My daily driver is an iPhone 7 from seven years ago that still does absolutely everything I need a smartphone to do. I suspect the hardware will long outlive security updates, sadly. Like my O.G. iPad 1 which I still use. It's a shame that smartphone manufacturers' software support timelines produce so much working e-waste. Even Apple, who have among the best support lifetimes: they're still too short, and the hardware long outlasts the software. Sad.
>Using the same valuation system, what would be the valuation of Earth?

It's literally been covered in CFTC and NYAG settlements. It's not wild speculation, it's not rumors. It's all here. [1, 2]

> Currently Bitfinex will exchange 1 USDT for 1 USD and they hold a substantial about of USDT, they also buy up USDT when it falls below 1 USD. I'm sure Bitfinex is happy to see reports about Tether's demise spread, because it's free money for them.

No, that's what they say they do. We have no evidence. The last people who stuck up for them in this regard, SBF and Trabucco, are in some pretty hot water. It could be Tether/Bitfinex, but it could be anyone else with an interest in perpetuating the ecosystem. Some exchanges mortally locked in perhaps?

> If at some point it's not possible to redeem 1 USDT for 1 USD, then Tether will collapse like the other stable coins and that's really all there is to it.

It may not be possible right now. Their terms of service say they can deny basically any redemption at their sole discretion. Anyone denied would not be incentivized to declare the emperor naked.

Thing is, the front itself will likely be in a very different place depending on whether those initial strikes were successful or not
The production of hydrogen is already 70-80% efficient. The conversion back to electricity seems like a bigger bottleneck for vehicles at ~40-60%.

Wikipedia claims that fuel cells can hit 85% efficiency by using cogeneration to repurpose the waste heat, so to me it would seem that hydrogen is more interesting at grid scale.
I'm a person that isn't active on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. so I don't see the crazy fringe stuff (usually). For what it's worth, it doesn't seem that the mainstream left (or Democrats, or whatever the term I'm looking for is) really supports or opposes religion in general. They seem to support the person in a "Muslim people are not bad or dangerous" way but don't address the religion. I do see the mainstream right (again, don't know the correct term) support Christianity and oppose both Muslims and Islam itself.

I'm not trying to give an opinion, just stating what I see as a person who doesn't interact with the online political sphere at all.
Yes I did get the wrong impression. So glad we could clear that up!

Same here in Kentucky. As a self-employed carpenter, these last 2 years have been brutal. There's work, but somehow the big exploitative companies just slurp up all the work. Most of my jobs this year have been friends and family who felt sorry for me and had bits of work done here and there. Seems like the only option anymore is to work for a capitalist or die.

Is Euclid just about geometry? I have not read it, but others have written it is a good introduction to mathematical proofs. A few comments on HN over the years said Hammack's "Book Of Proof" or Velleman's "How To Prove It" are more thorough, but are intended for 3rd/4th year math undergrad, and Euclid is easier to get through.

My last math course was stats and business calc about 30 years ago.
Yes, according to conventional wisdom. Also, that change is thought to be accelerated by playing. It's thought that a brand new instrument needs to be "played in" for at least a few months, in order to discover its long term potential.

Note that I'm being deliberately non-committal here, because some of this stuff could be bunk or overrated. I don't think my new bass has changed in 10 years. But my ears and my playing have changed.

On the other hand, a modern violin is considerably louder than an un-modified Strad, of which there are only a few, and they tend to be museum pieces. If you want the sound of a Baroque fiddle, there are cheaper ways to lay your hands on one. ;-)

Lehrer is talking about "new math" from 60 years ago. (it consisted of talking about set theory, union and intersection, also mentioning commutative and distributive princicples, i.e. mentioning some things that are not super necessary for arithmetic but which you will encounter later if you pursue mathematics further. In this way you would hopefully be more effective in contributing to the arms and space races and defeating communism.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math

Was a little disappointed to see so little from the east in terms of recommended books. The Bhagavad Gita and ZhuangXi made the list, but nothing in terms of other important works by the Buddha, or Yoga or the epics like the Mahabharata.

If someone were to read some of the Upanishadic works, it would be really interesting to see their influence on the works of Plotinus, etc.
For the Bell violin restoration I'd also be interested whether anyone would be able to detect a difference before and after. It shouldn't be too hard to teach a robot to bow a few notes and record whether it changed after he was done fixing it.

Would only work well for open strings, though, once the player puts the finger on the board all sorts of instantaneous feedback happens...

> I switched to Android, because Apple got rid of sim cards in newest iPhones.

I was worried about the lack of sim card on the new iPhone due to travel but looking around I found many online eSIM providers. Easier than finding a local provider and you can get regional/global ones too.

May I ask what your use case is? Is it local phone numbers where country regulations prevent eSIM voice? That's the only downside I found but not relevant to my needs.

That's a good point, they seem unusualy confident in their assertion:

We show that the Great Resignation among older workers can be fully explained by increases in housing wealth. MSAs with stronger house price growth tend to have lower participation rates, but only for home owners around retirement age -- a 65 year old home owner's unconditional participation rate of 44.8% falls to 43.9% if he experiences a 10% excess house price growth. A counterfactual shows that if housing returns in 2021 would have been equal to 2019 returns, there would have been no decline in the labor force participation of older Americans.
You don't actually even have to know the squares of half integers, though.

Like, if you're looking for sqrt(30) and you're trying to decide 'should I use 5 or 6 as my first estimate?'... you don't actually care, just pick 5.5. You're looking for a decent estimate, and in that situation you can tell 5.5 is going to be a better one than either 5 or 6, without actually knowing or caring what 5.5^2 actually is.

Likewise if you're going for sqrt(33) you could take a reasonable guess that 5.75 will be a better starting estimate than either 5.5 or 6, just by gauging roughly where 33 sits on the logarithmic scale between 25 and 36.

The point of Heron's method, though, is that no matter your starting estimate, it is guaranteed to be even closer to the right answer. So even if your mental logarithmic estimate is really well attuned and you think 'yeah, 33 looks like about 5.74 squared', Heron can refine that to 5.7446.

There's a recent Veritasium video, where they were trying to demonstrate tungsten "rods from gods" space weapons by dropping heavy weights from a helicopter.

When they asked an expert about the aiming issue, the response was basically laughter and "I'm not going to solve the precision guided munitions problem for you because of legal reasons, and you're not going to be able to figure it out."

I expect precision guided rocketry is going to be a lot harder than a chunk of steel barely high enough to reach terminal velocity.
Wow, the footnote about dentists surprised me because I just found out about this company [0] (and apparently it’s one of many[1]) that just stamps out pre-built dentist offices all over the US with all the equipment and staff included.

All they need is the dentist. It’s honestly super creepy how generic they all are and how many middlemen end up involved in your dental care.

It's not necessarily up to the individual. It's the centralized exchange's decision to offer it.

I could be wrong, but I think the exchange needs to work with a US-based bank to process USDC redemptions/withdrawals. I know this was the case for Binance recently.

Any stablecoin is just a company that holds the denominated value in some form, and provides the ability to get that value back. Circle manages USDC. They have to bee more willing to work with partners abroad. Is that because of KYC/AML laws? Not sure.

Tether has been willing to work outside the US before Circle, and they did it back when crypto was demonized by all banks, more-so than today.

Also, I mentioned in another comment how Tether is used for settlement on derivatives. I don't know of that happening with USDC anywhere.

Probably why I am not a game dev but when the author mentioned and discarded the iterative solution in favor of the closed form solution. I immediately thought how cool it would would be to have some sort of deep involved simulation that would in the end create the same effect.

One reason a missile might spiral like that is in order to have a simplified seeker head and control assembly, you only seed to seek and control on one axis and you spin the whole missile to scan over two dimensions. the missile will always overshoot a little but correct once it rotates around the other way. while this makes for a far simpler seeker and control setup it wastes a lot of energy so you need a bigger engine for the equivalent range if you had a two dimensional seeker/control missile.

Another reason is to make the anti-missile solution much harder. It still wastes a lot of energy.
> The number of adults with autism diagnoses is soaring

But is this more autism, or just more diagnoses, because autism (particularly, when it doesn't have extreme negative impacts on academics) has been underdiagnosed in the past.

The idea of a “care crisis” emerging as current kids grow up rests on it being more autism, not less underdiagnosis.

It's fast.

But not sure if the song I input and the songs I get back are similar. Going to try them out further.

What things are they supposed to be similar at? beats? melody?
I think it means who is charged. Top is the customer and bottom is the supplier.

If you charge the "bottom" then that might be passed up to the "top" or not. It depends what the "middle" does. The middle might absorb the cost or pass it up to the end customer.
The OG Kermit was a beatnick frog poet! [1]

Henson's Kermit had a kind of realism, he was kind but not cotton candy airhead.

He showed contempt, anger, hints of cynicism and sarcasm sometimes even hints of what we would call 'violence' in todays parlance - but profoundly humanist.

Every GenXer hates 'Barnie' the syruppy naive Dinosaur because he's an inauthentic fool, I think that says a lot about generations. The 'villains' in Gen X films used terrible language because they were 'bad guys' and all of them complicated. See 'Casino' for stellar peformances by Pesci/Deniro/Shrone Stone . You can't make that film today because of depictions of violence against women, ugly slurs. But it's clearly very good. But 'verbotten' for common creators who have to make their way through the industry.

Barnie kids villains aren't allowed to be evil.

I really think kids ought to have more rounded role models, and not infantile empty characters.

> replacing fossil fuels for high-temperature heat to drive industrial processes such as steel and cement production

IIUC, 1 kg of hydrogen has close to the same energy as 1 gallon of gasoline - which has 120k btu.

It takes ~39 kWh with perfect efficiency to produce 1 kg of hydrogen (120k btu).

1 kWh = 3412 btu

39 kWh = 133k btu

Wouldn't you always be better off converting kWh to heat than kWh to hydrogen and then burning hydrogen?
Shit like this is probably only going to get worse once webassembly use becomes common
MITM is aways wrong and dangerous!

I would create a separate protected API that has an additional header such as:

Forward-To-API: database-prod

And have that service lookup the URL and credentials in a secure database and create it's own request to the external service. Even better it could also be your audit log.

The Forward-To-API header would be stripped and the rest of the query would be passed through.

-- This is so obvious that it must already exist!

Do you assume most adults are rational in their decision-making process and are convinced by arguments? I'm mostly seeing the opposite in practice, and that indoctrination seems merely necessary to balance things out.
Doubtful. It's more like trying to steer a ship. There are currents, but also a lot of noise/turbulence.
How about if it mysteriously, spontaneously fell down and you just retrieved it?

“Ce” is cerium, it was Cs-137.
I don't think "avoid otherwise-unused languages for secondary tools" is the same as "avoid less common languages for your main product". Every software developer at your company will likely work on your main product for a non-trivial amount of time. Any software developer who can't figure out a new language in a trivial amount of time isn't worth hiring. Thus, everyone you hire will eventually be competent in the language of your main product.

In contrast, for secondary products, there's a good chance most developers will never work on it at all, and of those who do a significant fraction will spend only a trivial amount of time. Adding the overhead of working in a new language to that balance is significant.

Therefore, the ideal is "Choose the best language for your main product, then write all supporting software either in that language, or a widely-used lingua franca like Python".

I wasn't aware Barnie had villains; modern villains in kids shows are, in fact, often evil.
Is the experience of playing a very expensive violin more enjoyable? Is it easier to express the music on such an instrument? I ask because, for me, a pianist, an older Steinway B that has been meticulously maintained is so much … nicer, even easier, to get the sound I want out of the instrument, when compared to almost any other piano (with some exceptions, such as Grotrian, some Mason & Hamlins, Fandrich & Sons Custom and a few others).
