While Visa is often mentioned in discussions about cryptocurrencies, it's important to understand that it's not a direct counterpart. Visa is not a currency. Visa serves as a payment network, akin to Paypal. These platforms can, and in some instances such as Paypal, do support transactions in cryptocurrencies alongside fiat currencies.

In the realm of fiat currency, the closest analogue to owning a Bitcoin or Ethereum account might be holding physical cash or digitally, maintaining an account at a Federal Reserve Bank. However, the latter is rare and nearly impossible to establish, making it accessible only to exceptionally large banking institutions. A more common comparison might be that having a regular bank account is similar to having a custodial cryptocurrency account (e.g. on an exchange, PayPal, RobinHood, etc.), as it represents a method of holding without possessing the currency directly.

Regarding the 25 million figure, it's difficult to know with certainty but it is very likely that the figure understates the amount of users, as custodial accounts tend to be more common and they do not result in new on-chain addresses. Also, I'm not sure where the figure comes from because for Bitcoin alone, there are over 40 million addresses with at least 1$[0].

> has nothing to do with helping regular people, the oppressed, the unbanked, whatever.

As someone who was unbanked for a long time, and having talked to many people in that situation (most recently a couple of Russian immigrants), you are talking out of your ass here.

> Well sure it is, because if you know the ISP isn't trustworthy, then you can have your own local DNS server encrypt the DNS traffic to the upstream DNS server of your choosing.

Isn't DoH exactly the way to "encrypt the DNS traffic"?

> Something has to encrypt the DNS queries. Why is TLS/HTTPS any better than a VPN?

Because with a VPN, you need a VPN endpoint that costs somebody money to run. With TLS/HTTPS, there are no extra systems in the mix.

> Those services will take down the page when it's hosting malware.

Don't domains hosting malware get seized and taken down too?

> The question is, privacy from who? Privacy from governments and corporations is good. Privacy from the device owner is bad.

I 100% agree with this. DoH only provides the former, though.

> Nothing, when you configure your LAN or device to encrypt them.

Again, isn't DoH exactly the way to encrypt them?

> Hard-coding Cloudflare in multiple applications on multiple devices makes it arduous to do this, which is the entire criticism.

Other than Firefox, what applications currently have Cloudflare hardcoded as their default DoH provider?
> Some countries like India make owning monero illegal so it's not an option for everyone.

Owning cryptocurrency is not illegal in India. There is no ban on any cryptocurrencies in India. There is a hefty tax deduction at source on any transactions. Cryptocurrencies are not recognized as legal tender in India, which is the case in many other countries.
> it also means the entire digital world is biased for consumption rather than a nice create-consume balance.

Given the popularity of cameras and Instagram, I'm not sure I agree. Also speech to textis pretty good these days.

Looks like the enhance-styles.css doesn't get cached properly and gets requested on every route. The browser then waits for 500ms for a response from a server, likely due to increased web traffic.

An issue which could have been avoided by using a SPA :D
Looks nice but 12 mile range? My electric bike which has a battery the size of a soda bottle can do 70km (43 miles) in one charge.
You notice that as bad as this cord is, it can’t do anything privacy invasive without asking permission?
Just as disclaimers on dump trucks not being responsible for window damage, and that you cannot declare bankruptcy by just jelling it out, if the law changes this disclaimer will no longer be valid.
Quite cool, but won't allow you to use iCloud Hide your Email, which is a bit annoying.
They can, it’s called a recall. If you do not respond to a recall the value of you car basically hits 0. Which was literally my point.

When you buy a house do you enquire into the grade of concrete used in the foundations? Should “we home owners demand insight into the concrete ratios used”.

I wonder if on electrician forums there are folks saying: “wiring should be open source”? Like because you understand something you want more insight, but you’re happy to be in ignorant bliss on every other aspect of a product.
Ins't it still possible to construct the zero value for Color ? Like how bytes.Buffer does it https://pkg.go.dev/bytes#Buffer : the implementation is not exported but you the usage is to construct the zero value and use it.
So unless Color{} is a valid enum value, this solution would not work.
In my opinion, the reasons you say frontend is bad, are actually the reasons why frontend is a good choice. And why I do not enjoy working on frontend.

Frontend devs get to waste so much time chasing frameworks and fads, and never seem to be held accountable for a functional product that works well. Form state and error handling are afterthoughts compared to animations and drop shadows.
The Palm Pre was everything the Droid was but with a level of polish that was years of its time (literally, how many long until iOS went with cards?)
I see, so anchor tagging a clickbait piece of text within an article makes it not clickbait?

> Argentina is brimming with talent and the economic and social realities mean you need an entrepreneur mindset even to just get through with your daily life. At the same time the level of the education system is quite high and it's free to boot. The next wave of talent also speaks English at a much better level than the people before.

You have to get creative in Argentina, otherwise you won’t survive. Also, a lot of people leverage the education and English level and leave the country, as it’s easier than dealing with it. Over the past 4 years there has been a huge migration of well educated professionals who got tired of dealing with all the uncertainty.

On a personal note, most of college friends left for Europe and the USA, as I also did.
This is what playing geopolitical hardball achieves. China needs that investments, but we are in effect sending this message: Liberalize. Become the partner that is more than transactional, but one for mutual security and prosperity and upholding compatible democratic values.
I remember there’s an app in China that has a QR code on screen all the time that is basically invisible to users unless you tune the color scale in a certain way, I forgot what it was for specifically but I imagine it was for tracking the screenshots taken and uploaded by users.
Honest question, and when police rides your home because someone used your node for some illegal activity, how everyone will defend itself?
Your examples are not consistent dialectically, in my dialect and many related dialects (Northeastern Irish, Scottish and Northern English) “divorsay” is anglicised and pronounced “divorsee”.

That said, wealth, and proclivity to pretentiousness, not just dialect are also factors in the stylings of one’s speech, including which pronunciation to use.
A 12 mile range and price point of $1000? Who is this for?
Thanks for monoio. I hate having to worry about code being resumed in a different thread after await.
It’s ridiculous to compare native language acquisition by children with second language acquisition. A child has so many advantages: 100% surrounded by ghe native language, people who constantly talk to the child at levels they understand, teachers who work with the child (and yes native children do get grammar lessons). And children also get constantly corrected when making mistakes.

A second language learner lacks most or all of these things.
Nokia had the N800 before the iPhone. The touchscreen was resistive which was non ideal, but the Maemo OS had lots of promise and IMO Nokia failed to adequately exploit it or invest in it.

I believed, and still believe, that speech and content moderation simply isn't possible at the scales and staffing that Facebook and other tech companies of the 2010s want to operate. Civil society organizations struggled at the time to match and warn Facebook, but I don't think they can scale up either. I was at a human rights-related event the other day and somebody talked about leaving behind the "trashfire" of the Facebook Oversight Board. I can believe it -- it's the sort of solution that you end up having to knit together at those scales. If we seriously believe we can create some sort of global speech government, why haven't we?

Conversations are intimate, contextual, and should be far more directly under the local control of the speakers. This feels counter-intuitive to many when we see modern genocides like Myanmar and Facebook (and before it, Rwanda and short-wave radio) where mass media played its part in fanning the flames. But censorship and control are temporary fixes to those deeper problems -- and it's a solution that feels more comfortable the further you get from the details of each disaster, or the closer and more familiar you are with those with the power to censor.

My instincts (and my work) assumes a lot of the problems come, as you say, from the centralization of these large tech organizations, but of course there are also plenty of challenges at the more human level. It's significant for me that Western traditions of free speech emerged from decades of vicious religious wars, and appear to be more stable than the cycles of repression and counter-repression that proceeded them.
We actually do use ternlog in several places in Highway :) Whenever we want to use a new immediate arg, we add new ops such as Not, Xor3, Or3, OrAnd, IfVecThenElse that also do something reasonable on other platforms.

BTW this reminds me of a colleague grumbling that what should have been a 20-minute patch to ffmpeg took a day, because it was written in assembly.

It is also quite possible to have large slowdowns due to assembly - all it takes is to forget a v prefix (VEX encoding), whereas intrinsics take care of that.
I found the selection of computers emulated to be interesting. Other than fairly popular (in their time) computers like various VAXen, also machines like the SDS 940 of which only a few dozens were ever made. What the the SDS 940 lacks in numbers it makes up in historical importance though (first node on ARPANET, host of first BBS, host used for the Mother of All Demos etc.).
I did nothing. It just works out of the box for me.

In retrospect, I wish my secondary school French had been as you suggest.

The tables of verbs and conjugations into tenses whose group-names made little sense, and my difficulty with them, was a permanent source of woe at the time.
That's a skill issue and it's not common by any means
You've got some great points there!

How about this for a killer biz idea: 24/7 employee surveillance.

And I'm intrigued by the idea of building in public.

Yes, that's just it. I do not use anything like a language server.
Has anyone had experience with both glommio and monoio? They seem to have broadly similar designs.
I wonder if that was the real trick of the iPhone: slightly less than a day is enough battery; work on that basis. It was dropped into a world where battery life was measured in days.
There are already non ghetto versions of that. I’m not sure they fold though, but $1000? Damn.
Humans have slept in worse conditions throughout history (including now) without being less human.

In fact, enduring hardship to achieve a long-term goal is one of the most laudable things a human can do.
> With Group Policy, the computer's administrator chooses a specific domain to trust to receive policies from. With DHCP, whatever random network the computer connects to can send whatever settings it wants. This is why it's okay for Group Policy to control security-sensitive settings but not for DHCP to.

Computers don't connect to random networks. The user chooses to, and has the ability to not use the DNS from DHCP for any given network.

> Imagine if the coffee shop's DHCP server sent an option that meant "the client should open these ports in its firewall". Would you want your computer to respect that?

It already does this. The client gets its gateway via DHCP, which is not only the device that typically firewalls local networks from the rest of the internet, it's the device that can see and modify all of your traffic.

> Why is DHCP-provided DNS okay being the default, but Mozilla-provided DNS not? The user didn't choose the former either.

Because of what is necessary to change it. There has to be some default, but it should be possible for the user to change it all in one place for their entire LAN or device.

> The problem with the router doing it is that clients can't trust the router isn't owned by someone trying to spy on them.

They certainly can when it's their own router, and they can manually configure a DNS server of their choosing when it isn't.

Meanwhile, how can the user trust that Cloudflare isn't trying to spy on them?

> From a hardcoded default, e.g., Cloudflare, Google, Mullvad, or Quad9. Consider how most computers have a hardcoded default list of NTP servers to use rather than relying on getting that from DHCP.

NTP servers see that your computer wants to know what time it is. DNS servers see all kinds of privacy-sensitive information, so centralizing this in any way is inherently dangerous and so is making it more difficult for the user to change the default.

You might be able to find fingerless wool gloves at a bike shop.

They need to be low profile as opposed to the convertible mittens that flip up to expose fingers, for example.

Do they still sell Intel Macs? If not that's not a problem you need to concern yourself with.

I'd always go for a Mac until I can't these days. It's my default computer recommendation. Not in budget, need to play games, need to do something Apple doesn't want you to? Guess it's not gonna be the MacBook then. But otherwise? Get the Mac. Best laptop I've ever owned.
I’m sure people will be able to run it on their optical toe implants or whatever. I grew up hacking assembler as a kid in the 8086 dos era and am still amazed to see it run in a browser window like it’s nothing. Entire Linux systems run in the browser now.
Everone forgets that the reason Steve wanted a touch screen was so that the interface could better adjust itself to what as needed at the time. A few apps gets this right, and funny enough when you need to type a phone number into an <input> that is correctly labelled as such it is pretty fast, and your browser can do intelligent things like making it trivial to scroll through your contact lists.

While typing text is easier on a keyboard phone, the cost is that it cannot adjust as easily.

Sadly I don't know of any app that takes advantage of this and tries to create an entirely new interface for email (Apples builtin sure does not) and so we are stuck with this situation you have described so well.

I do wonder if the ideal email inteface for the iPhone is just a connection to ChatGPT? Maybe a couple yes/no buttons and then it gives you a draft to send?
I don't know what point you're trying to make, beyond just objecting to the points that I'm trying to make. Not interested in continuing.

I'd love for Postgres to adopt ULID as a first class variant of the same basic 128bit wide binary optimized column type they use for UUIDs, but I don't expect they will, while its "popular" its not likely popular enough to have support for them to maintain it in the long run... Also the smart money ahead of time would have been for the ULID spec to sacrifice a few data bits to leave the version specifying sections of the bit field layout unused in the ULID binary spec (https://github.com/ulid/spec#binary-layout-and-byte-order) for the sake of future compatibility with "proper" UUIDs... Performing one quick bitfield modification on every row in PostgreSQL would have been less painful as in set bit, vs load parse, repack in order to re-computing the appropriate UUIDv7s (or UUIDv8s for some reason) since the primary key update transaction should be roughly the same speed either way.
Very cool pro tip. What sort of improvement can one expect?
Ask HN: Automatic YouTube Playback Speed Adjustment Based on Language
I'm currently looking for a browser extension that can automatically adjust the playback speed of YouTube videos based on their language. It can be quite cumbersome to manually adjust the speed every time I switch between videos in different languages. I was wondering if there is a plugin available that can automatically set the playback speed, such as 1.2x for English videos and 0.8x for Japanese videos.
Unless I've missed something, the primary factor for grid level storage is cost. You can make a super high tech, super efficient system, super dense, and none of that matter if it costs a lot (bar maybe some edge cases).

This is refusing to learn at an industry where continually learning is one of the most important things you need to do. You're actively choosing to be bad at your job.

I never said de jure. What a weird comment to make.
It is.

But is it "good enough" to convince some people to use it instead?

For the moment the best it can do is to provide an (ever improving) basic alternative to Unity that forces them (and the market in General) to not be greedy and careless.

This is probably good for the game engine market as a whole.
Would it be possible to prototype something using the Wikipedia as a starting point?
But I'm not a judge and this isn't court.

The adversarial system has a time and a place, but in this case it's not like Google ever publishes blog posts on why ProtonMail may or may not be bad, and it would be quite impossible for them to debunk every accusation against them.

This isn't the adversarial system as much as it is just one company making marketing material for themselves by attacking another company.

Things I'd suggest: literally any approach that doesn't divert funding to mega-developers who use the "housing crisis" narrative to drive the problems everyone's complaining about in the first place, and an excellent place to start would be dismantling the hyperconcentration of capital around a handful of major metro areas. How best to accomplish that is left as an exercise, but understand there is no housing crisis. The real crisis centers around the lack of opportunity outside of major metro areas. Folks wouldn't clump this tight if other options were available.

I honesty believe that the recent new interest in such not-so-new concept spark from the failing RTO policies, those who want to keep humans like intensive farmed poultry because cities are a business, seen that the hard stick does not work try the sweet one "if you comply you'll work less days", added to the ridiculous hybrid work model.

I sincerely hope that fails as well.
This is a bit of an embarrassment for that country in that they aren’t trusting their own people to actually build cars properly and have to build up from just reassembling cars. I do not expect them to hit their target of fully manufacturing EVs by mid-decade.

Torvalds vs Tanenbaum
I asked a straightforward, sincere question and then, after being inexplicably downvoted, elaborated further.

Then THAT was downvoted, with no answer to the original question or excuse for the attacks. That kind of infantile behavior brings down the site and should be called out, which is exactly what I did.

I'm not going to pussyfoot around assholes who try to bury other users' questions or comments for no reason. Why don't you ask THOSE people why they're attacking other users?

See above where the OP eventually answered the question I asked in a totally civil and helpful manner, and all is good. I realize that moderating a Web site is a huge job; but if you're going to actually look at individual cases, go after the meddling douchebags, not the guy simply asking for clarification.
