Um, no? Crypto currencies are not creating value. If crypto prices increased monotonically, it would only mean that the fiat currency in which you're denominating prices is losing value.

Non-zero-sum games require mechanisms that produce or unlock new value that becomes available to agents. An innovation lets a farmer produce more grain, such that the farmer makes more money and consumers pay less for the same amount of food. But a pile of transactions each of which just exchanges goods, fiat currency and crypto currency at varying prices does not produce net value.
From $32B to criminal investigations: How SBF’s empire vanished overnight
This title feels at least somewhat clickbait.

A less clickbait title would be: "Researchers discover that, with physical access, they can disrupt TTEthernet synchronization".

"Ethernet" in the title does not refer to normal ethernet devices, but rather TTEthernet.

"Cyberattack" to me implies the attack doesn't require physical access, but this attack does require physical access to a switch on the network, and how they've implemented it requires installing a persistent powered device on the hardware.

"Crunches Critical Systems" to me implies it's actually been exploited in the wild. This has not been.

The article implies this attack could be deployed against airplanes, space ships, and wind turbines. From my understanding of this attack, I would recommend protecting from it in the same way you currently protect against the attack of "someone DoSd us by walking up and unplugging the ethernet cable", which is to say a combination of closed panel doors, "do not touch" signs, and, if you must, a physical lock.

I must spend at least a couple days a year for the last 15 fantasizing about having a wireless information radiator like this.

The idea first came to me in the era before BYOD was an okay thing. It was a huge struggle to put anything on the network, like a board saying how broken the builds are. And punching holes in walls or having dangling cables is always a problem, even at home, hence wireless.

Well good thing on river hydro is a separate category from renewables and noone is suggesting going back to it.

All of the examples of cheap nuclear power are ridden with corruption scandals and incredibly unreliable.

If you decide the CCP are suddenly trustworthy and ignore that finance and insurance have costs then the very limited fraction of nuclear power that can be produced might be both, but that doesn't make mining uranium any less horrific.

Cry bullying about the mean greens that have never been in power and only rarely held minority coalition positions just makes you look pathetic.
And then, regarding the actual act of note taking, there are some popular methods - it's interesting how people reaaaaaally think about this stuff. There's The Cornell Note Taking System [1] and The Bullet Journal System. This guide [3] recommends other good notebooks and several good pens, including the Sakura Pigma Micron, the Pilot G-Tec C and the Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen. I use the Faber-Castell often.

I feel like you don't actually understand the efficient markets hypothesis.

The point of all this information being baked into the price of an asset is not that the market is particularly correct -- surprises certainly happen. It's that you don't really profit from all that knowledge. You say, "Oh, well, I know that this company has such-and-such a balance sheet." But everyone else knows that as well (and, in fact, knows more about the health of that company because they have access to semi-private information and/or just more expertise about that economic sector than you do), and if you go, "Hey, I want to buy this stock because their business seems strong," you already have to pay the premium for their business being strong, and their expected growth, such that you're pretty much purely buying risk now, not the strong company. If they profit, but not quite as much as expected, you lose money. Potentially a lot of money!

Meta is down 65% this year. That's on $27B in quarterly revenue and $4.39B in quarterly profit! And it's down 65%! Let's be real: you didn't look at Meta's financials at the beginning of this year and realize that your investment there would be down 65%. What's the floor on Meta? I mean, nobody actually knows. They have a lot of revenue, but you can always get a lot of debt and have that eat your revenue up. I'm inclined to be optimistic about Meta -- but so is the market, that's why it's at $310B market cap. If I buy now, could it lose another 65% value and be at a "mere" $100B market cap? Sure.
It sounds like the person who obscured the license plate may have had some political clout (or been a friend of a cop). That is how the NYPD works these days.
I ran cross-country races over those dunes in high school. It was from about mile 2 to mile 2.5 of the 3.1 mile race. Brutal to run.
I'm an abjurer of optimism and pessimism equally, but hope can be useful. In a way the situation is even worse than your original comment suggested. More than just the indifference of being 'out of vogue', there's a lot of active hostility to the very notion of peacebuilding, as some responses suggested. But in the end, the main alternatives to active institution-and-culture-building are either to passively await a randomish fate, or pure militarism (whether defensive or aggressive). It's entirely predictable, given the growth in technology, that either of those alternatives does lead deterministically to catastrophe. Peacebuilding, frustratingly intractable though the problems may seem, is really all there is.
The CEO isn't the one who is ultimately in charge, because the CEO is appointed by the board of directors, who are elected by the shareholders.

Ultimately it is the shareholders who decide whether they want to stay invested in a business with a unionized labor force.

The French newspapers announced the departure of Bonaparte from Elba, his progress through France, and his entry into Paris in the following manner:

— 9th March, the Anthropophagus has quitted his den

— 10th, the Corsican Ogre has landed at Cape Juan

— 11th, the Tiger has arrived at Gap

— 12th, the Monster slept at Grenoble

— 13th, the Tyrant has passed through Lyons

— 14th, the Usurper is directing his steps towards Dijon, but the brave and loyal Burgundians have risen en masse and surrounded him on all sides

— 18th, Bonaparte is only sixty leagues from the capital; he has been fortunate enough to escape the hands of his pursuers

— 19th, Bonaparte is advancing with rapid steps, but he will never enter Paris

— 20th, Napoleon will, tomorrow, be under our ramparts

— 21st, the Emperor is at Fontainbleau

— 22nd, His Imperial and Royal Majesty, yesterday evening, arrived at the Tuileries, amidst the joyful acclamations of his devoted and faithful subjects.

I can’t say I follow your logic at all.

Companies exist to make money. Investors invest to make money. Investors have a desire (and sometimes a right) to be heard.

But just because the investor has strong opinions and wants to be heard, it doesn’t mean Google has to listen or act.

This is all operating precisely as it is meant to.

If automated plate recognition cameras fail to detect a plate, it should immediately flag a human reviewer and someone should be sent out to stop the car.
For folks outside NYC, there are a ton of cars that do this here and it generally never results in a ticket regardless of reports directly to the police or 311. It's done to dodge speed cameras, red light cameras, and tolls as well as to avoid being reported for reckless driving and accidents. The drivers who do this are generally the more dangerous ones. In NYC, under 15% of drivers who kill cyclists are arrested. Only 3% of hit and run cases are solved. 124 pedestrians, 50 motorcyclists, 19 cyclists and 15 people on mopeds and ebikes were killed in NYC last year.

It's a bit sad that there's no mention of support for this feature anywhere outside of EU & US.

The irony is that this feature is especially useless in Europe, which is so built up that it's a challenge to find a location that isn't covered by mobile networks, or within walking distance of civilization.

Meanwhile in Australia you can find yourself 100 km from the next nearest human by accident. My coworker for example went driving in north Queensland and got his 4WD stuck in mud. That can be a life & death situation in a place like that, but just an inconvenience in most of Europe.

Even if Apple can't get the emergency services integration organised in every nation, the "send my location via satellite" feature would still be useful. That way you could get your friends or relatives to organise help on your behalf.
It doesn’t matter you use it to access a news article someone else uses it to issue a death threat as a joke or do something worse your IP is tagged on the same account and someone might come knocking.

Law enforcement isn’t even likely to know that the account is on BMN or even what it is. And what’s worse is if the rest of the IPs are foreign but you are local well congrats you’ve now become the focus simply for being within reach.

There have been plenty of viable commons over human history. Peacebuilding is in large part the process of building institutions to manage them. The failure to put in the work to build such institutions, or to maintain them once created, is what the TOTC consists in.
I'm glad the cyclist did something to raise awareness. Roads are a shared space with shared responsibilities. Valid, visible licenses plates are fundamental to public accountability for drivers of automobiles. They are there for everyone to see. There is no way that driver should be able to get away with obscuring his license plate, and I think the cyclist was within his rights to uncover the obscured license plate.

Web-browsers are a lot better at auto-filling registration forms correctly thesedays, and now that even Office 365 supports disposable e-mail addresses means that registering for online services is far less of a chore than it was before. Also, many sites support federated identity (OIDC, Sign-in-with-Google, etc) which also takes a lot of the pain away.

I remember in years gone-by, before data/privacy-laws were either introduced or widely understood by web-devs that sites would have all manner of required fields just because someone from marketing or management thinks they need to collect everyones' home address, age, home, work, and mobile phone numbers, and sex/gender - now that they legally can't (without a good reason) things are a lot smoother.

So in summary, BugMeNot is gone because the severity of the problem it aimed to solve (online registration tedium) has been reduced below the threshold of action.

> The drivers who do this are generally the more dangerous ones.

Let's call a spade a spade: the NYPD are the single worst offenders in almost all type of traffic and parking offenses (including obscured license plates). There are entire watchdog groups dedicated to documenting traffic-related NYPD abuses of power.

This is also why it's pointless to report violations, because 311 just sends it to the police, who take no action.
mythtv is still pretty great fwiw.

Auto flagging ads is pretty good, but even don't bother, just using kodi as a front end with the plugin and skipping forward 3 minutes when an ad comes on does most of the job. (sometimes you do another 30 seconds or 1 minute and you get really good at it).

Start watching your program 10-20 minutes late and no ads.

Live sport is the only place I see tv ads at all nowadays - hence the crush and cram maybe?

Everything you do to avoid ads, from blocking your ears, to ripping out magazine pages, running myth or equivalent, pi hole and similar adblockers must be made explicitly completely legal on the grounds of self-defence and proper care of your family. Regardless of the legality it's kind of your ethical duty.

Alot of GOFAI was about symbolic reasoning which is back in fashion thanks to areas like Neurosymbolic AI and Graph Learning. One could argue that Generative AI like Stable Diffusion is incorporating some of these techniques. What is prompt engineering and textual inversion if not the manipulation of symbols? Add more recent interest in areas like Answer Set Programming and "what is old is new again". It's not like GOFAI dissapeared. Even technologies like Expert Systems still see use under a new name. Sometimes you don't need a heuristic approximation of the rules that you get from all ML approaches. You need exact representations or already know the rules and the challenge is inference.
AI likes to make stuff up. I don't know much about AI, but I think they used the wrong AI.

Technically, they are. There was a post on HN recently about how every model is equivalent to a decision tree.
This is all just crazily, pants-on-head wrong.

Like, sure, on a whole-economy level, if nobody is creating value, then the economy isn't growing. But you aren't buying the whole economy, you're buying an asset, and that asset just needs to be desired in order for it to increase in value. There is no function where "if I gain money from BTC, you have to lose money from BTC." That's just... not at all how this works.
Not sure which parent you mean, but if you mean my comment, I wasn't talking about absolute certainty at all. Rather, I was attempting a reductio ad absurdum against theories which talk about the probability of different universes within a multiverse. Nothing I said is an argument against probabilistic reasoning/knowledge limited to the confines of this universe only.
That's good I went through the process for $0.50 the mail continues.
Ask HN: Given two repos of code, what criteria would you use to grade quality?
I'm curious, given two repos containing code that accomplish the same goal and produce the same correct results per requirements, what quantitive and qualitative criteria would you use to grade reach repo and the engineer's skills that produced them?

For e.g. some folks say "readability" and "understandability", but how do you define that and how do you think that would translate to a quantitative metric (if possible)?

To be super pedantic, you bought a license for the software. That is just the truth us consumers have to deal with, and you can support DRM-free purchases like via GOG to help turn the tide.

Also existing owners of OW1 were given additional stuff for OW2. Of course, I (as an owner myself) don't think it was a good compensation and hate Blizzard for removing the old game. But there is enough justification that your original price has been repaid in content.

I've worked in a company where this was the explicit hiring strategy pursued by new leadership. Two different leaders came in from two different companies (both of which had been acquired and were now seeing a lot of turnover).

In the first case, the new leadership was outside of my department but they were pressuring me as the hiring manager for a role to bring on their people, who "were known 'good' folks". When I interviewed them, the whole interviewing team agreed not to hire them because their skill set may have been good for the company they were at but a complete mismatch for the problems we had. While we didn't ultimately hire them, there was a lot of pressure and lobbying to do so.

In the second case, the new leadership stepped in as head of the department/unit I was running. They took a look at the team we had and our current operating patterns, and decided that it would be faster to replace the team with new people who fit their existing operational model than to transition the existing team over to a new way of working. No one was fired, but it was a "either they fit in with the new model, they quit on their own, or they get performance-reviewed out". The new leader explicitly said that when doing rapid turnarounds, it was easier to bring in a full transplant of their former team than to figure out new patterns of leader-employee collaboration (Not unlike Twitter right now, I'd guess). While I was still a hiring manager for the role, the final approval for a candidate no longer lay with me and many of that new leader's former colleagues were hired. While they had a lot of existing patterns of working with the new leader, their skill sets were again a mismatch for the challenges our team was facing and ended up being a series of net-poor hires who received a lot of air cover from new leadership to not lose face.

That's not to say that you can't have effective recommendations for hiring. Some of the best candidates I've hired have been through personal recommendations or bringing along former team members. My experience has been that this pattern is best tempered by a careful hiring process. It's a great way to put someone into the funnel and ensure they get some visibility, but it's an awful way to accelerate someone through and out of the funnel and onto a team.
> However, I will say, it would not be the first time a charitable donation ended up going to lining pockets instead of doing the good it was intentioned for.

That has nothing to do with 'woke'ness though.

Wounded Warrior Project[1] or any other charity with poor ratings, can be candidates for this, including conservative and similar leaning groups. But your comment and examples at least imply, if not necessarily intentional, that this is a trait of 'woke causes', and not an issue across the entire spectrum.
