As far as I can tell, this is only with cooperation of the server owner; since their "DID Placeholder" relies on a server to provide a string of identity updates. ActivityPub can do the same thing with HTTP redirects; and Mastodon supports cooperative profile redirection, which is morally equivalent.

Something is not clear, or does not make sense. Do they compare the consumption of crypto mining in the US, with the amount of power consumed by all computers in the US? How can the first be bigger than the second, which is the upper bound for any computing task in the US?

> Vascular ultrasound devices are still supported because they were expensive, and support was probably paid on top of the initial price.

I'm sure 80s and early 90s era vascular ultrasound devices are long obsolete, out of service and not supported. The point is cars are VERY expensive these day. It is ridiculous that a product that costs $35,000 has a $30/mo subscription for updates or features. This is majoring in the minors.

> pickup trucks can be so popular cars just don’t have many passengers on average

Where I live they mostly drive enormous, 4-door "pickup trucks" which can seat 5 grown adults very comfortably. While it's not quite a 7-passenger full-sized SUV, I just want to make sure you're picturing the most popular size and shape of truck when you think about pickups :D
I think he's talking about policies similar to natural gas stove bans, which ostensibly seem less concerned about addressing externalities and more concerned about imposing a choice onto others.

I really appreciate that driver developers know better than me where I use hardware, but for now I don't want to use US settings in for example Poland. Or all frequencies are tagged as not for AP use. My question is, is there any pcie card that could be used as AP?

Back in the previous century I used three VCRs as a multitrack audio recorder, I kept spending more money on synths instead getting a proper multitrack and mixer. It started out as a 6 track setup but mixdown was troublesome to say the least so I switched to a 4 track setup with bounce down. Two VCRs were recorded on and their outputs ran to a tuner which had two record ins that could be used at the same time and each even had a volume and balance control. So I would start my cheap electronic metronome, hit record on the first, hit record on the second on 16, start playing on 32. Then stick one of those tapes in the third VCR for play along and two blanks in the others, hit play and record 4 more tracks, repeat. Eventually bounce/mix them down in what could be a very long process since after the first go I could only add two tracks to the mix but the whole setup gave me a fair amount of room to play and infinite tracks as long as you did not mind the cumulative noise of all those tracks, which I did not.

The other thing which I always failed to buy was a sequencer or midi to CV interface, synths and effects were just so much more fun than recording gear. Since I could not effectively play 4 tracks worth of synth and twiddle the knobs by myself I would make control tracks on the computer, ~15khz sine wave whose level I would control for the desired pitch/effect, stick a rudimentary envelope follower on the computers output and I now had sequencing for my synths. I would make 4 of these tracks, two would be dumped onto a cassette tape which gave me 4 tracks of sequencing and essentially 4 extra hands. The envelope followers each had an LED since I could not hear the click track on them and needed a way to sync them still.

It was not great sound, snr was poor with all the bouncing down, nothing was ever quite in sync (but at least I did not have to deal with midi jitter and lag with thru's!), the tapes all wore differently and it was labor intensive but it was fun and the end result certainly had a rather characteristic sound.
Imagine if a country so small produces/exports so much food, just how "easy" it would be for the whole world (up to maybe 50b) be all fed and happy just farming.

> Is this different than the stock market?

There's a scale from "there are buyers at this market cap" (eg., suprisingly, twitter)... to "there are no buyers at this market cap".

Consider if you and I start a business which sells shares in the business (and nothing else), and we sell 1/1000 shares for $1000 -- that makes our business $1m on paper.

But is there a buyer for that $1m? Well sure, there was for SBF. Until jail, of course -- but many bought his shares in his business which sells shares in his business.

This isnt unique to crypto... crypto is just the latest incarnation whose "productive valuation dial" is close to 0%.

Why? Sensors and maneuverability matter. Being hit by a Tesla may be worse, but it does a lot to avoid hitting you.
What’s the argument for mass being a driving factor in pedestrian safety? You’re outweighed substantially by anything bigger than a moped. Certainly anything bigger than a Civic. Seems like it’d be more about body angles, visibility, and driver attentiveness.

One look at the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency subs on Reddit and it is clear, many of the people still putting in money regularly in the crypto ponzi are the ones who can least afford to lose it.
I see this all the time but it seems every time we go through a round of regulation trimming based on that premise we see the industry in question suffering issues within a couple years, and the cycle seems to just keep getting tighter.

The 90s/early 00s cut back banking regulation and then we had the 08 crash. Trump rolled back some rail regulations and now we've got serious incidents happening there. Of course businesses hate the regulations they're generally preventing profitable but very risky behaviors with externalities beyond the business that's taking the risk.

Combine that with Supreme Court decisions that have limited courts abilities to punish companies when they do mess up by limiting things like punitive damages and the picture gets bleak for any option other than up front, very paperwork heavy regulation.

If we could trust businesses to actually follow rules and not take disastrous short cuts to make a buck maybe we could have a less heavy handed regulatory system but time and time again shows voluntary compliance or self regulation isn't a viable option.

> It was founded in New Zealand

Yes I know. But that is literally irrelevant.

> New Zealand headquarters

No its not.

The US is where their head quarters is, its where their engine production is, and lots of other subsystems too, it where much of its sat division is, its where they are developing the Neutron rocket. One if its two launch pads is in the US.

RocketLab is an American company that builds some structures in New Zealand and has a launch pad there.

I don't know why its so fucking hard for people to operate Wikipedia.

I am not saying this to discredit RocketLab, its a simple statement of fact.
Ask HN: Is there a “simple C++” language trimmed down to something “modern”?
C++ seems to have a ton of stuff that you can probably ignore.

Honestly I think it's gotten to the point we need to start asking these hard questions about Mozilla. And yes Mozilla's c-suite pays themselves far above what they deserve and far above industry norms for an alleged open-source project. I've become convinced Mozilla has been hijacked by the executive board and are essentially accepting a bribe from Google to not compete in the browser market or at best Mozilla absolutely and absurdly mismanaged. Mozilla gutted the Firefox dev team. Where is the money going? Other major open-source projects run successfully on a fraction of Mozilla's budget. What is even the purpose of Mozilla anymore?
Nice! Thanks for sharing. The digital experiments mentioned also sound interesting, but there is something about the imminence of physical media that captivates me.

Carmakers are pushing the most expensive high margin vehicles for electrification in general. It's frustrating if you care about the end goal of getting carbon emissions drastically down in a reasonable time frame. Lower end vehicles and the used vehicle market are super important to meet that goal.
Human vehicles also eventually fix problems by bending or breaking the law if necessary.
I think I would agree that they might've been doing something else internally if they were simply saying that F9 wasn't effective to reuse (like ULA had said at one point).

But they had been arguing that it wasn't worth pursuing for themselves, arguing that they didn't need to launch that often. That, to me, comes off as a bit more honest since they're not really saying anything positive about themselves.
I'm confused. Ariane 6 has nothing to do with rocket landings. Ariane 6 was never and could never be a reusable rocket.

I had an Uber driver in upstate New York who was trying to get me to agree or at least not disagree with the superiority of the white "race". I had another driver in Oakland California who would not relent until I acknowledged God is real and I should be thankful for his love. I felt massive cognitive dissonance afterwards feeling both the requirement to report these drivers but also massive guilt at the non-zero chance I was depriving them of one if not the last potential for work available to them. I decided not to report either but still reflect on whether that was a good choice or not.

Edit: to be totally clear: I did not agree in either situation, but tried to gracefully divert or redirect without escalating the situation. I didn't confront as, frankly, I wasn't sure if the person would have responded violently.

Uber is valuable, but I have kind of accepted the premise that an Uber drive is just a public transit experience with a customized destination. I should expect some potentially weird and possibly unpleasant interactions as part of the process.

I would 100% convert to Waymo only away from Uber just based on those two experiences and dozens if not hundreds of generally positive Uber experiences.

An electric SUV is typically about 100-500lbs heavier than a comparable ICE SUV, lets not exaggerate.

The Hummer is an outlier and is gross.
Words not used in the article- “demand”, “consumer”, “want”, “customer”.

Carmakers are pushing electric SUVs because that’s what the (highest margin) customers want and will pay for.

It world be worth tweaking public policy to change incentives (provide more subsidies the more energy efficient the car is) but blaming auto manufacturers for chasing demand and profits is a food errand.

Right now the highly efficient low cost market segment seems like it is better served by traditional hybrids and plug in hybrids- you can get a Hyundai Elantra hybrid at 56 mpg for $24550 MSRP or a plug in Prius for $30k. Of course there is still the Nissan leaf, starting at $28k for a true BEV still.

As component costs (read batteries) come down and manufacturing capabilities go up, I think you’ll be back to seeing more BEVs at the low end, but right now the manufacturers are chasing the premium customer with what they’ve got.

I don't think the issue will be hiding that you have the money. That's almost trivial. The person next to you on the bus could have a huge amount of money but until they start spending, you have no way of knowing.

However, given the size of the payment, it must be possible to work out what enforcement this award is related to. Once that is established, the court documents should reveal the potential whistleblower's identity.
Keep in mind that all the major source on crypto, including the top dozen popular textbooks I could find on amazon -- and many "academic" looking papers -- are written by people profoundly invested in selling crypto.

All crypto news is press releases from crypto companies. All crypto ideas are rehearsed sales pitches with no arguments or evidence. You should assume anything written on crypto which hypes it is a lie. You should investigate the site/author, and -- I'd predict -- you'll find that every single time it links back to people with profound economic incentives to lie to you.

For BTC, you have 400,000 addresses used daily transacting about 300,000 transactions. This is trivial to obtain as a public record. How many of those addresses are associated with only one individual?

If i wanted to simulate millions of users I could do so only with a trivial amount of money. What is a "user"? It's just an address. There are no "users" on the chain.

There are 70mil addresses on BTC, I believe. How fast could an interested party double that? Pretty quick.

These numbers, absent hard-hitting empirical data, should be regarded as fraud. They're made up, either at the level of the press release, or by technical manipulation. Eg., by moving lots of money around a few accounts to manipulate figures.

This is a system which maps, at least provably and publicly, to the entire daily economy of a small town. And it's energy usage is measured in 10^12
