A lot of the same things that these failing CEXes are doing. Custody of coins, trading, exchanging tokens, long and short positions, borrowing and lending. Most people on FTX are day traders or hodlers.
Elites: I think you're overestimating how much of a contribution "elites" add to co2 consumption. They might emit disproportionately higher co2 than the median citizen, but that's canceled out by the fact that they're so few of them.

Companies: Works great in theory[1], not so well in practice[2]. Turns out most people only pay lip service to climate change/environment, and scatter at the prospect of paying out of pocket for it.

I love that proving that a bunch of frauds who were promoting a drug that didn't work at all shows a "political slant". Funding studies to show which drugs treat (and don't treat) covid is unambiguously good and it's insane that it's considered political.

Edit: Great timing - DailyBeast literally just published a story exposing how the leader of one of those idiotic COVID misinformation groups spent her millions in ill-gotten gains: https://www.thedailybeast.com/covid-misinformation-group-ame...
Yes but people usually follow the path of least resistance. If modules are on NPM they'll stay on NPM if there's little incentive to rewrite as ESM isomorphic modules and publish for Deno.
All Fake ones I saw have the same „jpeg“ like artifacts in the face, and the hair always looks strange.
One of the big problems here is that there's no agreed upon mental model for how people think about the pieces fitting together (and I don't think that we could come up with one that would work for everyone).

Even if people do have the same model then the terms are often different, depending on how you learned to do things. (Example: What is the "correct" number of levels of tasks -> subtasks and what should each layer be called, i.e "Epics -> Stories -> Tasks")

We've been building out Shortcut (https://shortcut.com/) for several years now it's not uncommon for new leadership (new VP of Eng or VP of Product) to show up in a large organization (100+ people in eng and product) and decide that whatever problems the org is having can be solved by moving to Jira and forcing everyone into a new mental model around how they're building things.

(Side note: We're tracking the rate of success of people who make this decision and how long they last in the org, and it's [perhaps unsurprisingly] not great.)

Can you say more about the level of diligence you think journalists should generally be doing when they receive funds from an organization? I think you're proposing a much deeper level than anyone currently does and which would be maybe hundreds of hours of research, but I'm not sure?

Discovering a fraud when most people at the organization don't know about it and the people who do would like to your face is not a light task!
You aren't wrong, maybe it's my wishful thinking. What do you think the solution is here? Do you think the house of cards stayed propped up because a lot of people were in on the fraud? Were the auditors just incompetent or were they in on it? Auditors are reasonably well known firms.

If thinking about free will causes you suffering. I implore you to not read further. I do not intent to cause any suffering.

>The way we experience our lives indicates that we make choices and they have consequences

Even if we don't "make" our choices, why would that not matter? Experience matter (it's the only thing that matter). It still matters that some unconscious rock fell over your head. It matters that you "decides" to be better because that means that you will experience better life.

I am sorry to hear that you struggled with addiction and I can understand that some knowledge is poison. We do not drill the concept of suffering to our young children every waking minute of their life. That does not mean that any of those things are untrue. If your doctor consistently denies that death is a concept you would rightly be asking for a different one. Truth matters.

I have some addiction problems myself and I think free will is one of the most poisonous concept. It says that the lotus of blame is solely on me. _I_ have to decide to change and actually perform it. But we know better than that, we know that _I_ can be influenced. Therefore we know to avoid things that feeds into our addiction. I can't just "not do it".

>I have in fact done so on many occasions. At that point I didn't choose, RNG did.

You did not choose to follow this through. You could have easily said, "I am going to do the opposite of this to assert my free will! Take that!" and you didn't choose to do this either.

New investors are definitely not major investors and even those investors simply want to find an even greater fool.

Two weeks ago I overheard a bartender in a dive bar where beer and a shot goes for $6 telling the regular drunk about all the mad money he is making at FTX. Here's a thing: there's not a single non-scam that would allow a bartender in a dive bar that sells $6 beer and a shot to make gobs of money "investing" or "trading"
Has to depend on how you allocate.

If you allocate them to the country of origin of the donations, then probably not.

> How can a team be invincible to "assholes" if a team is the sum of the result of the people who compose it, "asshole" included?

I can think of lots of ways.

You can connect two pieces of wood together with a chain: If any one link in the chain fails, the connection fails. Or you can connect them together by banging lots of nails into them: If any one nail fails, the connection still holds.

The same is true for organizations: You can have organizations where one asshole can ruin it for everyone else, and you can have organizations where the result of one person being an asshole is simply that everyone else ends up avoiding and ignoring that person and business happily goes on without that individual.

For example: Imagine a flat law firm where each partner is highly autonomous, and one partner just happens to be an asshole. His clients will ask the firm for another partner to handle their account. His support staff will try to get reassigned to work with another partner. In the end you'll just have an asshole sitting in an office, not interacting with anyone.

Other example: Imagine you're in a strict military-style chain of command and the soldier next to you just happens to be an asshole. ...well, as long as it's not your commanding officer who is the asshole, you can basically just ignore that guy.

Now a counterexample: Imagine a matrixy, committee-cratic "cloud management" sort of tech company with maybe some 360-degree peer review systems thrown in just for fun: Well it's going to be very political, and any one politicking asshole will be able to ruin it for any given other person, so no one will ever be able to afford ignoring someone else, even if they're assholes.
Precisely, that worship for those types of characters shows how pathetic our society is today, those people are the result of our collective aspirations, we are all guilty..

The branded lenses are often expensive and therefore high margin, so most opticians will have them available, but few people order them so they are unlikely to mention their existence. As to which are best, you are best finding an independent local optician who seems to have an interest in the subject and asking for a recommendation. If you read the Optiboard forums you can get an idea of the passion some opticians have, although it's not useful for specifics.
Honest question: What is the alternative?

We could apply a really high tax rate to billionaires, but that has its own set of problems and doesn't guarantee anything will change for the warehouse workers. Governments are much less efficient than private companies at spending; a lot of the taxes will go towards 'defense'; which government should tax global companies like Amazon?

Personal websites still do live. Here on HN too I have seen blog posts from independent websites/blogs run by individuals. What has changed though is the rapid rise of content platforms like Twitter, Medium, Substack and the likes where the sheer number of posts overwhelm the number of posts individual website owners can produce.

But still the independent websites continue to run and stay alive. Some of them have quality content too and appear on HN many times.

Is there a community/forum/channel of these independent website owners somewhere? Would love to hang out there.

So I am not the only one who thinks their deluge of models was ridiculous. To be fair, most of them - for better or for worse - had the same guts (they only used a handful of bseband chips most probably from TI internally named UPP8M, UPPWD2, UPP2M); from service manuals you can tell the most often varied thing was the RF section. But still, NRE, tooling and certification would cost millions per model. Injection molds would cost serveral hundred grand alone.

This is always going to be the case. Corporations produce more to meet demands of consumers. If there was no demand, there would be no production and hence no subsequent pollution (if that consumption results in pollution).

Why do your power plants need to generate more power? Because we need more power now since more of us have more gadgets and bullshit to power.

Why does your local bottling company use so much plastic bottles? Because we think it's a genius idea to drink so much water out of single use plastic bottles.

I could think of hundreds of examples, but yes, we drive so much more than we think. Everything is connected in a web of relationships. We blame the big corporations so much, but at the end of the day the [overwhelming majority of ] corporations are there because there are individuals giving them dollars.

The problem, however, is this is effectively a truism, and doesn't really help to solve much in the immediate term. It takes generations to shape consumer habits.

You can literally say this about "regular" currency. Just don't put your money in banks! But people do, why? Once you answer that, you'll realize why people do it for crypto too. You can't complain that it's "against fundamental crypto values" when it doesn't have any mechanism for preventing it. It's convenient, it has benefits, therefore people do it.

The original sidekick is the earliest pivot phone I can think of. The Samsung Juke came out several years later but I don't think it sold that well because of how tiny it was. I don't expect any pivot phones to sell that well. For that LG phone, what are you supposed to do with the bottom screen? It's wasted on media controls, how often do you need a fully unobstructed view of a video while you are pausing or fast forwarding? Games make sense, the DS took advantage of a second screen but this requires games to develop just for this second screen. Video editing makes the most sense as long as there's a video editor out there that can take advantage of the second screen but also document editing too (but who really wants to do this on a phone?).

I am by no means a JavaScript person; I use it when it’s the right tool for job (rare). However, projects like Deno and Bun make me hopeful for the future of the JS ecosystem.

And while the ‘1.3M modules’ headline is more scary than exciting (for me), I’m glad they locked it behind a special “npm:” classifier and have their own way of dealing with node_modules so things stay explicit, while allowing people to swap over somewhat seamlessly.

I wonder what impact this will have on Deno and NPM long term.
TSG and the other two books (The Extended Phenotype & The Blind Watchmaker) in the series are the most influential books I've yet read on evolution.
Satoshi was advocating for "digital cash", i.e. something you could do mundane transactions with, yet it's utterly unfit for that puropose. It's 2022, nobody gives a damn about what Satoshi was advocating for and especially not people believing in Bitcoin.
Meh, I feel like this is somewhat inevitable. People love talking about clean breaks and how NPM is evil and left-pad, but nobody wants to write their own packages. It's probably the biggest blocker for adoption for any language or tool. If there's no mature libraries for authentication on Deno, am I going to roll up my sleeves and reimplement JWTs, or am I going to sigh and switch to Node? For a lot of tools they're stuck with people who will do the former, and then finally, after enough libraries are built, they start getting the people who do the latter.

Because as much as there are loud voices on the internet decrying packages, most people are not so ideologically focused. They just want to get their code written. Packages help and so they use packages. Plus most of the loud voices neglect to offer any solution other than "packages are bad!!!"
As always, less complexity and less expressive power at a given level go hand in hand: Deno as it exists right now can’t work even with a relatively tame nonstandard approach to JSX such as that in Solid.js[1] (without essentially running a build step at startup), let alone a full language extension like Svelte[2] (there is a thing for that now[3], but it seems to be squeezing in a build system through a localhost server IIUC?).
