Normally when someone says "1900" they are referring to 1900 AD. Unless BCE had already been mentioned, which here it had not. And if they were referring to 1900 BCE they normally would specifically say 1900 BCE. That's why.

And furthermore, the parent comment above the one talking about "pre-1900" was talking about modern passports. Why would anyone immediately jump from modern passports to 1900 BCE? That don't make no sense at all. Jumping to 1900 AD however, that does make sense. You see?

Nothing in the comment that we are talking about indicates that "pre-1900" is referring to 1900 BCE. It sounds squarely like it's referring to 1900 AD to me. Which is why people are saying it's ridiculous.

If it was easy to get the required funding, wouldn’t Synfig be in a position to rake in funds and hire people to improve Synfig?

Why people don’t use the Unicode symbol for Roman numeral two?

And the other is a clone of that repo which was reuploaded manually instead of using the “fork” UI buttons of GitHub. Which is fine and all. But better to link the original as the repo anyway.

If I ask it specifically to count how many Show HN posts mention Lisp or Scheme in the title, it says there’s a total of 370 mentioning one or the other of those.

The bigger question is, when they said:

> G Data's research showed that the Bitcoin address linked to SnipVex had received about 9.3 BTC, roughly $100,000

How big was the largest amount stolen?

It could be a few individuals with a lot of money in their unprotected software wallets, or it could be a lot of people with relatively smaller amounts stolen from each of them.

If you only have a couple hundred dollars worth of bitcoin and don’t intend to buy any more of it then it doesn’t make much sense to spend as much on a hardware wallet as those cost. But if you have like $500 of bitcoin then it starts to make more sense. Especially if you plan on buying more of it. And if you have over a $1,000 and are still using a software wallet you should really look into getting a hardware wallet ASAP IMHO.

I asked the chat tool to count how many times each different programming language is mentioned in different “Show HN” post titles.

If the tool is accurate, it seems that the results diverge somewhat from what you are implying.

    language post_count
    Python 3117
    JavaScript 2545
    Go 2178
    Rust 1251
    TypeScript 607
    Java 605
    Ruby 531
    PHP 514
    Swift 433
    Clojure 229
    Elixir 173
    Haskell 142
    Kotlin 128
    Scala 122
    Lua 110
    C++ 101
    Erlang 61
    Dart 45
    Perl 35

When I go to the link, the URL is indicating that it will redirect me to a /hn page after I log in.

I write in my email and get sent a login link. I click the button to complete login. I land on a page that asks me to connect PostgreSQL or another data source.

It’s a super small thing of course, and I bet that when I click the HN submitted link again it will redirect me to the /hn since I am now logged in.

But I thought I’d point this out anyhow. Nitpicking is a tradition in these circles ;)

Edit: Clicked the submission again but it’s asking me to log in rather than seeing I am logged in so another nitpick on that also.

It’s not going to consist of random bytes.

Imagine for example that a high profile celebrity accused of murder has successfully defended himself in court and on that day he tweets:

I have something to reveal, but I won’t be telling you until the year 2135. Sha256 73fa194342af6b6e355e129fafd9b19d2a63589b1e3c6e2b5d94a7ca1b3e25f6

If this happens to be a short sentence related to recent events, don’t you think someone will figure out what he wrote pretty soon?

If you are on a platform that doesn’t support posting attachments you can use IPFS or similar to host the encrypted file.

Make a hash sum of the file.

Publish the hash of the document somewhere. Like on your Mastodon timeline or on Reddit, or on HN, or as an ad in a national printed newspaper.

Make sure the text is pretty long though. If you write something super short someone could guess the hash for it.

Write a short comment along with the hash. Something like:

“My prediction will be revealed on Dec 31 2025. Sha256 a9774a1a6ebf564cc408cfd86b5f2c06c13d830e143989714d958d34f325db13.”

When time comes, publish the document.
