Well, as I explained, savings is a demand for Bitcoin that isn't the same thing as "hopes and dreams of getting rich someday". Just having an asset that doesn't reliably evaporate like the peso or the bolivar is a pretty big win already, even if you aren't going to get rich.

Another important use case that I didn't mention is leaving the country to live somewhere better. Suppose you've saved up money in, to use examples I know something about, Argentina or Venezuela, and you've managed to do it in a form that doesn't evaporate due to inflation: US$100 bills, emeralds, gold, real estate. Now you want to move to Spain, Uruguay, or Mexico. Getting those savings safely out of the country with you is going to be very challenging indeed; Argentine customs has dogs that are trained to sniff out dollar bills, for example. (And of course in the case of real estate it's impossible.)

Again, maybe this is an example of "buying illegal shit": you aren't supposed to be able to escape these places with your life savings, because otherwise how can kleptocracy keep klepting? But obviously (at least to me) being able to take your savings with you makes the world a better place, even if it's illegal.

But it's definitely not "stripping wealth from the global poor and draining it back to the wealthy ones". The "heavily regulated", "government insured", "government managed" world banking system is what does that.

Maybe fleeing the country like this sounds like an extremely marginal, unimportant use case to you, but if so, that's probably because you don't know anybody from Cuba, Ecuador, or Venezuela. Not only are significant percentages of those countries' populations already living abroad, but even larger percentages of the people living there today depend on family members living abroad.

I don't know anything about Bangladesh. I've never been there and I don't know anyone from there very well. Maybe the situation is different there and Bangladeshi people only invest in Bitcoin because they think they'll get rich. What are your experiences there?
> Creating yet another language ensure that this will get nowhere, too bad.

What has happened before, consistently, is that research or proof of concept- style languages pave the way for bigger players to take the ideas and incorporate them into existing or future mainstream languages.
If that's how unsophisticated these VC operations are then I think we'll see a lot of them lose their shirts in the coming macroeconomic environment. Which will consequently make future funding rounds all the more difficult.
At least Holmes had the courtesy to target Henry Kissinger, the DeVos family, and the Murdochs for her swindle.
What's wrong with US broadband, in my case, is that it simply doesn't exist. Some people lament having a choice of one carrier, but I have a choice of zero carriers who provide broadband service (as currently defined by the FCC).

I live in a county of approximately one million people and the neighborhood adjacent to mine, including a house less than 200 feet away, has cable internet with 300 Mbps service. I've been paying Universal Service Fund fees for years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Service_Fund) but I had a faster DSL connection 20 years ago.

I signed away rights to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (the legal name in this context for Harvard). That was not a problem as it was clear to me that this would not be a money-maker for anyone. The business-side was handled by Eisenbrauns, a small publisher. When the owner retired, the business sold to Penn State. Later, the Harvard Semitic Museum (the part of Harvard in charge of the series) sold the rights to Brill. I am guessing that Harvard Semitic Museum saw this as a chance to get a little bit of money out of their asset, and Brill saw this as a cow to milk to death, the way the price for legacy software is raised to sky-high levels as the product dies. And indeed, I am guessing that Brill is not making much -- no one did. https://www.sspnet.org/community/news/brill-announces-collab...

You can simply expose an HTTP endpoint that receives the data. You wouldn't want to expose the internode protocol endpoint to the internet.

That said, it wouldn't be as bad as it sounds. Unison is a purely functional language, so if you don't explicitly provide the ability to e.g. do arbitrary I/O, then other nodes will not be able to send you code that does I/O. It will not type-check.
> By that I don't mean only syntax of popular languages. I mean the art of solving problems using programming languages.

Out of curiosity, what school's don't include this in their CS degree programs? Not as in: "I can major in CS here and stick to almost exclusively theory and math courses." But as in: "I can major in CS here and don't even have the option of taking project based courses and courses that are mostly dependent on writing programs to demonstrate understanding?"

Has something changed that caused CS programs to drop most of their courses in the past 20+ years? Or did I get lucky with the schools I went to?

> There are schools where a typical undergrad Algorithms class has no coding assignments.

Again, 20+ years ago, but the first algorithms class (and data structures) had us demonstrating our knowledge via programs, or writing programs to benchmark different things, and so on. That was for first years, not advanced students just the preliminaries, coding from day one (or near it). Even the 3xxx courses that didn't require programming still encouraged it.

> Ofcourse there are schools where there are courses with extensive programming requirements. I am not talking about those. Those are exceptions.

I cannot believe that the random CS programs in GA were exceptions to some rule. So again, where is this happening and why the regression if this is actually happening en masse?
>> Clearly they knew they had US customers and were attempting to get them.

And they did, except they got overseas-registered hedge fund subsidiaries, where the managers were US residents (probably living in NY/CT/FL.)

We arent providing SIPC/FDIC backstopping to the customers, since it aint our jurisdiction. We arent bailing them out, so far.
guidelines state to assume good faith, I asked if they understood the actual point.

What's happened here is my assumption of good faith with a question got turned into a warning by the mod because they, themselves, did not assume good faith on my part.

So the question becomes, are those guidelines taken seriously by the moderators of this site or not?

If they are, then maybe admit to your error and lets all just move on.

HN is part of YCombinator which does business in Europe (see: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?regions=Europe).

Companies doing business in Europe must follow European law, just like European companies doing business in the USA need to follow American law.

The solution is quite obvious: don't do business with Europe and the GDPR doesn't apply. Don't do business with the USA (including companies like Amazon and Google) and American law doesn't apply. The EU won't try to fine Walmart and Target, the USA probably won't try to fine Système U.

(Unless it's about oil, government influence, or copyright infringement, of course, then the USA will force the issue; probably not relevant for most companies)

This isn't a cultural thing. Human evolution is ugly. Evolution's filter function is death. If you can't feed yourself, nature will use you for food.

You are coming from a place of extreme privilege lamenting that people get stressed about losing a job. It's not a minor inconvenience if you're working on something you think is important. Button pushers have little to mourn. People working on big projects have to establish new goals for themselves & align themselves with an entirely new professional network. These are not minor things.

This website is pretty much unusable for me on Firefox (Ubuntu 22.04). I'm also running a GPU-wise, fairly heavy game in the background currently, which I'm sure is attempting to draw frames even though it has been minimized. Likely competes for the same resource this website is trying to use, but gets priority and the website just barely, if it all, responds to my scrolling.

In fact, the experience was so viscerally annoying, it incited me to write a comment about it on HN.

The banking, finance, and corporate accounting world and their practices would shock most devs to the core. Most people just assume that certain controls are being enacted with precision. Things like: customer account reconciliation, bank account reconciliation, etc.

Most of the time people just aggregate values and never inspect the detail. They record those aggregates in the GL and move on. I have never seen granular recon. That is why embezzlement is only discovered by accident years later.
With regard to Purism the company:

Folks should be wary about ordering from Purism until/unless Purism shows clear signs in the future that it will give timely refunds to customers who do not want to continue waiting for the Librem 5 device they ordered years ago. (For the purposes of this post, let's assign the value of timely to be no more than 30 business days from the original request for a refund.)

Worse, Purism continually sets new deadlines which they continue to fail to meet.

As it stands, there are lots of reports of Purism telling the customer that they may only receive a refund when Purism claims that particular device is ready to ship to that customer. This is against their original terms of service and AFAICT isn't legal in the U.S.

Many users have contacted their state's attorney general to complain about this business practice. I'm confident I can simply link to the purism subreddit and readers here will instantly find relevant reports about the difficulty of receiving a refund:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/

To be clear-- my complaint isn't about Purism not being able to ship Librem 5 on time. My complaint is about their unethical practice of withholding refunds from customers who clearly and reasonably request one after patiently waiting to receive their devices.

In fact, a number of the complaints on that subreddit were posted only after the customer claimed they had been emailing Purism for over a year to obtain a refund for the device they ordered but never received.

Edit: clarification with the word "timely" added, a definition of "timely" provided, and a few other stray clarifications to be maximally generous.

Really great explanation, but one thing is missing that plagues every other explanation of Fourier analysis: signals are not infinite.

The time window you use for analysis matters just as much as the number of frequency bins, but everyone always ignores the time window for some reason.

Absolutely. The mandate of the government is granted by the people. Congress acts with respect to specific businesses all the time. Especially to their benefit.

Ordered today actually. I've been torn between getting a 14" vs 16", since I am also replacing an old xps 15. But the extended battery life of the 14" is what finally convinced me.

The Starlab Starfighter also looks great, but I need a replacement laptop this year preferably.
I did that for a while too, but on my phone. It was a big hassle as apps and services do not handle this gracefully at all. Sometimes you get a failure for something to connect, sometimes it just stops working silently. Rarely I got a clear message about the untrusted cert.
The GDPR doesn't allow people to start lawsuits. The law is upheld by government agencies, which usually give small companies a chance to fall in line before starting a lawsuit. They're also mostly focused on European businesses and most likely won't act until they receive enough complaints.

When it comes to lawyer fees, governments seem to have quite a pool of money when it comes to enforcing the law.
Their website provides good enough information I believe:

- They only mention production in Germany. Their "Why Tuxedo" page[1] does seem to imply that they are building most of it themselves.

- They mention TuxedoOS for the same reason System76 mentions Pop_OS!: because they made it. I would expect it to work with any one of the OS included in their WebFAI[2] pretty well[3], which by the way I believe is actually sent with the laptop.

- Their FAQ might shed some light here[4] depending on where you live. It's pretty much the same with any brand I know; maybe you have had a different experience?

Does this change if it’s not SWE work? The example in my anecdote is from R&D work that involves a lot of wrenching on hardware.
The note in note thing took some getting used to in the beginning. I didn't like it either.

I don't just type notes, though. I do LOTS of handwriting as well, and LOTS of diagramming. In that context the floating text/note boxes are really, really useful.
I'll have a single note with a diagram in it and several explanations floating around.
Or I'll have a vertically scrolling note alternating between text, pictures, and diagrams.
The way I use OneNote has made the note in a note thing really useful.

But every now and then when I'm just typing some quick info out it gets in my way. I just have all the context of it being a useful feature to make me tolerate it.

All of these companies seem to rely on pandemic lockdown - demand for remote job influx. As pandemic is over, surge of the demand evaporated and now they need to downsize again.

What's ironic I remember articles actually predicting that at the end of the pandemic people will not go back to offices and would rather quit than work inside the office again.

Regulations are usually backwards looking. So at least we never get Enron/GlobalCrossing/etc again.

Then another waves of crises happen, and we get new regulations.

So Fannie/Freddie happened in 2004-2007 and we got brightline guidance and application of FAS91 and EITF-9920.

So then AIG/Lehman/Bear happened in 2007/2008 and we got Dodd Frank. Again backwards looking but we end up in a better place.

The regulation stacks upon regulation, but I think this is good.
Good news: the surface syntax of Unison is totally arbitrary and can in practice be swapped out. There's currently only one (Haskell-like) syntax, but in future I imagine there will be others. So you can imagine on https://share.unison-lang.org a little dropdown that lets you select what syntax you want to see the code in.

Hi Shin - KX employee here (the creators of q/kdb+). We launched a new product to take our time-series tech to new markets and usecases with high performance analytic needs. Over the past 2-3 years we've listened closely to the community and have made huge improvements to make kdb+ easier to develop with using options like ANSI-SQL/Python/Stream Processing DSL/microservices/Open API etc. The banks are adopting all of the new kit quickly and leverage the cloud native capabilities (like kubernetes operators/object storage) to help scale and take their deployments to new heights without deep technical kdb+ expertise. Thought it was worthwhile calling out the adoption and product strategy here at KX.. lots more to come!

> Housing speculators and NIMBYs are going to kill capitalism.

No arguments with the sentiment, but keep in mind that South Korea is roughly the size of Indiana (the 12th-smallest state) and over two-thirds of what land they have is mountainous, populated by over 50 million people. It's hard not to have relatively expensive housing in that country, just based on the sheer lack of availability of land.

Of course, it doesn't help that half the country lives in the Seoul Capital Area.

I had the 9 Cell battery (compared to the 3 cell) with the additional backpack chassis battery that clipped on below.

Just by itself the 9 cell was good for close to 10 hours.

Extended battery was: 64.38Wh and the extended 9 cell was 94Wh.

About a decade down the road, I still have about 50% battery life left in it at max charge and it still holds its own on an all day outing
