Tether is typically used on non-US centralized exchanges, where they don't have access to USDC.

People could still use USDC on-chain. According to https://ultrasound.money/, on the Ethereum network, there's $39.277B USDC and $32.35B Tether. Tether's popularity might be different on other networks.
In half? Seriously? The change it's huge.
CS:GO works perfectly well on Linux.
Valve is great about that kind of thing.
Meh if it's unmanned there isn't really an issue.
No I would assume that at the margin, increases in population are drastically skewed towards more poverty.

So if we we went from 8B to 80B I'd argue we'd go from 1B -> >50B in poverty. Maybe a lot worse than that.

This is obviously dependent on where you are born but especially true once you consider that the places left with high fertility have nearly perfect overlap with the places with high volumes of extreme poverty.

And this is only in the short term. Those people are generating plastic waste, consuming fuel, and many other things that are net negatives to the planet over time. So over the long term this problem just gets worse.
Indeed. I had a friend in college from Gary, Indiana which at the time was perennially near the top of the homicides per-capita lists. He said that he learned at a young age which neighborhoods to avoid and felt generally safe in the "good parts" of town.
Ohohoh. The craziest reason for the missile to go a little conky has got to be the energy management steering maneuver in THAAD (dunno if other missiles do it as well) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_De...
Inefficiency of producing hydrogen relative to storing energy in batteries is one of the major points that detractors of hydrogen cite.
Here's Terra Luna price today: https://www.coinbase.com/price/terra-luna. Clearly, it is above zero (it's $0.000170 for those curious.) I think I would be happy to concede one USDT is worth definitely above $0.000170 while also maintaining it's worth definitely below $1.
Slow your roll there and define your terms: who actually is everyone not-Apple?

Do you just mean carriers and Google? That leaves out in your apparent definition of “Apple” a bunch of things I thought were “not-Apple”: LINE, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Kik, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Skype, Telegram, Signal, Discord, Slack, Teams and basically every single app with some form of DMing.

RCS might have made sense in a different world, but in this one it’s just another protocol among many and without any compelling reason to support it other than it’s “not SMS”. There’s a lot of “not SMS” out there and iMessage and RCS are just two among many; you’re going to need something a lot more compelling than that.
I figured this out already with speakers and definitely with headphones.
Yea it produces chlorine. Nuclear subs need to use reverse osmosis first to get around that problem when they want to produce Oxygen from seawater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Ud6mHdhlQ
"conservatives understand liberals liberals do not understand conservatives"

>In a study I did with Jesse Graham and Brian Nosek, we tested how well liberals and conservatives could understand each other. We asked more than two thousand American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Questionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right)’ Who was best able to pretend to be the other?

>The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as “very liberal.” The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives.* When faced with questions such as “One of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal” or ”Justice is the most important requirement for a society,” liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree. If you have a moral matrix built primarily on intuitions about care and fairness (as equality), and you listen to the Reagan [i.e., conservative] narrative, what else could you think? Reagan seems completely unconcerned about the welfare of drug addicts, poor people, and gay people. He’s more interested in fighting wars and telling people how to run their sex lives.

Back in the day I would have often said that these con artists targeted the laziest of the population, but the more I think about it, they are targeting the most desperate.

For any young person in 2023, a “normal” income doesn’t cut it anymore. You aren’t going to start a family on it, or go on vacation and buy two cars.
A sufficiently large balloon with enough payload capacity (and some method of data link back to its operators) would probably be more useful for SIGINT and rf spectrum data gathering, assuming it has directional antennas aimed at whatever is directly underneath it. Same capability in a LEO satellite weighing 500kg+ might be very costly to launch.
So if 100 people in group A average a total of 10 crimes, and 5 people in group B average a total of 9 crimes, you think you are being intellectually honest when you say "group A commits more crimes" in the context of comparing the crime levels of those two groups?
> Long term, I want this model to grow beyond me and become a known professional path. This experiment is both easier and harder for me than it will be for those after me: easier because I have an extensive personal network and the financial means to safely take risks; harder because it’s uncharted territory for both me and the clients and because there’s a lack of legal, administrative, and marketing tools. I hope that as things progress the barriers will lower, making the model accessible to more and more people.

I feel this is attitude is honourable and should be commended for its wholesome goodness. I really like your attitude in trying to raise opportunities for software engineers and normalise paying for software maintenance.

Do people really enjoy paying for software?
Do people actually just pay for bespoke development when they pay for software engineers with the silent industry wide acceptance that software is custom created and not for sharing outside that company. I'm thinking of your custom development for a wordpress blog for a small business or an ERP installation for a particular large organisation.

I feel the independent software vendor market for desktop software has stalled. Antivirus is supplanted by Windows Defender, except for Photoshop and some audiocreative software that everyone uses, I don't see the popularity of download websites that there was in the late 90s early 2000s when I was growing up.

I feel, as a software engineer I would like to love a codebase more, to do the things how I truly want to do them, but am held back by financial obligations and for my employer to be rewarded for shipping.

In my observations of internet comments, even software engineers and people don't enjoy buying software packages unless it is an application on a mobile device.

I can put HomeKit devices on a VLAN and not have them phone home. My Apple TV or HomePod will act as a bridge and will carry out my automations while I’m gone. Apple devices don’t bother me they aren’t an Ad company and have products I’ll buy into.
The First Amendment had nothing to do with ending the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine had First Amendment carve outs, even: a station could air whatever opinion it wanted so long as it correctly labeled it an editorial opinion. (As opposed to just treating all opinions as facts and blurring all the lines between news, editorial content including opinions, and entertainment.)

Such regulation could be legally applied to the internet. It may need a different agency to enforce it as the FCC only ever had the most control over broadcast airwaves (though the FCC still has some control over cellular bandwidth and broadband cabling and could use those as leverage), but basic regulations like "ads need to properly labeled; news needs to be properly labeled; editorial opinions need to be properly labeled" could absolutely still exist within the rights of the First Amendment. (The first Amendment is a nuanced thing and primarily designed between you a citizen and your government, every other kind of relationship is mostly just assumed beyond that, and some of it depends on whether you agree with the Citizens United decision that corporations are citizens and money is speech, which is a massive rabbit hole.)

If there was a US Congress that wanted to regulate it, they absolutely could. The difference between 1949 and today has nothing to do with the First Amendment or technology changes and almost everything to do with a lack of will to properly govern with good regulations (and capitalism with no guiding hand regulation sinking to lowest common denominators for clickbait and attention seeking).
No, you'll get arrested. Even if it's Chinese, you're not allowed to mess with it, only the gov is.

yah I'm fuzzy on what white is too precisely. I was going to say caucasian but I don't even know what caucasian means exactly. I guess going by today's landscape I think most people would assume European, but that's a pretty broad swath too with lots of variation in it.
For a non-gaming use, I followed Shelby's/TechTagents' [0] guide for setting up an EEPROM programmer in Fedora 36 with Wine. I've been able to backup and flash several EEPROMs for my EMM8088 [1] XT replica, including BIOS, XT-IDE, VGA, RPL.

In the old days, I used to use Wine for backing up DVDs with DVDShrink, ripping my CD collection to MP3 players, and playing the Windows version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory before the NVIDIA drivers became viable on Crux Linux.

I was going to suggest that sleeping pills are a good way to re-establish good sleeping patterns. Set a strict sleep schedule, and then take the pills for a few days to a week in that schedule. Once you manage to sleep on this strict schedule for a few days your body's rhythms typically realign so you get sleepy on that schedule. Don't use the pills for extended periods though.
An egg has the potential to be human but isn't afforded legal right to fertilization so it can reach its potential. A newborn babe on the other hand has a rights. That I hope we can agree on. Therefore there must be some point in time in which the babe acquires rights it didn't possess. To me the strongest contender for the crossover point is brain development in the third trimester. Do you have a different time in mind? Why?
D'oh, I meant to link Katamari.
There is nothing wrong with setting one’s water heater tank very hot (except potential inefficiencies — there would be more loss when not using hot water, and heat pump water heater can be less efficient heating to a higher temperature). Codes allow this.

What codes do not allow is excessively hot water coming out the fixture. IMO this is the most sensible kind of code: it disallows a specific unsafe outcome. You are not allowed to build a house that burns unsuspecting users of the sink of shower.

So you can apply technology! There are thermostatic mixing valves that can be installed near your tank to serve your whole house or at the individual fixtures. They’re not free, but they’re not terribly expensive, especially if just one is used for the whole house:

In case you're not aware, the 2022 NDAA includes legislation to provide people whistleblower protection to disclose unacknowledged black projects regarding reverse engineering programs to congress. This legislation comes directly from Christopher Mellon and Lue Elizondo's work behind the scenes of getting whistleblowers to testify to the congressional intelligence committees. https://douglasjohnson.ghost.io/uap-related-provisions-of-th...
In the High power rocketry hobby, properly certified, $5k will get you high enough. Guidance is something else, I think you could do it, the knowledge is there and available. It would take many $5k test flights to get it working however.
Sounds like a job for Technology Connections. Or Cathode Ray Dude.
Here's one hypothesis: USDT is used to trade a lot but (hopefully) not a lot of retail investors are holding large amounts of USDT.

But like the CEL (Celsius) a lot of the "market cap" of the coin is held in companies that are essentially insolvent. Like CEL, they use their big balance sheet and the relatively thin amount of trading to prop up the value of USDT when necessary.

That's just an idea. I am not someone who would know. One thing I have learned in life is that people can know there is a problem in a market but the chickens don't come to roost until the last person is convinced they can't make money. Mortgage backed securities were like that. For a couple years people thought it was a problem, then probably most financial people thought it was a problem, and then a long time later it crashed. It really was waiting for the last person to think they couldn't make any money by trading them.
For us it was Starcraft and Need For Speed.
The point is it paints them as a stronger competitor to AMZN and MSFT when the product categories are different, regardless of how customers do accounting.
CSGO works great in Linux.
WebAudio has had a couple: e.g. user gesture requirement which has broken many websites, and even things as simple as using AudioContext to decode a WAV file to a buffer. Another one is script processor nodes.

Beyond API shifts, there are constant regressions and incompatibilities across browser implementations, especially in rich media APIs like image, audio, and video.
What's also bad about this incident is that it was hidden from the public during a weekend because they were having a Moto GP that weekend and didn't want the publicity.
I think we're quickly moving towards living in a sort of poor man's Dyson sphere. More and more of our communications are being enclosed in optical fibers that leak virtually no radiation. Our free space comms are increasingly designed to operate on diminishing amounts of power, and to be practically indistinguishable from noise. We may be a dark planet by a couple centuries from the invention of radio.

Chemical changes to our atmosphere might be detectable from afar.
Hydrogen and electric are complementary strategies, not competitors.
You might be able to bring it down with a powerful enough laser, so a cheap weather balloon and a 50w laser plus a raspberry pi with adequate connectivity, four propellers for course correction, and some servos ought to do the trick for under 1000$.
Your question turned out to be intriguing!

I thought I did not have a reason to employ a name or even think of productions like this as a format.

But, as you point out, the right name is unclear, and just calling it "a video" begs for a "what format?" discussion.

I like "video essay" quite a lot myself. Documentary can work too, but seems a bit off and I am struggling to express why.

Maybe one of us can ask the Technology Connections guy what name he would use. We might get a whole video on the subject!

I am going to ask. Join me. Very curious what he would say, and he would be among the top people qualified to talk about these things too.
Maybe they want to capture it intact (most likely).

Maybe they are doing signals intelligence on it.

Maybe it's a (fake) Chinese school project, and the world wide media will be like tomorrow "US gov shoots down Chinese little girl science project".
I don't know why you're obsessed with RCS so much; Apple doesn't have to use it. People just want a sustainable, open interface to use with iMessage; if Apple won't provide that, then they're the ones responsible for locking people out. It's as simple as that.

Your response here is a very measured take that boils down to "don't trust iMessage either", which defeats the purpose of promoting any improvement over SMS. If we're just going to promote cross-platform software anyways, why should we not encourage our software vendors to work together? What do we stand to lose?
I'm sure getting to tens of billions of USDT is more difficult, but in general, if borrow interest flows in, supply will chase it, as the supply rate automatically adjusts according to the ratio of the pool which is being borrowed.

More people borrowing drives up the supply rate, until more suppliers come in.

You can probably only get so much Tether into the protocols that way, maybe $5-10B

I didn't realize you were talking about shorts of larger size though. I think you'd have a hard time shorting, say, 20% of the supply of a stock also
In response to some comments from someone else who seemed really anxious to be able to argue, on no sound or sensible basis whatsoever, that the whole thing's absurdly overblown and no one should be taking it seriously as the danger to life and health that it was, which is something I've seen a frankly bewildering number of people on HN this week put effort into doing.

I wasn't really replying to your comment at the head of the subthread I was replying to. But, fair: if I'd considered the context a bit more thoroughly, I'd have picked some other metaphor than a movie plot for the unrelated kind of confabulation I was complaining about.
Maybe I was unclear, but I did not mean to imply that the Mighty Duck in question was involved or guilty of anything other than keeping very questionable company. The majority of that sentence was about Collins-Rector.
Probably PR to counter the Cathy Woods of the world saying ChatGPT will destroy Google.
You're right that pre-20th c. math works were quite weird from a modern standpoint. The huge development of mathematical abstraction (and, to some extent, computation) since then has meant that many and perhaps most of the topics that research mathematicians were interested in back in the 19th c. would now be considered boring and sometimes trivial.
Sufficiently advanced hobby grade model rocketry with guidance system and kinetic effect payload might start to resemble an ITAR controlled missile technology item (and/or something the ATF would be interested in for USA domestic destructive device and munitions laws).
It was 70-80 years ago and you were off by about 2 years. Inconsequential.
It makes zero difference to the meat of the story exactly how man Migs were shot down. The precise number is not the story.

> .. it supports people who happen to follow that religion. It's based around humanist tendencies, which the right often doesn't understand. You can hate aspects of a religion while also being against any dehumanization and hatred against people who follow said religion.

I quite agree with this statement in the context of what i believe. Which is to say i tend to dislike religions and personally i dislike Islam more than most (based on what i observe), but above all i don't want to target people, Muslim or otherwise, based on their religion.

I think this also supports a sister comment i made where i describe being unsure what my stance is relative to Islam. Observationally it doesn't seem "good" to me, but its people are also target of a lot of hate in this country (USA). It makes it difficult to discuss objective qualities of a religion without it bleeding into racism or bigotry against those who practice said religion.
That is one theory I also suspect but I have yet to see a study that look at physically strength during conflicts between people. If it is true then among homosexual relationships the person with less physical strength should be detectable when looking at who is the attacker and who is the victim.

It might also be non-linear. A person who has half the strength of their partner might be significant less likely to be the attacker than if a person has just 10% less physical strength. It would be an interesting read.
Show HN: I turned my microeconomics textbook into a chatbot with GPT-3
I never really read my micro-econ textbook.

Looking up concepts from the book with Google yields SEO-y results.

So I used GPT-3 to make a custom chatbot I can query at any time.
“Internationally accepted” in context means other corporations and a telecoms body governed by or influenced if you prefer mostly those corporations. It’s a spin that only makes sense if you ignore what messaging looks like on a modern smartphone in most of the world: apps, most of which are not iMessage and used a lot more than iMessage, RCS or SMS. The blue bubble/green bubble campaign by Google is largely a U.S.-centric PR campaign trying to influence specifically American iPhone customers. You need a better selling point.
If they can accept a USDT for only $0.99 and sell it later for $1.00, they can make money. In theory.

Actually, CSGO is supported on Linux on Steam. And it's even free to play now.
Storing the water at a higher temperature effectively increases the capacity of the tank. Also the stored hot water has to be above a certain level (~60 degrees) at least some of the time otherwise it won't prevent any bugs growing in it.

It's particularly bad with my tankless hot water heater that apparently doesn't even turn on for 15 seconds, and then you wait for the hot water to get to the shower. I swear the whole thing takes 60-90 seconds, and I live in a tiny house. I can't fathom what the hot water is doing on its way to the faucet. (well, yeah, some of that time is also spent heating the cold uninsulated under-house pipes).
