> The real issue with cryptocurrency is that it's not scaleable.

This is very outdated commentary. Cryptocurrency's get better at scaling every year.

Bitcoin was the first, so naturally it is the slowest. Transactions per second (TPS) is around 5.

Ethereum, which released a few years after Bitcoin is around 30 TPS.

There are newer crypto's like Loopring that can currently do 500 TPS.

Ethereum 2.0, is aiming for 100,000 TPS. If they meet this goal, they'll be capable of more TPS than Visa.

I agree with your first paragraph response to me completely, or at least I agree that this type of thinking isn’t acceptable, but would you agree that it is a huge part of the social discourse on women of a certain ages “running out of time” and “hearing their biological clock ticking” etc etc etc? It isn’t inconceivable that she had these thoughts and figured she would have kids while she still could?
> What is bitcoin resilient to? Not falling to $0?

If we cherry pick, say, the Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF [0] in the last 3 years it is down 30%. So bitcoin isn't as resilient against value loss US treasuries but we're seeing changes in magnitude in price that is similar to a long term bond ETF. That is a lot better than I expected, and probably a lot of others. Really good performance compared to the gains, I suspect. No obvious counterparty risk, so probably superior to the debt-laden US government in some sense.

> I don't think that our current financial system fails that often because some transactions were stopped.

Someone is paying for bitcoin to burn a medium country's worth of energy to keep running. That speaks to a certain sincerity in their disagreement with you.

I don’t understand? The second statement is a quote from wikipedia, and does not match my believes. It does not go into the nuance of what heritability entails, nor does it assign the large percentages which IQ advocates do. My believe can very well be:

It has been shown from biased studies that IQ has a large hereditary component, where these studies failed to account for genetic × environmental interaction and covariation.

By the way the wikipedia article it self goes into these nuances and caveats. Reading it, it is pretty clear that there may be a large inheritance factor to IQ, while at the same time large IQ differences between individuals have no genetic basis.

I'm surprised Schneier says "I am unconvinced".

We know (I think?) attackers can apparently easily introduce MitM skimmers to credit card swipers (I _think_ that's how my CC number keeps getting stolen?), possibly even without cooperation of the proprietor? Why not a little invisible injector on a charging port, that seems if anything easier.

Or is the skepticism around something else, I guess? Motivation? Lack of consistency over time of attack vectors around software injection via USB making it hard to commodify the attack? Like, there are only temporary zero days now and then which get patched, so this isn't a "cheap" thing to deploy on a wide scale?

Front-loaded machines with both a washer and heat-pump dryer exists. I've had one for many years. It's quite handy if you have light loads, but I much prefer having a stack of separate washer and dryer, even though it means I have to manually move them from one to the other.
Right! Has it really been that long since this was the status quo?!

There was a time when it was expected that you bought a copy of Widgetmaker 2, and you could use it for as long as you liked, there might be some patches, there might not, but you own (or something close to it) the software and can use it whenever you want.

When Widgetmaker 3 comes out, it's a new product with new features, and you'd have to buy it separately if you want the new goodies. Simple. It worked well enough to build behemoths like 1990's Microsoft.

There are some companies that claim to offer this, but are very sneaky in their approach (NitroPDF is one I'm familiar with), they will offer a one-off purchase, but after a release or two, will no longer provide downloads for your version's installer, and in some cases won't activate it if you reinstall using your own copy of the installation media.

Bring back the days of installing your software, typing in your product key, then using it for as long as you wish.
But I find it very Protestant and American, in a way, to challenge conventional rituals done for ritual sake regardless of belief.

As a protestant myself, give me an atheist pledging the oath over something they believe in (not in a religious sense here, but a personal philosophy sense) over an atheist making a mockery of religion by pledging the oath over something they don't believe in (and may detest).
Unless your language is Coq or Idris, its type system will still be way way less expressive than what reflection can do — java’s type system is quite good, it only misses HKTs, and even where static types are insufficient, it has proper runtime types and error handling, so runtime exploration of dynamic data in a safe way is absolutely possible.
Many people have discussed this. You can simply google and read to realize that your concerns are unfounded.
Yeah, that's another way to go, and I considered doing that. The main thing I didn't like about that strategy was how I'd be sitting on lots of unused code between major releases. All the new features sitting on my SSD for months aren't helping any customers :/
Usenix: Continuous Integration Is Just SRE Alerting ‘Shifted Left’
I haven't seen this brand since I was a kid. It was every plastic container in our house. Their differentiator used to be quality. We still use some of those Tupperware containers 50 years later as opposed to the modern versions that end up in the trash after a couple years. I bet all they make now are the crap containers and they wonder why they can no longer compete.
The misleading implication is that now suddenly Meta is in panic mode and making unprecedentedly drastic cuts, as opposed to just ratcheting its previous layoff policies.

Christian here. You are not misinterpreting. You are correct. In all religions unfortunately people develop traditions and beliefs that are even contrary to the text, and leaders are not good at correcting it.

Swearing by the Bible is a contradiction. But swearing by the Old Testament alone is not a contradiction.
What you describe sounds more like a habit to me. But even if it were a ritual —something (re-)enacted to imbue meaning to a moment— it's of a different quality than swearing in the head job of an organization that aims to bring humanity to the stars.

There is a difference between what we consider to be the sacred and the profane. Rituals fall into either of these categories as well.
> What I'm meaning, though, is that if you were to go against your duty as the head of NASA, Carl Sagan isn't going to rise from the grave and smite you for your transgression. Whereas I believe that is exactly the point of swearing over a bible.

Oh come on, god doesn't smite people anymore. He doesn't smite anyone except in the text of an old book. Religious people now swearing on the Bible are not seriously fearful of God personally smiting them should they break their oath.

Terence Tao makes about only half a million or so every year (his salary at UCLA is public).

The question was about people who are caught committing crimes like Holmes and SBF. I was asking why the parent commenter believes that they would be caught, charged, but then never face consequences.

How often are we seeing blatant public crimes by wealthy people (like Holmes, SBF, Epstein, etc) get shrugged off the by system? The parent comment implies that rich people can do crimes in public, get caught, then not suffer the consequences. I’m asking where this belief comes from, because it’s weirdly prevalent on HN, Twitter, Reddit, and other social medias despite not reflecting the realities.
I don't buy that, at least not in the general case. A CDN adds an additional indirection between the site you serve and the content that you reference on the CDN.
Please try to keep the discussion civil. That comment is not civil.

People naturally have different interpretations of the ceremony where you swear an oath. Some people believe that the ceremony is symbolic—there is no actual entity whose wrath they are invoking if they break the oath. It is natural to want to make the ceremony conform somewhat to your actual, personal beliefs, rather than participating inauthentically. That’s all that’s needed here to understand the decision.
What on earth are you talking about? The article is discussing partnering with Arm using their 18A node. At 20A, Intel will be transitioning from its FinFET design over to a new type of transistor, known as a Gate-All-Around transistor, or GAAFET. In Intel’s case, the marketing name they are giving their version is RibbonFET. This is a technology that only started to come to a head in early 2020. The other arm of Intel’s 20A and onwards design is what the company is calling ‘PowerVia’. This is usually referred to as ‘backside power delivery’ in the industry. Although slightly older, we're still only talking about 2017 at the earliest.

Intel has its 2nm node (called 20A, followed by 18A six months later) lined up for production to start in the first half of 2024, which compares to TSMC’s equivalent node (called N2) which is scheduled for the second half of 2025. 18A will be half a node denser than N2, while also being 12 months earlier to market.

As to IFS as a concept, it's only recently been revamped in 2021 after a lackluster attempt in 2013 as you mentioned. So far they've announced partnerships with Arm, MediaTek, Qualcomm, AWS, and the DoD. That's a pretty heavy hitting pack, not including all of Tower Semiconductors customers. Intel wouldn't be building another 3 fabs if it wasn't serious this time about building capacity for other companies.

Show HN: This One – Discover Things You Truly Love
Hey HN! My name’s Priya and I’m helping to build a company with the mission of helping people discover things they truly love, starting with movies.

The problem: On average, it takes someone 19mins to find the right film for the mood, and most of the time that film is not the right one, with platforms optimising for other things.

Our solution: We’ve built an iPhone app that asks you what you love, identifies the "vibes" within your taste, and recommends movies that align with those vibes.

To download: Download the 'Testflight' app then click this link: http://www.this.one/hackernews

1m product demo: https://youtu.be/jHCbNvmzW6A

Our team previously helped build music-discovery at Spotify, and we’re now creating this app to help movie-lovers discover and discuss awesome films. We’re still super-early, and we’re psyched to be sharing with HN! We'd be very grateful for any feedback and questions are massively appreciated - either on HN, or you can reach me via email: priya@this.one.

Thanks in advance!
Yeah, I was thinking that 50 years ago he’d probably have had a secretary or admin person to take care of that.
They added the structured concurrency package because you still need some kind of async framework for concurrency.

Maybe the confusion is just the term "framework" as opposed to API? I don't mean a third party library is needed. The built in JDK alone is sufficient but you're still juggling promises/futures and the like.
Hebrew has two words for killing. One implies a guilty mind and the other does not. Ask a Hebrew scholar and they'll tell you that the word used for "murder" doesn't include things like military service or capital punishment. And of course, any other interpretation would be at odds with what actually happens in the rest of the Bible.
Instant compilation, single binary deploys, integrated linter, extensive standard library, and less magical performance. It's way fewer decisions and way less ceremony before you start writing actual code.

> Within Meta, there is pressure to demonstrate that people are working hard, two employees said.

Workers, especially in middle management, are being asked to justify why their jobs are crucial to Meta’s goals.

ViaScience also has a great playlist on the 'story' of quantum mechanics. I don't have much background in the field or physics in general, but the presentation and explanations in the series are (to the degree possible) followable and an incredible example of straight-forward, no frills, presentation with excellent visualizations. There are long digressions into the actual math and equations as well, though if you're just interested in the history you can skip those. Simply as a story of problem solving and imagination the story of quantum mechanics is fascinating in its own rite.

Yes, superstitions relate to supernatural things. Religion does too, in a way. That doesn’t mean it’s the same thing. Language is a lot more complex than that.

And sure, you might derogatorily refer to someone’s religion as a superstition, just like I might call someone a “pagan” even if he’s strictly speaking just a heretic.

But in reality these are all precise terms with different meanings.

To be a bit more precise, superstitions deal with more or less automatic things like receiving luck by touching some rock. If you swear to God, that is not some automatic process that will bring you luck, its a divine being with a will that presumably would be angry if you break your oath. Do you see the difference?

Crypto solves (to a degree) the problem of a huge amoount of power belonging to the few people who run the financial system. Huge consentration of power is not a good thing. Power corrupts and so on. Crypto puts everyone on equal footing - rather than say the people/companies who have a banking license enjoying an unfair advantage over everyone else (like the power to create money from thin air in the fractional reserve system).

The credit card companies, PayPal and the like get to decide which companies are worthy to exist and which not. If they don't like a business, they can just cut them off from receiving money. E.g. VPN provides who don't keep logs are all banned from receiving credit/debit card payment, PayPal, etc. - they have to resort to receiving cash by post and crypto.

There's actually a fairly big difference with the context of the language preventing the error.

If the code is wrong as in undefined behavior, then the compiler can and maybe should try to prevent it. If the programmer is wrong about the code, then the compiler can't and definitely shouldn't try to prevent it.

In short, the compiler can't prevent this

int is_empty(char* s) {
return strlen(s) > 10;
}

The compiler maybe could prevent this:

is_empty(NULL);

You missed the point: using "shared objects" would have to be explicit with "dlopen/dlsym/dlclose'.

Mixing static linking with dynamic linking was not a good idea in the first place, and I mean it.

ELF should be "fixed" about this, but to be sincere and honest, I think a lot could be removed from ELF on modern systems.

Maybe it is not worth to fix ELF, but to go something like NGELF which would be excrutiatingly simpler and cleaner than ELF, namely real and disruptive innovation.
The whole point of swearing on a Bible is for people who actually respect and fear God as the ultimate judge at the end of their lives. Otherwise they should just swear, but not on a Bible.

More importantly, the New Testament portion of the Bible teaches not to swear at all, so the whole practice is misguided.

> If you don't have that meaning behind the oath, what is the point in using a book at all unless?

Which is why it's not done in lots of places. Here it's only a sentence which is either translated "So help me God almighty" or "That I declare and promise" (pinky swear basically)

The legal meaning is that you can be held accountable to the preceding promise. Apparently God is only there to help you since you are unable to do it yourself but has no game in the promise.
Perhaps they've optimised for the normal levels of traffic they receive, not unanticpated spikes. That's hardly an embarrassing choice.

There are rituals with all sorts of meaning, individually and collectively. But if it can work individually then it can certainly work negatively too, such as with addictions. Many habits are rituals with no meaning, which is one of the reasons why people get depressed.
They get cool rings as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

I'm not Canadian, but I took some engineering classes and these oaths and rings were brought up when discussing ethics. Funnily enough we were told they were forged from the material of a collapsed bridge as a reminder to not build shitty bridges, but according to the article that's a myth.
The thing about religious people is, even if they lose their religion, they don't suddenly start committing all the wanton acts that when they were religious they insisted they only didn't do because fear of God was holding them back.

Swearing an oath is similar. You're not more or less trustworthy simply for being religious; it's just that, it you're religious, you think you are (but actually it's just based on internal factors of who you actually are and how you behave).
