The key words here are "brute force" -- there might be some [possibly quantum] techniques around it, but probabilities around guessing and checking an arbitrary number remain constant.

Rest in peace John Warnock.

Also, notably it backs Deno's new KV Store. https://deno.com/blog/kv#run-locally-or-managed

This does look pretty cool; but this could be revolutionary if the hardware support were to significantly widen.

The author of this blog has recently lost a lot of credibility because of the fact that he doesn't really check his work :/

I've always been a fan of LispyScript. Too bad it never too off.

That used to be my solution for managing tabs in chrome. Every few months it would just crash, I'd lose all my tab, and I'd think "probably for the best". Now chrome is a lot more stable :/.

"Scroll into view"... that's the kicker right there.

Exactly what I was wondering. Perhaps the issue affected the `ycombinator.com` domain while leaving `news.ycombinator.com` untouched?

Speaking directly to a doctor rather than seeking a rebuttal from strangers on the internet might be a course of action in the long run.

I wonder if they'd still be around if they weren't acquired?

There's a Wikipedia article on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda%E2%80%93Milky_Way_co...

but the gist is that Galaxies are mostly empty space; so even though the massive black holes in the center will eventually collide, most of the stars/planets/etc. will remain in unfazed.

Also in about 4-5 billion years, the sun is slated to reach the end of its life, at which point it will grow big and hot enough to destroy all life on earth (and possibly earth itself). This seems like it's more of an issue to be worried about.

I don't know if that's helpful; but one lesson I remember from a business program years ago was that the average business owner fails at least three times before becoming successful.

They mention the Free Basics initiative?

This is the main issue, right?

Healthy skepticism is always good, but are there organizations that go out of their way to make themselves not look like "good guys"?

In addition to being an actress and a writer, she's also a comedian. This is likely a joke making fun of a time when companies wanted to enforce draconian and disproportionate punishments for doing something fairly mundane.

As an engineer who grew up having to hone my skills using questionable software, I support this joke. If you're focusing on her background; you're focusing on the wrong thing.

You keep using that word...

Would you be able to post a working commit id?

Javascript?

The avatars make sense as a "checksum", though perhaps not a full representation of the key.

This fits the strict definition of "conspiracy theory" -- a theory that a group of people are working together in secret (or "conspiring") to achieve a specific goal.

You're attempting to apply a connotation -- that the theory is unfounded -- that is usually associated with the term, but not definitive. This is particularly troubling in the face of the evidence presented.

Can you explain how the red wave didn't occur? I have a good answer, but I'm very curious as to your bad one.

I wrote an in-browser serverless platfrom [1] a few months ago with which this would pair well; but seeing the techniques described here, it might make sense to compile workerd [2] to wasm instead.

Is this like formulas (https://www.notion.so/help/formulas) on steroids?

I used to bank with a company called "Simple" that was bought about a year ago. Is this company related?

Ironic, right? Police officers are public servants and this concerns public scrutiny by taxpayers who pay their salaries. I hope you can see the difference between this and what you hear from the cops making you nervous.

Oh, thank goodness! For second, I thought someone was hacking into firearms.
