In addition to other responses, and if the lender is a bank, and given a fractional reserve banking system - it's possible that the lender doesn't actually pay the amount loaned out of their own assets. It just counts against the amount which, multiplied by the reserve fraction, must be backed by a reserve. So assuming a fraction of 1/10, it is somewhat as though they had loaned out a tenth of the money the lender actually gets.
I've seen this phenomenon play out multiple times in my professional career, where a considerable amount of effort goes into creating a robust system only for the effort to be minimized by management due to its stability. Somehow preventing a plane from crashing is not as valuable as digging through the ashes.
Interesting, I started playing with spotlight and typing in (-20)^21 returns " = 0", which is obviously not correct.

And typing in "(-22)^21" gives "-71100888972574851072", but wolfram alpha insists it should be "-15519448971100888972574851072".

Looks like there are still bugs here.
Thank you. You are right, the software is free for evaluation and personal use. For commercial use, you need to buy license.

We would like to make this package sustainable :) There are a lot of open source packages that developers can't further develop and maintain because lack of funding.
Is it really that good of a risk profile? Some of these assets they are writing against are pretty volatile. I would not write a low interest loan against TSLA shares or commercial office buildings.
Running the math on scaling any proposed systems up to a rate where they can actually make a dent on the atmosphere is VERY depressing.

It doesn't matter what sequestration process you want to use. The volume of material you end up with after removing a couple hundred gigatons out of the atmosphere isn't a pile and isn't a mountain, it's a mountain range. This is a HUGE industrial process that is going to be required, and the volume of material that will come out of that industrial scale sequestration facility is very hard to imagine.

It doesn't matter what form you choose to sink the carbon into. Carbon density per cubic foot just doesn't vary much, even if you go all the way up to exotic targets like diamond. Hundreds of gigatons maps to huge volumes, and always will.

Worse, most things you might choose to sink the carbon into are energetically favorable for burning that carbon back into CO2 should mankind ever realize it could turn that huge pile of whatever into a source of energy. That sets up a situation where even if we solve the problem "now", most approaches would have us creating an attractive nuisance that is very likely to get burned back into the atmosphere 500 or 1000 years from now if we ever forget why it exists. Such an enormous amount of available potential energy will be very valuable financially and VERY difficult for humanity to refrain from burning back into the antmosphere again.
Jan 2022 for me. I also have the "air hunger" sensation, but it comes in spurts. I was also perscribed an inhaler, and have used it a few times, but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.
Yeah come on. Just tell the kids that you are taking the dot product of every row vector in A and every column vector in B. The weirdness comes from the fact that nobody ever told them that you can write the dot product as the multiplication of a transposed vector aka a row vector and a column vector as in a^Tb = <a,b>.

Someone who is being told to multiply this entry with that entry will get confused if they don't have the high level overview. They will miss the forest for the trees.
What is it about the stand-alone app that you find valuable?

I think it's already complicated to find all the software that uses a library version that has a known vulnerability, because of the many slightly different versions floating around, static linking, software running in docker containers etc. Expecting to further identify which applications use a particular part of a library gets even more difficult, and lazy developers will use this as an excuse not to patch far more often than you'll save on unnecessary updates.

Not to mention, this already happens to some extent, especially for older versions of software: distributors and developers do sometimes say "we will not provide a patch because even if we use the affected library, we don't use it in a way that triggers the vulnerability".
If you can get the work done fast and hurry the processor back into a low-power sleep state ASAP, it can actually be power efficient too!
I don't know how much detail they have but yes, insurers in the US do know if you've received a ticket for a moving violation (parking violations are irrelevant).

Many of them use solutions like LexisNexis Risk Solutions (which is like a 3rd party API that can return this data). How LNRS gets the data, I'm not sure.

For example, insurers also get data for stolen vehicles since it affects claims. I know this because in a previous (local government) job, I literally sat on calls about building an integration where we sent license plates of stolen cars (officially reported stolen to the police), if we wrote parking tickets for those cars, since we (another local gov agency) spotted the stolen car.

To me, even though I have strong feelings against privacy and surveillance, this felt like a totally pragmatic (and laser focused, it only affect cars that were currently designated stolen) use of the data.
I’m unsure how to compare a cost paid after I die to one I pay now. Is that my cost at all? It seems like a philosophical question. I guess it depends on how much you care about your heirs.
Openwrt working on moving to Alpine Package Manager (APK)
It depends what you want to do. If you want to develop native desktop applications or video games you're probably better off doing that on Windows as the addressable market is so much larger.

Web development on Linux makes a lot of sense because it will likely be hosted on Linux, as the article says. But it's not really that big of a deal typically what OS your Python/Node/PHP/Ruby/etc web application is running on as you typically aren't doing much OS specific things. In fact, I would encourage people to keep their web applications as OS agnostic as possible.
They use AWS.
Article makes exactly zero arguments why switching to Linux would be beneficial to any developer. Instead, it argues that if something breaks -- then it's your own fault, makes vague claims such as "Most of the Internet runs on Linux", and says that Linux is harder to "learn" than Windows.

If I was trying to makes sense out of this as someone who doesn't use Linux daily, I'd be heavily confused and discouraged by such writing.

I also love Feedly, and pay for it. "mute filters" are a great feature. I can exclude keywords from feeds.

So, for example, I consume HN via rss, and filter out all the stories about tech & political celebrities, which have low intellectual caloric content.

I should probably add a filter to exclude "?" to apply Betteridge's law...
Many enterprise storage systems have the durability/availability tradeoff like these replicated disks when replicating outside of a single datacenter. (Oracle calls it "max availability": try to synchronously replicate, but if the remote side is offline, allow transactions to commit.) Real world banks run on these sorts of systems.

Users don't continuously check replication status. They rely on it being synchronous almost all the time.

3 way quorum replication is great, but you then need to send to more data centers, potentially affecting performance. There's a tradeoff.

Challenge: find other sequences that you can use to convert, using integer coefficients in the recurrence. For miles to kilometers, you have to get a better approximation than phi.

I wasn't able to for miles to kilometers, but for pounds to kilograms I got:

a_n = a_{n-1} + 4*a_{n-2} - 3*a_{n-3}

Converges (slowly!) to a ratio of 2.199, so you can then take the previous term of the sequence to convert from pounds to kilograms.

I can usually appreciate Apple's design homages. The original iOS Calculator is inspired by the Braun ET, and it makes some sense to provide a familiar design for basic use.

But it inherits baggage from the limitations of the handheld calculators of the 1970s. Why can't I use the - button to write a negative sign? What does "AC" mean? The scientific calculator is an even worse design. There's a ton of invisible state, like the value stored in memory, or whether you're inside parentheses. The user has to hold the whole sequence of operations in their head, without clicking a single wrong button. Want to repeat a calculation with a different operand? Tough.

Graphing calculators like the TI-84 that let you see and edit your input are so much more usable. Even better are notebook-style interfaces like Mathematica. It's a shame Apple won't pay homage to those designs.
Late 20s, same thing. I am constantly forgetting words for things, but can visualize what it's describing in my head.

That's a client library for interacting with now defunct Typeform I/O, so it won't work anymore. But maybe the DSL itself could be an inspiration, or you could wrangle a fork of the library to create the forms locally.
I’ve wondered this myself, how could 50 miles of moving 5000lbs at 60mph be equal to sitting running a camera for a day or two.

When I had a model 3 it also had an absurd amount of drain over night, 4-5% battery when it was just sitting there (without overheat A/C)

> The day I stopped believing in the possibility of "self-documenting code" was the day I started writing more readable code.

"More readable" is self-documenting! Doesn't matter how you get there (though it's a bummer you've lost faith), just matters that you did.

> No type system will replace docs or even comments. No type signature will give you the why, the big picture or the context.

Types are just one small part of the picture: did you read even the first full message, much less the full post? Are you aware of the other non-type-related benefits Rust provides?

OP helpfully gave an illustrative list I'll reproduce here for you since I'm not sure you saw it:

> When a callback is called are any locks held or do you need to acquire your own? What about free callbacks, are they special? What's the intended locking order? Are there special cases where some operations might take locks in some cases but not others?

> Is a NULL argument allowed and valid usage, or not? What happens to reference counts in the error case? Is a returned ref counted pointer already incremented, or is it an implied borrow from a reference owned by a passed argument?

> Is the return value always a valid pointer? Can it be NULL? Or maybe it's an ERR_PTR? Maybe both? What about pointers returned via indirect arguments, are those cleared to NULL on error or left alone? Is it valid to pass a NULL * if you don't need that return pointer?

Only a few of those are concerned with type safety. You really should read the whole thing.
What do you think the borrower did with the $hundred-M that they borrowed?

> you will break your Linux many times.... and I had no idea how to fix it.

Yeah, that's exactly what killed it for me. ALSA produced weird sounds... After a long time of trying various things, the solution was "emerge -e @world" (recompile everything).

I will gladly endorse the "learn the root cause why it doesn't work" motto from the article. That will serve everyone well, though be judicial when to apply it. Some things are not worth it.

> Those fields are C, Unix, and Computer Networking.

Learning C is a dead end, soon to be nearly illegal dead end (memory unsafe languages are not conductive to secure software and laws on sw security are being passed).

I took a lot from my time with Linux, bash is great (to me preferable to powershell, though idea to pass object is quite appealling), but now mostly in form of WSL.

I have encountered a lot of weird bugs and I am at the point of my life, when I don't want to spend on a long time studying obscure configuration file with multitude of options (at least they have often explanations and examples... sound of progress).

I will take my happy abstracted layer (linux docker mostly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
Is this move the reason for the random 403 errors I get from the tumblr rss feeds I follow? Since a few weeks ago, some feeds are disappearing then reappearing, sometimes they are unavailable for a few days, sometimes it's back the moment I refresh. If the move is in the future, I guess that means they have neglected the current platform.

Ask HN: To do or not to do – providing passport number for domain name?
Hello all!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I would like to copy Naval Ravikant's website domain name (nav.al), because my first name also ends with "al".

However, in order to buy the Albanian domain name (.al) from Marcaria.com, the "domain authority requires that you provide additional information about the owner of the domain: Passport Number or Personal ID".

I am in the US and have never had to do this for work or personal domains I purchased from Google Domains, so I am uncomfortable with providing my passport number.

Has anyone done this before?

Can someone provide context to this situation, so I can better understand the verification request?

Thanks!

Did you read the introductory article[1] about ghost keys?

Ghost key verification is decentralized, they are created centrally but anonymously (relying on the well-established RSA blind signature algorithm[2]).

We also have a novel proposal for an entirely decentralized system called Proof of Trust[3], which relies on the scarcity of reciprocal trust to make identity creation expensive (without burning energy like proof-of-work).

Every time I’ve tried Linux it’s always been a little clunky. I think it’s come a long way, but recently I loaded Ubuntu on to my old 2013 MacBook Pro and it works pretty well.

What’s driving me crazy is I have all these shortcuts for Mac and I’m trying to figure out the equivalent in Linux. One stupid thing is paste doesn’t work in the terminal… seriously? Why can’t I ctrl-v after ctrl-c from web browser?

The little cursor/word navigation shortcuts are driving me crazy as well like jump word to the right or left, highlight entire line, jump to end of line, etc.

I should probably try the Framework laptop or some other hardware Linux ready though.
Just caught the end of a documentary that mentioned this and it blew my mind. ~40k years old, the earliest known statue.
Fundamentally it takes a lot of energy to split the molecules back apart, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these plans involve doing so. There's so much Oxygen in the atmosphere that we really can't make significant changes to it. CO2 is a very small constituent in comparison, but it still has significant effects. The best analogy I've seen is that it's comparable to the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Well, you could waste a lot of money that could be put to better use.

Recent research shows that the global warming we are experiencing is causing the increase in atmospheric CO2, not the other way around.[0] Better to spend some money on investigating the actual reason for the warming.

We would like to keep package sustainable. Earlier, we've created package for AutoML which is MIT license (https://github.com/mljar/mljar-supervised), and it is very hard to monetise it, and you need to have funds to keep package maintained and work on it.

Regarding purchasing, we just don't have time create landing page with buy button :) we will add it soon. The package cost will be 499 USD/yearly. We already have few finance companies interested.
i encourage a lot of people to learn linux but not for programming specifically. some things are easier on windows, others linux i guess. if u need to crack open WSL i'd say learn linux. the cmdline is nice also to learn automations and scripting, but powershell is also cool to learn. i'd say it really depends on what you want to do. bsd might be even a sane choice. mac i havent the moneys for :D

See, the file system is a fine system for general data, but if you have data of a specific kind, then there’s often a better way than just dumping them in the file system. That’s always been Apple’s approach: let data assigned to a specific app be handled by that app [1].

Apple’s approach has also been to allow export of that data into standard interoperable formats (be it music, photos, emails, contacts, calendars, etc.).

And FWIW, the photos are in “~/Pictures/Photos Library” - that must have been very difficult to find.

[1] it had two pieces of metadata, content type and creator, for files in Mac OSes prior to OS X, when it regressed to the windows/Unix way of handling things with inelegant file extensions.
>it should not be impossible to train your staff to use your layer instead.

First, it's the classic chicken and egg problem. Why would you invest in a CUDA alternative when you're going to be using nvidia hardware anyway?

Second, something can be not impossible but still quite difficult. As AMD and Intel have shown, creating a GPGPU API for your hardware that people want to use is not a trivial task and to date have not managed to do it.

Lastly this must just be differences in our experiences with cooperate management, because mine has been that in general they would always prefer to spend on stuff over headcount if said stuff reduces the headcount required.
Thanks. Yes, Etherpad is the best example with good responsiveness/latency/multi-user experience that I knew of. I had thought Etherpad was too lightweight/minimal, though.

Looking now, I didn't realize Etherpad currently has so many plugins (for things like fonts, etc.). Going to try to customize it and see how it goes. Thanks!

Wow, ethercalc.net might just work, too. Gonna have to give that a real try. Seems there are some long open issue and no recent updates as at https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc but, it still might be better than alternatives.

Thanks, really!

Automattic has said for years that they (Wordpress) power X% of the internet.

Before wordpress.com users had to actively choose WP.

With the advent of wordpress.com and it's 'freemium' tier that arguably started to distort numbers. After all, stale, dead "Hello World" blogs count toward stats.

Now, with Tumblr, Automattic will say they power X+% of the internet

When Automattic buys Blogger, that boast about powering % of the net will increase even further.

It's a takeover, not user choice.

An Open Source compatibility layer for CUDA to allow people to run on non-NVIDIA GPUs is a first step; it removes the lock-in between GPU and library. Once people can run all their existing software on a different GPU, they can then consider adopting a better standard to build on top of.

The reverse approach, of trying to entice people to move from CUDA to a different library and switch GPUs at the same time, has been tried repeatedly and has not yet succeeded. Trying something different seems warranted.
