Don't feel discouraged. You are not alone. There are, unfortunately, millions of people across the globe whose opinion about this heinous war criminal are being silenced so that the 'feel-good' propaganda can propagate.

Those of us who make the effort to understand the truth of world affairs will always be targeted by those who wish to mould the world to their view. Such is the nature of imperialism.

Elizabeth and her empire is STILL TODAY responsible for much, much suffering - at immense scale. This is a truly scary fact for those who live inside the propaganda bubble that protects them from knowing anything about the victims of the empire.
> The first recorded recipe for a home-fermented tomato catsup was published in 1810, a descendant of British imitations of Asian “cat-sup,” or fermented fish sauce, that the British encountered on colonial voyages.

Do they mean kecap? Does this mean the similarity in name between ketchup and kecap is not a coincidence, but ketchup really started out as an imitation of the other. Must have been a hell of a journey, because today they are absolutely nothing alike.
But you are underestimating the challenge here. There is a difference between the landing and getting an orbital rocket first stage into a position to even attempt a landing.

The actual landing with propulsion is actually the easier challenge if you have an engine that can hover.

However SpaceX had to figure out how to get do supersonic retro-propulsion and basically making a heat-shield out of fire to protect the rocket on its way down, then navigate a terrible air-frame at high speeds and then do a never before tried hover-slam maneuver with an overpowered rocket engine.

That is very, very different from a DC-X that just goes up a bit comes straight down and then can do a slow landing.

I know some of the old space companies did some studies, you can also find a very long detailed post by Tori Bruno on the topic. The problem is, these studies and opinions are no necessary correct and in fact we know that they were very much incorrect. The assumptions both technical and economical these companies were making were simply not correct, at least not with the right engineering and investment behind it.

The study that you are talking about was from the 2010ish time right, not the 90s or something like that?

Arianespace/ESA totally fucked up with Ariane 5, instead of designing a booster that can dominate the launch market they designed a very niche booster and were forced to relay on Soyuz and couldn't beat Proton in many markets.

Partly this was because of Hermes and as they design Hermes it became bigger and bigger and so did Ariane 5. And then Hermes was canceled and Ariane 5 remained oversized.
> Interestingly, the Catholic church _hates_ Freemasonry, for some reason.

Freemasonry (and secret societies of the same style) was very active in the Age of Revolution and participated in the uprooting of the Church's power base.

As an active Catholic, Freemasons have always been seen with extreme suspicion, if not outright fantasies. But you could say the same of the way Catholics are perceived in some places, in particular among Anglo-Protestants and Socialists.
The dataplane API is an external product that itself uses the "stats socket". I personally don't have any experience with the dataplane API.

Changing certificates (https://docs.haproxy.org/2.6/management.html#9.3-add%20ssl%2...) and adding servers (https://docs.haproxy.org/2.6/management.html#9.3-add%20serve...) using the stats socket is both officially documented.

If you find the documentation insufficient or unclear, then this can be considered a documentation bug that I recommend filing here: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues

Because ERP is immensely complicated, and encompasses features that would be useful for almost anyone coordinating any organization, and ERP systems are really hard to change, so they have acquired a user base with lots of zeroes and a thick moat to keep them in.
I use Ergodox too, but this gallery of yours, this is sick man. I need to check this out, every one of them I'm not aware of.
The article is highly dubious. For example, it lists PNG as a state where "Questions are also like to arise ... over whether the new monarch could lawfully appoint a governor general", yet the Constitution clearly states "The provisions of this Constitution referring to the Queen extend to Her Majesty's heirs and successors in the sovereignty of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
Which websites support passwordless authentication (FIDO2 WebAuth)?

Microsoft and eBay, AFAIK. The rest may use U2F as a second factor not the only one.

Also, for recovery you need multiple phones, and you need the websites to support that.
It will probably take a while for websites to support this, and even then people are not going to buy and register several phones.
Interesting, they admitted the Gabon, which is a former French Colony with no link with the United Kingdom.

There's also the perennial problem that polls are not public opinion.

> This is not really about crypto, or tornado cash. I think it's more about ownership and surveillance. The only solution is to innovate in the area of evasion. Since there is no middle ground amenable to the ones who make the laws in their own interests.

I’m genuinely unsure what your point is?

Are you saying that because the rich and powerful are destroying society by evading taxes and weakening the fundamental infrastructure of our civilization, the rest of us should have crypto so we can be in on the loot?
Both things are correct in the grammatical sense, but they have different meaning, and in the Nvidia case, "4.5x as fast" would have been correct, or they should have used the less impressive sounding "3.5x faster".

It might be easier to grasp if you use 1x. E.g. "it's 1x as fast" means it's exactly the same. You're applying the multiplier directly to get the new speed. 0.5x as fast means it's half as fast.

"It's 1x faster" means you add the result of the multiplication to the initial value. So it's twice as fast. 0.5x faster still means it's faster, you add 50% of the initial speed. This way you cannot really express that something got slower, except by using negative values, which might be rather confusing.

I think this might also work in most other languages originating in Europe.
Fortunately, life-threatening, chronic, bankruptcy-inducing, rare-and-disabling conditions represent a relatively small portion of the total healthcare spending (removing the most widespread chronic conditions). Those are also the least profitable things to insure (require a constant and sustained spending to maintain the knowledge/capability and fund research even if underutilized) if we want to ensure that any human can get reasonable access to those treatments regardless of their wealth. For this reason, countries like Switzerland or Germany maintain a "healthy" public (with lots of adjectives) healthcare system alongside.
What I would like to see is reversible and auditable privacy in crypto: to participate I need to disclose my real identity to a broker I trust that follows all KYC compliance rules in the jurisdiction it operates, and my financial identity and transactions are private until law enforcement performs an unblinding transaction that is auditable on the blockchain, (in the vein of Chaum blind signatures), yielding my broker identity and unique customer ID, which the broker can associate with its records.

This way, I would have guaranteed and auditable privacy that the government cannot surreptitiously break, but there is an route to find identifying information with a noisy and court approved process. This would involve both a technological side and an organizational one - brokers would have to setup some type of clearing house that processes legal documents and requests for unblinding, approve new brokers and terminate those that do not follow relevant KYC practices, etc. A middle option between banks (no privacy, 100% agents of the government) and crypto (anonymous brokers, untraceable in competent hands, excellent for money laundry).

We cannot continue to pretend that the current crypto crop "is just like cash". I most certainly cannot teleport 1 billion dollars in cash across borders, completely untraceable. If you cannot see a problem with this feature of crypto and the bad types of people it would attract and enable, then you might be suffering from a case of sociopathy.
Microsoft at one point wanted to become a full featured IT department for companies. From managing their infrastructures, active directory, issuing laptops, but also providing basic erp, kind of salesforce like. I am not sure where they went with that but it certainly an idea that has merit. A small or medium size company should probably outsource its IT department except for the parts that are specific to their business.

People were able to set custom avatars with CFW Switches at some point, that was fun as these avatars also showed up in online games.

Imagine you buy a Monopoly, D&D or MtG set. You don't have room to play it at home so your child goes to a game cafe to play it with friends. A sex offender is trying to cozy up to them. Who would you blame for that, Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast? Is allowing them to confiscate a game set (or cripple it so it can't be played with other people) the right solution?

As a side effect, if you or your child are a bit inconsiderate during a tense moment of the game and someone gets mad back, with a press of the button they can block you from ever playing by reporting select words to game publisher. You will not be entitled to refund. Would you say that if this was not abused in a couple of months then it's definitely OK and we shouldn't worry about it?

Minecraft was sold as a game set. There are paid official places you can go play it now, but buying the game set does not require you to use them. Do not mistake it with Roblox, that one is both a game cafe and a game set.
Hence why I said 1000s and not millions.

Theoretically you could create multiple miner groups in a sybil-like manner and proceed to move a few thousands before anyone noticed anything.

First off, i like cash and try to do most transactions with cash.

But in an increasingly computational world it seems useful, probably inevitable, that digital programmable money will play a bigger part in the future.

So do we want p2p borderless networks, built on a history of foss and the internet, with varying mixtures of privacy and transparency? or do we want government digital coins that will likely be fully surveilled and centrally controlled?

which is more resilient? which is harder to corrupt? which provides everyday people with liberty and control? which removes power from rulers and pushes it to participants?

"We should keep cash" doesn't seem like a reasonable stance to take at this point. We need to defend our rights to publish free open source code, to freely associate over networks with other individuals and organisations, and to maintain/develop our privacy in our private interactions.

I dont see the version made by the government respecting those concerns, it is too easy to throw up a patriot act, to say "what about the paedophiles/terrorists/drugdealers" and suddenly law abiding citizens have their rights restricted and power becomes ever more centralised and hierarchical.

It is surprising to me to come to a site called hackernews, and see such little hacker spirit. It really feels that "crypto is icky" idea has taken hold so strongly that people are happy to give up their rights because the people they dont like will be less profitable. That is incredibly sad.

It seems if you post a SAAS website for finding rare sneakers you get HN praise as though that is peak culture, but if you choose to hack on money, ownership, provision of public goods, voting, borderless systems, and anonymous organisations, to actually address what power and democracy looks like in our future you are too close the dirty people. No we must stay as we are, we must trust the institutions, because everyone was happy before bitcoin, right?...

This is a good time to remind everyone of the rules of SAP integration:

1) Your company processes MUST adapt to SAP processes.

That's it.

You can try customising SAP to fit your processes, but you will just waste time and hundreds of millions of money and then you will fail.

Lidl spent almost a decade and 500M€ on its SAP project, but didn't follow rule #1: https://www.henricodolfing.com/2020/05/case-study-lidl-sap-d...
Though they have many competitors. A consultant who works on integrating SAP told me once that what gave them a competitive edge is that they let 3rd party consultants integrate SAP while others insist on in house consultants. That means that 3rd party consultant have a clear preference when it is time to advise the client on which system they should pick. That was 20y ago, not sure if it is still the case.
I think TSX/JSX is one of the top reasons to use React. It is so tightly integrated with Typescript and the IDE/VSCode that it allows you to type check your markup at every step. That was one of the biggest things I missed in Vue (2). But I think these days Vue also supports JSX (?).

Other reasons are that you have a lot of control over what gets re-rendered when using memoization, with the huge but that there a lot of foot guns. As well as it is easy to write terribly performing code in react, while it is really hard to write fast/good code.
You got 5.577 seconds. Aaand just like that, you went over.
come on, that's fairly close, much closer than the "super close" ones..

Reminds me of this reaction timer thing I made a while back with an arduino (it was mostly to try and 3D print 7 segment displays and learn how to drive them): http://dusted.dk/pages/reactionTimer/

It's the opposite idea, it counts down, then waits a random amount of time before turning on the led (indicating you should press the button). It was fun to see at the office, after a while, people got pretty good at it.. since they figured it would wait no longer than 10 seconds, they started getting perfect and near-perfect scores, not from actually reacting to the LED, but by being more and more "armed" for clicking as time went (because, the longer time passing, the more likely it will light up _now_).

What I found was a positive correlation between the elapsed time before LED-on and timing-precision.

Interestingly, the actual historians I came accros would not be shocked by such claim at all. They do make their own claims of that sort.

However, arbitrary fans of Ancient Greece would be shocked.
Anyone who genuinely thought that cryptocurrency would be usable for completely anonymous transactions without regulation is woefully näive.

Note I used "would" not "should", the latter is ideology, the former acknowledgement of reality.
The only way for crypto to win is to implement privacy and anonymity in a way regulators cannot prevent, such as privacy coins. Btc and Eth relying on mixers is a flaw which regulators will exploit to their advantage.

The monarchy has utterly usurped UK's "democracy" and continues to use its powers to oppress innocent human beings across the world. The crown regularly interferes in the democratic machinations of the UK.

The fact that the UK doesn't have the social capital to prosecute their known, actual war criminals - because they are factually protected by the crown - should be a clue of the malignant effect of the monarchy, in itself.
The only field german software could compete.

[ ] Digital Bureaucracy

[ ] All of the above

[ ] None of the above

My little pet theory is that the old "Do as you told" buisness-culture is to blame for germanys inability to produce great software. Software needs developers with agency, who refuse "idiotic" tasks and fight back to improve the product.

Know an israeli who complained about "endless arguing" in israeli software projects, while not recognicing the strength of that.

If its not fought over, all things are developed, all things become meh, teams exaust themselves doing all the things and the product fails, internally unoppossed, but externally years to late, bloated and mediocre to the core.

Still happy that SAP exists.
> reallowing tax havens in the "digital" world where we spent years to try to curtain them in the "real" world.

Singapore and Hong Kong have all been tax havens for virtually the entire history of their existence as nations. Nevis has corporate secrecy protected as a right in its Constitution. There has been no attempt to address any of these jurisdictions. Being low empathy for crypto is being low empathy for the middle class, which thanks to RingCT and zk-Snarks has the ability to have the same level of financial privacy as megamillionaires who can afford to spend a thousand dollars or more setting up a trust in Nevis. Ten percent of all the world's wealth is run out of tax havens -- an amount that has gone up, not down, the opposite of curtains.

Common people should be allowed the same level of financial privacy as the rich -- that is to say complete and total. It is a basic human right. If governments ban crypto, we should start banning governments.
Why is that a given without any thought of the consequences?

Heroin and fentanyl addictions ruin peoples lives forever, many regret ever taking it and wish they could escape the cycle of addiction but cant no matter how hard they try.

One reason they cant escape is because fentanyl use is so widespread and normalized the option to return to their old lifestyle is always extremely easy.

Freedom to take fentanyl and live on the street isnt freedom, its quite the opposite. Go walk around the tenderloin or pioneer square to see what this "free society" looks like.

Does anybody understand how passkeys protect against phishing more than OTP codes do? With OTP codes, an attacker can just ask the user to share their code ("please share your 2fa code to authenticate yourself"), surely with passkeys the same attacker could just ask the user to scan the login QR code ("please scan this QR code to authenticate yourself").

Edit: I looked into it a bit more, it seems like it only works if the browser and scanning phone are in bluetooth range. That's definitely pretty good in terms of phishing protection, but a hard dependency on bluetooth would mean this will not work at all on many desktop computers...

Account bans are not sufficient to prevent that. Never have been.
The point is crypto has potential to be used whether regulators like it or not. Regulators will do everything they can to prevent this of course, but it at least means we have the potential to transact privately vs. not having any chance at all.
