You think that, given the choice between these two options, "the rich get richer" is preferable to "the ones that can get cheap energy get richer"? Alright. I don't.

In the first case, you perpetuate the status quo. With the second, miner's greed indirectly helps humanity find cheaper and more available sources of energy, benefiting all. Because Bitcoin or not, as humanity gets more and more advanced, it will need more and more energy. So energy generation is the bottleneck that needs optimisation.

I don't see how creating the world's first trillionaire is positive in any way.

You need some kind of publisher/label to get on Spotify; an individual can’t do it themselves (unless that’s changed recently). There are labels that do this for a reasonable amount of money, Like $30-50/year or so.
A 2021 Macbook is barely thinner or lighter than a Frame.work laptop. The difference is negligible. And the latter is made to be super easy to open and self service.
Well. You pay rent in dollars not percentage so unless both their pay and the prices are raised according to inflation they will sit at a net loss.

Also since cost of living is getting higher and higher one could assume less people eat out. And then, since it is a percentage, servers loose out on tip

Its not reasonable that owners raise prices when there is less guests.

Neither is them raising pay when business is down.

Hence the least unreasonable option for workers is asking for more tip from guests. Since they spend money eating out it's fair to assume they can afford it and therfore might afford to pay more tip.
I think it's safe to assume most anything you delete from a web app gets a deleted boolean or timestamp field set and the content persists in the database indefinitely.

In my experience I've found it rare that user content is ever actually permanently deleted for various reasons.

> No one's coming to steal your right to drive a Tesla, but more people might just opt to not own their own vehicle, as public transport options improve. If 50 years from now, people are able to use shared transport to get door-to-door from city A to city B, and at a similar (or better) speed, for less money, the demand for vehicles may drop. As autonomous vehicles are getting better, it's only a matter of time.

For the commoners, of course. Naturally the experts would still permit themselves to fly around in their private jets and yachts, etc. It's for the greater good, according to the experts.

Your comment is exactly what I complain about with school, it gives only a vision of global disaster and the culprits are us and our parents.

We have no idea how it will turn out in the future, what global events are going to happen or whatnot. The only thing I'm sure: we are going to die someday and Earth will survive us. If humanity manages to kill itself by destroying the environment, so be it and we deserve to die.

As for that somebody who sold my kids future, it always happened. Remember endless wars? The current 80 years without wars in Europe is an anomaly in history.
In those historical cases, the priority was cooling the core, the easiest method (especially if a substantial amount of plumbing is wrecked or questionable) is dumping water into it.

Which then becomes irradiated, and pools via gravity in any lower voids, and then eventually needs to be dealt with.

I don’t own any Apple hardware and no desire to own any, let alone keep it turned on. I do already have a mobile phone number that works. I believe I am among the majority of adults in Australia in this combination (though it’s quite slim and based on estimation).

If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, fine, and that is kinda the target of the article; but it’s worded in a way that I don’t like and find extremely misleading, since it’s also about interactions with others, who have a fair chance of not possessing the required hardware.

All those things are regulated, specifically to reduce chances for abusing them, but also to help in fetching criminals. Similar, nobody is demanding a ban on encryption (anymore), what they want (now) is the balanced middle, to allow justified access for "the good guys".

Whether the balance is good or bad, we will see. But society is all about balancing the good and the bad.
This is a design choice by urban planners for the past 60 years. This has statistically lead to detrimental aspects of every day living, and additionally cars are often not an attainable mode of transport for the poor, and the poor are often living in areas that have to deal with the by-product of pollution.

The incidental-exercise aspects that are positively impacting mental health health and obesity. We need to build better places for people, not cars, and this is something that's been ingrained over legislation from the automotive industry for the past century.

Cars are part of the puzzle, and shared cars could be exceptional. They are not sustainable to produce or operate and never will be.

It's quite possible in many cities for a family to have one car rather than the accepted standard of two, however. You don't need to give up both cars.

Not if you have decent public transportation. This is probably a novel concept in America, but in most other parts of the developed world a decent public transportation allows one to live car-free. I use my car so rarely that I am considering selling it.
Ask HN: URL format for blog posts - which format is best?
Example 1:

myblog.com/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url

OR

myblog.com/posts/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url

Example 2:

myblog.com/2022/08/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url

Example 3:

myblog.com/62642060

---

Pro and cons:

Examples 1 and 2: Readable but long URLs. They may also help SEO (search engine optimisation).

Example 2: The date in the URL provide helpful context.

Example 3: A short URL easily shared (but URL is not descriptive).

Which of these URL formats do you prefer? Or do you think they don't really matter?

> Putting the return type in the funcfions docstring should be a requirement during linting, and ensuring the correct type is used should be part of PR review.

You're suggesting pushing the types from the function signature + docstring into only the docstring, so that we can offload the static type-checking from mypy to the reviewers of the PR? Why?

This is at best exactly as good as mypy (100% accurate and repeatable) and at worst (and most likely) will lead to human reviewers making mistakes/not catching edge cases/forgetting to update docstrings.
I agree, child protection isn’t what’s driving this. It’s the deflection

You could buy a really cheap, barely functional car for 1k. You trade it in, get a 6k bike for free, and then you sell the bike.
> picolisp script which prints the source code in the target language. The ability to execute and modify ASTs as the nested lists they are is just so convenient.

I'd be interested in seeing some of your code doing this. I've done lots of Scheme and some Clojure and CL, and in my own programming style I mostly avoid using bare s-expressions to represent ASTs (I use structures/objects instead[1]) except in macros, because that is giving me less ambiguity and better error checking. I wonder whether we are working at different levels of scale, or different ways of working that make us prefer one over the other.

There's a few projects like that already happening, like Github's code repository on Svalbard.

That said, I think one big reason why the artifacts mentioned - Sumerians, Mayans, Egyptians, or even Vesuvius - were preserved was because they were lost; buried in the desert, overgrown in dense jungles, buried under volcanic rock and ash, etc.

For something to stand the test of time, it has to be lost. Al-Quaeda and ISIS have destroyed visible historic monuments and documents, for example, and some people in the US are advocating for the removal and burning of certain books as well.

So yeah, underground caves and hidden monuments would probably be best, although the collapse of society may take care of that as well.

Another option: Time capsules of data sent out into space in

It's not just about making it easier to repair for end-users, it's about making it repairable at all.

A easy to repair phone isn't just repairable by end-users, but also by your neighbourhood repair shop.

And repairable devices aren't necessarily bulkier. Look at the Framework laptop vs a MacBook, for example.
> ...but I think the way the original VT52 handled scrolling was that it incremented a register which it used for the index of the starting line

That's exactly right, pretty cheap but has some limitations like you point out here:

> (Incidentally, if you remember BSD talk/otalk/ntalk/ytalk, you might remember that it divides the screen into two windows and avoids ever scrolling them by wrapping the conversation around from the top to the bottom of the window in a sort of similar way; I suspect that this is because some terminals, like the ADM3A, didn't support scrolling part of the screen, and redrawing half the screen at 2400 baud would have been slow.)

I remember using them around '96, although we had the luxury of 10mbit ethernet (over coax cables) and some vt100 compatible terminal emulators running on amber screen XT machines (on DOS). As you mention neither the adm3a nor the vt52 had partial scrolling. The vt100 did have that and a lot of extra bells and whistles

> But you're running on an FPGA where a lot of circuits can be clocked at 50 MHz, right? 20 ns.

I run them around 50MHz just for the usb serial port, but all the terminal logic works at half that, right around 25Mhz which happens to be the pixel clock at these resolutions, so you cant go any slower than that

> but that still leaves 1000 LUTs for the terminal logic, roughly equivalent to 1000 7400-series TTL chips

I don't think that's a fair equivalence, most 7400 series ttl chips would be several 4 inputs lut, even simple gates like 4x2 bits ORS and way more for things like shift registers and counters of which the terminals have plenty. I also had to deal with ps/2 decoding. On an ADM you can also save a lot of decoding logic taking into account the bit paired keyboard
In the US, people need cars because of how cities are designed. In almost any European city you can live with just a bike just fine. Maybe get a rental or carsharing once a year for a trip to IKEA. Even in more rural places it can be an option if your workplace is close enough.
You might have a low value car. I just sold my old car for 600€. If I had an offer like this, and I could swap it for an expensive e-bike, even when paying for the 60% of the bike my car would have doubled its "value".
My take was that it's about getting _some_ of the dirty money out. So the dirty cash they are spending to fund this campaign is returning some % worth of Spotify commission. Even better if it somehow hooks the algorithm to recommend it to non-botted accounts.
Sounds like Cash fro Clunkers all over again. If it ends up the same, expect used car prices in France to be much higher for the next few yesrs!

Scrapping cars that are still running isn't the answer here, neither is drastically increasing the use of lithium batteries without a plan for disposing of them later.
I think this is aimed to reduce the number of cars in a household, say from 2 -> 1. Not necessarily from 1 to 0.

The fun thing about social media is that reporters can back up any narrative they want. “People are upset about X”, “Gen Z is doing X”, “Millenails are killing X”. Find two people and it's a confirmed trend!
It looks like you can specify HTTP headers, so you should be able to use a captcha solving service with Crawlee.
It annoys me to see this. Quoting tweets is the laziest form of journalism. But to be fair to journalists, finding a couple of real world people and quoting their opinions as if they are representative of the larger public isn’t any more rigorous.

And it’s possible to cherry-pick people to push any narrative you want. Like the NYT talking about how GenZ is very pro-life, quoting several pro-life youngsters. Meanwhile buried somewhere in that long article is the lede - only 20% of GenZ is pro-life.
That's fantastic that you have a mobile number that works. How can you use it on a WiFi-only tablet to send messages to people using that number?

Yeah, I know, you use third-party apps for that. That's not the point.
Also cars have unique identifiers literally attached to the outsides of them with typefaces you can read from 100 feet away. They do this to, you know, mitigate their criminal uses.

At least on desktop you have easy multi-messenger apps (Electron apps that have nice tabbed interface for web versions) like Ferdium or Hamsket. Sure, it's a bit of a resource hog, doesn't work for all services (eg. Signal) but you do get universal notifications and a single app window.

Pretty hard joke to point at the German constitution, after it displayed it hard failing in the last years. Protection from bad state-actors is necessary, but not for the price to also expose the citizens to non-state bad actors. Protecting the citizens is also a state's job, and somewhere they need to find balance between the different protections.

Cynically, because it's twitter, and it's trendy amongst a certain subset of the population to bash social media in general and twitter in particular. And I think your point is fair.

(FWIW, I think social media has if not caused, then certainly exacerbated, some major problems at individual, societal, and global levels, but by no means do I think twitter is the biggest contributor. I don't think we'd see the kind of unconstructive political polarisation we're seeing in the US and UK and perhaps, to a lesser extent, within the EU, without it.)
One real one I can think of is the Arecibo Message (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message), which starts with an encoding for the numbers one through ten, followed by the atomic number (in that encoding) of the atoms that make up DNA, then the formulas of the chemical compounds in DNA, etc.

>Democracy turned out to be easily manipulatable with large sums of money and media control.

People being easy to manipulate is feature of humanity, not evidence that democracy does not work.

People are in charge for allowing that to happens, allowing to continue etc. If things go shit under heavy influencing and manipulation it's the failure of the people. "ruling classes" in democracy works is the fault of the non ruling majority.
