> CBDCs are next

Nobody has seriously discussed a CBDC for months in the U.S. FedNow is the American financial system catching up to the 1990s. It has nothing to do with crypto beyond the cursory.

What could go wrong?
Many congratulations!
Cash can be spent without being monitored or blocked.

A recent example of how this might be relevant is with the protests in Canada that lead to the freezing of the protesters’ bank accounts by the government. While I don’t agree with the protesters, the idea of the government freezing their accounts is alarming. After seeing such control exercised, it’s hard to be excited about a cashless society.
That's true, but my understanding is they serve a specific mux for a specific bandwidth profile, and serve it by just transmitting bytes, no demux required. I didn't mean to imply that wasn't a common option. I only meant to say I don't think a common option is to have a giant mux of all possible bandwidth profiles into one container file, that has to be demuxed at serve time.

My understanding is that YouTube supports both the "separate streams" and "specific mux per-bandwidth profile" methods, and picks one based on the codec support/preferences of the client.
Letters can be intercepted, letters have tracking, letters of this magnitude will require certification, and at the very least will require a courier. All of that assumes the letter can be delivered, and also assumes that the recipient believes that the letter is authentic. If I sent you an authentic looking NSA letter, would you just do what you're told? Fat chance...

An email/phone call to a legal department is much less work and provides all the same protections.
I know this is the title of the (3 line) article, but I was looking to remove my personal name from being googleable.

Clickbait.
Probability in a given encounter, is how the post is written, which is fine. That is, in an encounter between police and non-police, it's much less likely that a police officer is killed or injured than that someone else is.

Now, police officers are obviously going to be involved in a lot more of these encounters than the average person, and there are fewer of them, which I think is what you're getting at, but this is valid from an "in a given encounter, which party is more-justified in fearing for their physical safety?" sort of way.
Pseudo-end times conspiracy theorists won’t like this…

Sounds like the way programmers learn to use syntax highlighting. Never occurred to me to view ligatures through that lens .
It reads more like someone wrote it at 17 imagining what it'd be like to cripple someone and have this elaborate 'moment' where all is forgiven because nothing is real.
10-25 feet isn't reasonable for a no-filming police abuses zone. It can make it crime for someone who is handcuffed and being beaten by police to record what happened to them.

These laws don't make interfering with police a crime, it only makes filming them illegal.

Having briefly touched the Early Access version of the game, BG3 is easily the most DnD like video game I've ever experienced. I'd be willing to call Early Access a masterpeice and am quite excited for release next month! If you enjoy BG3, I'd implore you to try to find a real life DnD session. :)

This comment reminds me a lot of XKCD "Ten Thousand" (https://xkcd.com/1053/). You don't need to denigrate the author's credibility to write about their personal experience and insight from it in order to provide a reference to the much deeper field of study on this to those who are interested. Personally, I had heard of "historiography" but had no idea this is what it meant. And now I do! And that wouldn't have happened today if this author hadn't published their little anecdote.
I see. We're misunderstanding each other.

A society with severe imbalances in wealth, health, and power should examine how those imbalances came about. If it turns out that they're directly caused by racism, that society should consider race-conscious remedies. This is true regardless of how long the racist policies have been perpetuated, and it's true regardless of whether or not the federal government of the USA still exists.
If your class name doesn't answer it, that comment won't either.
Go ahead and question it. What do you think is a reasonable alternative? Actually game it out.

Money wasn’t always the sole dominion of government. There is a reason we’ve ended up at this point. I find it to be entirely reasonable.
It's hilarious to me that 25ish years after the death of DOS, we still define dot-three-letter file extensions in new standards.
It's also wildly inconsistent. The same political factions (vs individuals) that complain about Real ID also complain endlessly about fake ID. They complain about illegal voting, but also support the drive to withdraw their states from ERIC, which has done a good job in detecting illegal voting. Basically they're sometimes against solutions because their complaints infrastructure generates a reliable stream of political and financial capital from the credulous.
> Eventually, FedNow will just be the rails for a US dollar CBDC

This is unfounded. FedNow is a faster classical payment rail. CBDCs involve the central bank taking on a customer-facing role. The Fed has no desire, nor frankly basis in law, to do that. The only reason the two are linked is crypto (a) prompted the first serious discussion about American payments modernization and (b) promoters are using it as a thread by which to hang onto a dream of mainstream crypto.
You've answered the questions of "where" and "on what charges", but not the question of who would be prosecuting.
Is there any reason this would not work on a Mac and iterm2? I get the initial encryption effect, but sadly, no decryption :). I tried different fonts and iterm2 settings to no avail. I guess I could try the ncurses option, but curious to see this not work natively.

Edit: as helpful comments below me explained, you either have to press another key to decrypt, or launch it with the `-a` option.
There are definitely a bunch of overlap though between the two, most notably in session replay. Honestly if one of you could combine application analytics with monitoring, it would be a fantastic one stop resource. There is no reason in my mind why these two areas should be separate. Both are basically logging events of different types.
My favorite example of this is "average" vs "normal". People want to be considered normal but do not want to be considered average.
I think misanthropes aren't being enabled by articles like the above.

Mr Pibb/Pibb Xtra is in the same category as Dr Pepper, IMHO and Coke had originally named it Peppo to target the Dr Pepper market; incidentally Pepsi doesn't have anything in the "pepper-drink" category). I don't have a lot lot of familiarity with Pibb, because this category isn't something I desire very often, and Pibb availability is generally low; but next time I see it, if it's not one of the hideous Coke Freestyle machines where the flavors come out of inkjet cartridges, I'll give it a try and update my references. There's some similarity in initial flavor to cherry Coke, but you know, there's cherry Dr Pepper out there too, and that's distinguishable from regular Dr Pepper.

I must admit I haven't had birch beer; but I'll try it when I see it too. :)
Right. I suppose that makes sense. I’m thinking about ease of startup costs for institutions that want to use it financially. The Fed would need to support that anyway. Perhaps by not limiting a qualifying institution to just banks but also opening up access to financial service firms would be enough. They could just have some sort of fair priced qualifying program that a company has to maintain to access it or something

I’m a developer and have run development teams. I fucking love Airtable for solving business problems.

I love it for the same reason I love XL, which is that you can turn it on and it just works and normal people can use it. You can create a sheet that tracks something important to the business in 20 minutes, and you have built in slack notifications and cron-type job capability and the ability to call or be called via REST API and so on, plus easy to follow user management and row level commenting and so on all built in.

In the first 20 minutes.

Yeah there’s stuff it can’t do or is bad for. When you get to that stuff use another tool, and guess what you usually can use whatever you did in Airtable as a spec instead of trying to sort out what the business process actually needs in terms of fields and so on.

I absolutely love it. It’s been an incredibly helpful addition to what had been our previous stack of salesforce for CRM and our own rails app/site, and is just so much faster for creating internal business tools than either.
Atom bombs are just tools, they are only controlled by humans. But a super intelligence can be an actor, not just a tool. This changes everything. It might be vastly more intelligent than humans. It wouldn't be limited by skull size, meager energy provided by food, or low spike frequency of biological neurons. The difference might be as large as between humans and chimpanzees, or humans and mice, or even humans and ants. There is no reason to expect we are anywhere near the theoretical peak of intelligence.
Serious question - did you have a lawyer write this? The license text and some of the comments here lead me to believe that it wasn’t done by a lawyer.

If not, you should really talk to a lawyer first about this. Preferably one with knowledge of open source licensing. New software licenses are tricky and should be done by a lawyer and not by random HN comments. (Even if this is an overly well informed set of users on software).

Last time I went into Whole Foods, they wanted to link my purchase to an Amazon account. I certainly didn't want that to happen, so I lied and claimed not to have an account, but it didn't matter - they looked it up anyway when I gave them my credit card. I had thought that sort of thing was incompatible with PCI rules, but apparently not; or maybe Amazon is too big to care.

At any rate I won't be putting my hands on any scanners in Whole Foods. Perhaps I should also be wary of any unmarked glass surfaces in the store which might contain hidden scanners, since they obviously don't care much whether we consent to their data collection, and might just try to capture all of our palmprints anyway...
You're doing the lords work. I often get pushback on doing this with some variation of "comments bad, code should be self-documenting". This is unwise, because there are "what code does" and "why code does" comments, but this turns out to be to nuanced to battle the meme.
> I'm not sure exactly why bodycam footage is so much worse. I think part of it might have to do with the odd height it's placed at.

Its the lack of any stabilization. If you twist your body a tiny bit then the focus of the camera moves drastically; this differs from when you're holding a camera far from our body using your arms. When you move your body your arms will counter-act that and the video won't jump as much.

Google from 10 years ago is much different from the Google that we see in use today... results are much different it's hard to find what you're looking for.... then of course you have the first page covered with ads so that makes it that much more difficult... then there's the negative changes that they made to the instant searching where you type in keywords and then it provides suggestions which are completely not related to anything that's popular that you might be searching for... The one example that is still true today is when typing "men can", google instant will still show "men can get pregnant", "men can lactate", "men can have periods" as the top results...
Yes, a flippant response. The flippant response is well deserved.

It's audacious of you to defend unreadable grammar. An indecipherable double negative is word salad, as is the referential sentence that follows it. Again, because the sentence that it references is indecipherable. I'm not a pedant. I virtually never correct on grammar. I never use correction as a rhetorical device. I legitimately can't interpret your writing. Fix your sentence, if you choose to.

As long as laws have existed, their scope has been argued in court. To wit, we have strong equal protections law in this Nation.

As anti-protected-classes law and constitutional law activists have long argued, laws of this type will be used beyond their intended narrow scope and across the political isle. Also, see speech censorship efforts.

None of that means that law enforcement is conjuring laws. The part of this that you dislike was always inherent in the creation of hate crime enhancements. And, in part, this potential is why many have always seen the notion of protected classes as a terrible idea.

You're complaining now. Wait until they fully reverse the law to only apply to them. At that point, it will still be the fault of those who advocated for this unconstitutional nonsense to begin with.

Schools have the ultimate control.

We're merely discussing whether certain things are used as inputs to a very complicated decision process.

Test scores are no longer being used as inputs in many places, in the name of equity: but I think almost anything you'll weigh higher will favor class, instead.

They're also removing race. And legacy status. The net effect is an admissions landscape that will look very different.

I admit I have a mental illness in favor of Nintendo, specifically Zelda. I believe it happened in childhood, the relentless marketing/hype around the games growing up, the magazines that promoted it, the guides needed to 100% it, etc...

I hate Zelda today, but I have a compulsion to play all of them. I don't enjoy it, I think the games are borderline bad quality. I must play. According to chatGPT this is likely some FOMO or desperation to achieve nolstaiga.

I have such ill will toward Nintendo that I can't really have a conversation about it. They have extracted so much money from me.

Well then lets apply the same standard to the statement that there were no lockdowns. Some countries like New Zealand wouldn't even let their own citizens fly home, and there were stories about people in China having their doors nailed shut by the police. You don't get to make a blanket statement that, "there were no lockdowns" and then downvote everyone that replies because they weren't specific enough.

Morons like this actually believe taking away human rights and privacy will make them safer. News flash, the danger are people in power that can't be held accountable.
