Good news....you know that worry about zero interest?

TARP was closed in fall of 2023 as all assets were sold off, see
https://home.treasury.gov/data/troubled-asset-relief-program

That means assuming we do not screw up again, no more zero or negative interest situations.

Show HN: Recipe web app for people with food allergies
I created a recipe social network where users can bookmark recipes made by other users and place them in categories they created. Users also get notified when a friend creates a recipe and if they are reading a recipe that has allergens in it. It is about 90% complete I just want to get a second opinion on my project. Thanks.
Ganging is a term usually associated with faders on light control desks or audio mixing consoles. A typical way to indicate ganging in digital audio interfaces is by coloring the knows in the same color (usually very distinct from the rest of the interface) or by displaying a horizontal line that literally connects them.

For me the astounding part here is the complete lack of visual feedback of the end result. Sure I have limited nautical experience, but from sailing I know ships are a lot about force vectors. I would have imagined a ship of that class has a clever and intuitive way of displaying the forces acting on it (and the forces applied by its various parts).

This could literally be 3 horizontal bars with a 0 in the center. If the bar is filled to the left that bar makes you go left, if your bar is filled to the right, that is where it makes you go and if it is centered, you go to the center.

One bar describes the resulting turning direction of both engines, one the turning direction as indicated by the rudder and one the sum of both.

Sure there is then some ambiguity about what that means when you go backwards etc, but hey, one look at that would have told you "engine makes us go left".
Ruby is even worse in my experience, but I guess some people have strange priorities.
Don't you think there's a war going on in Europe right now and it's affecting a lot of industries?
Banking is one of the domains where you will encounter the bleeding edge of sophisticated bot/malware detection. Banks lose billions to fraud and theft. They will pay top dollar to detect and prevent it. Likewise, since the thieves can make so much money bypassing it, they will in turn be extremely sophisticated with their attacks. In short, you’re going to have a bad time. The easiest suggestion mentioned here is to buy a cheap phone and only use it for banking.

Additionally, most scammers don’t even bother trying to emulate phone platforms. It’s easier to buy lots of phones and install custom software that allows a bot farm to remote control it.
So eventually the whole system of human evolution comes down to a system invented at the start of society, the rich, the poor and the surviving.
I would have agreed, but the US BTC ETF success shows that people care about the asset of BTC divorced from the promise of lack of regulation.
Agreed. The word "rerouted" makes it sound like this represents a change of plans, which it is not.

> Googlers, if you're reading this, JSON-LD could have the same level of public awareness as RSS if only you could release, and then shut down, some kind of app or service in this area. Please, for the good of the web: consider it.

Google has been pushing JSON-LD to webmasters for better SEO for at least 5 years, if not more: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structu...

There really isn't a need to do it as most of the relevant page metadata is already captured as part of the Open Graph protocol[0] that Twitter and Facebook popularized 10+ years ago as webmasters were attempting to set up rich link previews for URLs posted to those networks. Markup like this:

<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />

is common on most sites now, so what benefit is there for doing additional work to generate JSON-LD with the same data?

Did you measure 1 hour after wake up? At wakeup there's the "dawn effect" where glucose rises/ketones fall.

What diet did you really try? Keto diet is known to ~easily fix T2D. A good company that can do that is virtahealth.com.

The only way to quit drugs (sugar) is to no take drugs at all, not take less drugs.

Source: I do keto diet but for other reasons. I was addicted to carbs, but not fat, and am no more. I would end up as T2D in 10-20 years though. If I restart carbs I will get addicted again.

Price matters, but you said prompt injection is relevant because of price. Maybe a typo...
That's not how system programmers think..
Is this "Correlation vs Causation"?

Seems like diabetes is strongly correlated to your weight.

If this pill suppresses hungry, causing you to lose weight, have healthier teeth because you're eating less, and since you lost weight - less likely to get diabetes ... what's Correlation vs Causation here?
The verification and mining are the things that make blockchains unique (allow for adversarial nodes, censorship resistance) but you're not wrong that blockchains have a lot in common with git
Yes. Talk to your doctor. IMO, far better to address your weight before it causes health problems than after.

(My brother was in a similar situation as you. BMI out-of-control his whole life, really. No real health problems, though he felt it was just a matter of time. Tried all the things — and remains a very avid walker — but could not reduce his weight substantially until Ozempic. He’s looking good now, quality of life is higher, and I’ve got to believe he’ll live longer.)
> Why should we be bound to the unverifiable world view of dead men?

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the US. The way to update it to take changes in the world into account is to amend it, which has already happened twenty-seven times. It is not to just ignore what it says or pretend it says something different if you don't like what it says.
If they are putting people on shift who are too tired to competently do their job, I assume many of those jobs aren't actually important. Some of the jobs are important (and when done wrong lead to these kinds of incidents), but given how widespread sleep deprivation is from people's comments here, clearly a lot of the jobs can be done very poorly without affecting operations.

That sounds like a management issue. Congress doesn't manage how ships run. The Navy makes all those choices itself.
Indeed. Excess profits will encourage extra sources of supply that otherwise would not materialize.

Price gouging enables faster resolution of the situation that caused price gouging in the first place!

It decreases overall misery; it doesn't increase it. To see that you have to be able to see the big picture and look beyond more than the immediate price; unfortunately most people can't think that systemically.
I did this very recently for a wedding vendor and it worked like a charm. There was no stipulation that I'd have to provide dinner to a vendor who would come in after the dinner ended. The owner insisted a few days before the wedding that the staff can come in earlier and would be able to eat, would be energized and appreciate the dinner etc.

I was annoyed but said I can charge him (the owner) the exact cost for a plate if this would mean that much to him and he instantly was willing for forgo dinner for his staff, lol...

Yes, I said “impractical”, not “impossible”.
Good. They've lost market share continuously for fifteen years.

In 2009 they had a 30% market share.

Now they have a 5-6% market share.

4/5ths of their market share, gone.

We are talking about American-built products on an American-built website. I think people would happily use metric units when talking about foreign products on foreign websites, but for some inexplicable reason, these are much less often the center of the conversation.

"Aside from the bit of unpleasantness how did Mrs. Lincoln find the play?" Because the people who don't want to live there factor in the very real "traffic costs". For a similar reason to why hosting the Olympics is a disappointment to tourist countries: it doesn't add new tourists on top, it replaces the existing set as others avoid the country due to the crowds.
> list.shuffle().pop()

Oh, no. It's not a shuffle. They unerringly identify the least important possible action item. Sometimes just a single clause of a single sentence in a list item.

You have to scour your communication of anything that can possibly be interpreted as an easy request. It has to be a curt, imperative, isolated, request to do something hard or it will be ignored.
Also, piezoelectric motors are a thing - sure, they're super tiny and for specific purposes (very fine movement), but beyond the fact that they use electricity to generate the vibrations that they then use for movement, I don't think it would be considered "electromagnetic".

Actually, in that same vein would be a Nitinol or similar "shape-memory alloy" motor - run power through it to have it change shape, then remove power to let it relax.

So yeah, unless I'm misremembering or grossly misusing terms, "piezoelectric" and "thermoelectric" electric motors both exist...
So, are we holding off on Mutually Assured Destruction via Nuclear Warheads until our technoogy supports it or we our natural evolution progresses.

This effect also applies to polymers! Perhaps even more so. Take a polyethylene bag (LDPE) and stretch the material in one direction. You might notice the material becomes thinner but also stronger. This is due to the polymer chains becoming aligned. Eventually you get "drawn fibers" where the molecular strands are aligned with the fibers for optimum tensile strength.
During the Francoist period, the lyrics to the Spanish national anthem (which now officially has no lyrics) read in part

But it doesn't, nobody has strictly improved on bitcoin (in terms of crypto design) since it was developed. Other cryptos will make claims about their speed or other things compared to bitcoin but never highlight what trade offs they had to make for those
But is it even possible to achieve that goal? It seems like the only kind of loans supported by cryptocurrency use cryptocurrency as collateral - that is, they’re effectively margin loans used to increase leverage, or a way to cash out while avoiding taxes. That seems rather limiting. Are there other ways to implement loans?

I’m skeptical because repossessing real-world collateral is a physical process, not something just done on in software.
Exactly my thoughts. IMO it's analogous to SSL/TLS, which for the longest time was something you had to pay extra for at multiple levels. You had to get a dedicated IP for your service instead of being able to use shared hosting, you had to buy the certificate itself, and you had to have someone renew it and install the new certificate every now and then. Even from the user side there were web sites I remember where SSL access as a client was a premium feature as if it had a meaningful cost per use instead of just the cost to have it available at all.

This was long lamented in the security-focused parts of the internet but no significant movement happened until late 2010 when the Firesheep extension made sniffing unencrypted passwords or session keys accessible to the masses. Suddenly it wasn't just security nerds complaining about things that could easily be brushed off by higher-ups, it was a problem that anyone who could install a Firefox extension (which thanks to ad blocking and the general badness of could see with their own eyes

Almost overnight major services decided that they in fact were fully capable of offering encrypted services to everyone. Suddenly client and server applications, SSL/TLS libraries, etc. that had been ignoring SNI all started supporting it over the next year or two so you didn't need a dedicated IP per hostname anymore. The ISRG was formed and developed Let's Encrypt to solve the problem of having to pay for certs, and while they were at it took the opportunity to develop and enforce the use of ACME with short-lived certificates so automation was effectively mandatory.

In six years we went from there being a "SSL/TLS Tax", which every part of the process would defend as absolutely necessary costs, to it being freely available to all and automatically supported by a lot of major application and service platforms.

I look at the SSO Tax situation as being mostly comparable from the user side of things. The internet as a whole would benefit from wide support for SSO, but the demand to solve the problem is minimal because most of the people making the purchasing decisions don't care about the problem enough to make it a requirement.

There are definitely some valid points that have been made about support costs associated with SSO, especially with regards to supporting more than just a couple of big name identity providers, but I don't think most people would complain if a vendor limited their free/cheap tiers to those couple of big systems those clients are likely already using. If someone needs custom integration they get to pay enterprise prices, but if they just want to sign in with Google that should be accessible to all. The support costs should scale well with a good implementation, hypothetically if Google or Microsoft changes something that breaks your integration you only have to fix it once to solve issues for everyone using it, as opposed to private identity services where each tenant might need something slightly different.

As I recall, you still input rudder orders with a wheel on these. Maybe you can enter a rudder setting? The system actually can fully automatically drive the ship. You can just enter a navigation plan and it will do the whole thing. The Navy doesn't use that capability though.
This. The point of interest should had been why it warmed up so fast before, not why it falling down now to a bit closer to what used to be normal. Specially if we are talking about limited regions of the ocean (not the whole ocean), with water circulation playing a role there.
Git does not have a consensus mechanism. You have your copy of the repository, and someone else has their copy. If you want to push your changes to a remote, if there were divergent changes you need to first pull the remote, merge the changes and resolve conflicts, and then push. The remote can change their version of the repo anytime they want in any way they want. Also, when you try to push a change, it is up to the remote to accept it or not, they can deny it for whatever reason.

The point of a blockchain is that 1. There is a distributed consensus about the state of the blockchain (the one accepted by 51%+ of nodes) and 2. No one can alter information relating to your wallet without your keys. Git lacks either of these properties and these properties cannot be introduced without a centralized system like Github/Gitlab. Thus, Git is just a decentralized protocol, not a blockchain.

It's $80k/year at a 4% withdrawal rate. If you were 30 with a family it might be cutting it close (depends on things like student loans, cost of health insurance, car payments, cost of mortgage, etc). Bumping it up to $2.5m would probably make things a lot more comfortable, but the point remains that OP has no reason to worry.

Estradiol valerate (which is what the article actually names) seems to be used for a wide variety of female reproductive health issues, especially when (as the article suggests) it's compounded with other drugs. It's also used by transgender people as a hormone therapy. A hacker might live in a place where gender-affirming healthcare is illegal or unavailable, or where female reproductive healthcare in general is difficult or expensive to obtain.

Reproductive healthcare is much more broadly useful than Molotov cocktails.
Crypto hasn't solved the digital scarcity issue at all. If the game stops existing so do the servers hosting the assets, since most crypto systems can only hold small tokens rather than the assets themselves. There are plenty of NFT examples where the underlying company went broke and the assets themselves disappeared from the internet. The MTG example falls flat if Wizards (the owners) take down their asset hosting services, so it's still mostly centralized and dependent on a company to function.
PB Blaster is the product everyone thinks WD-40 is. Even still, I wouldn’t use it in the place of real oil/grease/lubricant but in a pinch it’s far better than WD-40 for those odd chores.
>I also have a definition of what I think level should ideally represent: the marginal contribution of a person’s influence on the outcome of a company, relative to the counterfactual situation where that person never worked there

We don’t typically do affirmative action by picking interview questions that make things harder for some candidates as opposed to others, though. We consider some questions to be easier for, say, men to answer (“tell me about a time you were asked to demonstrate leadership”) but we seek to remove that bias rather than asking questions that solely focus on things that can only be answered by those who experienced bias (e.g. “tell me about a time you experienced racism that affected your work” is not likely to be an interview question).
Because housing is treated as an asset in the Anglosphere.

Most of the money over the last 20 years has just gone into Asset purchases, little into in productive activities. Hence the asset price inflation.

As an electrical engineer that wrote more than 5 different denouncing implementations: You are of course correct about denouncing, yet most buttons wouldn't need more than 25ms denouncing, which is a magnitude less.

Gold is and has been a decentralized currency for a very long time. It’s mostly just very inconvenient to transport.

> Then we abandoned it in favor of centralized currency for some reason. I don't know, reliability perhaps?

The global economy practically requires a centralized currency, because the value of your currency vs other countries becomes extremely important for trading in a global economy (importers want high value currency, exporters want low).

It’s also a requirement to do financial meddling like what the US has been doing with interest rates to curb inflation. None of that is possible on the blockchain without a central authority.

Why should anybody do that though? It doesn't benefit individual users, it benefits web scrapers mostly. Search bots are pretty sophisticated at parsing HTML so it isn't an issue there.
That's a feature, not a bug.

The government reaction to the 2021 economic circumstances was to counter the hot job market, not inflation. It is explicitly and legally the mandate of the federal reserve to target maximum employment first, and 3% inflation if possible.

Inflation has been normal for a while now by most metrics, but rates are still sky-high to crush worker power. This may not be the stated goal, but it is the actual outcome we can see.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Super-low inflation targets hurt worker negotiating power.
A new generation of system programmers is tired of solving the same old boring memory riddles over and over again and no borrow checker is going to help them because it only brings new riddles.

Elon Musk is very wasteful selling waste due to low interest rates? Please explain or make your point? I don't get how he relates to the rest of your post?
Not every crosswalk. This is explictly only for signaled intersections/crosswalks. i.e. those that already have a pushbutton, a walk sign, and a stoplight.

That only covers a very small portion of crosswalks and is generally done for crosswalks in high throughput areas or areas where risks of a pedestrian/vehicle collision are high. i.e. the places where you'd want additional augmentation to notify drivers and prevent collisions
Such bad entities would not care who was affected in the incident if they were willing to go after their intended target even if it meant others would be caught in the blast radius.

This also does not explain how after that the case was closed, those directly connected to beating the lawsuit are now either disappeared or found dead and now with Mike Lynch who is now unfortunately deceased. Even if they had advanced notice of the 'weather' conditions, none of the other boats were affected and ONLY that yacht was.
