Tell HN: Crypto can be a weapon in geopolitical war between the West and China
China can never allow Crypto because it is decentralized and hence the information cannot be controlled. See [1] for a great example. That opens up a great opportunity for the West to leverage its strength when it comes to Freedom of Speech and free flow of information. Impose some basic KYC/AML checks at FIAT on-ramps and off-ramps, but otherwise just allow Crypto to flourish as a sector. More decentralized and open source, the better. To avoid scams, let's add some heavy regulations on the Crypto-pretenders, basically the ones who need to say "trust us" (Binance and FTX).

If a provably decentralized Crypto sector takes off, it would be fun to watch how an authoritarian regime like CCP copes with it.

> As you say, it only prioritizes pedestrians, which basically means that the 99% of the population that doesn't live less than 5 blocks from work is screwed.

I'm sorry that you don't walk or bike much but others do. Not everyone is a highly compensated, young knowledge worker. Some folks are students, who have more time than money. Some are active people who value active commutes. Some like to walk for recreation. Older folks may need to walk for their health.

Most of these improvements are created based on community surveys. Even Fremont which is a very auto-oriented suburb, and has even called out auto-orientation in its planning documents, has run surveys that shows that there's latent demand to bike and walk if infrastructure exists. The number one reason Fremont residents cites that they don't walk or ride bikes is that they feel the streets are unsafe to bike or walk in. That you prioritize your speed over the demands of others is of no matter since you aren't the only one paying for the infrastructure.
Björk isn’t the only artist who’s explored this space, but she did an album that’s highly interactive. Less interactive but more chaotic, the Flaming Lips did an album that famously was designed to play on four sound systems. There are other examples I’ve omitted because they’re either speculative or lightning rods for the wrong kind of conversation here, but there are definitely musical artists who’ve either explored this kind of interaction or embraced it as their audience explored it.

Estimation time. How many years and millions in budget does it take to write, secure, monitor and maintain a chat API that can be used by apps with hundreds of millions of users? I know the answer to this one :)

The Netflix you want was never sustainable. Shows were heavily subsidized by cable before. Once people started moving to streaming, prices followed. Look at how Netflix continues to raise prices even with less content they have to pay for from others. Because now they're actually paying for production of content, and that costs more than a $8/mo subscription can afford.

One of the most common mismatches between estimation and execution that I have encountered I phrase, "You never anticipate the unanticipated". During estimation people are generally optimistic and estimate assuming that they will not encounter any problems or issues along the way. That is rarely the case, and you can never assign an estimate of effort to them in advance since you don't know what those problems will be or how long they will take to resolve. You can assign a "buffer" of effort but this is just plucking numbers out of the air. I know that this is pretty obvious and basic stuff, but I'm amazed at how many people look at me like I'm crazy in planning meetings when I try to temper expectations when presented overly optimistic schedules.
Yes they do! In Australia on JJJ radio station I heard them play a radio edit of one of my favourite tracks this year from Odesza

This is the track.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iLKoiq6Su-8

I get it, it’s 6 min long and that’s a no no on the top pop radio station.

But I couldn’t believe how the radio edit basically kills the song and all of its movement.

I don’t listen to the radio intentionally (was in someone’s car) and have never heard a radio edit.

Was super disappointing when I cut the first half of the track.
Doctors here give out anti-inflammatory packs like candy, and I did a dive since it seemed crazy to me. If your body is increasing blood flow to the area there's got to be a reason for it?

All I could find though was statements that it doesn't serve a role/gets in the way of healing, something about maybe being mainly to prevent infection at a wound site?

What you said seems reasonable, but can you point to any sources? I'd like to confirm for myself.
No, you quite clearly didn't understand what I meant.

And it is a similar level and of service. What's happening? Certainly nothing that "the experts" claimed would.

Probably GP meant that nurture, not nature, is what creates bad people. That includes education, but also upbringing, household, etc.

Which I tend to agree with. Sociopaths due to genetic differences are, IMO, extremely rare as to be a non-factor. But childhood abuse and/or trauma is the biggest reason for people becoming violent, unsociable or generally evil.

SBF just seems like the stereotypical kid born in a very rich, connected family, that got every material need fulfilled, but lacked something crucial to develop a mature and critical understanding of how the world works. This is often seen in children of ultra millionaires, growing up completely divorced from reality and how other people live. I imagine people like him thinking "oh, fuck, so sorry I lost you a million dollars. My bad. You still have a few mil in stocks to tide you over until I get you your money back, right? Right? What do you mean your parents are also broke?"
I reject your reality and substitute my own. I'm immortal and I will make it so
They are more or less stating that the problem is overzealous responses from police, rather than police receiving a fake call for which a SWAT team would be an appropriate response.

Do police in other countries simply not have the capacity to deal with people in imminent danger? Their response to getting a call claiming that there's a crazy person in the house about to murder the caller is to knock politely and ask questions? Seems more like the police in other countries suck then.

I mean if this were such a big problem with our current system I feel like there would be a lot more financial issues occurring. Counterpoint to that being maybe there actually are already, see the 2008 collapse for instance which happened in part from mismanagement like your example.

More importantly though I don’t feel like blockchain prevents shoddiness and human error from causing problems, it just changes the methods available and how they manifest.

Badly written contracts, mistyped addresses, and misplaced keys have lost people tons of coins. And the lack of reversibility and centralization makes cleaning up mistakes significantly more difficult.

What happens to the buyer when the original seller writes a broken contract to transfer the recipient for the remaining balance that results in the payments being completely irretrievable?

Business insurance? That doesn’t sound like part of a minimum viable product.
The "nevermind brotli" seems overly dismissive. Browsers should add support for zstd, and I like zstd a lot, but I have found more cases than I would have expected where brotli compresses files better than zstd, even while using a ridiculously high compression level setting on zstd (for example, 19).

I can't remember encountering anything that compresses better with gzip than with brotli, so brotli is usually a better choice than gzip to reduce bandwidth, and brotli has been better than zstd on more than a few occasions for me as noted previously. Brotli is very worthwhile, at least for static assets, and choosing to offer only gzip compressed assets to browsers is almost always a waste of bandwidth.

If faster to compress is all you care about, then sure, brotli might not be the best choice.

Another thing which I am bad at is understanding the concept of a pivot.

The idea is to keep your momentum and change something a bit, not stop and start a new thing.

The stop and start a new thing happens when the old thing is not shiny and new and the old thing is taking effort but making zero or little money. So it gets scrapped.

The trick is to keep at it. For years.

And so I need a psychological / mental foundation for doing that.

Getting fit is very different: when you are fat you lose weight fast, when you are unfit you suddenly go from couch to 5k. But gains get smaller and smaller per effort after that.

With business it seems the gains are tiny or non existent until the “luck” you engineered kicked in. Like buying lottery tickets half price, but you still need to keep playing to win.
In other parts of the world the police get a call saying there is an armed individual threatening to hurt hostages and they send a single unarmed officer to knock on the door?

Sounds easy, but I think you'll find that in practice, it's not so easy to just toss around murder (or accessory to murder) charges because something annoys you. Even if it annoys you a lot. It's a slippery slope from that to making basically anything a "murder" charge. Not saying you can't pass some sort of law or create some sort of penalty, but murder-related charges aren't going to fly.
Not sure about that. Lots of voting systems don't vote for parties directly either. And I would say the two parties in the US are extremely strong, FPTP seems to reenforce that. It might also lead to the parties accepting some level of dissidence from some members -- better for a blue party to have a slightly red-ish congressman in a red state than to cede it to the other party. But I don't think that really weakens the parties because it goes both ways.

Minor parties and coalition governments in other countries function in somewhat the same way. It's not uncommon for a party to win but not gain absolute power in the legislative branch of government, and have to compromise with others to pass laws and spending bills.
But there's nothing to stop Binance using other addresses, or sending funds from their known wallet addresses to other addresses they control, or adding false entries to those crowd sourced lists.
This isn’t accidental and it’s not about being kind or inclusive. Just the opposite actually. It’s about being able to distinguish the haves from the have-nots. Kids who know and are hip to the latest round of preferred euphemisms are “the type of kids who go to Stanford” (a.k.a rich, educated parents, respectful of the academic world). In other words, they’re cultural signifiers.

This is not to say that there aren’t changes to language that have real effects, but most of these banned words are not intrinsically different from their replacements.
Not if your only checking 1 possibility rather than a few million.

It could take on the order of a few seconds per password in the worst case. Normally a few Milliseconds.

So 1,000,000 breached passwords * 100ms per check is 100,000 CPU seconds or about 30 CPU hours to check all passwords. The is easily paraliseable so imagine more like 10-20 minutes in parallel.

> What is often unappreciated is that bad metaphysics leads to bad ideas, in this case that life is meaningless. And why is materialism at fault? Because it denies telos. Without telos, life is, indeed and quite literally, meaningless. But why should that trouble us if we, the world, all of it, were as the materialists say it is? Needs don't exist in a materialist universe because need implies telos (a need is always for the sake of something), and we suffer when needs aren't met, so where is this suffering about there not being any meaning in the first place coming from? So clearly, telos is real and materialism is, for this and other reasons, wrong.

What on earth does this mean? How does the existence or nonexistence of "telos" - the idea of "purpose" being a real thing that exists in the world - affect the fact that if I don't eat I die and if I don't talk to my friends for a long time I get sad?
Sharing of simple, specific details. The kind of thing you would have asked a teammate on either side or behind you. You also can't casually overhear these discussions and learn via osmosis.

Perhaps the only way to hinder bot production of text would be for all forums/social networks to impose hard to perform captchas that bots have a lower probability of solving in a certain time constraint.

The bots could integrate captcha as a service (e.g. https://2captcha.com/) but this wouldn't necessarily scale since a human has to solve the captcha (often multiple back to back), and it would still be a vast improvement over bots freely generating text.

There is massive interest in the business markets, and their size dwarfs gaming. The best selling gaming platform in history was playstation 2 with ~150M sold. Zoom has 300M users daily. Other business platforms add hundreds of millions more users. The business hardware for conference rooms stuff is massivley bigger than games. And all the players in this hardware, from Logitech, to Bose, are all working towards this too. Gaming is a small market compared to what companies are trying to do with this space.

Disrupting the having to fly far for a meeting when one could get the same experience is such a bigger, likely easier to satisfy, market, makes gaming become an afterthought.

Don't let your fear prevent you from asking questions.

Other engineers will be very happy to spend literal hours with you, including breaking down the overall architecture and figure out ways to contribute. Anything to help you get less lost in the sauce.

Maybe carve out additional time to understand the project. The problems it solves may well be far beyond anything you've encountered. Thus the motivation for the project and the technical challenges it takes on en route to solving the overall challenge may all be opaque to you. Maybe toy projects and demos can help you build intuition for what's happening.

Pay attention to the feelings of shame. You've done nothing wrong and this is a common situation. There are pros and cons to it. If you still hate it in a year you can take your new shiny resume and go find another job.

I would say that anything using skinner's box style methods to encourage people to repeat an action, and when there is money involved in that process at all, for example if you can buy the results of the loot boxes or you can buy the loot boxes themselves, it's gambling.

Epic allowed you to purchase loot boxes and get a random chance to get the thing you wanted as a result.

If it's something you can't pay for and it's intended to be a part of the way the game works, it's not intended to push you into spending money or anything like that, that's fine. Loot boxes are fun at the end of the day. That's not what this was though, this was gambling.

nice cherry picked rebuttal. you missed a big point that there are tons of variations of how socialism can work. i define socialism as a way to organize a business where the workers control the business. that isn't capitalism and yes, you're right, it's closer to a co-op. i define capitalism where an owner (or owners) control the business and they employee workers who have little or no control over the business. if we can't agree on those definitions then there's really no point in nitpicking each other's arguments.

Again the problem here is not the duplicate bag, it is the act of SELLING or DISTRIBUTING the bag
