Ask before assuming.

Age adjusted means taking each generation when they were the same age, how wealthy were they? A Boomer today is wealthier than a Millenial because they've had more time to accumulate. But when a Boomer was Millenial-aged, she had on average less wealth than a Millenial today.

Donald and Melania Trump recently launched crypto coins whose only utility is that buying them is effectively a donation to the token’s creators.

This allows foreign entities to give money anonymously to the president and his family, yet with a convenient proof-of-donation side channel (you can just sign a message with the same private key that bought the coins).

It’s a novel way to collect billions of dollars in bribes globally. And the president is both immune to prosecution and directly controls the offices that are supposed to enforce laws against this, so there’s no risk.
Houses are not durable goods. Their value should go down as they get older (this is in fact how housing is valued in Japan for example).

And yes lending per se is not the problem, the problem is using lending to prop up this ponzi scheme that has artificially inflated prices due to constricted supply and then selling it to the citizens as a tool to "create wealth".
I prefer to think of it as “test before commit” or “test before push”.

> You're right–I didn't think

Exactly
The common issue I notice amongst companies that fail to admit fault is that they are _public_. Admitting fault means a poor market signal. Poor market signal means leadership perceived as inept and “failing to deliver shareholder value”.

Of course this isn’t unique to public companies. Have seen private companies do the same for less to avoid embarrassment or perhaps they think it would harm their IPO
Yup, same applies to HackerOne. Absolutely horrible for any responsible disclosure. Should be entirely boycotted for being so garbage.

Just dump the vuln to PasteBin and leave it at that, it's way more responsible than the endless ghosting and gaslighting those platforms enable.

> if what you care about is having your money well spend and getting to Mars as cheaply as possible, he's exactly who you're looking for.

I do find impressive that SpaceX engineers figured out reusable rockets and now we can send things more cheaply out to orbit. But in all seriousness, should we care about getting to Mars cheaply? Or do people care because Musk came along to convince them (and the US government) to invest in this venture of his?
I'd rather a Q&A site have a specific and correct A for every specific Q, no matter how ridiculous some user thinks the Q is. If I was open to re-thinking my design I would have asked something like "Please help me re-think my firewall rules..."
That's great news! Seriously, kudos to you for taking such feedback so constructively. I do really think this could be a great path for you. Particularly once the core product is giong, you could look into add SSO, RBAC, and other enterprise-y management features and have a legit open product that makes money selling managed/hosted services to corps. This is niche enough yet common enough that I could see it being very attractive to people building higher level products!

Let me know if I can be of help. I've got quite a bit of devops/infra experience especially containers and kubernetes, as well as mostly backend dev (though enough frontend to be considered "full stack" by many, but IMHO I'm not great at frontend). Very happy to help consult!

> they never asked to follow presidential account – and are unable to stop

Any "bug" where users can be permanently force-linked to another account is sufficiently weird that I want them to share some post-mortem details.

P.S.: While I can imagine an innocent simple bug as the root-cause, in order to get from there to these symptoms implies code in the middle which sounds pretty nefarious. I mean, why would they need a feature that forces users en-masse to follow arbitrary accounts with no ability to un-follow? Why would this co-occur with another "bug" where a bunch of liberal hash-tags stopped working properly?
> The brain has infinite potentials

No, it doesn't. The brain has a finite number of possible states to be in. It's an absurdly large amount of states, but it is finite. And, out of those absurd but finite number of possible states, only a tiny fraction correspond to possible states potentially reachable by a functioning brain. The rest of them are noise.
I hope this serves a cautionary tale to the left. If you think it's righteous to block or cancel someone who offends you on your moral or political ground, someday someone in power can do the same to you. That's why I'm all for free speech, even when some speech may offends someone. Well, I got downvoted every time when I say this, so it really shows what the left are.

This committee doesn’t make regulations they make expert suggestions.

This is way off the original topic of course…but you can do a quick search of the federal register they you can see the agenda of meetings and such. A recent one reviewed structural failures that led to boats sinking.

Fields learn as new things happen. There’s a reason aerospace industries talk about rules having body counts. Freezing regulations rarely makes work easier or faster, it just makes knowledge sharing worse.

There this large assumption across HN that if one doesn’t understand something l, that must meant it doesn’t make sense. It’s a bad way to operate in the world…independently of ideology…lack of understanding is not unique insight.
Having a deal with one platform doesn't automatically mean you can't post on another. If Twitter/Reddit are afraid enough of Bluesky that they are writing exclusivity into their contracts, I think that's something to see.

I'd love to know why they needed a custom contract in the first place. My company doesn't have a "deal" with Twitter but we still post there.
The charges, sure. The ethical and moral implications, no.

Ok, nerd sniped. I can't likely get this fixed because I don't think I have any FB contacts for outbound mail, but I want to see a pcap and have a look at the TLS negotiation, if you provide the server hostname so I can run more starttls trials, that would also be neat. email in my profile.

I can see how a little centralization at the right time can align teams. Something akin to an air traffic controller or mediator.
Socrates probably would have annoyed me too.

I’m terrible at picking words. Can’t stand the popular notion of “debate,” internet or in person; so much uncharitable interpretation, obtuseness and deflection, and being held to a standard of angelic impeccable speech when trying to express something.

Intellectual consistency can be vastly overrated. I don’t pretend to have answers, I still have convictions that can’t be proven. I get by to a fair extent on vibes and faith—and the faith that if I continue re-examining myself, I might hope to approach truth, and might be a better person.
I get your perspective and I will admit there are surely cases like that - I still wouldn't say it's a vast majority.

Though that raises a question. For example if you were a LGBT person in Deep South and abused over that, who is to blame? Every individual who did that (unfortunately, in the name of religion), or the Church culture who allowed for that to be norm?

And anger over church. I'm Polish, and I'm bi. The most well-known bishops were politically hand-in-hand with the previous ruling party. I would hear in public state media how I'm a part of "rainbow disease" that's infecting the country. Church would often buy land for 1 (!)% of the price.
At which point can I say that it wasn't just a few bad apples, but the whole structure who allowed for things to be that way?
Funny enough, my late father was a veterinarian and we had a pigeon that we raised from a chick (we weren't sure what this thoroughly ugly bird was and it turned out it was a pigeon). It was very tame and lived in a hutch on the back porch, and would watch for us to come back from the electric pole out the front. Unfortunately its knowledge of cats was limited to our extremely lazy ones and one day it disappeared; we suspect it got eaten.
This. Also, mudi can do everything from act as a WAN, input to a LAN and repeat, connect to a wifi and repeat, and use a SIM for its WAN. Phone hotspot only allows you to take the cell connection and repeat it to other devices via Wifi. It can't repeat a wifi or take a hard wire. Plus no advanced router/switch settings, it just says "use my cell connection and give it to anyone connected to me via wifi"
The only people that I know do this are "Beg Bounty" "Security Researchers" that are, essentially, attempting to extort people.

Even if it would be legally possible (I don't think you can force your 'services' on an unwilling entity and then force them to pay), it would be absolutely awful optics.
The answer is that what they want isn't ideologically consistent.

They want him to be hard on criminals who do things they don't like. The biggest drug dealers alive are the Sacklers or maybe McKinsey, and they're not in scope either.

Progressives aren't consistent either. No one is. For example, Dems keep screaming about being a country of laws when referring to GOP antics, but want to ignore certain immigration, anti-abortion, and drug laws (in some cases by just refusing to enforce them).

Unfortunately what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as they say.
20 years ago is when the bomb probably could have been diffused, but I think the recovery out of the GFC put it on the back burner and then it was too late.

Housing should have been getting built like crazy in places like CA so that those people thinking of selling had a reason to sell. By not building houses property values keep booming, and even if you plan to sell and move somewhere it's easy to endlessly delay that decision when you're getting rich as hell.
If a given retailer gets the same number off your card each time you do contactless, then that retailer /could/ track you via that number.

If all retailers get the same number, then they can each track you, and correlate your purchases between themselves.

Note, there just needs to be /some/ constant number from whatever comes through via contactless, the number does not have to be the magic numbers that post the sale to the card.

I think this pardon just reflects Trump's transactional politics. Ulbricht has sympathizers in high places now because crypto is all over this administration.

In the long run letting political influence trump (no pun intended) the criminal justice system is a very bad thing.

By world standards our criminal justice system is a strength of the country. A pity if we lose that.
The studies I am familiar with focus on the lowest income quintiles, where inheritance wealth transfer is less of a consideration. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if wealth transfer favored immigrants as well when families are controlled and matched for comparison.

- Someone with a fantastic network. Better hope you've got friends in high places or family with connections.

With half a trillion dollars you can also open a lot of universities. Increased supply would lower prices for everyone. One could even open public universities and offer education at very reduced or no tuition.
> not all students get the benefit, some already paid off their debts or a large part of it.

I'm one of the people who paid off a large portion of debt and probably don't need this assistance. However, this argument is so offensive. People were encouraged to take out debt for a number of reasons, and by a number of institutions, without first being educated about the implications of that. This argument states that we shouldn't help people because other people didn't have help. Following this logic, we shouldn't seek to help anyone ever, unless everyone else has also received the exact same help.

- slaves shouldn't be freed because other slaves weren't freed
- we shouldn't give food to the starving, because those not starving aren't getting free food
- we shouldn't care about others because they don't care about me

These arguments are all the greedy option in game theory, and all contribute to the worst outcomes across the board, except for those who can scam others in this system.

The right way to think about programs that help others is to consider cooperating - some people don't get the maximum possible, but they do get some! And when the game is played over and over, all parties get the maximum benefit possible.

In the case of student debt, paying it off and fixing the broken system, by allowing bankruptcy or some other fix, would benefit far more people than it would hurt; it would also benefit some people who paid their loans off completely: parents of children who can't pay off their loans now.

In the end the argument that some already paid off their debts is inherently a selfish argument in the style of "I don't want them to get help because I didn't get help." Society would be better if we didn't think in such greedy terms.

All that said - there are real concerns about debt repayment. The point about emboldening universities to ask for higher tuition highlights the underlying issue with the student loan system. Why bring up the most selfish possible argument when there are valid, useful arguments for your position?

I disagree that it was pandering to the LGBTQ lobby.

I agree Assange should not have been pursued at all.

You can't directly compare the two situations. Manning was a US citizen, serving a sentence in the US. During Obama's term, Assange was not yet accused of any crime in the US, so there was no presidential pardon to be had, though Obama could have dropped the extradition request.

Biden did eventually reach a deal with Assange that allowed him to count time served -- essentially the same as commuting a sentence, so along the lines of what Manning got -- and return to Australia.

So in the end, Assange and Manning were both freed after serving time.
True. This is what I used to do, but every country does this their SIM setup slightly different:

1. Do I need to show a passport yes/no?

2. Who sells the sim? Do I need to sit in a queue to purchase one? How do I top up?

3. Who is the best telco provider in the region I'm in?

4. etc etc

I'd prefer eSIM all day for that reason. Also, yes I can load up as many local/region eSIMs I want in case I need more, but honestly 20GB is plenty for a full year.

There are two aspects to consider. They are can a VGA->HDMI adapter support 400 pixels wide, and can it support 240 lines.

VGA has no pixel clock. A line is a set of continuous waveforms for R, G, and B. This means that there is no problem with a mis-matched horizontal resolution, except that the edges may be ugly.

If a VGA->HDMI convert supports 240 lines is a bigger question, and the answer is less certain. Some might not support it. Vintage VGA cards could be convinced to do all sort of weird line rates, much stranger than 240, so a good VGA->HDMI adapter should support it happily.
And yet the Ross Ulbricht case was a huge injustice. Biden should have done it.

Nah, not really. I sincerely doubt that Facebook admitting "yeah, our outgoing mail servers did TLS cert verification improperly in some cases", or the Dutch National Railways saying "yeah, we make renting bikes easy, maybe too easy" would affect their valuation.

This is silly whataboutism. They have plenty of evidence, including PST/PDT timestamps and proof he logged out of other personal accounts when he logged into that account, that suggested it was him. Despite his claims, they watched him extensively and found no indication that anyone else was posing as DPR.

Yeah, it's pretty depressing. It also adds another layer of difficulty to stopping your own doom scrolling/excessive internet usage - with so many people ignoring reality in favor of whatever the algorithm serves them up on their phone, there are far fewer chances to socialize in real life, social skills atrophy, and the cycle continues. It seems like it takes even more concerted effort than ever before just to have a real social life.
You misread the original comment I’m afraid. It doesn’t say that the company folded after 3 weeks due to a lack of org structure. It says that a structureless group caused the fall of a public company in 3 weeks of working on achieving that goal. Presumably the company had a structure.
