> And your 'alternative' is a volatile token backed by nothing

All that matters is that there are enough people willingly using it to make it worthwhile for the project to accept these donations. Furthermore, it's not "my" alternative, I'm not trying persuade anyone to use, or not to use different avenues of accepting donations.

I'm just questioning HackerNews' collective tendency to publicly shame projects that accept crypto donations. It's a shining legitimate use case for cryptocurrency, and rather than applauding it or at least ignoring it, you feel compelled to deny its existence and remind everyone that crypto is "only" used for scams and drugs - why?

It comes across like the vegan stereotype of vegans reminding everyone they're vegan and trying to convince them that they should become vegan too.

> If you want to talk about 0% fees, this doesn't exist in any widely used crypto token so I don't know where you got that from.

You're mistaken, high TX fees are an exception, not the norm. Both Monero (which this project accepts) and Litecoin transactions cost less than $0.001.

This is hilarious, but I am genuinely concerned about Goldman Sachs dropping Apple and the cc and savings account ending up with a shittier bank.
Any of those instructions could be wrapped in a C function or intrinsic if they were valuable enough
Knowing that it's costing Goldman billions of dollars is a really strong selling point for the Apple savings account. Apple should consider just putting that in an ad.
That’s one explanation. Another might be that for non-tech insiders (ie the majority of the world’s population), the formulation of privacy and its claimed harms that is so often championed(desired state)/decried (current state) here on HN is just a total non-issue. And thus, it goes unmentioned.
Youtube is the worst with this behavior.

Have you done a search on that website recently? There will be around 2-3 actual results, followed by shorts, followed by 2 more real results, then a "People also watched" sections, then a couple more results, then another section, then a couple of results, then a "For you" section, then a couple results, then a "the latest from X" section, then a "From related searches" section.

I'm sorry, did I ASK for all of this nonsense? I was looking for a specific video.
You're not wrong! I don't want to see Rust cryptocurrency jobs, so I built this site. If you don't agree with that, then there are loads of great sites for finding Rust jobs in crypto. I'm not purporting to be the site for Rust jobs. It's simply a curated list selected by me.

This is a complicated discussion, but for any given "technology" (i.e. set of available methods for producing every good/service in a society) and set of preferences among agents (e.g. households, firms) it is generally the case that there are many possible profit rates and wage schedules that allow for equilibrium.

For a very formal an influential discussion of this, see Sraffa's "Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities".

Historically, an idea closely related to the one you are articulating has been known as the "iron law of wages".

this will only worsen Canada's already-brutal housing crisis, and just be inflationary in general

I mean...you're a landlord, and now everyone has $1000 a month more...obviously you are going after some of that...what are people going to do, move? where?

same with Canada's near monopolies on groceries and mobile networks...of course these folks are just going to raise prices to capture the free money, not hard given than there is no real competition to prevent this

I subscribed to Youtube Premium when it came out, back when it was still called Youtube Red. I've written a couple of times in the past about why I eventually gave up on the service. I can dig some of those comments up if you want me to but the short version is: not only am I willing to pay for content, I have subscribed and paid for content through the exact option you describe and it wasn't the cost that drove me away.

I will also point out, Youtube Premium is not primarily an ad-free Youtube service (and neither was Youtube Red, it also came bundled with Google Play Music). It is a paid video service and music service that happens to also contain ad-free viewing. Youtube Premium Lite did exist as an ad-free Youtube service. Google axed it.

They axed it because Google doesn't want that -- it does not want to have a service that is priced around specifically the cost of removing ads from Youtube. Of course they axed Youtube Premium Lite, because Google wants to have a cable package, and then to be able to point to that cable package and say "see how expensive ad-free viewing is?"

It would be a long conversation to talk about why that bundling is problematic, both from a competitive standpoint (see Amazon Prime) and from a "support creators" standpoint (the amount of money going back to creators is much lower than they'll get from direct support). But I'm going to keep going back to -- there is no option to pay specifically to remove ads from Youtube; Google killed that service and it's now only available as part of a bundling system with other services.
these numbers have gotten so big they ceased to mean anything for most people as they cannot put their heads around it .
oh in that case ill use it next time a buy a ferrari on my weekly shop.
>I've done real-time too.

There is a case for signals in strictly real-time, strictly high-performance, and also strictly realtime+high-performance code.

You have decided to go strictly for high-performance, for your well-argued reasons, and you've abandoned a standard practice for your stated claims, but this isn't just about your code - its about how people can mis-use signals, and in your case you're mis-using signals by not using them.

It is the advice:

>"Yes be very afraid of signals."

.. which feels not entirely appropriate.

So I took a look at the bc code, and I too am terrified of your use of longjmp.

It appears to me you've gotten somewhat smelly code because you didn't find the appropriate datatype for your case, and decided to roll your own scheduling instead. Ouch.

>As of 2.7.0, my bc had 77 places where signals were checked, and I was probably missing a few.

To refactor this to a simple CAS operation to see if the thread should terminate, doesn't seem too unrealistic to me. Only 77 places to drop a macro that does the op - checking only if the signal handler has told your high-performance thread us to stop, hup, die, etc.

Signals are awesome, and work great - obviously - for many, many high-performance applications, and your high-performance, CPU-bound application might feel like the only way you could do it - but you certainly can attain the same performance and still handle signals like a well-behaved application that doesn't have to take big leaps just to stay ahead of the scheduler ..
There are, I also forgot to mention general product placement/integrations, sponsorships and stuff like that, although SponsorBlock has put a dent in that (primarily pre-roll type ads)

> none of the EPA’s tools “work” against wildfire pollution so it makes sense to factor that out.

Factor that out for part of the analysis on one hand, and include it and add some new tools to the EPA on the other.

Wildfires are made worse by bad forest management and climate change, and the USA isn't a small player in the field. Claiming that it can't have an impact is preposterous.
Touche, but I really doubt that most of their 6B, if they do sell it, would be sold on a retail platform like that.
Agreed. Not acknowledging regulation's role in enabling a sustainable free market economy is navel gazing.
YouTube Music is hilariously bad. I doubt there's a person alive who is using that out of choice.
I think that's wholesale falsehood. The wins in the last 200 years are so dramatic for the average person, especially in the West. Infant mortality rate and the chance of survival to adulthood alone are such glorious victories against Death that I would gladly vote for any system that would give us those wins and create a trillionaire.

All that wondrous science has come from this system. No. Evidence is evidence. This thing works, and works dramatically well. We live like Gods compared to people of the 1800s. My wife and I noticed this the other day. They fought wars back in the day for a fraction of the spices that I buy ethically today.

They weren't happy with the Apple credit card either, yet still went ahead with the savings account. Seems self-inflicted.
So the more I use the Apple Card, pay it off in full. The more GS is in the hole?

Also an additional fu if I deposit more money into the savings account since they have to invest that money to guarantee the interest rate. Lol

I love it. The savings account is offering 4.15% right now. Might move $10K into account just as a small fu to the GS executives.

Yeah, I don't want to pretend this is a totally new idea. There's not a lot of totally new ideas.

But there was a lot of things tried in the 1960s and 1970s whose only fault was that they were simply too early. For example, people were researching neural nets back then. They basically got nowhere. In hindsight, they never could have, simply because it was too soon and the requisite power wasn't there yet.

A phone is more heterogenous today than I think even supercomputers were in the 1990s, and the trend is only increasing diversity, with neural processors on the near horizon and quantum on the far horizon (as it seems quantum processors are far more likely to end up functioning as a sort of fancy "accelerator card" than their own CPUs). & honestly even CPUs are almost viewable as their C subset and their vector processing subset, and even "within" the same CPU the two don't always cross particularly gracefully.
How did no one in their entire finance or accounting department catch this very early on? It's a very simple process to compare assets to liabilities... usually accounting is monitoring bank balances on a daily/weekly/monthly for their bank to book reconciliation. The entire company must have been full of criminals for them to have gotten away with this for so long.
> Once the free period expires, start at $1, then double each year.

That's going to create a lot of paperwork for not much value. Much better to have 10 year extensions. Your pricing scheme is functionally equivalent to starting at $2000 for 10 years, and increasing the cost by 1000x for each additional 10 years.
A lot of us don't hate it. we think it's overrated and does not deserve all the hype it got, and a lot of ppl have lost $ chasing this hype or scammed. It is a thing and is not going away, but so what. Beanie Babies and pet rocks still exist too.

Modern Chinese wives in the US have 100 percent "fuck all" to do with the topic at hand which is traditional gender roles. Would you like me to dig deeper and find gender roles in modern china and ancient china? Same pattern bro.

Bro that's just one mistaken link is an essay and the essay is right. For godsakes it's Afghanistan. Muslims. One of the very cultures who pushes gender roles to the extreme and you just decided to attack that point lol.

Would you like a more official source out of the millions that point to the same pattern? Here: https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/afghan-culture/afghan-cultu...

I can find tons more because this pattern is real. Just a simple search yields so many results across so many cultures. Rather then attack the weakest link in an obvious agenda based strategy you should address the overall point at hand in good faith discussion. It's like I present to you 10 links and you dismiss the whole thing because one was an "essay" give me a break.

I never said women don't work as hard as men don't put words in my mouth. But the roles of what men and women do generally have clear delineation.

>It's not to your credit that you attempt to bludgeon yor way through with a mass of links in the hope that no one will look closely.

It's not because I didn't do this. All I did was do a quick search to prove your obviously wrong point wrong with sources.

It's not to your credit to provoke such an accusatory and targeted attack.

You say I hope you wouldn't look to closely... well you looked closely and took 2 minor and miniscule details and constructed a full fledged baseless counter attack. Yeah, sure. What you're doing is called a witch hunt, doesn't look like your trying to start a discussion... Seems your in it for optics don't accuse me of that.

If I was in it for the optics, this point wouldn't even be brought up. Threads like this attract negative karma for me because it's not a mainstream opinion.

Bro, I want you to look closely. Press your eyes on every letter. You present facts which you pulled out of your ass, I present sources. Address the sources wholistically.
These days you can avoid a lot of direct human-human interaction, which means there is no or little training. Wasn't easy to live that way not too long ago.

above and beyond the existence of a savings account with a reasonable APY, what i like most about the apple card/savings situation is that interacting with the bank itself is entirely abstracted away yet i still get all the backing guarantees of a real bank, like FDIC insurance.

I’m surprised I have Kantara listed anywhere, lol.

I had a few utilities. A window manager, for example. And PartBank was the registry and online store for software. Important, because if you open the document and you are missing software, it was impossible to view. But since I had a registry of viewers and how to install them, it solved a few problems. I spoke at WWDC and MacWorld about these things. This was the App Store I wanted bundled into the OS.

I had another utility called Kantara Internet Search Service (KISS). My young baby self had gotten a deal to sell 1 million copies of it to Apple to include on the install for education. Steve Jobs killed that deal too. Sigh.

> The Consumer Price Index is just that, an index

Except it's not. It's how we calculate inflation, which in turns drives how we measure GDP growth. It's also how we measure productivity and purchasing power variation over time. This measure has a very big impact, including on our assessment of policies and the evolution of the economies of nations.

Off course there can be no absolute value for such a thing, but the problem is that economists have been obsessed with “real” prices and disregarding “nominal” values (you'd notice the irony of naming the arbitrarily constructed thing as “real”), and so almost every economic analysis includes CPI and now everything depends on it so its measurement become included everywhere indirectly. And it is in fact a big problem.

There are a lot of claims in there with pretty much nothing to back them up. From my perspective, Youtube Premium is the shining example of a "streaming service" done right. One tier, all the features. They aren't upcharging you to a second paid tier to remove ads, 4k streaming, unlock more videos, etc.. like a lot of the other streaming services do.

If I had to cancel all of my streaming services except one, Youtube Premium would be the one I keep. And that's say a lot given that it's the only one that makes all of its content "free" (with caveats of ads, tracking, etc..) for unpaid users.
Thanks. That's interesting. If I understand correctly what you say, analog cannot be used for training but might be used to bake a trained static model. I think things are evolving too fast now for pre-trained models to be baked in silicon but it's a matter of time for it to become common.

Honestly, there is a lot of praise of the middleware in these projects, but I recently found out that most of them are unable to handle parsing the Accept and Accept-Encoding header properly, that is: according to the RFC, with weights.

This means that the general perception "these projects are production-quality but stdlib isn't" is misleading. If I have to choose web framework or library that implements feature X incorrectly versus one that doesn't have X at all and I have to write it by myself, I will with no doubt choose the latter.
