we've played this game before


In the past, the game was as played with the additional benefit of foreign bondholders and currency reserves slowing the overall velocity of money. The rest of the world has heen quietly blunting the inflationary effects of printing USD.

Most Americans - this administration included - don't know how good they have had it, and are throwing it all away due to avarice.


I tried swapping running with cycling for a few months but honestly as somebody who spends a good portion of my time on my ass, often with suboptimal posture in front of a screen I hate the idea of exercising still sitting on my ass with bad posture.

The most important thing imo is to find a form of cardio you enjoy. It's not worth stressing over the differences between forms of cardio just find something you like and make it a part of your lifestyle.

Reagarding knee injuries, sure intense running with bad form is more likely to get you an overuse injury but those heal quickly, long term studies don't show increased knee/hip risk for runners.

Strength exercises are also very important for runners. Getting all the muscles arounf your hips, knees and ankles stronger significantly reduces the chance and severity of injuries and has a ton of other benefits.


If you are sitting on your ass (as in the normal definition of buttocks) when cycling, you are doing it wrong or you are riding a recumbent.

Typically you sit on the part in front of your hip, which also has its downsides as it is quite a delicate area where pressions on the wrong area could lead to issues.


MTB is the solution here. You can't really sit down when it gets a bit rough.


Why do people get so defensive about obviously flawed processes? This reply reads like a 4chan comment written by a frustrated teenager


Quite the contrary, you don't get to claim that the entire process is flawed while failing to demonstrate even the most basic understanding of it.


see you next year


yes but then you become a "suspicious user" and you have to fill 100 CPATCHAs every day

at this point browser fingerprinting is a feature, not a bug


I second this. I tried to use Tor browser for a day in place of my regular browser. Many websites wouldn't open and the ones that dud asked me to fill in thousand captchas.


Even the unmodified Firefox browser with a few of the privacy settings turned on break a lot of sites.


To be frank, in my book, relative to inadvertently being fingerprinted and tracked wherever I go, I consider being consistently faced with “let’s confirm you’re not a robot” popups and pages to be a minor inconvenience.


Consider that all those CAPTCHAs are fingerprinting your browser anyway, and probably also your biometrics (through your inputs while solving each CAPTCHA).


RETH* is one of the open source implementations of the Ethereum protocol. Around 2% of Ethereum nodes run it today.

Historically, there have been hundreds of blockchians that were basically slightly modified forks of Ethereum clients, operated by a small group of validators that sacrifice decetralization in order to achieve higher throughput. This seems to be a slightly higher effort verson of that.

Steam used to accept BTC payments in 2016 but they didn't want to deal with the probabilistic finality of bitcoin so they quickly removed the btc option. previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30478262


In 2016 this wasn't a solved problem but today it is


How is it fixed today? I'm not in the bitcoin game but doesn't the transaction have to be mined and that takes at least 10 minutes?


The landscape of third party companies who offer transaction insurance has increased. With bitcoin you have the lightning network.


The lightning network is a "solution" to Bitcoin in the same way that buying a new car fixes the old one.


Twitch was the last place I'd expect to find somebody like him. I watched some of his streams after his session with Reckful. I assumed he was a scammer. I was wrong, he's very good at what he does and it shows.

When I first heard of him he had <100 subscribers on youtube and his streams got around 100 concurrent viewers, but the Twitch audience was very receptive to his ideas & the novelty of the topics he was discussing. He quickly managed to built an amazing community on an unlikely platform.


JS <--> WASM function calls are not an issue[1], passing large amounts of data is though.

1. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/calls-between-javascript-a...


Does anyone know if that is also the case on V8?


JS/WASM calls are fast in V8, and still seem to be improved from time to time (e.g. see: https://v8.dev/blog/v8-release-90#webassembly), not sure about any large data optimizations (TBH I'm not sure what this is about though, because usually one would use JS slices into the WASM heap to avoid redundant copying)


That works if the data is already in the Wasm linear memory and you need to access it from JS. If you have strings (or whatever) in JS, you need to copy them into the linear memory for the Wasm module to use.


I'm a tiny bit disappointed that I can't open your website with the lynx web browser :)


As a fan of both the text-based browser and the cryptocurrency, I find the name collision humorous. We'll have to bring up the lack of lynx browser support with the devs :)
