> You aren't the target market for a framework like this.

I don't know about this. But then I am of an age where I consider myself to be a team of programmers separated by time.

There are the younger, less easily tired versions of myself who thought this was a great idea for a career and lived on takeaway curries, there's me, and there are the four or five older versions of myself who will hate me for trying to be clever and not trying to be consistent.

Laravel helps me take on projects that allow me to hand off pieces of work among my team ;-)
I think this is overly narrow: Anaxagoras considered the problem of turning a circle into a square of the same area, and these mathematicians shed new light on that problem. He was probably thinking of compass and straightedge because it was the only language he had for attacking the problem, but it's not he published a paper with the precise definition of the terms and the theorem he tried to prove.

From what I can tell from a cursory search, there is no surviving fragment concerning squares and circles from Anaxagoras himself, and the mention on Wikipedia goes back to a quote from Plutarch:

> There is no place that can take away the happiness of a man, nor yet his virtue or wisdom. Anaxagoras, indeed, wrote on the squaring of the circle while in prison.
Tor incoming traffic is easy to detect and block on purpose. It's not trying to hide or 'blend in' via technical means, it's seeking social legitimacy for privacy-enhanced traffic.
Once people saw the cost of the program, I think it would cause a great deal of outrage. I've done the back-of-the-envelope math here on HN several times, so I don't really care to do it again, but essentially it would dwarf our current budget (which is already spending beyond income).

The cost is enormous. I believe if you taxed everyone whose net worth is over $1b at a 100% rate, you could pay for this program for just under 2 years.

And if you're talking about "everyone gets the same amount", remember that you have to collect it back, so you have the overhead of giving a person $1 just to collect it back again.
"let's make the move garbage from one trash can to the other all day and if they finish early make them move it back"

Perhaps you were going for humor but locally some (mostly religious) high schools have mandatory required volunteer (LOL) graduation requirements, and criminal court "community service" also means work at the same recycling center, so you end up with a weird and probably very unhealthy mixture of ex-cons and teens at the recycling center basically "doing time" moving stuff from one dumpster to another all day. The weirdest part of the whole situation is its perceived as a social good.
I much prefer 95% ads blocked and 2% CPU with Wipr vs 99% ads blocked and laggy browser on uBO
At this point I don't really know how to respond other than, again, everyone else is on the same page here.
> so most just go along with that default choice.

Wait, but in the trolley problem the vast majority (over 90%) of people opt to pull the lever and kill the one person. Almost no one goes with the default option unless you tinker with the parameters (the one person is a loved one or something).
If internet advertising didn't exist then there would be only half a dozen recipes for scrambled eggs to be found, not the thousands there are now.
No kidding, crazy what people do with their freedom.
here's a towel
I love how people will always find a reason to remain cognitively dissonant. At first it was just people doing illicit activity, then it was only a tulip bubble, then it's just that retail investors are playing the greater fool. Not that there's financial professionals advocating for it you say that they just want your business. At what point do you consider you may be wrong? What will you say when banks start holding Bitcoin reserves? What will you say when countries are holding Bitcoin reserves? Serious question, because with the way people on HN are acting, it seems like your heads will remain in the sand for eternity.
> So assuming for a second that the publishing hegemon is destroyed, what will happen next? Will all the up and coming star scientists happily publish on undifferentiated internet platforms where all that matters is science? Some maybe, but my more cynical guess is that a thriving internet status economy would soon emerge that would inhabit the exact same niche that publishers have now. Because the exclusivity of publishers is not the tool they wield against the public or scientists, it's the very commodity they are selling.

That's a very good analysis, I think, but it overlooks that an internet attention economy is a better state.

In the field of machine learning, it has already come to pass. All the top publishing venues (the Journal of Machine Learning Research, the conferences NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ...) are already free of charge and open access for everyone. There are many problems with reviews in those venues (mostly growing pains from the rapidly increasing number of submissions, and problems stemming from the fact that there is 1 single round of review), and indeed the conferences, JMLR and Twitter are now the "attention economy" of the field.

But it has massive positive externalities, namely, you don't need to pay (or have your university pay) for access to the research anymore. The system works as badly (or as well) as it would with the publishers, but without giving them a cut.
I imagine everyone holding bitcoin will wise up and agree to a fork in 2040 to stop the halvings. The people who use bitcoin as a store of value should be willing to pay a bit of inflation to maintain the network. As a bitcoin holder, I really don't want to rely on people transacting on the network to fund its security and existence.
Unions do not rent seek. They provide value to society via higher wages and act as a counterbalance to externalities from capital.

They are indeed not a cure, but the cure to the symptoms we are seeing is nothing short of a total overhaul of the capitalist system, which is both not politically feasible, and requires something like unions to make politically feasible to begin with. That is because by definition such a changé even if it was in the larger interests of society wouldn't be in the interests of capital.
This is a text editor.
They build software far worse than they used to, even if it does take longer to build. Maybe that is why this story got upvoted so much?
Sorry to hear this. Do you have an account where we can donate money?
Why not just use a bank that doesn't do any outside investing and keeps all the money inside the bank?

Then you don't need any "experts".

(To answer my own question: These types of banks don't exist because FDIC insurance makes them unprofitable)
Those are basically WEC rules then.
As you said - not really cost effective. But I had an audiobook recorded by someone I found on a similar service for a lot more than $19 and it was worth every penny. If I was a startup producing howto or advertising videos I would absolutely do this.
That's all true, but that's not what I quoted. RobotRollCall's comment said we can't measure the "speed" of gravity, but in the article linked, we do precisely that.
You're right, he was convicted of obstructing the investigation about how Valerie Plame's identity was leaked... so it's not fair to say that he leaked it himself. He just protected Dick Cheney, who - semantics aside - was likely the actual leaker (in terms of responsibility for the leak and directing that the leak occur).
> None of these are legal justifications. The law isn't even relevant here, since the conduct happened in a theater of war

You keep on repeating "theater of war! theater of war!" like it's some get out of jail free card giving you carte blanche to do whatever you want, for whatever reasons, without consequence. And I suppose, if you're America, it is.

But this is not some WWI battlefield. It's a city filled with millions of ordinary people living ordinary lives, with every right to live those lives in peace. "Theater of war" or not, if you're going to go and shoot up foreign cities filled with innocent people then maybe the burden of proof should be on you a bit that you kill the "right" people.

Everything you say is founded on a presumption in favour of the military. Their comrades were shot at before! Erring on the side of caution (caution for us, of course)! Hey, that could have been a gun! We didn't know there were kids!

Love to hear what all the bloodthirsty war fans would think if those were innocent americans being calmly cut to pieces by some unfeeling foreign gunner. "What's that you say? It's a theater of war? Oh well that's perfectly all right then! Fire away!"
There is no need for him to be melodramatic; all I want is a name.

I'll upvote him for it if he is really that scared of being downvoted. Hell, if he is downvoted to oblivion for giving us a name of somebody killed because of Manning's leaks, I'll say something that will get me downvoted to oblivion as well. If he's hellbanned for giving me a name, I'll nuke my account. Call it a "karma suicide pact".

He won't give us a name because he doesn't have one.
He was between the ages of 19 & 20 when he joined the Army. I think it's quite reasonable to expect basic adult awareness of what organization he was signing up for and to be aware that the Iraq war was far from a clean-cut ethical situation. If he lacked such basic awareness, then that does not say very much for his judgment, does it? As it was, he had been described since high school days as 'very smart, very opinionated, very political' and had taken college classes in history before signing up for the army.

As it was he had a Top Secret clearance before he was ever deployed to Iraq. Now there is no way he got a Top Secret clearance without exhibiting the ability to understand the military context he was headed into. If he had ethical reservations about the conduct of the war then it just might have been a good idea to raise them prior to deployment, no?

I'm not unsympathetic to the guy, but taking his story at face value requires adopting a position of spectacular naivete.
I disagree. The product concept hasn't changed; it's still the same idea that all these boo-birds loved a year or two ago. Maybe they've burned bridges with some early adopters, but the other 99.99% of America will never know about that.
The problem is that you were attacking a straw man and I think that is what you are getting downvoted for.

Yes, indeed, sexism in talks is bad. I stand with you to condemn it. Regardless, the talk could be good technically.

(I didn't downvote you.)
Also, you can't have these solar panels without the power companies.

I think this straying from my main point. All I was trying to say is when possible stick to natural stuff in all other circumstances I'm all for modern medicines.

… deliberate or accidental irony?
If you add up all the charges on breaking into the Capitol, the Speaker's office, the theft, the computer security laws, etc., they could probably get a 100 year sentence, and I hope they prosecute it fully.
> I can remove the Mail app if I want

You can hide the Mail app. The interface to redisplay it is the App Store.

Removing the mail app would require installing a different OS build.
Except what you’re saying is false. Democrats overwhelmingly condemned the riots and violence during the BLM protests. But most protests and protestors were peaceful and they supported those ones.

If everyone is going to knowingly twist facts like your post does, there is no point in even trying to debate.
Everything has a vulnerability that Solarwinds hasn't disclosed. What is the logic in focusing on this extremely unique choice? A plan by a government wants to spearfish developers at every enterprise software company to find 1+ ways in to their clients and should have chosen something universal. Without any apparent data, it seems more likely the suspicion is just speculation because it is less common than email clients, legacy browsers, dev-servers, common libraries, etc.

I.e. because no one else found this intruder the crap software that everyone uses must be safe?
I am not Native American, but perhaps I can answer your questions about USA culture in general. Lots of people know about the genocide in an intellectual sense, although that doesn't affect their politics and they don't appreciate reminders.

Free speech protections weren't obviously relevant to the genocide as it has occurred, although it wouldn't surprise me to learn e.g. that a native counterpart to Frederick Douglass had been silenced unfairly. As for speech in the other direction, the worst things were said (and done) by the "greatest statesmen" [0] so I doubt that corporate speech codes would have been much help. If it isn't too presumptuous of me to observe, it's unlikely that such things would have done much to slow down Hitler or Mussolini either.

Would you take down posts around organising an attempted coup? Where is the line? I'm asking because I see both sides but err on your side but I also know it's a very suboptimal solution.
Deploying tear gas like they did in the Capitol here:

I saw a video yesterday of tear gas being used inside the capitol building but today I was only able to find videos of when it was used outside.
I've said it many times, Australia and New Zealand are both islands, this makes restricting ingress far easier than land borders controlled by many different authorities.

Furthermore, many countries have laws that prohibit house arrest, which is essentially what you are suggesting here.

Finally, unless the entire world did the same, we would not be "covid-free". As soon as one person with covid entered the country post-lockdown, cases would grow. If Australia had actually beaten covid, then they could welcome people back. But they didn't beat it! That isolated themselves from the world and continue to do so. That isn't beating it at all.

You may be right that almost everything is open again, but there are also leaving thousands of their citizens stranded abroad. This is an absurd payoff for a virus that, at worst, kills .5% of people who contract it.

Sometimes problems are better solved legally rather than technically. You could spend all year thinking of a way to prevent this or you could just have a law that states that users must have access to machine readable copies of all the data you collect about them.

To a computer there is very little you can do to distinguish between obfuscated and regular data but to a human/legal system the difference is clear.
Have you tried Bing's image search [1]? It's actually pretty great. Bigger previews, much better similarity navigation, easy access to image link, etc.

Most of these answers make me think FAANG staff are a bit omnipresent on HN nowadays. You know he, standing on Vert's shoulders, invented the flipping WWW right? You know better and are trying to do what about it exactly?? Oh yeah, make money.
there are already a number of screenshot protocols (as TFA explains, slurp and grim can be used for screenshots on sway). the trouble is getting everybody to agree on a single one, or implementing a library to interface with all the protocols, which is the current strategy. https://www.google.com/search?q=wayland+screenshot+protocol

but, IMO, this is a good thing, and the only way it could have worked. if every single conceivable protocol was added to the initial specification, then wayland would never have been released. even if it was, people would complain even more about it being "bloated" and "non modular" and "not following the unix philosophy", whatever that means.
Well sure, but it's not as if framing a random stranger for multiple federal felonies is any better than framing a non-random stranger for them.
Google is already doing this with Edge, too. Google Maps on Edge will give an error message, "Google Maps does not have permission to use your location," no matter how you have your permissions set. I'm very sure there will be other examples. Google very subtly breaks things intentionally on competing browsers.
With the recent advances in brain imaging and particularly interpretation of that data in post-processing, I suspect we're not terribly far off from what we might as well call mind-reading machines.

The right to mental privacy will be a great battle of the 21st century.
I might be thinking of the wrong thing, but the payment gateways will need to know who the payer is, and the service provider doing the payment will need to ensure the payment isn't fraudulent (or be exposed to chargebacks), which means the service provider in the end needs to validate your ID, or someone in the chain will in any case.

I'm not pretending to know every platform out there and every laws, but I think it's fair to say that accomplishing the things GP said is not simple, and that most service provider will need some form of ID somehow. Even ProtonMail will require you to make a payment or provide your phone number if you try to create an account from Tor.
Agreed. Prettier is de facto standard for new projects.

It lets you choose quote character, indentation size, and that basically it.

I've worked in environments where this type of change has been attempted. It's not easy and does run the risk of running VERY awry.
There's a closed formula for computing the nth fibonacci number - however it remains a good example in numeric contexts, a Hello World equivalent.
Ok, fair point. The thing that changes what the little picture does should be closer to the picture. I can agree with that.

No. Threema does not require a phone number (it uses one for the registration verification, but your account is not linked to that number).

For decades now hardware has been designed that can only be fully exploited by sufficiently advanced software. With CPUs this started in a big way when multiple cores became the norm. But the trend exists in completely different areas too, like DNA sequencing machines. Some people argued about this kind of thing many years ago, but it shows no signs of changing.
Was wondering if someone can give a layman's explanation of how CRISPR gene editing works and its potential applications?

These conversations about how "[industry 1] is helping facilitate the the proliferation of [industry 2] and indirectly is part of the [problem || solution]" is deeply disturbing and signals to COMPLETE fragmentation of entire civil societies.

Fill industry 1 with the likes of tech, finance, government, oil.

Fill industry 2 with the likes of CO2 emitters, military, human rights violators, deportation police, surveillance machines.

Proliferations and advancement in harmful tech (nukes) leaks into helpful tech (nuclear medicine). And vice versa. One cannot exist without the other.

But if we start choosing who to help based on some random ideology and random understanding of when an indirect action becomes complicit in an act, we are destined to become unstable in our judgement and motives.

There needs to be a line drawn.

Canada president Trudeau is anti carbon. But supports the proliferation of Canadian oil. And he hears vitriol and accusations of hypocrisy. But being anti carbon doesn't mean you have to hurt supply. It means you only hurt demand.

Thoughts like if you don't like war, then hurt weapons manufacturing, can also create war by causing weak rich countries envied by strong poor nations.

There is more to say and more examples to give but I'd rather ask the more intelligent hn crowd to say them.

While it is true that federalism is a wrong term, but there exists a general idea of independence of different levels of government. I am not sure about US constitutional arrangement, but in country where i live there there is clear and explicit concept that municipal, province and country (executive) governments are independent of each other, not subordinate. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for city to get a subdomain managed by higher-level government entity.

If I had to point to a flaw in pg's argument is that the bay area is running into scaling limits in terms of housing and other things, and no way it could support the 19fold expansion of the programmer population in the bay that pg advocates.

If pg wants to grow his business, he can wait for the west coast democrats and republicans to scale up his town or he can make yco a global brand you may find in Idaho or Nigeria.
