> If the system holding my money is hacked

We the hodlers believe that Bitcoin can be hacked only by hacking cryptografic hash-functions, which will lead to collapse all the banks, all passwords on all websites, maybe some data structures like hash-maps.

> or I get scammed in some way, where is my legal recourse?

How will you get scammed if you have a backup which you promise to yourself to not even introduce to computer with online? Also nobody recommends you to hold all your wealth in crypto. Some metals work not bad also, my favorite example is copper.

> But state regulation nullifies a lot of what bitcoin advocates claim is the advantage of cryptocurrency.

Let me guess, you have not read / have to reread the bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf whitepaper?

It's not a failure because Bitcoin tanked (relatively), it's a failure because Bitcoin tanking was and will always be a significant risk. People who got rich from Bitcoin weren't savvy, they won the lottery. It's not a sound investment decision based on outcome. Investments are sound based on probability and risk beforehand.

El Salvador gambled which is stupid. Whether they won or lost at the lottery is inconsequential to its stupidity.

Lack of statistical significance does not mean you get to assume the outcome you want, it means you can't say for sure if the effect exists or not. Therefore if you see more people who take the vaccine die than those who didn't, you need more data. End of story.

This should be obvious, indeed, obvious from high school statistics classes. If the effect does in fact exist and you roll out the vaccine on a global scale, you will end up creating a truly enormous number of deaths that should have never happened. Therefore you must be sure that the number of deaths will reduce. Their data couldn't prove this so it should never have been approved. But of course the whole thing was on rails from the start. The idea that governments would have rejected the vaccine trials when they were telling people vaccines were the only way out of lockdowns and buying up millions of doses before the trials even completed, is naive in the extreme.

The core problem for COVID vaccines is of course that COVID just isn't very deadly and many of the so-called COVID deaths were in people dying anyway of other reasons where the cause of death was spuriously mis-assigned, i.e. not people who will join trials. That's why they struggled to show any impact on death.

CS publication culture is a large part of the problem. The average CS paper is small (in terms of person-years put into the project), so people submit many papers. Most papers are submitted to conferences first, which usually accept or reject after a single round of reviews. When the typical outcome is rejection and resubmission to another conference, the negative aspects of peer review become prominent.

Over the years, I've drifted to the biological side of bioinformatics methods. The papers I write are similar to CS papers, but the projects are bigger, and I no longer submit papers to CS conferences. My typical experience with peer review is accept after 1-3 rounds of revisions. Hence I get to see more of the positive side, where the reviewers act as editors and their suggestions improve the paper.

Of course, it's possible to get a CS-like experience with journals by being ambitious. If you try your luck by submitting the paper to prestigious journals it's unlikely to get in, your typical outcome is a desk rejection or rejection after a single round of reviews. Then you get to see more of the negative side of peer review. But I'm just not interested in playing that game.

Apparently I've absorbed this knowledge via osmosis working in management at Tech Companies. All of what you said just seems mostly common sense to me. Even stocks, bonds, cost of capital and other "advanced" topics don't really seem very advanced.

I'm not talking about the hash function being hacked, I'm talking about websites like Coinbase that provide wallet and exchange services being hacked. Banks of course are also vulnerable to social engineering etc but there is more regulation and consumer protection for when that happens.

And by "scammed" I mean someone providing a fraudulent or faulty service or product. In the UK we have "Section 75" which protects consumers who pay via credit card or paypal: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-w... . Is such protection possible with bitcoin?
> Did you even look at the guy's frigging Wikipedia page yet?!

Of course, but a Wikipedia page is not immune from bias nor does it provide unfettered credibility. I recall the same tactics and approaches being utilized in users pushing an agenda for Wikileaks, suggesting that they were basically perfect and incapable of doing any wrong and that Assange could do no harm. I don't give anyone a God-like status.

> Reading through rest of thread...Is this a Musk-related thing for you?

No, this is a personal experience kind of thing. I see this type of situation quite often where a topic will get people are riled up based on their political and personal biases and skew their critical-thinking ability to actually analyze the situation. If congress was actually concerned about people's data, they would have actually put forth efforts to enact some reasonable legislation that didn't just apply to whatever platform they feel the most censored on.
You're right, I didn't formulate it in a clear way. What I mean that if I'm not interested, nobody can force me to have sex with me, no matter what reason. Siding with those who insist on having sex in such situations is an extremely worrying phenomenon.

>For a build tool, which is invoked many times to do relatively small amounts of work (compared to long-running server-side applications), it just doesn't make sense.

Bazel makes use of a client-server architecture. Java is used for the server component, for which startup time is not an issue. The CLI client is written in C++.

Sure. But that's not in contradiction to individual parts of the system having individual (and different) purposes.

Btw, not all companies have to make a profit. That's just a pretty common goal. (And if you want your business to stay afloat in the long run, you have to at least break even.)

Duh, obviously you only get dividends from businesses you own.

This is really easy to explain: all of the colonial empires were horrifying engines of atrocity, oppression and death. Since imperial apologists hated socialism, that made it a very attractive ideology -- if the worst people alive hate something, it's got to have something to recommend it, right?

The Madras famine of 1877 (in which over 8 million people died) is characteristic. The British Empire didn't just fail to help, it actually made it illegal to offer food relief, on the grounds that it would distort the labour market and violate free-market principles. If you witnessed that, wouldn't you think the market and Moloch were one and the same?

It's worth noting that "concentration camp" is not the English translation of "Konzentrationslager": it's actually the other way around. The German word is the translation of an English phrase used to describe the British Empire's interment camps in the Boer War. IMO, it's impossible to look at, say, a picture of Lizzie van Zyl and not see a premonition of the Holocaust.

This. --would even go so far to say Atari ST was intentional knock off of Amiga 1000 styled after Commodore 64/128. Tramiel spent his life building Commodore BUSINESS Machines (after his family was killed by Nazis) only to have it taken away by a new chairman (Irving Gould) who reportedly "gained control in a poker game." Tramiel reportedly dropped $45K buying the dead Atari name (from Warner Bros IIRC?), hired a hack for the design and relied on the MC68000 to do all of the processing (including graphics, though it probably had a DSP) and then dishonestly marketed the hardware as equal or superior to Amiga, knowing full well it did not have the enabling chipset that Amiga Inc. had spent four starving years developing in Los Gatos before he acquired them for a song while still at Commodore. (Many of those engineers later died of self neglect in the Aftermath of the Gould/Tramiel war.) The novice computer users and even business/data processing types of that era couldn't tell the difference between Amiga 1000 and AtariST based on that level of marketing or what few demos were available, but they sure could see the price difference and that's how Tramiel took his revenge on Irving Gould. Worse, "In business, perception is the reality" and "Careful who your enemies are, as they will define you" --so despite the then 30 year legacy of Commodore BUSINESS Machines and despite Atari being nothing but a halloween costume being worn by Jack Tramiel, Commodore quickly came to be seen by Corporate America as a video game toy maker like Atari. (Even you allude to this perception in saying that they had an "intentional skew to the low end of the market"). Bill Gates, who knew better of Commodore, didn't help things any when he brilliantly decided, probably after consulting with Steve Jobs, against porting his MS Office to Amiga, which totally ruined Amiga's credibility --because why wouldn't Gates want to support the very best chipset on the market, if it truly were? Then dystopia...
This doesn't at all surprise me. I consider myself a enthousiast with a limited budget. For instance I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 II for maybe 15 years now and I still enjoy them. Same goes for my KRK Rokit monitors. But recently I wanted to buy some Bluetooth headphones, since you know, the 3.5mm is absent from my new phone.

For those headphones I just went to the local MediaMarkt. First looked at crazy expensive Sennheisers, than at some boomy JBL's (Samsung) until I finally settled at some House of Marley Positive Vibration II - Bluetooth. It was the least expensive set of Bluetooth headphones in store with the poorest reviews online. But for me the sound was great. At that moment I realized that I had forgotten an important lesson for audio devices: Choose with your ears. Especially when you have a limited budget, like myself.

In Ancient Greek the word (παιδεραστία) was typically ment in the specific sense of "(male) lover of boys", not "lover of children", although the latter meaning would syntactically been possible. Because in the singular παῖς means "boy" in contrast to κόρη "girl", but for "children" the plural of παῖς is used.

So we have an old specific meaning that combines a 1) male 2) adult targeting a 3) male 4) child. This allows for a whole range of possibilities and thus possible disambiguties, if one or several of the four components were relaxed.

There are some parallels with the history of the word "homosexuality", because "homo" in Latin can mean both: "male human" or "human in general". The word often excluted female homosexuality, when it was limited to the performance of a particular sexual practice, namly anal penetration.

This is the best example - before it was shown that the Continuum Hypothesis was unprovable, many people believed, like the GP, that only uninteresting and artificial statements could be shown to be unprovable.

Not an answer, but nrp commented previously ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32181892 ) that the tooling costs for a pointing stick would be in the region of half a million dollars. My gut feeling is that you could recoup that, but it might not be the most effective way for them to spend that capital right now.

If nothing else, I'd like to see a crowdfunding campaign for it so I can put my money where my mouth is ;-).

Rear wheel drive cars also do it. The caster on a car mimics that of the wheel of a shopping cart. Having the pivot axis be at a slight angle relative to the direction your travelling makes the wheels trail behind that axis.

It does tend to be more apparent in front wheel drive cars, perhaps it's the weight of the motor? It's really important to get right in motorsport, as it denotes the characteristics of the car when you've oversteered. A car with correctly set caster will "self steer" itself back to straight without any driver input, and it will guide the car while oversteered in a way that's balanced with the direction the car's actually heading rather than where it's pointing (if you're intending to be sideways, like in drifting).

Thanks for the excursion into data oriented design.

Now think about the fact that API provided by browser to JS is actually stateful. And you have to make a lot of things mutable. That is an external constraint that a lot of things in the browser world are formulated as a mutable OO-model.

Also think about the fact that storing everything in a vector means that you get a massive fragmentation issues if your use pattern (which is dictated by actual downloaded content) for some reason requires allocating N items and then freeing 0.9N.

Also think about the fact that whenever your array overflows and you need to resize it, you have to a) make a massive allocation from the OS, which might be quite janky because large allocations usually incur context switch + TLB misses for new pages b) you temporary use 2x memory.

Also note the fact that if you reference everything by index, you effecitevly have a raw pointer. The only win here is that it is guaranteed to point to the right kind of memory, but you may very well reference a newely allocated node in the same spot.

It is easy to preach "the right" approach until you meet real world.
Time clock verdict: timekeeping is mandatory in Germany
The Goldbach conjecture is of very little interest to mathematicians, unlike either Fermat's Last Theorem or the Riemann Hypothesis. Statistically it is clearly true, in the sense that there are way more prime numbers than you would need for it to be true. Finding a counterexample would be interesting in the sense that it would be very surprising (but not mathematically interesting).

It is fated to be proved as a trivial corollary to some more important mathematics; a corollary that no one would have bothered with if not for the historical importance.

The unsolved Twin Prime Conjecture, of roughly the same age, is expected to lead to much more interesting mathematics if it is proved.

There's so much you could talk about regarding the difference between male and women and sex, I would say in a nutshell though that as long as society assume that feminism is the solution for men then we will continue to see more Eliot Rodgers.

For instance males are expected to "get females off" in sex even if she's as lively in bed as a dead fish, males got anxiety about this and being mocked for failing to "get it up" that they resort to viagra.

And it's not because feminism is inherently evil, no it is good, but it's framework is not design for male, and their issues, it's why you will only hear dog bones from feminism about "males feelings", which is just 1 small part of the problem for males.

It doesnt help either that while negative norms and expectations for females have somewhat disappeared, positive ones are very much alive (never date down).

It's why egalitarianism is the way forward because males issues and female issues are considered equal (different from
