Of course this only works at one level and not arbitrarily deeply, but you still need to check for None with this code; it may actually be better to write `x.get("key") or {}` so that you always get an empty dict.

I write 'may' because the difference between None and an empty dict may be very subtle and rarely does the API specify with enough precision what are supposed to be the semantics of each case.
The transcript is AI-generated sadly, so it isn't typo-free enough for Cmd-F always. Especially programming content gets messed up. "char" -> "car" and so on and so forth, but GPT-4 will correctly fix all that up.

You can kind of calculate the value as (number of people invested)x(amount they hold in us$)/(number of bitcoins)

For the present price that is approx 48 mil x $10k / 16 mil = $30k

Early 2017 would have been 1.6 mil x $10k / 16 mil = $1k

It's rough and ready but kind of how things play out. Most of the growth in price over the years has come from more people buying in. Not sure where it ends. We might get another 10x and 500 million people at some point?

> Nothing about those Treasuries has actually changed other than the fact that they earn less interest than a newly issued treasury and if BoA needed to sell them quickly, they would be worth less than what they were paid for.

They bought them with money that isn't theirs and if they were to sell them all to return people's money then they would be bankrupt. So yes, a lot about those Treasuries has changed as the value of the asset is based on time and rate. Those Treasuries do in fact have a market price and although they'd return all their principal eventually, it isn't today and is actually a long time from today.

It's completely disingenuous to say "nothing has changed". Nothing has changed other than the fact that the market value of the treasury is far less than what the bank could stand if forced liquidate them. Only a fool would keep any sort of serious money with BoA that isn't FDIC insured, etc.

Two questions:

1. I’m assuming I need to pay for my own open AI key for access to the API. That’s no problem I believe in simple transactions where I give a company money and they give me goods and services.

2. On that same note, what is your business plan? Again, the only answer I would agree with is “that we are going to ask for enough money so our business is going to be an ongoing concern”.

I really want you to avoid of at possible that we see a blog post in a couple of years about “our amazing journey”

If it isn’t obvious, I’m saying I see some real value in your plug in and I’m hoping for the best from you and will gladly pay real money for it.

I don't think it's a matter of trust and awareness, because your browser is already happily executing the javascript payload before you have decided whether to trust the website or not. And users are completely unaware of what the payload is doing unless it's spinning at 100% cpu or throwing UI elements in the user's face. It's a matter of convenience mostly, from my point of view.

The HN population consists for a large part of computer power users and developers who are fully aware of the capabilities of browsers and the dangers of remote code execution. I'll never understand why the default stance on HN still mostly seems to be javascript good, if not for the convenience factor.

Show HN: We hand-picked the best working trips for digital nomads
Hello HN community,

This is Alessio and Federico, makers and digital nomads.
We participated to many organised trips for remote workers over the last few years and we loved it.
We decided to build a platform where you can search and compare all the communities offering this type of trips while also giving you the best price in the market.
We would love to receive feedback about the product and what kind of feature you would like to see next.
Please ask questions as well!

Thanks!
How is the underwriting and approval determination done? It might be proprietary, but I've always wondered what was being done behind the scenes to account for unintended biases as it relates to zip code, applicant background, etc.

My point of view here is someone that’s lost their access to 23andme, not using it for SSO for other services.

It is, under any remotely common usage of the term. A victimless crime is one where the directly involved parties all consented to the action.

If you consider the government itself as a "directly-involved party" then you would consider no crime to be victimless, since it's always the government who prosecutes a crime.

If you invoke something like "society at large" as the victim, then again you can exclude any action from being a victimless crime if you happen to think society is worse off if that action happens (e.g. certain sexual acts between consenting adults, certain types of drug use, etc.).

Tax evasion, along with similar crimes like smuggling and insider trading, are widely listed as examples of victimless crimes.
> Will ublock origin

Since the attack is likely JavaScript based, provided one configures Ublock Origin to by default deny all JavaScript (this is not Ublock's default mode, you have to turn on "I am an advanced user" mode and then block all JS by default using the advanced user UI controls) then the answer is very likely: yes, it will. Because if it is JS based - if no JS runs, no exploit happens.

The syntax has a bit of a learning curve, but there's a library called glom that can be helpful in parsing heterogeneous JSON. Specifically it has a coalesce operator that let's you define multiple paths to get the data you are trying to get at, with a default value if none of the paths are valid.

https://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#defaults-with...

e.g.

target = [{"a": {"b": "c"}}, {"a": {"c": "e"}}, {"a": {}}]
results = glom(target, [Coalesce("a.b", "a.c", default="")]) # -> ["c", "e", ""]

Build things that use materials that aren't fire hazards and have been engineered to support themselves and the stresses they should survive are the primary imperatives of residential construction.

I think his point was that it was a poor choice of placebo.

"Ritonavir is not active against or thought to directly contribute to the antiviral activity of the medication against SARS-CoV-2."

Legacy peripheral is why I keep an old Mac mini in my music making setup. I have a tascam mixer/audio interface that the whole thing is built around but tascam never released a 64 bit osx driver. They released a 64 but windows driver but stopped support just after windows 7 so it’s still a nightmare to get it to work on any windows version post 7 even with the 64 bit driver. There are workarounds to get it working in windows 10/11 and there’s even ways to get it working in modern macOS by getting it working on a windows machine and doing a network midi bridge although you lose the audio interface part.

All that’s a headache so I just keep my old Mac running old software. It’s annoying to not have the latest features, an ancient version of logic that runs like shit, no support for new plugins, etc, but it still works.

Maybe someday I’ll upgrade but it would be pretty costly to do so and this works despite the headaches. Really wish manufacturers were required to at least release documentation of hardware like this when they dropped support; it was quite expensive back in 2005 or whenever I purchased it and now it’s basically useless outside of this niche scenario. Frustrating and one of the many projects I want to someday get to although I’m probably too stupid to reverse engineer a FireWire bus device and write a driver ha
