A school can't have rules if they're that afraid of one parent complaining. They're too weak.

What if the student beats other kids up, and the parent behaves similarly in response to discipline? Should the school tolerate that defiance, too?

The school obviously can't take the phone and throw it in a shredder or keep it for the year, but they can and should be able to keep it for the school day (and every other school day, if need be).
Are you referring to the, Blockstream hijacking of the GitHub repo?

It was one of the oddest stories in Bitcoin history how a for profit company led by Greg Maxwell and Adam Back wrestled the keys away from the one legitimate contributor Gavin Andresen, then put every remaining coder on the payroll.

As you say, Bitcoin Core is Not open source in the normal meaning.

For practical programming I'd probably agree, but if the point is to learn a non-Algol way of thinking then I think SML is a better way to go; OCaml makes it easier to write imperative-style code, for better and for worse.

The point is that while all these costs may seem eye watering & renewables do indeed not have that problem directly (they can have their own set of cost and ecological problems indirectly through requiring storage), they are actually comparatively tiny & it's only because fossil fuels externalize most of their cost that we don't have an easier baseline to compare against. There's varying estimates for how much climate change is costing us but some metrics have it at ~1T/year alone (not including all the healthcare costs associated with pollution from burning fossil fuels as those are even harder to estimate).

As for why I ignore Fukushima or Chernobyl, that's because for the next phase of scaling out nuclear, we shouldn't really be building LWRs. We should be building nuclear designs that fail safe (e.g. nuclear reactors). Even still, LWR designs being built today are much much safer than the designs used for Chernobyl and Fukushima. As for cost overruns and scandals, I can't really comment on them as I don't know any details except to say that cost overruns and scandals are not unique to large scale nuclear projects. Solar has it's own share of problems where grid operators are struggling with rooftop solar (see the political battle in California) & figuring out how to handle the variability of solar plants since we still don't really have scalable storage solutions (arguably maybe we should be mandating that some solar and wind plants have onsite storage to more accurately represent the cost of adding those renewables to the grid & is an externality frequently ignored when discussing the cost of solar/wind).

Don't get me wrong - solar & wind are great. If we can do more of it then great. I just think at a fundamental technological level it can't scale as quickly to replace fossil fuel dependency in the energy grid on any timescale that matters for us addressing global warming.
I'm 100% in agreement with you.

After decades I finally settled on my preferred mechanical pencil brand. I'm not usually into new technology but these tablets have brought out a sense of excitement I rarely get. After trying them out though it's just not quite there for me. I still prefer my mechanical pencil and sketchbook.

The Bitcoin Core GitHub repo was long ago hijacked by the for profit company, Blockstream. Every update made since their takeover has hurt the core principal of Bitcoin, which is to be peer to peer digital cash, a replacement for Visa-like daily payments.
I had looked into it. In my area, I can get 1 Gbps residential service or a 50Mbps business service for the same cost. That speed is ridiculously low.

Following piece of practical layman info was hard to locate in TFA, had to look up Wikipedia instead:

"Rhizophagus irregularis (previously known as Glomus intraradices[3][4]) is an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. Rhizophagus irregularis is also commonly used in scientific studies of the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant and soil improvement. Until 2001, the species was known and widely marketed as Glomus intraradices, but molecular analysis of ribosomal DNA led to the reclassification of all arbuscular fungi from Zygomycota phylum to the Glomeromycota phylum."

Im talking about corporal punishment too, or at least im not drawing a distinction. the commonality I was illustrating is that violence can be a solution of last resort when other methods have failed, and it is possible for other methods to fail.

>They didn't ask if you think violence "has a place". They asked if it's what normally happens for your interpersonal conflicts. Those two ideas are not at all close.

I think it was an intentionally loaded and insulting question. yeah, im sure the poster normally resorts to violence interpersonal conflicts when they cant agree on a move with their partner.

Plus, it is just a crappy argument. The parent wasn't arguing that corporal punishment should normally be the tool to resolve issues, so it is a faulty comparison.
> It should be obvious: that's the comment I was replying to.

Going by what you wrote, you were replying to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38524906

You didn't say a single word about the next two comments in the chain. So I don't see how they act as context.

> Yeah, I did figure it out. But we're not Humpty Dumptys here, so we don't get to redefine words on a whim.

> In short: that's what he meant, but that's not what "public" means.

It's close enough.

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

The strongest plausible interpretation is that you would use a different word than "public", but it's a pointless quibble. Not "How **** do you have to be", "You're not as clever".

Those insults are wildly unfitting for a complaint about wording.

Interestingly, in my country, people seem to be also migrating from Facebook et al to Reddit. Our main local, country-specific subreddit is clearly gaining users these days. (FB has been heavily used by the entire society here.)

I haven't followed this -- what's the demographic shift of Reddit about?

Aside of that, I think somebody on HN also pointed out that it is now easier to get downvotes here, because of an emerging trend to use downvote as an indicator of disagreeing with the OP or GP. Maybe the rise in upvotes is also part of the same "paradigm shift" (which I personally wouldn't like).

It would actually be great to have a HN user-level option that hides all vote/point counts, including the ones given to your own posts. Can probably be easily done with some browser addon, though, but a HN option would be nicer.

I see a lot of resentment here for this software. But it’s perfectly possible to make your own implementation of the bitcoin protocol.

Like Luke, who made Knots. And other versions exist too.

The real pain comes from the choices in the past to keep bitcoin inclusive. Smaller blocks mean the ability to download and verify on simple cheap hardware.

Have a look at ETH, SOL or EOS. What kind of server park do you need to run those chains?

Zürich, Switzerland

Pros: Safe, Extremely good public transport(probably the best in the world), has 4 seasons, close to rest of Europe by air and train, Alps close by, English is spoken by the locals, decent night life, lots of job opportunity, plenty of small boutiques. Also have 10Gbit/s connection for 50CHF/month.

Cons: Very hard to rent a flat, forget about buying, very expensive, the Zürich dialect is extremely hard to understand and learn

Personal income tax and the tax treatment of businesses are different - as a business, you’d earn some revenue from doordash while showing some expense (like gas, insurance premiums, and your salary). Your company would then pay tax on the net and you’d pay tax on the salary you give yourself from your company.

Not a CPA so I’m pretty sure I’m oversimplifying this and there are lower bounds I don’t know about which prevent most gig workers from operating like this.
Very cool! I love seeing "behind the scenes" on this kind of stuff. I always check out these kind of articles the moment they come up because there's always some really neat history to learn about. I can only imagine what kind of awesome artifacts of video game history are still in some devs' attic or basement... Super thankful for people (like the author(s)) who seek and research/document this stuff. :)

Oh, the "tank" screenshot reminded me a bit of Spectre, an old Macintosh game, even though I imagine there's no direct relation there.
Sometimes violence is necessary in an urgent situation. This is easy to prove.

This does not prove that violence is sometimes necessary as a punishment. Punishments are very different from urgent situations.

You very much should be drawing a distinction.
I loooove Django, any project that I work on that isn't Django causes me to yearn for it greatly. However, there's two things that have been minorly bothering me about it:

- The complete lack of any motivation to support type hints (yes I know about stubs and the other 3rd party).

- The GraphQL situation is a mess. Graphene on again off again development and Strawberry being not quite all the way stable yet sucks compared to how baller DRF is. It's still a massive fight to get subscriptions working well. It would be nice to see the foundation throw them a bone like they did with Channels.
That book took me from Tucson to Yucatan to Baja California and to many places in-between. And, not just once. It was the foundation for a lifetime of adventure. That book saved my soul from the stultifying mediocracy of life in America. It was accessible adventure for my generation. It was wonderful. It's one of those few books that I have bought many times and given away to people I've met and who learned to love it as I did.
I was thinking the other day, what exactly is the purpose of this. It seems to simulate controllers, but activerecord is a big part of rails.

I mean legal obfuscation, that’s why so many commits are made in an application of a little bit functions so that no one can figure it out how it works. I've worked with a lot major forks of Bitcoin Core since 2010, DASH, PIVX, Komodo, etc. All of them using obfuscation techniques. The same technology is used by many corporations for "open source" JS, for example. I was downvoted by BTC owner bots for my experience, which means I'm right. Not many people in the world know how the BTC works.

A dynamic document format outgrew it's use case as a document format.

Programming separates out presentation and logic (html and JavaScript). This is a good thing. I'd like to see the separation to go further.

Locking presentation to logic language is a great way to stifle innovation, it's the same reason why we are not browsing the web through a pdf renderer.

It fits so well with the Norwegian stereotyping of Danish people, which is likely the reason why so many believe in it. It's also worth noting that Denmark also have quite a large oil industry.

Another myth seems to be that Norway was a very poor nation before the discovery of oil. According to Jan Eivind Myhre[0], professor emeritus in history at the University of Oslo, this isn't true. Norway has been one of the wealthiest countries in Europe for hundreds of years. We had, and to some degree still have, a huge merchant fleet. We've always been big in shipping insurance, probably a by-product of the merchant fleet. The fishing industry has always been a huge part of the economy, same with raw materials.

It's an interesting read, but perhaps a bit more debatable than the myth about a drunk danish minister.

The Logic of Political Survival predicts that any country with an already strong and healthy democracy which later discovers enormous natural resources will have a much better shot at overcoming the curse of resources than those where these trends are weaker. Selectorate theory is the real key here, and it's why Norway is probably going to knock it out of the park with its newly discovered phosphate deposits as well, which dwarf the oil profits several times over. The pre-discovery takeaway is to get that democratic process alive and healthy well ahead of time, no matter the circumstances.

On a totally unrelated note, if anyone wants to help me land my first gig over in Oslo, I'm conviniently next-next door in Finland. Have EU passport, likes keeping a good thing going, willing to learn Norwegian (Fosse's plays are great) -- will travel.

Sweden is far more similar to Norway than it is to the rest of the world and they don't have much oil. Oil turbocharged Norway maybe 25%. Sweden still ranks top of most metrics people prefer.

That's why Kubernetes provides versioned APIs with proper lifecycles and levels of stability.

A stable API is not going to change randomly on you, and of it does, it's going to come with deprecation policy so you have time to do it.

No. He DISbelieves in one more God than a Monotheist.

The Monotheist believes in one God (usually 'Yahweh, or 'Allah' or 'The Trinity'). But he disbelieves in all the Roman Gods, the Greek Gods, the Hindu Gods, the Persian Gods, the Aztec Gods, etc, etc. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that our Monotheist disbelieves in 205 'other Gods'. Our Atheist can disbelieve in 206 Gods, one more than our Monotheist disbelieves in.

We sort of do this in the UK.

British Telecom own Open Reach who provide infrastructure for the country.

There is cable, for a second option in cities, and there are some regional fibre networks that provide a second infrastructure option, but for the most part Open Reach is the only option.

I had massive issues with my line, I had engineers come out and we were able to test the cables and show that there was a fault between my house and the exchange. I don't have a relationship with Open Reach so I had to rely on my ISP opening tickets and it disappearing into a black hole.

After 6 months of basically not being able to use it I had to switch to BT and magically I was able to get an engineer come out and it's all good.

Fuck BT, and the conflict of interest system where the infrastructure is managed by someone who also provides the service.

Luckily an Alt Network is laying fibre outside and should hopefully be able to supply service in the next 6 months and I'll be dropping BT infrastructure as soon as possible.

I don't care whether the system is multiple infrastructure options, or one infrastructure and multiple services over the top but in that case my infrastructure provider should be separate from my service provider.
