Not exclusively crypto, but when I see adverts for crypto on TV, and hear it pitched over radio, then I wonder.

At that point it's appealing to the least sophisticated investors, which to me is the first signal of a bubble.

The nature of a ponzi scheme is that it starts small, but then has to appeal to an ever larger group. This ends with mass advertising to reach the biggest group of all. Then what?

Couple this with the tone. Crypto is being marketed as an investment, not as a utility, not as a currency. Its sole appeal is "it will go up".

Crypto itself is mostly a solution looking for a (legal) problem. While the killer app is facilitating illegal activity (which has some value for moral, but illegal activity - alas a minority of the actual use case) that's a hard sell. Finding a legal killer app though is proving elusive. Most things it _can_ do are already done better/faster/cheaper/simpler another way.

Of course it has some utility, but nowhere near the hype levels.

Tech stocks - yes, they are high, and will likely correct some. But apple, Google, Microsoft, amazon, Facebook and friends are all generating huge amounts of revenue and profit. Their stock values are massive, but their profit levels are unprecedented.

Startups get a lot if attention, but from VCs which is not public money, and not traded to the public, so is a different kind of bubble, unrelated to the 1929 depression etc.

If the same number of EVs have to end up shipping via the same roads, the wear and tear on the roads is not necessarily less for seven trucks @80000 vs six trucks @88000. Remember a good amount (~32000) is the truck and trailer. Or even 42x cars driving themselves.

An 80,000 (current max normal weight) truck is actually sometimes less contact pressure than heavier cars - 18 very large tires vs. 4 small ones.

Not to mention the fuel. That's why many western US (and Australian) states allow > 80000 trucks - it can be a win-win. Economical sometimes => ecological.
Note that this uses not only trigraphs but also digraphs (here `<%`, `%>` and `%:`), which are similar to trigraphs in intended usages but behave much differently to digraphs in that it is a proper token and not a preprocessor substitution pattern. `printf("??(foo??)<:bar:>%c", "quux"<:1:>)` prints `[foo]<:bar:>u`, for example. Therefore digraphs are deemed less dangerous (however obscure) than trigraphs and do not require any compiler options.

> They did, they just smarter than Russia

Care to explain this?.
Q1 and Q2 of 2020 had negative real GDP, so yes, 2020 was a recession. When they say back to back quarters of negative GDP does not mean a recession, what they really mean is not having back to back quarters of GDP does not mean its not a recession. as in 2001 when GDP shrank in Q1 and Q3 but not Q2.

Almost every situation in history of 1 0 1 is considered a recession but 2011, but that one wasn't considered one because Obama was president. however, every time that I know of, back to back shrinking quarters has always been a recession, as far as I know.

And it matches up, we all know its a recession now (except those who want to deny its one because of their political view). its a recession, you only look more wrong trying to deny the obvious.

> It is also ironic how Apple markets heavily on how you can take great RAW photos or videos but somehow you have to use lightning USB2 speeds to transfer them. Lightning is barely smaller than USB-C, and clearly my iPhone thickness will not change if it switches to USB-C.

There is nothing about a USB-C cable or port that mandates SuperSpeed (err, 5GB or higher) data transfer rates. Most compliant charging cables are still Hi-Speed (480 mbps), and capped at 30W (higher requires an active component in the cable).

Similarly, there is nothing about Lightning that restricts the transfer speed to Hi-Speed. There were iPad Pro models with lightning that supported a USB 3 adapter, which had (I believe) 5 Gbps transfer speed. However, the decision was made to switch the subsequent generations of Pro models to USB-C, leaving that part as a bit of a curiosity.

I suspect because of the sheer volume of lightning cables out there, Apple simply doesn't want to cause confusion by creating 'tiers' of certified cables that have the same set of plugs on the ends and which thus look identical, but which have different properties. If only the USB-IF considered such things.

> If we want to really be more environmentally friendly, wouldn't it make more sense to have no cable at all with the devices we buy, force the sellers to clearly tell the consumers about it and offer the cable on the side only if needed?

One could hope! This should also shrink the packaging down further, having a measurable cost reduction on shipping as well as packaging waste.

I go through a lot of phones, but have relatives who are on a 3-4 year upgrade cycle. Thus, I've been able to find good homes for any excess USB-C to lightning cables (and they've been ecstatic when I've given them powerful multi-port USB-C chargers as gifts as well).

Hopefully we'll see countries continue to change their laws so that you don't need to bundle cables, chargers and/or headsets with purchases. France I believe finally changed their laws requiring a bundled headset, and it went into effect this year.

> I would also add that all lightning cables won't suddenly go to the landfill in 2024. Many people will keep their iPhones/AirPods for a while after that date. Many would probably donate their old lightning cables to whoever needs them

I'd expect the vast majority to be trashed by 2029, along with the majority of USB-A chargers. I've had support issues where family has thought their devices had bad software or failing batteries, but it turns out they had accidentally switched to some cheap, low wattage USB-A charger.

I somewhat expect the wide array of differences between USB-A, USB-C power delivery support, and active vs passive cables will mean that devices may start to give troubleshooting guidance for slow charging. At this point, I would expect quite a few USB-A chargers and cabling to go to the trash.
They would? Growing up we compared continents so it would be the west coast of all of North America from Panama to Alaska as a point of comparison to Africa.

I saw the film "2000 Mules."

Amongst the claims of this film was an assertion of open drop boxes on public streets with no cameras for surveillance. Several FOIA requests for camera footage also failed, as the cameras "malfunctioned."

While there may be innocent explanations for the odd cell phone location tracking, this fact remains:

"The most secure election in history" cannot be as claimed with unmonitored and publicly-accessible drop boxes.

This cannot continue if an honest election is the goal.

p.s. I regularly split my voting ticket, so I am not as biased as some might suppose.
What we are experiencing now is inflation, not hyper inflation. Inflation is currently around 10% per year.

Hyperinflation is where prices are changing during the day - effectively 10% or more in a day.

Normal inflation is not new, and nothing to panic about - its how the world currently works, and how it has for at least 50 years.

I get that if you are in a country which has had low inflation for a long time, then this time can be scary. But actually this is pretty normal for most of us.

I followed the same path. I spent so much time trying to design some elaborate system that I could own from top to bottom but eventually I found that apple notes was “good enough”. And worst case scenario I can copy and paste my notes into a markdown file and deal with it there once syncthing move it to my Linux box.

Being able to pick up any device and seamlessly continue editing the same document without messing with a third party app is pretty nice.

> For example, accessing a std::span or a std::vector outside of its bounds would abort the program, and so would accessing an empty std::optional. This can be done while staying Standards-conforming because undefined behavior implies that the library can do whatever it wants, which includes aborting.

Getting bad operations to abort execution (e.g. by throwing an exception) seems impossible to ship, not in the least due to certain, uh, entities really being against it. But abusing UB to allow people to turn on checks is excellent. This is why we should be very careful about what we choose to standardize-a common request is making signed overflow wrap instead of being UB, which prevents its diagnosis in this way.

Hole up...so the premise of this article is if we don't burn the top 70% then we can't use the other 30% for other things? Like you couldn't pump off the 70% to a different container to get at the stuff in the bottom? Using the material for other stuff isn't great but it's at least not burning it and releasing it into the atmosphere directly. We'll find other solutions for these other things but in the meantime we'll try to burn less. Article seems a bit nonsense.

Not when a judge has such qualms that the evidence is sealed.

"At a recent hearing, Totenberg sealed the report, citing a strong reluctance to draw any public scrutiny to the sensitive details in the case. Totenberg would not even allow an election integrity group to openly advocate for disclosure of the report..."

The USB-C specification is 8.5 years old at this point, and we will have another year before this mandate takes effect.

Hopefully future EU mandates can optimize that near-decade timespan from standardization to being legally allowed by hardware manufacturers.
The US has been subsidizing Roscosmos for a while. It wouldn't look great if Russia pulled out of the ISS. Also, I thought I read something about not wanting to lay off rocket scientists and have them go looking for work in Iran or North Korea.

Why did we have to polarize nuclear and renewables??? Why can't we just aggressively build out and develop both and leave it at that? There is money and resources enough to accomplish both, but as a society we just choose to allocate our time and efforts on stupid bullshit. If people are serious about fighting climate change (which I don't think very many peole are) then we need to Manhatten project the solution. A 'war' needs to be declared and some drastic lifestyle changes need to be made by most of the world population. Everyone talks about nuclear and renewables as if it can only be one or the other. I don't ubderstand this sentiment on HackerNews.
I don’t think that’s how Rome declined.

Affordable housing with a high density plan isn’t the solution. Making every city liveable by creating networked public transport and robust infrastructure is the solution.

The former strategy of high density will choke liveable cities and make housing even more unaffordable. More tier 3 cities should be raised to the same standard of living as Bay Area cities.

If MA supported high density in Bay Area and then backed off, it’s very peculiar indeed. Inconsistent and doesn’t inspire trust or confidence.
I am saying that this legislation started with the EU parliament regulating at a time when the consensus was micro-USB and then transitioning to USB-C in the intervening time.

So the fear that somehow the EU will freeze in time while the rest of the world adopts futuristic connectors is unfounded.
With the ACCA being designed in 5 months and flown in 20 months from the go-ahead, I would say 5 years is definitely possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if its got a heavy use of composites as well, in order to reduce he number of total parts. For the ACCA, they had 300 structural parts vs 3,000 metallic and 4,000 mechanical fasteners vs 40,000 otherwise.

Does battery technology need to be on an exponential curve? We already have electric car batteries that can power your home for a good long time. Note that a battery for a home is cheaper as there is no weight restriction, unlike with a car. You can use old refurbished batteries that are no longer suitable for cars.

On the grid scale, a pumped hydro facility can provide energy storage for thousands. Energy storage is technologically a solved problem, it’s just not equally distributed yet.

I don’t touch the front end development. But I am very much a “generalist”.

- back end development in a few popular languages

- about an average “data architect” for lack of a better word. I’ve led implementations on every type of database imaginable including ETL type jobs and online systems.

- “DevOps” (at least if you give me an AWS account) including setting up networking infrastructure, logging, monitoring, CI/CD, etc.

I’ve led plenty of pre-sales meetings, writing SOWs, pretty PowerPoint slides and architecture diagrams etc.

The “generalist” is very useful when you need someone to lead projects and to understand how everything fits together. I’ve had to wear all of the above hats at startups. Now I wear those same hats at a cloud provider I’m sure you have heard of. I specifically targeted my current position because I wanted to be a generalist.

I’m no special snowflake. Many of my coworkers who came up the ranks in startups and have similar experience can do the same.

Is there any language other than javascript that has the key word as the full "function"?

Again its personal preference, but I'm curious if there is a language you use often that makes you like that specifically?

Java is a bit like that, but has the C++ data types as its function key word basically. I'm trying to think if I am forgetting one.
Language culture is a thing. I’d rather be surrounded by competent functional programmers than Java developers.
Effective contract monitoring is critical for overseeing the progress and performance of all of your organization's contracts. While some contract managers track their contracts manually, many others prefer to automate contract lifecycles, which allows for easier monitoring, maximum time efficiency, and increased risk mitigation. There are a few best practices to keep in mind when monitoring your legal agreements; let's go ahead and go over them in detail below.
Just a random example: I’m involved a bit in the Magic: The Gathering resale market and I know plenty of unscrupulous sellers who would gladly buy fake stamps to send their merchandise if it would save them even a few cents on every sale. Postage adds up when you’re shipping hundreds or thousands of envelopes in a low margin, competitive market. And I imagine there are lots of other collectable and re-sale markets with similarly principled people.
Ha, I have no idea what goes on in their minds. But it took a lot of energy to pretend to care all the time when i'm around those types (because they see that I have the same skin color, and immediately their expectations are primed).

Mmm I think renewables could cover it without the need for fusion.
I think there is one potentially big issue with renewables though. The supply chain for panels, wind turbines and batteries involves China quite heavily.* This year has been a hard lesson in the essentiality of energy security. Depending on what plays out geopolitically, renewables could suffer from deglobalisation and increasing hostility between superpowers. The low cost per MW of renewables obviously makes some supply chain assumptions.
* This issue also pertains to fossil fuels, particularly gas infrastructure.

I also think that it is worth noting that renewables are a peaceful and ubiquitous energy source. Successful fusion would carry significant military advantages, which may cause a lot of disruption depending on who gets it first. This is always the way when someone develops a denser energy source.
