It's not backed. Once the Tether scam unravels, it's not clear how badly it will affect Bitcoin's price. But it's going to be bad.

There's a chance that Tether has been pumping BTC.
Money transmitters don't have much discretion over their customer list. There are rules (PATRIOT Act AML provisions) that punish their executives with jail time if they have customers who turn out to be criminals, even if said executives didn't know anything about that at the time. And in some countries like France there are laws saying everyone has a right to a bank account. The courts will force a bank to open an account if someone can't get an account due to de-platforming. It was used by the ex-bitcoin exchange MtGox in the past, I think.

Yeah, pretty close, although it's not like most universities will allow students to skip straight to graduate school. Our first cohort of students just graduated this past year, so we're just now getting a sense of how this is likely to play out.

My son, who's majoring in CS, is starting with 300 (junior-level) courses in both math and CS - although the departments were happy to allow him to start even deeper in the curriculum if he wanted. Another student, who collaborated with one our our math PhD instructors on some original research that's about to be published, is starting with at least one graduate math course this year (the last I heard, anyway).

It occurred to me, that I was told about Unison Lang recently and this language uses content addressable functions.

In other words, the code for a function is hashed and that is its identity that never changes while the program is running.

If we use the same approach with Python, each object could have a hash that corresponds to the code only, instead of the data. This is the objects identity even when added to the book keeping data of another subinterpreter.

This requires decoupling of book keeping information from actual object storage. But replaces pointers with lookups which could be inlined to pointer arithmetic.

Looking at all the comments here, it looks like they could just check for if the title contains Dick's Sporting Goods and then it'll be spam. Oddly... that's what mine are too.

In my opinion, room services is horribly overpriced. There have been incidents where the delivery person assaults the guest.

When I used to travel on business, I would put a notepad next to the phone (the one by the bed) and write on it what city I am in and what day ("Wednesday"). This helped cut down on confusion.

It did not help when I went to the wrong Springfield though. The area code for Springfield, MO (417) is a single digit different than the area codes for Springfield, IL (217 & 447). Waking up in the wrong state is not the kindest way to discover that your territory now includes Illinois. Oops.
> significantly better than C++

You say that like there’s some scalar measure of “better”.
Russia enjoyed a brief surplus with high gas prices. It has collapsed and the government is now running a towards a hefty deficit. About 90% gone in just two months. Government spending is being cut down by 10% next year, while a greater share is allocated to the military, meaning actual useful domestic spending is going to go down even more. The sanctions are having a strong effect.

The military spending is cushioned by the fact that they had so much shit lying around to throw into the fire, but this will continue to grow worse over time.

Contrary to popular belief, Russia cannot simply switch selling gas from europe to china either. The pipeline infrastructure does not exist to turn it into LNG and ship it in comparable quantities.

Tesla gets ready to unveil 'Optimus' robot September 30th
I don't know how you interpret this as "a mere depiction of gay characters."

The given quote in the video you linked to was:

"Excited now, he pushed into her, and she squeezed her eyes as tightly as she could, her tongue circling her lips. He pushed harder, his breath heavy and labored. She scratched his back, and he cried out. She bit his ear and pulled his hair."

This is a description of what appears to be heterosexual characters. Nor does it appear to be a "mere depiction". I would reserve that for something like "Heather Has Two Mommies" (a mere description of a homosexual couple) or "Mr. and Mrs. Brown" (a mere description of a heterosexual couple who have befriended a bear from darkest Peru).
> there's no virtually no explanation of what makes it "censorship-resistant,"

As far as I can tell, what is meant to make them censorship-resistant is that they claim they will not drop customers based on pressure from censors. They're selling that resistance to censors as "censorship-resistance."
That would be a failure in leadership. Two people conflicting doesn't necessarily mean either are toxic. If a legitimate complaint falls on deaf ears, even people who aren't toxic can become rude in their frustration.

It could be a legitimate problem with the underperforming person (that may or may not be fixable), an overreaction to a perceived problem, an interpersonal conflict between two people, a toxic employee, or some combination of the the above.

If you have a toxic person and an underperformer dragging the team morale down, you have two problems that need to be fixed.

A good leader will dig deeper to try to understand what's really going on and act accordingly. In the scenario you've described, digging deeper would mean having the person making the claim present concrete examples and soliciting outside opinions if folks on the team are unwilling to give theirs.

In my experience, things usually fall apart due to a failure to act rather than acting on false positives.

If you‘re willing to spend money on a great book that teaches you all the basics of Rust, I can only recommend Programming Rust, 2nd edition (OReilly). It includes tons of examples, code snippets and is also a good resource for looking up stuff once you‘re done reading it. It also includes many passages comparing C++ with Rust, so that might be useful for you.
It‘s a great book for anyone, who already knows a few programming languages. Programming beginners, should look elswhere tho.
It can be grift and censorship resistant at the same time. The free market embraces not only JIT, but many other distressing tactics that only just work.

I suspect, if they can stay ahead of the regulators, we'll be looking back at services like this in 20 years and note:

1. Riddled with scams and fraud.

2. Better overall results than the well regulated banks. The banks tend to rely on regular bailouts to maintain the illusion of competence, and don't fund a lot of ideas that would be good.
That's the privilege of institutional power - you can control reading lists and access to books, and it doesn't register as a ban.
You can of course link with Rust code that exports a pure C ABI. Such code works just like a shared library coded in C/C++.

My biggest worry with these kind of programs is that the questions are invariably multiple choice ones. How would we practice proofs or questions where the answers are not "seen"?
For "proper" graphs, petgraph: https://crates.io/crates/petgraph

For trees without parent pointers: Just roll your own along the lines of the following. This fits nicely into rust's ownership semantics

struct Node<T> {
children: Vec<Node<T>>
}

For trees with parent pointers, I'm not sure what's most common. Potentially Rc with Weak, potentially petgraph, maybe something else.
Sure, and I'm free to complain about them on HNews. :)

Anyone may believe what they want; that's not a shield from criticism.
Yeah, they wont get that. Pretty much zero chance this happens.

Hum... Your comment reads like "I have this very specific and subjective process that works for me; people that do things differently are too egocentric to notice their incompetence". Your colleagues may react badly to that style.

I believe (but I'm not sure) I do get what you re trying to say, but not every TODO reflects some eternal trade-off. Some are for real clear improvements (like the "there isn't any code here" into "the code was written" on my example) whose history won't add any value after they got done.
The "concentration of useful material" is only part of the calculus; the 'hazards associated with the other stuff' is one also (and current mines of course have this, too!).
Defective Altruism
Parents can opt their own children out of reading material that conflicts with their beliefs. The issue is that those same parents don't want ANY children reading those books.

> So what makes this different?

You're seriously comparing the banning of books from libraries to kidnapping and brainwashing kids? Nobody is trying to "genocide a culture" here, people just want to have their own views represented and are being denied. That is an absurd comparison to make.
> Who is we?

The developed world.

> It simply means that you get to keep your own money and get to decide each on your own if you want to test your pills before popping them or if you want install safety systems in your car before hitting the road.

Again, we tried that. We have concrete evidence of how that works.

"Test your own pills" is silly enough I don't think I need to address it.

Car manufacturers got pushed, kicking and screaming, into seatbelts, airbags, and a variety of other safety measures. Market pressure didn't do it, but thousands of people a year stay alive because of that regulation.

> Either Rust is significantly better than C++ in his view

Probably this one:

- Rust has the clear goal of memory safety, which is an active issue in the kernel (see: Kees Cook's Kernel Self Protection Project), even more so when it comes to drivers which are a lot more variable in quality and have very variable levels of oversight, which is why those are the primary use case.

- Rust has a much more expressive type system, especially without the need to go into template weeds.

- Rust has a lot less implicit behaviours.

- Rust features tend to be more orthogonal and mis-interact less with one another.

- While Rust has a fairly steep learning curve, short of unsafe it doesn't kneecap you, if it doesn't like what you're doing (right or wrong) it tells you, it doesn't go off into the weeds doing the wrong thing.

They get through spam filters by default in my experience. Gmail is pretty lenient on established companies that obey the CAN-SPAM Act.

The issue is that many Republican voters were marking them as spam, which then taught Gmail to put them in spam for (at least) that user.

I think there's a missing book - 'Thinking In Rust'. The mechanics of borrow-checking, lifetimes, std lib, tokio can all be learned quite quickly. It's the muscle memory of techniques and design patterns that takes the longest to re-learn.
I thought DMARC/DKIM was necessary for delivering to Gmail for years now; in any case, there should be few who can't use a backup email to subscribe, as your newsletter won't be the only thing that has these anti-spoof requirements.

Yes, for some games, but not on a consistent basis.

I still enjoy games, but with adult life I'm playing either after diner (if I'm not too tired) or on the weekends, and gaming competes with other entertainment (series, movies, going out with friends/dates with SO, etc). So as I've grown it takes less time overall.

I am, however, making a schedule for Homeworld 3 and KSP2 when they launch (:
Let's be honest: if the post had said "don't continue this discussion with members on Twitter against their will, or we will escalate" I would have had a much more subdued reaction to it.

If that's what they meant, their word choices were very poor, because that is emphatically not what they said. What they said was "don't interact with anyone involved on any platform in any way."
I believe this particular author admits that the ERoEI of renewables is in fact higher than fossil fuels and unlike them increasing.

Could be wrong on that. He definately mentioned ERoEI which set me twitching as usually that indicates insanity is about to follow. But in this case I think he got ERoEI correct but then just somehow got to the same bad conclusion that people who get it wrong do.

edit: on reflection he wasn't quite as explicitly positive as I recalled:

> That in itself is not particularly problematic. Based on the favorable energy return on energy invested (EROEI) in renewable technologies—well above break-even

But still seems enough to make that complaint irrelevant (depends on whether he buys into the society needs X and renewables and nuclear can only provide Y stuff. Which some of his other comments seem to imply).

Note that ERoEI is a nearly totally useless measure and the vast majority of people quoting it do not even understand what they are saying. So all of this bit of your steelman isn't even wrong, just doesn't really make any sense.

> To attempt to steelman the argument AIUI: If we replace the EROI of fossil fuels with the EROI of renewables, a much larger portion of the economy will have to be dedicated to generating energy. This will make everything more expensive, and a lot of activity we take for granted today will be too expensive to be maintained, even though it might still be technically feasible
> my manager, as he was leaving, chided me and said, "Go home to your family. Work will be here in the morning."

I think the techies on HN should come up with something like this:

1. Get a custom domain for your emails

2. Backup your google emails

3. Setup your own hosted email server somewhere with ability to receive emails. IMAP etc.

4. To send emails, use an SMTP provider (help with the spam issue)

5. Forward the existing emails from google to this new address (not sure if you can bulk forward)

6. Setup IMAP on the server and make sure you are using a local email client on your desktop that saves emails locally

Will this work ?

I never saw any evidence that Google ever did this, at least at scale.

I have no idea what you mean by your made up word, but the simple fact is that people produce things of value, on average at least, and that means that more humans are valuable.

Then there is the power-law concern: while the typical human is producing things of value, some people are producing things of extreme value, such as break-through scientific and engineering, which benefits humans immensely.

This means that more humans can make more valuable things, and that by having fewer people we also have a higher chance to miss those exceptional humans.

None of this really should be in dispute for people on these boards.

Also while some years sucked, if you picked the high point of any five year period you will find that in almost all things the current period is the best. I will except only privacy.

Exactly what he says.

There are more single-player games than multi-player, but overall more hours have been spent (or are currently being spent) on multi-player games. For example, someone might play BioShock Infinite once and complete the story in under 15 hours and then never touch it again, but easily rack up hundreds of hours in Apex Legends.

As you've said though, there's a sampling bias. Going by the "current players online" metric might diminish how many players are playing single-player games without being online.

There are no links on the page. There are spans, styled to look like links, with an attached event handler which sends some cryptic ID associated with the pseudo-link to the server over a websocket. The server sends back messages on the websocket which look like:

url_call /page/pliant/ZI0TDFOV/0DFXKE5\u0001\u0002

The handler on the websocket reads the messages (in a slightly roundabout way) and passes them to a function which parses them (in a highly roundabout way), and then goes into a big if-else ladder which dispatches on the first token to do various things; commands supported are:

section_overwrite
section_head
section_tail
section_before
section_after
section_delete
image_write
image_copy
url_call
url_jump
url_return
focus_set
scroll
hook_visible
clipboard_trigger
javascript

The url_call command winds up doing this:

window.location.href = decodeURI(arg[1]);

It's ingenious, but completely demented and unnecessary.
The Canada convoy protest was peaceful, except for the bribery, threats, assault, dangerous driving and setting a building on fire.

A few things. The hardest thing about Rust is to forget many of tthe paradigms or aesthetical ideas other languages hammered into your brain. Programming Rust like you would program Python, Javascript or C++ is going to give you a hard time, but each time in a different way. If you program Rust in the Rust way, suddenly things become easy.

That means what the best way to start is depends on your background. In my eyes you can do nothing wrong with going through the rust book you already mentioned. Having read 4 different Rust books I have to say this introduction in combination with "Programming Rust" by Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff, Leonora F. S. Tindall is probably the best way to get started. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/programming-rust-2nd/97...
