It’s a failure of culture, not legality. All crypto is open source, if it isn’t then it truly doesn’t deserve the title. Apathy on the part of investors to allow so much privilege to founders in the form of token distribution and outright control over the protocol are as unsustainable as they are preventable.

The law can come in and add friction to corruption, along with everything else, but it is only by returning to the culture in which crypto was founded that you will get anything of value - regulations or not.
how do you incentivize building, and yet have a vacancy tax? If you invest in building, but couldn't lent it out (as it's been incentivized so lots of new competition), it would get hit with a vacancy tax! So the risk of building becomes high under a vacancy tax - therefore, it would cost more to incentivize.
I think the parent was saying that your claims would simply not be credible. Not that your claims are somehow physically blocked from being uttered.
Environments tend to leak in places you don't expect. Mostly because they weren't designed to hold secrets in the first place. It's also another class of vulnerabilities applicable, where environment variables tends to be used for session data and can affect logging formats and other external integration points, generally in the web and perhaps specifically in the java ecosystems.

Files on the other hand has access control as a primary feature. They carry meta data that makes it obvious which uid can access the data and which gets included with backups and storage.

Apart from that, there are also possible encoding issues of secrets in environments. Secrets must be kept verbatim for integrity reasons better more suited for binary formats.

Then there are the size restrictions. An environment of several kilo- or even megabytes seems plenty until for some ridiculous reason it's suddenly not, with not at all obvious results.
Ok, that's all pretty subjective.

I said in another comment, If you were a police officer, pilot, truck driver, deep sea diver or in numerous other professions, you'd be expected to do some weird hours and have a lot of time away from home.

This is where I think people are being unreasonable. Remote work, we have it better than ever, no commutes, no time away from family, almost non-inconvenience but now, even a late night meeting is against "my time".

I think with remote work, the cost of walking 50 meters, sitting in a comfortable chair and dialing into a meeting from 11pm-12am is pretty inconsequential all things considered. You can probably have the meeting in your jammies on the couch.

I'm not 100% discounting that it's inconvenient, but I mean, relative to the things I've been through and others have to go through, it's minuscule in comparison.

Lastly, I think you're just lucky you work for a company who allows you to just say no to meeting with your peers in other time zones. Again, you might be lucky and everyone has a good crossover with you, but many don't have this luxury, and never meeting with your peers, at least where I work, means you're not part of the team and you're getting fired.

We rotate the difficult meetings in the group so we all feel some of the pain, but three is a bit of pain and I guess that's why it's called "a job" and why I'm part of a team.
Why would you need hacking for that? Classic https://xkcd.com/538 nerd imagination.

Simply seize some devices and place the incriminating evidence on them. Or just place a device with incriminating evidence among other seized evidence. Crime shows make you think every item is individually serialized and bagged or whatever but in reality they're just going to make a bag labelled "15 SD cards and 6 USB sticks". Stuff like hard drives is just going to be "hard drive #6" in the log. Just swap the stickers, easy as pie. You think evidence is stored securely? Secure is expensive, and it's all stuff of guilty people anyway (otherwise it wouldn't be seized).
At least in the PC realm, most stuff has reached a peak:

Audio? Anything in the last 20 years can do CD quality sound.

Video? 4K display makes pixels impossible to see, IPS and OLED panels have great colour depth and contrast.

Storage? even base model SSDs can pump hundreds of megabytes a second.

Performance? Most apps are limited by how fast I can input, not the CPU.

Basically there's no wow factor anymore, the most interesting advances recently have all been around battery life for laptops.
I know. I'm still curious about whether there are bots using state of the art text generation or not.
Animation is the hardest and will be the long pole of visual realism in games. I've seen better water than that, but it's still hard to make Pixar-quality water in video games. Paradoxically, the more realistic the graphics, the easier it is to notice flaws. Regardless, still impressive video.
> I wish more games focused on actually being fun to play instead of having long cut scenes and micro transactions.

IME games do. But then I also don’t play any shooters.
A fair point, but I think that really just lends credence to what I'm suggesting, that we expand upon that, since it isn't standardized or all that useful. If you were encountering it for the first time, what would you think WntA did?
I think they should rather fix those things before trying to make everything so photo-realistic. But maybe that's just my taste.

Muh “constraint bad” argument. Constraint on control is the whole point - you don’t even understand the explicit purpose of the thing which you critique.
I think cross TZ meetings should not recur in the same TZ.

Once way to make things more fair is to set up two or three bi- or three-weekly recurring meetings to cover all participants time zones. So everyone gets it to happen in their own TZ at least every other week or so.

I know the practice is often different, depending on where the company's headquarters are, but I encourage folks to spread the rotating TZ idea out of fairness and respect for colleagues elsewhere.
Which was inspired by Oberon, which had an entirely text-centric UI, with tiled windows and controlled with a mouse... and no command line.
This is its key weakness.

You have to write many more tests and add a lot of predicates as pre/post conditions (invariants) to functions to check at runtime what a more modern compiler could have told you at compile time.

It adds a lot of friction and slows down the development process.

Combined with Clojure having lazy evaluation and nil punning it becomes frustrating in larger, domain heavy code bases.

Simple common “CRUD” line of business applications with shallow code paths and a database schema to serve as a secondary type system would probably suffer less from this, explaining why some devs say they don’t experience this.

For comparison, Typescript became so popular precisely because it mitigates similar problems for JavaScript once code based grew to non-trivial sizes.
speaking of "narratives" ...

"market cap" is a terrible metric. Inflated assets often have very high market caps.

Look at the recent wave of "market cap" reductions on other stocks of questionable value like Facebook.
On the other hand, many other places have much more accessible health care with similar or better quality.

Definitely some selection bias in there, but not "the US vs the world".

Thanks. I know how to search the internet. I was more interested to hear someone's opinion. Preferably opinion of someone who worked with Clojure and another Lisp dialect.
I can foresee one answer to the question 'why would someone do this?'. It's called a potent cocktail of vengeance and self-destruction. People who self-medicate through harming others are always looking for a way to escalate. Look up the story of UGNazi, and don't skip the ending.

It looks like they invested a ton of money on texture optimization and lighting algorithms. However the animations look like the basic skeletal animation / skinning you can learn from an OpenGL/DirectX tutorial. That imbalance is kind of weird.

I'm kind of the opposite, I enjoy doing things in the day and sitting on my butt at night.

So there you go, we're different.
This is likely measurement bias - a statistical distortion caused by more easily available or better-working diagnostics.

(for the same reasons, some countries want to reduce CoViD testing so it appears there are fewer cases, exploiting this distortion.)
This comment terrifies me to the bone. Note: I'm a long term Eastern European immigrant (not Russian or Ukrainian). Unlike most of HN, I have been in a war, it's much worse than most civilians imagine it. Much.

One of the things we knew during the cold war was that nuclear war would be the ruin of society. It was rightly feared. Keeping the peace between the two nuclear powers wasn't seen as a sign of weakness, everyone realized the alternative. Aside from the immediate millions of deaths, the longer term (ie after the first day) effects would be capital C Catastrophic, even if the threat of nuclear winter was overstated.

I read this as: oh it wouldn't be so bad. We could probably shoot many of them; and many won't make it, probably. This is incredibly optimistic; Russia has started modernization of its nuclear arsenal long before us because it has a stronger reliance on nuclear deterrence in defensive capability than we do.

At the time of writing this, this is also the top voted comment. Simply terrifying. Every day I have the fear we're going to head straight into the new Cuban missile crisis and one that we may not be so lucky to escape.
That's all good but also irrelevant. Was specifically asking about Waydroid.

HN is proof itself that Software Engineering isn’t a prerequisite for expertise in the space. It’s like a construction worker talking about architecture.

The expertise relevant in blockchain are economics/game-theory and cryptography - software engineering is to cryptocurrency what typing is to writing.
I would look it up. Genes can encode for multiple things, so it doesn’t make sense to name them like variables, genetics is far far more complex than computer programs. Case in point, the Wnt gene codes for multiple developmental characteristics across insect groups - you can’t simply say they code for this wing protein, it does far more.
There are tradeoffs.

(I've owned and used Powerbooks and MacBooks from the beginning -- I had a Powerbook 100, the 16 mhz 68000 with a lead acid battery. Used a 140 and 170 of that era as well. And a Duo230, and a 5300, and a Duo 2300, Tibook G4, White x86 Macbook, 2012 era Air and MBP, 2015 MBPs, a work 2017 MBP, Last x86 Air, M1 Air).

Early machines had a lot of flex. The hinges creaked. The trackball gummed up. Some of their keyboards were good (the 140 and 170 especially had _really_ nice mechanical keyboards, and a good trackball as well). And some of the keyboards were mushy goo (the Duos, and the Tibook to a lesser extent. Basically the low point till the 2016 MBP). Despite the magnesium frames in the duo, the whole computer could flex enough that the battery would disconnect while in use. Also, the Duos were a royal pain to repair -- I remmeber an hour or more to disassemble to get to one little piece in the back that needed replaced -- I think it was a serial port.

The spring loaded keyboard on the G4 (and the toilet seat ibooks) was great from a maintenance POV, because you could get into the innards really easily to replace memory, drives, etc. But the keyboards on the unibody are soooo much better.

The Tibook was an inflection point where the machines started lasting me more than a couple of years. Some of that was probably usage patterns (having a desktop for the heavy lifting), and some was build quality (and possibly, some was buying a top of the line machine for the first time). But even then, the Tibook has wear that the newer machines just don't show -- the paint on the frame rubbed/chipped off at the wrist rests. The body over the dvd would flex and rub on the spinning disk. The 2012 Air was basically the platonic ideal of a laptop at the time, and it worked in its form for 5+ years, only really being put out to pasture when Xcode demanded too much from it.

The unibody MBP was probably the closest to what you'd expect from a modular MBP these days, but it took a lot more futzing because of it. The SATA drive cable rubs on the frame due to flex, giving it a lifespan of a few years, even for pampered machines.
Only to try to understand, do you mean that 98% of people access your site and play with the logo generation and never look at pricing or do you mean that 98% of people pay you 29, 59 or 99 dollars without first checking how much they will pay?
I made some toy projects and a mid sized one in Clojure, so I'm far from an expert, but tried Clojure seriously.

What you point out is exactly what I think is the main drawback as Clojure (any dynamic language, really). It gets very tedious to waste so much time refactoring code and in the increased number of unit tests you need to write in order to avoid this from happening.

Personally, I think the lack of types in Clojure (and other dynamic languages) has another major drawback in that it doesn't allow you to easily express (and take advantage of) useful abstractions. In typed languages I got used to first write a "skeleton" of the application / library / module as a set of interfaces (traits, protocols, whatever expresses contracts in your language) and then develop and tests the implementations mainly independently. I find this extremely productive, in actual terms of amount of functionality per unit of time.

In Clojure I find myself doing diagrams or writing down data structures, etc. because there is no practical way of doing that in the language itself. Yes, I know protocols, types, spec, malli, etc. but they are not nearly as clean and useful (IDE help, etc) as let's say Typescript types.

I find this lack of expressiveness very frustrating, because I love Clojure otherwise. Persistent data structures are a game changer and the power you can get from a very small, generic API is mind blowing. And the data oriented paradigm, where everything tends to be expressed as data structures which are trivial to operate on, is simple conceptually and very powerful. I even got to like the syntax a lot. Once you get used to it, it's extremely clean, elegant and even clear (!).

Being as it is, though, I'm not sure that I would chose Clojure for a large project, even if I was the only one working on it. My brain needs typed languages as soon as I have more than 200 likes of code, it seems.
Largely agree with you here but I think there were two other factors in RISC's early success:

1. As microprocessors became dominant freezing complex microcode - with possible bugs - on an IC was a really bad idea. Better to run with simpler instructions and less microcode.

Look at the debugging issues that National Semiconductor had with the NS32016 - which I think really hindered its adoption.

2. You needed a much smaller team to design a RISC CPU - low double figures for IBM 801, Berkeley RISC, MIPS and Arm. This opened the door to lots of experiments and business models that would not have been possible with CISC.
There's the "walking simulator" genre for that. I didn't care for the story, but I recently played Dear Esther, it's absolutely stunning on a 4K screen.
I have general comment on what is discussed in several individual threads here:

Such "simulations" should be seen as a tool for thought, not as truly accurate scenario of a most probable future. It is rather like assigning some numbers to a qualitative argument in a debate. To keep the complexity in check, you leave out everything that you think is not relevant to the overall outcome of the simulation. To challenge such a simulation, a critic must present his or her own simulation showing that the omitted factor may well be relevant instead.

In the Princton simulation the participants use only a bit more than 10 percent of their arsenal. Assuming that most warheads get through, simulating an intercept rate would be redundant if one also assumes that the margin of error on how many of their arsenals participants would use is much larger.

Likewise, focusing on Russia and the USA already covers almost 90 percent of all nuclear warheads. Simulating the other nuclear powers would probably not change much in the overall picture.

However, in view of the complexity of the influencing factors and the multitude of possible scenarios, the fundamental question arises as to whether such simulations can at all provide deeper general insights into the topic than what we already vaguely suspect.
Yes, specially when apps like Todoist use dark patterns to auto renew. Fuck Todoist.

"Brand new AAA game looks incrediby realistic" has been a very banal observation for the last 20 years.

If this were a link to a discussion of some special technique that the creators of the last CoD used maybe that would be interesting. But this is lacking in any kind of substance.
What are you talking about?

Honestly, on my late meeting days, I just work about 3 hours and attend the meetings late at night, because that's what's expected of me and that's enough. The meetings can be intense so I just save myself for them and generally enjoy my day.

My company respects me a lot, but it also respects the fact that it's not all "one timezone is important and others suck" We have to meet with people all over the world and sometimes, it's my time to compromise and meet / work late?
Did you ever have a bad manager or a hierarchy of bad managers before where the most inept kept getting promoted, utilizing bad metrics and estimates? What makes you think the same situation can't happen at the highest command?
Yes, look up the Bhima Koregaon case in India. Indian police used Israeli spyware to hack the phones of lawyers, human rights activists and critics of Modi. They also used phishing and other malware to plant terrorist material and then imprisoned them.

> In Wilson’s case, a piece of malware known as NetWire had added 32 files to a folder of the computer’s hard drive, including a letter in which Wilson appeared to be conspiring with a banned Maoist group to assassinate Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.

Not really. You can't edit.

I don't write on paper because, as someone who's been reading and writing for half a century now, I learned to write for a living on devices where I could edit the text as I go.

And it's so much better than pen and paper, where every mistake is permanent.

I don't want to hand write on my computer. Draw, yes, but not scribble. I want a keyboard and editing: cursor keys, delete in 2 directions, copy and paste.

Freewrite does not do that. It's a typewriter, but digital.
> But isn’t this only true if you want to profit from the property?

You have implicit profit living in your property through imputed rent.
The courts will decide how the damages for the toxic waste dumping should be assessed. The government regulates the use of public and common goods, and it can also file lawsuits.

When you said:

> The state works because they have a monopoly on violence and imprisonment. As long as they operate for general good and operate via a strict system of laws which prevents abuses and maintains rights, then that is a good thing.

did you think that most libertarians would disagree? The status quo is that the state has a role in protecting human and property rights, and in regulating public and common goods. No pragmatic libertarian would suggest removing the state from these roles without finding a suitable replacement.
"NATO & USA in particular already said they will respond conventionally in the event of Russian nuclear first strike."

As a contractor WSL2 is a boon if you have to use a firm supplied laptop - just install WSL2 and windows terminal, both of which are from Microsoft so its all kosher from a security theatre point of view.

You then have a standard terminal and Ubuntu environment wherever you go, and have some niceties like being able to call windows apps from Linux, and be able to run windows junk like netsh from bash and process its output.
It's not really practical or sensible to task your developers with making sure that Spiderman can start digging a hole if he wants to. In the long run probably frameworks will start to handle these things - soil mechanics, building infrastructure, metal deformation, and so on, and then all games will start to include them by default by gradual degrees. But hoping the game developers themselves make working hedge trimmers instead of focusing on actual gameplay is silly.
It would be great if you could actually set some default connections right in there.

A family member went on a diet that helped out considerably. It is grain free, lectin free, and nightshade free. It's a hard diet to follow, but the results have been tremendous.

This family member knows almost immediately if they have accidentally consumed one of these.

Do your research, and if you decide to try this diet, set yourself up mentally for following it very strictly for one month to see what the results might be. You will need to stay away from restaurant and pre-prepared foods
Well, this is Call of Duty, the Micheal Bay of video games.
>Keep in mind similar simulations underestimated climate change. They underestimated Covid. It would be naive to have faith in the 20 million estimate.

I think it would be safe to assume that all those estimates were politically motivated, rather than based in fact.
You can think of "fused multiply-add" as an instruction that does two things at once, but I think of FMA more as a single operation these days. There's a critical difference in floating-point, where the result of FMA can be rounded, so you're not actually getting the same result as separate multiply + add.
