In bitcoin software contributors can propose changes to the protocol and software, but they have no absolute power since they can just be rejected by the miners, who are not paid directly from bitcoin raising in price, but from fees from the operation of the network itself. So there is no organization or entity promising returns for owning bitcoin.

In Ethereum, a centralized group of people put together a public sale of the token, promising great returns in exchange due to their visionary ideas. This is all perfectly fine, except they didn't register their sale as a security and companies touching Ethereum and other tokens continue to not follow security rules; which involve for instance disclosures about ownership and conflicts of interest. Ethereum is an extremelly centralized business with a few key figures with an interest in the appreciation of the asset, advertising it illegally to a US audience without following US laws.
> Within components, I also agree but I've found it hard to push back when a design calls for scrollbars because the alternative is... what?

Accessibility. Mention that blind users will be unable to utilize the site without a lot of additional work and you can usually kill it dead.

Custom scrollbars are such a niche thing that usually nobody is married to the idea - I've found it quite easy in the past to kill off those sorts of weird quirks in design with just that word... If you still have issues mention that mobile browsers often do a lot of customization around bounce scrolling and the like. Building this design choice out now likely means that whenever Apple releases a new phone it's quite possible that your site look antiquated and requires some major reworks.

The original post bemoaned the fact that the economy has become too concentrated to a handful of companies and is too protective of large corporations.

I took this to mean that capitalism would better work as intended if UPS was not allowed to grow to be as big as they are. They would then be a regional player themselves, one of many, and it would be easier for one or more other similarly sized companies to take over their business if they drop the ball. There would be a real competitive market.

The scenario you mentioned is the current state of affairs, where such a large company cannot be replaced, and can hold the economy hostage.

The stock price would seem to suggest it's a long way from being a company-ending event, otherwise it would be $5 instead of $50. one of the nice things about the EMH is it gives a good heuristic of assessing how important or serious something is, just by looking at how the stock price reacts, without having to understand the actual details. much of the problem has to do with staking.
Sorry, I haven't done any color critical work and am unsure of the specs.

If you're wondering about passthrough it's pretty good for most things but is definitely missing the dynamic range of the human eye, which no video camera or display can really match yet. Like a super bright light might just show up as white and you can look directly at it no problem. Basically the same as what you get when you record a video and watch it back on your phone.
On the contrary, I'm completely in favor of custom CSS scrollbars because it's unimaginable that websites could do worse than modern OSes already do when it comes to scrollbars. If anyone here has a time machine, immediately after you've finished killing Hitler may I recommend that you gently persuade Jony Ive away from the terrible decision to make scrollbars hidden, low contrast, and impossibly thin.
I hate to nitpick, but when the https://chunk.run/ start button is typoed "Strat Now", I have to wonder how many corners were cut to launch 9 startups in a year.
Why do you feel that way? The important part of a community is the people, so it seems to me that any area where people can meet can form a community
Yeah agreed; at least heroin sales don’t directly fund nuclear weapons programs in North Korea, enable gigantic ransomware attacks on innocent civilians, or generate massive carbon emissions+e-waste in order to continue existing.
Interesting that all your links never describe more than a single person or at most “15-20”. I have lived in Florida for more than four decades with family roots here going back to the 1930s…I can count on one hand with fingers leftover the number times I have encountered a “nazi”.

But hey, feel free to stay away if you think you are gonna be surrounded by those assholes. You won’t be of course, because despite what the media and others might claim, Florida is pretty damned diverse and a quick visit to pretty much anywhere here would reveal that.
I wonder how far off we are from something like the battle school game from the book Ender's Game. That is, an immersive video game that uses player actions, choices, exploration etc. in order to generate not only new content, but entirely new game rules on the fly. It feels like we're getting closer and closer to Ender's holographic terminal with VR interfaces + AI content.

Yeah, I used some pretty weird wording but the point I wanted to make is that it was so deeply implied that you didn't even think about it as a factor. You work where you are, period.
Their website makes it pretty clear that the device is for writing, editing, note taking, and sketching. And it is meant for focus and workflow. Backlight is great for reading, but backlight increases latency and eye strain.

That’s why it’s a systemic failure . Years of law study to interpret laws with context long dropped. The fact that the sec let Coinbase last this long is proof the system is over complicated and cannot be maintained efficiently.

> Keep the format and entry method simple above all else. I use Sublime Text to edit markdown files now, and have only had trouble with various more feature-rich options like Obsidian.

Ive reached the same conclusion. I use my IDE (vscode) and markdown. Unstructured notes are easy to write, and I value that over discoverability. Its the same principle as nosql vs sql, or the same benefits of a datalake!

I almost never go back and look at my notes, which I write per task. When I do I use the VSCode search. Whats more important for me is zero friction to writing them down. Its more of a “working memory “ dump than a document to share or read again.

I actually noticed the same principle at play with arc browser. I hated thinking about “where does this tab belong” every time I wanted to open a new one or put things side by side.
Bummer, they were one of few breweries with an interesting Christmas ale.
That is precisely not what would be happening. No money changes hands. An investment is a risk. It can devalue for arbitrary reasons. This is not theft. This is not wierd. This is how it works. No one stole anything from the person/company that invested in property.
I'd support the same, but I'd allow ads, as long as they don't sell user data, and add long as the company is structured as a co-op or non profit org, and have full transparency on what they're spending money on, and if there's enough kitty, give back to users who are the best at moderation, quality content etc...I think fediverse is too decentralized the best you can hope for is a DAO, built as a social enterprise, maybe every user gets to vote on major things with the company. the know karma, the more your vote counts, as long as there's a way to make sure there's no karma farms...
Well, the SEC told everyone to register, but didn't actually tell them how they could. From what has been made public, it seems like the SEC strung Coinbase along for about two years, then said that their application was inadequate (without stating any criteria).
> highly opinionated solutions as something definite even though it has a narrow focus on what the author cares about

Most users either don't have such strong opinions about their scroll bars, or would prefer it looks coherent with the application, or OS-native (your preference). But I can almost guarantee the larger group of non-technical users will have never thought about the styling of their scrollbars for more than a few seconds.

Also in terms of accessibility, so long as they're doing CSS-only changes, and the bar is sized compliant and has proper focus states, assistive technology won't care.
The trans community is currently the wellspring which most reliably produces top developer talent.

When trans folks saw the toxicity and hate Elon was enabling with Twitter they fucked off to Mastodon, and the barycenter of tech discussion shifted in a less Twitterly, more Mastodonish direction.
It's not clear to me why almost any of these coins even need to be listed by regulated exchanges.

Couldn't they just stick with BTCUSD and a few others then let decentralized exchanges deal with crypto-crypto trade?

Would they really lose that much business? I always assumed (though I've never actually checked, it doesn't interest me that much) that almost all of the shitcoins were like, the long tail few % of revenue for these businesses, and it feels like that's where all the risk is, since Bitcoin is generally recognised as a commodity.

I mean, if needs must, spin off the shitcoin stuff into its own entity?
Maybe PCem, as demoed on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEE2RJj3YI
Or to phrase it a different way: Being able to style and control the width of the scrollbar is so incredibly useful that it must be in the hands of users, and not designers.
Feels a bit like a 'hill climbing algorithm'. Sometimes staying in the same place and climbing the hill works out well - but sometimes a big jump can move you to a bigger hill.
> These patterns probably seem obvious to us as power users, but I find average users get endlessly confused by them.

They're obvious to power users because we have seen them a million times before.

When a web developer does a custom scroll bar that is when "average" users get confused, because suddenly they're presented with something they haven't seen.

It's not too much to expect a user to know how scrolling works by default in their client operating system/browser. It _is_ asking too much to expect users to know how scrolling works when you customise how it works. Web developers should not be touching this stuff.

Scripts are permitted in html uploads (all content is iframed and served from a separate domain), though I will go through and remove blank directories for now.

I’ll likely add checks for an index.html for any upload and turn off indexing in the future to prevent these.

FTC asks US court to block Microsoft-Activision Blizzard deal
All other arguments aside: the bottom line is that everyone who invested in crypto did it with the knowledge that Coinbase wasn't a securities broker.

The SEC just can't imagine a world where customers are fine without their 'protection'. We don't want your help, we don't need your help. GO away.
Agreed, I searched for "elixir" and the first person returned on the list was a self-identified minor from Europe and the e-mail that was listed (partially redacted) was not the e-mail publicly listed on the persons GitHub page in the "Contact Me" section.

The list appears to be non-deterministic as it changed slightly on re-running the search query, but selling the e-mail addresses of people in GDPR protected regions seems like a not-great idea.

Seems like a cool idea with a risky implementation.
In terms of ethnicity, isn't China something like 91% Han Chinese? I wonder if that has anything to do with the incentive structure behind why their media denigrates other races.
Can you give an example of when a design calls for stylized scrollbars and there is no alternative.

Worth noting the west coast states with larger Asian populations were largely "locked down" in 2020. Schools didn't reopen until 2021. 2020 didn't have as many opportunities for individual interactions that could lead to such crimes.

Combating marginal conspiracy theories with a real mainstream media/government conspiracy. Surely that did way more harm than good.
The SEC expects the disclosure of various types of information which are impossible to create/state in the case of a decentralized security/commodity/currency like crypto.
There is mass attention on the pitfalls of centralization right now - Twitter, and now Reddit, two public squares annihilated by corporate greed.

People are learning that the rewards of social media are possible without the ennui machine sucking their souls. They do care, but many don't understand enough to navigate this combination of tech and social structures. Now is the time to educate them and take advantage of that.
I can't wait for the updated version of 1984.
The problem is that issuers of crypto don't file S-1's and the like. They apparently claim it's because the investment involved in crypto is technology-enforced scarcity and not any interest in an actual business. They might propose instead publishing a white paper about how their technology works. Since there's no satisfactory registration, there's no legitimate industry. The Coinbase situation is a follow-on consequence.
Ask HN: Pecedent for all Reddit 3rd party apps redirecting to a competitor?
There are a few decent Reddit competitors out there. If all of the services impacted by the Reddit API changes switched to supporting a new singular alternative we might see enough traffic movement for something real to permanently result.
Interesting. May I ask why you consider Bayesian updates a “despicable philosophy” ?

> It was always something that radically changed how it was that I understood the world around me, something that made my way of thinking about things shift so dramatically that I had to abandon my old ideas.

If you have examples, I would much appreciate it, although I do not mean to pry.
You "agree" to give cnn.com (or whoever) the information when you visit their site through stupid TOS BS. You also "agree" that they can sell it.

Law says don't collect the data through surveillance. Law doesn't say "don't buy it from people selling it willingly" - probably nobody anticipated that, because... it sounds kinda stupid if you don't know how we got here... yet here we are.

So instead of trying to lawyerball it to make courts declare that it somehow falls under current restrictions, based on intent vs the actual words, we just need to update the damn laws.

This is impossible at the resolution stated. The headset would have to be 8K or more per eye in order to achieve this, which it most definitely is not.
The IE 6 to Firefox migration started about 20 years ago. The world of browsers today is _very_ different.

You may not like Google's influence, but they don't hold back technical innovation in the way that Microsoft did with IE 6. Many web designers, me included, spent hours on each project hacking around its CSS bugs and JS drawbacks. I've not had to do that with Chrome, which makes it miles better.
There was a quick starburst trend around 2010 where super-fancy css componentry was being heavily explored & all sorts of interesting but not necessarily better stuff was being done, with radical redesigns. My mini-project submission for a job I got was using a super melted Geiger esque up-down button set.

I've tried to go back & find evidence of this era, to find more examples of these heavily glitzed up components. And wow, so much of this has disappeared entirely off the net. Maybe I'm lacking the right keywords. But this feels like a mega flash in the pan that came & went super fast.
I was on today. It seems... better.
PKD was absolutely fantastic as an author. I am currently on a mission to read every book written by him. So far I have read:

The Ganymede takeover (co wrote with ray Nelson)

Time out of joint

A scanner darkly

The three stigmata of palmer eldritch

The man in the high castle

Do androids dream of electric sheep

And I started reading the transmigration of Timothy archer but put it down because my gf gave me a copy of brodsky's watermark because she wants me to take her to Venice but I should read the book first.

Anyways, There's so much more to read. And everything has many layers. I just absolutely love all his writing. Most of his writing is questioning what is reality? How is reality shared? How do we communicate what reality is? How do we take advantage of the disparity of different realities all people seem to live in.
I was taken aback at first as well but then I realized I was misunderstanding the point.

The article isn't saying crypto is harmful like heroin at all -- it's just using heroin as an arbitrary example of something illegal. It's clear to everyone that selling heroin is illegal, in a way that e.g. insider trading perhaps isn't.

So it's not alarmist nonsense, it's just a vivid analogy.
Or perhaps profitable in the short run, which for an IPO is all that matters when people with more money than sense buy into it.
Oddly this seems to be the same idea that Bowdler [0] had, and in the same year, even (1807). But there is no mention of Bowdlerization on the page!

I wonder if its cultural revisionism along the lines of some of those pulled down statues. They don't want people to know how bad it was, so they can't compare it to how good it is now, so they think no progress has been made, thus making more activists.
Non-violent racism is most of racism. That includes things like POC getting access to the same opportunities in the job market, in the credit market, in basically every aspect of life. From what I have seen, it is much less likely that someone will call racism out when it happens, much like women do not generally come forward after abuse. If you can't see the problem in your statement, you are part of it.

I promise you, a procedure to become a registered securities exchange exists (demonstrably, as registered securities exchanges exist widely) and Coinbase has enough people and money to find it.

I hope other readers will note that, in response to the above user’s account of sinophobia in the US, the comments here on HN have overwhelmingly attempted to invalidate those experiences. Responses have ranged from outright hostility to gaslighting behavior, even an attempt to deflect the discussion onto Black Americans despite the original comment mentioning no race other than Asian or Chinese.

The above commenter’s experiences will ring true for many Chinese living in the US, because we are the ones who experience and are impacted by sinophobia (this can also extend to other E/SEA diaspora to an extent). Whereas the commenters claiming that we’re biased or influenced by propaganda, as if they are uniquely exempt from such things, are not.
What was claimed is that OP wants some of my house. Unsurprisingly, I wasn’t in favor. No one is asking whether everything should be sacrificed, I’m just asserting that none of my things should be: not my home or my food or my clothing. When you attempt to steal these things I resist .

This idea that we would all be better off if you simply had some of my stuff is bad and wrong.
For context the largest tech companies in the world spend in the range of $5-20M on lobbying each year. So these crypto cos spending $1-3M is either very high or in line with expectations, depending on your perspective. For AMZN, my employer, $20M is pretty small compared to the $514B revenue and $10B in profit (excluding the rivian charge). Coinbase spending $3m does seem high in that comparison.
Please gzip-encode javascripts and css.

They are transmitted raw (also: not minified, but that'd be more acceptable if you gzipped them) and also they are returning Accept-Ranges header. That's IMO not a sensible default; they are not big resources supposed to be downloaded with retries - they are needed as a whole, in a fastest way possible. Gzipping them will shorten the page load - which is actually quite good already - congrats for that!
