>This looks to satisfy all your requirements from your original post:

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately it only looks so.

It satisfies only partly because it's still headache to remember where it is, remember to take it and when something like that sticks out of your machine probability to break it when there are people around is very high and not unusual. Also you can tilt accidentally your laptop and it cat potentially break the port completely.

With all that said the reality now for instance that it is simply not available in the country I am right now unfortunately. I cannot move because of the covid situation and I am limited with what I can order. My MacbookPro has died gracefully (you can read how if you wish: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25809097) I have managed to get M1 machine but now I'll have to deal with adapters that are available around.

Because I do not have sd-card-slot my photography is limited to zero currently until I find adapter that would work. I have additional headache to choose one that works, and they lie about the specs and you never know what you get so this is the reality of all those theories about 'oh you can get a dongle'.

I just wish to add that when you are really mobile and travel in different countries it is Not unusual situation. Even if it's developed country it's not easy to order something in a small town or even in a big town. Usually small towns do not have something you need, you can count on that. Probably you can buy a new Mac probably like I did but it's M1 with 2 ports and some nice adapters will be not available there. Again this is the reality , not the theory where you can access everything you need whenever you need it.

The second item you've mentioned is nice. Thank you again. It can be useful when I'll be able to reach it. Right now all my drives are usb3 to fit MacbookPro I had. This hub is also requires power supply brick as I understand and again it would be simply impossible to get the hub you've mentioned where I am at the moment.

So in my case it will be huge adapter hanging on wire and let us pray it will work as expected.

>Surely you're not suggesting that laptops built in 2021 should have a VGA port?

No, I am not suggesting that. HDMI an micro-sd-card reader do not add any thickness though and are still very useful for flexibility in real world. When I took my previous Mac I thought I will not use HDMI but mobile reality made it so that at some point it was the only way I can use it and extract data from it and the external port allowed me to boot gnu/linux. The M1 Mac on the other hand become not bootable in the first day because of the bug in DiskUtility and I needed 'another Mac' to make it even bootable again so from my perspective I did not upgrade I have downgraded.

>_extreme_ niche use case [...] 99% of people
For me it's not about how many people use something it's about what a portable computer allows you to do and how flexible , productive and creative you can be with that tool. I do not want to go further about what else 99% do not do ... following majority was never too exciting for me.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I have a new (1yr old) Lexus and you’re correct, no touch screen.
If you have distance-maintaining cruise control, you can safely ignore this phenomenon. Also, learn to ignore that little voice in your head that equates being in front of another car with having higher social status.
I don't want to ban you! I'd rather try to persuade you to use the site as intended. It's in your interest to do so, because if HN becomes a flamewar wreck, it won't remain a good place to discover new things, or read interesting articles, or whatever else it's good for.
The Great Firewall of China can be used to "weaponize" any website passing through it. So, it can be used to inject a malicious script on Baidu delivered to non-Chinese IPs (as we see here) or Chinese IPs. It can also be used to inject a malicious script into Google AdSense for Chinese IPs as well as China has control of a digital certificate provider accepted by all major browsers and operating systems. One they have issued SSL certificates that can be used to impersonate Google et al this year.

The bottom line is that, much like the matrix, everything within China is still part of that system and can be weaponized by the Chinese government. So, be sure you never have anything from within Chinese IP address space loaded by your web pages or apps.
> Speculation

You can do that by owning crypto. No need to use it.

> Self-sovereignty

Majority people use centralized exchanges, which regularly control transactions.

> Ease of use/trade/leverage/exchange

Fiat banking is much easier to use than crypto. It's also faster. Now everyone uses 1-tap payments. Crypto transactions are more complicated than that. They also take longer. Also are bad for the environment (not as bad as media portrays, but bad nonetheless)
Author doesn't say he has trouble finding a Haskell job. If I had a Haskell blog that regularly reaches the HN front page, I'd write a "looking for a job" post there as the first thing in my search, not after exhausting all other avenues.
I am convinced that const correctness in C++ is so useless it's actually harmful.

I can recall spending the sum of many hours tracking down various compilation errors due to missing consts. Invariably the problem is miles away from the actual error message (which itself is usually long, cryptic and involving std::allocator).

And without fail, each time the error is either a complete fabrication, presumably invented by the compiler in order to spite me, or a genuine bug that I would have fixed in a great deal less time by actually running the fucking code.

If only const gave warnings, not errors, then we could eat our cake and have it too.
priorsmart - very clever name.
Let's say I have a Facebook account, I will use it to access all sites I use, Facebook deletes my account for a reason(which may be political) and I loose all my info on all these sites.

This sounds like an even greater risk to me.
In a war against North Korea, Seoul would fall quickly and suffer heavy damages either way. It's just simply indefensible, it's way within artillery range. Especially against an enemy that's very well known for its cold disrespect for human life. It's wasting asset and strategist in South Korea and its allies know that very well. I believe (or at least, hope) that South Korea has plans to evacuate Seoul very quickly in case war becomes imminent as they have no chance defending it.

(And it's actually 40 kilometers or 30 miles and not 20, sorry to be pedant, can't help my inner geography geek)
The problem isn't the page width. Just add 10px of left padding to your container div for people who don't keep their browser maximized all the time.
Thanks. You can cut and paste the passwords. Write an app like I did or if you trust others, download one. I like it because it's portable (no secret encryption crap) and easy to recall. Also, if one site is compromised, like gawker, and they happen to crack the password, they won't be able to use it anywhere else and won't know what your secret sentence(s) are.

Edit: One other neat thing about this approach is that you can honestly say that you don't know what the password is (if you are ever asked). You know how to create it, but you have no idea what it is. That may matter in some situations.
That's why noone is taking you seriously, folks. Copy/Pasting .NET and you claim you do not even have the original on your machine - nobody is going to use your crap. How on Earth am I going to trust my business on Mono when you claim that ridiculous shit.
To first order, planes only crash when they're landing or taking off.

Cars crash in pretty much every situation. Fatal incidents are more clumped but no where near as much as planes.

"Dynamic Icons, API to fetch URLs in the background, Better Push Notifications, Wireless Sync" « none of these will happen unless Apple gets their hands on a much longer-lasting yet thinner and cheaper battery. Because unlike Android phones which comes with a removable battery and thus battery drain != a useless brick as long as a replacement battery is at hand, iOS design/feature-set has to be very careful about battery conservation given Apple's hardware design choices.

Having said that I fully expect, Apple, who has been in the business of making software for close to 35 years, which is a full 5 years more than "90% guy" Microsoft, already have these features either on their ToDo list or in prototype form just waiting/working for the battery tech to reach that threshold where they are confident of it holding up when used by the mass market.

In short, I don't expect iOS5 to have most or even all of these features but maybe by the time iOS6 rolls around, battery tech will have reached the point when these features would have become practical. For iOS5, the flagship feature( Steve calls them 'Tent-poles' )will be NFC, and joining this tent-pole on stage will be the usual hardware improvements, Game Center/Ping updates etc, but nothing of the sort that has the potential to 'leech away' the battery.
I think the analogy is flawed. Using limits we can resolve Zeno's arrow paradox. For the situation described here limits cannot solve the problem because it turns out that it is not an accurate model of a circle.
It doesn't seem to be woot.

Not at all, I actually come from a normal upbringing. I mean we always had food on the table, but not much else. There was certainly no family money.

I started a couple of small niche SaaS tools over the years from age 18-23) which helped me amass low 6 figures. I then jumped head first into the affiliate marketing space for a few more years which took me to around $1M net worth.

From there, I just leveraged my money to launch a couple of other businesses in gaps I saw in the market, primarily in the ecommerce space. Now I have a few businesses that I continue to run on a daily basis.

It's very tiring if I'm honest, I'm an exceptionally hard worker which has definitely attributed to my success, however I have an extremely hard time delegating which means I still work around 15 hours average per day (and have zero staff). It's something I'm working on.
Why does that need to take generations? Why can't it be done in one generation, or less?
Not from Signal but the MobileCoin CEO posted this answer yesterday.

.....

>>The UK also has receiver verification. If I try to send to an account and it doesn't match the name I'm sending to, my bank will warn me. How do you stop impersonation?

A: Signal relies on phone numbers for identities. Other apps that integrate MobileCoin may have a higher threshold for identification.

Reads to me like phone numbers are not going away.
I was intrigued that "religion will provide the vision of the future" and also "religion is way of dealing with our fear of death" (I paraphrase). I don't really see how both can be true.

I see religion becoming more marginalised and less relevant as time goes on. The evangelists are going further away from the rest of society, which is becoming less religious. Trump helped, I think, by exposing how irrational the religious right are becoming. Also, any religion is increasingly being associated with right-wing, traditionalist, conservative, reactionary politics. There's no religious voice welcoming fluid gender identity or supporting UBI.

I don't see religion making a comeback any time soon (thank god).

But we do need a replacement for it. Something that gives us meaning. Some use for all those redundant church spaces in our communities - if we're not going to use them for worshipping sky fairies, what are we going to use them for? Because it would be useful to find something that brought the whole community in one place once a week.
With the reasoning being that the Prime Minister didn't have the power to make this gift, because the Constitution doesn't allow the kingdom to be divided.

Seems legit to me. We can't just go around ignoring constitutions for novelty things like this.
I think this is as much an issue with your leadership roles than it is with daily stand ups in general. I worked with teams where stand ups are requested & seen as important by the team. Personally, I see the aim of stand up to inform the team of work in case it is relevant to them & ask for help if needed. How the leads of the team react determines how good a lead they are. Developers should have enough autonomy to feel they are working well & able to properly investigate, problem solve and design solutions, without affecting the overall efficiency of the team.

One of the more difficult aspects of a team lead role is balancing all the different personalities and work preferences in that team. Consider that "toughing it out" might be a desired work practice for some people but for others it's the opposite, it's leaving them struggling for longer than they need/want to be. Stand ups offer a chance to identify those situations, as not every developer will ask for help when they need it. The post stand-up follow up should then considers the individual developer's wishes (e.g. you should be able to ask to tough it out for longer, probably as long as it's not a critical blocker for other work) and that seems to be one of the places your leadership is going wrong.
This is one of the primary reasons I promote using the simplest possible tax and incentive structures. The simpler it is, the easier it is to avoid creating loopholes.

Besides, paying tax should be a much easier process for the small fish.
Honestly, I think it's addiction by design (intentionally, or merely A/B tested into existence, end result is similar). Emotional swings are impactful, even if repeated ones are not very individually memorable, and the endless rollercoaster is one way to keep you looking at the rollercoaster rather than at e.g. boredom elsewhere. Eventually you're habituated, and looking away looks less interesting than this fire that just erupted in you-wouldn't-guess-where / it-could-happen-to-you.
Why not get the best (?) of both worlds with the macro-lisp crate: https://github.com/JunSuzukiJapan/macro-lisp

A small snippet from the project's examples shows minimal boilerplate between Rust and a native-looking Lisp experience:
lisp!(defun factorial ((n i32)) i32
(if (<= n 1)
1
(* n (factorial (- n 1)))));
Single 43" 4K monitor here and I'm not going back to anything smaller in the future. It was a bit of a compromise for me in terms of game performance (I'd have preferred 144hz over 4K really but less than 4K at this size would be poor). For the first time ever I feel like I always have enough screen space.

The big advantage over an ultrawide for me is that I have a lot of vertical space, which is great for code. It's basically 4x 1080p displays in a 2x2 grid.
Interesting, the study definitely goes against my priors re: respiratory pandemic.

I still find it interesting, though, that in practice most experts (doctors, governments) do wear masks and/or encourage their use (some very recent "newcomers" as well - e.g. Switzerland and Sweden, who are only starting mask-wearing recommendations new). Are they denying settled science, or just being pragmatic (masks probably help, so even if it's not proven, doesn't hurt to wear them)?

I think the emphasis on wearing masks is simply because that isn't the norm in the West. Washing hands is the norm (or rather, should be, we've all been hearing it since childhood...).
It’s not a schtick. This woman was apparently sucked into Qanon, a cult that targets soldiers & veterans and apparently went from someone who spent more than a decade respecting a strict chain of command in the air force to breaking into the nation’s capitol.

While climbing through a window that had the glass smashed out she was shot. Shooting an intruder is like the most protected type of self defense there is, so it’s to be expected when breaking into any building, no? So what happened to make her think this wouldn’t get her killed?

That doesn’t make it any less of a tragedy, even more so. Someone that served honorably shouldn’t be left alone to get sucked into all of this.

That said, in the video I can’t hear anyone issue a verbal command such as “Get back or we’ll shoot!” or anything like that. There should have been de-escalation at this point IMO. There were other ways to deal with this aside from shooting her.

(This is a problem with probably every law enforcement agency in the country, a very recent public example is the Breonna Taylor case where police chose one of the most dangerous possible ways to serve a warrant and created a deadly situation where there was none before)
It's harder for US folks to understand just how much of a monopoly WhatsApp has in Europe and the UK.

Pretty much all of our school and local community communication happens via WhatsApp. I'd change to Signal or Telegram in a heartbeat, but the inertia is so great it's not possible.

It pains me to say, but we're getting to the point where companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google need to be treated like utilities or something so that such moves as these can be scrutinised and controlled more effectively as Facebook could pretty much (within current law) introduce whatever policy they like and users would be faced with the option of accepting or being cut off from their local community.

Given the pandemic and the UK lockdown, this is not tolerable.
that'll never happen - WhatsApp is almost WeChat for Europe, it's ubiquitous and the network effect is so strong you'll really struggle to get masses of people to switch away fom it.

99% of people outside of the HN bubble will just look at the dialog, click OK and carry on as normal.
It is a size thing, but it's also a moderation thing. I haven't seen moderation this good anywhere else, no matter the size.
There is a mechanism that works very well and reliably. It involves manually copying an exported backup from the old phone to the new one, and entering a 16 digit (IIRC) passcode. Wheter you consider that easy or not depends on you. For me it was a 5 minute procedure
Disposable employees was a textile-industry invention, back in 1814. The modern fungible employee comes from the invention of the power loom and their large workforces of unskilled laborers.

Disposable companies may be the tech industry's greatest achievement, the notion that if your employer is being an idiot, you can leave it and start your own company. Even that has an old history, though - Francis Cabot Lowell started the industrial revolution in America by going to work for an English textile manufacturer for 2 years.
Thanks for the kind words! Links posted above.
The amount of cognitive dissonance you practice is astounding.
Might allow them to reinvent their "Windows" theme when people start interacting with their environment through some sort of lens. It will act as a 'window' to the world.
But I know you'll choose to believe what best advances your existing prejudice.

I choose to believe what I can prove. You provide nothing of substance. Empty words and air. You work for ABC news and not TC. Ok, great. What does that have to do with Moot?
Part of it is people confusing legal and ethical.

That is very true, time is quite valuable. It appears that for my use case AWS would be at least 5x as expensive though. I won't know for sure until I actually try running some benchmarks. Have you had experience showing AWS to be significantly faster to deploy and administer than Linode, DigitalOcean, etc?

Those things are really the vast majority of programming in a professional setting.
Why does every game engine seem to write their own language? Why not choose an existing one - in this case C# seems like an obvious choice because it's already used in another major game engine and seems to be well liked.

I loved that phrase! I think it is important for designing UIs too.
Those first few years when it was limited to certain edu addressed fueled the hype and growth.
The infrastructure they built is:
1. the concept of ride sharing as it works today. If they disappear tomorrow a follow up company can build a more or less identical service based on that invention.
2. A large digital infrastructure. All those servers and the knowledge required to run it is about as unlikely to just "disappear" as the railway tracks in England.
There's an opt-in nativization feature for blueprints that did translate them to C++, but it was apparently brittle enough to be removed in 5.0
In http://qbix.com , we have implemented passphrases out of the box for all of our apps.

Try signing up there. You will find that the passphrase suggestions are quite nice. To obtain them, I took three random words, searched yahoo news for those words, and for each result, chose 3 contiguous words and presented it as a passphrase suggestion.

In the event that Yahoo is unreachable, our server generates one of 50 million unique phrases from ADJECTIVE NOUN VERB NOUN. I would say this produces greater entropy than if you left people to choose their own passphrases, even if they don't copy our passphrases exactly.
You, a professor... and about 15-20% of anyone who came out of the University of Arizona over a decade or two. :)

I remember writing a java library to do SNOBOL/Icon-style pattern matching in college because I hated the java way so much... every once in a while, I think about doing it again.
The easiest way is to not make a "site" but a collection of files which can be distributed by others. You could possibly include offline-executable content, or if you must have it be online (some kind of transactional thing), make it easy to set up mirrors, especially for people to set up mirrors without your cooperation or awareness.

The hierarchy of resilience:

It's trivial to censor an (average wealth, average risk tolerance) individual -- just harass and prosecute for unrelated things. Everyone is a criminal, once you have enough laws...

It is fairly easy to censor a commercial organization (just cut off their payments and banking...)

It's harder to censor a free site (it can do what everyone is suggesting here; hosting offshore, non-US domain name, etc.)

It is much harder to censor something which can be readily mirrored by others.

It is very hard to censor distribution of a dataset. Even harder if the dataset is very small (sony keys, dvd-css, etc.)

It's almost impossible to censor an idea.
