If you’re not used to using regular design tools, I recommend using a spreadsheet like a low-res bitmap to make a map. It’s as simple or complex as you want it to be, short of making a 3d or writing a real application—- from painting cells with fill colors to scripting.

If you’re looking for something more visual, have a dedicated video card, and don’t mind going down a bit of a rabbit hole, do it unreal engine with the bazillion existing free assets. It’s one of the simpler 3D environments to learn to navigate and you can just drag and drop stuff from the free assets. I don’t know that I’ve seen another complex application that’s embraced the “batteries included” concept any more thoroughly. Of course, you can go as deep as you want, but I’ll bet you could get very pretty version up and running in an afternoon.
From wikipedia:

> By 2017, delays and cost overruns had pushed the F-35 program's expected acquisition costs to $406.5 billion, with total lifetime cost (i.e., to 2070) to $1.5 trillion in then-year dollars which also includes operations and maintenance

That big number is for the total of acquisition, operations and maintenance from the beginning until 2070.

F-35 has been a component of the US defense since at least 2020, so the taxpayers gets 50 years of F-35 for $1.5 BN, that's 30 billion per year. The US population is currently 332 million. That makes it $2.5 per American citizen per day.

> I let my boss convince me to stay on

That sucks, it happens, it's not just you.

One place, I had reason to leave. Coincidentally, a non-startup, who I'd previously chosen the current place over, re-approached me, with an even sweeter deal than before (VP, doubling my TC, and a great team). So I went to an exec of the place where I was, saying what the showstopper org problems were, and that I had urgency to make a decision. They convinced me we'd solve the problems, so I decided to stay, out of general policy of loyalty to whatever team I'm currently on. Tech company battle-hardened veterans can guess correctly how that worked out. :)
The time period is part of it, but I think the physicality matters too. You can debate gold's inherent value as you can with bitcoin, but you can't argue that it's not even a thing that exists. You also can't create more of it - which some would argue you can't with bitcoin either, but all it would take is consensus. Plus one could argue that other coins are equivalent goods.
My point is there are thousands of ways to handle your wallets, I don't think there will be one average way.

But to use geothermal power one does not need pre-existent geothermal activity, at least in principle. If the magma is close, you can get to a hot are by drilling, and then pump the cold water in and get the hot steam out.

Now, I don't know how difficult and expensive it is in practice. But as a "baseload" geothermal looks very good. Does not depend on weather at al...
Given that people probably don't arrange their life around the ability to safeguard physical assets, I think you've just given several good arguments against self-custody:

Many people don't own a home. Not all of those that do want to expose themselves to the liability of storing valuables there. The safety situation between homes even within the US varies greatly, and even more so internationally. Banks with safety deposit boxes aren't ubiquitous.

If it works for you, great! I'm just saying that you might be in the minority here.
The city where I live is quite progressive and has excellent recycling programs for single-family homes. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment community, where there are no equivalent programs. The City won't send any trucks to pick up recycling, they won't provision any containers for us to separate it into, etc.

All we've got is a set of six Dumpsters, and people put everything in there. Literally, everything: microwave ovens, sofas, scrap metal, etc. There's simply no opportunity for separating recyclables. I just don't do it. I used to collect cans in separate bags, because our groundskeeper redeemed them somewhere, and my collections would save him the trouble of dumpster-diving. This worked out great until he retired. There is simply no reason or impetus for me, or anyone else, to put effort into recycling. Either our local dumpster-divers do it for us, or it goes to the landfill.

It's not a big negative from the consumer point of view. I've purchased some (3) and supported other (6) Gl.iNet products and they've been okay. Several times I have run into issues where the routers have effectively bricked the ability to update the firmware image, while continuing to operate with the outdated and insecure image still running. I've successfully un-bricked a few of them, but that can be a tricky task and takes a while.

They do seem to be complying with the license terms, and the free portions of the software can be downloaded from the Gl.iNet website.

Most of the negatives have been covered in other comments here.
The fact that this comment was grey from downvotes when I found it is the most HN thing on the planet.
Of course, they're dropping like flies and it seems like I see a new one on my LinkedIn feed daily. For what it's worth, it's generally not your CS/EE grads working with industrial controllers that are hard up for work, and that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
That doesn't seem right. Looked up the rates for San Mateo and San Francisco county rates[1] and they're both under $0.400/kWh. On the other hand my parents in San Diego are paying over $0.450/kWh with rates scheduled to go even higher in 2024.

What Bitcoin has been turned into is still revolutionary, but not in the way it was supposedly intended. The original intention as per Satoshi's whitepaper and posts was to empower people and give them an alternative to banks. It was supposed to be a cash system run by the people for the people. The democratization of money.

Ignoring that this idea was mocked by many from the start for reasons we can only speculate about, it seems there's a lot of confusion about what Bitcoin currently is as well. Mocking the idea that poor people in Congo will be saved by Bitcoin - sure. Making fun of laser-eyed Bitcoin maxis telling you we'll all totally use Bitcoin for payments (have you heard of the Lightening Network bruh?) - of course, I joke about them too.

But what you have is the first time in the history of the planet that there is a public ledger that can be used by anyone, transparently and permissionlessly, to store and transfer value. It's not in the hand of any bank or government. Nobody can freeze your account because you're fully in control. You can run your own node to push transactions if you wish to. It can absolutely not be falsified, unlike cash or book money. This is still extremely valuable. Especially when you add programmability, which Bitcoin only has in a rudimentary form, but other "smart contract" platforms already do much better. Because now you can automate transactions and those transactions don't necessarily have to be about money.

> If your sales and marketing team insist on these tactics, you need to fire them and hire people who get it.

So, full disclosure, in addition to being kind of an anti-spam zealot, my day job is running marketing operations at a big-ish software company. So I get the fun job of telling everyone from the junior intern to the senior VP that no, my team is not going to send that email for you. That no, in fact, I don't care what the old person in my job let you do, or what you did at your old company, or how many levels above me you are in the org chart. We're only going to email people what they asked for, at the frequency they asked for it, on the topics they asked to hear about. These new Gmail/Yahoo rules have helped immensely in making the case to our CMO to have my back.
I meant One S and One X, plus Series X. The One S and One X are refreshes of the One, with the One S getting 4K HDMI and Blu-ray support and the One X getting both of those plus more power and 4K gaming support. There was a version of the One S that didn't have an optical drive, but it was a bit of a flop. The Series X is one of the two successors to the One line (along with the Series S), with the Series X having a 4K Blu-ray drive and the Series S not having an optical drive.

Source: I own all of them except for the One X.

>No need to suddenly fight a borrow checker

This isn't a bad thing. Failing to compile when there is a memory error is better than leaving it in to later manifest as a mysterious crash or be found by a fuzzer or an attacker. When programming without a borrow checker you have to be the borrow checker yourself. People being their own borrow checker does not scale.
If only. It's not off chain when you open a channel, rebalance a channel, or close a channel. On-chain Fees need to be paid at every step of the way.

High BTC fees impede the Lightning Network from being a true scaling solution, an obvious fact that has been dismissed for many years by adherents of absurdly small block sizes.

We've just gone a lovely circle :)

The "barrier to build ", as used by the initial post and in this context, is "barrier to put something in front of eyes of the customer".

With that barrier being low, it's supremely hard for customers to pick wheat from the chaff. Who's gonna bother going through 3 million offerings and figure out what's useful?

> Netflix is trying to do everything possible to hide the fact that their streaming library is small and shrinking.

And it appears to be working. I was telling this girl the other day about why I canceled Netflix years ago, because they frequently didn't have whatever I searched for. She insisted that "no, Netflix has everything!" So we proceeded to search for various things with her account, including the final straw that made me cancel. Netflix proceeded to not have a single thing we searched for.
It is common, and my relative does not like it either.

If they have a weakness, it is their marketing. It's uniquely incompetent.
I agree that God created the weather and doesn't predict it. I only brought up the weather as an example of systems that humans can predict with high success despite that prediction not having any causal impacts. The predictors don't by their prediction cause the predicted. So we have an example of a system where there is some kind of mechanism by which we see that it is possible to know without causing.

I agree with you as well that it would be...unfair in some sense to punish or blame people for their bad choices. I think this is complex enough that the only way to treat the subject with nuance is to consider a specific religious theology. This is because we need to know what God's attributes are.

In the typical Abrahamic sense, God is considered to be perfect and holy. That is why he cannot be in the same place as sin without just destroying it. It's the same with how light in a dark room necessarily lights up the darkness. It just cannot help but light up the darkness - it is in its nature. But since God is also perfect in love and in mercy, this means that he doesn't really blame people for much. In fact, that's why he forgives and saves and loves. If he really blamed or punished people for their choices, well, nobody would make it. But again, my view is that God is love and that mercy is his greatest attribute. And that this is consistent with his perfection.
I like the rush to develop because I'm competing but they went from "plugins don't have product market fit" to plugins, but even less, in record time.

Everyone and their mama wants to build The platform on top of them, including them, but veering towards the SV default of "oh it must be too complex if 80% of users aren't using it within 90 days" seems wrong

I would do things like you suggest to make the system more understandable, creating a trust flywheel and encouraging tinkering, which you need anyway if you want to build The platform
I would like to think that a sophisticated civilization would understand what was happening.

I also giggle at the idea of a highly advanced civilization arriving at earth to tell us humans exactly what they think of someone firing a relativistic shotgun at their planet. Even if it was only loaded with bird shot.
I'm fine with Israel assassinating Hamas members. Having a legitimate military objective does not give you carte blanche to run over civilians with a steamroller, any more than it gave Hamas just cause to massacre civilians at nearby kibbutzim and a music festival (vs the attacks on IDF bases, which were valid targets in my view).
Why concerned? It’s a free market. That is the going rate. Long term, it’s a good thing because it keeps miners incentivized.

The strong anti-Bitcoin sentiment on HN is still amusing. It goes way back - 13 years or more.

Having read many of these negative comments, I think part of this sentiment boils down to the commenter seeing no point to Bitcoin. Just this thread has examples. It must be more than a little annoying to feel very strongly that Bitcoin is pointless, but to also notice that it's still here. Year after year.

If that shoe were on my foot, in addition to being annoyed I'd be curious about what I was missing.

Bitcoin doesn't have to do something useful for everyone to survive. It doesn't have to "replace fiat." It doesn't have to be a payment system. It doesn't have to "go to the moon." It doesn't even need an ETF. Bitcoin just needs to fill needs (or wants) not met by anything else. They don't even have to be your needs or wants.

Unlike every other attempt at electronic cash that came before it, Bitcoin also doesn't need the approval of any person, police force, legislative body, military, or government. I'd challenge people who hold negative views on Bitcoin to name some other systems for which this holds true.

I think that's the point that a lot of hostile commenters might be missing.
Those in power seizing control of a product once it’s created is a timeless story. See the Prague clock tower or Daedalus the Labyrinth builder who was imprisoned there by King Minos. Not a new story, or a particularly wise business decision.

I was writing in this case about 2024. My analogue apple watch face is synced either via nntp or perhaps directly from the GPS stratum 0 time, but typically I simply glance at it and perhaps walk a little faster. Or not.

We used to have various rituals for syncing clocks and precision timepieces before the advent of quartz digital watches, NTP, and such. Fun as such things were to watch in the movies and at the Olympics, I never needed such precision in my daily life.
Yeah commute alone is reason enough to go remote. I have no problem with chat and conf calls. I’m routinely working with offshore teams and others spread all over the US anyway. Working remote is no different than in office I just don’t have to drive and fight traffic to get there.

Hmm. I don't want to sound harsh, but I've been in the industry for nearly 3 decades and I've never been in a place where HR has been effective in helping train managers. I'm not saying it never happens, just that I haven't seen it. In fact, I wouldn't generally characterize HR departments as paragons of good management, so I'm not sure they are usually in a position to teach such things. Not their fault really, I don't think good management is that teachable. It's mostly learned through experience.
I guess the advantage is that you can drop them into any HTML page and they look and work correctly. And you can control them with plain JS, like `document.getElementByID(dialogId).open = false;`

> The fact is that Bitcoin is very likely to absorb a vast percentage of the worlds value simply as it is.

You present this as a fact, but the actual valuation of Bitcoin doesn't seem to support this claim. John McAfee bet (and proverbially lost) his testicles on broad estimations of Bitcoin's continued growth. Without extraordinary evidence, you can't make claims of extraordinary provenience.

> there will be far more motivation to focus on developing solutions (such as Lightning) to allow smaller and faster transactions.

If you need an L2 transaction layer to solve an issue inherent to an L1 chain, you're kinda just admitting that the base layer is flawed. Why use Bitcoin at all if we need mediators to settle regular transactions?

The "we'll fix it later" mentality works for shitty altcoins that have nothing to lose by reinventing themselves, but I'm not convinced Bitcoin can change. I was mining Bitcoin about a decade ago now, hearing people say "Lightning will work soon" or "a good interchain bridge will exist eventually" in 2024 leaves me convinced nothing has changed. It's a race between the economics and the technology to see which becomes outdated first.
Your actually don't need a subscription to create a custom GPT, but rather just a regular dev account, and can play with this almost for free, just paying for individual API calls.

Would they even notice it though? Normal bolides of similar energy happen fairly frequently (see https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/fireball-and-bolide-reports for an example). And even if they did, would they interpret it as a hostile act when similar events happen naturally without ill effect? It would mean the "attacker" posses the technology to accelerate materials to appreciable fractions of c while simultaneously not knowing that the impacts wouldn't do any damage to the target.

Should we similarly be afraid of making radio broadcasts lest our intended recipients interpret our beaming of energy as a hostile act? A somewhat similar concept is actually mentioned in the novel Blindsight. You could even go full Dark Forest and say that we're a threat simply by existing all the while brazenly advertising our presence through the oxygen in the atmosphere.
Why would that have any impact?
