Mind sharing some of the lessons that you thought would have been the most valuable to know from the beginning, instead of having to learn the hard way?
> the general public has already been conditioned to accept the idea of "too big to fail".

No, the general public has been made aware that once businesses hit a sufficient level of financial entanglement with people in government, they will not be allowed to fail. The general public was not consulted on this, because it doesn't matter what the general public thinks when something is bipartisan (which is true for all but <10 "wedge" issues.) Handing wealthy people tax money is bipartisan, for example. Handing poor people tax money is a wedge issue.
>A founding tenet of security is that open systems and techniques are the ones that will be most battle tested and therefore resilient.

was it ever proven somehow ? I know that it seems like an axiom here on HN but I doubt anyone did tried to check it.
Most places like restaurants will offer to split tabs for a group already. Further, processors like PayPal have recently included a split payment feature (which is only limited to two sources at the moment). Are there scenarios beyond these where Instatab works better, either recurring or as a one-off?
Iirc the article mentioned that 555 numbers used to be reserved for internal use, so my hypothesis is that implementing external 555 numbers likely required some sort of retrofit.

But I don’t have any domain knowledge here, so this is really just a guess

On Crypto Regulation
Replies Always Welcome
Maybe I don't get it, but why use this over Microsoft Teams with the To-Do app and/or Planner?

Even with a personal Microsof account you can use Onenote, Teams (for chat I would use maybe Discord) and ToDo for lists.

or Google Workspace ofc. Or even Proton.me

But I have been interested in Notion or Wordpress to get my own Wiki going, but this does look good.
> And another big asset is $616 million worth of the MAPS token ($865 million “before last week”). MAPS is the token of Maps.me 2.0, a sort of Serum spinoff that was also launched by FTX;

I remember when maps.me added crypto and many users fled to Organic Maps. I didn't know that FTX was behind it.
> Kinda sorta. Wasn't that back when people assumed cryptocurrency provided the same kind of privacy that cryptography does, which was (in retrospect), pretty dumb?

Well, there are currencies that do provide strong anonymity, so no?

But yeah agreed that cryptocurrency doesn't have that many use cases, just as cash has a declining number of them. I hope someone makes an Amazon-like platform for it.
And the exchange is also clearing transactions instead of a third party clearinghouse which ups the counterparty risk substantially.
There is a joke in physics that the best textbook on any topic is the third one you read.
Memes are where neurotypicals and autists can both pretend that they are communicating when actually they aren't.
Yes. In particular, the contents of the mRNA vaccines are a subset of what a covid infection produces.

The anti-vax stance is similar to the claims that tightly regulated nicotine vapes are worse than high tar cigarettes. (Except that you can just choose to not smoke, of course.)
Why did you ask that as a question if you have the answer right there?
The developer of the vaccine should not sponsor this adverse effects trial.
From your study:

>In 42 842 345 people receiving at least 1 dose of vaccine, 21 242 629 received 3 doses, and 5 934 153 had SARS-CoV-2 infection before or after vaccination. Myocarditis occurred in 2861 (0.007%) people, with 617 events 1 to 28 days after vaccination. Risk of myocarditis was increased in the 1 to 28 days after a first dose of ChAdOx1 (incidence rate ratio, 1.33 [95% CI, 1.09–1.62]) and a first, second, and booster dose of BNT162b2 (1.52 [95% CI, 1.24–1.85]; 1.57 [95% CI, 1.28–1.92], and 1.72 [95% CI, 1.33–2.22], respectively) but was lower than the risks after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test before or after vaccination (11.14 [95% CI, 8.64–14.36] and 5.97 [95% CI, 4.54–7.87], respectively).

BEFORE OR AFTER VACCINATION.

Every single person in that study was vaccinated, some of them caught covid (either before or after being vaccinated), some people did not catch covid at all. The people that were vaccinated and contracted covid fared the worst. There is no un-vaccinated group that caught covid and never took the vaccine at all in this study.
let me square it for you:

Say you received 1,000 when graduating high school. You then got a job making 100/month, signed a lease and moved out of the house. You have expenses of 180/month. How long before you are destitute?
Ruby on Rails course from Pragmatic Studio.

By the time I took that course, I was already reading tutorials, books, practising. But still felt like I was mostly copy/pasting things instead of understanding.

I purchased the course, by far one of my biggest investments, and it finally clicked. And not only Ruby on Rails, but the general structure of web-based applications.

Once I took that course, I quickly spun up dozens of small little apps in the following weeks.

To this day, I wish I would find other courses in other subjects that would be game changers in my understanding as quickly and dramatically as that one was.
I keep my ogg and mp3 on my phone. 45GB and growing. Just plug it into the computer to copy, same for listening on the big boxes.

I still have a phone with a headphone/mic jack 3.5". I have never tried to plug the spdif cable into the phone. Changed to spdif after the copper cable became defective.

Anyhow, plug the phone into the computer's USB and mount it like an external drive. I really try but apart from the music library, it uses 32GB at most, including OS. The photos and videos are on a mini SD card, 128GB in size.

But I'm not sure if Apple lets you export the bought songs as mp3 or other formats do you can share or upload or copy them somewhere. Wasn't that a big issue with iTunes?
Somewhat OT, but I never understood why so many corporations have this hard and fast rule that they have to fire (or give no bonus to) a set percentage every year: "We must fire X% of people."

I have worked at a few firms that have done this, and I have heard from a few people their managers arbitrarily picked them to get knocked into a lower tier.

Conversely, if they hired a big cohort of bozos one year, you know they would never say, "We would like to get rid of 15%, but our plan is only to get rid of 10%." They would have no problem going beyond 10%.

Who or what do you read instead for coverage on the same topics?
you seem to think crypto is going away, but that isn't ever going to happen, the question is will it be completely centralized and made into a distopian nightmare fuel by states and corporations, or can we make good tools for people to resist this path
At least provide some facts to the 2000 people a week claim.
Have you watched the Eric Andre show?

In one episode he gets frustrated with the direction of the show and inserts a betamax tape to play a previous episode, sped-up and overlaid with partial opacity atop the ongoing episode.

In another episode the host and one of the members of NSYNC literally jump out of the way of a motorcycle that runs over the host's desk.
> 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.

I was appropriately reprimanded by dang yesterday for starting a comment with an attack, so I'll slow down and just point out the following:

1. GitHub, for example, already makes it extremely easy to contribute to open source developers. It's called GitHub Sponsors.

2. I have actually donated to a developer that writes a library I love using GitHub Sponsors. It was trivial to do, I just entered my credit card, the money came out on a monthly basis, and I cancelled after a year (I told the dev I'd support them for a year). I'll also note that I don't live in the same country as the developer and the developer's country uses a different currency.

3. The thing that gets me about these kinds of examples proposed by crypto fans is that the mechanics of how to, for example, pay open source devs is zero part of the problem. The problem is that a lot of people are willing to work for free, and software users don't like to pay for stuff that they can get for free.

Again, I see a lot of "hand-wavy utopianism" from crypto enthusiasts, but I see zero examples of (a) why this would be better than GitHub Sponsors, or (b) why do you think GitHub Sponsors hasn't been more successful (hint, it's not that actually making payment with a GH Sponsorship is difficult).
I can understand that. And I appreciate you sharing your opinion and thoughts on it. I'm not familiar with the Illusory truth effect but will get some reading into today (thanks for the link!)

In speaking. I try to approach things as always mutable. If I put a disclaimer in front of everything I state (when I perceive the I talk about to always be some form of a hypothesis based on the data that I currently have), it tends to slow down discourse and get very messy. In my mind, because I've already accepted the potential for bad data-- that's how I approach others works/papers. There are no absolute truths in anyone's words (or very likely period).

I understand your concerns around this (and at least from my current understanding of our social/political issues) and I agree. It is extremely dangerous and detrimental to hold beliefs like that. However, one could argue that a substantial portion of our society already holds those beliefs. They ignore the free will that they have and operate inside of the system that they perceive.

No real arguments/points here. Just chewing on things/"thinking out-loud". I think it's equally important for people to be able to share thoughts in an unformed state (in the right environment).

The parent comment was asking what the difference was, I said the difference was the theft. I guess I was wrong because I looked up the right wind conspiracies and they all seem to care only about the part to play aspects, which is definitely very ironic considering the history of right wing financing.
Was that "empathy equals manufactured crisis cubed"?

Science is hard :p
> Cool, now what's the incidence of Myocarditis and similar after COVID-19 infection?

Which mechanism would cause myocarditis when you get COVID 19?

The 2nd link in nradov's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33599243) states:

> These findings indicate that introducing the mRNA vaccine into the circulatory system can lead to acute cardiac inflammation. The mechanism behind this requires further elucidation. However, it is speculated that this may be due to the pro-inflammatory properties of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used as carriers for mRNA.

The actual COVID-19 infection doesn't have any lipid nanoparticles, does it?

Agree with overall sentiment of your comment though: the overall real-bad symptoms caused by an infection when fully unvaccinated are probably not worth skipping vaccine.

The clinical trials in op's article as well as nradov's comment on "aspiration" to reduce myocarditis risk during vaccination are both important topics to explore.
"Can we just admit this isn't about logic or statistics, and never was? It was always a persuasion game either way."

Kind of? The fact is that we've turned into a society where we can't even be unified in trying to prevent disease. If "the left" is for vaccines, masking, social distancing, etc. then "the right" has to immediately be against it.

I don't recall any of my friends or family needing persuasion at all. They believed in the science and were willing to adapt as we learned new things about COVID (e.g. around masking and social distancing). When vaccines were becoming available I know my circle spent time looking over what information we could find about which ones were better, side effects, etc., but were onboard with vaccine risk being better than COVID.

The FOX crowd, OTOH, went looking to scare people off vaccines and made not masking a point of pride. It was tribalism, pure and simple. If it were a persuasion game you might have seen a lot more diversity in who was for/against the vaccines.

30 years ago if we'd faced COVID (at least in the U.S.) and had the vaccines available, I think we'd have fared far better. People who couldn't agree on much else could've come together in the face of a deadly disease. Persuasion, and logic, are out the window.
My understanding is that India is an "Election Democracy".

Yes, elections happen in India. Some of them are even done in a fair manner.

But outside of elections, first world democracy is non-existent.
Yeah, I'm trying to come up with a scenario in which someone will be harmed by this.

It's not like there's an airport and the sign is pointing to the wrong one. I don't arbitrarily visit airports.

The worst thing I can think of is to tell someone that I'd be landing at the Llandegley airport and that I need a ride. Then they ride out to a field and I'm not there. But that's just plain old lying. I can say I'd be landing at Heathrow and the effect is the same. Even worse because Heathrow is an actual airport and they'd probably spend a bit looking for me. At least with Llandegley, the bit is up as soon as they pull into the field.

“When I told him that this was an email that was no longer available to me, and that it hadn’t been my email of record with GoDaddy for more than 20 years, he said he could change the address, but that would require me to activate two-factor authentication, and that there would then be a 24-hour delay before he could make the required changes.”

Sounds more like a security issue honestly. Not sure you would want them to simply take your new email as trustworthy
You can’t make this stuff up. This would make an amazingly funny movie.
Well, case closed then.
Ummmm. I think for the typical readership of Bloomberg - guys in their 50s looking for cool places to park some extra cash - a five page explainer on how smart contracts work with some editorializing about how they will probably never work as promised is kind of the perfect inoculation against hype.

If people are curious about crypto, and their only sources of information are polemic, that seems much, much worse for everyone.
Remote development maybe. IDE locally, compilation and execution remotely.

Intel pays managers bonuses for hiring people that are "underrepresented minorities".

It's apparently totally legal.
I mean, seriously, who didn't see this coming? Hope and hype aren't the same thing. Can you really expect to trust any entity who you can't sue/call on the phone/read reviews on?
Could you detail SBF's experience that would have opened doors to him at Jane St without nepotism? I ask because I can't find any evidence to show how he was able to get into that position. Thanks for the guidance and I look forward to your reply.
OP here. I'm very pro-diversity but leaving that aside, my experience on the hiring side is that there is a huge pipeline problem of even getting resumes from "diverse" candidates. Any company applying some kind of theoretical "filter" must not be in a rush to hire at all given how relatively rare these candidates are, in which case they wouldn't be likely to hire qualified "non-diverse" candidates without this "filter," either. So it doesn't really matter either way.
Some time after a period of my life where I was routinely traveling to and from Cleveland, I woke up from a nap on a plane to Milwaukee and saw this sign, it really got me:

This has got to be one of the most absurd situations I've ever seen. Absolutely fucking insane that this could have even lasted that long. Every single charitable interpretation of this situation, every single possible way that they could have somehow argued their way out of it being a clear scam, it's all just obviously stealing.

I think it's absolutely absurd that "smart money" was pumped into this to the tune of billions upon billions of dollars. The popularity of this delusion, and the madness of the billion-dollar crowd is so much worse than anyone could have thought.
This is my learning goal right now, I can’t thank you enough!
It reminds me of how Japanese honeybees kill hornets - they overheat it by swarming it and flapping their wings vigorously to transfer body heat and cook it alive.

They fortunately can tolerate a few degrees higher core temperature than the hornet - it can't be good for the bees but if your lifespan is 60 days.
It is wild to me that people look at a number like 3/1,000,000 and don't think wow, that's 1900 Children who could die from something we have a vaccine for, that actively prevents the cause.

Also, can you imagine losing a child to something that was preventable? You can play numbers and statistics all day, but we're talking about children's lives.

You're probably not a parent? But for reference, go find examples of people who are parents that have lost children to some cause, and see what they're doing now? I would bet 9/10 times they're trying to prevent that from happening to others.
I think that all this COVID stuff was everything opposite than using science, starting from the people, including government, taking of "trusting science".

Science is not a religion, and we don't have to believe in it. Instead we need to be critic, conduct experiments, evaluate our thesis, put everything into discussion. Something we didn't, because you are a fool if you have doubts about vaccines, if you talk about negative effects, they are 100% safe and you are an ignorant.

This is the contrary of doing science. We didn't studied these vaccines enough, we didn't take for serious people lamenting adverse reactions, we did hide the news about that because we feared people not taking the vaccine. Is this science? It's not.

If you look at the news, vaccines are 100% safe and doesn't have any side effect. You ask people that got that, you get another opinion. Me too after the third dose (that I wouldn't had got if I wasn't forced to do so by our "democratic" government, no wonder here in Italy last elections won the "fascists", if these are the democratic people) I had serious side effects, I was basically not feeling well for a week. To take into prospective, when I got COVID in March 2020 when it was still a new thing I only got a slight fever for two days, nothing compared of the effect of the vaccine itself...
"81% of U.S. adults say they believe in God"

This seems like a more natural way of framing the data than this headline.
But the unemployment that those workers receive is an externality. Now, the nature of UI does mean that it should wash out in the end, but in the near term laying off thousands of people simultaneously potentially puts a strain on the system.
Can you give an example of "political bile"? Sowell is an incredibly even-keeled writer, and I'm surprised someone would find the book angry (or political, other than believing in traditional economics).
Promises to do something good in the indeterminate but distant future generate tons of positive press coverage for free.

Better to ignore empty PR nonsense and wait for billions in philanthropy to actually materialize before showering sociopaths with praise and adoration.
But the Matrix was specifically set at the time of "peak human civilization, 1999". I'm starting to wonder if they weren't wrong about that.
I like the term “anti-pro-vaccine”, the media would simply refer to it as “anti-vax”
A couple years back a sign memorializing the Emperor Norton Memorial Bridge was placed at the onramp around 5th and Bryant in San Francisco. Unfortunately it was taken down fairly quickly.

(The history is, some wag called the Bay Bridge the Willie L Brown Jr. Bridge, for some reason people started calling it that, and others who don't know any better perpetuate it. But real San Franciscans know it was and will always be Emperor Norton's bridge, and occasionally reminders of that fact go up.)

claim that they don't believe in God

They are correct. There is no magical "God" in either Shinto or Buddhism.

The rituals they are participating in are mainly cultural --- not "religious" --- at least not in the western sense.

As someone who experienced heart attack like symptoms as an under 30 year old, did go into the hospital and got a pericarditis[1] diagnosis, I think that describing your friends unknown heart condition as a heart attack is unnecessary fear mongering considering similar symptoms can present themselves as a much less severe condition. Both the Vaccine and Covid are known have a low chance of causing heart issues.

The people at Sequoia did not lose money. They are fine, and their investors are probably fine. The people who lost money were actual FTX users, who probably trusted FTX in part because it was so well-marketed and endorsed by so many "trustworthy" organizations like Sequoia.
So, this is very basic Go design and you could write something about how it works in C and Go and why a older lang like C don't have this prob but then at the end of the day the Go fanclub will down vote the hell out you no matter what.
> The decentralized aspects of crypto ("defi") has been operating just fine through this entire shit-show.

There's a reason that exchanges like FTX are central to "crypto" as a practical matter, regardless of the technical underpinnings of crypto itself. These things are required to facilitate speculation and attract users who otherwise would be capable of interacting with the actual distributed stuff.

Without the much needed fiat currency of this class of users, the pyramids couldn't have been built nearly so high.
Young men on the other hand appear to face the biggest increase in COVID related heart attacks according to https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/covid-19-surges-linked..., so perhaps the vaccine remains their best option.
You know, someone else gave me similar feedback as well. I'm kind of reluctant to make it longer, but might be a better story if it is. Like: maybe have something about the government responses to it and what happens, etc, work some of the explanations in there. Going to keep this in mind, appreciate it!
Oookay, that’s going to take me a lot of mental gymnastics.

I’m gonna go with Occam’s razor here and just assume the owner of the company knows more about this than I do.
Polio - people have forgotten rows of kids in iron lungs - perhaps you should read some history books and forget the crypto.
