Even assuming that bitcoins are indeed were directly mined, it's ridiculous how asymmetrical the modern world is about some things:

"I (personally) issued counterfeit bills and was able to purchase real estate with them" - that's a federal crime

"I (personally) issued a cryptographically signed statement that I own quadrillions of Satoshi bills and was able to purchase real estate with it" - that's perfectly legal
What I would like is not something that allows me to track my kids 24/7. But I would like a device my kids could have, when they are lost, or an emergency, or they need me to locate them, they can press it and it will then share their location for the duration of that event. Pretty much just an SoS device.

Addition: Even outside of just the kids. When my wife works a late shift at the hospital, she would like a device like this for the walk in darkness out to her car in the parking lot. Or similar situation where she had to do an emergency road trip to handle an emergency with her dad and would like to have a device that can alert me and temporarily give location if she needs top stop and get gas at 2 in the morning.
It really was
Uber sometimes offers a service called UberPool where you share the car with another passenger in order to save money right? Couldn't Waymo do the same?
Having seen traffic in Paris I associate all French with reckless drivers :')

I know, not all of France is Paris but still...
I think it would be roughly that easy for anyone with basic nginx experience. Nginx includes a php fast-cgi snippet that you just `include` from your server block.

It really is very easy.
Beware of spammers providing these services, it's an easy way to lose it all.
>This is the kind of direction the language needs to go in, instead of the older LAMP which can require somewhat complex Apache configuration.

I hardly every set up PHP (once each time I reinstall my desktop, which was last in ... 2018?) but I recall it being very quick and smooth using apt-get.

I don't recall doing anything else other than restarting apache.
Not the original poster, but at a glance, oauth, sso, and a whole bunch of PostgreSQL(?!) packages stand out as surprising things to see in a web server.
The one thing I still like them for is buying storage (hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks), and that only really because I do actually trust them to not sell me counterfeits and I absolutely don't trust Amazon/Newegg for the same. Anyone know a reliable way to source any of these online?
> and my wheelchair.

I experienced this this week. Started having lateral foot pain while walking and standing over the weekend. But no pain while pedaling. I walk considerably less when biking to work than driving to work because I keep my bike in my office instead of walking from the parking garage. What a relief it was to move without pain.
I’m intrigued by the support for CBOR log output: I haven’t seen CBOR support built into any other widely-used infrastructure software before. Is HAProxy unusual in this regard, or am I just unaware of CBOR support elsewhere?
I did specify my hearing loss.

I use active muffs if i need to hear, and howard leight earplugs and plain howard leight muffs contemporaneously for exploding things. A skeet shooting film grip recommended this after (nearly?) having her eardrum broken by a long tube hitting a tower leg on a set next to her head. Specifically the brand, but also the doubling up if there's guaranteed risk of loud noises.

active muffs are so nice i regret waiting a decade to actually buy some. I'll check out the etymotic e*20** at some point, although i'm hesitant about how useful they'll actually be relative to active muffs.
Amazing story! I’m a Johnny Cash fan and didn’t know this before.

I just wonder if the “bum” wasn’t some modern version of Diogenes…
Why is that? Waymo has lower labor costs right?
In my limited experience it has always been about 50% higher than an uber (and takes much longer to arrive).
Ouch! That's very bad for the people and the company. It should be a thing to have access and use one-time throw-away virutal credit cards. Newer online banks offer to create virtual credit cards on the fly.
jquery is a client lib, whereas react is a full stack where you can run server-side-rendering, access server services, and in general do everything server-side
Not sure that's true. Around here (rural Montana) the 5G providers will sell "home" service in town, but not outside town. My assumption is this is because they have enough capacity on 2GHz in town with small cells but not enough on the large 700MHz cells in the country. Starlink is really the only proper provider in our neighborhood. You can use LTE Hotspot but the carrier will throttle traffic pretty quickly.
That screen design is going to break really easy. Should have integrated an protective bezel. FAIL.

I retired in my late 30s and had kids. So I’m a full time parent as is my partner. I guess that’s my revealed choice for what my ideal job would be? Sometimes I’m not completely happy with my choice, but mostly I am.

If I had more time, or more energy, I’d program for fun more often.

I don’t especially believe in “changing the world.” Not that you can’t (though really, you can’t, to 3 sig figs) just I don’t care to.
Not to be too pedantic but while it powers the majority of websites, it doesn't power much of anyone's day-to-day internet usage (even counting Facebook's usage of Hack).
Just a fun anecdote, I showed up to pickup my own online order at a restaurant. The order had been given to a dasher and delivered to someone else, with the same first name, who was now furiously calling the store. They got about double the amount they had ordered, but they must have really wanted the shrimp. I then had to wait for that call to end just to find out my order needed to be remade.

If you actually run `caddy build-info`, you'll see that none of those are actually in the build. You can't just look at go.sum, like I explained above.
I was a long-time PHP dev and then moved on to C#. I was close to writing this nginx/fpm setup lookss very complex compared to "dotnet run". But then I remembered, in ASP.NET you have a Program with 50 lines of code that must have an exact order, otherwise thinks work except they don't.

So I would say, knowing these two languages, PHP really is that easy to setup.
Full disclosure: I am a migrant internal to Europe(Scandinavia > Switzerland). My wife is an indian national with a University degree.
I am personally pretty pro migration.

But who is doing this "begging"? I doubt it's the working classes of Europe. More concrete, I suspect this "begging" is done by the owning class so they can have cheaper labor for their industries. To the working man of Europe, it seems to me the current migration scheme is a net loss.
MyScale Telemetry: An Open-Source Alternative to LangSmith
Honestly once a year is a good measurement. You want numbers on people who might bicycle. Doing it seldom means there is a chance you will start doing it. My feeling is that bicyclists are one of the most misunderstood groups just because we are so different from each other.
https://speed.cloudflare.com/ produces more details than many other speedtest sites. Interpreting them correctly is of course another question
I wonder what scale you have to produce satellites at for the raw material to be a price driver. Satellite development is very expensive, just the material of the structure is probably a rounding error compared to the total cost. How much would you save by using wood there? Even at Starlink scale, I would be surprised if it’s worth it.
I’m truly grateful that no one else shares your vision of the future.
Telling someone they’re ignorant probably doesn’t get them to use your tech. Not the person you’re replying to; I use elixir everyday at work.

The biggest barrier to adoption of these libraries I can see is that there is not a wealth of resources to solve the actual problem the person is experiencing.

Googling “dyplr verbs in python” there’s a towards data science post that’s the 6th result. It has step by step code examples to get you started with what I guess the person is looking for.

Googling “dyplr verbs in elixir”, you get the explorer library’s GitHub page and docs as results. I see there’s an example on the first page, but docs present as a high barrier to entry. For better or worse, hand-holding helps get people using the thing, and there’s a SEO-fueled ton of python hand-holding resources out there.

I’m sure you’re aware of these things as the author of the book mentioned, but buying a book is a step for someone who’s already sold on learning the language/framework. Having google-able content is much more useful to get people in the door and in the day-to-day work looking something up.

Until something “cool” and well-known is made with Nx/Axon and friends, they’re gonna be seen as second-class to most people who aren’t elixir diehards. Somehow everyone in elixir-land recs these, but never has anything they actually use them for.

There’s also the switching cost. Most Python ML compute is actually done in C/off-loaded to gpu, so its speed is ok and not greatly constrained by the language choice. Python does have multiprocessing stuff which, while annoying in my experience, makes parallelizing stuff possible. Again, thinking from an outsider’s perspective, there doesn’t seem to be a “must have” reason to use elixir when they’ve already been working in python.

Starting ~2021 the most important Android execs got it in their heads that no one in Android was testing software because they were finding and reporting bugs, even late in release cycles.

It was like that famous bomber with bullet holes diagram, the part they were missing was the bugs were being reported, it was just only theirs were being taken seriously, and the rest were treated as annoyances*

Funnily enough, it actually made the culture exponentially worse because it layered on tons of process and paperwork, which gave more ammo to the actual problem, clique-y and unhealthy coddling of us vs. them behavior within the clique, which also drove a lot of people outside it to stop thinking they could help make things better, and if they did, it didn't/wouldn't matter anyway.

I always think of that whenever I shudder about this nonsense. Partly because the same leadership that was too nice & added testing + paperwork eyewash to fix a people problem, added testing + paperwork eyewash here.

When you have a hammer...

I've just been using the MacOS runner in Github Actions. Still requires the $99/year fee but not the $2000 laptop.
Definitely not worth the risk. I think all this policy is going to do is reinforce the already strong incentive to launch first on iOS and only consider an Android port once you've validated your idea. And the Android ports are going to be outsourced and often not very high quality.
Why does this piece have so many typos? It makes it difficult to read. I ran across 3 and got confused as many times and so stopped reading. Spell check is cheap is 2024.
Reverse proxying is just one task that a web server can perform. Caddy also has a file server (directly serving files from disk or from some virtual filesystem), can write static responses, can directly execute code via plugins like FrankenPHP, can manipulate/rewrite/filter/route the request and/or response, etc. Just look at this list https://caddyserver.com/features
VLIW has low latency. Why is that important for an inference engine?

Is the `weird_rides.db` file python or some sort of duckdb script?

I'm quite intrigued about DuckDBs ability to read parquet files off of buckets. How good is at at simply ignoring files (e.g, filtering based on info in datafiles paths)?
- which other social media network was as globally widespread and used for public communication by public and private actors alike the way Twitter was?

- there's a huge difference between a set of executives who are accountable to a board and shareholders, and a single person who is not, and doubly so when that person is among the wealthiest in the world, likes to shoot their mouth off, has a huge ego, and likes to exercise a great deal of control
that's cool. until it's not. it's very easy to release an upgrade of stopping less on stop signs and see data increasing profit and not increasing accidents. same with code updates that will make cyclist life worse, unless there's actual change in a kpi they track. you're not really their main concern, specially after they ipo and get acquired by Apollo or billionaire du jour
"In early 2002 he met entrepreneur Elon Musk and accompanied him on a trip to Russia where they attempted to purchase ICBMs. The unsuccessful trip is credited as directly leading to the formation of SpaceX.[7] Musk offered Griffin the title of Chief Engineer at the company,[8] but Griffin instead became president and COO of In-Q-Tel, a private enterprise funded by the CIA to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve national security interests.[9]"

In 2005, he was appointed NASA Administrator where he pushed for commercial cargo and crew transportation services that saved the company from bankruptcy.

"In February 2018, Griffin was appointed as Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering by Donald Trump. One of his first actions was to create the Space Development Agency.[13][14] The organization was tasked with procuring a proliferated constellation of low Earth orbit satellites to detect Chinese and Russian hypersonic weapons. Commercial contracts for the constellation were given to L3Harris and SpaceX."
Is this a new requirement? I launched a flutter app about 8 months ago and didn't need any testers. It's a free app though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Well, I’d say it’s different in a similar way that Uber’s are different from driving yourself. For physical trips it’s similar, but lower barrier to entry, so you do it more. And for deliveries it’s a much lower barrier because you don’t drive at all.
Yes, but he failed to predict the lameness that is MS Teams.
I don’t care if my wife knows my location either. She’s my partner, not my parent. Thankfully, I’m not a teen trying to develop a sense of autonomy and self reliance independent of my wife’s supervision.

As other posters have pointed out, no one really knows anything about anyone else’s life from an HN post.

That said, the whole point of the panopticon is that if the prisoner doesn’t know when they’re being observed, they’re effectively always observed. It’s a concern that’s at least worth giving serious consideration, not dismissing out of hand because it happens to work for you and your wife.
There seem to be a lot of things that cannot be explained if we take what you're saying as an assumption. For instance from 2011-2020 (when SpaceX started launching to the ISS) NASA had no way to get crew to the ISS, and relied exclusively on Russia. That can't be dismissed as just risk aversion. Similarly Blue Origin is filled with old space talent, was founded before SpaceX, is funded by Bezos Bucks, and yet can't even manage to achieve an orbital flight. Also SpaceX's early talent included people like Tom Mueller [1] who would go on to work as CTO. Notably he was picked up on SpaceX because of the rocket engines that he was literally building in his garage!

I have no claim to knowing what SpaceX's secret sauce is, because the problem I think you run into immediately is that any sort of logical explanation then bumps into issues like the ones I'm mentioning here.

> But at the end I left with only single thought. That this is gonna be a future of LA with all water supply issues, AI taking jobs, and poor actors, models, stand up comedians and homeless people inheriting the land xD.

Yes, and cosmetic surgeons slashing people, Sendero Luminoso conquering territory, Carjack Malone living on a tanker ship, Peter Fonda surfing on a stormdrain.

It's called Escape from LA, and it is glorious.
I did not but this could work too. I'll have to give it a try. Seems to be a bunch of methods to detect if an app is being run inside an emulator but it does appear they can all be faked as well.

I must have been so focused on getting access to the desktop sites I didn't even think about the app.
You can have a a ~20 line docker-compose.yml file that only requires you to `docker compose up` and you're up and running. It's gotten insanely easy to run php-fpm + nginx + [whateverdb] in a set of docker services that require virtually no configuration.
It’s also possible to be more liberal than your parents were with respect to expecting teenage experimentation but still want to know why your kid/spouse isn’t home within an hour of when you expected them and they aren’t responding to texts. Parents are still adults with lives and have better things to do than sit around watching a dot on a map.

“huh, I guess they went to get some boba, we’ll just go get dinner without them”

on the flip side, I would have killed to know where the hell my parents were when they didn’t show up for 30+ minutes after school, pool, or baseball practice.
I don't think that distinction is as stark as you make it. Spouses can be overly, annoyingly controlling - and it can happen gradually. I'm sure that for every person who doesn't mind their partner knowing where they are, there's another who has been pressured into it - perhaps by it being insinuated that their not wanting to be trackable means that they have something to hide.
Is this about royalties or some unspecified technical problem?
Cool website. Can't tell if requests for nonsensical codes like 108 are supposed to return 500 or if that's an error on my side. Returns things like 707 just fine.
Waymo in SF is super expensive. Like, $1/min+. Is Phoenix more financially accessible? I’d love to ditch my car for Waymo but I’d easily drop $40+/day which is a lot more than, say, a $300/month lease.
Do you have an example of this workflow? Are you developing outside of XCode on a non-macOS platform in Swift and then essentially compiling and packaging using GitHub Actions?
That's the trick isn't it? Make people not feel like they've lost their privacy, when in reality they already have.
They could in theory yeah. I’m not sure if Uber still offers it, but I think its uptake is so low (anecdotally from people I know) that it’s effectively not a solution to societal isolation, because it doesn’t end up being used.
Pseudopotential
Yes, that's interesting and somewhat amusing. But is it accurate or in any way beneficially worthy of billion dollar valuations??
I'm guessing either the author had a very strong personal reason (i.e. really wanted out), or the business was not particularly sustainable/growth-favorable for one reason or another.

Data reveals rising economic 'distress' across USA despite post-pandemic growth
The cost to develop in the first place may be too high, except for maybe nation states.

Falcon 9 funded Starship. Now there is little funding for a competitor, ignoring the fact that Starship will sink that even closer to 0 with such low launch costs.
Title altered by me for length from original "Data reveals rising economic 'distress' across America despite post-pandemic growth".
I’m always deeply skeptical of appeals to the “laws of physics”. Yes, there are some hard constraints there, no, it doesn’t account for bright ideas for how to make those less important; the laws of physics stop us shrinking vacuum tubes small enough to fit billions on a chip, but it turns out that that doesn’t actually matter
Collect call from “Pickmeup”
Do you have data about the other half? Or just anecdotes?
Elixir dev you are describing and we use Python for ML stuff because it’s easier to work with the more documented frameworks. These libraries just aren’t “there” yet, and I think it’s important to be honest about that. I’ve tried extending/converting to them, and it just wasn’t worth it yet.
I could build from source I guess. Or we’re back to usenet-style text encoding of images
I think the only relevant comparison here is Neon.
It's about consent perhaps?
Yes but how do we make them obey unlawful orders? A: by introducing a vague language in form of a vague law.

Yes, this is very true. In my case, I think my weight loss from mountain biking comes from riding hills I wouldn't normally (and often pushing up hills), eating better (I'm not sitting at my desk and therefore spend less time snacking), and building leg muscle.

Running is a much quicker way to burn calories. I hate running. :)
They have a fairly big weakness. If someone takes over their control these taxis are basically weapons. You have to admit that the question is not if this is possible but how will it pan out.
Well

A. EFS is dogs*** for this

B. The EFS protocol is NFS, so that's the question.
No. Either MIT/BSD code isn't fair game because it requires attribution, or GPL/AGPL code is fair game because it isn't copyright infringement in the first place so no license is required.

It'll be a court fight to determine which. Worse, it will be a court fight that plays out in a bunch of different countries and they probably won't all come to the same conclusion. It's unlikely the two licenses have a different effect here though. Either they both forbid it, or neither had the power to forbid it in the first place.

In simple terms, you can think of a reverse proxy as an http server that is a middle man. For a simple case why you might use one. SSL/TLS can be a pain to set up in your web application code. So what you can do is write your web application and not worry about SSL/TLS certs. Then you can place a reverse proxy infront of it and configure the reverse proxy for SSL/TLS. This way your not dealing with that complexity in your code and someone else is managing it. From there, the reverse proxy takes requests and reroute them to your web application. My reverse proxy is exposed to the internet on port 443, when a packet hits it, it knows to rereoute the traffic to server running on my machine at localhost port 8080. You can also have a reverse proxy to have one singular ingress point for many web applications. The reverse proxy will know that requests for http://MyCoolWebApp.com go to localhost:8080 and http://MyOtherCoolWebApp.com go to localhost:8081.
It's a good thing I'm not submitting that comment to a journal for peer review, then.
