There were many reputable poker sites in the 2000s, Pokerstars being the biggest one, which still exists. It's far more profitable to run a fair site than a scam site. Keep in mind that strong poker players keep a database of the hands they played, and use data mining techniques to improve their own play and to asses the play of their competition.

The databases these poker players kept led them to discover the scandal mentioned below, see: https://upswingpoker.com/ultimate-bet-absolute-poker-scandal.

No such scandals were ever found at other big poker sites, despite that there were more, stronger players at those sites, which also allowed improved scrutiny of their random number generator and the play of everyone involved.
Adding more communication between the main chip and the wake-up chip would leave more room for privacy intrusion.
Switch mode power supplies don't waste that degree of energy when doing nothing. That's multiple watts, probably at least 5 judging by the temperature, just being pissed away at all times.
That's smart move imho. Usually engineers and other people that worked at Twitter went through a very strict hiring process. So hiring them is equal (usually) to hiring very skilled and smart people.
Not if you're invested in it. Not if you want to see blockchain technology used to replace the DTCC. Not if you think there are potentially extreme differences between crime (laws enforced by power) and justice (what is ethically right or wrong).

The people who invest in crypto are rent-seeking parasites hoping to extract value while incidentally providing liquidity to the Chinese miners blowing non trivial amounts of co2 in the air. The people who transact in crypto are actually building it and working towards the crypto dream of alternative currency.

It's important to understand that when a company sells a stock, they get money that they can then use to grow themselves. So there is generally some of the principal "retained" in a unit of stock, particularly because the unit of stock also creates a legal relationship with the company.

By definition all crypto starts from a miner, so when you buy a unit of crypto, you are transferring money directly to the miner. So the unit of crypto retains none of the principal investment.

That is an absolute terrifying property.

I am not quite sure what I think of ETH yet, since it's a little different, but BTC is straight bad for the environment.

There are also arguments to be made that alternative currencies not controlled by a centralized government are an important endeavor. If governments have a monopoly on management of currency, then it can be expected that they abuse monopoly power. The distance between policy and reality can be measured in suffering. The idea of a non centralized currency is that there is just the market and the reality of the market. Systemically enforced reality is an appealing property.

The government inflates a currency to (regressively) tax idle money while simultaneously de-valuing debt. That's not necessarily a good thing. It allows for unsustainable largess and directly creates boom and bust cycles. Here's some good fun from the last recession: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk

I'm curious how you feel when listening compared to talking.

I mean, is it more comfortable to concentrate with eye contact when you're listening to the other person? In other words when not trying to concentrate on forming a response to a question.

I appreciate this won't work in every situation. But I personally find it easier to make eye contact when I'm listening to a friend tell me about their weekend or something.
A mix of both for the Google Home devices. The Echo dots I got on a black friday for like ten bucks a piece.
The problem is that databases solve a real world problem: businesses and people need to store data, and the database is literally the solution for that.

Cryptocurrencies have so far not resulted in a compelling use case. All that we are seeing is a questionable solution looking to solve some as yet undiscovered problem.

The parent comment is a bit flippant, but I agree with the thought. The entire crypto industry is rapidly becoming a bizarre and convoluted rube goldberg machine that is completely impenetrable to anyone but the most ardent zealots. Even more, as an outsider it seems like everyone is in this echo chamber of back patting and "with just this one more buzzword bingo sounding feature, we'll have unlocked the true potential of crypto".
You know what? I think I might.

Honestly my banking situation + Signal is the biggest barriers to me switching. I pushed pretty hard to get friends and family to successfully switch off Messenger, LINE, and SMS for Signal (and now they're confused why the need a separate messaging app for SMS--thanks Moxie). I suppose I could write my own front-end wrapper around the bank, but they ain't paying me for that and would likely shut it down as insecure if they found out (even though there's no responsive design, they don't allow you to copy-paste or right-click, or use commas and other punctuation because the web system is built with TIS encoding I think, and they log you out with a meta refresh after 15 or 20 minutes of activity with no pop-up to save your work (in case you were trying to reformat another complaint message without puncuation in their messaging system), and I saw code checking for IE4 and Netscape Navigator 4).
Yes, a specific transaction needs to be chosen as the consensus transaction. But if there are multiple to choose from (e.g. in the case of an attempted double spend), the miner can choose either one.

The blockchain doesn’t guarantee, for example, that the transaction which appeared earlier will always be chosen (in practice, it’s likely the one with the highest transaction fee)
That would require more communication between the main chip and wake-up chip which could lead to privacy concerns.

"Detecting in code that the company is aiming at international expansion soon is probably not possible"

It is somewhat, if you also keep some general variables for this like "US_Only" that you have to keep track of, but yes, there are of course limitations with that approach. If you do it wrong, it gives just false security that blows up at the wrong time.
> No one controls Mastodon—or rather, everyone controls their own version of it. There are thousands of servers running the software, and each one chooses which servers it “federates,” or exchanges information with. Don’t like the users who belong to a specific server? Just block them.

> Unfortunately for some of the journalists who have joined the service, this mass-blocking (or “defederation”) approach is now being applied to them. A server that caters specifically to journalists was set up recently by Adam Davidson, creator of NPR’s Planet Money podcast. At last count, the server, called journa.host, had about thirteen hundred users, including some prominent journalists (and me). Earlier this week, a user of another network pointed out that about forty-five “instances” are blocking all content from members of journa.host.

> One journalist who is on Mastodon noted that there is also a cultural difference between the way people often behave on Twitter and expectations on Mastodon. “I’m seeing a clear signal that this is at least in part about norms and conduct,” he said, including “a legacy insistence on sharing your articles, live-posting breaking news, etc.” from journalists more used to Twitter. “That doesn’t fly here.” Despite attempts by Mastodon veterans to educate new users about these differences, he said, many journalists are “stomping around doing the same-old same-old.”

> # Goals of Berty

> Be resilient against mass surveillance by minimizing metadata leakage

While that's an admirable goal, it's also a really difficult-to-solve problem in the context of P2P, so simply mentioning a goal says nothing about the actual state of security of Berty or about whether it's achievable in the first place.

By default (i.e. without any countermeasures like onion routing), a p2p network will expose more metadata to the 3-letter agencies than a centralized app with Sealed Sender[0] like Signal. The people at GNUnet have spent more several man decades trying to solve this issue and last time I checked they were still not happy with their solution.

There are many places it would be OK to use it. Anywhere where you have extreme requirements on low latency, which I like to call ultra-low-latency, like a high-performance daemon. You can fork this emulator from another and execute the first instruction in less than 1 microsecond. In those environments the most important factors are: How many can you have? How many Linux system calls do you need? What is the cost of making an API call (trap out of the emulator)? The answer to these questions is that you can have hundreds of thousands of emulators at the same time, because forking just means loaning data from a main emulator, they make no Linux system calls, in fact they don't even use mmap at all. And, trapping out to handle a system call has the same time-cost as calling an opaque function.

This emulator will never have the same near-native speed as WebAssembly because WASM uses a linear arena for "heap". Memory checks can be as simple as one comparison, sometimes even none at all. However, that arena is allocated, extended and cleared using mmap-family of system calls, each of which may require page-table locking. WASM also uses JIT, which I personally think is large attack surface. If you search on HN you can find engineers of SpiderMonkey and v8 saying the JIT is just completely out of control in terms of complexity. This is the reason why I was experimenting with binary translation using C and GCC. I think it turned out OK, and the complexity ended up being fairly low. I actually beat native Go fibonacci using the code.

TLDR: This is my attempt at doing something different from others, and it turned out to be good at some obscure things, while being bad at others.

Other than that, it's just a hobby project. The main reason I am working on it still has been that it's my most fun project. It's just very cool to be able to sandbox complicated programs. On that note I was actually trying to run Doom 1 (shareware) in my emulator yesterday, and I think I was rendering too many frames per second in SDL2 because my Lenovo Z13 completely blacked out and when it came back online the network card didn't show up. Not because the emulator is so blazing fast, probably just because of lack of vsync. Had me scared for a while, but I discharged the machine and now the device is showing up again :S
>Heat is dissipated when electricity goes unused too (usually by dumping it in some load resistor)

This isn't true. Your light switches do not heat up to lightbulb temperature when the light is off. Heat is only dissipated when electricity is "used", more or less by definition. You seem to be describing a linear voltage regulator, which does have a load resistor and is wasteful if the step-down distance is large, but no modern electronic circuit would use such a thing in a power supply - it would use a switched-mode buck regulator instead.

> Each island competes as one.

I don't think that's technically correct. Anyone in NI has Irish citizenship (who wants it), so any NI athlete can represent Ireland.

"Team GB" is the official team of the whole of the UK though, including Northern Ireland.
The reasoning is that UK is still not actually correct (though more correct) because the Olympic committee also oversees places like the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and so on which are not technically part of the UK.
Then it seems they keep it because of tradition and because the country code is GBR.
Even if Valve finally get around to updating the client to 64-bit (it already is on macOS AFAIK), most old games are not going to be updated so insisting on keeping the 32-bit libraries around is the right thing to do. Keep in mind that the distro just needs to supply the base system (libc, OpenGL drivers, etc.) in 32-bit and Steam already comes with copies of everything else via the steam runtime.
Because everyone wants to arrive on time.
I don't think there really a right answer because I had a car accident while I was still learning and driving with the instructor.

While the accident wasn't my fault, since my car wasn't moving and I was rammed from the back, physical injuries still occurred, my instructor hurt him back, luckily I wasn't injured, but our car was no longer drivable. While the person that rammed me only said that they didn't see me and that such things happen.

From the point of view that your life is at probably greater risk, while learning to drive, I think the simulators could have a role in the learning process.

But I do 100% agree with you that simulation does not represent the experience of real life.

I don't know the specifics of japan railways, but generally due to the high amount of trains that run on a single line, being late or early even by a few seconds can cause other trains to be delayed even more. Timing in this case isn't "time between stopping stations", but "time between checkpoints, which may or may not be stations".

Exactly, only really useful for swimming. On many occasions I had to take it off my wrist in order to measure correctly (i.e. put it in a river).
I think Northern Ireland is unique in that regard, where every person holds (or at least, is entitled to) dual citizenship from birth.

>Between loot boxes in games, (e)sports gambling, crypto, online gambling sites, and an increasing number of unregulated gambling services as wel

Except online gambling pretty much all of these "technologies" are just "gambling with plausible deniability so that the people who like to look down their nose at the old lady playing slots can engage in it without feeling like a hypocrite.

It's kind like the gambling equivalent of how people who look down their nose at cheap school cafeteria type chicken patties that have plant based filler will happily buy a partially soy chicken patty that costs 5x as much if you market it correctly.

Seeing a lot of comments trying to dispute the claim that "individual developers do not pay for tools". The claim does invite these kinds of disputes since it's so absolutist, but I do believe there is some truth to it, at least if we take it as a generalization (rather than a literal statement).

Anyone who's either worked at a developer tooling company or tried to sell to developers themselves (I personally did both, having worked at CircleCI in the past and now building my own developer tooling product at https://reflame.app, Show HN launch thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33134059) can probably back the observation that we individual developers are notoriously reluctant to open our wallets, even for products that we love and use daily, despite our high disposable income relative to professionals in other markets.

Gonna share a few of my own hypotheses for some of the contributing factors as comments below for discussion.

Would be fun to see folks share their own! Especially if you've seen successful strategies for how someone might be able to overcome these hurdles to selling products to individual developers at scale (a topic near and dear to my heart these days)!
This sort of fundamentalism isn't what stimulates societies to make peace, which you ostensibly want. The way to peace is tolerance and getting Russia to see that too, not drawing lines in the sand and beating your chest. That leads to more war. It is easy to see examples of this, as the US has been doing this for as long as it's existed (at least, when it wasn't at war with itself - and even then).

I agree that cheating this achievement is silly and if you do that you might as well be hones with yourself and use Steam Achievement Manager instead of messing with the system time. But remember that Steam does push you "complete" games by showing achievement progress as a percentage and listing ones you don't have yet right on the game page in the client - and that (as well as the immersion-breaking achievement notifications) cannot be turned off.
As an addendum, as I don't want to add even more text to this reply itself, my point is that while gambling is clearly an irrational investment strategy as the odds are so bad compared to conventional forms of investment (some of which are at least guaranteed to not incur any losses beyond inflation), it's entirely understandable why it's appealing if the alternative is to be stuck on the lower end of the income range (or even dropping into welfare) forever.

While wealthy "whales" exist and the gambling industry likes to portray them all as Saudi oil barons with more money than sense so you don't feel bad about them sinking a few billion dollars into gambling as extravagance because they still come out as billionaires, the truth is the most reliable source of income are people (and for cultural reasons especially men) with a low income who see no career path to "striking it big" and think gambling will work for them because beating the literal odds feels more managable than doing so at the job market.

On my way to work I drive past four gambling halls, including two sports betting places. There's another sports betting machine at a nearby bodega. The cars parking in front of these places aren't fancy, they're average at best. The people coming in and out of these places or discreetly trying to smoke outside without being identified by people who might know them are mostly typical workers, more likely to be immigrants than not, often enthusiastically chatting about their dead-end side-hustles or acquaintances of acquaintances who have "struck it big" but often just end up "reinvesting" their gains and losing it all again.

The gambling halls and sports betting places don't provide entertainment. They provide empty promises. Especially with sports betting the gamblers understand it as a game of skill rather than chance and they think they just have to do good enough to become millionaires.
