My experience with my hardware wallet is that I put some stuff on it, left it for a year, and then when I went to go plug it in it wanted to update. The update will wipe it.

I can use my recovery seed phrase after, but as far as I’m concerned that’s an “oh crap” backup. For all I know I could have screwed up writing it down. Unlikely, but possible. Apparently it’s also possible to other software wallets to get the crypto off of there.

Frankly, if there aren’t ways for the average non-tech person to safely and reliably hold crypto there’s no point. Most of my stuff is on Coinbase and I’ve always figured that if that ship goes down the whole thing will come crashing down anyhow.
Sorry, nope. This looks exactly like Teuxdeux, and even borrows some very similar product marketing imagery. (https://teuxdeux.com/)

There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another re-skin with one or two tweaks.
Fuji rated far below Granny Smith? Horse food?? O H P L E A S E
I’m excited for ideas like this to become mainstream. Today’s approaches to heterogeneous and distributed computing are how I imagine single core computing was 40 years ago. You have to manually manage practically everything. Instead, let the compiler or interpreter or whatever figure out where to actually run it (CPU vs ALU vs GPU vs remote machine #42), what to keep in what part of cache (L1 vs L2 vs RAM vs disk vs S3), etc.
In 99.99% of cases for Smartphones, you are going to sign and pay Qualcomm for all of its license anyway. Including all patent in 3G/4G and 5G, as well as other wireless tech, Image, Sensor, Battery and of course including Video Codec patents.

What is interesting ( to me at least ), their new Video Engine IP in Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 did not include H.266 / VVC.
But that's no longer rule by law that's rule by mob outrage or by the security apparatus depending on who you believe wants TikTok banned.

Is it really appropriate to give the government the power to arbitrarily name certain companies to no longer exist or operate within the US because the government said so? How long before this power is used against Parler or some other company because people don't like it. Or WikiLeaks or other sources of inconvenience and upset to the those running things? Should 4chan be allowed to exist?
Yeah, mobile browsers are brutal if you want to use a "make this rectangle as big as possible" layout strategy, because they have multiple "view heights" depending on whether the address bar is visible (since they automatically hide on scroll these days) there is no good solution for this with CSS yet that works on all browsers. I will continue to work on improving that.

the struggle is real
A good blog post has lots of hard parts (layout, scope, visuals, audience).
Laurence Tratt, you nailed it for me!
I loved the details you put in "Benchmarking methodology" and the clean layout with instructive visuals.
I've observing on HN what seems to be a trend back to self hosting and that essentially is going to lead to the simplicity of the good ole LAMP stack. I see what seems like a lot of fatigue with all the frameworks, dependencies, containers, etc. It was like those things had initial excitement but then longer term were more of a burden/risk/hindrance.
If it stops everyone else, great!
> you need things like potable water or food now

What good is a book on gardening when you're hungry right now? What good is a herd of cows when you need to put out a fire? You sound like an anti-second amendment person asking if we intend to use our guns to shoot down an f35 fighter.

No, bitcoin and crypto aren't going to be the savior for someone who wakes up in Mosul in the middle of the fighting.

But they might be a way out of the country with wealth intact, the difference between being a penniless refuge and a valued citizen.

> Again. First. World.

You're using first/second/third world incorrectly labels, and you're wrong. Even in the poorest places in the world, and the most war torn, we see people with their mobile devices and tiny solar panels, or charging from a merchant with a larger panel.

> continuous easily available connection at any point

No, you really don't need that. You could produce a signed transaction alone, disconnected from everyone, on your phone, and represent it as a QR code with bushes in your backyard and I could scan it from a satellite photo, decode it, and submit it to the blockchain.

This is far fetched but the point is that the transaction can be made alone and offline, transmitted to the blockchain by any means even over months or years, without risk of being modified on the way. You could hide these in letters overseas, or boxes of goods, etc.

> Instead of, you know, actual cash, barter, and storing valuables in actual valuables.

If I was you I'd list all the ways that cash and valuables can be taken and that barter might be for broken or worthless goods. Instead I'll summarize as "there are risks in everything".
Totally agree

How do you even know the exchange spent the money on crypto if you dont see the keys, you may have just handed over $$ for a positive transaction on a virtual spreadsheet
It seems yes
Please add the one from the UniFreiburg. https://www.unicross.uni-freiburg.de/unifm-884/
Here's a hypothetical example of an occasion on which we should ask ourselves whether we want to get into something, closer to home, without involving geopolitics. (And I'm not speaking of this Area 51 thing, but the more general question prompted by some projects.)

Let's say some new social networking startup wants to appeal to teens by being edgy/counterculture, and doing automated crowdsourced real-time tracking of local police, as one of the features of their app. (Because casually affecting a hint of teen revolutionary operator, with power over authorities, is easier and more appealing than producing videos of eating laundry detergent.)

If people at that startup stopped to consider unintended effects of that, when used by people they don't want to help (burglars, violent criminals, etc.), I think they'd modify or abandon the idea, before very bad things happened.
Someone on a forum I frequent lost their (90 year old) father this morning. I never know what to say in those situations so I tend to hide for a few days.

Yes, a statistician I hired calculated a "p" of zero. A "p" less than 0.05 is considered significant.

The generalization is that such legislation is constitutional if allowed to be enforced. Then nothing prevents another bill from coming through.
He's got Granny Smith in the shit category, and this just reminds me of a funny story about dogs!

We had two corgis and my wife made all their meals by hand. Part of their diet was apples, but we found one of the corgis would almost always eat around the apple (usually just a cheap red apple) pieces and leave them for the other dog. Then one time Granny Smith apples were cheaper at the grocery store so that is what we purchased and provided. He ate them up!

Turns out the dog just didn't like the sweeter apples and wanted the tart tang of a good Granny Smith.
The concept of sub-tasks makes sense as it breaks down bigger tasks into small. I actually made my own app based on goals oriented habits, tasks and sub-tasks until I pivoted. I also added async social accountability by sharing snaps of whatever you're doing. I still have the code in the current version but I'm no longer targeting that audience anymore. It's part of something bigger. Shameless plug -> https://atomiclife.app. Still working on version 2 (technically version 4 as I pivoted 2x) and I build in public, you can follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/rish1_2
We are largely in agreement as you concede my points. But you want to retain this word as applied, eg., to bitcoin.

The sound of rain falling is neither "centralised" nor "decentralised". It isnt the kind of thing which could be either *in the relevant sense of the word*.

When we talk about centralisation in economics and politics we arent talking about where databases are.

Bitcoin is as centralised *a system* as any which exist, and much much more so than paper money.

This idea that you can send a signal betweeen two machines you own and make some changes to your wallet is a gross misdirection.

That has nothing to do with any of the value props of crypto. It has no economic or political meaning. It's purely a technical property of the technology.
"except that they are the type of person who will break laws serious enough to get arrested."

Literally every type of crime involves arrest. It's that some crimes are custodial arrests and others are not. You can be arrested and in custody for going 26mph over the speed limit. That's a pretty low bar.

Yes, I know people in law enforcement and the military as well. Many of them disagree with the types of actions you see in these high profile raids.

Let's not forget that some of the very agents involved in things like Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians have shown harsh criticism of how inappropriately the leadership handled the strategy for those.
How would one go about selling their blood?
I think I still don't know what not to say... the article doesn't seem to me to explicitly tell what those things I shouldn't say are... it just explains the "kinds of things", like "don't make it about yourself"... but I don't even know how anyone can make it about themselves?! What do they say to make it look like that? Perhaps I am doing that but I have no idea?! Could someone be a bit more specific?

If they have a sign on the fence that says 'no photography' then that would probably apply to a weather balloon irrespective of distance.

Nobody wants to admit that a vast majority of VC due diligence is just assuming that the other VCs did due diligence.
Sorry to break the carefully chiseled communication of the Estonian government, but e-services in Estonia aren't so great. Source: I leave here.

The Estonian e-id is a good idea, but very badly implemented, and quite creepy:
- You need to install some government software on your computer to use basic services. They ask you to install a browser extension. huh...

- The software UI is really crap. You get error messages in Russian, you have 3 apps for different purposes. You need to dump your cookies before using the e-id online, and it's nowhere said. Using e-id is usually a real pain, as it doesn't work out of the box most of the time.

- It's not needed most of the time. Why do I need to find my e-id, the adapter, my code, just to check my internet provider account? A simple mail/password would have been fine.

- If you're on your phone, you can use a "mobil-id" and use it like this, and pay using your id. Ok, but then, well...there's a disturbing centralization of data. A friend got a tax inspection because his supermarket card was linked to his e-id and he was seemingly spending more than what he was getting paid for his job. Are you OK with the government spying on your spending?

- Estonia has almost no public services. Healthcare is a joke here - you need to wait often more than 3 months to see a specialist, even in Tallinn. Kindergartens are very difficult to access without bribing the administration (you don't need an e-id for this). There's a very opaque "elite school" system, which is geared around gatekeeping the good schools for the elite, while the rest of the population gets sub-par education. So yeah, being able to book a doctor online is interesting only if there are doctors available.

Also, in the rest of the economy, one is forced to admit that web services are really underdeveloped - most shops don't have an online presence. Estonia's very good at PR, but most foreigners there (and some of the local population that lived abroad) will tell you it's mainly bs.
My current employer is a non US company and layoffs don't seem to be in their vocabulary. Their customer is every data center, everywhere. I feel pretty safe.
The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (equivalent to about $23 billion in 2020). We're nearing $100 billion with Ukraine. $31 billion to California EDD (unemployment) fraud.
Wrong comparison, try “violent movies” or “porn” instead of alcohol, then you’re still within first amendment territory.

Unless we go from “money is speech” to “alcohol loosens lips, ergo it is speech”…
Interesting

It feels like Elon is the new Trump Derangement Synrome (TDS)
Talk of "worsening climate crisis" is just fear porn made by people with an agenda
> Current estimates are at about $10 billion they lost gambling on crypto with customer money.

I just don't understand the scale of it. Ten billion dollars is huge. It takes months if not years, even to lose that much in gambling. Did nobody notice anything off? Was the entire company in on it?

I'm confused by the mixing of abstractions going on here.
Technically it's not possible to do anything in any programming language without assembly.
But barring that, it is absolutely possible to write bare-metal device drivers without any assembly, because most systems use memory-mapped IO and C can directly reference and dereference that memory.

And then, if an FFI is required do to X, can you really say it's possible to do an X in your language? C/C++/unsafe Rust or another language that can directly reference memory still ends up being required in that end.
Só if you send it to someone, what can they do with it?
Chatbots work well and I can have conversations with them that are fulfilling. When I talk to people I typically don't ask them random trivia.
Cancer needs fuel, it is after all a patient's cell gone rogue. A patient could starve themselves and the cancer would stop growing-- but so would all the other cells. My personal discussions with trained professionals is that patients should eat what they need to stay healthy and content.

BTW-- Derek Lowe discusses some of this and how cold temperature / brown-fat could be researched to find usefulness to slow cancer: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/cancer-cold

>> And like any notable differences between tumor cells and regular ones, there have been attempts to exploit this metabolic change for cancer therapy, but that's been difficult to realize. It can be tricky to throw a wrench into glycolysis without messing up energy homeostasis in general, for one thing, and some of the more indirect attempts have not had clinical success. As that last linked paper outlines, even the reasons behind the Warburg effect are not completely clear - the low-oxygen story makes sense, sure, but there are tumors that don't seem to be oxygen-deprived that also show it.
carefully...

"Since HRmax varies by individual, the most accurate way of measuring any single person's HRmax is via a cardiac stress test. In this test, a person is subjected to controlled physiologic stress (generally by treadmill or bicycle ergometer) while being monitored by an electrocardiogram (ECG). The intensity of exercise is periodically increased until certain changes in heart function are detected on the ECG monitor, at which point the subject is directed to stop. Typical duration of the test ranges ten to twenty minutes."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate#Maximum_heart_rate

I think it might be dangerous for some people to seek out max heart rate without a doctor present.
Eh. I get it. It can be a major event for people. Especially if it's the first time. I'm not sure how I would respond to being laid off. I've never been fired from a job. I've always quit/resigned.

So it would be a completely novel experience for me.

When I was reading through the article however, I got it. Because while I haven't lost a parent yet or lost my job, I have lost a wife. One day I got a call around 5pm Friday that she was a state away and leaving me. Like out of the blue. No idea.

And people kept trying to tell me how I felt. And none of them were right. They offered vague promises of help, but there was nothing concrete. But I knew what I needed to do and just went about the business. The worst thing, the most annoying thing, was people trying to treat you differently and tell you how you feel and ascribe your every thought, word, and action to the event. If you had a rough morning because you spilled coffee on yourself, well it's the event. If you decide to go out to a bar and see people you haven't in a while, well it's the event. Feeling bored at work, the event. Happy, the event. Sad, the event. Upset because everyone is saying everything is about the event, well it's really because of the event.

I can say in my case, I did just want to get on with things. But it's almost like I wasn't allowed to.

And I think that's what the article is trying to convey. Let people handle their internal state the way they want to.
Not because of NFTs, people that chose to learn how to use crypto natively find it easier, faster and less of a hassle, than the people that chose to say these are insurmountable barriers to adoption and stick with those custodial exchanges

Just like with general computer use, after a certain point people can’t blame the user experience on their own incompetence
Im not sure I follow your entire post, Are you critiquing FTX, the government, or both? Either way, I think we largely agree.

I wasn't commenting on FTX, but utilitarian giving in general.
I think there is room for thinking about effective altruism, but it shouldn't have a moral monopoly over giving. it makes sense for a narrow set of goals: (e.g. minimize global suffering), but that isn't the only thing people can or should care about

I also think it is pretty silly that people can't seems to separate FTX from effective altruism, and criticize each on their own merit.
Let’s not though, unless there’s some benefit to the user.
Crypto like Bitcoin is fine. Exchanges that are stealing money are the problem. Confusing the two is a mistake IMO
You might be right and my 95% was a bit off. But the main point is that 80-85% being sustainable for only 30s might only be the case for someone who is in absolutely terrible shape.
This is a fantastic idea and if anyone from a relevant company sees this please do pass it along.
In the UK we have medical malpractice too (and far to much of it), but we also define what tests are expected. My understanding is the people defining those tests aren't incentivised to overtest (by companies trying to sell the tests) or undertest (through fear of being sued).
improving my relationship with my wife has roughly been figuring out "is she venting/complaining or looking for a solution", and for myself, asking the same thing.
is normies some kind of insult
how is this done? I looked into the rules and you can't sell options or stocks from companies you have a controlling stake in into your own Roth. Friends and family can't either. I feel like you would have to be in a pretty special and unlikely situation to actually pull this off not even assuming the stock price actually increases much. I could be wrong about that.
Policies are not for having an effect. They are for creating an impression, especially when it comes to unprofitable things like the environment.
If you know it, use it. But it's not worth learning if you don't already know it. Or, it's at least fairly low on the priority list.
Yes, you do. This is the cost of doing business. I'm OK with it.

If one doesn't want to deal with imperative programming in all its glory, go write Haskell or something. (I do that too.)
A document is not a ledger. The blockchain is the distribution mechanism.
That seems fairly true. Are there any repercussions for Drake (Snowden predecessor) after winning his case?
"Tech is mature and growth is over". I remember that consensus headline from the 1980s.
maybe a dumb question but why not build an alternative ?! there's a real need for something like tiktok but with much more features like payments, commerce, influencer based ads etc. I really it would work, just make something better!
Not politics, but idiotic crap like tidepod-challenges and general promotion of unhealthy/stupid crap. That’s how you unravel a generation while making sure your own population gets healthy exercise videos.
Succinctness means the proof size is smaller than the witness, and that it can be verified quickly. So your proof size and verification time can remain small even with large inputs. Succinctness and SNARK is the basis for practical verifiable computation systems like Pinocchio[1], early applications like Zerocoin, and now is the basis for scaling blockchains with ZK rollups.

See for yourself[2]. Much of the recent developments of practical ZKP stems from SNARK. In the last few years there has been an explosion of new papers and tools around this - lots of it driven by blockchain and in some cases directly funded by it.

If/when coinbase blows up it’ll be the standard story (expenses > revenue + new investments) rather than this paper mache tiger that FTX was.

Hopefully.
> Don't accommodate bad behavior by others. Get email documentation so when they cause your things to break you have leverage.

Who says it’s bad behavior? Maybe they’re at capacity and their manager told them to deprioritize requests coming from outside the team. Maybe the OP’s requests are unreasonable or better handled by someone else.

Not enough information here to make a determination one way or the other. One thing is for sure, people need to stop viewing colleagues as their servants. Most people want to be helpful, if someone doesn’t help you when you ask for help, there is usually a reason.
So... What ? I've yet to find myself in a position where I was wondering on which level of such a scale I am.

The only interesting question is "I'm perpetually at one of the last two or three stages, how do I go down the scale ?"

(Ironically, reading HN is one of the things _not_ to do.)

Not only that, I had to pay for my own lunch and it took four weeks for it to finally say it wasn't hiring me.

Is the problem with leetcode the content or the process? The process is utterly broken, but any time hiring comes up it feels like most complaints are about the content.
I prefer this over everyone using the same excuse and or reason (contrast with Twitter talking points from pundits who use the same phraseology to push for or against something).
> Honestly I find it hard to understand sticking with C89.

C89 is the only C version with almost universal support across platforms and compilers (including ancient one). Requiring C99 may break backward compatibility and breaking compatibility, even just for a tiny fraction of users, is a lot worse than where to define variables.
