Prior to the 17th century there was never any interest on sovereign debt. It was the personal debt of the sovereign, imposed upon the ruling class and died with the sovereign.

Paying interest on sovereign debt is a relatively recent invention that came about with the rise of banks.

If you're Islamic then paying interest remains a sin. That is what Erdogan is following.

Having said that paying interest on sovereign debt is, effectively, a basic income for people who have money. Getting rid of it is a tax on rich people with savings.

However if you do that, then you have to set government taxation and spending policies for a Full Liquidity model of an economy, not a Full Funding model of an economy.

Erdogan has not done that. Other than interest he is still Chicago School from what I can tell. And that way leads to disaster.
I'm talking about working for the corporation, not buying products from it.
Can you share which services allow to pay for conversions?
Of course my tastes are objectively correct 8^). The above is an opinion though.

Marzipan is objectively gross though.
I'm not sure I understand your argument, I find it a bit too conspiratorial, and I'm not a fan of chess.com either.

> What do you mean, 'finally'?

It literally took the world champion to throw a 'tantrum' to get a public discussion about cheating in chess: How should FIDE sanction (online) cheaters? What is the process? What type of evidence is required? What are the statistical methods to distinguish a super GM from a GM with engine help? What anti-cheating measures are necessary?
But that’s not a problem with TLS any more than you giving out your AES keys is a problem with AES.
Tell HN: Toronto Meetup Success
Thanks to a thread asking about HN reader meetups, I posted a comment about Toronto, and then promptly forgot about it.
Another sharp Torontonian reader collected contact info for everyone who responded and sent an email to get us together!

Toronto now has a weekly meetup: Tech Pizza Mondays!
We'll be at Get Well 6-8pm tonight, please drop in!

I want to use FLOSS tech for organizing, so any suggestions for alternatives to meetup.com etc are welcome.

If anyone wants to sponsor food and beverage costs, that would also be extremely welcome :)

Thank you HN!

Yes. It's not terribly useful, but it exists, and could be exploitable.
Did they renew?
Also, the inflationary block reward will go down exponentially.
Is there any cloud that is ad-supported? AFAIK, all of them (including google) is supported by charging directly for it and/or bundling it a different purchase (physical phone, software subscription, etc.)
This is a grammatically correct sentence. It is a misuse of an idiom but semantic/idiomatic checks are not trivial.
If you didn't know Jeff Gerstmann is out at GB and he was the last of the original guard (Vinny, Brad, and Alex left like... a year ago?).
This quarter I've tried to frame their role (to them) as professional students with their task simply to learn the material using all available resources, including the instructor. I try to stress that they are in charge of how much they learn, not me. (And this isn't me trying to get out of work--I'm still working my ass off.)

We're on the third week now, and I'll reiterate it today.

We'll see if it makes any difference.

How did you get a PS2 to play then?

Also note that there are thousands of games that are free to play on PCs. There are even lots of old commercial games that can be downloaded for free now, legally.

Just because you can't afford a particular game doesn't mean that there aren't other options. As a teen I couldn't afford every game I wanted either.
October Sales Review
Honestly, I'd much rather they show their ads to bots than to humans. Hopefully, the day will come when every human is using a competent adblocker, but the ad industries numbers don't go down thanks to the bots, and people can get paid for content that everyone enjoys for free.
Im discussing in good faith here (and used to watch Giant Bomb religiously back in high school, and remember how the Gamespot \ Giant Bomb schism occurred). There are many creators who use NFTs perfectly well to raise money for their work (like the guy that creates the excellent Blender donut tutorials), and use simple fixed prices to monetize (not auctions, so speculation has nothing to do with it). Please dont be rude.
Back in the late 90's I was working as a forklift operator at a manufacturing plant during my summer off from college.

I will never forget walking into the breakroom and on the television was an anchor reporting that studies had shown heterosexual couples were more likely to have children than homosexual couples. Everyone in that break room was laughing.

Someone got paid to do that study.

And when I mention this, someone will inevitably come in and say we can't know until we verify. Sure we can, but more importantly, why the hell was money put towards _THAT_ question, of all questions we could be investigating? At what point are researchers just trying to look busy rather than actually be busy?
Is that an antidote or a confirmation of the chaos? I scrolled through that list and came away just as horrified as I thought I'd be :P
> so you're (sic) chance of survival will be much higher

But if we literally measure the survival by how infinitesimally close to 100% it is, maybe we should just identify the risk profile of who's likely to die. Spoiler: we did that.
If website A embeds website B in an iframe and website B loads Google Analytics, does website A have to show a cookie consent form? Or does website B have to show a cookie consent form inside of the iframe? Does stripe display such a consent form in the iframe?
vk.com was/is Russian Facebook similar service. I know there's more, but that's the only one that springs to mind. Oh... Orkut... that became big in Brazil, IIRC, but I don't think it was entirely non-english.
YouTube only replaced it for me only in the sense that sometimes it's easier to wade through a 10-minute video to find one tiny piece of info than deal with most of the non-GameFaqs faq sites that come up in search.

Best result is a Steam forums link, second best is YouTube, third is Wikia and all that crap (why would you auto-play an unrelated video and make that take up a third of the screen in a sticky div if I scroll down?!?!). Fourth are seemingly machine-generated garbage results that don't contain anything useful but try to look like they do.

Gamefaqs would still be the best on desktop but it doesn't show up in searches so I kinda forgot they existed and also text FAQs suck to navigate on mobile, and 99% of the time if I'm looking up how to find the Yellow Key or whatever it's on my phone, because I'm either not at my computer, or am gaming on it. Some other comments here make it seem like they don't have content for a lot of modern games, anyway.
I'd be all in favor of ebooks as a first-class citizen, except we've been down this road before and we all know where it leads: Books with advertisements embedded in them, which would ruin reading for me.
This is no surprise to me, as a manager of several large groups and pages.

There is no real moderation, raids are commonplace and while trolls are able to bypass the moderation algorithm to write their post, real users regularly get banned for responding to them harshly.

Public groups are simply a chore, anyone can raid with laughing reactions and, depending on the setting, leave comments. The moderation and pending membership queue of a public group that has one or two controversial viral posts becomes immediately unusable.

Fake accounts are rampant and users you ban as a community moderator always come back with a similar name accompanied by "II", "III", "IV"... when you report them as fake accounts, the algorithm responds that there is no problem. When you report oblivious trolls and hate speech (with only one letter changed, think n-word but with a w, etc.), the algorithm responds that there is no problem with the message.

These days, Facebook is simply not safe for most organic uses other than corporate pages and maybe the occasional meme pages. But please, don't read the comments if you value your wellbeing.
Dave, website's down.

Sorry if that old joke is now annoying! On a serious note, thanks for all your work on Giant Bomb back in the day. That site meant a lot to me for a long time.
No one has said individual health choices doesn't matter, that's a straw man. One can both believe individuals should have a choice in taking it or not, _and_ believe the vaccines is the correct choice.

The only authoritarian thing I will do is to tell you to stop with the name calling of those you disagree with..
I agree with the overall spirit of your reply. I'd just add that framing "technical debt" with "bad code" is, ironically, what bad engineers tend to do.

Easy to solve debt tends to be about "bad code". Fun debt is usually about code design. Real fun, grown-up technical debt is mostly (but no always) about architectural characteristics. Code evolving has to go hand in hand with an evolving architecture, otherwise you're just cleaning the kitchen floor while everything's on fire.
To make written English you need to take 1 part Old (Anglo-Saxon) German, 1 part old Norse, and 1 part old French, stir together for a couple of centuries, then, just as its going though a major pronunciation shift have its spelling formalised by a random bunch of academics with an unhealthy obsession with latin and greek.
Fianlly throw away a bunch of letters because the Germans and Itallians who made block type lettersfor printing presses had never heard of them, and bodge your spelling back together using whatever you can just about get away with. (Bring back Thorn!)

Then sit back and get very upset with anyone who tries to remove the 'u' from colour.
I suspect the people who live in Alaska think it's the cat's meow. Rustic, back-to-nature, low taxes, ... And for Hawaii, great weather, lots of surfing, probably a reasonable retirement place. Certainly a good retirement place.

While Alaska's not my cup of tea, I would think that either of these states would be more interesting and rewarding than places like West Virginia, the deep South, the north Midwest, ... Different tastes and all that, but "continental US" is too broad to be a useful distinction re: states.
I got a PS2 as the big birthday present. Back then the free PC games were KNIGHT online, gunbound, Gunz online, Tibia.... slim pickings. Today kids have Fortnite and such, I agree.
College is a few years behind me, but not too far that I've forgotten my general experience.

As a graduate from a mid-tier university in the US:

-Nobody has ever given a shit about Intro to Econ. Practically every single Freshman is forced to take it so everyone bemoans the experience.

-Most schools allow you to take a Community College version of the course and transfer over credits saving you time and money (and effort depending on the school).

-In the "Hierarchy of Course Priorities", Intro to Econ is barely above Anthropology and soft sciences. I.e nobody gives a shit. Nobody has ever given a shit. And nobody wants to read through 20 pages of supply and demand and hear about a dude named Keynes because nobody thinks they're going to be an Economist or care or think its important. (Of course they're detrimentally wrong, but we're not here to criticize them, just see things from their perspective)

-Mid tier universities can have a mix of really good and really bad professors. So while he's pouring out his heart and soul, his faculty colleagues might be giving even less of a shit than his students. Degrading overall morale and willingness to learn. Especially when its entirely possible now to coast through a class online, do a few multiple choice exams, and move on with your life.

-Finally, Freshman classes as a whole filter out students who have poor studying discipline, so the likelihood of encountering failing students will be higher than average.
In this case it is effectively a fancy serial port, which means all the chips do all the work for you, no programming needed.
People definitely do that, what is misleading is that it's only a tiny percent of those 100k. Most likely live within 25 miles.
I always read the 2nd page because the 1st is all SEO crap.
Pretty sure the whistle has already been blown on this one. But it's always better to be treated as a cooperating witness with an immunity agreement rather than as an indicted co-conspirator. (The SEC can't bring criminal charges, but they do pass on any evidence of criminal activity to the Justice Department.)

Why limit your choices to only these specific assets from a "currency" class? Why not include other cryptocurrencies and fiat? And of what value is hindsight here anyway?

The other mistake that's typically made though and I could have expanded on this earlier in my post is in comparison of different "currencies" whereas each have different attributes. BTC for example as you note appears to be deflationary with respect to fiat currencies which are inflationary by design and policy. On the other hand I can't buy groceries with BTC so I would have died during the pandemic and Dollar and Euro would have been superior choices.
It is "carbon neutral" because of a bet on the future of trees that will be planted in replacement for the burned ones. The future trees do not exist yet. And with global warming probably won't come soon enough. So that's extremely stupid and criminal to do what they're doing.
Any change to S230 will mean anarchy...
What tooling are people using to write UI's in common lisp?

> well, minimal SQL support - there's no RETURNING, ON CONFLICT or json

We support both `INSERT ... RETURNING` [0] and the `jsonb` data type [1]. The only feature in your list that we're actually missing is UPSERT (i.e., `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT`). We have a tracking issue [2] if you're interested in following along.

There's a big qualitative difference between inaccurate calculations from flipped signs and software bugs to fundamentally wrong analysis.

Also why aren't the former type of issues caught before being published in the paper?

Double Edge shaving solved a similar problem for me. I used to get irritation every time I shaved ATG but that was because I was hitting the wrong side of my face with 5 blades.. Now I can shave easily ATG just by using light pressure and doing WTG first.
This just in, research has shown that shit stinks. How can we know if "science" doesn't tell us?

Defamation is definitely one problem with this tool. Once there is “evidence”, it can be (ab)used without consequence by someone, because they can simply point at the tool output. If the output is usually “good enough”, it will provide an alibi for their actions: “I didn’t make a mistake, the computer did.”
This is in same category as How many weekends/sunrise/sunsets/friend visits/famous place/restaurant and so on one can have before they themselves or other party die? To me all these numbers sound reasonable.

Either I took conscious decisions to reach this situation, in that case there is nothing to be surprised about. Or maybe things just happened one after other, then how can I suddenly change and take control of things and do it differently.

Well it:

-cuts their profits in half or more because they have to pay for the proxies(or if they own them they can't sell them since they need them)

-it prevents most low skilled people from doing it

-it prevents them from doing on it on an infinite scale, AWS have more than a 100 millions IPs, it's rare to see a grey market proxy provider with more than a few millions clean IPs, and it usually cost like 40 cents per IP, where it can be FREE on AWS

You add basic protection against headless browsers, behavioral analysis etc...And now 99% of the people who can fool you are already making 6 figures in legitimate jobs and won't risk 10 years of jail to earn just a bit more money.
What about all the people with Chromebooks? If they want to use Firefox, their choices are either doing all of their browsing inside of a container that's itself inside of a VM, taking apart the Chromebooks and removing the developer screw to be able to replace the OS, or buying new computers. I expect approximately 0% of them to do any of those things.
Literally the next sentence: "Unsurprisingly, renters tend to have lower incomes than those who own their own homes; they are also more likely to be Black or Latino."

Peggy Guggenheim, Morris Hirshfield, and the Story of “Nude at the Window”
A couple of ideas:

- There's increased interest in more personalized or niche experiences and media i.e. small (in a relative sense or not) streamers, videographers, discord servers. The idea of a generational movie is gone. Seems like the last time that happened was with the Matrix, ironically.

- Much of what the internet serves you is useless. Instead of thinking how you should have heard of the Try Guys because you do X and Y, ask yourself why you need to hear about them and why your train of thought and lifestyle should be altered by the news you were served. Why do the Try Guys need to occupy your mental space? They do so because an algorithm and/or a "journalistic" sphere based on clicks served them to you.

- The world is always bigger than you think, even if you already think it's impossibly big. You can never grasp its size.

The point is that it hasn't been cloned, since cloning it is impossible. Nothing will reproduce the almost miraculous circumstances of its growth & bootstrapping from obscurity.
I had no idea Fandom/Wikicities/Wikia was also founded by Jimmy Wales. I agree, would be amazing to see a academic comparison between the two, one clearly had a bigger impact on humanity as a whole.

On that note, I wonder if Fandom contributes back any funds to the Wikimedia Foundation. If so, it might actually make sense to have two branches of the same software, if the commercial arm can fund the non-profit one.
If Zuckerberg is serious about turning his company around he should bring back Palmer Luckey, but now as head of content moderation.

First thing I thought reading this headline... "That's a few thousand
metric tons of e-waste that won't be going into a landfill soon".

I've little interest in gaming or PS5 hardware TBH. But the entire
conceit of locked-down appliances that could be reused as general
purpose devices, but are deliberately hobbled, is abhorrent to me.

IN 2022, with what we know about climate change, pollution and
e-waste, locking devices is simply spiteful and must be made illegal.

I like to divide solutions into four approximate categories based on what sort of scenario they're applying to:

1. Collaborative situations: your solution works better and better, because people notice and work with you. Ex: designing an icon or coining a word for a new concept; over time more and more people recognize it, use it, etc.

2. Indifferent situations: your solution continues working about the same, because it's not about interaction with others who adapt. Ex: enabling compression on HTML serving, inventing joist hangars, new cancer surgery technique. Most inventions and engineering is in this category.

3. Decay situations: your solution slowly stops working as well, because the world moves on. Ex: payroll software needs to be updated as payroll regulations change.

4. Adversarial situations: your solution quickly stops working well, because others are directly trying to counter your work. Ex: investing strategies, antibiotics, ad fraud, ad fraud detection.

When you're evaluating a solution based on how it seems like it would work in the current world, thinking about how collaborative-vs-adversarial the situation is helps you predict what the full rollout of your solution would look like.
UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada
I fail to see how this was "revolutionary" even back in 2020.

The principle has been known since the Apollo-era when von Braun and his team discovered it by accident (rotating detonations destroyed the F1-engine's combustion chamber) and several teams across the globe have been working on it ever since.

There's prototypes of such engine running at the TU Berlin since at least 2017, for example, and the Łukasiewicz Research Network in Poland even launched a rocket using such engine last year. JAXA also did a successful engine test in space last year.

So a prototype back in 2020 doesn't sound novel or even revolutionary to anyone even remotely interested in rocketry. But alas, press releases being press releases again...
