There is no real difference between eating food to which refined sugar has been added and eating sweet fruits. The sugar is not bound to anything and it is released in the fruit juice when the fruit is chewed, so it is not digested more slowly than when eating a sweetened cake with the same proportion of sugar (but the cakes are frequently made much sweeter than the fresh fruits).

The great danger that has been created by the availability of cheap refined sugar and similar sweeteners, like HFCS, is that it has become extremely easy to create food that has an unnaturally high concentration of sugar or fructose and that it has become extremely easy to eat an excessive amount of sugar per day.

Most cultivated fruits contain around 10% sugar, while a few are sweeter than that, with up to around 16% sugar, like grapes, fresh figs or fresh dates.

When eating only fresh fruits or defrozen fruits, it is unlikely to eat too much sugar, but it is still possible.

It is recommended that the daily intake of sugar should not exceed around 50 g (i.e. around 25 g fructose).

That corresponds to around 300 g of grapes, or around 500 g of apples or pears or blueberries (or most other fruits), so eating amounts less or equal with these every day should be safe.

On the other hand, a single chocolate might contain over 60 g of sugar. Most industrially-made food, including juices or yogurts or breakfast cereals, contains excessive amounts of sugar, so many people eat daily 100 to 200 g of sugar, or even more, without being aware of this.

When eating dried fruits or honey, it is also possible to eat too much sugar without a lot of effort, e.g. around 80 g of most dried fruits is enough to provide the maximum recommended daily intake of sugar.

For my first Birthday when we started dating, my boyfriend sent me to a spa for a night. I loved that he just booked for one and didn't offer to come, or asked if I wanted him to: I appreciated the no-pressure alone time.

Another time, he got me a really great coffee grinder. He took his time doing research on them and picked the best possible option within his budget - which I think ended up being just the best option period, regardless of budget. I tend to be a little particular about equipment like that and really appreciate that he went to the effort of researching different types of grinders and didn't just pick a random one off the shelf. I would've appreciated the gesture regardless, but the knowledge that he took the effort to make an informed choice just made the gift that much more impressive (and timely, since this turned out to be just days before I self-isolated for a year... was great to have a proper grinder at home).
I wonder if they think the hammer is going to fall either way? If so, it makes sense they’ll take while the takings good.
Inflation devalues cash, not wealth. Positive inflation encourages people to use their cash to invest which the government wants because it increases economic activity.
> Every dollar not spent on servicing the debt can be spent on something else instead.

Point is, when it comes to households, you can meaningfully say "Every dollar not spent on $x can be spent on something else instead". When it comes to a government that controls the supply of dollars, that statement is not directly meaningful. There is no "every dollar" - the money supply is expanded or contracted when it's necessary and beneficial to do so. The misconception hasn't moved on since grandparent post.

Can a government get this choice wrong? Sure. Does a government count dollars and allocate them like a household does? No.

Is this spending "depleting the bank account" - not usually, it's literally circulating money into private hands. It depends on other factors like who gets it, do they pay taxes and what other public good is done thereby.
No, there is an asymmetry you are missing. The "well the dollar has an army behind it" is only extremely narrowly relevant to anything, in that the US can force dollar settlement with the military. This is only necessary because people either don't trust the issuer or don't want to pay seigniorage fees to the US. Neither of these is relevant for btc.

With fiat money, you can legally retrieve anonymous cash from an ATM if you choose so, without suspicion. Or likewise, you can reveal your identity for a transaction when appropriate. This should be the same with crypto.

Let's see it this way: surveillance is needed and those who seek privacy may indeed conceal illegal activities. But I think we can agree not everyone is a criminal and if I have a right to privacy with cash, I should have the same right with cryptocurrencies.
Humans will generally either provide a confidence level in their answers, or if they’re consistently wrong, you’ll learn to disregard them.

If a computer is right every time you’ve asked a question, then gives you the wrong answer in an emergency like a grease fire, it’s hard to have a defense against that.

If you were asking your best friend, you’d have some sense of how accurate they tend to be, and they’d probably say something like “if I remember correctly” or “I think” so you’ll have a warning that they could easily be wrong.
The article responds to this:

> A common response to this is that "real" gamers will preload keys so that they don't have to pay the key travel cost, but if you go around with a high speed camera and look at how people actually use their keyboards, the fraction of keypresses that are significantly preloaded is basically zero even when you look at gamers. It's possible you'd see something different if you look at high-level competitive gamers, but even then, just for example, people who use a standard wasd or esdf layout will typically not preload a key when going from back to forward. Also, the idea that it's fine that keys have a bunch of useless travel because you can pre-depress the key before really pressing the key is just absurd. That's like saying latency on modern computers is fine because some people build gaming boxes that, when run with unusually well optimzed software, get 50ms response time. Normal, non-hardcore-gaming users simply aren't going to do this. Since that's the vast majority of the market, even if all "serious" gamers did this, that would stll be a round error.

It seems like there are a few key parts that could be removed that would make those ASML machines utterly useless even if Chinese engineers spent time reverse engineering the rest. Surely there is no need to remove or destroy the whole thing as is suggested in other comments.

"In addition, the documentary looks into the history of cat domestication, and how in the middle ages the church tried to get rid of cats due to their association with witches"

only difference is, now it's "toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever" instead of witches.

Do you have numbers on the prevalence of those ills? As compared to well-known rat-borne illness?
I mean, you have to look at the whole picture. Obesity is the big one to solve, but you have to kill the sugar issue if you want to do that.

The average American (to say nothing of the rest of the world) is absolutely abysmal at keeping count of their sugar intake.
FWIW it looks like they're planning to kill it off for release builds: https://github.com/microsoft/STL/issues/277

In my experience with them, the performance hit is far more substantial that a few percent, except in situations where the compiler can elide the checks altogether. For example, simply iterating over std::vector with _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 is twice as slow if you work with iterators explicitly instead of writing it as a range-for.

And I'm not sure if it can be substantially better, given that C++ as designed simply needs to do more checks to ensure validity - to catch cases like comparing iterators belonging to different containers, or iterators getting invalidated when containers get resized or when the corresponding element is deleted outright. This all can't be done with simple ranges or slices, which is why VC checked iterators maintain a reference to the parent container.
For me the biggest features of rust are:

- great standard library, especially all the iter methods. having 'obscure' stuff like `try_for_each` just makes me so happy as a dev

- unit tests built into the lang

- tooling is great

- docs are top notch

The memory safety aspect is... sometimes helpful, sometimes irritating. I prefer zig solution (BYO allocator, special one for testing that reports errors) over rusts, which simplifies a lot of stuff and lets you make cyclical data structures without a lot of hoop jumping.

> So what is the point of crypto again other than giving Stripe (and similar centralized providers) a needless cut?

Access to BUSD, USDC, (shudder) USDT, DAI, CUSD for folks across the globe is a good enough reason [0] (right now, the Stripe on-ramp is US-only, but that needn't be the case)? Stripe did bootstrap an alt global payments network in Stellar.org, but that hasn't worked as expected, it'd seem? Stripe is wise to participate in the stable-coin business, which is a way better bet.

MobileCoin, which is embed in every Signal installation, also has Stellar-like features but it isn't mainstream, just yet. Meta's Diem / Libre had similar grandoise visions for an alt payments network given its very global, commerce-hungry Instagram and WhatsApp userbases, but for some reason, they never got the legal side of things over the line.

I suppose we should really talk about changes in state rather than activation/deactivation as it's the same problem. But the basic point is that detecting an edge on an "armed" switch is all that's necessary to fire the related event and confirm the state change definitively.

The debouncing logic is about how we determine when to re-arm the switch for the next transition - i.e. how to reject the "false" reversions to the prior state. So it shouldn't have any impact on the "physical action to key-down event" latency in systems with a reasonable steady state. I guess for cases where "pound on the same key again and again as quickly as possible" are in scope it does?
Apple didn’t do this to protect consumers, they did it because they weren’t getting their cut.

This whole thing seems so technical and hardware focused. Scan rates, debounce algorithms, USB packets, etc. and then it comes out halfway through the blog post that he's actually largely measuring how long it takes his finger to depress the key!

He says that 16-32 ms of the latency ("4-8 frames") is attributed to his finger speed. In other words, he starts measuring from physical contact with the key rather than switch contact.

If you're interested in actual hardware latency measurements: https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/tests/latency

You'll see that the histogram of the keyboards they've tested suggests a bi-model latency distribution. About half tested show essentially no latency (0-3ms) and the other half show 10-15ms latency. There are outliers too, of course, but note that the finger speed measurements dominate these numbers.

It seems this post is really about key travel, but in disguise.

Evertas Insurance | US-based REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.evertas.com/ | https://www.evertas.com/careers/

Evertas is the world's first cryptoasset insurance company. We're a Bermuda carrier, Lloyd's of London cover-holder, and have been around for almost 5 years. We write real policies which actually cover significant risk for clients, quantify premiums based on the effectiveness of deployed controls, and do professional services for clients to put better controls in place (or helping other insurance companies with underwriting and claims adjustments).

The best pitch for the company is: Join us to prevent the next SBF/FTX/3AC/Luna/Celsius... meltdown, by providing tools for the industry to police itself, provide meaningful risk transference, ensure best practices are documented and commercially required, and avoid uninformed and unproductive government regulatory retaliation instead of meaningful public/private beneficial governance -- and make a bunch of money for everyone while doing so.

(I'm Chief Security Officer; have been involved in crypto since the 1990s (blinded tokens), and I love insurance as a powerful tool to improve security across the industry. The rest of the team are also cryptocurrency and security OGs, with industry and institutional experience.)

Among other roles, we're looking to hire 1-2 Security Engineers. Primarily this is for underwriting and professional services in the cryptocurrency space, as well as research into risks in the space (and mitigations). A great thing about insurance is it's not "call in the middle of the night over a holiday with a crisis", but solving things prospectively for clients, but still having significant and meaningful impact.

We're open to security experts moving into cryptocurrency, or cryptocurrency experts moving into security, but obviously having interest in both is key (and expertise in both would be amazing). We highly value professionalism, integrity, and a problem-solving nature. Would be very interested in people who currently or recently worked at downsizing, technically excellent security teams in the crypto industry or in security-critical adjacent industries.

Please apply through the form at https://www.evertas.com/careers/ but I'm happy to answer questions to ryan@evertas.com as well.
To elaborate on the sibling comment, my understanding of Wise's mechanism from having used it is something along the lines of:

- they establish local accounts everywhere

- a transfer is you send money locally to their account, and then they send money from another local account to your destination

- they take some (small) mark-up over the actual rates

- they aggregate the many smallish transactions to exchange with optimal rates and fees for themselves, and probably do a bunch of stuff around mitigating risk of having too much float in a particular currency

It's a model that impressed me when I used it, relatively simple conceptually but solved a big pain point. Not sure that crypto adds much other than offloading risk (of exchange rate fluctuations) onto the person doing the transfer - I quite like that wise essentially bears that risk
Show HN: Generate Yourself – Consumerizing Stable Diffusion
Not all of us have the technological expertise or time to set up Stable Diffusion and train our own model.

So we made it very easy to do so and start generating great pictures.

Challenges: Scaling GPUs. Very hard to get large quotas from GPU providers.

Other apps that are similar: We've tried competitor apps. A few gave very poor results (did not look like me at all), didn't allow you to generate your own photos with custom prompts, or were ridiculously overpriced.

So we made ours cheap, ensured it gives accurate depictions, and can use any SFW prompts.

Would love your feedback!
But they can't even take here. Obviously coin base can't give them 30% revenue even if they were willing to. That would be like asking for a 30% cut for deposits from the bank apps. This just seems like spite for the new rules.
