Norway looks after its own countryside and environment. But it imports lots of stuff meaning it effectively has a pretty large footprint elsewhere. Also while Norway looks clean, that doesn't mean it's not affecting the environm

I'm not sure I see the same point as others. But the way I imagine it would work is that you buy art from the artist and the artist confirms (on the blockchain) that you bought it from them, thereby supporting them. So (a) you "ow

Huh. I did not see this coming but I think this actually kind of makes sense. I think many people see being a "patron of the arts" as something very high status, and having your ownership encoded publicly seems much more status-en

I feel like the general tendency on HN (and my personal feeling about the subject) is one of interest in the tech and applications, but a feeling that the hype is bigger than the truth. The ideas that Ethereum is innovative, that there are

You say "it definitely didn't just get cheaper to mine", which sounds obviously true, but in a way I'm not sure it is. If the price of gold decreases by $200/oz, that probably makes a bunch of mines unprofitable, le

For many of the sibling comments discussing before/after tax: part of the confusion arises here because many European countries essentially have two steps of taxation. I work for an American organization as a Dutch person and have had

I think if you run a container which in turn runs docker in a way that it can modify "sibling" containers on the host, it needs to be privileged. This can be practical for things like CI/CD, as you can use a docker container

Honestly Ethereum tech does get me quite interested. The idea of being able to create custom ledgers with tokens on the chain for bookkeeping that's maintained by an independent third party seems useful, as does the idea of smart contr

This is one part that I feel doesn't get talked about enough. A future where people move to bitcoin does extremely weird things to wealth distribution, where wealth is basically a function of the point in time of a person's switch

I started with SICP to understand Lisp conceptually (it also taught me a lot about abstraction). Then I worked through Practical Common Lisp to learn the ecosystem a bit better and programmed some tools for my own tasks. Finally I worked th

Not sure why you’re particularly worried about lesser known universities? These issues seem to have more to do with the state of science and the review process than the prestige/fame of any particular university. I’m pretty worried abo

This was fantastic - thanks for the recommendation. I had seen (and liked) some of his other documentaries but not heard of this series before.

Exactly the same thing happened to me! I only used to play games like civilization, XCOM etc and had zero interest in shooters. Now my job includes management and got a lot more stressful and I also got into FPS for the first time ever (Hal

Any justice system also has a variety of different judges. Of course in an ideal world there would be perfect consistency, but imperfect consistency would still be a lot better than just letting an algorithm decide. Of course they want some

Is this in any way related to Software Foundations Volume 2: Programming Language Foundations [0] (in Coq)? The table of contents looks quite different but the choice of name suggest some commonality. [0] https://softwarefoundati

Facebook has money, and automated filtering of content (rather than manually scanning everything) can make it scalable. Given their monopoly it should be possible to hold them accountable / there should be transparency.

I was actually not aware of that, that makes a big difference. Is that also true for (very) dark skies? Edit: this article does not make it sound like the problem is solved, is it wrong? https://earthsky.org/human-world&#x2F

This part really bothers me. The connectivity benefits are clear but there is not going to be any place on earth (well, maybe the poles?) anymore where you can see a night sky with no noticeable satellites or airplanes. I really think that’

Not sure why this is downvoted. I have a friend whose primary reason for mining was that he shared his electricity bill with the restaurant downstairs so it was very profitable for him.

I use Paper and have to say I quite like it - I started using it at my current job where it seemed common and hadn’t heard of it before. The main thing I like it for is quickly putting together group TODOs - you can create checkboxes with [

Every single successful country in the world also uses taxation and regulation to guide money flows. Lots of possibilities for realigning priorities there.

From a comment by raggi below: The goal appears to be to design an architecture that supports in-place updates of most components due to them having tightly constrained state management and inter-component dependencies. Maybe that explain

Judgements about Parler aside, I find it very worrying that Amazon has this kind of power. Imagine Parler depends on AWS Lambda or is locked in some other way - it’s a death sentence (even if they don’t, this is extremely damaging). This k

Got it - I thought that was yesterday and was confused but it’s probably a time zone thing (am in Europe). Still isn’t that separate from 230? Going by the article this law does not seem to be as much about moderation as it is about account

That may be true but there is definitely a difference between the way people talked about it earlier ("later we will all be paying with bitcoin") to how it is now ("it's a store of value and maybe there is potential for

Out of curiosity, where do you work? I'm in the process of negotiating a similar setup with my employer, at my previous organization I worked 60% and also felt very happy with that. It seems to be hard to arrange unless an employer alr

I'm also surprised by this, and I'm surprised by the fact that the focus seems to be on selling. It's not at all clear to me how all the buyers find what's being sold (maybe I'm missing an alternate landing page for
