Considering how much demand there is for stablecoins this seems pretty positive. Don't need to worry about Tether counterparty risk if the backer of a US dollar coin is the US treasury.

Maybe this is what gets us to <1h settlement ACH transfers?
Right now I'm thinking about how to silence my squat rack so it doesn't bother my neighbors when I'm using my punching bag.
There are also a whole lot of white people who have had very few advantages in life who don’t get the benefits of progressive support because they don’t look different in a way that lets people put an easy label on them.
You have to use two ** to "escape" the italicizing that happens with multiple single * in your post.

Neat! I look forward to seeing more - For a long time I found myself saying absurd things like "i work better in distracting environments" or "It's easier to have a clean house with roomates to clutter it up".

What really was happening was that I respond well to body doubling. (Never diagnosed with any sort of executive functioning disorder, but I suspect that's more because I never went and got diagnosed than me lacking one).

Cool idea.
There are only 2 reasons to put this exact wording in your press release:

a) you are extremely stupid

b) you are super woke and are using this as a signalling opportunity

Extremely stupid people sometimes run billion-dollar companies but it's the exception.

No, they suggest one be aware that neutral metrics can none-the-less have an impact which may result in a violation of the law and that therefore other - not made up, just other - metrics be used. I take no position here on this law or the quoted guidance, other than to assert that you have mischaracterized them grossly.
I'm surprised he said that as Glamorama would seem an almost perfect fit. Perhaps too perfect.
One thing I recall from learning C64 BASIC when I was in 6th grade was that, back then, any sort of documentation was difficult to get your hands on. I was given one BASIC programming book as a birthday gift, and it was made clear to me that was all I was gonna get. Technical books were expensive back then, at least for my family they were.
Agreed. Imagine the IRS publishing guidance for exploiting tax loopholes.

That's a good outcome. We'd still be in a situation with so many fewer miners that GPU prices aren't influenced as they have been. The investment becomes risky as it'll always be teetering on the edge. I'm finally looking forward to a new GPU to pair with this 11900K.
At this point I feel like you're going from a reasonable question about Godel's theorem to cranky person unwilling to see how any math that doesn't explain how to fly a 747 is relevant to the world.

There are huge branches of mathematics that don't find immediate practicality in physics. Often these end up being practical in cryptography or quantum mechanics, but sometimes they don't. But to dismiss the entire field that relates to the cardinality of real numbers as uninteresting if someone can't give you a practical application of it shows a simple disregard for other fields of study.
As a European I find it strange how the article and many comments here seem to focus only on it being US citizen's data being hovered up by the boarder control.

No one's private data should be taken without a legitimate cause, no matter their nationality.
You gave me my first honest laugh of the day, thanks! It's a chemo week, so those are in short supply.

As for the actual content of your comment... I can see all of those. Never having walked those halls it's very much blind to me and statements like yours help demystify what I'm looking at.

Every statement you made there is true: I have stable income, I have paid for health care, I have the GI Bill if needed, I know bureaucratic systems, I'm excellent at project management, and I don't give up or derail easily.

Maybe I have a shot. I'll have to sit down and work out exactly what I want to pursue; I don't have long left in the season for applications.
> If you're studying a technical field, an Ivy is probably not a great decision

Sadly that's not really the case in the biological sciences, especially when you're looking for a tenure track job. If you look at people who enter tenure track jobs at even state schools, they invariably have pedigrees from Ivy schools, including postdocs.
Were you on the illusion that they didn't have your biometric data? Or that they didn't have the passenger list with your name in it? Those two are pretty transparent (and honestly, not a big deal).
I've wanted to see an alternative internet for a long time now, but I don't think I've wished for an alt-right internet. This is some djinn stuff.
> You pay the moderators off and you subvert the whole site.

You'll also get a sitewide permanent ban for talking about or mentioning the places where moderators sell their accounts for significant chunks of money. This is automatic and not in response to a report with certain keywords.

It's a problem they really want to pretend doesn't exist.
Kind of curious about this actually.

IIRC ethernet cable side is only magnetically coupled to the port/device side via small transformers. So running DC would probably just melt the cable or transformers but is not really likely to damage the device side (? Not actually sure about this).

But in this case it runs mains AC.. so... Do we expect the cable to blow first due to the high current, saving the device, or do would we expect the brief period of AC would cause enough induced current on the device side to also fry that?
I am really curious: what do you find interesting about this movie in comparison with Sneakers (advised by Leonard Alemán [1]) and War Games? I don't remember any takeaway from Hackers.

First we demanded they censor things. Then we got upset they censored things.

Turns out, there isn't one global human standard on what is worthy of being censored. And this is one reason people only think they support censorship, when they really don't...

No, they are saying that Reddit mods can’t shadow ban you. Reddit mods and Reddit admins are completely separate groups of people.

Reddit the website has algorithms that likely shadow bans new accounts after they’ve received x amount of moderator action.

What proof do you have that you are shadowbanned across Reddit? Mods can only nonshadow ban you from their subreddit.

Just a tip: Consider getting more clarity into the situation before making multiple public posts elsewhere in the future! Despite trying to read for best intentions - The passive aggressiveness in your tone isn’t helping anything.

Because gross margin is obscenely high and investors like that.
That's unbelievably obtuse. There are several marginalized groups that are still vastly underrepresented in business. Giving them a modicum of preference in hiring and firing decisions is barely making the gap smaller. In Animal Farm they Orwell was satirizing oligarchy. The oligarchy in America is still very much white and male.
> You should hire based on talent and experience

I agree that you shouldn’t hire unqualified people. However, oftentimes as a hiring manager you have a bunch of relatively equivalent candidates (let’s say the top 5 of the 100 that applied). In this case there isn’t really a clear choice of who is better and diversity metrics can and should play a role in the hiring decision.
America has far more poor white people than poor non-white people. It seems like this should be obvious but apparently is not.
I think any manufacturer will tell you that one of the worst ways to do business is to sell your product for less than you're listing it in the storefronts of companies willing to buy from you for retail. If you're going to undercut your business partners, they will find someone else to do business with.

Most manufacturers with their own storefronts won't discount product unless they've allowed it in other storefronts and / or until the product has been discontinued. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

On the other hand, Amazon enforcing this as a rule is sort of ass-backwards.

I remember a 2007ish USSC case that utterly changed the premium cigar market because it allowed manufacturers to enforce MSRP against gigantic volume discounters, which raised prices across the board overnight but also gave the manufacturers breathing room when it came to their own profit.
> model of any political situation resembles a moralizing children's cartoon

I'd actually be interested in those cartoons, if you have links. Propaganda pointed at kids is fascinating!
Hopefully companies take the approach of "we just won't collect any categories of data from anyone that we can't collect from children" approach, rather than the "Please scan your government issued ID so that we can surveil you, thanks" one.
I am working on implementing a more easily presentable programming language for my implementation of a multi-modal, multi-mode dependent type theory.

I have been using a barebones version with a minimal and slightly UX hostile (for most peoples standards) version as a personal programming language. There was a random comment in a thread asking if I had anything readable for others. So I started getting a github based ‘blog’ together and started porting the compiler to JavaScript (which I don’t know very well) to have some interesting examples/demonstrations of the type theory and compilation process.

I don’t think the language will be released, but maybe some people will find the theoretical or implementation presentations helpful or interesting.
If only. An old phone number of mine is still somehow tied to my Google account. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to remove it. Google sometimes randomly decides to send the access code to my old number, which I no longer have, instead of using the new one. The only solution when that happens is to try the login again from an incognito window, hoping the Google decides to use the right number. Getting locked out someday is a very real possibility for me.
Unless you don't interact with anyone, that's a completely untenable position due to network effects. eg My family (spread around the world) uses WhatsApp for communicating with each other, which I'm not much of a fan of but it's pretty much impossible to get them over to another platform given that I don't live anywhere near them anymore to teach them and they have to use it anyway for communicating within their residential community etc.

Sure technically I'm not being coerced into using WhatsApp, but it isn't exactly reasonable to say that if I really cared I would just not talk to my family until they figure out how to use a platform I prefer.
How about instead of allowing Americans file free online, we don't have anyone file but rather send out a pre-filled form that just needs sign off by citizens (the government already knows most of the stuff the average person fills in on their tax forms).
I just wish government agencies used data driven decision making vs feelings and intuition more of the time.

If there’s data showing a 15 year retention rate is worthwhile. Great. But I have nothing in front of me which states this objectively

> It says to use 10 AWG minimum, but the cord is 12 AWG (which only supports 20A).

You can run 30 amps in 12 gauge wire if the run is short enough, which that cord seems to be.

I think that is the only part of your story that isn't a what...
By quality of education no. As a method of pre-filtering candidates sure it’s pretty obviously when someone comes from an extremely privileged background.

Also there isn’t really much difference between Cornell, brown, or pen graduates from Any of the decent state schools. Except they are full of themselves more.

Honestly the graduates from 2nd tier state schools seem to have gotten the best education but they had adverse selection coming in because their more competitive peers went to higher ranked/named schools.
All the software services I use to run my bootstrapped business
It is possible I am misremembering, and possibly even smushing two memories of completely different systems together. We are talking ancient history and I only worked on these systems for a few months at most. On your die photos or block diagrams that you are referencing, are there references of where the graphics were hard-coded into the system? If I wanted to show the playfield, I could strobe an address that would draw the playield? If I wanted to show a score of 9 for player two, I could strobe another address? I recall that the playfield was frequently mirrored (left-right or top-bottom), so it was possible to combine bits of playfield for different games.
>Nothing about modern computing evokes an innocent "Wow!" or snicker from me anymore, and I find that very sad.

It feels like there is fun out there to be had but for some reason (stubbornness? Rose tinted glasses?) you're not having any of it. Just this week I saw a 13 year old in a cafe coding something for Minecraft. I had no idea people did that but I enjoyed his enthusiasm and I learned something new that day.

Don't want to sound mean but maybe you've gotten old and your tastes have calcified trying to hang on to times long gone by instead of moving on and trying the new things on the menu.

My playlist is also stuck in the '80s but that doesn't mean there's no good music coming out now that I can also enjoy.

You're also free to pickup vintage computers and tinker with them, or even better, get into embedded and FPGA programming like I said before. There's a whole plethora of options out there that can WoW you. Something must fit you if you keep an open mind and not expect the '90s to come roaring back.

I'm an old dog myself and today there's way more cool stuff for me to tinker than in the old days, better and more open and easier to access tools I just like the free time for it.
For sure, a large index by itself doesn't mean anything. I was more curious about the size on disk and how you manage it on a single machine.

Also curious now, why you say half a 470m URLs? :)
One of those small cozy niche subs I used to follow is now being spammed by bot reposts. Intelligent posts have dropped off dramatically. It is endemic.
Robots that build large-scale solar farms! My friend and I started working on this last year and ended up starting a company. We moved to the bay area and did YC last summer. We've been spending a lot of time on solar construction sites and did our first demo (part of the material handling system) on a site in March. Now we're working on a robotic factory + our team is up to 5 folks.
If a group had infinite budgets to actually act on this data effectively and if you could actually ever prove that this data was used for said purpose, you're still violating the privacy of 99.999999 of the people who don't commit crimes. I'm all for collecting legitimate warranted wide access information about people with legitimate patterns of criminal behaviour. I'm all about collecting information about financial transactions as one form or another the proceeds of crime are traded into legitimacy in regulated channels (at least for now). I'm not ok collecting "whatever I feel like" for the reason "well because we legally can".
Your last sentence sort of sounds like the both sides fallacy. Like yeah, it's not factually incorrect that both countries have corruption, but what point are you making?

Propaganda and information warfare being used by both sides as the weapon that it is, should in no way begin to imply moral equivalence between the victim (Ukraine) and fascist empire builder (Russia).
I'm only part of HN. No I did not write about Avast takeover of the extension; I simply deleted the extension on my own machine.

At the end of the day, "data harvesting and selling user data" is done by programmers. I find it unacceptable that some do it and then come to HN to complain about other people's work.
Professor Thaddeus was the best math professor I had at Columbia, glad to see him popping off like this :)
Ahh, right -- so there's a lot more to performance than just req/sec and HTTP errors. And that's probably the love/hype you're hearing about. (Though Caddy's req/sec performance is quite good too, as you can see!)

Caddy scales better than NGINX especially with regards to TLS/HTTPS. Our certificate automation code is the best in the industry, and works nicely in clusters to coordinate and share, automatically.

Caddy performs better in terms of security overall. Go has stronger memory safety guarantees than C, so your server is basically impervious to a whole class of vulnerabilities.

And if you consider failure modes, there are pros and cons to each, but it can definitely be argued that Caddy dropping fewer requests than nginx (if any at all!) is "superior performance".

I'm actually quite pleased that Caddy can now, in general, perform competitively with nginx, and hopefully most people can stop worrying about that.

And if you operate at Cloudflare-"nginx-is-now-too-slow-for-us"-scale, let's talk. (I have some ideas.)
It's a matter of the difference between when they are granted versus when you receive them. If I tell you I'm going to give you $100k cash in 4 years, that's wildly different from if I tell you that in 4 years I'm going to give you stock purchased at today's price for $100k. Yes, the upside relies on the stock going up, but that upside can change things quite a bit.
In that case, what is the frequency of the light needed to create "salmon"?

Or in other words: is "salmon", "fuschia" and other colors located on the frequency spectrum? If so - why do we have zillions of color spaces instead of just a simple frequency? (or wavelength)

At the moment when you introduce color spaces, you start accounting for how our eye receptors are sensitive to frequencies and leave the realms of physics (mostly because the receptors differ from person to person)

When you take a 450 THz wave, you say it it is "unambiguously red" because it is what happens to be the word for the signal which is triggered by that wave. In most of the people. Roughly the same way.

What I am trying to say here is that a color is a concept as well defined as "pain". You can have all sorts of measures, but none is strict.

Finally, there are no "red photons", or green or blue (you mention them) - this simply does not exist at all as a concept.
I saw this movie in theaters and reviewed it for my 8th grade newspaper. :)
Most of it is fake or calculated (taking real shocks he knows are safe.) Sometimes it's real though, he nearly got himself killed when a Jacob's Ladder fell on his lap. That was real, unintentional, and extremely dangerous.

Thanks for this. I know there is a lot of compression in rankings, so it's kind of like IQ ratings: you can't tell the difference in normal day-to-day stuff until they get fairly large.

It's also like them in that it's a less than rigorous ranking it seems!
OP here - happy to answer any questions or take any feedback about this list.

I would think that inconsistency in how things are banned would increase FB’s legal risk, but maybe they (like all rich things) are exempt from legal risk?
> No, none of these justifies starting a full-scale war, killing thousands of people.

That's the problem with conflicts that have a long history. You can conveniently choose a point it time, like you choose 24.02.2022 and make a case for the side you already support.

For example, if you pick a date in 1944 or 1945 and ignore everything that happened before, you can come to the conclusion that Soviet Union did a full-scale aggression on Germany killing thousands of people. Those bastards, how dared they attach a country of poets and thinkers.
The choice for them was between:

A. Sell the company for multiple billions, pay $700M+ in taxes, and end up with multiple billions

B. Keep the company (don't sell or donate) and have billions in assets

C. Donate the company and lose billions in assets

They were never considering option A, so the choice was between B and C. So their total tax evasion was negligible.

They had no tax obligation to avoid because they were never selling the company.
The last couple times I went to Las Vegas, I went to the In-n-Out outside Flamingo and was disappointed.

For anyone who doesn’t see why this is a bad idea:

If you plug your generator in like this, you can backfeed the step-down transformers in your neighborhood, which then step up the voltage from your generator and energize your local utility lines with potentially several thousand volts.

This can be a nasty surprise for utility workers trying to restore power to what they think are de-energized wires.

It doesn’t matter if it’s like the flu or something else entirely. That’s just a poorly articulated way of saying “it’s not so bad that it warrants the restrictions”.

Restrictions are all but gone at least in Europe and society is still functional. And it would have been sans restrictions too.
Rankings matter because rankings matter to people. If we lived in a purely meritocratic world I would agree with you that for a lot of degrees it wouldn't matter where you go. But the rankings are confounder for two important aspects: money and network reach. Money means bigger and more advanced labs (comparatively. I've been to big school labs and small school labs. Both are hacked together but there's sure a difference). Networking helps you get more papers published, more prestigious internships (i.e. more on job training), more internships in general (lots of students get denied in tighter job markets where it is easy for top tier uni students despite similar skill levels at Freshman and Sophomore years. But internships beget internships), and the networking gets you into the door when you graduate.

I strongly agree that it doesn't matter much where you go to get your education if your goal is to get educated. But if in addition to that education you want a promising career, rankings do matter.
