I don't think any modern (post-1600AD) bank ever just kept depositors money ready for withdrawal.

Mixing shareholder equity with depositor funds is a totally different thing. In general, depositors are a bank's most senior creditors (they get money before the electric bill gets paid) and shareholders are the least senior (they only get money after ever single other bill is paid). Mixing these funds makes a mess of that promise and should rightfully reduce trust that Binance would be willing or able to pay depositors in a crisis.
Removing security features that don't work is a separate concern from making security features that do work. Nobody who has done any serious work on PyPI security in the past 15 years thinks that GPG will play a part in the future of PyPI security. It's support was entirely vestigial, served no practical purpose, and never would.
And I asked what about other emission sources, you're now evading the question. Concrete as an example for something that's not a "fuel" and yet its production is responsible for a significant portion of C02 emissions. Why would you just ignore this, the carbon debate in the general public is clearly not based on rationality and understanding, such a "carbon tax" would be a complete misnomer.

> What's fascinating is that the "right" answer was not clear here.

I think you've misidentified the problem. The issue has nothing to do with the applicant, and everything to do with a team culture that would find it 'disruptive' to have a member who was young/female/attractive.

The right answer is to work on fixing that culture.
> When the war started there were no talking what's so ever about NATO expansion to Ukraine.

You were replying to a comment that’s clearly referring to current or recent talk of Ukraine joining NATO at the time of the invasion.

> In the present, the secretary general of NATO Jens Stoltenberg has said "Let me be clear: Ukraine’s rightful place is in the Euro-Atlantic family. Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. And over time, our support will help you make this possible.”

Yes, obviously things are different now. Ukraine may very well be the next step in the NATO expansion that Putin has imposed upon himself.
I always knew Broadcom as "that company that makes WiFi+BT chipsets that are a pain to use under Linux", vs Qualcomm "the company that dominates the Android ARM SoC market".
It has midi out and presents itself as a USB audio interface. So if you go into the menu on the YDP itself and turn off the local sound, you can connect it to your laptop via USB and play virtual instruments on it, with the audio going right back out to the YDP's speakers.

I thought that was super cool when I realized that.
In general, nostalgia grows in potency when the current conditions are problematic or stressful. It's a kind of escapism.

I think this accounts for a lot of it.
That's not the story on Wikipedia.

Microsoft entered into negotiations with Stac Electronics to licence Stacker, but the deal fell though (allegedly, Stac claim that Microsoft didn't offer any money, just the right to sell enhancement products).

So Microsoft instead licensed a competing product called DoubleDisk from Vertisoft. So of course MS didn't pay anything to Stac Electronics, but presumably Vertisoft was compensated (hopefully fairly, we haven't heard otherwise... But this is Microsoft)

Stac later successfully sued MS for patient infringement, which is where the story about Microsoft alleged "no cash licensing" offer came from.
> The fact that the past keeps growing.

A slightly different twist: an ever increasing fraction of the hacking that we might want to talk about was in the past or is tied to the past (e.g. retrocomputing). The industry has grown, but it has also become more corporate and business-focused. Normal users, and even most programmers, don't "hack" in the traditional sense of finding clever solutions or workarounds to make computers do novel things. Some of it's just plain, fairly obvious programming, fitting pieces together more than actually creating. Even ChadGPT can do that, which is why younger programmers who don't remember real hacking are so easily impressed by it. Then there's a lot that's not technical at all, but more about arbitrage and rent collecting ... oops, sorry, I meant markets and business models. Not about abusing people's privacy or ripping them off, no sir, none of that in VC-fueled Silicon Valley for sure. But it's still not hacking.

It's not that hacking doesn't still occur. Plenty still does, perhaps even more than ever, but it's no longer enough to keep up with the ever lengthening arc of computing history. As a proportion it's less, so those who are interested in such things look more and more to the past.
This is actually happening already to a degree. Due to the pandemic work situation and inflation, many lower paying sectors had better wage growth (or at least less real wage loss). Not a large change, but a slight shift.
> Do you have links to those computer models?

You're more than capable of doing this research yourself.

> with a passenger per car the space use is still drastically less efficient

Sorry, this simply isn't the metric for success. It might be your metric, but it certainly isn't the population's metric. A lot of people want to travel comfortably in cars, "mindless pursuit of space efficiency" be damned.

Ubiquitous self-driving vehicles will allow us to eventually eliminate most congestion, and you're just going to have to accept that cars aren't going anywhere.
Nowhere?

You can get weaker jails, that are more likely to get in your way, on Linux and other platforms that "just work-ish" though [1].

Default jails on Linux with Firejail really is just install the application and run a single command, to jail everything it knows about. Or just create symlinks manually to be more selective. Not a high bar.

Having the ability to customize means not having to change the way I do things to conform to the whims of some random company. Jails that "just work", but do not allow customization are jailing the user too.

[1] You will need to adjust the way you work to the way the jails are setup by default. Some things you may want to do will not work at all, or not in the way you want them to. Many things will not be as extensively jailed as you might like. Applies to any of, Android, iOS, Firejail, etc., using defaults.
If nothing is done, lootboxes will become larger than traditional gambling due to the size of the video game market, if it is not already [0]. Taking on Nintendo is the best way to strike the belly of the beast and will set a better precedent than targeting adult-centric games (which are actually played by teens).

[0] US gambling ~$100B, video games ~$60B. But in Vegas the house takes 0.5%-10%, and in loot boxes the house takes 100%
Each one of these things is worth adopting by itself, if adopting all of them at the same time is intimidating.

Item 5 can be interpreted in more than one way, though, so I think it's worth digging into. At a fundamental level, with virtually no tradeoffs, it's important not to be crowded by dirty dishes while you cook. If you're worried about your elbow bumping a water glass while you chop onions, or if you have to reach around a dirty mixing bowl to find the garlic, it's going to slow you down, both physically and mentally. Keeping your workspace tidy pays back every second many times over.

Taking "clean while you cook" even further, you can try to save time by scrubbing pans and bowls as you are finished with them. This is extremely appealing for busy people, but how feasible it is depends on what you're making, how much work and attention it requires, and how fast you are. It's a rare triumph for me if I can put three dishes on the table with no dirty dishes in the kitchen. I've done this, but much more often, I've messed up dishes when my attention got hijacked by scrubbing a pan that I could have left for later. If you feel rushed or stressed while cooking, you can give yourself breathing room by getting the dirty stuff out of the way in the easiest possible manner, even if that means stacking it to clean it later.
Isn't that the grandparent's point though? Features that other languages have are first considered "not beneficial" and are in fact mocked as being useless or extravagant. Then, once said feature is introduced to one's favourite language, the feature is considered useful and it turns out that maybe those other languages had a reason for including them beyond mere extravagance.

If a bank failure like SVB was not covered ad-hoc and out of policy by FDIC, the economic impact of thousands of companies suddenly going bankrupt and tens of thousands more pulling out of other banks across the country would probably be pretty significant, even though the majority of the country isn’t directly vulnerable to FDIC limits.

> When Windows 95 was being developed, MS kept telling Lotus (and maybe Word Perfect) that OS/2 was the real future, so

Microsoft's committment to OS/2 ended with Windows 3.0. But until 3.0, they themselves believed OS/2 was the (imperfect) future.

Windows 3.0's ability to use protected mode on a 286 changed it all.

https://www.landley.net/history/mirror/ms/davidweise.html

> Lotus was focusing on a GUI version of their main product for OS/2.

Lotus and Wordperfect both spent a lot developing for almost every platform other than Windows. It always surprised me that they never had even a fallback for Windows for their main products, given how dependent they each were on a single product.
At the time I was learning Haskell it didn’t have structs I think and there were many different extensions of Haskell. Also I always got the sense it was an academic language and articles discussing it were very advanced and hard to read and just not applicable to my problems. And the code was very terse and hard to read.
Bitcoin addressed at most one issue in finance, without properly tying it to the financial crisis, and since then has reinvented all the others in a massive Chesterton's Fence speedrun. It's been nothing but "oh, so that's why the rules are that way" since then.
I don’t think the moral bandwagon really has anything to do with it, to be honest.

They keep firing or abusing the talent, and the people left over make poor decisions.

For instance, Disney+ launched without any content that would appeal to parents, then went all puritanical on Daryl Hannah’s butt. In top of that, it was a middle-of-the-road offering for the under 10 crowd. I’m not really sure who that product was supposed to appeal to. Maybe teenage boys like watching angsty superhero dramas?

Roughly partitioning kids cartoons from a gen-x / millennial perspective, we have:

- loony tunes (thankfully torrents still exist)

- Disney movies up to and including Beauty and the Beast

(Most of the above are somewhat culturally dated, but more kid appropriate than, say, adult swim)

- Pixar up to the Disney acquisition and third party American animation.

- Kid’s Anime

- Whatever garbage Disney produced more recently (yes, there are a half dozen exceptions, but it is almost all direct to DVD or mediocre theater releases, and I am too busy to sift through the large library of “meh”).

Disney+ is still missing third party and anime. At launch, it was missing a bunch of older Disney and Pixar stuff.

The remaining category in my list is “mostly crap, with a few gems”.

Hell, even HBO+ has more/higher-quality kid-friendly content.

Corporate ethics for the two companies in recent years have both been dismal from a red and blue perspective.

I wish we’d go back to having reasonable copyright expiration windows, so that there was some ethical and also legal means to procure movies for the kids.
make that few hundred thousand years ago. We were probably much more fragile then, but still doubtful any other animal could
I agree with the general point but I suspect marketing has been around in some form for longer. Branding at least certainly has been.
It also can be a 'profound life safer' to youth people which live has been saved by the internet warn.

It also helps a lot with democracy as it's much harder for autocratic states (or governments aspiring to become such) to censor and mute the news about their bad deeds.

The main problem I'm seeing is not "social media" but how exactly it is implemented, often stuffed full of dark patterns designed to lead to addictive behavior and nearly always with no consequence to people which try to use it for scams (targeting young people) harassment and similar.

IMHO we need laws to ban "dark patterns" and "engineered addiction" as well as a system to handle and reduce harassment and other abuse. That alone might make enough difference to make any further steps unnecessary. But to be safe early (and reoccurring) education about social media, social media hygiene, and media manipulation would be excellent additions. Just not seeing most governments doing the later point, as it probably would mean them not getting elected again in the future.

Another "problem" is that the internet in general allow young people to relatively early see how messed up the world is and at the same time how the people in power often double down on it to gain more power then to fix it. This can lead to a feeling of helplessness and despair young people preferably should not be exposed to. At the same time denying them access to the truth doesn't seem right either. In the end despair and helplessness are like poison, it is what drives people to suicide and it is also what often is a major factor for weather or not a "bad situation" becomes a trauma or not.
Yeah, it's not a matter of the "culture" at all. It's just a matter of low pay, long hours, and minuscule chances of job security and advancement.

(He says as he writes his thesis and prepares to start his postdoc.)
I don’t think 200 years ago is enough time. Humans already had centrally fortified positions (castles), cannons, guns etc. heck the Gatling gun was already 162 years ago. You need to go further back but that would likely just extend the inevitable as humans extend their technological advantage where the elephants aren’t (eg colder climates which is where a lot of tech advancement happened). So for them to actually defend against humans they’d need to similarly be able to do tech which their morphology prevents them from engaging in really. There’s also the other problem that they’re territorial but not expansionist. They’re not like lions that capture and defend large swathes of territory either. They just protect their herd / fight elephants for territory which makes sense because they’re not predators like we are. In other words, not only do they need richer communication to organize (which arguably they probably do to some extent), they need to have a complete change in how they’ve evolved to think about the world in terms of hunting like a pack / developing military strategy. Humans are annoyingly adaptable and dangerous and will adapt military techniques (and by the 1800s we’ve had millennia of fine tuning armies)
If I understand correctly, the proposed act restricts the use of spyware, and apparently some actors want to keep some loopholes.

The title reads like the EU wants to allow uses of spyware that were not allowed before, but I cannot infer that from the very limited information given in this article.
> I just recently read that heat pumps are beating gas furnaces already

In general, no. For a few select usecases, yes - particularly highly insulated newbuilds which need very small systems (heat pumps miniaturize better than furnaces).
My experience has mostly been that people with non-performance music degrees are very comfortable with the idea of theory as a communication tool based on certain practices & expectations that has sharp limitations when going outside of them. With some powerful exceptions of course.

From what I've seen it's mostly amateur experts and single-tradition performers that have the prescriptive "top down" view of theory. If you're actually playing a lot of different types of music with a lot of different types of musicians you just can't avoid noticing what doesn't fit into it.

The integration of LLMs with compilers. ChatGPT is useful as is for writing code given a prompt in English, but often the code for a compiled language needs some tweaks before it will compile, which ChatGPT can provide given the compiler error message(s). Integrating ChatGPT with a compiler such such as gcc, to eliminate the manual cutting and pasting, is low-hanging fruit.
Surprised to see a sentiment like this on HN. Are you actually OK with government and finance controlling the financial system and making rules that you have to follow? What if you wanted to buy something that's illegal in your country?
What are your specific concerns with the advice given in the social media warning?
That’s a particularly hot take but I think it’s interesting. Lots of actual honest to goodness damage to the very fabric of society in recent years was done by adults using this tech, not adolescent girls.

I understand Protecting The Children, but I can also sympathize with them pointing to us and saying “What the F have you been up to old man? Done destroying the world already? Lets focus on other things rather than controlling us for our supposed own sake.”
Thanks! We believe we have a practical, viable approach to provide an Alexa equivalent (or better) experience with self-hosted privacy and control. Not to mention all of the other stuff you can do with WIS :).
Your link doesn't go through for me, but this page[1] says

Which, apart from some grammatical confusion, is pretty clear. It looks like they have GPT-3, but GPT, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 are all still pending.

I believe current terminology for that is "hallucination". Organic LLMs hallucinate answers and can't provide sources for their thoughts.

How do you define beat? Outselling?
You're probably not thinking hard enough here.
This makes no sense to me. What does computability have to do with semantic expressiveness? You've demonstrated that English can generate every sequence of tokens, not that it can express every concept.

When people grow older they tend to recall the days when they had more fun, more energy and less burden. It's nature.

There are many ways to a cease fire, and one of them is an immediate withdrawal by Russia from all occupied territories.
I think we lost the thread here. I wasn't suggesting Lars had millisecond-level intrinsic timing and an innovative approach to music theory. I was rejecting the idea that this beat came from incompetence. I think developing an interesting groove and being able to play it consistently in a song, and in live performances for years is evidence of drumming competence.

Small startups don't need contract management until they reach a point and then they wish they started doing it from day 1. :)

"hyper-standardized contracts" I suggest you take a look at the app! While our terms are immutable, the contracts can be heavily customized. So instead of hunting down a random word in a PDF you can focus on the things the material changes from agreement to agreement.
I'm not talking about any specific drama, and I didn't go digging anything up. I'm just talking about what's actually happened to the language: it has been 2.5 years since a single bug was fixed. That suggests that the creator is (contrary to the person I replied to) not working on it any more.

I couldn't care less about the creator or his drama, but I am a bit sad that a language with so much potential has been dropped instead of being handed over to the community.

Weird, I just this morning was looking at my Push 2 and thought "I wonder when they'll make a standalone Push 3".

The price is a lot higher than I was expecting. I'd definitely love to not be tied to the computer, but in reality I'm in most instances going to be next to a laptop. Hard to say if it's worth it.

Edit: I do love that if you buy the cheaper model, you can still upgrade it to add a hard drive and processor later. That's a great feature.
Inasmuch as PGP signatures are rarely used and even more rarely useful, I don't think it's a problem to remove them and replace them with nothing. If it is a problem, it's been a problem for a long time and it's not really making the situation meaningfully worse to remove them.

That said, if PGP signatures are to be replaced then there's no reason why they can't be removed now and replaced with something later.
Been there, done that...

It's such a shame, as the early years of mobile gaming were a lot of fun, but the market decided it'd rather have ad-ridden near-gambling exploitative F2P so long as it was labelled as 'FREE', rather than pay $1-5 or so for a small-but-complete game :(

And all the games from the early years of the iPhone are gone. You can't keep a game on the App Store any more without basically committing yourself to updating it indefinitely.
Not the original commenter, but: In certain countries transactions take about 2 days to be reflected. In most digital payments, the payment networks (visa/mastercard/amex) take a cut of 1-2.5% of the total payment value which is a large percentage of profit for a small establishment. The bank APIs are inconsistent are a huge mess to manage so including the regulatory barriers, if a new payment solution wants to come up , it's a lot of money , time and work. On top of that , different countries have different API standards.

There's value to be had in payment solutions and banking solutions being decoupled . Banks should more deal with lending and deposits , injecting cash flows into the economy , insuring deposits, etc. Payments should be , well, payments similar to from a wallet, with less regulation overall.
