> The paper literally says, "75% of the real bitcoin volume has been linked to exchanges or exchange-like entities"

Which is an entirely different metric than the % of bitcoin volume that's speculation. If I link a paper that says "1% of squirrels are albino", and I claim that it says that 1% of bitcoin trading is speculative, then I'm not "bringing objective data to the conversation"... I'm just lying

My original comment was

What do you think the ratio of speculation and illegal activity to legitimate use cases is? I'd be willing to be it's greater than 10:1, maybe even 100:1

You responded by lying and trying to shut down any actual data-driven discussion

> You don't have to bet, the data is in the paper I linked. 75% of bitcoin volume is speculation.

And then you have the audacity to ask for a source on the claim that "currency speculators make up a tiny portion of the real-world economy"? How many people do you know who are participants in the real world economy (should be literally everyone you've ever met), and how many of them are FX speculators?

Now compare that to crypto, where the entire marketing apparatus is built not upon its current value proposition but instead the idea that value will go up.

Why would I spend my time digging up data to quantify things are incredibly obvious from observation, when you're willing to lie and make up facts to support your narrative?
A combination of Grafana, a custom API and integration with Excel and HealthKit would be my choices.

I concur that fragmentation kills our ability to custom-build these tools. I'm in the same position, I want to gather and have a single glass pane view of my meds, glucose, A1C, Weight, Exercise, Doctor Visits/Notes and Lab results.

I'll jot this down on my PARA inbox. ;)
To my big frustration, yes. I'd like international payments to use a similar system. It's why I don't buy from Amazon and avoid other webshops that don't support this. Fortunately Steam and GOG.com do. As do all the Dutch webshops. But Lego.com unfortunately does not.

I worked on something in the space and one of the challenges we ran into was pulling data from Apple Health. At the time there was no API (haven't checked recently) so if we wanted that data we would have needed to build an app. There were companies that had apps/APIs but the price seemed to start at $30k which didn't make sense for us.

Context: we were mostly focused on activity metrics.
Buy one (or all) of the popular reddit apps. Applo said they would sell for 10M (to reddit, but seems like they would come around on this too).

Rearchitect the app to point it at the new site instead of reddit.

Model it after Wikipedia's monetization. Never advertise, maybe some monetization through reddit gold style status things you can buy but mostly keep the lights on by begging for money a couple times a year.

Make it nonprofit like Wikimedia foundation.

Keep reddit's structure of subdirectories. Replace the UI with what the app looks like.

Keep costs low initially by having videos and images hosted off site, text only.

Hard to say if this would make enough money to keep the lights on but would be interesting to see it attempted.

China’s Inflation Problem? It Has None
I assumed it's also an easy trap to fall in to if you start to write down pros/cons in a list when you discuss / strategize where to invest your next effort to increase profit. Effort to optimize current thing, have a lot of pros and few cons, so very low risk. Something that could cannibalise current profit might have few bullet points at the pros list vs the cons, even if that one bullet point might be substantially bigger in the effect.

Sony had the technology(mp3 players, phone, etc) and competence to be the first one to invent the smartphone. But I can't imagine in a risk averse culture, that a boardroom would listen to someone that would come in a suggest something that cannibalise multiple divisions in the company, in the promise that it would generate more profit, vs each divisions proposal of how to optimize their already existing profits.

Yeah it's a bizarre claim. I've described HN as a single, usually really good, subreddit before but it's absolutely not a replacement for the entire site.
I live in the UK and always thought UHT milk was horrible. Recently I spent some time in Spain where all the milk is UHT (presumably because of the climate). At some point I realised I couldn't tell the difference, or at least it wasn't horrible. However, I was only consuming it heated up, like in a café con leche. Maybe that's why GP can't taste the difference?
In a similar vein, John Kraus (Of Antennas... textbook fame) described a gravitational transmitting and receiving system as a fun (?) diversion near the end of the book.

It has been a few years, but I seem to recall that the transmitter was a 500T steel bar spun at very close to the maximum RPM the tensile strength of steel allowed; the radiated energy was something like a fraction of an attowatt. (An attowatt = 1*10^-18W)

There are more efficient transmitting schemes out there.
It punted on the request, which is to be fair what I also would do.

> Writing out an exact state of a multi-threaded program line-by-line is inherently challenging due to the inherent unpredictability of thread scheduling. However, I can provide an abstracted example of the flow of execution based on the order of operations in the code. Here is a simplified breakdown:

> x, y, z are instantiated as new X(), _staticCount is 0 for all, _memberCount is 0 for each individually.

> x.Stuff(4) is called.

> Inside Stuff(), check if input <= 0, it's not, hence, skip.

> Create new Thread with lambda function and start it.

> In the new thread, Stuff(input - 1) recursively calls Stuff(3).

> This recursion continues until Stuff(0) is called, returning _staticCount + 1 which is 1.

> This recursion unwinds, incrementing _staticCount and _memberCount at each level.

> After the thread finishes, call Stuff(input - 1) again and add it to _memberCount, effectively doubling the _memberCount.

> Return the final value for Stuff(4) for x.

> Repeat the above steps for y.Stuff(3) and z.Stuff(2).

> Write the sum of resultX, resultY, and resultZ to the console.

> Please note that due to the nature of multi-threaded execution, there is a risk of race conditions. The Interlocked.Add method is used to help prevent these race conditions by making the increment operations atomic. Also, keep in mind that the state of _staticCount after all calls to the Stuff method will be dependent on the interleavings of the threads, and hence, not deterministic.

You are completely missing my point. When I have C code and compile it, I will have opcodes which processor can run. All my bugs are going to happen only in C code and I can debug those using one debugging probe.

When I have embedded scripting, then I have C code which represents my VM and I have also scripts. Then I am hunting for a bug in C code and script itself. I need two debugging stacks to get the problem solved.
Sure you can say that I can run scripts on my PC, but what if everything works on my PC, but the moment I will load it on the target, script will crash? Then without proper debugger I am screwed.

I really like my Casio LCW-M100TSE [1]. It's a (mostly) analog watch with a solar cell, radio receiver and led backlight. Keeps perfect time (radio sync), never needs charging, battery changing or winding, has a titanium case and titanium band so is incredible light but nearly indestructable, and looks good without being overly pretentious or a statement of wealth. And most importantly, doesn't interrupt me with notifications when I'm trying to concentrate. As watches go, I think it's as close to perfect as any watch I've had. Never would have thought that as I got older and wealthier, I'd end up back with Casio 40 years after having Casio watches as a teenager, but there you are.

I don't know. I do not dislike Van Gogh, and his life certainly was colourful. To me, when I think of Van Gogh, more than any intrinsically gifted artist (I think this of Dalí, for instance) I think of the time that chose him.

He was ignored all his life and only later he was a hero of individuality. The romantic idea of a struggling artist. I am not saying technically it was not interesting (maybe the materic painting comes from something like his thick paint technique) but Goya, for example, could claim similar things.

Overall, I think it is the best example of a struggling artist where the story of his life matters more than the paintings. I hope it does not seem insensitive.

Undefined Behaviour has to actually happen, and so that means at runtime†, and thus what you wrote is not a valid C compiler.

For C++ IFNDR ("Ill-formed, No diagnostic required") the situation is trickier because the affected programs (some unknowable but likely large proportion of all purported C++ code) are not well formed C++, the standard offers no hint as to what happens or why, since it constrains only the behaviour of a C++ compiler for well formed C++ programs.

† It's possible the C lexer claims to have some "Undefined Behaviour" cases like the C++ lexer, hence P2621 "UB? In my lexer?" which is a reference to a 2005 meme because C++ standards committee members are down with the kids, but that's clearly a standards text bug if so because it makes no sense to have UB in the lexer, these should just be ill-formed programs, you get a compiler error.

> Besides Mozilla, who had Vorbis native support in their browser?

Pretty much everyone who implemented HTML5 audio for a few years, while MP3 support in the browser was initially barely heard of? Mozilla, Google, Opera, KHTML, WebKit... Safari and IE were the only outliers, and had tiny minority of market share for a while (not counting versions that didn't support HTML5 audio at all). Today only mobile Safari is still an outlier.

You couldn't use MP3 without Vorbis fallback on the Web for about a decade. Whenever you played audio in the browser without using Flash on anything else than iPhone, chances that it was Vorbis were very high for a good while. YouTube used it in WebM before switching to Opus. In fact, even AAC gained reasonable support on the Web earlier than MP3 did.

In practice, although very popular, MP3 was nowhere near universally supported until just a few years ago. I know that pretty well - I have posted patches to some projects that enabled MP3 support once its patents expired myself; I've also used to maintain websites based on HTML5 audio since 2009.

Yes, I used to be. I was remote and made (before leaving) a bit over 100k USD, so their are solid jobs out there. There's still a lot of software running PHP. There are two (probably more) types of PHP projects though:

1. Well architected and testable code that is essentially dynamic Java and gets to have all of the great additions that PHP has added over the years.

2. Adhoc PHP scripts strewn about a file system that call into the DB directly or with a bad abstraction layer that's untestable.

The former is a great experience. The latter is not. I moved to different languages not out of hate for PHP, but due to the latter type being too common and me being stuck in one. I realized I'm so much happier working in a code base that has structure and is testable.

If it matters ethically, then asking the question already provides the answer because foregoing actions which might be gotten away with is what it means to act ethically.

If it matters legally pay your attorney for legal advice, because there is no government agency that enforces licenses, the degree to which a license matters is the degree to which someone is willing to lawyer up.

I think the people that we are arguing with don't understand that being a moderator of a subreddit isn't just about being able to ban people. It's about being a leader of a community.

You decide rules and shape the "culture" of the subreddit. Yes, there are absolutely people who are moderators and on insane power trips. That's always been a thing, for every form of online community I've ever known of (IRC, forums, etc...) But there are also many who view the role differently. That's why moderators of subreddits like r/programmerhumor, a meme subreddit that is also a place for programmers (specifically newer programmers) to blow off steam and joke about things they're stressed out about believe they have the power to shut down the subreddit permanently and Reddit will not "bring it back."

If Reddit crosses that line and brings subreddits back, installing puppet leaders who on earth is going to invest time into building a community on Reddit again? Knowing it can be yanked from them at an arbitrary whim - not even for breaking moral rules, but for threatening profits. This is a much more delicate balance than the commenters are painting it as. They clearly don't understand why Reddit works and seem to think it's pure network effect that has consolidated things away from independent forums.

When people talk about googling something and adding "reddit" as a keyword, it's because they want to read authentic discussion from real people about a topic - and sometimes a topic that is somewhat obscure - not an SEO optimized landing page that's going to ask for their email and try to sell them something.

That only exists in communities that are curated and participated in by people who care about them. Removing that removes the core of Reddit's being.
>on account of not having moderation at all

I think you may be making a mistake....

Years ago I had to manage SMTP servers. Of course a huge part of that is dealing with spam. Users were mad about how much spam they got and asked if "I was even doing my job". In one particular users case, they did get a lot of spam, and it was a pain in the ass to deal with and they always had lots of complaints. So I showed them for ever 3 messages they received I blocked somewhere near 1000 messages to their address.

If you've never been on that side of the system you don't know what 'not having moderation at all' looks like, but I can tell you it looks far, far, far worse than YT psts.

Man there are a lot here. I got to read a few of these sagas (in English) years ago and many of them are fun. Think crazy soap opera but with swords, boats and bows and all before 1000AD. Somebody else recommended the Saga of Erik the Red and the Greenland Saga. Those are great.

For an early look at democracy vs mob rule the The Story of Burnt Njal is great.

For great poetry[1], adventurism and, well, funny-shaped heads, Egil's Saga is also great.

If I remember, a lot of the Sagas will reference other ones, and the style definitely gives you the sense that they were spoken for centuries before they were written down. It's also worth noting that many (most?) were written down by Christians based on the tellings. Some people think the outlook of the Christians writing down these mostly-pagan tales comes through a little more than the original telling. Sorry I don't have a source for that.

If I remember correctly many Icelanders can trace their ancestry back to the subjects of some of these Sagas.

If you decide to read some, what I found was that I was mostly lost in the first saga, but by the third or fourth in a row the style started making more sense. It gets immersive.
