> the network transaction volume is supposedly in the neighborhood with Visa ( something I find hard to believe.)

I think the PR line is that PoS ETH can “scale to 100,000 TPS”, but it’s currently pushing 15-30 [1]. Visa does much more, though various figures are reported from 1,750 to 24,000. So, grains of salt and all that.

Thanks. It drives me mad when people post Spotify links. Wish YouTube was the default choice for sharing music. I guess Spotify has enough market share that people don’t even think about using something else.

That's not how it works, taxpayers enjoy fifth amendment protections against self incrimination.

Your argument is like saying that jailing fraudsters is anti-freedom-of-speech.
Considering that I spent 20 years of my life working as a journalist at news organizations large and small, I hope you'll allow that I might just know a little more about how journalism works than you do, mate.
That doesn't bother me, even with a severe almond allergy I've rolled that dice many a time and it's been fine. The problem is "may contain tree nuts." Like, okay, does it or doesn't it?

What's even worse is the ingredient "spices." Which spices? Even smelling mustard can send me to the ER, but basil is one of my favorite foods.

How these kinds of not-even-half measures are legal is beyond me.

> did you consider backporting the new features to the older Meson in Debian stable?

No, since modifying an additional project would run counter to the goal of minimizing the scope of the backport's changes. (Especially important when said project is a dependency of other packages, and could potentially break other things on the distro. This was Debian Stable, after all.)
> How did we end up in a place where you need to make food in pharma-grade cleanliness facilities unless you want to be sued into bankruptcy.

Wtf is this. The problem is the opposite.

How did we end up in a place where one simple food 'may contain' one million ingriedients where its being made in a giant factory, not a kitchen.

My mother has a lethal allergy to shrimp and crab. Do you have shrimp and crab in your kitchen or not? its a basic question. If we go to a coffe shop the anawer is no. We go to a british pub, answer is no. In fact for 90% pf establishments the answer is no, we have no shrimp on the menu at all.

If you handle every ingredient under the sun in one giant factory, that's your fault. I you put weired additives like shrimp-derives food colorings, thats again your fault. If you put gluten into chocolate bars, even thought it's not suppose to be there, and you call something bread even though it cannot be legally called bread in france and you loose a lawsuit because your chicken nuggets contain less than 50% chicken, thats again on you.
I'm surprised with the massive number of auto-close-bots on GH (combined with the kernel's development culture) that they don't just auto-close them

Been using mailinabox for over a year. My emails to the big email providers make it through. Last one that didn't make it through was when I sent an email to a friend's amd.com address.
Yeah but technically the brand has moved on from being an acronym. Now it is just Arm or "arm". There is no ARM.
Unlikely it's race related, you could have asked them why though.

It's one of the most culturally diverse cities on earth, that's not to say we don't have racists...we obviously do but social etiquette dictates that you keep that shit to yourself...doubly so if in the service industry.

As an aside not London related but culturally significant - during WWII American GIs needed to be warned that black soldiers would be treated equal to white, when US commanders demanded a segregated bar in the town of Bamber Bridge, all three pubs in the town reportedly posted "Black Troops Only" signs.

Please give my city another chance.
But price is said due to supply and demand not the cost of providing the service. So why do you think taxi fares will go down?
It’s yet another needless and error-prone abstraction that only works if it’s able to read human written code in the first place. I’d say it’s a pretty uninteresting, possibly dangerous, and ultimately distracting abstraction. My experience with ChatGPT was that it couldn’t ever tell me something that was actually correct, and I was asking it straightforward questions.
Yes, the grinding process is surprisingly easy. My son and I met John when he was showing one of his telescopes in San Francisco one evening in the '80s, and he gave us one of his instruction leaflets and an eight inch glass from a porthole, which we ground into a mirror for our own Dobsonian telescope. He was a generous and kind, humble man; at that time he was living in an ashram in SF.
I think his choices are not quite aligning with a hero and a martyr he made himself out to be.

The Mustangs are an invasive species in the west and their population growth is devastating the local flora. "60 Minutes" ran an episode about it recently.

It has partway, they've paid something like 7 billion in tax penalties for medallion, which wipes out a lot of the gains from the past few years.
I think you're missing part of the equation which I addressed. The whole reason IT departments implement security measures is because prior to their implementations they would have services consistently cut off. But even today you can see people attempting to access the networks. This is definitely measurable. We can see attempts to access specific ports, scanners, DDOS attempts, and a lot more. I'm not sure why you think this can't be measured. Measuring these attempted attacks is a major part of defense and even a bigger part of defense research. We don't have the same parallel in TSA but we do have some parallels in other areas of physical security. So honestly, I don't know what you're going on about because these easily demonstrable facts. Anyone who has run a home server has experienced this.
> it still a federal offense even though it is legal at the state level?

Yes, though there is a federal policy against most enforcement activity where use is allowed by state law. But, yes, its still illegal, and those making lots of money in (or even as major investors in firms in) the industry are violating the drug kingpin statute and, were the non-enforcement policy to be removed, coild suddenly find themselves facing 20+ year, or life, sentences in federal prison.

This has a significant effect on who is in the industry and how they conduct business.

That’s also not how the Senate works. Senators are beholden to their respective constituencies, not the party of which they’re a member. A conservative Democrat from West Virginia has more job security when he runs against his party sometimes.

Blaming the party rather than individual Senators is not a helpful way of looking at the problem.
What we’re talking about is erasing the granularity between “sometimes contains” and “does contain”. “Sometimes” doesn’t necessarily tell you anything about dosage or frequency. It just means sometimes.
The sentiment expressed by this quote is why First Amendment auditors do such a valuable public service.

There would be no need for the First Amendment's protection of speech if the things that we said never offended anyone, never made anyone uncomfortable, never was targeted for suppression. There would be no need for its protection of the press if the press were always welcome to report on matters of public interest. There would be no need for its protection of religion if no one ever experienced interference with their religious beliefs or practices. There would be no need for its protection of the right of assembly if protestors never experienced attempts to quash their activities.

The First Amendment exists precisely because there is speech that others would prefer we not say, there are religious activities that others would prefer we not practice, and there are matters of public interest that others would prefer journalists not report on.
Considering the term originated with them, it's fair to say they get to dictate what it means.
Oh I agree with this.
On those I can see that one has a larger corner radius than the other but that's it.
Most of the stranger's conversations I ever overheard in the US were about rather common topics, like sports, pop culture, children & schools, etc. What if someone doesn't know much or care about such things, but still wants the "well-documented benefits, such as increased happiness, better health, and stronger sense of belonging"?

I'm new to the US and come from a different culture where the common topics have little in common with what you'd talk to strangers in the US. I'd love to talk about less common topics, like science, tech, AI, philosophy — basically what is being discussed here in HN, but in the real life. Is there a hope for me to become less lonely?
> I wonder if one could employ a legal strategy to 'taint' as many judges as possible by retaining spouses etc. to get a favorable judge.

In practice you'd probably only want to taint the worst ones. In this case the judge he was assigned was supposedly one of the most lenient ones in the district, so this definitely isn't a good thing for him at all.

If this was the norm in India then the food service business would collapse because there are far far more Indians than foreigners even in most or all of the touristy areas. There’s likely a more plausible explanation for you and your guy friends being denied (e.g. visiting a restaurant in a touristy area that prefers foreigners to take advantage of the diff in purchasing power by charging more or expecting more in tips).

> We Indians are an amusing bunch!

There’s some irony in ending your comment with a slightly racist remark. Imagine if one said, “Them <insert another race> are an amusing bunch!” A bit racist isn’t it?

I read a quote on HN that stuck with me and articulates why some Indians will say something self-hating (even when it’s off-topic, as you explicitly acknowledged in the first sentence of your comment):

“For many Indians, self-flagellation is a sign of their intellectual arrival.”

Perhaps an artifact of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_mentality
I’m not sure I see how judges recusing themselves could be grounds for appeal.

Not recusing oneself though…
Interesting.

This jibes with stories my father told me about how he and his brothers found Indian burial sites and other Indian artifacts in upstate New York when he was a kid/teen. He must have found thousands of arrowheads over the years (tilled farmland brought them to the surface). I found a few walking the fields with him as a kid myself.

Anyhow he said the burial site was a major find and they knew it, and so they contacted the museum of Rochester or something, which came in much took ownership of everything, including all credit for the discovery, then hid the artifacts away, etc. He didn't have anything nice to say about his dealings with them, the experience majorly disappointed him, as he believed this stuff was meant for the public consumption but in the end was just hidden away.
This is a lost battle. People don't even remember what the word ISA means. It is an external interface. Whatever happens inside the professor has nothing to do with interfaces. You can run x86 code on Arm Mac's, does that mean they are a x86 processor that is internally implemented with RISC? If yes then the word has lost it's meaning. If no then you would have to explain why these are distinct cases.
I only use Google as a secondary account now, though most of my family continues to use it (under a vanity domain, grandfathered in after lo these many years). I still keep my Google 2FA active, though.

I use pobox.com to forward my primary domain. Right now I have mail forwarded to their "mailstore," which is essentially a lite version of Fastmail.com (Fastmail owns POBox, or the other way around, don't remember), but I can forward to multiple mailboxes. It costs $50 a year, just like Fastmail, but I think it's a little more flexible, at least for my needs.
The domain in this case provides that context.
I wonder why Meta didn't fork Second Life to use for their 3D world rather than re-invent the wheel and in the end build a bad product.
I think it was less the strain relief and more the rubber they used. It would go gummy and fall apart after a few years. I absolutely remember around 2013 everyones MacBook charger would fail like this.

But they have changed the design a lot since then so I no longer think this is an issue. The brick is now usb c so you can swap the cable without needing an expensive brick, and the MagSafe cables they now include are braided instead of rubber.

> Women wait around ten years in America for a diagnosis of endometriosis, a painful but historically little studied gynaecological condition. [..] Might such delays and biases reflect skews in academic research?

That's a nice anecdote. Let's see what happens when we expand the sample size:

Men die earlier but women’s health gets four times more funding (in Australia) - https://web.archive.org/web/20140104031157/http://www.news.c...
Maybe different in other countries, but in Australia your mortgage payments go up as interest rates rise. So over the life time of the loan you will likely pay more/the same in real terms. And this ignores the lack of wage growth.
At this point, everyone knows about bloom filters simply because it’s the thing to write about any time someone asks “lesser known data structures/algorithms?” - it’s hard to find a list that doesn’t feature them!

Still some good entries in that list. I would add skip lists, not because they’re structurally anything special but because they open your mind to the possibly entirely-new-to-the-reader world of probabilistic data structures.

As someone that’s been around the block, something I’ve learned to be less surprised by is how often simply adding an element of randomness to a difficult problem can sometimes give you results comparable to a 10- or 100-times more complicated solution, with the advantage of being more maintainable, making better use of the i$, and avoiding a lot of work. (Eg compare a cache dropping randomly selected items to LFU or LRU caches.)
I’ve interacted with a few businesses in the UK already, and way more in Asia/Middle East. Forgot to add there’s also WhatsApp Pay which, while limited to only India and Brazil, is still a sizable population. It’s monetized through the fixed fee charged to the business that you pay.
I'm wary of claims that neurotypicals are somehow better at it. Seems more likely that nobody is as good as most everyone assumes they are. That is, self assessment is a known hard problem. Assessment of others would have many of the same traps.
Yes, I have a physical dedicated server that is colocated that handles all of my email (along with websites, FTP and a few other services), and a second server in my home that acts as a secondary email server with a nicer UI that gathers up all the email from the main server and lets me read it locally either on laptop, desktop or phone. I have a static IP on my main server, and I've had that same IP for going on 20 years, so the reputation is of the IP solid.
I'm not sure if you are capable of understanding the point I'm making, but I'm going to try again (hopefully for the last time):

Please read this sentence again in my comment above:
> I sometimes schedule the entire team to meet with the client, who is a domain expert, so that we can hash out some fine decisions that he has unique insight into.

Without getting into specifics, the team simply does not have all the domain knowledge they need to successfully complete the project. I believe you understand what domain knowledge means. It does not mean I think the team is incompetent. No, but the client has some specific domain knowledge (not exactly related to software engineering) that should be incorporated into the project.

Now, according to the team structure, I bridge the gap between the client's domain knowledge and the team's core skills. And this is what shows that I trust the team: I schedule meetings where we all meet with the client, not just me, so that we can figure out some of the decisions together.

If my use of the word "allowing" is what is throwing you off, then let me phrase it this way: how do you expect the team to deliver a successful project by working without interacting with me and the client to acquire the domain knowledge that is needed? If you want the client and I to leave the team alone, how do you expect the team to even know what the client actually wants? The project is a large project; we are refining the specs as we go along. These are not rhetorical questions. I await your answers.

The US in particular is occupied by many competing powers. No one group has sweeping control of anything; most everyone is held in a deathgrip by interests to either side of their desired positions.

From city councils to the oval office, a lot of leaders have a short list of who's approval they need and can't get to do anything at all.

Federalism invites this type of incongruity. The silver lining is that it's a game that keeps a certain type of person preoccupied so as not to pursue worse ways of exploiting the rest of us.

Generally speaking, the ones hit hardest by inflation are the ones unable to afford such loans to begin with.
This is kind of why metaphors are counter productive when the topic is simple enough to discuss correctly. The article states that the rate of inflation is decreasing with the annualized rate falling from greater than 11 to 2.5. It is meaningful to discuss the annual rate but nonsensical to make further decisions based on how much inflation occurred 6 months ago.
A Home Visit from the Ombudsman for Wales
It was pointed out to the Ombudsman that Gwynedd council have not complied with other recommendations from past investigations and that if they had been called to account previously then further investigations would not have been needed. The Ombudsman did not respond to this point.
Smith wasn't an anarchist and didn't believe in a completely unregulated market, but rather that a free market involves careful regulation to ensure a fair playing ground. Yeah, there is also a lot about the problems of rent seeking and I agree there, but my point is that the free market he was referring to isn't the "free market" many people today associate with the term. We have similar issues to his concept of the invisible hand (which was only mentioned once in each book).
> A former corporate CEO has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for selling food that made people sick. Two other executives face jail time as well. These jail terms are by far the harshest sentences the U.S. authorities have handed down in connection with an outbreak of foodborne illness.
