Cash is not digital

> Only relevant for crime

Absolute nonsense. There are people who prefer paying with cash for the same privacy advantages.

> Also possible with many banks, VISA, Western Union. The fact that you're using an intermediary is irrelevant

Sending crypto is way easier, faster, and cheaper than sending an international wire transfer or Western Union transfer. With crypto, it is peer to peer and no one can censor you. In the traditional finance world, anyone can have their bank account, payment provider, or transactions blocked by their bank, payment provider, government, or any of the other countless middlemen who need to approve of your transactions.

> In practice, it's far more centralized

Peer to peer money and self-custody is more decentralized than holding money in any centralized institution.

> Doesn't really mean anything

You clearly don't understand the concept, so please educate yourself before you comment. The composability of smart contracts is what enables defi.
There's often a confusion between privacy and anonymity. Everyone should be entitled to financial privacy. Per the laws of the land (at least most developed countries), you are not entitled to financial anonymity.
Not everyone pays that close of attention. There was a lot of confusion about Musk's doge tweets which Shiba used as marketing. Shiba also boosted their market cap by minting all their tokens at once and giving half to Buterin's cold wallet, this making it jump on the leader board with a smaller amount of initial investment. Then they claim deflationary status by having community burns in the millions (which is extremely low volume relative to the volume in existence). Plus being a eth l2, defi works out of the box so people looking to do something with their compatible existing tokens/wEth we're able to 'diversify' into it.
That's not correct. We have had models showing global warming caused by fossil fuels since the late 18th Century at the very least.

A few papers in the 1980s were predicting global cooling, but those have been shown to be erroneous – sometimes even by the very same authors.

Positive feedback feels nice, but negative is way more useful to making a great product.

It was trump's vaccine. Some notable democrats fliped on the issue as soon as power was transfered.
Given that the float is so small, I think the asking price for rent is getting increasingly out of touch with what people are really paying, especially with rent control.

To make it less volatile they might as well just pick a number every year, the annual tax for a median house, then scale it in a relative sense based on relative house prices between taxpayers. They would more or less do that in a roundabout way anyway by tweaking the percentages every year.
How could I forgot about that part! Yeah, super useful for that platform. I had so much trouble finding the GitHub repo for it to check their methodology earlier I forgot about that lol
That is mostly true, but I've run into issues where you have to actually compile on a mac to build mac-compatible binaries in certain circumstances.

Our brains are incredibly good at sensing CO2, because it’s what drives respiration.

The “my lungs are burning and I must breath” signal is actually caused by high co2. We can’t perceive blood oxygen levels at all.

This is actually something hospitals have to be aware of. A tiny sliver of the population (1-10000, maybe) have greatly reduced sensation of co2, so can literally stop breathing (while awake!) if placed on high flow 100% oxygen.
It leaked
Well, you should consider what exactly would be hacked. Banks don't really hold huge amounts of gold or physical cash anymore, most of what they have is 'credit' and debt.

Cryptographic currencies are not credit, they are the gold. They are what gold would be if it were easily divisible and could be transferred anywhere, instantly, for only several cents worth of transaction fees.

Despite how quickly you can transfer cryptocurrencies, you could secure it as well as you physically secure gold if you really wanted to. The problem is that there are a bunch of businesses who are holding peoples' gold for them in such a way that bidirectional channels exist between front-end machines and back-end machines that have the private keys on them, and there is no regulation instructing these wannabe banks to perform cryptographic signatures on airgapped machines. It is as if Fort Knox were just leaving all of its entrances open.

You can make fuel with yeast today and power your car with it. Go to the grocery store, buy a packet of bakers yeast and some granulated sugar, and distill your sugar wine into liquor. In fact you can probably use any locally available plant material; people make hooch from grass even. The issue is just that gallon for gallon, subsidies make things like corn based ethanol or natural gasoline cheaper. Subsidies can change however, and incentives will shift and behavior will change accordingly.

Entity as a type is an generational ID. We only support up to 2^32 entities in a World, which makes up the bottom 32 bits. The top 32 bits is the generation. Once we destroy an entity, it's ID is reused, but the generation is increased.

It was stated as a causal relationship and reported in the news since the 19th Century. It was still denied by some, and ignored by most.

At some point we should probably start doing something – and enough – about it to maybe avoid the worst consequences?
I think that after a certain age what will happen in the next 5-10 years is vastly more inportant than what will happen in 50-100 years for obvious reasons.
Daily Mail is not a US newspaper (it is from the UK) and I'm not from the US. And yes, I "know" the sort of people who frequent HN and I can only assume most others here do so as well given that this is one of the places where we discuss our ideas. Also, HN is a US site and tends to have a fairly strong US bias given that it is - or at least was - targeted at the Silly Valley startup crowd.
Have you fixed the problem where opening any moderately large document in chrome on android would just lock up chrome entirely? :)

The editor was clearly trying to load the whole thing!
Update : I've talked to a few of my friends and one point they made was that winters arr not equal everywhere in the colloquial daily sense. It's quite normal and meaningful and easily interpreted to say that "winters are longer in Canada than in North Carolina". Or that Nova Scotia has longer autumn than Ontario. In other words there are places that may have a short winter (I.e. Short period of extreme cold and snow, with very dark nights etc) and places that have long winter. Not astronomically correct but semantically and practically useful.
I agree with you, but the social contract argument fails here even if you imagine a fantasy world where it would exist. I try to meet people where they are. Leftists arguments against leftists. Right-wing arguments against the right wing. And social contract arguments against social contractors.
I imagine you could make it more controlled/targetted using a canister, a mask (like CPAP machines), and a nozzle of specific radius too. Don't have to adjust for the whole room and don't have to bottle/release as much CO2

You haven't given a single source, just lots of anecdata, for two intersections, over a tiny slice of time, in a country (Canada) that I don't live in and isn't related to the topic of discussion (which is the US).
Injuries are not normal or expected regardless of when you start. The important point is to use good technique and progress slowly. Hire a qualified personal trainer or coach to show you how to do it right. And don't try to do too much too fast. Your muscles will get stronger faster than your tendons and bones, so just because you can lift a heavier weight or run at a faster pace doesn't mean you should. Take a few months at your current level before trying to move up.

The "problem" with kids is not so much childbirth as the following 20-odd years. Childcare is hugely expensive in terms of money and opportunity cost, and we can't just outsource it to grandparents or set the tykes to work hoeing potatoes at eight any more.
Dude loves his wikipedia.
Who isn't aware of it?

The question is are you willing to short it? I've been expecting Tether to collapse for 3-4 years now. Had I shorted it back then (it costs about 12% to borrow last I checked), I'd be out a lot of money.
I'm not the audience for this but it seems like good advice. Another thing, I learned from the dotcom bubble not to assume a drastic downturn or "macro" (as the article uses) is a temporary thing. They can go on for years and recover slowly.
Most of the benefit can be achieved in one step by putting an 'eco mode' button on home chargers that makes it dispense power if and only if there is curtailment (which can be looked up over network) or the car battery is critically low. Make this an overridable default with some messaging about owners doing their part for a greener future to make it palateable and you don't need the battery to feed back out for the EV to be acting as storage.

This benefits the grid operator because they get to massively overcharge for curtailed energy. It benefits the EV manufacturer because they get to greenwash. And the consumer doesn't get a say because they don't actually own their DRM'd remote controlled car and charger.
Might help to have it on a schedule, like a thermostat has, or maybe more advanced like Nest does. Then it kind of tapers you into a sleep schedule.

Wouldn't work if coming back from a late night out though
> People "resist climate change" because most climate change rhetoric is transparently trying to get them to vote a different way or buy some different thing. If it was stated just in terms of a causal relationship, like rising CO2 raises global temperature, fewer people would object.

"resist climate change" could mean different things. It's true that something like "rising CO2 raises global temperature" is uncontroversial, but agreeing to that doesn't get you anywhere close to implementing climate policy, or to even acknowledge that humans are the leading cause. For instance, you can agree that "rising CO2 raises global temperature", but still think that the warming is totally natural (ie. not primarily caused by humans) and/or that it's impossible for humans to stop. Polling suggests a good chunk of republicans believe in the former[1]. I suspect that most people would characterize those people as "resisting climate change" even if they believe that co2 leads to atmospheric warming.

> Him being the second largest donor to the Democratic Party will really test the rule of law. Does it apply to the powerful? We’ll see.

Bernie Madoff was a large donor to the Democrats and it didn't help him one bit. I see no reason to believe that the situation will be any different regarding SBF, if he is indeed culpable.
Tailwind takes a radical approach to the cascade by allowing devs to completely ignore it at the cost of losing the power of using it.

It eliminates the need to name things at the cost of dealing with unreadable and unmaintainable class soup.

It provides a useful set of constants trivial to create in any non-tailwind css codebase.
>I'm not sure why you're talking about fraud in markets, when that's not what happened here. This isn't a case of market participant A ripping market participant B off, it's some insider abusing his trust to enrich himself.

You're describing fraud in a market.

Organizations also consolidates billing, which means you can (potentially) get usage discounts.

There's a lot of reasons to use Organizations, but I really don't want to write an essay. But it allows things such as segregated security accounts, centralized logging, etc. It can help your security posture a bunch.
Indeed. But JPM is at least regulated so it shouldn’t happen (post GFC…).
Great read!

So why are trials getting more expensive? The crux of the article was triald aren't being done because costs have risen, but why have costs risen? Have they risen faster than drug prices?
Not too amazing to me.

Fraud is a crime, defined by a statute, with case law, and police and a prison system to enforce it.

Crypto folks don't really believe in governance, the state, regulation, accountancy, and all that stuff.

For many folks, the whole point of crypto is to opt out of the whole government, state, regulation system, with its strange rules like "fraud" and all the rest.
Maybe you need to put on a suit covered in bells. If you lay still it'll be quiet, but if you wake up the incessant jingling will wake you up. Lol I don't know why but I feel like there has to be some simple but clever way to deal with this. Not a cure, but something that let's you have some control over it.

Maybe if you can't sleep walk all over the place you'll naturally just go back to bed. Like I wonder if you maybe moved a dresser in front of your bedroom door after entering, if then your sleepwalking self would be trapped in your bedroom and get bored. I really have no idea how this works but I'm curious
> ___ is inefficient but that's a good tradeoff

Everyone who knows that a technology where decentralization is one of the requirements will know this, and they will also know that this is a required tradeoff when it comes to decentralization - no free lunch.

A lot of people skewer blockchain-based tech for ineffeciency, but not a lot of those people realize it's supposed to be like that.

I'm glad that people are at least starting to realize that a lot of decentralized tech has the prerequisite of forfeiting efficiency.
I'm guessing the IRS won't buy this logic. Also reminds me of some infamous accounting scandals.
And when certain atmospheric conditions exist.
Very true. I love “negative” feedback. But I don’t know how to not take it personally sometimes. It often feels like a failure. Especially when it’s a “darn I should have caught that!”
I hadn't really thought about "reaching and maintaining a certain level of conditioning" but that's probably true.

I guess I reached that a long time ago. I've been on a 3-mile plateau for decades now with no desire to run any farther. I definitely don't feel like just running is enough, so alternating cardio and strength works better for me. YMMV.

> At least in the USA, neither of the two big political parties are interested in solving the climate issue. It's way to good for getting votes to ever be solved.

The Democratic Party (and its more liberal wing especially) are interested in passing policies to address climate change. Imperfectly, but orders of magnitude more than Republicans.

But the source is easier to read for you (the author), directly in your code editor or even simply edit the file live on the server via FTP or SSH.
While I also caught that wording mistake, the checksum in the next sentence--which includes "either he's a fraud"--indicates sillysaurusx does understand this and simply worded that first sentence awkwardly (so there's no need to get quite so intense).
The remedy wouldn't be to shorten lengthy sentences, but to allow women to have children while in prison. According to a quick google search, some prisons already allow this, possibly in part because of this issue.

It's perfectly cromulent to write software without a build system -- not even Make. Just write a build.sh script that compiles all the source and links it for you.

But the reality is you'll be giving up the features Make or another build system provides -- things like recompiling only the files that need recompiled, or, more fancily, automatic build configuration and dependency discovery.

When you were building on DOS or Windows, your Borland IDE or whatever handled these details for you. In the Unix world, everybody relies on a constellation of small tools to handle different aspects of the build process rather than just entrusting that to their IDEs.

I bet you can get Clion (C, C++) or Lazarus (Pascal) to work the way you remember Turbo Pascal working. But those only work for their respective languages.

If you really want to go whole hog, vendor any dependencies you have. That is, incorporate them into your project and build them all at once. That way you don't have to worry about builds breaking on systems that don't have them.
I think you can say “not your keys…” to people like you and I who understand why. The problem us bulk of retail investors in crypto have no clue and probably couldn’t care less (until they lose their money).
Here’s a scan of the earliest projections I know of (1982), from the American Petroleum Institute:

https://insideclimatenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/AQ-...

They predicted 1C in 2005, and 2.5C in 2038. We are right on schedule.

They also predict global economic growth to halt in 2025 due to climate change impacts.

That’s plausible, given recent years’ industrial and agricultural climate disasters. However, on that metric, we’re probably a bit behind schedule. Five years, maybe?

caniuse says that Firefox supports it but not by default -- it can be enabled via a flag. I guess they don't have confidence yet to turn it on by default.
If you either you don't believe it's serious enough to take drastic action (dispute the phsyics) or you don't think it's worth the inconvenience (selfish) neither of those are defensible political positions.

To be fair, you have to remember as far as cultural changes, trends etc. is concerned the life for the entire period was pretty static by modern standards. The notion of progress, and especially the widespread expectation that things will get better / there will be progress, is at most 200 years old.
>The idea that the army would belong to the people was alien at the time,

It's still alien to me now. We the people don't tell the armies where to go. If a single person can tell the armies where to go, it's not we the people. To even come close to a we the people decision, the orders would have to be from a committee of reps. Good gawd could you imagine the US military being told what to do by the senate or, gasp, the house of reps? If there's a 2/3 majority rule, the military would never do anything.
It wasn’t silt buildup, the local sea level was considerably higher at the time.
A lot of people have mentioned Golang, and that's fair, but this is HN so obviously Lisp can be the only correct solution. Not just kidding either - if you want to get away from build systems entirely, and especially if you're focused on building compiler tooling and the like, consider using Racket. It's kind of like a "DSL for making DSLs" based on Chez Scheme and a small amount of C-code. It provides a ton of tooling for common things you need/want/didn't-know-you-wanted when making programming languages. https://beautifulracket.com/ is a nice introduction to working with languages once you have a handle on the basics.
