Scientists Discover 380M-Year-Old Heart, Preserved
My first real software development job was doing plone development which uses zodb as it's persistent layer. Good times!
When I say "I discovered this great coffee place over by the river" it's apparent that I don't believe, and nor do I intend you to believe, that for example nobody else knew it was there, or even that none of your other friends knew it was there.

But when people say the Columbus "discovered" America, what useful information is that conveying? Do millions of Europeans "discover" America every year and we just forgot to mention that? If I saw a photo of Haiti in a book, did I "discover America" ? What if I see video of somebody's vacation to New York but mistakenly believe it to be in Germany, did I just "discover America" even though I don't even know the literal continent of America exists?

It is definitely not clear that Colombus ever realised he had set foot on a continent Europeans didn't previously realise existed. Maybe he knew this and pretended not to, or maybe he was too stupid to figure it out, we can't tell, it suited him better to have succeeded in finding a route to the East, by going West, which was definitely not what he'd actually done. His original plan literally doesn't work, but he got lucky.
Pakistan would say no due to strained relations, and state level Indian governments would pressure the federal government to say no due to anti-Bangladeshi sentiment in India (sort of similar to anti-Central American sentiment in the US with an added Islamophobic element or Ethnic element depending on the region) - appearing to vacillate to Bangladesh over what is basically a dumb symbolic issue would piss off voters in very narrow Indian elections.
I actually agree. I was originally not going to include the word "probably", but I thought I would soften the message a little bit. There's likely a few outside examples, but yeah, keeping an employee on the roster after telling them they will be let go is just asking for trouble.
They are selling a street car, though. The vast majority of people who have this will not be tracking it. So why does it need a drift bar?

I'm very aware of how track and race cars work, thanks for explaining that.
And yet, people did and do.

Overpaying for an investment doesn't make it NOT an investment. You're just saying that arbitrarily.
Gotcha, CPUs have been most of my experience with it.

I dabbled with GPUs but it seemed like I'd have to do a lot of clock/voltage tuning to make it worthwhile. This was way before energy prices jumping, too
This is a game by the creators of Space Quest (Sierra), a kickstarter 10 years in the making!

Adding to this, those employees are, themselves, probably working for an American company instead of a local one.
There is a 3rd method already being implemented,[1] though it is enhanced by your second method. If no more satellites were put in orbit, eventually there would be no satellites (or space junk) in orbit.

You can get fast two wheeled vehicles pretty much everywhere except some Chinese cities… but you have to have lights, signals, highway rated tires, insurance, and registration. Seems reasonable to me.

It happens here in a unique way, partly because of the legal structure we have around public corporations. In the US, institutional investors want to see revenue growth, even over profits. Way more sexy. And they have ways to arm-twist management by influencing the board, agitating for new board members, etc. They work to frighten other stockholders into supporting them and then management has to go along. Sarbanes-Oxley might be waved around, too.

Normally, a cash-cow business would be a great thing to own. Unfortunately the accumulated cash plus (feared or actual) slowing of growth equal a big red flag.
Agree with you on most except for one point:

> You have x types of string instead of one or two

Funny how you said X, while there are really only 3 types of strings in standard library. You generally only encounter 2 of them: String and OsString. OsString, while annoying, but it's one of the things that makes rust safe. You only ever deal with 3rd type, CString, when you work with FFI, at which point you better already know how strings work on C.
It happens. Sue the government and stop it on Constitutional grounds. Vote in November and maybe change things. Run if you're sufficiently motivated. You also have the option of leaving the country and renouncing your citizenship. Or do like a guy I knew and don't pay taxes, though what happens after that may not be to your liking either (he didn't).
To be fair here, I believe that most people on HN are fans of Stripe (I'll admit that I am) and this isn't going to cause me to write them out of anything. BUT nothing is worse that feeling ignored and we all can empathize with that. Stripe's promise to us in tech was that they were/are different. Patio11 has written some great articles from inside Stripe explaining how the payment systems work. PC and JC show up at conferences and chat with other devs. This is inherently different that what you can expect from the CEO of Paypal or Authorize.net.

Now we're asking that to stay true to that part of the company. Not because we want to see them fail but because we want to see them succeed.
Same from my experience, keep bringing them dollars
This is one of the few areas where I think there's a legitimately useful role for NFTs. WoTC (the owners of MtG) could "mint" a limited number of cards each year, just like today, controlling the rarity of certain ones, etc. People could pay WoTC for them, and they could be traded in the blockchain, which shows the "chain of custody" all the way back to WoTC, which is what makes it "authentic". Online tournaments could check your ownership of cards via the blockchain, and I can even see IRL tournaments checking the blockchain too, if you want to print a copy of your card.

They already do this sort of thing with MtG Online, I think you can purchase and trade cards in-game. They also let you send them physical cards, and they will give you the in-game card in your account in return. Not sure if they go the other way around.

From WoTC's perspective, one of the downsides of a "public" blockchain would be that they don't get a cut of any transaction beyond the first one.
Also worth considering: Proof of Transfer consensus mechanisms like Stacks allow entire networks to run in paralleled with Bitcoin by piggybacking on Bitcoin's consensus mechanism. That's a whole big pile of transactions happening that go entirely unaccounted for by folks who just count the number of transactions in a block.
The videos that don’t make money are the unpopular ones. Are they the ones you watch? Have you listened to the content creators you do consume and what they have to say about doing it for the joy of it all
Unfortunately I can't figure out the scope of this project from the content on the site right now. Perhaps if there are any contributors reading this they might like to clarify?

The tagline on the home page is "A privacy-respecting, open source and secure TV ecosystem" so that sounds promising. Is this some sort of alternative firmware to replace the junk installed as standard on most "smart" TVs now - like installing OpenWRT on your network gear or rooting your phone and installing one of the alternative Android distros?

The vast majority of people buying this cars are not going to be using it for drift events. So for the 99% of people who are buying it without intentions of tracking it, why is this there? At least on the RS it was something that could be added (albeit a bit silly.)

I'm well aware of how track cars and race cars work. I thought that would be somewhat apparent from my initial comment.
Yeah, AI models aren't people, with all the moral and emotional considerations that go with that. I never understood taking machine/biology metaphors literally, but compsci people seem to love it.

Untrue. An HDMI capture card, image recognition, and a USB HID device means easy aimbot. Anti-cheat is an impossible task.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Are you some kind of sovereign citizen? If you don't pay taxes then the USA government isn't spending your tax dollars like you said they were in your first post, is it?
> How will the world respond if we end up with a peaceful Russian military dictatorship at the end of all this?

I wouldn't bet on that staying peaceful for long, though.

I don't think a good case was made for this in the article. What happened to suddenly make the US too big to govern?
What headset models do you use?
Yeah if you don't want to work, you don't have to pay income tax.
>To take your Usain Bolt example, if you won 3 out of 5 races against him, that might just be because it was an off day for him, and not because you are actually faster than him.

It shows you're probably very competitive with him, though, barring some special circumstance where he says he's suffering from an illness or whatever. You can't compare either racing Usain Bolt or generating complex images with flipping coins. The conditions of this bet demonstrate that AIs are getting better at correctly understanding the specific intentions of prompts when generating images, even if it doesn't show they're anywhere near human-level understanding.
I largely agree with what you said, but that 80% capacity factor is rather nuanced.

Nuclear’s capacity factor varies quite a bit depending on the local grid. France’s averaged below 70% while US nuclear reactor’s where generally over 90% largely due to the local energy mix. Solar is running into similar issues as it scales, but they both can greatly benefit from energy storage. The issue is nuclear power is so expensive it makes energy storage less appealing.

So, if we are talking about a potential grid with 30% nuclear 10% hydro and the rest solar and wind then nuclear could have a 90+% capacity factor and mostly be offline in the spring and fall when seasonal demand is low. Unfortunately that means Nuclear isn’t going to scale and help with global warming. On the other hand if you want a 90% nuclear 10% hydro grid then nuclear is going to have something like a 40% capacity factor without a great deal of energy storage.
Are you joking or just trying to troll? There is no shortage of people relative to the damage we do to the planet.
Plenty of places around the US where the population density is so low you could go 100mph all day on the highways with no problems.

Though I will say, it's wild that even what were once considered budget cars like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla can go 85mph uphill these days. There's probably a market for a cheaper car that can barely make it to highway speeds. Maybe in three years, when oil is $200 a barrel...
They also have the right to create the space junk in the first place. What are they going to do, revoke your space launch permit?
Forgot to mention, in a house with 10 cats where I once lived, each would respond individually & separately to their name. So they can understand verbal direction.
It worked out for the better in the end, considering Gates has pledged to give 99% of his wealth to charity. To redistribute that wealth to among Microsoft employees would essentially be taking money from the poorest 10% of people and giving it to the richest 10%.
I think remote buttons are passed through CEC. For example, I can use my TV’s remote to open the menu and change settings, but when the menu is closed I can also use it to navigate my Fire Stick UI.
The law doesn’t say “things you are born with”, though. That’s a common theme with the specific categories it does name, but only those specific categories are protected.
It's a semi-regular question https://hn.algolia.com/?query=ask+hn+first+users

I think it would help to give a bit more detail in the question about the type of users (or customers?) you try to target. Mobile game, selling a physical product, consulting, selling in shop vs on the internet, B2B vs B2C, is it free/free-trial/cheap/expensive/open-source?

You may not realize this, but credit bureaus are a way for lenders, who compete, to share anonyminized customer data amongst themselves. I don't see why the lenders would be willing to share this very valuable data to the whole world.

The bureaus are regulated because of their power but they were not created by the government but by the value to lenders to having a trusted third party to merge and reshare the customer data in a safe fashion.

And I would have to guess most people can master "understand your credit score" better than we can master "good ops sec for a 100K dollar private key"
Twitch did this a few years ago. Amazon Prime used to give you ad-free viewing, but they ended that. I believe the reason was so they could grow their ad business.

Likewise, If too many people buy Premium, they won't be able to sell as many ad spots. Plus, the people who actually pay for Premium probably make heavy use of YouTube. My guess is that they'll instead start increasing the price of Premium to get more people to give it up.
Yeah, I was super interested until it turned out to be Yet-Another-RPi-MediaPlayer-image.

I mean, it seems cool if the voice commands etc all actually work but it is one of many.

Being able to update the actual TV firmware like: OpenWRT, Canon Hack Development Kit, Valetudo(vacuum robot) is what would really have my interest.
We all know, or should know, that all big tech companies violate privacy in one of myriad ways. Facebook, Google, et al are a criminal cartel, selling its users’ data to the highest bidder. When a foreign country or an individual does what these companies do, it’s hacking and considered a crime. When Big Tech does it, no big deal.

I'll assume you mean the first amendment and that only applies to the government not to private business (i.e. Facebook). It definitely does not apply to a webpage that told you in their T&C that they're scanning the content you post.

The article may quote “Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.” but it wouldn't be worth the ink it's printed on. Time and time again it's been shown that if a third party (i.e. facebook) wants to willingly give information to the government a subpoena is not needed.

Burlington is unusual in that third party candidates are already competitive in Vermont, which means the spoiler effect was more visible from the outset. As RCV proponents continue to incorrectly imply that RCV eliminates the spoiler effect, I expect we’ll see more third party candidates running in other locations and spoiling more elections, leading to an increase in backlash against RCV in the future.
> They already do this sort of thing with MtG Online

Exactly. They can track all this stuff in their own database. WotC doesn't stand to benefit from putting anything on a blockchain.
In addition to dynamic, Apache APISIX has the advantage of developing plugins in Java, Go, Python, Wasm. While Nginx uses C, Envoy uses C++ and Wasm.

You're still going to have some grief is you sign up 2 years worth of customers to recurring subscription via Stripe and then have them pull the rug out from under you. Sure you can switch to your backup processor(s) for new customers, but you'll need to go back to all your existing subscription customers and ask them to re sign up to their recurring subscriptions with the new processor.

Its much harder to engineer a payment abstraction layer with recurring payments where you're not relying on Stripe's subscription features that are not migratable to another payment processor.
I know a kid who totalled 3 cars before the end of high school and had one or two fender benders. Whether he was physically unable (ADHD) or actually knew what he was able to do but didn't, this is the type of person that shouldn't be on the road.

It can be as punishing as you say, but rarely is. People buy cheap used cars so it's not expensive as you might think. Basic liability insurance isn't crazy either. You'll rarely go to court unless you are uninsured. And insurance will typically cover medical expenses, and comprehensive will even help you buy a new car.

It would be pretty simple to revoke people's license if they cause more than one accident in 5 years.
It works as a regular electronic handbrake for those people who only use it on public roads. It only works as a drift brake in "track mode". Thanks to that drift thing though we get a normal-ish handbrake interface instead of a button, so that's great.

To be clear, you're saying you're unaware of any news media which says only positive things about Trump?

That seems implausible.
That’s a common misconception. Salomon never intended to actually split anything. He could have said “if you don’t reach an agreement I’ll keep the baby myself” and it’d have worked alright since the mother would have cried (loudest).

I think it's a interesting question and I suspect the answer is that this isn't about repatriation of artifacts, it's more about politics.

There was a lot of art taken during the Napoleonic Wars from the Catholic Church too. Napoleon took art from other European countries too but the Italian states were the least able to repatriate anything at the time. A lot of art that was looted still sits in the Louvre. I kind of wonder if repatriation only matters when the artifact came from non western countries to western ones.

What happens, when, for example, a church in Italy is the beneficiary let alone a European country? Does that make it less urgent? I haven't seen any calls for repatriations in this sense that make headlines.
Every business is moving to SaaS because they make more money off of the customers that way. So you can't really spin it as being better for the customer. It's better for the investors in those businesses, and worse for the customers.
Almost all track cars are currently (or started as) street cars. Amateur track days are really pretty popular these days.

Sports cars are made for motorsports. Always have been.

Yes, some people drive sports cars to the mall, and never race. Some people drive trucks in the mall and never tow anything. I wear running shoes to the mall and walk the whole time. Just because a handbrake lever is there doesn’t mean you have to pull it while you’re driving. I’m sure even your car will break the speed limit.
The core of apisix is based on Lua actually, but it supports using Java via RPC.
Technically this is possible with these same techniques if you just initialize the image with the prior one, though I am sure that does not work that well.

Really you need image+text->image instead of just text->image generation. Some examples of relevant papers: "Conditioned and composed image retrieval combining and partially fine-tuning CLIP-based features", "IMAGE GENERATION WITH MULTI-MODAL PRIORS USING DENOISING DIFFUSION PROBABILISTIC MODELS". There was a more recent one I saw on Twitter I don't recall the name of. I wouldn't be surprised if these kinds of things work well by a year from now.

I would disagree with that.

D3 RMAH was bad because D3 was bad. At that time there was basically no itemisation, everything gear was basically dps/main stat/trifecta. D3 was so bad that the fix was to remove trading completely and never been brought back.

People traded D2 items for gear, runes and/or real money for decades, there is no problem and the game is alive for well.

They already don't sell your data. The other economic value that "tracking" data could have is to show you better targeted ads. But when you block the ads, that potential value is irrelevant. So you're choosing to not pay at all, "paying twice" has nothing to do with it.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. You have the opportunity to take something for nothing, and seized it. But at least be honest about your motivations.
I feel like the perverse incentive here (if we can call it that) might be more along the lines of all companies becoming more careless w.r.t. the creation of space debris (because it'll be cleaned up by "someone" eventually, kind of like how it's common to consume plastic with the thought that it'll get recycled), rather than any particular entity doing this with a profit motive.
I agree that the data collection possibilities are limited

this is more so for others who are looking for validation of only wash trading. I’m mostly saying some assumptions have to be made, and relative comparison to other projects and understanding actual trades occur… a lot, moves the assumptions towards more distinct market participants than assuming the nonexistence of any market participants

Refunds used to be free, but for a few years now Stripe keeps the transaction fees.

Although I guess doing lots of refunds would mess with anti-fraud and other systems.

I just do special pricing/discounts to do a $5 transaction (too small could look like credit card fraud).
