Ask HN: Best Digital Assets to Invest In?
I wonder what digital assets HN is investing in. Obviously crypto is at the forefront right now, but are people still investing in other digital assets like domain names, or buying up small profitable projects that run by themselves??
In untrained young people.
Which part of the US do you live in that doesn't have natural disasters?
In general, saying "I would like to argue that being X is not about doing Y. Instead we should do Z" is going to make people, quite reasonably think that you are arguing against Y, and that people should do Z instead of Y.

"We should focus on Z" does indeed suggest to most readers that you are excluding things that are not Z, whether you meant that or not.

Highly recommend going with "I'm sorry, I meant ..." rather than "You read it wrong, I didn't say ABC ..." to avoid confusion, especially when you do indeed use the phrase ABC.
It's not like tickets on these planes are going to be cheap anyway. You could double the fuel cost and I doubt that would double the ticket cost.
Embraer jets got rebranded as A220s not that long ago, great planes that took over the market that served by short 737s and A319/18s. No competition for the bigger planes, that is true.

A lot of rich folks are older so maybe for them it's not bad. When it gets dire they got money they'll just up and leave.
Not that I know of, but /r/ABoringDystopia comes close sometimes.
The people I know who moved to Florida are a little better than that: many are NYC natives, and are well aware of what gentrification looks like in that context.

I do think they have a somewhat myopic view of their own work, however.
- Tracking changes is different. Not only do you have to track code changes, but also training data and model changes. You need to build systems that allow for this change management.

- Monitoring -- you have to build specialized monitoring to check for model degradations. Is the model still outputting valid/correct predictions? If not you need to roll back to an old model (see above).

Those are the two main ones.
True. OTOH, I'll guess that dire (fresh) water shortages mostly won't be a near-term problem in Florida. Unlike the southwest, etc.
If you have a rootkit that you're concerned about copying around, that can somehow persist through pretty much everything on the system being upgraded at some point or another... you should probably also be worried about the various vectors that the rootkit could use to persist across OS reloads.
You’d select a photo or any file to transfer, bump your phones together and ta-da, it was sent over. No accounts or friend lists necessary.

It used a mix of geolocation and wireless signals to determine the match and worked flawlessly. You could even do the same with a computer by bumping the phone against the spacebar!

This was over a decade ago. It’s very depressing to see great tech like this just disappear into the void.
By comparison, mining of coal emits carbon, and using it emits carbon. Double whammy of carbon emissions.
Thanks, this looks great. I'll definitely read this later.

But why doesn't the base macbook install support more of these features? I was led to believe (perhaps incorrectly) that I wouldn't have to tinker with a mac as much as I have with Linux. (I suppose that fine tuning keyboard shortcuts is very different from trying to desperately fix a video or wireless driver)

I assumed that apple optimized for a good user experience. Are "power users" (or even people that just want alt tab) not included in apple's UX goals?
I plug it in just the same way I'd do with a gaming laptop.
Totally agree about the wording of the title comment and other commenters in this thread.

But "Boom Supersonic is transforming air travel with Overture, the world’s fastest airliner, optimized for speed, safety, and sustainability. Serving both civil and government markets, Overture will fly at twice the speed of today’s airliners and is designed to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Overture’s order book, including purchases and options from American Airlines, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines stands at 130 aircraft. Boom is working with Northrop Grumman for government and defense applications of Overture. Suppliers and partners collaborating with Boom on the Overture program include Collins Aerospace, Eaton, Safran Landing Systems, Rolls-Royce, the United States Air Force, American Express, Climeworks, and AWS."

This^ is significant support they already have. So they could operate for 10+ years, which seems like they will (even if they are just in R&D and burning cash). In a way, it is viable to the employees and suppliers, if they get paid for such a long time haha.
Except it’s not the same kids. The kids who used to get all the cookies have already grown up. You’re punishing different individuals, just because they have the same skin color as someone who had unfair advantages in the past.
When they were publishing pie charts and made you fill a little questionnaire every time you buy a bundle, the stats showed that Linux users always paid a little more than the average, and this exponentially added up causing Linux users to pay a much greater sum at the end of the bundle, in terms of total money spent.

I'm not sure I can find the charts now (they were live and per bundle), but I track Humble since day 1. I remember it well.
No, in American (and I think British) English, it's common to add a word before the subject in a question. "Why Airbnb dumped RN" does not have to be a question. But when it is, American and British speakers expects an "auxiliary", I think it's called... from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93auxiliary_inve...

"Sam enjoys the paper" is fine.

"Sam enjoys the paper?" sounds weird, like you're questioning the sentence itself rather than asking Sam if they enjoyed the paper.

"DOES Sam enjoy the paper?" adds an auxiliary (does) and makes it more natural sounding, I guess, to our ears.
Ugh, this is a classic example of skewed logic going way too far before the underlying truth can catch up.

I am in tech management (also a recovering attorney) who routinely conducts interviews, and it is perfectly acceptable to ask where someone is from in a professional setting.

The unacceptable part, as OP at least hints at, is using the response as a proxy for some other verboten criteria or perhaps to kickoff an overly intrusive line of questioning.

These behaviors are odious on their own and why HR should be explicit in training against antipatterns, not spreading meaningless FUD which miss the point and permit bad habits to foster elsewhere.

It’s really inane that modern software recruiting claims to focus on getting a proper picture of the whole candidate , yet untrained interviewers counterfeit the whole endeavor thinking they’re politically correct because they’re afraid to ask anything but the same broken whiteboard questions.
I didn't mean to express confidence that all or nearly all companies actually do have reasonable policies that are well enforced (but I see how my comment could be interpreted that way). I am not at all surprised that many companies are dreadful environments like the company in that lawsuit. What I meant is that it's not reasonable to hold companies only to the standard of legally protected classes. That's a good standard, of course, but a very low bar.
A couple of my tools that don't require signup:

- Grapher (a visual editor for graph datasets with features like nested nodes, custom attributes on nodes and edges, and export in Cytoscape JSON or SVG format. Accessible at: https://grapherx.netlify.app/

- LearnDB (A curated collection of links to educational resources organized by topics, formats, reviews and other tags). Accessible at: https://learndb.vercel.app/
I always assumed it wasn't documented as such because it is a bit more complicated to set up / describe and they were trying to keep the docs simple.

Once you get past a certain amount of endpoints, I'd always want to declare my endpoints in code rather than be tied to their config.

Never had an issue with the logs. Requests still show up.

Everything is relative. We moved from Austin to Orlando last year for family reasons and our new house of roughly equivalent size/amenities was significantly less than our Austin house. And now we wouldn’t be able to afford our old Austin house.

As a developer of real life messy code (as opposed to unreal life?), I have never found ignoring CS to be beneficial; and on the other hand, deciding in advance that CS is not helpful is hubristic: you never know when theoretical insight will become actionable.

On the other hand, who wouldn’t be curious? Like someone who purports to enjoy fast cars but has no interest in understanding internal combustion or electric engines?

>Theories don't get "falsified" except in rare cases and in the idealized fanciful histories of some philosophers of science

>None of these examples are of theories like our current hot Big Bang model

In your first post you're fine with lumping together well established theories with loads of evidence like Big Bang and a philosophers zero evidence theories based on their intuition alone. The two extremes of theory legitimacy.

In your second post you're strongly rejecting the middle of some-to-little-evidence theories to back up your original easily refuted claim that theories rarely if ever get ruled out by evidence.

I think you just didn't think through or spell out your original argument very carefully.
Great question! There are a number of steps you can take beyond cleanings, some of which will depend on your current oral microbiome (which we'll provide coaching on once you get your results). We recommend a comprehensive approach, which includes certain products, diet, and lifestyle interventions to help reduce the levels of pathogenic bacteria and promote beneficial species (which are a natural defense against the pathogens!). Here are some resources on diet [1] + probiotics [2] to help get started in the meantime, though:

For those who doubt the mention of a refill from a single weather event, 500 year floods are a thing. It’s more likely the lower the average annual rainfall in a region is, but you get nonliner amounts of flooding with extreme events because a lower percentage is obsorbed into the soil. Large floods can carry more water than the river carries in an average year.
Yeah, this is a thing.

Wealthy people are probaly going to be the least likely to be affected by climate change. From wikipedia:

> Real estate prices in Miami already reflect the increase in prices for real estate at a higher elevation within the city compared to real estate at a lower elevation

It's usually the existing poorer population that already owns property next to low lying areas next to the water that will get caught holding the bag when asset prices drop.

Besides FL migrants are typically older people retiring, not making longer-term plans.
> I'm pretty sure that their headquarters needs janitors, a landscape crew, and folks to fix small things

This is an article about requiring in person attendance for people that are currently WFH -- which almost certainly does not include janitors or landscape crew, who cannot do their jobs remotely.
tbh, you probably don't need kubernetes
I agree. This is why DashCache is designed to be very efficient in terms of CPU and memory, while providing very strong adaptive capabilities for mixed workloads.

If think the most important part in this design is the realization that we do not need a global order in order to choose an entry to evict: other heuristics like LRU, LFU, frecency - they strive to provide a single number, a metric. Obviously this metric lies because a single number can not represent well both qualities like frequency and recency. DashCache, on the other hand, does not try to do it at all. Instead, it implicitly defines a partial order between entries in the same bucket or segment....
Most companies tend to have some development "thought leaders" that propose big shifts like this (and use some politicking to advocate their views), and sometimes the "big thing" ends up working, and sometimes it ends up being a disaster.
Show kubernetes pods in "unusual states" or restarted 8 or more times:

One use case using trivy is in a CI/CD pipeline; fail container builds that have issues to begin with.

Whereas container scanning in ECR, who knows when someone will actually fix the issue.
The internet tells me that there is only one ocean liner left (Queen Mary 2), which travels only between the UK and the US east coast.
I assumed this was one of those "true stories" that content marketers put out to push their newsletter, but I see in an update he actually names the restaurant that allegedly did this.

Earlier this year I wanted to start a gym routine to gain some muscle mass and lower my body fat percentage. I found Jeff Nippard's youtube videos to be a good resource for my purposes:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC68TLK0mAEzUyHx5x5k-S1Q

He's a bodybuilder/powerlifter/coach with a focus on evidence-based exercise and diet advice. I've heard him cite people like Mike Israetel and the MASS report at https://www.strongerbyscience.com/mass/

I like that his videos tend to be concise, and he does a good job of being clear about which of his recommendations are backed up by research and which are opinions based on his personal experience/preferences.

> Non-computer sciences and engineering comment sections are full of people speaking their guesses with authority.

Any idea why this is the case? I wonder, because I would expect most engineers to have had a university education that taught them respect for the complexity of things around us in the first place. The realisation alone of how little one really knows about one's own subject after several years of study should make one very cautious when it comes to subjects one has only heard about in passing. Or is it simply that an overwhelming majority of modest people simply remain silent, and that is why a few uninformed who rush to judgement stick out?
I bookmarked this two months ago--what a fantastic utility!
If they buy the dip enough times, eventually they'll hold a monopoly on the world's supply of dip. All the other countries will come begging as their dip reserves run dry and the prices of their goods, unable to decrease, succumb to hyperinflation. We'll see who's laughing then!
To add to that it feels like newer albums no longer tell a complete story the whole way through and are just a collection of random singles that would rather be placed on and off as the next song selected by an algorithm for a streaming service.

Maybe I'm just being nostalgic for the days of when I'd be excited for a new release and listen through a whole album of artists like Pink Floyd or Daft Punk and having a level of satisfaction similar to reading through a book or watching a movie.

That's just a regressive tax that disproportionately hurts lower-income folks the most.

I'm so tired of this "I got mine, so fuck you" attitude many people have. If you're wealthy, you probably got there via inheritance, luck, or on the backs and shoulders of the hard work of others. And yet "I won't do my part to pay for basic infrastructure where I live" is the attitude.
Great. Finally we found a proper crypto use-case.

I came here from Feedly.

> Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?

Feedly has about 30mn of downtime now and then; I'd say once a year. /s

It's not dying, thus it doesn't have to come back.

> Is RSS still actively developed as a protocol?

I don't think it does, and I like it.

> If not, why not?

Why should it? Don't break something that works.

> Are there any viable alternatives on the horizon?

RSS is viable to me. I understand that some may want to add tracking and paid suscriptions; but that's not a bug, that's a feature. I don't want some content pushers to constantly try to ram something down my throat -wasting my precious time- just so that they can make a few cents off my back annually.

> I find it really troubling that we seem to have resigned ourselves to web content discovery and distribution belonging to corporations like Google and Meta.

?? I actually went on Feedly because Google EOL'd gReader

> Also grateful for any reading recommendations on this subject

Here's my advice: take the habit of actually seeking information. You saw a thread on Facebook about Photogrammetry? Then research how it is done. When you stumble on a source that is useful to you, try to identify if new content may be produced; and try to find an RSS feed. Boom, you're now subscribed to a Palaeontologist's articles about macro-Photogrammetry, how he captures details in fossils:

https://peterfalkingham.com/category/photogrammetry/

It's called curating information for your own needs; come back in a few years to thank me. By then you'll have gone a few rabbit-holes of technical specialization, and have an information pipeline way better than the 3-seconds-attention-optimized Facebook's feed.
It reminds me the 5th element: https://youtu.be/UkFAcFtBD48?t=50

AFAIK it's just a style/branding thing.

And he likes sushi.
His statement is more specific than that. He said white progressives. So if an Indian progressive worked on the policy they did it to appease some other person, not because they believe in its progressive value.
And they still have not solved the problem that ultimately sunk the Concorde. Fuel costs made it unprofitable to operate whenever the price of oil went up.

The small niche of customers willing to pay a significant premium in order to save some travel hours is not big enough to sustain an entire industry of specialized mechanics, parts suppliers, pilots, etc... Basically you need a critical mass of people riding these aircraft every year before the relatively high fixed costs eat you alive, and it's very hard to get a lot of people to buy into a high priced luxury service.
The post just shows one recent event. If that makes you upset, then I suggest that you don't go searching for it. That's for the sake of your sanity.
Maybe I'm bias but I really don't like the recommendation to use anchors. It makes the compose file look super cryptic but that's just my opinion.
There are no electric jet operated commercially, and wont be until at least 2026. And those that are in development are meant for distances around 100-200 km or strait up urban mobility. The latter of which falls squarely into the helicopter segment.

And as far as automotive, or generally non-aerospace, companies are concerned, well, aerospace is hard. Really hard, it is with the potential exception of life science the most regulated industry on earth. None of the automotive experience (close to none, but you get the point) translate into an aerospace environment. And even if, we are still looking at billions of development cost for small aircraft to be used commercialy, in the range of ten billion plus for commercial airliners.
Much of this is the fault of Cupertino's extreme NIMBY policies that prevent building any amount of density.
I moved to Florida last year to save millions on taxes. Everyone else I know who moved here revently did for the same reason.
Show HN: You can’t rely on motivation to quit social media
How many times did you tell yourself that you will quit social media apps?

I’ve done it multiple times, disabled my Facebook and instagram accounts when I felt motivated to do so, only to enabled them back again whenever my motivation faded and I felt bored.

Now, I don’t think that these social apps are completely evil, if you simply control the amount of time you spend surfing them.

That is why I designed and built an app that helps me limit the amount of time I spend on these apps and so far it has been effective.

The point of the app is simple, to help you reduce your screen time and limit addictive app usage.

I really think that negative reinforcement is one of the best ways to build habits, which is why I included it in this app.

Do you like watching video ads? I’m thinking you hate them.

With this app, you can launch an annoying video ad if you’re about to access one of your blocked apps.

If you find yourself regularly and mindlessly launching social apps, this little app will definitely help you overcome this addiction.

If you are interested in using the app, it’s available for android users.

Disclaimer:

Even though this is an app I built and this might look like self promotion I just want to say that this app has helped me and I think that it can help others as well.

If you can’t afford the application after the free trial, but you find it to be helpful, I will personally help you out with a free version.

They're talking about an installer for Arch itself (which could and should support the bare minimum options that most users want), which is what it didn't have until recently; not installers for packages within Arch, which it has always had.

So, would it add a bunch of extra complexity? Not really; it's actually tiny compared to making a package manager and maintaining its library.

Would it take away from maintaining the package library? I guess a bit.

Would there still be a need for documentation? Of course.
