Ah, I see. That kind of control.

So in this analogy the government should regulate cryptocurrency mining (production), import, export, domestic transfer, exchange, disposal, loans, etc…?

In other words, you're saying that cryptocurrencies should be treated as goods, not monetary instruments?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that's not quite what you mean. It sounds like you (and I've heard this from other pro-cryptocurrency advocates) want to carve out a new type of asset, basically with the exact purpose to avoid all existing legislation.

This common argument says that it's just like money, but should not be regulated as currency. It's actually much more like a commodity, but should not be regulated like one. It can act as a security, but should definitely not be regulated like one.

Commodities are subject to sales tax/VAT at delivery. Cryptocurrency's delivery is instant, or never. That's not clever avoidance, that's just trying to eat your cake and have it too.

Yep. No sane company wants to deal with the legal and PR nightmare of their product being used to generate realistic CSAM based on a child star and/or photos taken in public of some random person's kid.
Those don't get paid in advance. They're paid as part of your paycheck.
The risk isn't that you'll call them a jerk, it is that when your new job falls through, your old job can no longer credibly claim that you left voluntarily because they moved your quit date. You were fired. So you'll be able to claim unemployment and the business' unemployment insurance premiums could rise.

It's bound to be cheaper to pay the two weeks than to pay the increase in unemployment insurance premiums for every remaining employee in perpetuity. In that sense, it's short-sighted to not pay you through your notice period.

This incident, others like it, and the homelessness problem squarely falls on Reagan and the Kennedy’s for making it near impossible to commit people to mental health care for those that need it.
What do they drive instead then?
Money needs to have a return, even internally. Saying "we can afford it" buys you goodwill, but the same way employer goodwill towards employees shifts with the wind, so does consumer and employee sentiment.

People do not generally pick their grocery cart or smartphone based on how the brand makes them "feel". Upper middle class professionals with six figure plus salaries might, but they are far in the minority.
Better towing, lower maintenance... seems like ICE vehicles are going to need the government subsidy if anyone will even want them
Perhaps they read a defense of liberal arts majors as having certain benefits including teaching critical thinking skills and decided to take this as an affront? I don’t know. Lots of groups have strange persecution complexes.
We’re had ~15 years of a booming global economy.

Many people haven’t experienced economic slowdowns.

While my heart goes out to this person, you have to look at this also from the companies perceptive - it’s way easier to “layoff” someone who hasn’t started their job yet vs. someone who’s been with the company for sometime.

I’m not saying that makes it ok what happened. It’s just that during a slowing economy, there’s no good way to prevent innocent people from getting impacted.
I'm surprised there's not closed loop control for feeds and speeds. Like, it seems relatively easy to tell when the tool is chattering, even a simple microphone and audio processing would probably give a decent signal that could then instruct the machine to slow the feed or take smaller bites.
You can absolutely have both. A little CSS would go a long way here, there is no reason to go full JS SPA to make a page look nice. In fact many times it’s the opposite.
> SF's favorite game is to send ambulances out to a guy sitting on the street, screaming insane things, covered in his own feces and trying to punch people. Ambulance shows, guy says "No!"

Roughly - without the violence - a friend watched this precise scenario last fall in Spokane, WA. If the person had been within hospital grounds, the paramedics & security could have restrained them under grounds of inability to make choice, given them medications, and maybe helped them some. But, since the person was a block away from the hospital, there was no ability to say, "buddy, you have feces all over you and are laying with flies all over. we're gonna take you in, hose you off, launder the clothes, then see what we can do for your mental state". That would have been the kindest thing to do.

The crux is that certain "out of your mind" states require external intervention, and there is no legal way to apply that in many jurisdictions today. Note that some jurisdictions require a trial-like apparatus for involuntary holds after some 24/36? hour period - I don't that's inappropriate at all. Being able to see a guy laying covered in filth and take him in to help should be legal; at least for 24 hours. The indigent will have their debt forgiven - hospitals know they don't get blood from a turnip.

It is true that some medications don't work for everyone, and some medications produce horrific side effects. So there is some % of people for whom the best medication regimes today do not work. That has to be considered and reflected through. It's also true that there's high correlation with addiction and homelessness. That all has to be considered and addressed.

Considering institutions. As I've had a good friend for a long time with mental illness who has been in wards, the quote from the article is very true.

> I disliked the hospital, but even with its heavy locked door, I knew it wasn’t a branch of the “carceral state” devised by a power‑mad society to torment him.

And this has to be understood by everyone who thinks through this. Mental wards in the United States today are not, conventionally, torture chambers for mad doctors. They are restrictive and often frustrating, for reasons that a little thought should reveal. Aberrant nurses and arrogant & high-handed docs exist there, but they are not, systemically, the norm. It is not a horror movie.

TBQH, I don't think the vast majority of mental health writings online by non-experts touch on severe mental illness in anything approximating a realistic way.

The status quo is really quite unacceptable. My druthers would be to re-institutionalize and keep a very high legal and regulatory scrutiny on the institutions. Other solutions might work well too. But a key cornerstone of improvement will have to come to changing the shape of the law for involuntary holds and medication for people in high crisis.
IMO only, but it seemed obvious to me he bought Twitter to have a personal, unfiltered, unaccountable platform to pontificate from. The trove of information he now has access to is gravy.
Why do we even need banks? What does the financial industry provide? If we were to restructure everything, what would make sense? What are the invariant properties of a viable financial system?
Probably, there's little reason it wouldn't. The profit (karma, attention) is too high for the cost (time, effort).
Jetpens is an evil website, truly. Spent so much money on fountain pens on brands I didnt even know existed until I saw it on that site.
We demonize people who have been through the criminal system which is entirely wrong. Being convicted shouldn't prevent you from work. Be convicted of something that conflicts with your occupation yes.

I don't disagree with you. It is just that we need a better model.

The black and white, night and day. Non-flexible meanings in criminalization and rehabilitation are problematic.

I'd bet that Ford is the only legacy American brand that will make it to 2033. And it's because of their heavy investment to manufacture more and not just assemble - great to see it happen
I prefer HN website design for an entirely different reason: readability.

More "modern" designs put a lot of crap and distractions between me and what I'm at the site to do: read the articles and/or comments. HN doesn't so that, and that makes the HN design a million times better than most others.
My aunt didn't want treatment because her parents were trying to control her. So much so that she had her daughters up on the roof trying to disconnect the power lines so her parents and her ex-husband couldn't send control messages through the wires.

Sometimes people don't want treatment because they're insane.
As the maintainer of a rabbitmq client library (not the golang one mentioned in the article) the bit about dealing with reconnections really range true. Something about the AMQP protocol seems to make library authors just... avoid dealing with it, forcing the work onto users, or wrapper libraries. It's a real frustration across languages, golang, python, JS, etc. Retry/reconnect is built in to HTTP libraries, and database drivers. Why don't more authors consider this a core component of a RabbitMQ client?
There are FDM processes that go back down in Z direction - like printing multiple units on the same build plate one at a time. And in those situations you do have to be careful not to crash the print head into an already printed part.
I'm one of those - I have a dumb appreciation for my V8 after spending so long with economy four cylinders

I recognize the silliness of it, but I really love the vroom vroom and would be at least kind of saddened in an EV
I think the real magic is that he cared very deeply about both.
It’s a shame because the small communities are great. I’ve had an Electrical engineer explain to me the intricacies of stepper motors to better optimize my 3D printers, and the creator of LORA had an in depth conversation asking people how he could improve LORAs for Stable Diffusion.

But you’re right, the main subreddits are terrible and have been for a very long time.
> Personally, I think he may have felt "it's now or never".

Yes, That's exactly what I think.
> ZSNES is forgotten and overtaken by many more that have done the proper thing.

When ZSNES did its thing, which, just to remind people, was back when Pentium IIs ruled the roost and CPUs topped out at 450mhz, doing things the proper way was not a choice because the proper way needed 3x the CPU power of doing things the ZSNES way that worked.

Dolphin became popular because it could actually play games, and I bet if they had instead spent an extra 3 or 4 years working on code that was "correct" without releasing anything, well odds are they wouldn't have such a large following and would not have attracted so many contributors.

Users do not benefit from "perfect code" that they never get to use because it is still in development.
Definitely a click-bait title. I'd argue the IP alone gives you even more useful information.
I do not think this video was made by the lab that invented this. I couldn't find where they got the video clips from, but I did find a video about an earlier iteration of a cilia-based pipe robot from the same lab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGJXTUZbbWA

I believe the spherical gear is used to move the "elephant head."
This is the primary reason I wouldn't go back to combustion. The running costs of electric vehicles are absurdly low at times.

You can put 50k-100k miles on most EVs on sale today having only bought cabin air filters, tires and wiper blades in addition to the cost of the electricity - thats largely it!
Yes, financial companies mostly regulate themselves. They have lawyers telling them what regulators are likely to approve of, and make rules based on that for themselves and their customers. If they do something sufficiently bad, regulators go after them. That’s how banks get regulated, too.

That’s how most law works, actually. There’s a question of how detailed the regulations are, but mostly you don’t go to court, and if you do, whether it looks bad to the judge or jury is going to make a difference.

I’m wondering what you’re expecting from democracy? More oversight from a bitterly divided and dysfunctional Congress? People voting on financial propositions?
I bought a moonman m2 a long time ago and really love it but also if I travel with it I end up bringing a whole cleanup kit because even with care I tend to have at least once where ink comes out into the cap.

Is this just a fact of life with fountain pens in general? I love the writing but keeping them clean & operational has been non-trivial for me.

I am pretty sure for most corporations you get the bonus after you moved, unless they contracted a relocation company and you accepted their service.
I expect the parent is referring to human-caused melting of glaciers as the root cause of that tectonic movement, rather than the expected natural motion of the tectonic plates.
I'm sure it would protect us as well as it always has. I.E. it hasn't. Too easy to offload en masse to turks, and AI itself is getting better at solving it.
It's a good reminder, but in this context you really ought to mention that STEM is the least affected by the replication crisis, while "softer" fields like sociology and psychology are the most affected.

The sad thing is, that for finding actually useful info instead of SEO spam drivel and copy pasted identical articles just phrased slightly differently, adding 'reddit' to google search is still the best way. Speaks loudly about the state of google and the internet.
I've worked hand-in-hand with technologly static religiously devout Amish. They listen to their doctor.
> You say it’s trivial to have good taste, but it’s not trivial at all.

I 100% agree. "Good taste" is just another phrase that means "style that I prefer". There is no such thing as an objective ideal of good taste. It's all about human preferences, and that gets very complicated very quickly.
Could we incorporate some sort of verification beverage?
It is easy to avoid multiple workers processing the same task: `delete from task where id = (select id from task for update skip locked limit 1) returning *;`
I love Substack. But apart from to mess with Twitter I really don’t understand the point of this.

https://substack.com/profile/241262-casey-newton/note/c-1446... I’d a good summary. I don’t want to subscribe to hundreds of newsletters to see tweet (sorry, notes). But if you change that setup, it really is a Twitter clone with no upside to writers.
Not "stolen" in a derogative way, but OFC I knew NeXT it's from Steve.
But Apple without NeXT and BSD core it would die in 2001 against XP in the desktops. 2000 already was lights ahead Mac OS 9.
In scientific Unix usage, GNU/Linux already won.
I can vouch for the Pentel EnerGel recommendation.

As a left-handed person who tends to smudge a lot of other inks, EnerGels write smoothly without smudging. They're also cheap enough to buy a whole pack and not worry about losing them.
If you steal more than $5K three times in California, you will get 25 years in prison [1], and while I think that's disgusting and detestable, I don't want any elites getting special treatment either, so as to force change in those sentencing guidelines.

Twitter Is Dead: It's All 'X Corp' Now
If you think even about the etymology of "hand-out", it is not in fact the government handing out money — the company is handing less money to the government.

When the federal government gives a tax credit for installing residential solar panels, it is not a "consumer bailout" or "welfare".

We have a perfectly good term for this, which is "tax credit", because that is what it is.
> Getting shot is a cost, even if it isn't necessarily 'money'.

Maybe, but we're evaluating the quote "For war, you need three things: money, money and money" which is presumably about money.
Honestly saying you can't have a number 1/0 because it breaks the ring axioms seems exactly analogous to saying 0 can't exist because it breaks the group axioms for multiplication on the non-zero reals. Is ring multiplication "not really multiplication" because it doesn't satisfy group axioms? That doesn't seem consistent with normal usage to me, but you could imagine a pedantic student coming out of their first group theory course and trying to make that argument.
I'm looking forward to trying this, but the app crashed after posting my first reply to someone. Busy day for Substack engineers, I imagine!
I remember when everybody was telling me that the demise of "net neutrality" would force me to pay my ISP for special "packages" to use different sites. Want to use HN? It's blocked unless you pay for the "tech forum package". ...Except that never happened. It turned out that the hysteria was manufactured by American tech corps like Google and Netflix that feared having to renegotiate their peering arrangements.

This sounds like more of the same. The proposed EU law applies to commercial activity, which volunteer FOSS development is not. So now we have commercial interests trying to fan the flames of another hysteria.

I was thinking the real profit was in "shaping the narrative". But yeah, I can see karma and attention being competitive.
It would've been fine, but it would not have been "perfect". Evidently some markets grossly overvalue quality of the product more than anything else (in comparison to other markets).
I'm not saying it's silly to be knowledgeable about the Beatles. I think it's silly to point to something specific like "Yoko/John/George broke the Beatles up!". Group dynamics are always more complex than that. But the thing that seems clear with the Beatles, and many many other groups, is that their tastes, interests, and personal lives evolved and they didn't or couldn't work together anymore.
That still works regardless of file permissions, own-app storage is always allowed on both iOS and Android since ever on iOS and since Android ~6. And clipboard access is all API-based, at least.
So every 2 weeks i read posts like this, 'Company X will just quit" if they have to pay tax/comply with some law/ follow basic decency

But it never happens. The only example is Google leaving China because of authoritarianism. And now they are back.

Maybe it can happen to a tiny country. But do you actually imagine that the entire 17 trillion economy of EU will be left without software?

Companies do not 'just quit' huge markets. They don't leave money on the table.
Definitely agree. It’s not either or, and both issues should be given attention; however I think reducing the incidence of mental illness is more fruitful than correcting the negatives of it after the fact.
>We cannot not wait until someone is objectively dangerous before using state power to constrain their liberty in the interests of other people’s security, because any other course of action is arbitrary tyranny

Not true. There are nonviolent crimes that are still crimes and that you can still jail people for, and which the homeless commit lots of.
>The indigent will have their debt forgiven - hospitals know they don't get blood from a turnip.

Lol I was taken involuntarily to the hospital. When they gave up billing me they simply turned it over to collections to let them deal with squeezing the blood from the turnip. (not mental though, fraudulent accusation by federal agents I had drugs up my ass and then dragged there in handcuffs).
> outside of Zuck?

I don't think Zuckerberg cares about his product, really. He cares about the income from his product. That's a different thing.
Always find it interesting that you want to have a plant-based diet but than still want to eat things like eggs, plant-based burgers, nuggets etc.

Do people keep eating those or is it a some sort of bridge/stepping stone to become having fully plant-based diet?
For me the audio stutters when I look at it, but it plays smoothly when I am in a different tab.
I presume they also allow you to detect if you have the app installed or not.
Yes! Turns out open, transparent, low-barrier scientific and technological development snowballs itself. Who would have thunk :)
People complain about homelessness in the San Francisco sub all the time though? I'll be honest, I hardly go to that sub but whenever I do it seems like there's at least one post about it.
there are other forms of filtering/ rate limiting like by reputation, HN does this already to some extent for new users < 500 .

Recency of reputation changes can be factors so historical accounts don't accrue a lot of value for bots to buy.

We will downvote spam or low quality content anyway . Accounts (users or bots) with poor rep can be more harshly restricted.

Ultimately does it matter if a human is actually posting if the post is insightful / useful ?
Hi, Supabase Auth Engineer here. We are very close to feature parity with Firebase Auth. Off the top of my head, the 2 features we're missing right now is anonymous authentication and multi-tenancy.

We're also gonna be launching something auth-related this week too so stay tuned!

"Because it builds on an instinct to search for and use psychologically abnormal behavior among opposite-sex individuals to one's own advantage."

I believe the writer's premise understates the complexity of the issue. People's sexual preferences and behaviors vary, and not all pornography involves abnormal or unethical behavior.

The vast majority of publicly available pornography today is consent-based, though there are undoubtedly ethical concerns and instances of non-consensual content in the industry. It is critical to recognize these issues. However, it appears that the writer's argument is an oversimplification; not unlike suggesting that war movies are inherently wrong because bad things happen in wars.
Array(101).fill(0).map((_,i)=> [...])

It's astonishing to me that even with all the niceties added to ES7+, JS still needs to resort to a hack like this for a simple range generator. At least give iterators support for forEach(), reduce(), and map(), so we can use `Array(100).keys()` without having to wrap it with the spread operator.

Also, can't help but snark that apparently the "average" FP is so preoccupied with showing off their one-liners that they fail the problem requirements (should be `Array(100).fill(0).forEach((_,i)=>console.log(fizzbuzz(i+1)))`).
