Conversely, maybe some Twitter clone does replace Twitter! Using TikTok as your example, it killed Triller which was (and still is) moderately popular. Even further, Triller was mostly just an iteration of Vine. Vine was definitely the first of line though, I can't think of any earlier mobile-first video sharing social media platforms.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, IME the exchange rate always stays the same, there's just more built-in cost to account for things like trading for XMR and back out. This is generally how it goes for IRL cash as well. It's common for things to be cheaper in XMR as well, given that part of the equation has already been accounted for.

I'm sure it likely sold for enough that the owners can retire early and wealthy. Maybe they'd get more money serving ads, or maybe it's a fad and it dies out in a month or two. I'd rather just take the payout and move onto other personal projects, given that Wordle is pretty much complete.

A lot of this game is yet to be solved- it would be rather unfortunate if one of the most useful words in a top strategy happened to be a slur, meaning that those wishing to "solve" the game would likely have to include said slur in their strategy.

Otherwise, yes, it should rarely be an issue.

This person seems to be stating that grads of these schools are of good quality, not that they are necessarily successful in the workforce.

In my opinion, the biggest upside of CSU's is that they provide a vastly more diverse student body. There's a greater range of financial situations, age groups, and ethnicities. I feel this experience working with folks from a variety of backgrounds is an essential part of a strong candidate.

I'm personally not really on one side or another. "Alternative" paths (e.g. CSU's, community college, no school) seem to create candidates that have had a diverse life experience. Top UC's/private schools create candidates that are regarded as more academic.

That's just my take on it, and I feel that people being on one side or the other is mostly due to which of these stereotypes that person prefers.

This is not really a false dichotomy. The only other option would be to delay/cancel this project to just do the same thing in the same way somewhere else, which isn't really that different of an option.

For your example, it is almost literally impossible to destroy enough SFH's to build skyscraper apartments (where do these people go?) even if these SFH lots were somehow also zoned for massive skyscrapers (which they are certainly not).

I think your example is not necessarily a bad idea either, it's just an impossible idea. Nowadays we just can't simply displace thousands of people and then build structures in areas that aren't zoned for those structures.

It could have something to do with the general idea of large numbers (e.g. 10,000) meaning a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_thousand_years

As a result, even though 万 literally means 10,000, it is possible that 万 is used as more of a general idea for longevity. However, the article using the world "literally" would still be incorrect, I suppose!

Anyways, just figured that might clear up a small part of your question, since the usage of 万 is not necessarily literal in many East Asian languages.

Throughout the last year or so, I've seen multiple people on HN call out polyunsaturated fats, is there a specific reason for that? Google hasn't really turned up anything for me that looked particularly compelling.

Yeah, the USPS cannot open your mail without a warrant, which is a pretty nice assurance to have. That would be pretty bad if it was how you described- all the more reason for us to make sure the USPS stays around :)

Edit: Note, this is a "nice assurance to have" because private shipping companies generally reserve the right to open anything that they are shipping.

Double FYI, the USPS does sell personal data when you do a change-of-address:

Overnighted cash drops to a PO box are fairly reliable. Localbitcoins and its spinoffs used to be a popular option, but it seems they're a shell of their former selves.

It's definitely a lot more difficult nowadays, though.

Yeah I suppose that's the crux of it. I really like that first popup that LibreOffice has when you open it up where you can specify encoding, delimiters, etc.

LibreOffice does a similar amount of clobbering, but in general it notifies you of any would-be clobbering and allows you to abort beforehand, which is really nice. I still avoid exporting via LibreOffice though for very sensitive situations, but it is noticeably better still.

LibreOffice is generally a little less aggressive about formatting, but still has issues similar to Excel.

For me personally, I usually view things in Excel/LO but don't save, and if I need to modify anything I'll use a text editor for one-off changes, or I'll use something like Python with the pandas library for more programmatic changes. Pandas does have issues forcing timestamps to convert sometimes, but that can be easily configured. Otherwise, no problems with this method.

There's definitely a lot of friction if you want to edit .CSV's without your formatting/encoding being altered, unfortunately.

Furthermore, it's unlikely that a company would simply drop X% of employees based on performance.

For example, one could be better than 90% of employees, but if they're highly specialized on a team/product that is getting phased out and they don't have transferable skills to move internally, they may get laid off even if they're not in the bottom % of whoever was getting laid off.

It definitely is an interesting thing to think about, but I agree that there are some holes to the logic.

What makes it "not even comparable"?

The Q2 is good, and certainly a better value, but I'm not sure I'd say "not even comparable".

To be fair though, Valve does make the best consumer VR headset available (Valve Index).

Hiya, sorry for a little bit of a late response!

I think there are a couple fundamental misunderstandings here regarding cash. Answering this question may fix that a little bit:

I’d be hard pressed to acquire Bitcoin in a way that didn’t associate the wallet with my identity (if you have methods, please share!)

If one purchases BTC on Coinbase, trades it for XMR, and then trades the XMR for BTC back to a separate BTC wallet, it is currently unfeasible to determine that the final BTC is linked to the initial BTC. Also, cash is not completely private- bills have serial numbers that are tracked in a similar way as to how one might track Bitcoin (unless you're dealing solely in coins). BTC and XMR are both able to be cashed out fairly easily as well. They could be legally sold, given that they're functionally untraceable. You can also fairly easily coordinate cash overnighted to a PO box set up with a fake identity.

Re: Private ledger cryptocurrencies

With Monero (for example), the sender, receiver, and transaction amount are all private. The quality of Monero's privacy is up for debate, but I see no reason why explicitly tracked cash bills are more secure than a private ledger cryptocurrency.

In conclusion, within the initial context of, "When I’m doing crime, I strongly prefer there to be no record of the transaction", I don't believe that there is an opsec-based reason for you to choose cash over cryptocurrencies. There is always going to be a risk when committing crimes- that is unavoidable. Maybe this is a big point for dealing in gold, haha?

This just isn't correct. Public ledger cryptocurrencies are able to be digitally transferred without any form of personal identification, unlike almost any other form of payment. Just because the ledger is public does not mean that one's identity is public, merely the addresses involved in the transaction are public. If there is nothing tying one's identity to an address or transaction, then the transaction being public is meaningless.

Further, this point is completely nullified by the fact that there are private ledger cryptocurrencies (e.g. Monero). Widely available public cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are useful for crime because they're (relatively) easily understandable, usable, and purchasable by laypeople. This results in a process that goes as such:

Customer wants illicit good

Customer goes on coin brokerage and buys Bitcoin

Customer sends Bitcoin to illicit goods dealer in exchange for goods/services

Dealer exchanges Bitcoin for Monero

Dealer now has "clean" currency that could be used for anonymous cash drops, speculation, or even withdrawal from a public marketplace.

There are at least hundreds of people operating in the many millions of revenue using this model (with some additional safeguards) that have been successful for years and years. You are correct in saying that you are staking your freedom on the safety of something such as Monero, although you are free to analyze its safety and determine whether or not it is suitable for your threat model.

That's true! My bad. Nonetheless, I think financial crimes really do not deserve extradition, especially for a deranged geriatric. He would have likely came to the US again at some point, I have no idea why this was necessary.

IMO extradition over unpaid taxes is kind of severe. I agree that we should all pay our taxes, but why not just hold him at the gate whenever he happens to fly in the US? Is this really something that requires extradition?

If you don't exhibit any symptoms and your lab tests are fine, couldn't you just ignore basically 100% of this advice? I feel like some of these things are rather drastic changes (e.g. canola oil, carbs in general) that would be better left for consultation with a medical professional.

Interesting, I inadvertently own both a Corsair case and RAM, so I might be able to make something neat happen. Thanks for the info!

Ha! That's such a fantastic idea. I always keep my lights either off, or on white because I kind of dislike RGB lighting. I might have to look into this, did you use any specific software for this?

audible input to pick up the propellers

Does not really work that well, as far as I've seen. One is probably best off using an SDR to pick up the communications between the drone and the remote. It's a rather inexpensive solution, as well.

Microdoppler is promising for this as well, but that is likely astronomically out of the range of purchasing power for the average person.

If you've got the budget for it, the company I work for may be of use: https://www.whitefoxdefense.com/

I'm not sure if I would recommend jammers or kinetic weapons, haha.
