I think the other poster was just being polite, trying to have a discussion about the left's misuse of the term fascism, yet failed to account for the degree of intelligence required to understand such nuance. So let me spell it out for you all, you are misusing the term and on the odd occasion that one of you actually checks the definition, you view it through your own biased lens, rather than reading the complex description thoroughly. You cherry-pick some terms and twist others around to suit your own dogma, with the intended goal of using it to villainise the enemy.

If you replace nationalism with partisanship, in very many ways the modern left is far more closely aligned with the vile components of fascism than the republican party, or even Trump supporters. The left have done everything they can do vilify anyone who disagrees with their core beliefs, which they hold are a matter of morale superiority and to which, in their minds, no person of moral substance could ever find disagreeable.

By very definition, conservatives are conservative. When they disagree with someone, they continue to treat them respectfully and move on with their lives, comfortable in the reality that there exists people around them with very different beliefs than their own. The left, on the other hand, do no such thing and yet look in the mirror and convince themselves that they're the better people in all this.

Trump less won this election than the democrats did lose it by arrogantly putting up a candidate with strong ties to the current unpopular administration and whose other policies and attributes did not appeal to the swing voter.
Trump is going to reduce the USA's proxy-emissions in China if he pulls through on tariffs at least I guess.
I don't know. What's going to happen with Tether?

My non-built-in CLI utility recommendations, none of which are macOS specific:

* atuin - TUI for shell history, backed by SQLite - https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin

* LSD (LSDeluxe) - rewrite of `ls` - https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd

* ripgrep - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

* fzf - command-line fuzzy finder that enhances file search, command history search, and more - https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Notes:

- To get pretty extra file/folder symbols with LSD, you'll probably need to install some special fonts.

- You can use `fzf` and `ripgrep` together.
I wouldn't be too worried.

Sen. Bill Hagerty is in the running for Commerce Secretary (Commerce is the department that runs the CHIPS Act), and he crossed the aisle on a number of semiconductor related legislation.
The other day I posted similar tables/scripts for related character properties and there was some good discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42014045

- Unicode codepoints that expand or contract when case is changed in UTF-8: https://gist.github.com/rendello/d37552507a389656e248f3255a6...

- Unicode roundtrip-unsafe characters:
https://gist.github.com/rendello/4d8266b7c52bf0e98eab2073b38...

For example, if we do uppercase→lower→upper, some characters don't survive the roundtrip:

Ω ω Ω

İ i̇ İ

K k K

Å å Å

ẞ ß SS

ϴ θ Θ

I'm using the scripts to build out a little automated-testing generator library, something like "Tricky Unicode/UTF-8 case-change characters". Any other weird case quirks anyone can think of to put in the generators?
Speculators buying from speculators and hoping today isn't the day the hot potato explodes.
+1 on your comment.

I think having a description of Apple's threat model would help.

I was thinking that open source would help with their verifiable privacy promise. Then again, as you've said, if Apple controls the root of trust, they control everything.
You're out of touch. Yuppies without empathy for the working class can't understand why the price of groceries (not just eggs, but eggs exemplify the problem) is relevant because you lot are making north of six figures anyway.
gramps, btc has taken over as storage of value akin to digital gold at this point many years ago. No more convenient/secure way to move money.
> I get that "most pc's can run Bitcoin core"

Is that true though ?

I find that it doesn't take much CPU or bandwidth to run a node, as long as you limit the number of incoming peers.

Disk space (if you keep the full historical chain) is a bit more (three quarters of a T), but these days, that's fairly cheap.
Yes, the economy is incredible but wealth disparity is too. The average person isn’t winning. Trump’s proposed economic changes appear to make that much worse, as well.
i would like to point out, twitter’s valuation was higher before elon bought it.
Because Harris was such a bad candidate.
It's kind of a best kept secret, but for US talent (bay area, EX-fang) there's a great market in Europe. 95% comp what you'd make in the US. Virtually unlimited leverage when negotiating.
He also claimed the ass-grabs and demeaning remarks will "always" be from managers [without trade experience]. Which is wild.

> "I think normal voters are perfectly capable of understanding this. It's you who seem to be saying that low income voters are incapable of understanding this and should instead be lied to."

I offer in rebuttal the election results (which, to be clear, I myself am not happy about).

The Democrats could have promised a lot more programs and initiatives to relieve the pain of the working class than they did. They could have made economic relief a lot more central to their advertising. People want their pain acknowledged and sympathized with, not waved away with an airy "it's not so bad".
As with any new role/team/etc, the best course forward is to set some "evaluation time frames" at the start and then follow through with the process of deeply reconsidering whether it is actually a good fit at each checkpoint. My rough set of early such milestones happen at one month, three months, six months, and one year. If it is not, then the best way forward is to simply start looking for a new role/team/etc either internally or externally.

Well yeah. It's a right wing project on the day after the monumental success of another far right project with which it is closely linked.
An offer to update to Server 2025 is showing up in Windows Update for a Server 2019 system to which I have access but it is not auto-installing.
> Inflation.

The lack of basic macroeconomic education is truly becoming an ever more problem in free societies.

Living in capitalism while not really understanding basic tennents makes one ripe for manipulation and that way endangers freedoms we all cherish.
> The vast majority of the cost of health care is old people

Chronic costs, yes, costs borne out of tail risks - no.

> Marketable skills like shopkeeper? That's what Jensen Huang's parents were.

If you have the drive, economic ability, wherewithal in 2024 to keep a shop - operate a business - in the United States in 2024, yes, this is a desirable, marketable skill.
It's backed on air. Not even hot air.
What is the 25% figure coming from? Not disputing it, just curious.

Unable to give US equivalents but I think the price increases were pretty significant on the lower end and less so the higher you go up.

Until a few years ago it was possible to get instant ramen noodles for ~15p, you could get 6 eggs for like 80p, baked beans for 20p, etc. All of these things and similar spiked massively very very quickly. There was also a kind of double inflation where a lot of the value offerings seemed to disappear from shelves for an extended period (e.g. I remember a patch of several months where those instant ramen noodles weren't stocked in any supermarket near me at all while the 90p branded version was).

They've actually gone back down somewhat since but what you're looking at is people barely scraping by seeing drastic increases in their grocery bills.

Similar issues occurred with energy costs in the last few years; along with the rates going up the companies drastically bumped up the standing charge so even if you almost cut out all usage entirely you still could wind up seeing an increase.
"inflation time bomb". I never saw that term before. What was the primary cause of simultaneous inflation in all highly advanced economies, and how was Trump responsible for the US component?
I worked for a startup designing solar panel meters during the 2016 administration, and know firsthand how damaging it was. The tariffs put in place affected raw materials for the panels, but somehow not the finished products from overseas that we were competing with. The entire R&D branch had to be frozen out until it was over.
>Maybe we should be getting it from supplements anyway.

Supplements as in flouride toothpaste and mouthwash? I think most everyone does, aside from those on HN who read Scott Alexander's blog.
This was a self-inflicted wound.

* Weak, deceptive, evasive candidate

* Entitled attitude in the party

* Unknown people running the party. Still.

* Full embrace of cray cray ideologies, rejection of meritocracy

* Disengagement and withdrawal from free discussion forums

* Using X to talk only about sports. Looking at you, Gruber

* Constant ineffective, ignorant, and ill-informed trolling of their perceived opponents while unwittingly creating new ones

* Disingenuously labeling the other side as "garbage" (said by Biden, and he is President, not a jerk racist comedian)

* Assuming and never questioning the assumption, that people voting for a bad candidate love that candidate.

* Taking the low road

* Hiding Biden's incompetence, then, when caught, letting him stick around

* Accepting the notion that one can negotiate a peace deal with Hamas

* All the other things people are pretending were the only problems: the economy, immigration, etc. which genuinely also were problems.

There are a lot of things the Democratic party had going for it. They really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory:

* The Republican candidate is one of the worst people you could possibly imagine for the job.

* He is (I believe) a rapist, for god's sake

* He's nearly as demented as Biden

* He lies even more than Kamala

* Anti-woman is an understatement

Democrats have to ask themselves, who is running our party, and for what ends? I don't think they know. I don't even recognize what they are now.

It's not the economy, stupid. It's the trolling, the disengagement, and the entitlement. They are off-putting.
>I think Biden's decision to run for a second term was what sunk them.

They didn't have anybody else they could think of who was more electable. They had squandered years when they should have groomed flashier personalities having more substance than Trump.

The only reason Trump got in to begin with is the Republicans had squandered their own years, and by the time 2024 came around neither party had anyone to offer who wasn't a bit more elderly than average.

I would have liked to see Biden pick Haley as his running mate, and if that didn't work, then resign and make Harris president right there at the primary.
Being from California, I couldn’t see what the ads were like and I’m extremely curious about something.

Were there a bunch of ads explaining why tariffs are going to cause pain and raise prices? And would be likely to spike inflation again?

I’m guessing no due to the election result but please confirm.
> mass deportation is a fantasy

as the grandson of two concentration camp survivors: I'd call that a nightmare and I don't think it's so far from reality you'd hope for.

My father was a mechanic. He learnt fast to stop trying to correct know-it-alls about cars. "Let 'em do stupid shit, it gives us work to bill".
Hard to imagine how you guys lost an election.
What's the best way to sell ~50 BTC these days?
This reaction in bitcoin price is indeed because of Trump winning. He did say he would get rid of Gensler (SEC chair). Let’s see if he does :)
noone knows, but the real question is why any govt hasnt done any significative investigation or attack on tether? the only explanation i see (from the US pov) is that they actually collaborating in deeper investigations so they let it coexist, otherwise it makes no sense how legitimated it is knowing that it's pure fake money and it's not backed up at all

bitcoin wont be real till tether dissapears
Any viewer of data that has 50,000 elements in it has this many items with a scroll wheel. It doesn't matter if it's on the screen at the same time, this is the kind of thing that the UI is supposed to be abstracting away from you; you just describe the UI and the renderer makes it appear on the screen. Example apps (not built with Ink, just some that fit into this category): less, https://fx.wtf, sqlite...

And this is why React apps end up with bad performance by default. Doesn't crop up in simple tests and light usage, but the bad scaling will catch up with you when you deploy to production.
The real use case is self defense against the arbitrary devaluation of fiat currency. As wildly imperfect as crypto is at that task, it's the best we have in a fungible, digital form. So pessimistic investors flee to it. The worst case for a crypto investor is for the dollar to be restored to a stable store of value. To outcompete crypto, just whip inflation.
I moved to the Netherlands a few years ago. Although my wife and I are independently wealthy I've had a great time consulting over here.
He was fairly down to earth on the Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz podcasts. I'm not saying everything he said was true but the tone of the conversations was fairly different from how he conducts himself at other moments.
Tether has huge trust issues surrounding it, and might be little more than one of the greatest pieces of financial engineering in history.

The best place to learn about this is Protos.
>He didn't provide any details on what he plans to do that will actually improve people's lives.

No, but he had a very simple and catchy message that even people with the lowest IQ can understand and remember: "Fuck illegal immigrants, fuck China, America first, USA no. 1".

Election messages need to appeal to the lowest common denominator of education and intellect. If you start boring people with facts and high brow speeches that only the well educated can understand, you lost from the start.
Here's a (hacky) demo of MPC using MuJoCo in the browser: https://klowrey.github.io/mujoco_wasm/

I hacked it using MPPI and it only works on the cartpole model so as to not have to dwell in Javascript too long; just click the 'MPPI Controller' button and you can perturb the model and see it recover.
The Democratic Party can't win with those tactics anyways. If it imitates the Republicans more and more, everyone will just slide further right. It should've taken a different stance and hard-lined on it. Trying to appeal to voters within the existing, rigged game is a nice show of bravado but not going to get results.
A full node doesn’t do mining

Behind the asset and speculators and media focus on that, these chains are development environments with a different architecture than cloud services, and an attractive pricing model that cloud services cant compete with:

pay to deploy once, unlimited free reads, and your customers pay to update the state of your app and pay to write to your storage, which you prepaid fully in the earlier deployment

account abstraction and signin is already built for you, and transaction rails are already there and you dont need a payment processor’s terms of service to think about for your business model. its unlimited payments of unlimited size to any kind of business you launch.

it also takes all the learnings of marketing funnels, and improves it: your customers already are there and want to pay to use your app. this is the most ideal funnel in web2.0 but is the default in web3

this is always going to attract developers and their entire audiences

there is a big enough audience in the crypto economy already, for a long time. there is no need to convince anyone to come into it, just provide services to people already there based on frictions those people are already having

a full node gives you data on what everyone is doing, for free, especially in the mempool, which includes activity that hasnt been written to the blockchain yet and might never be. this information can be indexed for your perusal better, or repackaged and sold to people that dont want to run a full node
Answering to people arguing against my comment: you guys do not seem to take into account that the technical circumstances were totally different thirty, twenty or even ten years ago! People would have liked to train with more data, and there was a big interest in combining heterogeneous datasets to achieve exactly that. But one major problem was the compute! There weren't any pretrained models that you specialized in one way or the other - you always retrained from scratch. I mean, even today, who's get the capability to train a multibillion GPT from scratch? And not just retraining once a tried and trusted architecture+dataset, no, I mean as a research project trying to optimize your setup towards a certain goal.
GME was, in my opinion, what occupy wall street should have been. Much more effective even.
I think people get ridiculed for thinking like this, but as a gay man married to a EU citizen, I am 100% ready to pull up stakes. We spend months at a time in the EU and have several favorite places we’ve talked about returning to. Western Europe has a progressive, pro-worker culture that the US will never have. I live in Florida and am financially independent. The moment the mood darkens, I’m off to greener pastures. I think the key here is that political stability is the icing on top of a great lifestyle we are already enjoying for part of the year.
If you've dealt with human behavior at scale at all you know that more friction produces less activity. Of course doctors are going to deny treatment if it's treatment that comes with special legal scrutiny. Of course a new layer of legal review and approval is going to suppress the service that gets locked behind it.

I’m from Canada so I’m missing a lot of information and understanding of what it’s like for people who voted for Trump.

Can you explain how you think a vote for Trump was in your best interest? I’m genuinely curious and interested in this perspective.
Anecdote: my middle school P.E. teacher took her class down to Juárez Mexico for a "school" mission trip.

She left the group on the way back so she could stop elsewhere and get her teeth cleaned. She said it was a common sentiment for Americans to cross the border for dental work like that.

(That trip was odd for many other reasons ...)
I do hope they don't use brined white cheese as a symbol.
For freely rotated objects, trackball rotation is only ever appropriate for touch screens, mice should use tumbler instead so that you don't have to pay attention to the absolute position of the cursor.
Per-capita is a hint to the capacity of reduction or a measurement of the inefficiencies of a country.
Could you please elaborate on this supposition? I assume from the context that you suspect the price does not reflect an intrinsic value of the coin. I infer that from reading your sentence as sarcasm; your implication is, it's not used to buy goods and services, therefor this is a bubble. (?)
This ended up being true but is easy to say retrospectively though! I was in (irrationally) mortal fear everyday.

Maybe if Democrats just played the republican card and refused to sign stimulus package just out of spite we would not be here. Same with the bank bailout in 2009.
I read it as almost certainly sarcasm (usually when people use “clearly” like that, it’s sarcasm).
Such as weird and downright stupid thing to ask. Some people need to seek professional help. Delete all the news apps. Delete Social Media. Lock yourself away for the next 4 years or move to a country that doesn't give a shit.
I think you underestimate the guy. Or do you believe that a president that orchestrated a riot on the Capitol is just a minor issue? The guy has learned a lot from his first presidency, he has had 4 years to think about what went wrong and now we're about to experience it.
Like Brexit, you have to let the electorate find out the hard way.
You are in tech? EDIT: Heck even if not, just come over.

Very LGBTQ friendly.

The current gov. reduced the path to citizenship down to 5 years and allows for dual citizenships.

Get a permanent residency earlier, go live and work in the EU.
Who's calling Trump a fascist? For one, John Kelly, the right-wing Marine General, Trump's former chief of staff.

"Project 2025" may be unhinged, but in what sense is it a conspiracy theory? It's right out in the open and produced by one of the most prominent conservative think tanks.
I don't think they do. Your phone cryptographically verifies that the software running on the servers is what it says it is, and you can't pull the keys out of the secure enclave. They also had independent auditors go over the whole thing and publish a report. If the chip is disconnected from the system it will dump its keys and essentially erase all data.
"I've been demonstrably wrong in every single point but I'm still right because I feel like it" is such a good demonstration of what happened this election.

Some people are hurting because there's always some people hurting, and for some reason that means we get the party that wants to reduce social safety nets?!
Stablecoins are much better for payments, no one would use BTC for goods and services with the transaction fee and the confirmation time being so bad.

https://www.coinbase.com/institutional/research-insights/res...

TL;DR from the article : Stablecoins settled $10.8T worth of transactions in 2023 of which $2.3T were related to organic activities including payments and cross-border remittances, among others

Today’s payment giants suffer from major disadvantages including high transaction costs, slower settlement times and limited transparency albeit there are tradeoffs to stablecoins too
My point is that you can, and effectively do, choose principles to live by.

I'm a heavy ReMarkable user, mostly as a note taking device when doing client meetings.

For personal use I use it a lot for annotating philosophy papers and source materials, and the lack of a split screen feature is extremely frustrating.

Writing annotations or commentaries on texts means writing in the margins or switching back and forth between books (often a paper book and the remarkable for writing, or 2 notebooks in the device which is a slow operation).

A split screen mode would have been extremely useful, or lacking that a method for having a page-matched 'fold-out' so I can just associate a full blank page to each source page for my commentary.

I know there's an unofficial hack that adds this, but why ReMarkable doesn't I can't fathom, especially as annotations and such are marketed as primary use cases for the device.

For most of the right, as I hear it: if the trans community left the kids alone and trans women didn't insist on playing sports (especially contact sports) with biological women, they really wouldn't care.
