Tell HN: I can't login to Gmail due to phone cannot be used for verification
Anyone has any idea how to recover it other than.... find other number? I've used my father's and mother's number. However, it seems all number have been flagged as "cannot be used for verification". Any other ways to login?
You're right, it is hard to explain. That's why I believe long term it's going to be more like AWS - it will be financial plumbing that firms build upon and most end users won't even know they're using it.

I think a lot of HN doesn't get it because they don't work in finance, but everyone I've talked to who works in finance (or has to deal with their archaic systems) is really excited about the possibilities.

Then again, a lot of people didn't understand the internet or it's jargon in the 90's, so we'll see how it plays out.
There is something of a campaign going on now and it is not 'cool' to compliment some billionaires. Apart from this, there are valid real reasons to dislike to former Amazon's CEO.

That said, reading his early interviews it hard not be impressed by the foresight and insight. I personally do think he got some things wrong ("if you can't measure it, you can't manage it" mantra being one of them ) or at least got others to misunderstand it, but it is hard to deny the results he helped manifest.

It is the same impression I have of Thiel.

> Correct and the breakup of the UK will likely lead to a United Ireland

Unless things go really pear-shaped in the UK, this is unlikely within the next twenty years.
A friend of mine is an economist that did a similar project (sans blockchain) in grad school. He set up a program to label fish with information about where it was caught, who caught it, when, how it was processed etc. Some of it on the package including a smiling photo of the boat owner, more details on the web behind a QR code/URL. He worked with a local chain roughly equivalent to Whole foods and had a cold case full of product like this in several of their stores.

People seemed to like it when asked, but when given the choice to pay a premium for it vs the unlabeled fish, the majority declined. And this is at a store that caters to the whole hippies with money crowd.

I think the people hawking this idea for consumers utterly fail to take into account that most consumers simply do not care about this. A non trivial portion actually do NOT want to know this information, similar to how some people are fine eating chicken but can't touch a raw one to cook it.
It's a skill you can train. Just that most corporations that got shifted to WFH coz of pandemic didn't bother to train or revisit their processes. That's partly (the other part is managers clinging to their jobs) why some yell for coming back to office, the required work for the shift was not done and now performance suffers.
That's what I referring to, yeah. Looking it up it's double this performance package ($199 / month), and it might be even more weasely (a claim of "Full Self-Driving" being to real full self-driving as the modern "hoverboard" is to a real hoverboard).

This is one of my pet peeves here. We put labels on neurodivergent people and I am not at all convinced these labels actually correspond to anything except their brain works differently than normal (if there is a normal, even). Problem is, these days if you question medical science (which you absolutely should) then you get grouped together with antivaxxers and similar kooks.

I've had three main use cases:

1. Running an HTTP server in a directory, so people can connect to my hotspot and get a listing of the files. (I've done this twice, for sharing movies.) This is easy enough to do with `python -m http.server 12345`, and this lets you get a file on nearly any single device with a webbrowser in it.

2. SSHing into my various servers, or getting a file off my home machine that I forgot that I need.

3. Python is a general-purpose calculator for me, so I primarily use Termux instead of a calculator app.
The issue here is that making money by holding onto assets you can’t fundamentally make money by holding is hard.

There is a huge incentive to do things that people don’t actually want you doing, so someone can actually make money.

Accounting is just a word for tracking money.

It can be opaque, or obvious, detailed, or vague. And it can also be fake.

Knowing which is which, and if it is appropriate or not, is almost always specific to the circumstances and the goals of whoever is doing it, and that’s pretty fundamental.

GAAP is a generally acceptable list of practices for public entities, but there are still a ton of judgement calls going on there, and have to be, for what is a pretty ‘standard’ way to operate pretty standard businesses.

There is no automated way to do it that won’t allow manipulation.

Attempts at automating it are more likely to provide something like bank account statements, than a balance sheet. Which is something, but it’s not enough. That’s what is generally referred to as book keeping (aka transactions are recorded, but not necessarily characterized or organized correctly), but may even fall short of that.
There exists a simple solution - don't buy a wife which would want you to buy a Mercedes for her. You'll never hear this brand name except in their obnoxious jealousy inducing ads.
They could introduce a similar type that is prohibited (checked by the compiler) from occurring in declarations with external linkage (plus some wording regarding casting of data across translation units being undefined behavior for that type). Effectively prohibit it from being used in ABIs. It would then still be useful for intermediate calculations and in macros.

The norms are different in different locations. Where I live (Sweden), I'd say pretty much everybody sets a comfortable temperature and keeps it at that.

OTOH, our houses are generally heavily insulated, so while heating a house is expensive, keeping it heated is relatively cheap. I'm always amazed at the lack of insulation when I travel abroad. I never freeze as much as when I leave Scandinavia (no joke).

Any slight sudden noise also tends to wake me up, last year I bought some Bose Sleepbuds 2 and they have been fantastic, they play a range of sounds such as white noise while your sleep and it really blocks out everything else.

I've used them to sleep like a baby in a tent at a music festival when all my campmates woke up tired and complaining from lack of sleep.

I just signed into Tumblr for the first time in several years....it looks totally different!

I'm not sure when these changes happened but the logged-in page looks much more like Twitter now. Back in 2015 or so when I used it semi-regularly; it was much more confusing then compared to FB/Twitter. You could reblog and like, but not comment. It wasn't clear at all whether commenting was even allowed, even though I'd frequently see posts with a chain of comments.

It looks much more straightforward now.
For decades FHE has been “not quite ready for primetime” and I find it quite exciting that we’re now reaching the stage where it’s staring to be commercially viable. I truly hope that it doesn’t somehow get lumped in with the technical toxic waste site that is “blockchain” along the way.
Trans bottom surgery has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any surgery. You're entitled to your opinion, but I'll rely on the opinions of people actually living with the surgical results. This [1] lists a 94-100% satisfaction rate, which to me feels a fair bit higher than one might normally expect from victims of "mutilation".

Currency is the only one of those that actually works within the corrupt legal system because it doesn't require any action on the part of the corrupt system. You can use it directly with other parties.

That's unclear. From a game theory perspective you don't want to be the government that stifles your country by restricting access to a financial system everyone else adopts, so I think many are waiting to see how that plays out.
FWIW TheLounge [1] and Convos [2] can front-end an IRC server giving it much of the look of a modern client and also chat persistence when using TheLounge in private mode. The trade-off in my opinion is scalability. With a bog standard IRCD I can handle tens of thousands of clients per node. Adding web persistent increases memory usage.

There's a pretty big gap between "a leading industrial espionage power" and "the most advanced nation on the planet in terms of industrial espionage."

Northern Ireland is not a colony according to the common and widely understood meaning of the word colony (or in the opinion of the UN). If you make up your own definition based on "local armies" (whatever relevance or meaning that has, not sure)... then yes you can personally call anything anything you like... but it has no meaning to the rest of us and doesn't really make any sense.

> British police and military were killing Irish people in the north around 30 years ago.

Technically most of the residents of NI were British citizens at the time this was happening.

Additionally, it wasn't just the British engaging in violence, there were at least three sides (nationalist/loyalist/government).

> The north is still under British occupation

I'm pretty sure that I could find a lot of people (almost certainly a majority) of NI residents who'd disagree with this statement.

> When that ends and the island is re-unified,

I hope (as someone from the Republic) that this happens, but we'll need a bunch of planning and time to make sure this doesn't turn out like Brexit (a close result leading to lots of problems over the following few years).
So this is endemic? I noticed a lot of Uber drivers drove Model 3s when I flew into Miami a few months back and saw the same thing in Berkeley a few weeks ago. Are the Model 3 owners having trouble paying that high car note?

This just reinforces my view that the only value crypto provides is evading government financial regulations. Is it actually good that anybody can spin up a new financial firm in a few months with little oversight or regulation?

>Aave is used for being able to borrow against your crypto assets, so if you need a loan you don't have to sell, this isn't a service any bank offers.

Every bank offers this service, unless you're just talking about getting a loan with crypto as collateral.
Wristwatches were invented because constantly pulling it out from a pocket is cumbersome and needs a free hand. And at least I don't carry my phone everywhere. If you are fine with a smartphone then that's great, but for me the only true wristwatch replacement would be normal-looking smartglasses that actually aren't too smart and have a long battery life. Or in other words, there is no replacement.
>> One major change in the language is that two’s complement is now mandatory as a representation for signed types.

This pleases me greatly. Two's complement won decades ago. This also means they could define integer overflow as 2's complement rollover, which is almost universal but is still considered undefined behavior.
I made a custom wood and leather wrist rest for exactly this. It’s fairly tall and has a soft curve at the corner opposite the keyboard. The heel of my hand rests on the curve. Watchband touches nothing. I modeled it after the keyb and wrist rest on an X220 and its predecessors. Going on at least 15 pain-free years post blowout.
> So basically, you guys are re-inventing what tradfi had years ago, just with worthless(?) tokens instead of debt backed assets.

Crypto has debt backed primitives as well. You’ve linked one. AAVE is a lending protocol. If you don’t like AAVE, maybe you’re looking for DAI.

> but no way to cash out to fiat.

This is just a result of US KYC regulation. Like it or not, this isn’t a choice made by crypto.

> What's the value proposition here?

The value prop is, as the gp said, trustless composability. Crypto (post eth) is to money as the internet is to a mainframe. A kid in a garage can build a financial primitive on top of a “blue chip” and the “blue chip” builder doesn’t have to worry (vis a vis bugs, which have been a big problem but a lot of progress has been made in that area).

I’m not claiming crypto(I wish there was a word for crypto minus btc) has achieved its end state, but the goal and road map seem very clear. Composable, trust-less finance is a strong use case.

Aside — you really have to decide whether the price is important in crypto or not. Opponents often use phrases like “worthless tokens” and then claim they don’t care ab the price.
A driving simulator will set you back around $150K. There are several vendors in the space.
This will include a "cab" with steering wheel, brakes, etc. and a projected display system. Some go 200+ degrees FOV.

And the "feel" on the steering wheel is also there.
What’s the use case for this? I’m not seeing it.

I find it more insulting that people spend 100k+ in a computer on wheels than the fact it doesn't have 1990 supercar performances
People buy cars with that much power as a "flex," not because they are regularly hooning around in them. A $100k+ vehicle with a Mercedes badge is enough of a flex already, and flexing towards a different crowd regardless, so the additional power is not necessary.

COM as far as I used it was always this incredibly opaque thing that no one understood. The only good thing is that you could generate C# code in visual studio for it, but the generated stuff is barely understandable and versioning with COM is another big issue.

I don't think this historical matter is going to be relevant. The leftover bits will want to claim continuity with the preceding state, and they will want to use the UK name. But even if there's no consideration giving to branding, thanks to the Welsh Senedd there's now a distinct category of Welsh law, different from English law. So while the union of England and Wales might have been brought about by the extinguishment of the Welsh state, such as it may be, the union is being continued through the regeneration of some of the aspects of statehood.
I’m not sure how you figure.

In the scenario you’re describing (a walled off preserve), said folks could decide to join ‘the space age’ by walking to the next valley if they wanted to.

And that is someone Stone Age folks did regularly, walk to other valleys.

In the real Stone Age, that means they see another group of Stone Age folks. In the space age scenario, that means they get exposure to some space age stuff.

So they’d be making the choice to stay, by staying, if they don’t do that.

No one is building a fence to keep them in, just like no one was working to keep ‘the man of the hole’ in. If someone does make a fenced off area around them that is impossible to escape, then sure that could be a problem. It’s a prison then.

But that’s not what anyone is proposing I can see.

They were just working to keep others from going in and screwing with him.

He knew there were others out there, he just didn’t want to be bothered - and they were trying to help him do that.
> NI was explicitly created as a hack to an all-Ireland independence referendum at the start of 20th century. It was a landslide victory for a one-Ireland state and the UK created this never-seen-before entity as a response.

The UK government didn't have a lot of choice, the Ulster Protestants would almost certainly have fought a civil war if the full island was granted domininion status.

The boundary commission was problematic, but the real issue post partition was the removal of PR by the NI government. I think that if the ballot box hadn't essentially been stacked against Catholics we might not have seen the Troubles.
