Seems there's space for both narratives in the Crypto world.

TBH I'd appreciate having access to some form of a regulated chain, which validates identity and has overseen safeguards for transfers and exchanges living side-by-side with the traditional chains that exist today.

I think it would be good for crypto in general to have both and you'd see greater uptick in usage for traditional commerce if you had access to both.

Agreed, usually if they have hardware access it’s gonna be cracked eventually. Hard to imagine a system that was truly unhackable with infinite unrestricted physical access.
I know the all-in strategy, and that is a very different thing. Yeah it can be frustrating but those people also tend to go broke really quick. You don't have to play their game and you always have the option to go to a different table.

I want to clarify, my bets were not random and they are not even close to the order of magnitude as the all-in bets. Poker isn't just "mathematical purity" it's also psychology and that's part of the skill. A player losing their cool because I kept throwing 30 into the pot instead of 10 when we all have 1000 on hand is losing the psychology game big time.
Well, that's part of the solution. The other part of the solution is on the supply side: finding ways to reduce prices through improved productivity, trade, removing unnecessary regulations, fostering competitive markets, etc.
A basic stateless web app behind a load balancer can tolerate unstable network identifiers as long as you automate registering/deregistering the new names, which kubernetes services do very well.

Stateful apps can be a bit more exceptional because they often have client libraries that require you to hardcode network addresses via connection strings and other tooling that makes that glue automation more tricky and worth the added guarantee around consistent naming.
Absolutely. I worked for the nonprofit version of Cersei Lannister, and learned a lot about what NOT to do in leadership. She taught me everything I needed to know about what not to do, and so I left and formed my own nonprofit.
I'f it was named today I'm sure it would be called a "non fungible set" :)
Why is there an incentive to grow more mustard? Subsidies have shifted the supply curve for mustard. The opportunity costs of growing mustard have increased due to subsidies for other crops. Now less mustard is grown and a new equilibrium price is set. The old amount of mustard will never be grown due to the shift in the supply curve from subsidies of other crops.

All monetary systems are dependent on narratives to have real world value. If everyone stopped believing in the value of the dollar, it's real world value would plummet. The cash in my wallet would still exist but it would be of no value for buying real actual things. Bitcoin is no different.
TLDR: You have no rights in America other than the ones you can afford to pay a lawyer to force to be enforced.

Dude, as someone in the system, ex post facto happens all the time. In my case I can challenge it, but if I get slapped with lets say a completely 'theoretical' $5000 ex post facto "fine" it's going to cost more in lawyers to challenge, plus piss off my judge/PO for wasting time. As someone who can't get a job due to my record and can't afford a lawyer I have 'access' to the court for remedy, but I don't have access to a lawyer for remedy. The Constitution and our government are two different things.

If something gets ruled unconstitutional, that doesn't suddenly free prisoners in the USA. Each prisoner needs to then challenge their conviction in court, and get past the high procedural bar (as a Fed prisoner, do you submit to the circuit in which you are now unconstitutionally imprisoned, or the circuit that convicted you unconstitutionally? Depends on the argument you are making, either could be right or wrong. Pick the wrong one and you waste three months minimum (so much for speeding trial, that only applies to your initial trial according the the supreme court) for the court to come back and say 'they don't have jurisdiction'. Not forward to the correct court, just denied for lack of jurisdiction. For you challenging something already found unconstitutional that should just be immediate release upon Supreme Court ruling. And don't forget, you have a time limit to challenge something found unconstitutional. You took too long? To bad, you're now stuck in prison for something found unconstitutional because you didn't understand your rights and navigate the bar placed in the form of the court system in a timely), nevermind hurdles placed in prison (mailroom only open from this time to this time, mail room not certifying your mail or 'losing' it, law library copyers broken, commissary 'out' of law library typewriter ribbons for sale), etc. If the Constitution was law, those people held unconstitutionally would be released upon Supreme Court findings. The fact they aren't and can be kept in prison for 'taking to long' to challenge their Supreme Court determined unconstitutional conviction shows the Constitution is just a 'guideline' in the USA.
From the article:

"He is suspected of involvement in concealing criminal financial flows and facilitating money laundering through the mixing of cryptocurrencies through the decentralised Ethereum mixing service Tornado Cash."

This does not read as "all he did was write some software."

Yes, he might have written software, but if it was with the purpose of money laundering, for example, and that can be proven, that's not just writing some software.

We do not have enough information to decide either way, but what information we do have now (which has yet to be verified, of course) is that he did not just "write some software."
Go has generics now, and they're great.

Anyway, the idea isn't that everyone already knows Go because it uses familiar features for concurrency, typing, etc.

The idea is that Go is such a simple language, that anyone with solid CS experience can pick it up in a short amount of time and start being productive with it.
It's awesome that NetBSD can be ported and run on so many wildly different platforms, but do they actually work? I can't seem to figure out if the releases are installed on actual hardware as part of the release process?

Some of the tier II platforms are pretty exotic, and there cannot be that many working VAX or Cobalt Microservers machines around anymore.
I've honestly given up believing in anything like rights. Everybody seems to have different opinions on what they are, and they never seem to match up with what governments actually do. I'm not sure it's actually a useful word.
"courts have consistently ruled that you can't be compelled to unlock your phone ... if you're invoking the 5th."

Sounds like the role may be mislabelled if this is what he's doing routinely. I think the key question for me is whether he has responsibilities that are expected of him that he is unable to perform because he is doing this work instead.

Also, does your company have a separate formal architect role? Is it hard gated approval (this doesn't move without my stamp) or is he just keeping an eye on things?
The fact is we don't actually know anything yet. One can suppose that the attacker was angry about something Rushdie said or wrote, but we don't know that yet. For all we know the guy could just be insane, or have a more personal grudge.

It's one thing to be a techno-anarchist and it's another thing to be reasonably skeptical about government and what it considers "justice" and the ramifications of that "justice".

The way the government has been approaching cryptography and privacy in general is very much "throw the baby out with the bath water, we don't need it". What is happening in the financial privacy space (i.e. developments in crypto) should be alarming to anyone who believes in democracy, in my opinion.
I don't think there's anything to criticize about the press here.

Many articles mention the calls for his assassination and bounties placed on him by Islamic extremists.

But without learning more about the attacker it would be wrong to rush to accuse anyone.
Hopefully next they'll incentivize package maintainers to migrate to the declarative way.

No, the synthetic first person singular present tense is still more prevalent, even in Donegal. Overall, yes, Donegal (the only living Ulster dialects, as I'm sure you're aware) tends towards analytic, but they're not that common in some tenses. An Teanga Bheo: Gaeilge Uladh (horrible name, East Ulster was very different from Donegal!) mentions that you can say canann mé but that canaim is still preferred. Same with a few of the persons in the conditional mood.
He could have posted about it online or have a know connection to Rushdie beforehand. But yes that's what I'm saying, it will be interesting to find out later.

Excel as a product and a brand is very confusing.

On the one hand you have all these great features, but on the other I can't even import a simple spreadsheet with checkboxes to excel online without breaking it because of active objects not being supported online.

It rides on the massive weight Microsoft market share has, so it doesn't have to be portable, open and consistent.

> stories based on implausible premises -”didnt have surplus labor" lol- are conspicuously unpersuasive

Versus stories about neutral money?

Insufficient labor is a hypothesis. The archaeological evidence is engraved clay and stone markers. Long-distance trades settled with commodities. Bullion being traded between kings and kingdoms, seldom by merchants, and abandoned stores of value holding jewelry, precious stones and spices.

International trade in multipolar worlds does fine without a "neutral" money.
For the same reason propellers aren't shaped like compressor blades inside a cylindrical encasing. The cylindrical encasing dramatically reduces air flow, but is necessary for large pressure changes. For a brayton cycle heat engine, like a jet engine, you need to maximize pressure gradient for optimal efficiency, but if you're not burning fuel then you want to minimize pressure gradient and maximize mass flow rate.
The AP (nor anyone) isn't even reporting Rushdie's medical condition, presumably because it's still unknown. How are they expected to know what's in the just-apprehended attacker's head? The AP article does include context about the fatwa against him and the $3M reward:

> Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death.

> A bounty of over $3 million has also been offered for anyone who kills Rushdie.

> Iran’s government has long since distanced itself from Khomeini’s decree, but anti-Rushdie sentiment has lingered. In 2012, a semi-official Iranian religious foundation raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million.

You've already received some good responses (particularly from /u/pjc50), but one particular point may not be real clear.

Generally speaking, the power a wind turbine can generated is proportional to the entire swept area. So, other things being equal, it is better to go for longer blades to increase the area, rather than trying to "capture all the wind" in a smaller cross-sectional area.

So the most efficient use of your wind turbine's mass (which is proportional to cost) is to make it as big as feasible.

It's something we hear a lot since Supabase is often used for small projects. For now, we need to focus on building a sustainable business, and in the future we should be able to support more users like yourself as we take on larger customers.

There was an article on HN this week[0], which had a pertinent comment: "if your company wants to offer a free service, be sure that you can keep offering that for free."

We feel we comfortable that our current pricing is long-term viable, and ideally any change we make will be to lower the prices rather than raise them.

I want a world where decisions are based in truth. And the truth is that the Republicans have given up on trying to stop their party members from being overtly racist and xenophobic.

Personally, I think some weird process of self-radicalization involving the newest mass media and a denial of reason and fear of change in racial demographics, has kicked in with the Republicans and they won’t be able to stop it internally; there are no lines of common decency where the swirling madness won’t push all the thoughtful people past. I believe the rest of the civic body will have to stop them using our power. Yes, science is real. no, there’s no big differences between ethnic groups. Yes, being racist fucks up society for a long time, let’s stop. Yes, women are human also. Yes, immigrants refresh and renew the US commitment to hard work leading to achievement and the US ability to respect, enjoy and combine all human cultures. We, the majority, will vote, organize to vote, and push this world view every day for a hundred years rather than slip back into authoritarian or racist past which was anti-science, anti-truth, and anti-virtue.

The majority places have a strong directionality of wind due to the terrain, it's quite plausible that this place this happens very, very rarely (and the planners of that wind farm definitely took that into account).

E.g. the first random example of a wind rose plot I googled - https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Wind-rose-plots-of-all-N... - is quite typical, where winds almost all times go one way or the opposite way, and very rarely in the perpendicular direction.

Personhood is a prerequisite to murder. No jurisdiction has granted this to the unborn, but it's an interesting thought experiment if some chose to: thinking up "unforeseen" second- and third-order effects is a fun exercise (life insurance, HOV lanes, tax deductions, censuses & electoral maps, broken websites which assume all persons have names, birthdates in the future, null birthdays on death certificates)
I have to agree to be fair. Physical access is obviously incredibly different than exploiting a vulnerable even a particularly egregious design flaw. Wouters has to literally short the board.

This is what confused me the most about Unity in my game dev class in high school. It made no logical sense. Why would I put logic that has nothing to do with specific objects, inside a specific object? And why would I create a random invisible, unfunctional object to attach the code to? It's such a weird system.
Authors who have given robust analytical treatments of rights include Rawls, Habermas, and Kant.

The real question with title is less what your job responsibilities are and more how broad your impact is. A High level person can be good if the project is tough in some way - requires a lot of cross team collaboration, lots of market risk, specific technical domain etc. New things are hard, think about the fact that a high level execs at one company could be software engineers or "low level" IC's at a young startup. But it should definitely be intentional.
If a system is designed to not allow that access, and you can compromise that design, it is most definitely a vulnerability.

Looks like Supabase does support edge functions now.

I've inherited a Parse codebase in the past, and thought it was pretty gross. You're stuck building with their ORM abstractions, so it hurts when you need to do something complex. I view Parse as Facebook abandonware that's been salvaged by a community of developers who need to maintain legacy apps on life support. I think it'd be unwise to start a new project backed by Parse.

Having to deal with one-size-fits-all database "adaptors" for either Mongo-flavored or Postgres-flavored Parse is limiting, whereas having direct access to Postgres is a huge benefit of Supabase.

With Supabase, you can leverage all of the goodies that Postgres has to offer, which is exactly what I want as a developer. Even something as simple as writing custom SQL is a well-defined operation within the Supabase ecosystem, whereas with Parse you're in undefined glhf territory. Add that to first-class support for realtime updates, row-level security, and their other features, and Supabase comes out way ahead in my opinion.
The other side isn’t any less dystopian, heading toward a world where the powerful get to enrage people and have the state police enforce “civility.”

You either have to recognize that sticks, stones, and words hurt people and police them all or recognize that insulting someone to the point where they put real literal bounties on your head is the cost of sticking your neck out there.

This shitty middle where powerful figures and those “protected but not bound” get to literally fan the flames and then use the police to keep a lid on it created a pressure cooker waiting to explode so here we are.

So sure the dude should be arrested because he caused harm but let’s not pretend that this was unexpected or indicative of anything other than what happens when you deeply insult an entire people. The fact that I think Rushdie is in the right is irrelevant.
