Running your own wallet and such is simply beyond what most people are capable of. Hence they outsource it to an exchange.

But the main motivation for people buying into these coins is to speculate on them, having watched the bitcoin billionaires bloom.

And while I think there's a strong argument that "they should have known these crazy returns were too good to be true" I also think you have to take seriously just how hugely this stuff has been pushed in media, and by huge traditional financial player as well. When all the apparent authorities are saying "this is awesome join us" it's just inevitable that a broad swath of people will take that at face value.

Electricity is a funny comparison to pick. True, we didn’t ban electricity, but we did (effectively) ban certain “types” of particularly dangerous in-home electricity, like knob-and-tube. And like the cited passage, knob-and-tube can theoretically be perfectly safe (and even has some unique advantages!), but often isn’t safe in real-world scenarios.

Luckily, California has very stringent standards around heavy metals. There are lots of brands of collagen that don't require prop65 warnings on the bottle (and that are legally sold in California).

California's standards are stricter than industry and national standards, to the point where you're probably fine even if a product does require a prop65 warning
Hey HN,

I've been working on a city builder game over the last year and wanted to share my progress. I was a huge fan of Roller Coaster Tycoon and SimCity growing up as a kid (I still play RCT).

I left my job in November 2021 to start creating my own city builder game.

Major differences from the canon:
- Player will see the inside of buildings
- Developed a new path finding algorithm to path 100,000 vehicles at > 60FPS (see older youtube uploads)
- Demand will be granular (e.g. player will see specific store/service the citizens want/need
- You can design you own buildings (or use templates if you prefer!)

I hope to have a pre-alpha, but playable game available in the next three months. You can follow updates via www.old.reddit.com/r/Archapolis, or subscribe to my YouTube channel (fewer updates though).

Thanks!
- Chase
I wouldn't look at Ripue and expect them to use the strictly correct accounting term.

The full term is Assets Under Management so it's semi-understandable, but yes definitely not correct.
My quick comment left off some of the context that was in my head. The retrofit part of this was referring to the ban on gas stoves being about fumes/pollutants in the household air.

If you didn't have an externally venting vent hood, then retrofiting a vent hood would be more expensive that installing an induction top, I'd wager.
>IMO I think the idea is that if you can explain the crime then maybe the monster was created by society and thus can be redeemed by society.

I think that might be the thought process, but I do not think it is very accurate. Some damage simply cant be undone, especially early childhood trauma and developmental damage.

Similarly, blame isn't binary, both can be true. If we have dispensed with the concept of free will, then nothing is to blame, neither society or the individual. It simply is.

Once you reach that point you have to ask, what is it, independent of the assignment of blame.

Are they a monster? Did they brutally murder 3 people?
An iPad Air.

Yes, a Remarkable is nice, but something you can trivially send files to is nicer. The iPad lets you annotate PDFs with different apps and pick what works for your needs. It's not a one trick pony.

Notability is also an incredible note-taking app.
I use github.com/TekWizely/run for this use case. It's a robust way to build one-off command-line "APIs" for managing projects and documenting processes. I deploy it in production environments along with application-specific Runfiles for devops.

It makes life a lot easier when onboarding new folks, or for remembering how to do something months later.

I also use make, but limit it to just building software. All of my repos have a Runfile and a Makefile.
That's true of bad books. But bad blog posts are even worse: they are trying to get maximum SEO. Both good posts and books are useful. When I'm getting introduced to a subject, I like books. The slower pace allows me to gradually become more familiar with the ideas and concepts. Also, good authors will put a lot of effort in writing something that's pleasant to read and that still goes through editors so that the end result is pure joy. Blog posts can be good, but I don't think they ever get to the same level of quality of a good book.

However, blog posts often has more up to date information and they are, by necessity, more direct. They are good when you are closer to a master in the subject, I feel like. They are akin to research papers, but for engineers.

Last quarter Google and Meta ad revenue growth was roughly 2% and -4% respectively. If overall ad spend declines both of them will loose money.

2008/9 are not a good comparison because they were smaller companies and so much ad spend was moving from offline to online.
> It would be like if you released software using GPL2, then the GNU project released GPL3 which was much more restrictive, required you to pay rms for any software you release and tried to claim that anything licensed with GPL2 was now licensed with GPL3.

Yes, but that's not so hard to imagine, it's basically:

Imagine the GPL is issued by a for-profit company not an ideological nonprofit, and imagine the “X or any later versiom” clause is replaced by or “Any authorized version clause”, and imagine that the for-profit company decides that the use of the older versions are contrary to its existing interests?

Heck, there is a reason that even as it is written, and even with the FSF being a nonprofit with a stable ideology, some people, when licensing their own work, usd GPLvWhatever without the or-any-later version clause.

I didn't realize how big a deal the natural gas related pollution was. As in the post I found out my rental wasn't doing what it should. Turns out a hail storm had crushed the hat above the water heater exhaust. Turns out the resulting air quality in the apartment was so bad my wife's hand writing changed. We both don't remember much from that year, but have clear memories from the year before and after.

Luckily we moved out after 8 months and her handwriting returned and our memories got much better.

I strongly recommend monitoring your air quality, ideally with a CO alarm, since it's deadly quickly, and something like the airthings.com which monitors PM2.5, CO2, radon, and VOC.
3. Many of vim's keybindings accreted mnemonically in the first place. There's often a mnemonic explanation or back-explanation for every single keybind. Many people communicate with them ("just yank those four lines"), and they form a sort of vocabulary to the "language" of vim normal and visual modes.
Bay Area residents should really consider Sonic as their internet provider. I have gigabit speed, fiber direct to my unit, and a bill lower than Comcast's, with no data cap
I did the rim-to-rim hike in 2018, from the North Rim to the South. The Grand Canyon is set up to kill the overconfident. On a normal "mountain" hike, the hard part is at the beginning. If you have any problems you just turn around, and it becomes all downhill. Once you get to the top, all the hard stuff is done. If you screwed up your water/food intake, it doesn't matter too much.

At the Grand Canyon, the first half is the easy one. It lulls you into thinking you are doing great. It's nice and cool and downhill. Once you get to the bottom, the real work begins. It's 100 degrees with no shade, and any slight problem on the way down it going to be heavily magnified on the way up. If you didn't hydrate or eat on the way down because it felt so easy, you're in trouble once you hit the bottom.

Back to the original subject - there were signs telling people to look out for someone who had fallen off a boat tour in the Colorado River a few days prior. There was also a pair of hikers who had either taken a wrong turn, or had taken a scenic route near the bottom. All three died.
it's "Assets Under Management" and every bank has this number as a KPI, which directly affects their top+bottom line. So it is to "lose" but it's not the same.

Maybe the ranger was talking about all the workers at the park? Looking at the NPS site, the park seems to have 9 hotels most with restaurants. So I'd guess there's probably maybe 1000 seasonal service workers in the park. 1 death out of 1000 seems plausible.
That's my understanding as well. Three stage catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxide emissions through reduction, so it makes sense that a reducing flame (oxygen starved) would produce less nitrogen oxides than an oxidizing flame.

Sure, but it’s not measuring NO2, just things that sometimes correlate with the presence of NO2 in some environment. So, maybe it’s sometimes rightish in a general ball park sense, but often it won’t even be that as these correlations are necessarily based on lots of assumptions that often don’t hold. And this is all ignoring interdevice variability which is often very high on this consumer equipment if the tests are to be believed.
The paychecks are verified at the bank, probably tax as well. For the debts we have a government authority which is usually the last resort for creditors. This authority also takes care of getting your cash, selling belongings etc to pay off creditors.

This is all open data and can be verified with just a phone call to the tax office and debt authority. Some private aggregators exist for convenience but they're regulated in what they're allowed to share and for how long.

The private companies are also required to notify me anytime someone checks my score, the government agencies aren't.

> He does, and it forms the foundation of the book "How to be an Antiracist"

Did you read the book? The foundation of the book is right in the title: to fight racism it's not enough to be not racist, one must be antiracist. The book is about defining this term and explaining that premise. The book makes a lot of points, some good, some strained, but I don't believe "racial discrimination is necessary" is one of them. I'd challenge you to find some quotes that support your position. And no, the one you already quoted does not fit the bill.

> And by backing Kendi, you are backing a racist.

Point in fact I was defending a specific point you raised, not "backing" anybody.

> Why would we ever want the government to participate in racial discrimination though?

I wouldn't and you wouldn't, but some people have wanted this in a misguided way.

The baffling part of that response is that they could easily have conveyed the same basic message in a much less defensive way instead of making me glad I don't rely on Threema for my messaging security.

"Good research, and here's how we've addressed those issues and proactively enhanced our security even further" is a decent story to be able to tell about how you're constantly trying to make your customers safer. Being defensive and dismissive sends the exact opposite message...image is more important than security.

They are very different types of movies. T1 is an art horror that gambled a lot on Arnold who was just some pretty muscle at that time. T2 is made to be a blockbuster action flock no expenses spared. I think both are among the best movies of their genres.

High iq is defined as some standard deviations above average. a definition can’t be a shortage. if you define something to be 2 in a 100, than you don’t get to say 2 in a 100 is a shortage.
Cook isn't proving results about trig functions/identities; they're proving results about software. Software can never correctly implement trig functions; it must always approximate, and that is the reason it's hard to verify.

In contrast, arithmetic on rational numbers can be implemented exactly; at least, up to the memory limits of the machine (e.g. using pair of bignums for numerator/denominator)
That is also why I'm on the fence. I'm getting into wok cooking on top of that and am fairly skeptical of the induction experience.
I touched something with a live current in it once as a child. I was like "huh, that feels kinda weird" and then let go after a second. Only later did I realize how lucky I was that it wasn't lethal! It was in a 220v country even (not that I understand how much that actually affects the chances of causing harm, but still).
I assume the existing captcha services look at the Accept-Language header. That header could be read by the Lua script. Each puzzle set could be translated one time through google translate or perhaps a better translation site. It should probably be proof read by someone from each language used to ensure nothing translates out of context into something offensive. I think I've seen people do this on Github, having people proof read translations. In this case it probably should be a smaller group to reduce risk of leaking the puzzle mapping to the bot code authors.
is 1800 watts enough? I see products like this down to even $50 but running off of 120V i'm not really that interested. 1800 watts is not very much unless you're just cooking for yourself or one other.

Yes, Austin is quite humid relative to most of the US, though not quite as humid as along the gulf coast (i.e. Houston or New Orleans).

The ERV was easy to tap into our existing central air system (which is where the crappy ventilator was connected) but if you don't have central air then it's going to be challenging to ensure quality air throughout your home.
An interesting evolution in this space would be when hackers will find a way to "inject" malicious code in the images being installed on the hardware wallets, at the source. Getting access to production networks and/or private github/other version control internal systems, associated with these devices, may prove to be easier than attempting to brute-force keys.
The existence of the OGL v1.0a as given to this point allows you to take a big chunk of the D&D 5e rules and content (specifically this subset: https://www.5esrd.com/) and 3.5e (this subset): https://www.d20srd.org/index.htm and implement a character builder, database lookup, etc, roll engine etc. which you would need to make a virtual tabletop to compete with their upcoming product.

This is a problem for Wizards of the Coast as they view DnD as "heavily under-monetised" and so would like to change that with DnD 6E (aka OneD&D) to a model more similar to microtransaction laden video games. In particular, as part of OneD&D, they are building a whole new VTT on top of D&D Beyond which they acquired last year. This new VTT will have 3d models and animations which they want to sell to players, and D&D Beyond already allows selling pieces of rules for players to use in their character sheet seperately (see here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/tashas-cau...).

This compares to the current model of D&D where maybe the GM buys a couple of books and shares them to their table or people just look up the SRD for the rules and use a third party character builder or VTT. The problem is if you're comparing "1 person spends $60 and 4-5 people pay $0" to "6 people pay recurring microtransaction revenue at the level of popular video games", then the 3d models and fancy effects are highly unlikely to avoid people choosing one of the cheaper options using the open licensed material.

So #1 they'd like to kill the ability for third parties to interfere with their new monetisation models. As for benefit #2, if they get to kill Pathfinder which is the closest game to D&D in licensing shenanigans, then that also removes the easiest option for players to move to if they accomplish point #1 alone. Failing that, they'll settle for #2b, which is capturing the revenue of Paizo (the publisher of Pathfinder) for themselves so that even if players flee D&D to alternatives, Wizards aren't losing any money.

As a tertiary benefit, maybe they manage to bully some smaller content creators into agreeing to 1.1 with the terms that they get to sell it on OneD&D to pad out their content library and make OneD&D more appealing to end users.
I like the idea of trying to rethink the Make interface, but it just seems like most projects could actually benefit from build targets (conditional execution based on file existence/age), even if it's not the first thing you need to automate. I don't want to give that up because PHONY is confusing.
Huge fan of just; I add a Justfile to pretty muc hevery new repo I create regardless of language or stack.

My personal favorite feature is the ability to load environment variables from a `.env` file and set them for all commands run. Just have to add this to the top of your `Justfile` to make it happen:

Credit Bureaus exist to share your credit file with any paying credit provider who asks for it.

"Sophisticated" workers are staying out of semiconductors because it's an industrial job. As such, all semiconductor jobs suck relative to the same job anywhere else.

Any software jobs in semiconductors pay far less than software elsewhere. Hardware jobs require you to be on site continuously often with weird hours--generally in places that you probably don't want to be living at.

I can go on and on. But anybody I knew of who could leave semiconductors did so and never looked back.
