It doesn't. I requested a feature to software-wipe the phone after X incorrect password attempts, but was rejected on the basis that this would be security theatre if implemented in software not hardware. I would like to implement a set of features to this end, but have not found the time. I would like:

- wipe after X incorrect attempts

- configure a "kill" passcode instantly wipes phone

- configure arbitrary passcodes that are mapped to actions when entered

- there's a feature to make phone reboot every X hours, if not unlocked, add a parallel feature to wipe phone if not unlocked in X hours.

- something where the passcodes are use once, and using an already used passcode wipes the phone. So you can bait LE and say "last time I unlocked it with X" and if they're stupid enough to not question you further, and just try X, it'll wipe, and it'll be their fault

- something to set a chance of wipe on the correct passcode, so you can say "any passcode might wipe the device"

I'm interested in hearing more ideas here.
>Labour is usually 8hrs/day 40hr/week. Bc we got used to. But when Korean and Chinese overtake us there will not be amount of whining that saves us from our lower productivity bc they have a harder mind.

I'm with you here. A lot of Silicon Valley workers are used to 35 hour work weeks with extremely inflated salaries. They think just because they know how to write a for loop, they should be treated by kings and queens. And when Chinese and Korean companies outcompete them, they become racist or anti-Asian.
Out of date time wasting clickbait. The actual news is this:

> the ability to exchange them back out for US dollars.

Crypto is extensively used to bypass capital controls imposed by many countries precisely because it's so easy send it to a foreign country and exchange them for a currency other than dollars. Think Lira, South African Rand etc.

There's certainly value in the systems. It's the value of the tokens that's uncertain.

My friend's 68 year old mother also had it (after being quite sure she was facing a fairly rapid death after other treatments failed).

Amazing.
In my experience managed languages work well when:

A) The business needs evolve quickly and/or cost cutting dev time is more valuable than having the application perform quickly.

B) the performance of the app isn’t that critical and developers will have a more pleasant experience in a better ecosystem

C) the managed language is mainly responsible for the control plane of a data path.

Anything beyond that, especially high performance code, will struggle. That’s why you see dev cycles spent on encryption algorithms, common low level routines, to the point of hand vectorizing assembly, etc. It’s a very well defined problem that’s fixed and has an outsized payoff because those things are used so often and used in places where the performance will matter.

There’s probably a 10x to 100x reduction in worldwide compute usage possible if you could wave a magic wand and have everything run as optimally as if the best engineers built everything and optimized everything to the levels we know how to do things now (computers have never been faster and never felt slower because of this).

However, it’s just not economical in terms of dev cycles per output and complaining otherwise is tilting at the windmills of market forces that give the edge in many scenarios to those languages (even when you factor in inefficiencies and/or extra time optimizing ). That’s what the person you’re replying to is stating and is something I’m 100% agreed with. This is someone who is a systems engineer who codes primarily in lower level languages and is generally a fan, especially Rust. I have probably written non trivial code in every popular language out there at this point and they’re just faster to get shit done in. Picking the right language is a mixture of figuring out what kind of talent you can attract, how much you can pay them, and what will satisfy your business needs within those constraints. A lot of people do choose incorrectly or suboptimally due to ignorance of how to choose, ignorance of the alternatives, picking because of personal familiarity the original author has, etc. Those choices are often more fatal when you choose a native language if your competitors choose better whereas the converse is less often true.

Yeah fair. I meant as a default (either) on/off filter but your point totally render mine moot :)
Agreed that there needs to be changes on all fronts. At the moment we're really pushing for the voluntary market. It's not a mandatory regulation but there are companies and individuals who do want to do something but don't have easy access.

We're trying to make CDR as accessible as possible with the hope of the side effect of raising awareness, increasing demand and causing more people to vote for leaders who value sustainable policy.
There are no clean hands here. Binance does sketchy things that screw over their customers. FTX apparently does too (although anyone else have their referral income dry up suddenly in July-ish?). This happens because it's blatantly clear that the tech is moving quicker than the legislature by years and the only 'tool' they can wield is punitive, with arguments designed via circular logic that would only justify more regulation, but have no clue what and how to regulate in a manner that actually protects consumers and minimize potential side-effects that may last for decades - because it's likely impossible thanks to congressional ignorance and the narrow mandates of executive branch agencies largely focused on punitive measures uber alles.

This might have gotten a bit personal, but effectively this is a lobbyist fight. Whoever wins, we lose. Keep your crypto in self-custody and remember that what the state and those with billions to spend on gaining influence are ultimately corseted by the myopia that comes with power. There are people who use crypto everyday now - I am one of them - and maybe the preoccupation over schoolyard slights and performative regulatory capture will simply result in more and more people moving crypto off the CEXes.

True, its a matter of preference. Some people like RGB and colors, I like black and little to no LEDs. I do care about the type of switches. My primary reason for this is my wife does not like noisy mechanical keyboard. But while I'd spend money on such, I would not spend money on custom keys. However, you are right that these do exist, and as such a sticker to create a custom key seems a valid minimal mod. Good luck with your business!
A lot of the suggested mitigations made a lot of sense to me. For example reducing time to prepare grant applications, or to add 1s jitter to stock trades.

Perhaps there are flaws to these specific ideas, but the thing that struck me most was that we have almost no way of implementing ideas like this in Anglo political countries right now.

Entrenched interests, and the technical detail involved makes it hard to imagine these ever happening. Nobody is ever going to raise a rabble based on making the stock market slower in this nerdy way.

It feels like these are the sort of technocratic solutions which could only come about in societies with high trust in institutions and a sense of ‘the common good’… ie maybe parts of Northern Europe but almost nowhere else.

Rebuilding that sort of trust and shared values is the biggest challenge… just wish I had better ideas for how to achieve it!
I have one of those (Binance) and there is literally 0 benefit to them, and OP comments' statement still holds true. The settlement is still in fiat currency, when you use the card it exchanges your crypto for fiat for settlement. It's not real cryptocurrency payment, neither will it probably ever be.

I have been on the inside for a while, and completely agree that there is zero fundamental value to anything, it is purely, 100% speculation and most of it (especially DeFi) is borderline illegal and useless.

I really think people have missed the point of Google and this sort of change. They are about constraining and managing what you can think.

Don't believe me? Hear it in Schmidt's own words:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeIIpLqsOe4 (30 sec clip)

"When you use google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that's a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world because we should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant you should look for information and we should give it exactly right and we should give it to you in your language and we should never be wrong."

Google see themselves as custodians of truth. They know the truth, and it is their job to give it to you.

Now you might wonder 'how do they know what they truth is'. For google there is no ambiguity, there are not multiple narratives or explanations. The truth is what they say the truth is.
I use a single device most of the time. Eliminating the need to sync calendars/mail/contacts/… across devices greatly reduces my dependence on big cloud providers.

On the other hand, I mostly work on open source software, so all my work is publicly available in timestamped commits. It is easy for anyone to guess my working hours, timezone, and time off. And all the comments I write can tell you a lot about my views of the world.

I think the privacy impact of open source is not talked about enough.
> Labour is usually 8hrs/day 40hr/week. Bc we got used to.

Because working more overtime lowers average productivity. That's a reason why Ford switched to a 40-hour week even though he wasn't legally required to do so.

And its likely is a factor for why "South Korea has the fastest shortening working time in the OECD" and "[in China] work hours have reportedly been falling for about three decades due to rising productivity, better labor laws, and the spread of the two-day weekend." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_time

> I myself have even worked 22 hours in a row

Sure. But don't mix short exceptions like this with derision about 40hr/weeks and "when Korean and Chinese overtake us", because those are two entirely different topics.
People falling over is more of a concern, it would take significant lateral acceleration before drinks fell it’s just easy to visualize.

As to why no cup holders, people aren’t going to use them most of the time and they don’t even help that much in turbulence.
I think we all feel this could be the cause. Someone decided they can optimize because less than 5% used this sort order. So they knew they would be uproar, but a small, 5%-ish uproar. And now once someone uploads a video they have to rebuild only two caches (recent and popular), not three.
What’s the motivation for this? Telemetry they can monetize?
You can speed up app launching by turning off the optional exec-based spawning feature. Our camera app also has a Latency mode which recently became the default instead of Quality mode. Google and Apple camera apps essentially always use something resembling the Latency mode, but with lower JPEG quality by default.

When you wipe out, especially if you do it close to where the wave breaks, you're leaving out the part where you're deep underwater, being thrown around like a coffee bean in a grinder, not knowing which way is up and having the somewhat nagging problem of finding air again.

And when you finally do emerge, what do you know, the next wave is already here for the next trip down.

And all of that is assuming there isn't sharp coral reefs at the bottom.
There’s so many little nuances that are technical and economic red flags to me that just elicit vacant expressions when I speak to zealots.

Take these exchanges. Set aside for a second the lack of regulations/protections/security checks that they’d be subject to if they were above board.

Just from a technical perspective: there are N tokens trading on the exchange. For each token, there is 1 logical implementation of that chain and there are P implementations of that logic (also often 1, sometimes more). You have X clients, with their own balances of each token B.

So, even beyond your own code/risk management/security systems, you have (N * P) other blocks of code that you’ve never audited, that would cause you (X * B) liabilities to your customers that you didn’t cause and have no ability to prevent on an ongoing basis.

The more successful your exchange is, the more those risks and liabilities grow - presumably exponentially.

All I get back is vacant stares when I point this out. Or get told “I just don’t get it” or “have fun staying poor”.

Sigh.

First - we are happy you like the concept and we do agree with you. Validating and verifying is difficult at the moment. Partly because there are a lot of questionable schemes out there and partly because carbon removal as a concept is very much in its infancy. Our approach is to inspect the life cycle analysis of our partners wherever possible and try to provide as much transparency as possible - delivery times, pricing structures, purchases from partners for independent verification etc. Trust has to be earned and we hope transparency can help build trust in us and the CDR market in general.

Second - it was on our original roadmap to try and bring in a standard for removals however as a for-profit this was generally received poorly. We fully support some form of indepedent third party validation for carbon removal that addresses the flaws in the existing credits system but I'm afraid this isn't our primary priority at the moment. Perhaps we could form a non-profit sister to address this in the future though...

Doing software projects for domestic and foreign users is extra work, and the community seems to fragment along language lines. For example: https://www.esp32.com/index.php

I guess a 纯中文国内社区 is one way to solve this, but then why post on hacker news? This seems contradictory.
> How can you keep track of what you have and haven't seen

YT does show you any progress you have made watching a video when viewing a channels video list

> Youtube may as well remove subscriptions and replace the home page with a big-ass "Random" button.

They are trying too. A number of YT’ers with partner managers or who have had conversations with staff, have said YT wished they could get rid of subscriptions entirely and rely on the algorithm instead. Tbf on this point, I hardly ever use the subscription page myself and either use the recommendation page or direct link/notifications, so I can see their point on not really caring about subscriptions, but you know we as humans do like to see numbers increase.

Thanks. great article. also never want to get a letter like that "your investment is marked to zero". got to love this quote from article "“Everything was rickety—there was no avoiding the ricketiness. Obviously, the line between rickety and shady is a little unclear at times, but the places that seemed like they were going to steal customer funds outright, we didn’t touch,” Singh says. “Even the best players in the space were having big problems.”
wow - impressive work!

Curious about the carbon positive aspect of this though? Where to the emissions come from? Are the trees your planting for fuel or something else?

The big difference between 2001 and now is that high compensation at top jobs enables greater savings.

Most people in 2001 had to find work quickly to keep surviving. Mid-career high performers from Meta, Twitter, Netflix, etc have millions in savings and assets.

Those people could sit out a few years if they wanted, or even just retire early if they were happy with the $60-100k/year income from interest/capital gains at a consevative withdrawl rate.

Most of these people still choose to work today because they have well paying jobs which they enjoy. High performers gonna perform, etc. But, if the only option was toxic jobs combined with low pay many would simply opt-out.

Many in this dev cohort have been extremely lucky and have the privilege to take a stand. 2022 isn't really a great time to be an asshole captialist banking on qualified employees having no other options.

Fresh graduates and early career individuals are a possibility. But, you still need experienced devs to mentor them and maintain the large complex systems/infrastructure that fresh hires can't yet handle without more experience. Attracting and retaining this senior talent is the hard part.
I have mentioned before - I hate Goodhart's law. It makes no sense. There is no example that is a good measure but a bad target.

The canonical example I have heard is hospital emergency rooms that started to be measured by wait times, so they refused to admit patients until staff was ready to receive them, literally having ambulances circling around the block. This was supposed to be a "good measure turned into bad target" situation, but of course it makes no sense. What really changed was the locus of evaluation from the patient that evaluates his end-to-end emergency care experience on many criteria, including, but not limited to, emergency room wait times, to a bureaucrat who just evaluates the hospital myopically on 1 metric.

It is always the myopia of singling out this measure/target that is bad, throwing off all other tradeoffs and considerations, not the actual desire to improve the measure/target.
Some tokens are there to solve problems that eth did not or could not solve. For example Solana is geared towards building contracts in rust and executing their functions at %0.001 the cost of solidity+eth.

The token ponzi telegram culture is overshadowing the real world problems we can solve (such as absolving trust based contracts)
> iPhone: $3.6B

Is that an amount to create an initial iPhone? While it was awesome, if it stayed like that, it wouldn't change the industry. It would seem fair to add up all the R&D costs that went into getting iPhone to where it is today, which will be much higher.

Dtto Tesla. For Apollo, we know the total.

Well, nothing technically, from what Latin I remember. I meant it in the not-technical sense that the nominative form is different from the word stem and it looks superficially like a standard 1st/2nd declension adjective.
Fully agree.
Om this note, I had a brief discussion with an employer I collaborated with once, about some potential employees being forced to work in the open because they open sourced their work. I was terribly surprised to get no understanding that this could be perceived as a problem. Especially since work tasks may not be something you would want on your public record necessarily.
Minor correction in that our primary forestation partner is Eden Forestation (although we have used OneTreePlanted in the past) but everything else you mention is accurate - thanks!
Same reason supermarkets place bread and milk far from the entrance, so you have to fuddle your way through the rest of their offerings before you get what you want. YouTube would have figured out if they make it really difficult to find good content, you'll get distracted looking at something else and then have to come back for whatever you wanted later anyway.

Hot tip: I use regular google search like so to search youtube 'topic site:youtube.com'. It avoids all the clutter the YouTube search results provide.

Afterthought: YouTube is getting so bad, I wonder if there's any third-party (paid or free) front end?
