> The only problem is, PoW is considered harmful even by the larger crypto community, to the point where alternatives were not only considered, but also implemented (e.g. PoS).

I have nothing against proof of stake, I think it's fine but inherently less decentralized than proof of work. The whole idea was that anyone with a computer could participate and be rewarded for contributing to the decentralization of the network. In order to actually participate in ETH proof of stake validation, you need to own 32 ETH. That excludes vast amounts of people including myself.

It's a tradeoff and I'm not entirely sure it's worth it. Compared to the current status quo of huge centralized BTC mining operations it certainly looks attractive. There are better proof of work implementations though like Monero which better guarantee 1 CPU = 1 vote. I'm not ready to write it off yet.

>User : Hello. I'm not feeling too well. Could you give me some health advice?

>Monad-GPT: I pray you to take heart, and not be so heavy at my coming. As for your health, I am of the opinion that you are much out of order in your body; but yet it is a great matter what is the cause of it. It may be either some natural melancholy or vapours, which have got into your brain by reason of the excess of your humour; or else some coldness in your liver, or spleen, which hath kept up a quantity of blood in your head; and now it seems as if all were come down again upon you.

>User: You're right. It seems to be melancholy. What should I do?

>Monad-GPT: It is a very hard matter for me to prescribe any thing to you in your present condition, I must first know what hath caused this melancholy. What have you been doing? have you taken any physic since you were well? and what kind of diet do you eat?

>User: I eat nearly nothing, for I am in love.

>Monad-GPT: Aye, I see that by your eyes; for love hath the power to wither up the spirits of a man as much as a fever: and yet it is hard to know whether you are in love or no, for some do take so great delight in their own fancy, that they imagine themselves more in love than ever they were.

Tell HN: Firefox has madea lotof progress. Let the browser wars continue
Like many others around here, i switch over to chrome around the v8 days when it was a superior runtime and haven't looked back. Due to the recent youtube shanangins with adblock and adding a Thread.Sleep(5 seconds) call to every webpage load, i decided to try out firefox again. I had alot of extensions (ublock, bitwarden etc) so i was concerned this was gonna be a whole thing.

I downloaded firefox, it imported the chrome history and all the plugins i had and i was pretty much continuing where i left off without any issues or "noticing the change".

I'm no longer concerned about manifest v3, youtube adblock warfare etc and it's nice to have a complete drop in replacement for chrome so we don't end up like the intel days where it had no competition and suffered with 4 core cpus for a decade.

> What exactly would compel me to want to use cash for anything? What about my life would improve?

You can buy things without a third party bank skimming a bit from your purchases.

You can buy things even when Chase and Visa outages occur.

You can give cash to people without credit cards.

Children can manage money without their parents knowing or being able to monitor their spending.

Same with people in abusive relationships; the abused party can hide cash under their bed (or somewhere else) more easily than they can hide their bank account from their abusive partner.

You can buy things from the black market without being traced. For example, you can set up a lemonade stand without a permit with cash (this is illegal in many US states). You might argue "oh, but that should just be legal; that's not a problem with going cashless inherently." But there will always be stupid laws and regulations like this, and cash is a good way to shield yourself from them.
Relevant graph for reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_window#/media/File...

The terrestrial blackbody curves are in the top right (labelled "210 K - 310 K"), and the filled blue curve below those is radiative emission with atmospheric absorption subtracted out.

- "Within the mid-infrared range, which is where heat radiation from typical earthbound objects is concentrated, the most applicable atmospheric transmission band is in the 8- to 13-micrometer-wavelength range."

My understanding is that your average thunderbolt 3 equipment, when running in thunderbolt mode, did not directly pass through any USB traffic. Instead a dock with USB 2 or 3 ports had to contain a USB controller that connects back over PCIe. This was very common, lots of docks have them.

Here's a good breakdown: https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/mjz2pu/usb4_a...

"Titan Ridge, however, would disconnect the USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 hubs immediately upon entry into TBT3 mode."

"USB4 (and Thunderbolt 4) don't do this for the classic USB 1.1/2.0 wires of D+ and D-. When a hub is operating in advanced USB4 mode, classic USB 1.1/2.0 signals still ride through a normal USB 2.0 hub"

"disabling PCIe also means disabling the way that all Thunderbolt 3 docks get to USB 1.1/2.0/3.2 devices at all"

The rebuttal by Daniel (andersource.dev) is useful, generally. However, when he writes ...

> The history of statistics is well out of scope for this post, but very succinctly, my answer is that statistics is an attempt to objectively quantify surprise.

... I cannot agree. Statistics is not this; it is much broader. One may or may not be surprised by particular statistics, sure, but there are _specific_ concepts that map more directly to surprise, such as entropy from information theory.

This rebuttal seems weak because it’s using unbounded datasets (population). A big issue with the DK research is using bounded data (test scores). For example if I get 100% right it’s mathematically impossible to have overestimated.

Platinum, Gold and BCE.

I don't really like the Platinum but then I got a huge SUB and the benefits, credits and perks outweigh the $695 AF. It's just complex to use to get AF back.

I really like the Gold. It's has a $250 AF and $240 in easy to use credits.

The BCE is $0 AF and 3% cash back from online retail purchase. The BBP is also good, 2x on everything and no AF. A quadfecta.

I used to use debit only but I didn't get anything from this. I'm happy with Amex but I may revisit the Platinum.

It's critically important that you retain the ability to pay and be paid when the state would really prefer that you not be able to.
No, fraud would be if Uber asked for your battery level to determine price and you (or your browser perhaps) lied. Not wanting someone selling you something to know you are desperate -- in this case because your battery is about to die -- is just a rational decision to avoid them taking advantage of your situation. There's a difference between not showing your cards and lying about the cards you are holding.
Along with that climate/environment should favor us and selling the cultivable is the big challenge because not all farmers can able to do it by themself, so for selling the cultivable they have to depend on dealers/brokers who actually set the price for farmers efforts and dealers/brokers who earn in hefty will less efforts in comparable with farmers.

I found Endless Sky to be ok, but it didn’t hold my interest in the end. The early part of exploring a new game was fun, just going through the mechanics of trade and navigation and such.

My one combat was decidedly one sided and a disaster. I honestly don’t remember the game play of it much. Most of the navigation and movement is automated.

By the time I got enough money for another ship, I had become disenchanted with the mechanics. Trying to min/max sales and trade and such. And was never strong enough to play Galactic Marshal or anything like that.

That’s when I put it down. Just may be the game doesn’t suit me. Or I never got into some sweet spot of challenge to engage me. And since the galaxy is fixed (at least I think it’s fixed), I didn’t see much opportunity in replay of it.

Nixos/nixpkgs: isolated dependencies / services, easy to override if needed, configs follow relatively consistent pattern (main options exposed, others can be passed as text), service files can do isolation by whitelisting paths without going full-blown self-contained-os container.

Why would it matter if you take 1 minute or 1 day? Either way, the baseline expectation of functionality is for state to persist from one page request to the next page request, no matter how short or long that interval happens to be, and some kind of local storage (typically a cookie) facilitates that for both cases equally. Is it just to replicate the experience of that for which an online cart is a metaphor: with a physical shopping cart, a store employee will empty it out if it's abandoned overnight unless you explicitly ask them to hold it?
Hello and thanks for our interested. There's a paperback version here: https://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Time-Navigation-Tom-Bensky/... (same ed. as the Kindle version).
There are a lot of use cases for docker, I think this is complaining about a few specific things in more complex applications that probably shouldn't be deployed that way because you're not just exposing port 80, it's a whole tool deployed to end users, like an appliance. But that's not my primary use case for Docker.

For me, the best thing about Docker is that it's brought the average developer experience from "oh, I think I have an install.sh for that around somewhere" to mostly repeatable builds that are mostly self documenting. Any time a tool is self documenting it's a win. If you want the cake, you have to write down the recipe. That's huge. It's forcing lazy devs (which we all are) to just write it down. At this point the amount of "weird bearded guy tribal knowledge" that is now documented in a Dockerfile somewhere is a treasure trove.

Things still break all the time for a million dumb reasons but as a least common denominator it's a great place to start. It's not a solution for everything and it sounds like that's what this article is about. Docker+Compose is not great for everything, so don't use it for those situations. But it's so much better than what was before.
Thanks! I'll pass it along!
