I don't want to dismiss your experience out of hand, but...how long had it been since you last turned it on? When I play my Switch regularly, I don't ever turn it off all the way; putting it to sleep (either by pressing the power button in handheld mode, not long-pressing it, or by holding the Home button on my controller and selecting the option to put it to sleep in docked mode) doesn't lose much power overnight even when it's not on a charger in my experience. I also don't really remember having either frequent or extremely larger updates very often on any of the games I've played, although I guess I might just happen to play games that are on the lower end of update density. I don't think I've ever _ever_ had any sort of ad that I had to dismiss before playing a game; the closest thing I can think of is the "News" app, and I definitely find it a little annoying that there's no way to completely disable the notification dot on it or (even unsubscribing from every possible channel in it doesn't seem to fully stop them) or uninstall it, but it doesn't actually cost me any time unless I decide to go in and mark all of the stories as "read" to make the dot go away.
He may not be Sam Altman, but his position in Google is quite solid. His number is also good until chatgpt happened.
Explain how Bitcoin, which for the next 100 years will continue to print new coins, is attempting to replicate deflation. Maybe inadvertently, by people losing access to their Bitcoins for various reasons, but the design itself certainly isn't deflationary. Not even in its final form, the supply will merely be constant.

Also I find it humorus when people complain about deflation, which pretty much is the natural condition of the world. New techniques and improvements will unenviably lead to products costing less. The problematic factor has always been the current ruling money being controlled by a central authority who will debase it.
LOL as a ex gov contractor all i can say is that only certain buisnessness of a certain size will get these types gov contracts, period. Why? Cause you cant sue a shit-poor company for a billion dollars. That pool isnt big.

Around the world, the largest companies get away with the largest wholesale frauds and keep getting work over and over, repeating the cycle, to this day. Every sector this applies too. I can only imagine the same thing happens in every developed country.

Im not saying that they are all junk, but i am saying that a smaller company with just as capable people and credentials would do the job for a 1/10th of the price and in most cases its gonna be fine. Thats how i got into the game, helping a small company who had a foot in the door replace a reporting system Accenture was charging the gov a 1m a report to produce. We won a contract and built a system for 1m that delivered reports at 5-20k a pop, in 1/10 of the time, with more data sources. But its rare to happen, people like that dont get to sit at the table for lunch with the people who matter often (unless they are retired or neighbours with someone) - and we all know thats really how deals get made. LOL at all these fake processes our govs put in place to appear like they select vendors fairly. LOL such an illusion.

But you know what, even though our democracies are corrupt like this, its nothing compared the dictatorships where they are corrupt and dont deliver anything of value. We are lucky it wasnt tofu-dreg accounting software that spies on you, crashes as well as getting your records wrong.

In poor health, willpower often fails long before physical performance, and there are many different possible barriers, like struggle to eat properly, poor nasal breathing, general fatigue, poor posture and running form, etc.

Personally, I can run for a longer time, but between having to push through mental fatigue and very poor nasal breathing, it's an extremely unpleasant, aversive experience. Even when I can do it, it's really harsh on me.
You're conflating the consequences of modern and ancient inflation, which were extremely different. In modern times when we want to print money, it just involves a mixture of worthless sheets of paper or even more worthless entries in a database. So we have the luxury of being able to just pull trillions of dollars out of thin air, devaluing all of the other preexisting dollars in the process.

But in the past, money was made of materials that themselves had major value - like silver. And so you couldn't just print more money, because you had to have the valuable resources that it was made of to do so. So the way the Empire dealt with this was by simply reducing the percent of those values. Wiki has a table showing the composition of the Roman Denarius over time here. [1] The original denarius, from the 3rd century BC was 95%+ pure silver. By the 3rd century AD it was down to 5% silver. So the process of printing money in ancient times, ended up making the old money worth more, which is the exact opposite of what happens now a days!

A good analog here is the US penny. We've been debasing it over time, but all the way up until 1982, the penny was made with at least 95% copper. [2] So old pennies are actually worth more than $0.01 in raw materials, which is why it's currently illegal to melt pennies (and nickels) or sell them for their material value. So there are plenty of people hoarding these, waiting for the government to eventually declare them obsolete - enabling them to melt them down and make a large profit. It's a nice investment because your upside is uncapped and your max loss is $0, if you can get them at around the fiat rate.

Now imagine if 225 pennies was a year's salary, as was the case for e.g. Julius Caesar's professional soldiers and Denarii. It creates a huge motivation for hooooold, precisely caused by the government spending. Same today where the more we inflate the currency, the more old pennies become worth.

It has a gradual type 'system', along with a means of type checking (via Dialyzer) at compile time. However the type checking isn't enforced at compile time, and it has the possibility for some false negatives (though it isn't so bad in experience).
The state of bitcoin mixers was also very primitive back then, especially given this volume. Today, criminals can use things like the defunct ChipMixer, which distributes private keys funded in advance. So by definition there is nothing in the blockchain to follow, because the handover is done off chain.

The fact that ChipMixer was busted in an international law enforcement operation should indicate to you the nature of the beast. Just like in the case of SilkRoad, there are a myriad copy cats which are still online. It's a small piece of computer code anyone can run. So money laundry on bitcoin to a nearly untraceable level can be done by any service that can setup some kind of network connection and run a bit of computer code.

This is unprecedented in the history of finance and the main practical benefit of Bitcoin other than speculation.

Yeah, sorry, it's using CSS parts for customization. So if a component is made up of multiple nested containers, you can target the inner containers with ::part(name).
Yes, improved cardio results in a lower resting heart rate, which reduces BMR. Resting heart rate only gets as low as the 50s though, then it stops going down.

> Your body has a weight set point like it has a temperature set point.

And more recent studies have shown how to change it.

Eat at a moderate deficit for 4 months, then take up to 2 more months carefully eating at maintenance. Rinse and repeat to keep losing weight. This avoids the problems you are talking about.

But if someone has 100 lb to lose they don't want to hear "lose 1 lb a week for 4 months, then don't lose any weight for 2 months, repeat for a few years." Adherence to such a plan will be terrible, but it'd work.

Calorie cycling, as described in the video I linked to twice in this thread, also avoids the problems, and Dr. Mike explains how calorie cycling prevents the problems with hormone levels that a long term deficit can create.

Also

> Yeah, you use about 100kcal running a mile, so 26mi gets you around 2/3 of a pound of fat.

This is why I'm not a fan of running. I have recorded workouts (HR chest strap) of me burning 500 calories / hour.

Then again when I'm in shape (currently recovering from a rib injury....) I spend an hour with my heart rate in the 150s to low 160s on a 3-1 interval cycle.

Also it won't be 2/3 a lb of fat, it'll be carbs at first, some fat, and at those calorie burn numbers, some muscle mass as well.

(This is where the keto people jump in, but sadly research studies on high level athletes who are long term keto adapted doing intense stuff are hard to come by)

My prediction is that Bitcoin will become fully institutionalized within twenty years, to the point that the “Bitcoin” held by investors are entirely disconnected from the theoretical blockchain.

A similar thing happened with stocks. Not so long ago they used to be physical pieces of paper. You could trade shares peer-to-peer and even anonymously by handing over the share certificate to someone in person. For dividends, there was a coupon that you could cut off with scissors and use to claim the income.

Imagine you show up today at a Charles Schwab office with a 1977 Apple Computer stock certificate, and ask to sell it. That piece of paper is theoretically worth more than a Bitcoin (thanks to stock splits). But the Schwab branch surely won’t buy it, they’ll send you away. Getting your piece of paper recognized as stock that you can actually trade in modern systems is a separate process.

That’s how it will be with Bitcoin in 2050. You contact Coinbase’s customer service AI and tell them you have an actual Bitcoin on the chain and you’d like to sell it. They’ll politely redirect you to the compliance department that will inform you that it may take up to six months to verify the provenance of your quaint original Bitcoin that’s not registered in the modern custodial systems - assuming your coin has no history with mixers and other addresses of interest to law enforcement, of course.

Who stopped?

> have you switched from rock to hip-hop or to not listening to music?

Less music, at least. I moved on to informational radio once the rock stations became unlistenable. The local public broadcaster produces some wonderful content about science, technology, and business.

These days, I do subscribe to a number of podcasts recorded from out-of-market radio stations that still have decent musical content. While, granted, distribution to me is no longer linear, these programs are originally produced for linear radio play. If I could readily tune in to those stations without the technical encumberments, I probably would.

I also use Spotify from time to time, but it replaced CDs, not the radio. That's an entirely different ballgame. I don't see it scratching the same itch.
No more surprising than the obligatory references to identity politics. The game was created as a Georgist political/economic screed. Some might even call the simulated in-game economy a straw-man. The article is par for a pop culture econ polemic. Nothing exceptional, nothing we haven't been browbeaten with before.
Just look at UK... Largely based on finance sector and it does look pretty bleak for those outside... And I am not even sure if that is yet the end state...

Bingo. Not to mention the distinct lack of focus on reuse or reducing use of plastics in the first place. And, let's not forget, the whole recycling thing was basically a corporate scam in the 1970s to push the blame for waste generated by their packaging onto consumers.

Ask HN: Do Tech Companies Segment by Gullibility?
I am trying to be fair with the title. By Tech I mean ad-driven "tech" companies like Google and Facebook. Companies the surveil, aggregate, and sell access to data.

If you can target by age, wealth, region, interests, etc. Can you target by gullibility or vulnerability?

I am sure these companies have figured it out. Maybe mental/disease issues like Down Syndrome, Alcoholism, or gambling addiction. Perhaps age deterioration where general acuity is lessened or dementia. Teens more susceptible to peer pressure.

I am sure there are a lot of other possibilities. Curious if these are actual segments that can be targeted, directly or indirectly?

(no I don't want to target them)
> People just don't understand the ethics of white hat hacking.

People just think they understand ethics, even if they don't.

"Don't break the law" is an incredibly poor foundation. Many laws are ill-conceived, ambiguous, overly broad and widely ignored or manifestly unjust. Using this as the basis for ethical behavior would require you to be unreasonably conservative and pedantic while regarding complicity in an injustice as ethical behavior. (It also implies that you could never use ethics to inform what the law should be, since it would just tautologically be whatever you make it.)

"Don't knowingly cause net harm" is at least as valid, but then admits the possibility of curiosity-based shenanigans that could lead to the revelation of a vulnerability that saves innocent people from the consequences of it being later exploited by someone nefarious.

> Putting in that password on a system you don't own without any sort of permission to do so is very clearly against the law.

Driving 1 MPH over the speed limit is very clearly against the law, even if the orphanage is relying on you to have the funding letter postmarked by end of day.

Walking your date home while you're intoxicated is very clearly against the law (public intoxication), even if the alternative is that they drive themselves home while intoxicated.

Ethics is something else.

> The only ethical path is to let them know you have some reason to believe they are not using secure passwords or whatever.

But you don't, really. Your belief may even be purely statistical -- suppose you expect that if you try the default on many servers at different companies, there will be at least one where it works, and you'd like to report it to them, but you have no idea which ones unless you try.

> It just isn't the white hats problem.

If you have the capacity to prevent likely harm and instead do nothing, what color is your hat?
Its actually a total clusterfuck: (particularily power pass-thru usbC-PD hubs)
60W over cheap garbage cables
100W over special "smart" cables with chips in them
higher watts devices are just being released now
(these values do not include the 15W or so the hub itself needs)

there are major bugs in both computer firmwares and usbC hubs where special "safety cutoffs" are being triggered in devices so you need to power cycle hubs (not just computer) sometimes, sometimes computers will freeze during boot sequence because of a usb-pd glitch (no mention that manufacturers even care about these bugs in their bios release notes)

I am not really arguing as you are correct about the low quality, however, that is how you measure air volume. Measure the air speed and multiply it by vent area. Hopefully(i doubt it) they included how big the vent was.

Additionally. I am a bit weak on my physics but I think air speed has a direct relationship with evaporating liquids. I would have to see some controlled tests. but hypothesis: given the same volume of air per minute. a higher speed will evaporate water faster, with specific testing on high surface area targets(like hair) for example: them stupid dyson dryers that project a super high speed low area stream of air
Uber wants people in its app, they want to show ads for their subscription membership services, and they want to upsell you on services, and they want you to see sponsored restaurants first when you order food. Uber wants to own the relationship with customers, so they can ~exploit the customers more~ extract more value.

VC backed and publicly listed companies need endless growth, user-centric systems like what Rabbit is offering break those business models apart. Which is why I predict everyone is going to be fighting super hard against making UIs that just get shit done.

You know, those coins that satoshi mined are too high risk for our blockchain and bitcoin. So we just blacklisted all of them. And basically also all that haven't moved in 1 year from the date we did. Sorry your coins are forever dirty and no miner will include transactions with them in a block...
Constant supply creates deflation because population/usage increases. You're right that products will cost less - which is exactly what deflation is.

The reason it's because taboo in modern times is ostensibly because it creates a disincentive to investment. Why invest in something that might return 5% with some risk, if your money will be worth an almost guaranteed 5% more in a year anyhow? IMO the "real" reason is because it's a proxy for politics. Governments spending trillions of dollars sends inflation skyrocketing - the US is only slightly guarded against this because of our unique ability to 'export our inflation' - a web search can elaborate more on the term if one is unfamiliar with it. So opposing inflation is largely a proxy for opposing excessive spending which is one of the main political divides, which is odd because both parties spend like maniacs - but one pretends to not want to.
