Cryptocurrency systems proposed ways to handle the creation and management of monetary systems without government involvement. The implementation of such systems is open to definition by the designers of the system, and is extremely fluid. Most cryptocurrencies chose to go with the bitcoin model, which encouraged speculation and early buy-in, but fails like ~waves at the cryptocurrency space in 2023~.

So, here you go:

Set up a system which creates and destroys tokens programatically. Tokens are created uniformly over all user accounts, and destroyed in each account proportional to the amount already in the account.

This handles the wealth-redistribution function of taxation, and allows control of the total number of tokens to prevent inflationary spiraling over time. A prime difficulty is assigning accounts.

FWIW, AuroraCoin did /something/ like this in Iceland, using Icelandic identity cards for identifiability, but didn't destroy tokens: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/auroracoin.asp#toc-hist...

Do you want it to take the first match? Inputting a unique prefix doesn't sound practical.
> The people they pass over ARE talented and these studios run the risk of seeing new indie film makers eat into their profit margins.

Fully agree, but not here. It's easy as an indie to get your movie in front of eyeballs or a music piece in front of a willing pair of ears, easier than ever before... but these eyeballs generally won't pay anything or they'll pay pittances. YouTube? Need subscribers and churn out content for years to build enough of a following to earn actual money. Spotify and Soundcloud are easier to get started but pay absolute dog shit.

Forget about cinema though. The large venues are all but bought out by Big Mouse (they demand the largest rooms for weeks exclusively for their content, no matter actual demand), of the few slot that remain other big distributors already have claims on, and you're relegated to absolutely weird-ass time slots or small arthouse cinemas. And TV ain't what it was either, no one watches TV and most stations have a full backlog of shit they can re-run infinitely.
Very interesting trade-off! I was curious what you and Ryan were cooking post DDOG. "cost-effective serverless kafka" is a very interesting play. And congrats on the public announcement for "shipping Husky", finally. --Marc
Ah good memories! I was a big fan of Ion window managers when I discovered them in school back around 99 or 2000. I gave up tabbed tiling window managers at some point, but I was so happy with Ion back.

His experiences on receiving bug reports from patched versions of Ion distributed by debian(?) was my first real exposure to the idea that distributions aren't just distributing software.
Fan of the channel.
these are just examples of the fleeting nature of things, people included. here it seems different because _why and Mark Pilgrim are (most likely) still around somewhere.

enjoy them while you can. don't take them for granted. you never know when they'll be gone.
The catch is that the iron age happened at different times in different places. When that Egyptian dagger was likely made, people were already smelting iron in India and sub-Saharan Africa. Chemical analysis can rule that out though, lots of nickel and very little carbon indicate that it came from a meteorite.
That’s a positive outcome.
We do have lists that are sorted by your own view of what's best - netflix recommendations, for example, try to put stuff you like in front of you. (Although I'm sure they've been tempted to mess with it as an advertising mechanism by now).

(Just musing here) I've always wanted to try a simple ordering by time, but with each up/downvote adding an offset to the time. So you get 10 downvotes, you get pushed 10 minutes into the past on the timeline. I think that when people get sick of seeing something at the top of their feed they'll flip their upvotes to downvotes, and away it goes. Probably won't work - automated moderation systems don't generally. I'd still be curious to try it though.
Here’s how you should write that: “Why would they get better wages? Increased productivity doesn’t automatically mean higher salary.”

Keep your writing clear.
> It could just be that im out of touch with reality, but WHY are they agreeing to this? arent they the very problem? just demand money for a service.

My guess is desperation.

There are a lot of people that want to be artists. Some of these people find any other type of work to be unbearable. So they're either deciding to roll over and take it, since the alternative of working any other non-art-related job is too painful, or they're incorrectly thinking that if they do a good enough job on one project, they'll earn a name for themselves and get paid handsomely on the next.
Dodgy in what way? This kind of thing is where none would do creative accounting. Accountants just propose a plan and get the auditor to sign off on it, or suggest modifications. In the auto business, if the CFO wants to hit a number for the CEO, warranty accounting is the place to play games.
> I didn't really notice you making a distinction. You're free to uphold one, of course - wherever you consider appropriate.

I didn't say you made the distinction. I did. I said suicide is acceptable because it cuts one away completely, whereas behaviors such as alcoholism can have severe negative effects on others that aren't merely emotional turmoil.

> Who said "only"? It's just the default option.

So they have alternatives besides self-destruction and waiting to die but self-destruction is the rational choice?

> It is rare that one pursues addiction with the express purpose of obliterating the self, though it's not unheard of.

True, but upthread, you (or whoever the commenter is) mentioned substance abuse as an example of self-destructive behavior. I just went with it since I don't disagree.

> What's worse, people also tend to mix up their perspectives with their opinions, and, most perniciously of all, with their identities. I don't know what to do about that, sorry.

Opinions are valid insofar as they reflect one's moral axioms and the available facts. I know what you're talking about with regards to identity.

> According to my opinion and perspective, whose else. Why would you imply that I mean otherwise?

I was thinking you meant "rational" in the sense of you being reasonably correct. As in, it's rational to not go to areas with smoke if you're trying to evade danger. Seems I misread.

> Sure, if it helps anyone.

I think it is useful to discuss any harmful actions.

> Where did I say that they find life not worth living, so they kill themselves? If only.

I didn't say you said that.

> I'm saying that they find life not worth living, because the things that are supposed to intrinsically attract them to living, are made unattainable;

And I'm saying that these things aren't truly "unattainable" and they may be attained in the future.

> so they end up living lives that are ultimately harmful to others

I doubt the collective environmental impact of these people is very significant compared to the overall global energy consumption and, more pressingly, the potential preservation to be had in working to fix this mess. It's their choice, but saying suicide is most rational seems nearsighted at the present moment. Maybe in a few decades things will really be hopeless.

> By the time they have the power to change anything, the world would better off without them - but good luck getting them to budge. It's funny, give em a decade or two and Gen Z are gonna be absolutely MASSIVE boomers, the likes of which the world has never seen before.

Not sure what you're trying to say here.
1. In much of the country, people drink vodka like people drink Coke, not oligarchs in Moscow though.

2. Much of restaurants in Russia are indeed Chechen owned. Great many of Japanese, Chinese, Korean restaurants, and street food in general in Russia have Chechen owners.

That the real Russia.
Sticking to the cyborg larp? I shouldn't need to explain the relevance of water to you twice.

Your definition of Fascism is... interesting...
Most were made when I was a child. The first was a power stealer that used radio waves to power an LED. The second was a large wooden glider around 5 feet long and wide. The third was a pair of glasses for reading while walking using a half-silvered mirror and a magnifying class to project miniaturized mirror-reversed book pages into my eye so I could read while walking between classes in college. The fourth was a studying shack I made while in grad school (which I commuted to, so I needed a private space for dedicated study time).
There's always Linux... ;)
I sort of know where you are coming from, but I think it is hard to discount the fact that 80 new people took the time to create 99 issues in the last 6 weeks in Flowise. No matter how you look at it, this is a strong indicator that this project has strong engagement.

I'm not saying ChainForge is bad, but it will need to go against that kind of community engagement that other projects with a head start have. However, if you believe people contributing code (26) and participating in non code activity (150) in Flowise in the last 6 weeks are just novelty metrics, then yes, comparing numbers is silly.
Here’s version with modern C#:

public record Product(string Name, decimal Price);
public record OrderLine(Product Product, int Quantity);

public abstract record Discount
{
public record Percentage(decimal Value) : Discount();
public record FixedAmount(decimal Value) : Discount();
}

public record Order(List<OrderLine> OrderLines, Discount? Discount)
{
public decimal CalculateTotalPrice()
{
var subtotal = OrderLines.Sum(x => x.Product.Price * x.Quantity);
return subtotal - Discount switch
{
Discount.Percentage { } percentage => subtotal * percentage.Value / 100M,
Discount.FixedAmount { } amount => amount.Value,
_ => 0M
};
}
}
I'm surprised there are so many negative comments on this release, which I suppose is timed for discussion at Blackhat/Defcon.

The report's identifies its audience as four groups of stakeholders:
(1) federal civilian executive branch agencies
(2) target rich, resource poor entities where federal assistance and support is most needed, including SLTT partners and our nation’s election infrastructure;
(3) organizations that are uniquely critical to providing or sustaining National Critical Function
(4) technology and cybersecurity companies with capability and visibility to drive security at scale

The overlap with the HN audience is probably primarily under the last category, where they have 5 objectives listed in the report (increasing threat modeling, secure software development frameworks, accurate CVE data, secure-by-design roadmaps, and publishing stats like MFA adoption and % of customers using unsupported product version). These all seem like good priorities for an agency like CISA and I've been impressed by their level of direct industry interaction even in our company's corner of the security (appsec) space.
Let's not forget, that while he did kind of shrug and agree to remove everything... that was a problem in the packaging spec.

The package (Steam, if memory serves?) should not have had the other packages referenced as they were. The dependency/requirement resolution was faulty...

Then he didn't truly take in the message and this is the result we get.

There's plenty of "probably say no if you don't know what this means" in what he ignored. Fault is all over.

- His distribution of choice [or] the repository supporting it
- him for not reading and acting accordingly
- sheer chance

Had he chosen another distribution at random, there's little chance that would have happened.

If he repeated it on the same one now, it wouldn't happen. When you choose a niche distribution, you get niche problems.

My entire family manages fine on 'bleeding edge' Fedora, yet it doesn't market itself this way. Packaging is specifically in their domain of expertise

This isn't to say Linux is for everyone, but I really wish for a more fair representation.

As the reporters they should have dug in a bit more. They become part of the problem, in a sense, by not clarifying where there truly be dragons.
The concept of microkernels is cool for security ... the only thing cooler in OSes is maybe unikernels :P

And certainly the time is ripe since we have such powerful and capable machines even in the pockets of our pants ... we can certainly waste a little bit of resources to work with more secure layers of abstraction ... yes?

But Hurd has taken so long, I feel like Google Fuschia might dive in and capture everyone's imagination with a more modern and practical implementation of the concept. To be clear ... neither Hurd nor Fuschia are really practical today ... I just feel like its more likely Google might throw a few hundred million at the project if it pans out in the few places its currently being field tested (like in Google Home devices).
>No, there is no "complete control of the media", IDK why people assume it to be the case. Broadcast federal tv has to be politically correct, but not too much beyond that.

This is why recent prigozhin roadtrip to moscow completely didn't happen at all according to russian media ? or is it just a case of been "politically correct" ? and tv station absolutely not given talking points by kremlin ?
> Just because you want to work on say, video games or VFX doesn't mean you should accept a job that compels you to work horrendous hours for little pay. Just say no and move on... the market forces will correct and adjust accordingly out of necessity.

Yeah, they'll go offshore instead while you try to navigate an intentionally kafkaesque maze of red tape to apply for fucking food stamps.
A CEO cannot be a CEO (unless they are a founder which is a different matter altogether) without an existing enterprise with equipment and real estate to manage, so I don’t see the point there.

Founder CEOs are founders of the company and of course they will receive large payouts. The gripe is with non-founder executive vp sliding into CEO jobs and going from making $1 million a year to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars a year practically guaranteed with all sorts of golden parachutes attached.
Yeah medical info and HIPAA was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. My company doesn’t deal with medical data but I can’t imagine any company dealing with PII wants to use Zoom now.
The user guide has a short section on writing custom rules [1], and the API reference also covers the attributes of a LintRule [2]. I plan to document this in more detail at some point in the future.

FTA:

he had possession of a USB containing "administrative passwords and electronic system keys" for the AETC radio network." Also retrieved from flash drives were "local law enforcement radio programming files,"

It's not clear but that could be both frequency hopset and crypto keys.
I bet the people who've had family members saved by them appreciate the fun. I bet the people who's family members have died in accidents, that wouldn't have happened if the other driver were in a Tesla, also appreciate the work that Tesla is doing.
Maybe Spain. For a century they got all the gold and silver that could be found in South America. Blew it all on wars and extravagance.
I don't think anyone was claiming the author was being intentionally deceiving, just that they're not very good at writing idiomatic Rust.

The first thing I'd suggest, as someone who's done their fair share of Rust compiler dev, is to stop using `Box` and `Ref` everywhere. Terms should not own their child terms; the idiomatic way to handle this is to use an arena and typed IDs, and pass a reference to the arena when you need access to the underlying data from the ID.
I made a chair: https://marvinklein.com/projects/chair

Some code was involved to optimize the layout of the pieces on the sheets of plywood they were cut out of, but that was maybe one percent of the project.
I understand where you're coming from but "more forward thinking than a bank" should not be the aspiration for the organization primarily responsible for cybersecurity of the United States gov. This is not a good look for CISA.
Reason why I didn’t pursue anything in the creative industry and became an engineer, thanks mom for the advice.
Sorry to hear about your wife's health issues, I hope she's on the mend.
I had a similar experience when dealing with my chronic condition. Had to interact with almost a dozen different health portals, a couple of which were ok, the rest were awful.

I'm a software engineer, so I ended up creating my Personal Health Record (PHR) application, which I eventually open-sourced - https://github.com/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem

It's still a work in progress (and definitely not ready to be used as the primary source-of-truth), but I'm always looking for actionable feedback/contributors. I'd love to hear your thoughts
Assembly on load-store machines? (with perhaps the omission of MIPS where the lack of instruction interlocking can cause surprising things).
3e used to have a "delay" option where you could opt to move down the initiative order (and stay there going forward), but 5e did away with it and the only way to change when you act is via the Ready action.

The way readying usually works is basically "move + guard", though it's more flexible than that in regular D&D with a human DM where you can line up whatever action you want like "I'll stay put, but if the goblin comes toward me I retreat into the next room" rather than only being for attacks.

But if they wanted to only implement it as letting you attack or cast a spell when an enemy enters a target area, that would be a lot better than nothing.
That likely generalizes to all the ones that are overworked and underpaid too. Fair point.
Uptight corporate environments are demoralizing and dehumanizing. It may be possible that by having some fun at work Tesla is able to make their cars safer.
To take the GP comments fight as an example, there was 64 days between when Khabib v McGregor was announced and their actual bout. Both camps knew there would be a fight and so consider negotations started at least one month prior to that. So both trained fighters had at least 90 days to prepare.

Khabib however trains everyday, that is his life and he has done nothing else his whole life. Connor I'm not so sure but at a minimum he had the three months. These guys are elite, the best at their weight class, and they had three months.

People here who have never had so much as an afterschool fight in their life thinking it takes a week to prepare for something.
"We have tried nothing and we are all out of ideas" seems to be the response to any sort of problem in San Francisco. There are plenty of federal and state resources that can come in and handle the problem, they just have to make a phone call.

(I don't care to debate the value of mushrooms, at this point it is illegal and I am commenting on the broader ineptitude of SF city government)
I disagree. I certainly think it's possible people might be looking to fit Kafka into things that simply don't need it (perhaps driven by the system design theory focus in hiring), but for the applications where you have event streaming, Kafka is still the top choice. Analytics, messaging, sensors, etc.

From my side, I agree with the author about the "Accidental SRE" points. But Kafka is a solid technology, so much so that there's no shortage of "Kafka but better" tools out there (e.g. Redpanda).

Also you kind of drift off the point there at the end - even if it wasn't used extensively (a point of contention), that has nothing to do with whether it is polarizing or not? The statement about it being loved or hated is still relevant to those solving the 1% scaling problems you mentioned, even if 99% aren't.

It's like saying that the statement "lamborghinis are polarizing" is false because most of us don't have one? The author explicitly says "in the data space" too, effectively restricting the people he's talking about.
> never

Oh, yes it was. The Macintosh was once a platform for independent professionals and small businesses to build their own software using native tooling. The add-in cards you could buy for the Apple II would shock you in today's anti-consumer ownership war being waged by vendors.
Can you prove any connection between the two?
The same scope creep thats faced in other industries. For consulting mostly this is handled by scoping as tightly as possible and then issuing change requests for out of scope requirements that are billed. I guess hard with a films fixed budget though.
most likely clones. those days everybody semi-capable seems to be directed towards weapons manufacturing/etc. there is enormous shortage of workforce even for lower level skills manufacturing.
Imagine I take half of your income, and I tell you that it's supposed to go towards helping the poor. Instead, the poor become poorer, all city services get worse, and nobody really seems to be getting helped. You are then expected to take even more of your income AND now time as well trying to solve this issue for which there are hundreds (thousands?) of city/state employees who are supposed to be doing this as their full time job?

It makes perfect sense to me why they aren't doing anything. Maybe it would be better if we didn't collect taxes?
Smart people like that would do dumb things. Why not park the other end of the wormhole in the core of the sun for dumping trash. Test it first? Nah, surely this thing is one way of course.
>If enough people get another job, the industry they are leaving will adapt or die.

That's essentially a union. A large group of people say they'll leave unless things improve.
> There's no type annotations for me to figure out what the heck each term is.

If types can be perfectly inferred, I don't see why I wouldn't take advantage of it. Whatever Ocaml IDE you use will easily be able to tell you the types anyways
You sort of do if you want to boot kernels on btrfs. Refind is an option, but not most of the other EFI bootloaders.

This is cool. There are a tonne of options for local KV stores that likely outperform this by a large margin, but the obvious benefit here is that SQLite is really simple to configure and operate!
> try to navigate an intentionally kafkaesque maze of red tape to apply for fucking food stamps

This is a bizarre, and unrealistic take.

Realities are, so long as there's a zillion capable people willing to step in and replace you with a moment's notice, then your job will have downward pressure on compensation.

However, just because you can't get a good paying job in VFX doesn't mean you're now doomed to food stamps. There's no reality where that makes any sense...
> How much of Tesla do you think is Musk?

Tesla's valuation is mostly Musk. "Infinite demand", "full self-driving"... the SEC should have cracked down on him a long time ago but they seem unwilling to do so. Ultimately reality will win out and Tesla's stock will realign. That hasn't happened because Musk has an army of fanboys he can use to pump the stock, apparent ins at the SEC and a very aggressive call buying program on Tesla. I don't think anyone other than Musk could get away with pumping the stock like he has, so the valuation is mostly dependent on him.
Someone else pointed out that it's probably confusing that I didn't mention that I do religiously squash my branches before committing, so we still have multiple developers with a clean main branch and no merge commits.
