> the same people who swear cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value and are therefore worthless continuously say “there is no problem because the government can simply create as much money as it wants out of thin air.” So they are implicitly saying that any currency has value because people believe it has value but don’t extend that generosity towards other assets where there is a clearly demonstrated group ascribing value to it.

I don't know if I'm one of those people, but I'd say that no currency has any intrinsic value. Land, labour and production capital have intrinsic value, but I don't even see gold as having intrinsic value; it only has value because we agreed to consider it valuable. The value of any currency comes from the economy that uses it to pay for stuff. Dollars are used to pay for a lot of stuff. Bitcoin was supposed to be used to pay for a lot of stuff, but it seems to have turned into an investment toy. Actually using it to pay for stuff is slow and expensive, and only really worth it for transactions where anonymity is important enough to make the cost worth it. And that seems to be mostly market for crime.

But please correct me if this is outdated and there's now a thriving economy of people buying all sorts of goods with Bitcoin.
I had a similar experience with Potassium. I'd really recommend to get a blood test before taking any supplements.
I salut a major company focusing on classical music. That said, how many small startup / scale up will be dead in 1 year because of that ?
I'm opposing the "voted against crypto" part.

I would assume that NSFW creators largely fall under the "Images" category where only 26% voted against the idea.
Why an app? An app has much more control over your phone without your knowledge. And this is also about desktop browsers, where there's less apps.

I loathe notifications and turn 99% of them off, but there are use cases for this and I'm glad that Apple has finally caved in to better support web apps and not only their walled garden.
Smalltalk/MT has platform threads
I LOL’d a bit at JBoss, only because how radically history changed from App Servers ruling the world to practically disappearing over night into the maw of Spring boot (and it’s ancestors).
Investments that have a positive ROI are worth doing. Deficit spending is never bad per se.

Arguing about the ROI of a road, education, a new shiny F35 feature, foos stamps, etc. are of course completely valid.

Neither society nor the government is one big hivemind.

There are small government advocates (who usually turn out to be cruel totalitarian dickheads), there's a new wave of young people who parrot "eat the rich" and usually turn out to be clueless idiots cosplaying as leftists, who also say things like "just pay for everything out of thin air".

It's big, it's completex, it's hard, emotions run high, there's a chance of things turning for the worse, while a lot of things are inching toward the better.
To be fair, the distinction here is about actions by a government, versus actions by private entities. Opposition to the government banning a website does not necessarily mean that you would oppose private companies refusing to provide service to a bad actor.
The normal person add fuel to their car and expects emission from the car.

The discourse on qualifying different forms of fuels is way more confusing.

It is also dangerous. If we allow marketing of "net-zero" fuels, fossil fuel companies will offset their fuel with CO2 certificates.

so you say that the amount of land and water needed to grow a cow that ultimately I can eat is LESS than if I would use that land to grow food to eat directly? thats pretty wild, I'd think. Not even thinking about the methane issues with cows and other things they add ontop of land use.

BioFuels are a joke, though, a result of lobbyism, fully agree. Individually owned ICEs on a large scale are the problem here, that BioFuel shit is just deflecting blame.
This makes me think maybe I should try to make the jump to a terminal-first way of using computers, i.e. get a laptop that boots to a Linux command line and make that my 'home screen'. Seems like it would force me to stop and think when task-switching. Desktop environments seem designed to trick my brain into flicking between different activities without noticing.
> This web feature is now available in all three browser engines!

I guess for practical purposes this is correct, but they should at least say "all major browser engines". There are others...

I'm genuinely curious: What about push notifications (at least on desktop browsers) bothers you that much? I give permission to a few (like Gmail, etc.) and that's that; it makes my life less stressful knowing that I'll get alerted when it's time.
Do you have any tips on how to effectively parse website content? I tested it on one of my websites and it was able to answer questions based on content that was located in separate div/p containers. Do you divide content into different section and use embedding to find the relevant text, or do you feed the entire page content into the API?
Thing is, even within these constraints it has rough edges.

If you have two accounts (let's say a personal one and work/family/org one), getting passwords for the second account will just be a PITA.

Same issue of course if you need someone else's password (e.g. your spouse's hotel reservation account's password)

Trying to work this around means you'll either be asking people's passwords other the phone or other means, or you'll often switch between accounts and will want lower security on the account themselves as the identification process get old very quick. Basically, these limitations are not without impact on security and how people will deal with them.
Magnesium levels in the water can vary fairly significantly from place to place.
Yes, but they're only allowed to use the data for the (legitimate) purpose it was retained. If you ask them not to retain/use it for marketing purposes, they can still retain it for statutory purposes but they can then only use it for that (not for sending you advertising emails etc.)
Apart from the already mentioned OPENSTEP for Enterprise, see also here:

https://www.stone.com/dev/StonesThrow2/OneFoxTwoFox.html

Basically, it was called Yellowbox, but it didn’t officially survive the release of Mac OS X IIRC. But Apple was at least still using parts of it for some Windows ports back then I believe.
This is probably something that will be fixed with an OpenAI to "some chess AI"-plugin. Then for the current model it's just enough to understand that it's a chess problem.
> My public keys are public for a reason though.

You may reasonably not care, but it’s also reasonable to care.

It’s not about them being public, it’s about announcing them. For me, running `ssh git.charm.sh` would have SSH essentially say “hi, I’m chris-morgan on GitHub (and here’s cryptographic proof)” as part of connecting. That’s a huge privacy leak. It’s disclosing all your identities automatically, including perhaps that you work for ACME Corporation, and isn’t that a valuable tid-bit for social engineering attacks, when you take all these things together.

(I think it’s worth noting of your pithy line that the two words spelled “public” are homonyms, not at all the same. The first one I might call cryptographic-public, and the second socially-public. There’s no need to share a (cryptographic-)public key (socially-)publicly, and doing so can be actively undesirable.)
I thought it might based on a lot of things I saw back when I was still keen on a remarkable tablet. It’s still awesome to see people developing tools to funnel data into Obsidian. It’s great additional evidence I’ve the right long term choice with Obsidian for my notes. And who knows, maybe I’ll end up getting a Remarkable as a gift or change my mind, and I’ll definitely try to remember your tool if that happens… and I’d definitely pay for a tool that automates my Apple Notes to Obsidian… for what that additional data point is worth to your product planning.
It's too bad that the Czech train hack doesn't seem to work any more: There's a train from Berlin to Prague that stops in Dresden. It used to be much cheaper to book the trip Berlin-Dresden with České dráhy, compared to the price you get with DB.

I think you also had to make it an international ticket to make it work, booking the journey from Berlin to the first station after the border. And then just leaving the train early, at your intended destination.
“There's nothing wrong with using a slightly less performant version of something for your MVP”

Twice as slow is slightly less? What about losing to competition because your app is slow and doesn’t feel like it belongs in the operating system? Or what about the cost and potential failure of a rewrite of a more complex app requiring technology the existing team has no experience with?
Show HN: Hoy - I made a web app to send push notifications to your friends
Apple launched web push in their new iOS Safari 16.4. Being a web enthusiast, in celebration of this release I am launching my new side project which can be used to send push notification to your friends.
Arguably if you work on a mac and you use git regularly then just add it to ~/.config/git/ignore, and it will be ignored everywhere.

I spent a good 30 seconds wondering if "++i" had some side-effect compared to the more usual "i++", before I saw the real problem, and I write C all day.
Maybe, but some of those countries are quite big markets. Why would Apple miss out on those?
Perhaps I should. An infinite future of the Berlin Philharmonic under Karajan, producing performances only slightly more perfectly machined, needs some antidote.
I only learn about Magnesium Glycinate now... I have been taking Magnesium Citrate ... works well for me...

But reading online... I see why Glycinate maybe better for some XD:

I meant the British Empire upon which the sun never set .. except, of course, it did post WWII which is relatively recent history in the arc of world history and empires.

The connection here, of course, is Hong Kong - the thorn in China's side for a century and the blueprint for long term lease | treaty agreements over territory abroad nailed to China after foreign meddling and Opium Wars, etc.

As for the US, sure, they have a global span of ports, ground stations and 'temporary' military occupations | bases as yet not given back - but they and China will be co-existing as globe spanning world powers for some decades to come, much to the chagrin of the "We're Number One" crowd.
> even if it would solve problems for them.

It wouldn't. At the end of the day you need to pay for stuff in your life: food, rent, clothes. None of those things are paid in crypto. All of them are paid in actual real money.

When the price of crypto can go up and down hundreds of percents per day this makes it a very bad substitute for money.
The Case Schiller index comes out today. That’ll be interesting - though the RE market has much further to go.
I don't even have it for chat. It's insane to me that you'd let your attention be stolen away that easily at any given moment (don't understand how people get deep hard work done when that's a constant risk).

I suspect it depends if you are deficient in some mineral in the first place if it makes a difference or not.

Sure the people that claim it fixed their problem in a day, it's probably a placebo, but I suspect for some people things really do help them.

If you eat a "balanced diet" (whatever that means), then you probably don't need any supplements. I noticed after I was drinking Huel for breakfast for a few months, I felt much better in general.
I completely agree that some climate activists are spreading FUD (for some time I was a climate denialist because of that), but it cannot be used as an argument against sensible climate policies. Here we are not even talking about policy - it is just a recommendation that was blocked by lobbying group.

Even just a recommendation cannot pass and people are defending this by bringing up some ignorant climate activists or using manipulation tactics (like in fwungy post).
> We're not about to run out of land

We already did, in the sense that we'd need more earths to let everyone on earth eat the kind of diets prevalent in rich countries today.
https://ourworldindata.org/agricultural-land-by-global-diets

Current enourmous land use by meat industries has many negative effects. We should individually switch to plant based (if you haven't already) and in public policy rapidly remove all subsidies from meat and animal industries and fully price in all negative externalities (GHG, antibiotics risks, pandemic risks, air and water pollution). At the same time subsidize plant based alternatives. As a result plant based alternatives would be several times lower in cost than the meat versions, which in turn would drive consumption changes.

In this case they are acting as a payment processor. Payment processors are not banks usually.

More regulation can only help in forcing PP to have a human that you can talk to after the algorithms have banned you.
> Not enough people enjoy seaweed as a food because it's just not appetizing.

Seaweed being unappetizing is learned behavior. It’s eaten across the world and most people wouldn’t find it unappetizing unless told it is.
Those are very good points. I agree on animal foods being worse for the environment too. Cheers.

The discussion from the top used the term "people" in a very general way, at least to me, so I think my reply was relevant and I was asking you for more on your point of view. I now have a better understanding of what you mean because you clarified just now. However, you seem to have understood my point too so may I suggest in the interest of us all having a better time on here, that you to respond a bit more charitably when someone doesn't exactly get the point you are making. Thanks.
It's a pity that the notification popups exist, they ruined notifications making them dead on arrival. It should be a browser setting UI somewhere so only motivated users can enable them. They can be useful. They should be an alternative to RSS. And they could remove a lot of bloat from app stores -- so many apps exist solely to capture the notifications channel
Yes, those same banks, that are "regulated" yet they decide what they do with your money, just like PayPal. Bonus: they collapse.
Editor’s List: 5 Leading SaaS Tools for Efficiency
I wish browsers would have some kind of reputation system for push notifications.

If most other users find push messages from a site useful, then allow them. Otherwise, don't. Eg. Messages from ebay that say 'you won the auction, please pay now' might have the majority of users wanting.

Whereas messages from engadget letting you know that there are 112 new trending articles might see a far lower user interaction rate.

I would like the browser to have a setting "only allow push notifications from sites that the majority of other users interact with".
The price of BitCoin doesn't "go up and down hundreds of percents per day".
Annoying fact is that every major browser silently installs itself into the startup process when you enable any browser push notification on Windows (with Edge being enabled for this by default iirc).

If you're wondering why your only 2-year old Laptop is slowing down when you boot it up - this is why. Chances are that Edge, Firefox and/or Chrome all three decided that they should have the right to run a full instance of themselves when you boot up your PC because you enabled a notification for a site that doesn't ever send any to begin with.

Browsers are heavy things to boot up (not to mention that in potato RAM environments, they eat through RAM like there's no tomorrow). To be clear, browsers being heavy applications is fine, it's one application where people tolerate it because of how versatile the browser is, but it is extremely frustrating when it results in the computer taking 5 minutes to sign in, when all they needed to do was quickly revise a Word document.

The result is that people end up writing off perfectly serviceable laptops for something that is easily disabled in the task manager.

This sorta thing really should get a big warning popup that if you enable it, it probably will end up slowing down your PC. I can't exactly celebrate the fact that all three major browser engines now pester users into slowing down their PCs.

Otherwise, if your relatives/friends are complaining their laptop is slow (and you're the designated IT person), enjoy the free advice.

So is the news true or not? It should be pretty simple in this case, because if for the news to not be true it would mean they are not in fact rewriting Agatha Christie books at all? So which is it, do you have any knowledge?

Or do you suggest to only read news from sources aligned politically with your views regardless of whether there is or isn't any true in the news?

Anyway, in my opinion people who read the news and disregard facts that don't agree with their opinions is what I think is wrong with the world at the moment. Because of large number of these people, lying actually starts making sense, at least if you only care about getting elected. Because then what you say doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is whether you are able to exploit existing divisions to hijack voters by telling lies that agree with voters' emotions.
Interesting... I also thought about adding support for MYD format to ClickHouse.

Because 15 years ago, the fastest way to insert data into MySQL was - to write a MYD file manually from C++ code into the MySQL data directory and then do something like `REPAIR TABLE t FAST QUICK`.

But it only works for MyISAM, which is rarely used anymore.

Here's the Twitter thread (by Gergely Orosz) that TechCrunch got the news from: https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1640585325192912898

Is it even possible to do that? I was under the impression that 'the timeline' (I assume you mean the "For You" feed) was an auto-generated feed that I have no control over.
I clicked through to this thread because I want to know more about this.

I'm a user (of both RHEL and Fedora, although I use RHEL via the free developer license so I am not actually a customer).

I used to be a Sun user in the same way, but when Oracle bought Sun it was really, really obvious that using Sun's stuff was something we should immediately prepare to stop doing.

It's a little less obvious with IBM buying Red Hat, though -- especially to a random user like me.

For one, IBM isn't nestled between Halliburton, Enron, and Juul on the despicability spectrum.

For two, it looks a lot like Apple buying NeXT, at least from the outside. As in old company with a lot of not-looking-so-hot-anymore tech buys the younger upstart with better tech, and the better tech seems to win.

So what, specifically, is IBM doing that is so bad? E.g. firing the team responsible for developing X, and just milking the dead husk for short-term enterprise deals, or... ??
It can be reformed. I specifically say that it can be.

My point is that, because you have so many disparate groups with completely different pronunciations (and therefore different target idealized spellings), reformation will destroy the majority of the value.

And nobody who actually speaks english has an interesting in destroying the value of understanding that language.

In addition to being toxic and irrelevant to the parent comments (who mentioned kids?), This argument is a red herring.

Of course if everyone dies, we mitigate anthropogenic climate change, but that doesn't really further our analysis of the issue. There is nothing inherent in children that uses carbon, it is human behavior in the context of petro-capitalism that uses carbon. If I have thirteen kids and they live on a farm cooperative, I'll be responsible for less carbon than the parent commenter.

Except there are almost no programs where the government can actually deliver positive ROI, and the government never has any motivation to actually do this and report on it.

I think in almost all cases except where private markets can’t deliver (for example police, army, possibly roads), private markets will almost always use money (or resources) much better.
