So most of those places instantly convert the btc into usd. Prices themselves are listed in USD and you have to pay some markup for USD conversion too. It's sell pressure on btc so bad in any case

Does anyone have a pointer to a succinct list of the "hardware enablement" issues mentioned for the PinePhone Pro?
Yes, as mentioned above, there is (unfortunately) a controversial ruling (Grutter v. Bollinger) that allows for a form of discrimination in college admissions specifically. This is wrong and should stop. It's an example of SCOTUS judges allowing their political views to to override a clear interpretation of the law.
Is there any serialization format that is more "friendly" to memory allocators while still being human-readable and -writable?
Sometimes they ransack ebay for specific complex chips though...
They really don't, though. You can even look at quality of life in Russia itself - conveniently one of the more oppressive capitalist societies at the time - before and after the Bolshevik revolution.

(There's this myth that's popular with some lefties that Soviets weren't really that oppressive until Stalin. It's not true - mass executions were already in full swing in 1918.)
We dropped magstripes over a decade ago for chip and pin (though cards still ship with them for use overseas), and pretty much every payment terminal in stores have supported contactless for two years, but I haven't seen a contactless ATM here in Ireland - I assumed there was some liability reason they wanted chip and pin
> No-one wondered why they might want Crypto, the question was always "Why Bitcoin"?

That question has an obvious answer: because it's the oldest and biggest cryptocurrency. Not letting perfect be the enemy of adequate (let alone good) is a perfectly reasonable choice.

Google has a big focus on technical excellence and complexity. Facebook is the one with the impact focused culture. You need to get your PRs approved by language experts at G, while at FB people frequently ship things that are terribly written and have few tests.

Anywhere where there are committees that decide who gets promoted are not impact focused.
I was throwing it in as a bit of humor, but your comment illustrates how it really can provide fuel for an interesting set of conversations around ladders/roles where an engineering team can thrive.

Does the peter principle assume a person stops learning? On the surface, yes. And if learning leads to skills, maybe we could also consider success in different jobs as a combination of both skill and motivation. This would highlight a couple of the common, real-world problems I see when engineers "rise" up the ladder:

1. A first problem is many senior roles require new organization and leadership abilities, thus the core of the Peter Principle. (skill)

2. The second is that absent careful thinking and goals, many engineers will seek arbitrary advancement only to find their ability to succeed disappearing when those new skills aren't as fun/engaging/fulfilling. (motivation)
I bet it’s all three, but leaning toward more of the last than the other two.
Going to have to steal “load bearing comment”
If you wait for the carriers to do something as consumer friendly as supporting eSIMs, you're in for a very long wait.

It's not in their best interests to allow friction free price shopping.
Exactly, this is a business move to stop competitive advertising while they sell their own.
The presentation was well done but I see some difficulty with the approach. The time that the fuel ions have to interact with others is about a millisecond if I understood the presentation. If the plasma pressure is 1000 times higher than a tokamak, considering the limited time how does that effect yield? I hope it is better than 1000 * .001.

How is the reaction bootstrapped if the fusion products fly into the walls (or through the walls), instead of the fuel as it burns? Harnessing energy electrically the way described would really only work if it was happening either during, or immediately after the bootstrapping process was exhausted.

But if energy is being bled away without being replaced by energy products of fusion, it would simply get cold. Some of the energy of the shot can be reclaimed but not much of anything else.
> this is strictly about reducing the spread of Omicron / BA.5 and related substrains

From cdc.gov:

Updated COVID-19 boosters add Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components to the current vaccine composition, helping to restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination by targeting variants that are more transmissible and immune-evading.
Thanks for sharing, insightful article.

Sometimes the underperformers in a company just happen to skew a particular race. Publicly announcing such a layoff demographic would naturally allow for accusations of racism. That is what I am calling reality being racist. The summary facts of the situation can be called racist and it can be very difficult to defend that accusation without sharing huge amounts of internal data. So companies don't simply stay away from racism, they stay away from decisions that could be called racist. The difference between these two strategies is the problem. Touting anti-racism makes the problem worse, because it widens the gap between the two strategies by weaponizing accusations of racism for any action that remotely allows them. "This company tried to win brownie points by claiming it is not racist but look at this clearly racist thing they did."

I have the iPhone 13 Pro, and I wish Apple would fix the Live Photos video flash bug https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/live-photo-flashing-exp...

This is a first world problem: the flash that appears in their flagship Live Photos photo/video feature has ruined some great vacation photos that were hard to take.

I don't know if this is fixed in the iPhone 14 / iOS 16.
There are a large number of “smart” tab systems in use in US bars where the system retains your magnetic stripe data for the duration of your visit. You pass off your card, it is swiped and immediately returned. If you don’t settle your tab, it’s automatically settled with a pre-set tip using the stored track data. It’s convenient for bar owners and patrons as the bar doesn’t have leftover cards to deal with and the patron doesn’t have to retrace their steps to recover their forgotten card the next day.

It will be painful for an incredibly tiny number of people, and vastly superior for basically everyone else. Plus, it frees up valuable physical space inside the phone.

another counterpoint: I just got back from a trip in Europe and had to swap my sim card back when we landed. I forgot to ask for the small (and easily losable) tool they give you to pop open the tray, but luckily my SO had an earring that was able to fit.
And in Canada. 99.9% of the time if the machine asks you to use the magstripe period there's something wrong and the payment isn't going to process regardless.
I have a lynx hilo and it does 32 bit input. It’s incredibly nice for recording because if the input hits clipping range you can just lower the volume on the 32 bit recording after the fact and the recording is preserved. Lots of high end DACs have a 32 bit input output option because of this.

It's different on the 48MP Quad Bayer iPhone sensor:

Instead of something like RGBRGBRGB for the subpixels the subpixels are layed out as RRGGBBRRGGBB (in both dimensions). So while those additional subpixels provide some additional information (either brightness information or a different exposure time for HDR) in terms of color information the sensor would still be pretty much limited to 12MP. Based on the reviews that I read in the past Quad Bayer sensors seem marginally better than comparable regular sensors (48MP Quad Bayer vs 12MP regular), but nowhere near as good as the MP number makes them look like.
OK, but I don't want the protection. Where's my option to opt out and risk it?

I'm fine with signing a document saying "without KYC and AML, and banking and other regulations evil bastard terrorists may rob me blind." Whatever, lets got on with it, I want my wildcat banking, and yes I understand why other people think I shouldn't.
> All default (ie. used most often in idiomatic code) collections in Kotlin are immutable

That's not true. List, for example, is a read-only interface, but given that MutableList is a subtype of List, you have no actual guarantee that some other piece of code isn't modifying a list you think is immutable.

I haven't seen this leading to trouble so far because clearly the intent is to treat collections as immutable wherever possible, and because it's a tradeoff that makes Java interop easier, but it's not the same thing as true immutable collections in Scala.

Also, your comment about interoperability makes me think you haven't actually used Kotlin. Its Java interoperability is way better than Scala's (you don't have to cast collection types, for example), for better or worse (because it also inherits some of Java's flaws).

I think that Kotlin is more pragmatic and Scala is more elegant and idealistic, and both are valid goals.

One thing I have noticed with heavy use of copilot/dall-e, is that it's great at getting you most of the way there. But a big thing it's not great at is repeatability. When relying on something like ACT-1 to do data entry in salesforce, I need to do roughly exactly the same thing every time, even if the context is slightly different or I tell it something slightly differently. How well will it be able to do that?

Also this is very very cool, I love copilot, I hope I get to use this thing very soon.

So basically everyone is at fault, including the standard of innocent until proven guilty. Except Democrats.
Plaintext doesn't take up all that much space relatively-speaking; it'd be entirely feasible to store all the data on an automotive title (for example) directly on-chain.

Also, there's no reason why the property and conditions have to be stored together; they could readily exist as separate artifacts sharing some ID or reference.
Oh, great point. That's a fantastic book.
The fear was, big players would jump ship before the Merge. Well, they didn't, so there seems to be trust in PoS.
It's possible for there to be damage to a brand without it sending overall usage to zero. Maybe someone would be skeptical of future social networks or URL shorteners or news reading apps or video chat apps from Google. It's conceivable that some of those (or any of a number of other failed products) could keep them from getting adoption elsewhere in the future.

Change the framing from “white person was fired” to “black person was retained” and you’re suddenly back into affirmative action territory and the case whether it’s a civil rights violation becomes iffy.

You don’t actually have to avoid depriving a protected class of anything by relative omission. Otherwise affirmative action and diversity programs would be illegal, and until the courts change their mind they’re currently allowed. If you allow your reasoning to be unconstrained there is no way to provide any benefit whatsoever in any form to particular races because that would be necessarily be depriving that benefit to the compliment.
At this point the magnetic strip is purely the responsibility of banks, and probably a calculated risk as well.

For starters, you need to distinguish between authoritarian and libertarian forms of any ideology that permits that distinction. Bolsheviks weren't just communists - they were authoritarian communists, and they exterminated basically every other competing variety in the process of coming to power. Naturally, they backed political factions with similar views in other countries where possible, and otherwise pressured the groups that they did back to adopt the ideology.
> there are real concerns that our productivity as a whole is not where it needs to be for the head count we have

What a weird concern. Increasing head count decreases productivity (per person anyway). Why would you expect it to increase?

I have to imagine at some point the marginal benefits are near zero, and Google probably reached that scale years ago.

Which is funny because google is the advertising company.
I don't think it's reactionary to oppose choosing who to fire based on their race.
Because if the recording goes past the clipping range for digital audio it still records the data and preserves it. 32bit recording has serious advantages because it’s much easier to record a hot input because digital clipping is not possible. You just need to pull the volume down on the recorded clip after the fact and there is no clipping.
I’m not sure, probably nowhere. Not enough people dumb enough to want that to make it happen. Not really relevant though.

The end of Ethereum mining is coming soon, so for the hashrate to raise instead of drop suggests a bullish sentiment towards for ETH?
You mean the portfolio which, by definition to be in that dataset, was marked for indexing by robots.txt, and made available publicly to unauthenticated GET requests on the internet?
Right. Most people work because they get paid to work and figure out how to think of it as interesting as a sort-of post hoc defense mechanism, if at all.

But surely the managers of people who maintain those servers are part of the cost of maintaining those servers.

I know people like to complain that managers are useless, but if they really were, every company would get rid of them.

The cost of managers is what is being complained about in this thread. There might be other superflorus things wmf might spend money on which i might agree with you on, but this doesn't seem to be one of them.
A bit late to the discussion, but I have a couple of twitter accounts. One fairly well curated, the other one… not so well.

Browsing my feed on the first one is actually fun! No spam, no bots. Given most of the people I follow aren’t big household names.

The second account is basically crypto and OF spam everywhere, but that just follows the opposite kind people.
also that climate change is somehow "political"!
> It's not really a concern so long as they are engaged in nonzero economic activity, in which case no money is permanently trapped within the vehicle.

On the contrary, unspent money has no impact on the real economy. If money is permanently trapped in some bank account somewhere, it simply serves to mildly reduce inflation.

If the organisation spends it's money, and it's allocation of money is "bad", then it has a negative impact to the real economy.

Those employees could be working on something else productive, those goods and services could be applied to some other useful task.
> but doesn't allow iSH Shell to ship with gcc.

That's just a business requirement on the App Store rather than a technical requirement. Nothing prevents you from installing iSH shell and then installing gcc yourself afterwards. In fact I have done so.

To summarize, Apple made a speed bump, not a wall.
In general, yes - but hardware key authentication and Titan are leaps ahead.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that has abandoned money and transitioned entirely to the barter system. This past year, I only paid two hogs to the IRS. The future is here.
Charged with electricity.
Charged as in has a full and operational battery. A card with a chip in this does not require that. I can also intentionally give someone else my card to effect a purchase and neither myself nor my phone actually has to be there.

Fraud clearly hasn't had a deleterious effect on the entire system, and the penalties for fraud align incentives to fight fraud properly. It's not such a large problem that I'm willing to take steps backwards in terms of functionality and privacy to digitize my purchasing.
I don't think he means "per person", the sentence makes sense without that assumption.

Bezos didn't take on $100 billion of risk from the start. He took on the risk of not having a job like any other startup founder. It just so happens that this risk created over $100 billion of value. If there were an artificial cap placed on wealth, Bezos would have extracted profits from Amazon earlier rather than reinvest money back into the company. Every other rich person would do the same, including his competitors and investors, so in the end, we'd all have less wealth.
> might have edge cases (like transgender people whose preferred names may not match government ID cards) but it seems like it would be a step in the right direction...

Just keep all your funds in online crypto exchanges and bounce transactions through mixers. You'll have the zero protections you desire.
considering that it seems like lockdown mode pretty much breaks the internet, I wouldn't be overly concerned. Average user use cases will still need to be accounted for. My guess is that these are security features that they would ideally like to add to all phones but found that they were too much of a hassle for the end user.

Ask HN: Would you host a hybrid B2C/B2B startup under separate domains?
Hey folks,

We built a consumer facing app using <x>app.com domain and it's been successful and has grown quite a bit. A few business owners have asked us for an API access to our backend and we already have a few paying clients.

We're in the processing of negotiating for the <x>.com domain. When we get it, we need to decide if we keep <x>.com domain for b2b and <x>app.com separate for b2c only or if we combine them all under the same domain.

Wondering if HN community has any thoughts on which approach would be the best? The advantages of combining is to increase the new domain's authority and traffic right away by redirecting existing traffic. The disadvantages is we need to make sure we get navigation right, etc. Are there any examples of startups doing both b2c/b2b that get it right?
Ethereum Classic is a competing EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chain which will remain Proof of Work. This just indicates people with mining hardware are switching over to another chain where they can still capitalize on their Hardware investment.

Ethereum Classic has been a pretty dead chain to date, with no (or very few ) decentralized applications, no cross-chain tokens, and very little development. It was created after a big Ethereum hack was reverted (back when Ethereum was in a similar state), out of a mix of idealogical and opportunistic principles.
Thanks for sharing the first link. Having worked in subsea for a number of years and co-ordinating a lot of material testing QA/QC, I'm always on the lookout for such cases.

It blows my mind why she thought the testing requirements were "stupid". For those unfamiliar, subsea testing requirements set a high-bar (pun intended) because failure in operation is simply not an option. From my non-expert understanding, testing at such low temperatures is not just an order of magnitude factor thing for simulating the operating temperature of the environment, it actually helps put the material in a state to check for other things when under test (maybe increased pressure?). Steel intended for subsea use is not your everyday stuff, apart from it's role in distributing forces, corrosion resistance is designed into the alloy through other elements and the resulting structure (often normalised), to perform even after impact.
My take on this is, even if you trust [insert data holding brand name], do you:

- (access) trust every individual employee who has immediate access. Forever? And every individual employee of the government agencies that could compel access? Forever?

- (policy from above) trust every executive who could change policy on where your data goes and how it is held. Forever? Trust the relevant national government regarding laws about your data. Forever?

- (security) trust the Security set up is at least great. Forever?

Forever, because data can last that long. And auditing data handling is hard.

Edit: tried to make it clearer.
The protections aren't just for you. They're also for the impact your actions have on everyone else. You may not care about money laundering, but most Americans do, so it's regulated.
Sorry, but work is work, and not every task at work is a fun problem. Sometimes you need to buckle down and grind through hard problems that aren't the most fulfilling.
