> SquareSpace would be trading way higher than they are now, Twitter wouldn't exist, and Facebook would look a lot like MySpace.

What is remarkable is that despite trying to wall the garden, the personal website is still a thing.

> Many people don't care about web culture; they only care about consuming.

Maybe the era of shifting print, TV and radio to the internet is reaching saturation. You can view the internet as a content distribution system, but that ignores the key difference between internet and broadcast media: it is a two-way communication media.

> My take: people created websites back then because there was no other choice.

There were plenty of choices. The big innovation was the social network that allowed people to connect with friends, family, and people with common interests. Now you could write something, take a picture, make a video, whatever, and share it with people who would start communicating with you and form communities around those interests.

> Most people have non-computery interests, and that's fine.

Most people now communicate via the internet about those non-computer-y interests.
Does not crash for me. (US, using “old “.) Safari suggestions on. IOS 15.7 (19H12).

Installing 15.7.1 now to check that version (and because I might as well install it anyway...) Edit: doesn’t crash on 15.7.1 either (though my first test on 15.7.1 was at 17:28 UTC.)

Good to see a well researched accurate article on this compared to some of the hit pieces floating around from other "journalists".
I can imagine lots of apps, and I also think lots of currently centralised apps would be replicated in crypto VMs, when they become fast enough.

But even talking about Uber on chain or Airbnb on chain is silly right now, since the whole space is yet again on “collapse” days.

I wouldn’t judge crypto for 10-20-30 years. I think we’re on the ARPANET days, and even suggesting Amazon would get you laughed out of the room.
Me too. A few days after the latest booster I had some really weird heart palpitations while resting, and I was feeling dizzy with chest/shoulder pain after some moderate exercise. I've stopped exercising which sucks, but will ease back into it. But there's a history of arrhythmia in my family (heart issue killed my dad at a young age), so that's probably a big risk factor, and I'm in the "young male" risk group.

I don't know if I should keep getting boosters or risk a potentially worse outcome from covid, which I haven't had yet, though I've been very exposed to.

You can have a fake ID.
I would calculate that "payment verified" is way cheaper than full identity verification. But it's easier to create several iClouds with the same cc, so you still need to check IDs, but you can compare newly created accounts (or ones that changed their name) with existing accounts and check for similarities and flag those accounts. The thing is that you can automate that and you need to do that only for a small percent of subscribed users.
Instead of fully checking everyone's identity you check only flagged accounts.
When it comes to trading, emotions can be a powerful force. So the solution here is not to tell traders to control their emotions - that is like asking them to swim against the water current. But changing the context around them.
This is not the typical trading psychology post but gives a very different perspective - a real one! Relevant in the current environment of the US Stock Market and the Crypto Market.

"Wonderful Life" by Stephen Jay Gould.

It might have only been a few paragraphs, but he explained that "Survival of the fittest" is not really quite how evolution works.

"Survival of the fittest" implies that species that are stronger or "better" in some way are the ones to survive and reproduce and thus "succeed" in evolutionary terms.

Stephen Jay Gould suggested that a better way of thinking about it is "Survival of the survivors", which is to say that in many cases its simply chance that allows once species to survive and thrive and breed successive generations.
I would agree ethically, but unfortunately this would open a hornets nest of small fraud and abuse. On a way smaller scale, here in Brazil, every single rule that was made to protect "too much" the employee is largely exploited and breaks the system.

Don't get me wrong. The case of working only 2 days after the move is an absolute nightmare. But it is the exception that needs to be dealt with, not the reason for a rule that is hard to enforce and easy to fraud.
>Is the fake accounts thing overblown?

From the article:

>By Friday morning, Lilly stock had dropped by more than 5% from the day before. The Twitter stunt pulled down the stock price of other diabetes drugmakers, including Novo Nordisk and Sanofi. Lilly’s stock has yet to recover and, on Monday morning, remained down more than 4% over the past five days.

I'm not normally one to defend drug makers, but when you're talking about the loss of ~$15 billion in market cap[1], and then you factor in the fact that the company themselves was so frustrated by this that they walked away from their ad deal with Twitter, it all makes it hard for me to see how this is "overblown".

DAOs are fantastically interesting and if you look into the ones that work, Vitalik’s ideas for Quadratic Voting, there’s a lot toucan imagine could happen there.

DAOs and NFTs are already incredible in my view, they are just in pre-alpha stage and everything is kind of a mess. But people see the pre-alpha and goes “this will never work”. I really disagree. I see for instance how DAOs and blockchain could help developers receive compensation for commits to open source software, creating a possibility for the commercialisation of open source that competes with even large companies. I know people who looked into this. And I hope it happens.

It would dramatically change the incentives if you could get as much or even more money from open source software as a developer, and even more so if you could colect royalties for your work wherever it’s used. The entire digital economy would change if you could have open source software that’s fully open, permission less and paid for.

The issue with caches is they are easy to apply. You can easily drop a cache in any place you load a resource without significant code changes.

I tend to think they are ok weapons of sometimes first resort (rarely changing resource with heavy system impact). But you'll definitely get better results simply by rethinking and rearchitecting stuff. (Did you really need to load the database just to lookup a single value?)

When cell phones were in their infancy, I remember reading an article, some kind of op-ed, about how they were ruining society.

His primary example, his primary complaint, was a situation where he was at dinner with his wife and his own cell phone rang. A friend was calling him! On his phone, at dinner!

How incredibly, unimaginably rude could someone be? To call someone while he was in a public restaurant, at dinner with his wife! Can you imagine the audacity?

I remember thinking what a complete asshole this man must be. A friend called him while he was at a restaurant, the ringer went, it embarrassed him at this nice restaurant, and he went on a tear blaming everyone but himself.

Meanwhile, we now have people who get on the bus blaring music from their cell phones or hanging a portable bluetooth speaker from their backpacks while walking down the street, and people miss the idea that hey, the problem isn't the technology, it's that the technology enables inconsiderate, rude people to be inconsiderate and rude in new and exciting ways, as though boom boxes didn't exist before bluetooth speakers.
Seemed like a weird product to d2c, but on second thought it’s not too different from mattresses, or glasses which also seemed unlikely. The rate at which rugs get changed is probably even lower than mattresses so I imagine most rug stores have to live with enormous markups. They’d likely have to price like a popup rug shop.

I enrolled in Statistics during undergrad several times, dropping out each time when I got frustrated and bored with the endless memorization of distributions and equations. The stats class was a requirement to graduate, so eventually I was forced to take it over summer.

My summer class was taught by the late professor Wojbor Woyczyński at CWRU and it completely changed my understanding of statistics. Instead of rote memorization, we built the foundations of statistics from the ground up in Mathematica. The subject felt so alive and it clicked in the six short weeks of the summer session.

I suspect the first-principles approach would resonate with the HN crowd. It certainly did for me. Should you be interested, check out the book he co-wrote and used to teach the class: Introductory Statistics and Random Phenomenon. https://catalog.case.edu/record=b2504793

Seems weird then.

Nov 2020, when Paypal launched the ability to buy and hold crypto, I bought $100 of btc and $100 of eth as an experiment to see what happens over time with a buy and hold approach. I haven't touched either of them since.

While the btc hasn't done well (currently $103), the eth is worth $270. Total % gain is 86.80%. At the peak over the summer, my $200 had turned into like $1400.

Maybe index funds have done better than that? I don't know... what confuses me is with ROI... crypto by itself doesn't offer ROI other than buy/hold, where index funds often have dividends.

From the headline alone, I guessed this was to do with pointers/references to values vs values themselves.

Yep, with values that take a lot of memory, it's faster to pass pointers/references around than it is to pass the values around, because it is less bytes to copy.

Of course there is more to such a decision than just performance, because if the code makes changes to the value which are not meant to be persisted, then one wants to be working with a copy of the value, not a pointer to the value. So one should take care if simply switching some code from values to pointers-to-values.

All of these things are things that coders with more experience of languages that use such semantics kinda know already, almost as second nature, since the first day they got caught out by them. But everyone is learning, to various degrees, and we all have to start somewhere (i.e. knowing little to nothing).

I wish I could find it, but google is insistent on working against me here, but I remember reading from one of Pfizer's data dumps that children in the vaccinated group of their studies were at an increased risk of other respiratory infections compared to the control group.

Anecdotally, some, not all, but some of my triple vaccinated friends are getting sick constantly and they've said that every time they catch covid, it gets worse. This is just a few people out of several that I know, so it doesn't mean much if anything.

An example sentence:

"a pox on both their houses"
It’s not that it doesn’t click - it’s just another stupid thing like Myers-Briggs personality types - and it’s just a shit analogy. Go ahead and categorize businesses by vitamins, pain killers and candy if it’s makes you happy. I believe reading anything into these distinctions is open to the free interpretation and is just astrology for the tech bro crowd. And no one actually agrees on the categorizations for anything less trivial than Candy Crush - as evidenced down thread. The software businesses that are cleanly categorized by this are the exception not the rule.

Once you start having a meta discussion about the analogy itself, perhaps that should be a sign.

The correct interpretation is somewhere between "sarcastic" and "too ambiguous to tell" without digging into comment history.

> Implicit allocation isn't really a problem because a runtime that optimizes the allocations magically for you is a lot easier to build

As far as I know, Java's (default) runtime gives cheap allocations at the cost of long GC pause times.

> than a runtime that optimizes whether you really need to be copying objects as much as you do

It's not "copying", it's "allocating", and avoiding allocations isn't that much work (and frankly I'm surprised it's such a minor problem that no one has bothered to build an IDE plugin that highlights these allocation points automatically--or at least I haven't heard of such a thing). Anyway, "a runtime that minimizes allocations" is just an escape analyzer and Java has one of these too, and IIRC it's a lot more sophisticated than Go's (but it's also a lot harder to reason about as a consequence).
Ask HN: What are the odds the FTX hack was not an inside job?
> long term testing data is actually in before injecting something into their bodies.

You don't get a choice about COVID getting into your body, and that is far worse than whatever possible long term effects of the vaccine might be.

There may be concerning long term effects, but keep persepcive, the worst possible case is still better than the known case of COVID. And of course long term studies on COVID are also still in progress with all signs pointing to even more bad effects of COVID coming out in the coming years.

Try double or triple that at minimum.

$60/hr as a contractor is the equivalent of $30/hr or less salaried. At $60/hr, it's probably even less than $30/hr because you are not eligible for ACA tax breaks and must pay full price for health insurance. The health insurance plans available on the individual market have large premiums and deductibles compared to plans that employers subsidize. You also have a larger tax burden, including the need to file quarterly.

The rule of thumb for contracting is to take your salaried rate and double it at minimum.
This happens in life, too. When your counterparts lose continuity with your work, they turn to other work and the context-switch to return to working with you becomes increasingly hard.
