. They can take a big chance in hopes of the bright future they’ve been promised by an industry with a huge marketing budget, or they can risk missing out and staying in an already untenable situation.

It’s apparently easy for people to castigate those who’ve just lost everything by repeating this refrain, in the same way it seems to be easy for people to only start pointing out the “obvious Ponzi” or “clear scam” projects only after everything crumbles.

> If these revived woolly mammoths eventually repopulate the Arctic, they would take down small trees and help repopulate the grasses they thrive on, Church said. Those grasses reflect sunlight better than the dark trunks of the conifer trees that live there. In addition, the woolly mammoths tamp down the snow, making it less insulating.

Those grasses would cool the ecosystem, in turn reducing the release of trapped methane gas from melting permafrost, a major contributor to global warming.
Good summary. This is probably the most accurate and succinct writeup I've seen (in what is otherwise a sea of misinformation about the company). I'm also an ex Amazonian (Sr SDM).

> Ireland is small and fast rail feels like overkill

Not sure I'd say that; a modern TVG/ICE-type service could do Dublin to Cork in less than an hour, vs 2.5 hours for the current service. That would be a game changer.

There are vague plans for such a service, and more solid plans for upgrading to 200km/h (the trains already support this but the line would need upgrading).
But then you lose a lot of flexibility and pay insane prices. Where I live regional travel (what's being called complicated here and what the 9€ ticket is valid for) can reasonably cover distances of 50-100km where I live, which covers quite a lot of cities.

That's a different plant doing different work in a different city, which was built by different people and never owned by Audi. That plant produces hydrogen from water, not gasoline from air. That plant could never do either half of the work (1. from air, 2. to gasoline) that was being discussed in this thread.

The Audi plant I brought up was in Dresden, on the other side of the country, 350 miles / 550 kilometers away.

So, this might be a valid point, although not enough to reject the feature for. It true that it's a feature that could potentially see over-use and ab-use. But then, so did templates :-P

Emerging signals of declining forest resilience under climate change
Induced demand itself isn't a problem. The problem is that it counteracts congestion-relief efforts, which is often the (stated) motivation for things like road-widening.

Whilst road-widening can improve other things, like throughput (a congested three-lane road can shift more people than a congested two-lane road), once we start comparing such measures we find that public transit, etc. does even better.

The same argument doesn't apply to induced demand for transit (we can't do even better by switching to public transit, since that's what we're already doing!). At that point, maybe there aren't any easier options; and maybe we have to build more (bus) lanes or rails, or run more vehicles, etc.
It's no more or less ridiculous than 'negative', 'real' or 'odd'.
And here’s the failure to communicate that most concerns me… this isn’t HIV, it’s got multiple routes for infection and covering one with a condom does nothing to stop you catching it via another route.

Money pox can be transmitted via infected bodily fluids, via via contact with the blisters/lesions/“rash” that forms, via inhaling droplets of infected fluids (simplest example, heavy breathing + sweaty bodies very close together), and potentially any method where infected fluids from one body come into contact with the mucous membranes of another person, so that’s the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Also it can contaminate surfaces so there’s a risk of infection via contaminated bedding. Only one of these is mitigated by a condom.

Effectively the only preventative options are vaccinations and avoiding exposure via the normal ways, trying to not come into contact with anyone infected (the “avoiding high risk behaviour” option) and by wearing personal protective equipment such as disposable gowns, gloves, masks... which is basically all the sort of things medical staff do to prevent the spread of all sorts of diseases around hospitals, but its a whole list of stuff you need to do and remember to do right, to the point where medical staff need training and spot checking to ensure they do it right all the time... understandably its not something the public is very well equiped to do.

Oh and it’s infectious before it’s “obvious that you have monkeypox” since the first early few days the various skin symptoms could be mistaken for a zit or pimple or other skin reaction and don’t necessarily start somewhere you regularly look at, such as behind the ear.

The wikipedia article is actually pretty informative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeypox other than not having a clear idea yet what's different about the new strain spreading around, we actually know quite a bit about monkeypox since its endemic to certain African animals there has been cases to study for decades, and the fact its related to the much more deadly Smallpox virus (the Smallpox vaccine is apparently 85% effective against Monkeypox) means its been an interesting virus for researchers to study, basically since we started trying to wipe out smallpox decades ago.

Edit: Missed a key point. The extra trouble is they need to "thread the needle" with their messaging to ensure what they are saying isn't misinterpreted as pointing the finger at the MSM (men who have sex with men) since they have mountains of evidence on how badly handled everything was with HIV/AIDS. They don't want the regular public assuming this is a disease only gay people can get, because its not, but the kinds of activities that are most likely to cause you to catch it are most commonly associated with gay men, which is sort of at odds with their first goal.

Performance cannot be evaluated in a vacuum, and likely has as much to do with your environment as it does your experience and talent. A _high_ performance company, if such a tech company even exists, would do everything in their power not to lose institutional knowledge. Throwing out a low performer is the wrong tact if you have more products and teams then you know what to do with it, it is much better to shuffle that employee into a new environment a couple of times to see if anything sticks.

> The difference between monkeypox and smallpox is arbitrary?

All differences between two things is always arbitrary. This is something I wish more people understood. Two different things are never the same thing. You can come up with similarities based on arbitrary criteria, and that's all.

For example, what we consider make two different person a woman is arbitrary criteria that we just all agree on, or debate forever.

> How many people are dropping dead from it? It doesn't seem like an arbitrary distinction to me

You want to engage in that "forever debate of semantics", but I don't think that's your point.

Currently, it's agreed on taxonomy that chickenpox is not on the same family as monkeypox and smallpox. That's just agreed upon arbitrary categories.

Now the arbitrary doesn't mean useless. Often categories are chosen based on some practical aspect. For example it helps to group them if they have a similar behavior in some way that is often helpful to group in the default case.

An example of this is how in culinary science, a Tomato is made a Vegetable, because it's more useful to club vegetables around their flavor profile. You most of the time don't want to use a Tomato for a recipe that calls for fruits. But in botanical science, flavor isn't useful, it's more useful to think in terms of what contain seeds, thus a Tomato is made a fruit.

Each science uses their own arbitrary classification based on what is more practically useful for their line of research.

Ok, so I think your point isn't to try and tell virologists that their chosen taxonomy isn't as optimal for their line of research. But that in the case of public policy and messaging, virulence might be more important.

Even though both virus are of the same family, there is still a major difference in their virulence. And maybe that property holds more weight in this case.

I think that's a great point, but that you were arguing wrong by attacking the definition instead of bringing up the characteristic of importance and explaining why.

Now this is as much as I know of virology, so I can't say if there are good reasons to be worried about the chances of virulence changing because they are in the same family or not. But I'd say you're right, virulence is what the public cares about, and it be nicer for virologist to explain the chances of the virulence getting worse through some mutations and if they think it's high, why, or if they think it's low, why.

> that's a 9% tax on their salary every month forever

Well, 9% of your salary above £28k, and wiped 30 years after your first payment.

In any case, it means no-one is too poor to study at tertiary level (recognising that there will always be circumstances that mean someone cant') while still making everything can be funded.

Your first sentence is correct. Your second sentence would be better revised to "Explain the problem and the fact that the client will be signing on for a long timeline and high level of schedule-risk. Then work at a pace which does not damage your mental health."
I wouldn't characterize "You can't possibly be this dense" as verbal abuse. Twitter loses credibility every time they enforce their own policies inconsistently. OP's incredulity that an actual human could look at that video and think it was revenge porn seems well-placed. The points about whether OP has paid Twitter money seem irrelevant; this is about Twitter enforcing their own policies correctly, not about some kind of standard of paid customer service.
I agree that people shouldn’t invest more than they can afford to lose.

I’ve invested in Crypto, and I am still mildly up on my total portfolio. I was even using one exchange that got shut down; that’s $2k I will never see again. I never put more than I would feel comfortable with losing and that’s why I have nothing to worry about.
Almost all construction projects are houses, whereas no software projects are hello world.
There are obviously fewer ML libraries than for Python (sometimes worse quality, sometimes better), but if you are willing to invest time, it's definitely doable. E.g. I made a multi-task transformer-based syntax annotator in Rust using the tch Torch binding:

https://github.com/tensordot/syntaxdot

In my current job I do NLP with Python, Cython, and some C++. I don't think implementing ML stuff in Rust was much more work. Once you are beyond the stage of implementing a small research project or toy model, most systems are going to contain a lot of custom, specialized code. You will have to do that work in any language.
I think Molly kinda buried the lede here which is that crypto companies and influencers explicitly encouraged people to invest money they could not afford to lose. The crypto "community" need to own up to this.

That sounds like the perfect situation for high speed rail; take the passengers off the slow rails completely freeing them up for freight. The high speed lines themselves would be massive loss leaders financed by the freight.

Possible and done in other countries, but less feasible in the US because many existing lines are privately owned.
We don't need to stop saying "Don't invest more than you can afford to loose", we need to be saying it louder (in the future tense). To people who were sucked in by the marketing from influencers etc. I am sorry. We need to do better at regulation etc.

I know that Crypto is mostly about avoiding regulators. That's not a good idea. Regulators are not the enemy. When done right, they level the playing field and protect the small investor.
I wrote my dissertation in Word, and I found it more than sufficient. WYSIWYG is still the best way to edit documents, but it’s not great for version control. Word’s equation editor is great though, and I enjoyed the ability to precisely place figures. Although resolving references can take a while with hundreds, I think they could serve to improve that.
I have sympathy for all of them. Like the article says, some were greedy but all were lied to. The only thing they have left is a hard lesson learned.

On the flip side, the frauds, criminals, and liars that run the entire crypto circus can all die in a fire.

Taxpayers (and residents in general) of the USA pay out the nose for streets and roads, parking, car-centric planning requirements, massive subsidies to suburban sprawl, fossil fuel industry subsidies, lives lost and healthcare costs due to automobile pollution and traffic injuries/deaths, and the follow-on high cost of everything else in the society. (And let’s not even get started on global climate change.)

Paying for rail infrastructure is not fundamentally different, except insofar as it is generally cheaper, more efficient, and long-term much healthier for the society.
Great idea. Maybe we should try paying the cost of car travel via gas taxes. We could start by just paying the for the entire road, bridge, and highway network, and then add in the costs associated with climate change.

«A leaked trove of documents» ... where would one find such documents ?

This is hard to write.

In 2015 I joined a local club for electronics hobbyists. It was great, we met every other week, had show-and-tell presentations of the things we were learning and building, I made a lot of friends and learned a whole lot. But, in 2020, it started getting taken over by crypto bros: where before we'd have presentations about a new IoT platform or how to generate some signal, now we'd have presentations about yet another bitcoin-trading thing, usually not even run by people who were regulars in the group.

At each one of these, I and a couple others did try to explain, politely, that crypto wasn't what was being claimed (overnight guaranteed millions!) and that these people didn't seem to understand basic things about economics (bitcoin is not a "store of value"). And we got laughed out of the room for it.

After a few times of that I just stopped going to the club, and I wasn't the only one because the whole thing disbanded a couple weeks after that.

So, when you say that the crypto people lied about this and people got suckered in, well, no sympathy. Because you're ignoring all of us who tried to point out the lies and caught shit for it.

Maybe you all shouldn't have invested more than you could afford to lose.
Can you explain what aspect of C from PDP-11 was problematic for Cell?
This question is dear to my heart, having been a pre-popularity adopter of a few language ecosystems that did and didn't become popular (including C++, Java, and Scheme/Racket).

You can search job listings on LinkedIn, Angel.co, etc.

But if it's only a small number of search hits, also consider the possibility that even some of those might not be genuine opportunities, so you have to look at each one. Examples of why:

* A hiring manager/lead is an enthusiast of the fringe tech., and the kinds of people it attracts, but not actually using it. Or not an enthusiast, but has heard it's a way to get the attention of some of the best developers. (I have done this, and been clear about it.)

* Startup (maybe more likely to choose fringe tech because the tech cofounder happens to know/like it) that is trying to look like they're doing well enough to be in a position to hire, when they're not yet.

* Recruiters trying to keep the funnel full, so candidates ready as soon as openings available.

* Mandated postings, when the org already knows it wants to hire or promote a particular person, so that person's resume gets turned into an overly-specific job post.

* (I've not confirmed this one in the wild, but it's similar to other growth hacking, and you could see how it might appeal in a market heavy with resume-driven development.) Promoting some tool or platform by faking job posts for it.

Note that this doesn't mean the fringe platform is without merit, and sometimes the merit is self-defeating. The norm in one fringe ecosystem I was involved with, on the rare occasion an established company used it, was for one super-productive person to quietly do a team's worth of work, and... the org never really needed to hire more. (And if that established company got refocused on faster growth, then an MBA is probably going to think they need to switch to a more popular platform, so that they can hire a large number of people "who can hit the ground running", fast.)

Maybe also relevant: consider the risks of investing career in a fringe ecosystem, which was the topic of my first Ask HN post (from an engineering lead ethical perspective): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23655604
