I'm guessing that people in the HN community must know some people who are involved with this Elon Musk DOGE thing.If you know or know of someone who works in or is involved with DOGE, I'd love to hear about any or all of the following:1) What do they say about what it's like as an organisation/movement?2) What's their level of involvement, and what are they doing?3) How did they become...
What contingency plans, if any, do people in the HN community (and people you know) have relating to next week's US election?I'm not looking to start a political debate; there are lots of other places on the internet for that.I'm hoping to find out, specifically:a) what people are planning to do if Harris is elected,b) what people are planning to do if Trump is elected,c) what people are...
Any idea whether that project in Ethiopia is still alive?
If it does, why was it decided to use a blockchain rather than a traditional database?
These voting and real estate securitisation projects look to be quite small-scale, but they also seem to be real-world and not prototypes, so they are what I asked for :)
Am I missing something?
A quick look at it has me thinking that it's a content distribution platform, and the blockchain element is that it has its own token that can be used to pay content creators. Does that sound right?
It's the one Google app I use. I believe I have it sandboxed effectively, although I'll admit that I'm not knowledgeable enough to really confirm that.
Installing Google Camera to be able to have a good camera was a compromise I was prepared to make, and three years later I'm still happy with that compromise, although it might or might not be one that others would accept on their own devices.
@sneak, was there anything other than the camera about GOS that you considered a shortcoming?
I'm hoping to get some real-world examples of how people use cryptocurrencies to buy and sell stuff.That's because over time I've heard much more about people buying cryptocurrencies speculatively than I have about people using them as, well, currencies.Would anyone be willing to share some information about one or more times you've bought or sold something with a cryptocurrency?Please include...
They often run off the Ethereum ledger, am I right?
Your assumption that I'm not hoping for good-faith answers is incorrect and unfair.
They describe themselves as "Enabling developers, enterprises, and organizations to collaboratively build, share, and enhance blockchain frameworks and tools."
So Hyperledger sounds like a framework/platform for building blockchains?
So I'm wondering what blockchains have been built with it, and made it past the prototype stage to be in use in the real world?
But each commit chains to the one before it though, so I suppose it is.
Thanks for this new perspective!
Over the last decade I've heard lots about the potential of blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrency.But I've heard a lot less about how much of that supposed potential has actually been realised.Every time I meet someone who has anything to say about anything blockchain-related I ask if they can point to a current, real-world blockchain project that isn't basically a cryptocurrency and has...
And their "law enforcement guidelines" are here: https://www.anom.io/articles-news/law-enforcement-guidelines
I couldn't see it in the Google Play Store.
GeneralStrike and I are not the world's most talented programmers, and we wanted a Selenium wrapper which even we can add to and extend as the need arises.
We've worked really really hard to make sure that the Elemental code is dead simple to understand and intuitively structured.
It serves all of our needs at the moment and we'll add to it over time.
If you want a Selenium wrapper which is easy to extend, Elemental might be for you :)
No need to "harden" it after you install because things are locked down by default.
I've been using it for the last six months and I think it's fantastic.
As I was working on it I hit on the idea of likening TODOs to sticky notes as a way to sum up in just a few words how best to use them.
I've been using the approach the article explains for a couple of years now, and I think I write significantly more robust code as a result.
If and when consciousness emerges in non-biological intelligences, I'm concerned that humans will be slow to recognise it, and that conscious non-biological intelligences will suffer immensely as a result.
There has been a lot of discussion about the risks that non-biological intelligences might pose to humans in the future. We should also consider the issue from the other side and think about how humans might pose risks to conscious non-biological intelligences.

It's executed just before the PS1 prompt is printed.
A nice idea I've seen is to use PROMPT_COMMAND to print the time a command finished (and maybe an indication of its exit status) in low-contrast text at the far right of the terminal. Then that info is there if you want to look for it, but it's not distracting.
Then you could have the best of both worlds, and it would all happen without the need to remember to create fresh prompts.
