It's expected for Tether to print when the crypto market cap is growing, because most crypto trades in USDT. So you cannot reliably say what is the cause and what is the consequence here. Then, if the price was pumped and the liquidity

This is somewhat false? There were four other bombings, two in western countries (specifically EU->US flights). None of these two were successful in terms of "the plane was downed", but bombs were carried on a plane and explode

Some of them (actually most of them where I live) are rechargeable, they're not refillable and you can't change the atomizer (wick and coil). And the most expensive part of the vape is the tax on nicotine liquid, so there is littl

VRR is necessary to avoid tearing or FPS caps (V-sync) when your hardware cannot stably output FPS count matching the screen refresh rate.

The thing about Macbooks is people tend to compare them with all of the regular laptops, of which 95% are in entirely another market segment. Even worse, some regular laptops can vary from "cheap shit" to "good machine&quot

Hah, AS16509 beats every other AS in bot traffic by a huge margin. I wonder if at least half of it is due to the major crypto exchanges hosted in AWS Tokyo behind Cloudflare.

It's all about hardware support really. AV1 is pretty new (2018), give it some time. E. g. Nvidia supports decoding since 3xxx generation, and encoding only since 4xxx generation. I still vividly remember what a clusterfk was H264 supp

I think mock slide deployment could be made much cheaper than 30k - e. g. high-volume compressors can be used instead of gas canisters, the materials can be cheaper because there is no weight or temperature requirements, etc.

I thought Toyota is doing quite well in emerging markets? However they skipped a lot of EV craziness and just do cheap-and-reliable ICE cars. I also never understood why established brands lobbied for EVs, and not against them. They clearly

I strongly believe it is _the_ next big thing. The easiest way to tell why is that every high schooler or university student is using LLMs (whether it is a good thing or not is irrelevant). These people will go to the job market in a few ye

New user choosing operating system has most likely just bought a new laptop or PC. Especially for laptops, Arch (or anything rolling with latest kernel) _is_ the best choice, because of drivers.

For God's sake, Cloudflare is the last effin company to speak about site blocking. I can only quote myself from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45059003 : > In my opinion, Cloudflare does a lot more censoring t

On the other hand, I've only seen complaint letters from AWS for doing tens of thousands of RPS on rate-limited endpoints for multiple days. Even then, AWS wasn't the initiator of inquiry (it was their customer being polled), and

What kind of content do you serve? 700 RPS is not a big number at all, for sure not enough to qualify as a DoS. I'm not surprised AWS did not take any action.

Wait, but there is an asymmetry. Legitimate user spends at least a dozen seconds on a page, they don't care about 10ms overhead. For a scraper, however, 10ms overhead can easily be 10x the time it spends on a page overall - the scraper

Yes, it's superseded by V* stuff and derivatives (VLess...), and probably by Trojan, but the latter is less popular.

None of the things I listed are "widely used approaches, and well-known, well-established providers" in the parts of the world where it does matter. Yeah, maybe V* and derivatives are random ad-hoc hackery, but they also are the
