I wasn't trying to be obtuse. I fully acknowledge that greed is one of the forces ripping the society to shreds. However, people act in what they misperceive to be their best interests all the time. If your scenario comes to pass, then it will be flatly impossible to have anything close to a stable society. The rich do not become rich and stay rich in a vacuum. Maybe some of them think they didn't act on a platform or that they don't need society but if things start to fall apart and the safety net goes from frayed to ripped, the situation can go from bad to worse very fast and keep going.

These lobbyists you speak of and those who fund them can be dethroned in the next wave of populism to hit. The next wave might come from the left, might come from the right, or might just hit as a nihilistic spasm.

The order that you describe above is there based on an illusion.

I'm not trying to make some mystical claim. Pull a bill from your wallet. Try to eat it. What's it worth? It's worth money because of a tacit agreement on its value. There's no inherent value in that $5.

Go to the campus of a University. Why is that place University and not the park down the block? Because we've agreed and yes made laws to protect that designation and the professors and students show up at one and not the other but it's not objective reality woven into the fabric of the universe.

There's a lot of assumptions and agreements in almost everything that's part of civilization, including the details of the order that you described above.

That you will always have electricity, water, and enough to eat are also not written in stone either. Nobody who really understood some history, I mean feels it beyond mere abstraction, would say a destabilizing word in public or try to stir anyone else to act against stability. This person would have a broader understanding of their own interests. They would never advocate for authoritarianism as they'd grok Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc., etc.

I am not saying that it's even close to guaranteed that civilization will pull off survival nor do I have any clue how fast we are sliding and how much acceleration is to come and when. Nobody does. But I think it would be foolish for smart people to not consider this with an open mind.

To act in time I think will require some persuasion because if this idea is forced to wait until it can sell itself, then conditions will have deteriorated to the point where even those deep in denial will feel it. Reality can hit hard and fast.

I'm not saying you personally think things are just fine as I can't imagine anyone on HN who is not at least aware of the inevitability of a growing gap between those who need to work to survive and the number of jobs.

Further, I'm sure you're aware there are millions who are not going to be even close to ready to survive through their retirements.

If this all comes together with a malevolent or just clueless demagogue then things could get a whole lot worse, a whole lot faster.

I hope people are watching and learning and can put aside whatever ideology they currently cling to because those ideologies are just hindrances to clear thinking.
I was probably treading over the line into HN no go territory, which isn't right. However I really do think that ignoring the elephant on the room isn't helpful either. How do you balance these two factors? Likely by keeping threads on topic would by my thought...
Right. Horses can beat humans in most running races. Gorillas and chimpanzees can beat humans in wrestling. And yet who's in charge?
Wait. In that case, wouldn't the crime (conspiracy) have taken place in Canada? There should be no extradition, then.

I sometimes wonder how autonomous cars would fare in very rural areas. In the country, there's usually nothing on the road at all. But when there is, it can sometimes be something strange like, as you said, a moose, or a piece of plywood, or a slow driving tractor.

When I was a teenager growing up in the rural Midwest, I drove a small sports car. I always wanted to see if I could fit under one of these things (a crop sprayer) when I came up behind one on the highway:

https://wapellowarbler.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/edge-of-t...

I wonder if this kind of vehicle would even register on some cars' systems, or if autopilot would just charge full speed ahead underneath to my teenage heart's content.
You're not motivated because you did not get what you wanted (leadership position) and you identify yourself as being superior to those whom are in your position (dumb, working on useless things).

Motivate yourself by either pulling up those around you or leave for what you really want to do.

Also when a company is small it's hard for them to make big mistakes because smallness precludes. Also, it's easy to give away awesome stuff to almost-nobody.

And, I think it goes deeper than that and reaches in to social signalling and self-identification. We like to be in on the new thing before everyone knows about it. Once that thing is big, and everyone is using it, and especially if it makes a mistake, then we lay on the criticism and distance ourselves from it.

I know I'm guilty of that. I wonder if this is an intrinsic part of being human or a learned behaviour. I'm leaning toward it being, as you say, only natural.

Whitewashing his reputation for posterity by spending money that has never been rightfully his.
Yes, but that also has the advantage of not tieing you to the phone, and not tieing you to a specific phone. At the very least, if someone wants to make a componentised phone like this, they should make (at least a subset of) the interface electrically compatible to USB C, so you could have a cheap/simple mechnical adapter to use most modules with any USB C capable hardware to widen appeal.

Some sort of standardized form factor for small embeddable hardware with dimensions that makes it feasible for one of the "carriers" could be a phone would be interesting.

In fact, doing it by starting with creating some dev boards with various functionality + the adapter first, and only considering a phone if/when it gets traction could make it viable for someone to bootstrap or do on kickstarter.

The problem was going straight for a phone which has pretty much no advantages applicable to a large enough group of users to be viable until/unless there's a large ecosystem of interesting modules first.
I think Facebook is a considerable exception as it started as an exclusive place for University kids to plan and meet up then changed into the platform it is now where every one and their mom's mom has a facebook account and spends all their time on it. Facebook changed its audience, model of operation, and offerings completely, and also started to throw its weight around when it wanted things. This is a pretty far cry from what it had been and it also signaled the new age of the web.

Yeah people used to love Facebook. But it definitely changed its entire focus with multiple decisions and incidents, not just one or two hiccups.
Start playing music. (This is not a snarky comment, try it)
Yes, though I can't recall any incidents where someone set up traffic signage to intentionally cause an accident (I'm sure it's happened, but I bet it's really uncommon).

Anyway, I'm not suggesting that the car take a remote signal on blind faith, but I still think it might be useful to have some kind of indicator. It can be factored into the other sensor data - "this signaling object does appear to be in close proximity and moving like a cyclist". Just as people don't tend to mess with signage and cause crashes now, I think they're unlikely (on the whole) to do it with these kind of signals. Especially since you'd be in serious trouble if you caused a wreck.
Base R is painful. dplyr isn't.
The back button seems broken so you might want to check on the History API. I understand you need a pure JS redirect for generating the encrypted URL so that would seem like the best way to go. Otherwise you could also do:

- Add a button in the main page that generates the page in-the-spot.

- Add a button in the middle page that generates the page when clicked.

Hello, what web stack and technologies are you using for this web app?
Thanks for the explanation. Looks like its not just E2E encrypted but distributed as well. Very cool work!

However, you shouldn't need a blockchain to make a fully encrypted realtime collaborative editor. Here the blockchain is needed to make OT work properly because OT relies on a global ordering of operations. But algorithmically you can get around that either using CRDTs or modifying OT with a purge() function. (This lets you move between any valid linearisation of history, so you can transform by rewriting your history to look like the remote client before accepting their operation.)

I've been messing around with OT stuff for a few years. Feel free to pick my brain if you have any questions - I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it! (Grab my email from a commit on github)

Will Content Marketing for My Business Make Me Money, and How?
In my opinion,

Complete lack of motivation is the result of mental congestion.

Start emptying your mind! Delete all good and bad memories! Don't worry about the past and don't be afraid of the future.

What you have right now is not what you really want! That's why you are not happy!

Just empty your mind and you'll find what you really want!

And we always have motivation for the things we TRULY want!

I'm not a heavy Facebook user, I login once every few months, but I don't feel like it has changed dramatically in the ~12 years I've been using it. There are more ads today but it's otherwise basically the same product. I haven't closely followed any of the incidents and although there are likely good reasons not to like Facebook, I don't feel like its focus has changed much. Anyways, my intention wasn't to defend FB but just to illustrate how quickly narratives change.
Nice! Thanks!

Yup, in a convenience store can see lots of evidence of the five main food groups -- sugar, fat, caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine! :-) Can see a lot of the first three at fast food restaurants! Or at a donut shop, 24 x 7, can see sugar, caffeine, and fat.

So, right: Late at night, a dozen glazed donuts and a gallon of strong coffee with a lot of sugar and real cream will keep one awake a few more hours!

That case of pig out gives a lot of instant energy that will likely pay for later: Get fat; develop some insulin immunity; raise blood pressure. So, the body pumps out too much insulin; the blood sugar is all burned off; and now the insulin has the blood sugar too low; the person feels weak or sleepy and returns for some more coffee and donuts!

Better to get off that addiction to fat, sugar, and caffeine. Maybe wheat bread is better for this than the usual US white bread.

Thanks for the clear definition, description, and use of fiber.

Gee, for all the insults I've done to my 30' feet of intestines over the years, I just got back the results of a blood test of my stool sample: "Normal". So, apparently so far I've avoided colon cancer! Supposedly the fiber and its actions can help avoid colon cancer.

Oh, my comment was actually meant as a simple clarification. It may have come out a bit harsher than that, I now realize in the clear, cold light of morning.
Those poor tardigrades would be killed by all of the dangerous radiation coming from the phone.

Just kidding, they'd be killed by the dangerous conduction from the phone. The little guys can't handle the rapid heat changes caused by the battery and CPU.
I see this sentiment a lot and it saddens me because it's a) extremely dark and b) generalizes and simplifies the motivations of large groups of people.

Of course the wealthy are going to lobby for lower taxes, only a dumdum in their situation wouldn't. They'll also donate large chunks of their wealth to charity because only the most heartless wouldn't.
Just an accusation at this point.

Hi Lordrminius,

In respect of the first point, while you say the President doesn't have the "last word", there were for example indications of US Customs officials ignoring court orders presumably on the instruction of the white house during the immigration order debacle.
The main thrust of the comments so far are negative, but in my opinion this was a great idea.

Phones are personal devices. Plenty of time is spent on smoothly machined surfaces, wood cases, etc. A little biosphere is a beautiful idea, and likely cost a fraction of the overall project.
What's your opinion of ChainPad's algorithm? Are there any obvious downsides?
Interesting, will keep that in mind, thanks.
The problem with that is that it's not just one or two components that are new iterations when you upgrade your phone - CPU, GPU, display (or, more likely, generation of protective tech on display, at this point), camera, maybe speakers, the antenna(e) could be workable barring something like a 4G->5G iteration if they covered enough to start with...and that's all ignoring the custom-shaped battery, which would get smaller to fit the modular slot.

Plus the one upgradable component that stops having feature-parity often long before the rest - software stack. The number of problems with getting random bugs out would get worse by the number of modular parts, and few Android vendors that I've seen keep phones updated for even 3 years, let alone 6.

It's been the case for a long time that you lose customization when you shrink the form factor, as you start squeezing every component down to its minimal essentials, and because it lets you start making tradeoffs you can only make if you know intimate details of the entire platform.

I would, quite fervently, like for a modular smartphone to work, and to not have to do the equivalent of paying hundreds of dollars every few years when my phone gives up the ghost or is EOL (or both). I just don't see the technology advancing that way until we get way better at miniaturization, such that fitting functionality into the phone form factor is no longer a strong pressure constraint.
Nice... though would be cool to have an integrated preview on the right-side of the screen.
I'd say that aquarium counts as some kind of art project (art product?). Which seems like the thing you'd hire such an agency for, after you've run out of more sensible ideas.
This is resonating because a cool person is saying it instead of me. Preach on my brotha!
My motivation is derived from a massive discontent with my environment. Namely, a lack of digital privacy, a government that I feel has greatly overstepped its boundaries, the fact that I have signed over my life basically in full to Google (email, phone, search engine).

I don't know what would motivate me besides the idea that things could be a lot better than the way they are.
It would be cool if in the future a device can scan (real life scene, blood, piece of chalk) anything and tell you the composition and everything you ask. Think Pokedex and those fictional gadgets in sci-fi movies.

They can withstand temperature ranges from 1 K (−458 °F; −272 °C) (close to absolute zero) to about 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C)

I've been using neo4j for my startup and there are so many benefits I can't list them all. The Cypher language alone is worth using this database.

I don't think I'd ever have the same development experience with any other database.
Not sure, but some gamers are youtubers and they need to process videos. What about having an extra core or two for handling recording and playing live? Those cost serious real time processing.

> made almost entirely just from flour, water, yeast, and salt.

So my "almost entirely" was my qualification or safety valve! I didn't know just how much sugar, dough conditioner, etc.

I did know that the French bread I've had in the US claims loudly that ALL it has is "flour, water, yeast, and salt" so concluded that US white bread doesn't actually need a lot more. This list of 4 for French bread is also elsewhere in this thread.

So, thanks for the corrections on sugar, etc.!
I thought about this more and realized I was wrong. Sponge construction doesn't help in this case. It's too late to edit.
It's possible, though generally Google ranking is more important than traffic. (Many sites use PBNs to impact ranking, but generally this is disclosed)
What about the case the stoplight stops functioning? This happens many times. Recently late at night in Flushing NY crew was working on replacing switches on the stoplight and that caused outage so the Department of Transportation actually have asked the police department to send out officers to help direct traffic. Yeah, good luck with that if we are running self-driving car.
We have to assess what drives our motivation. There could be many factors. Forgetting those factors, may lead to a loss of motivation. Rekindling motivation is just remembering those factors, and then refining our action based on the present situation. Since you say you lost your motivation, that would imply you had possession of it before. But now you're trying to grasp for the previous motivation, when you just have generate it, anew.
Seriously. A red light? That is the most basic and most dangerous thing to ignore.
People have been practicing privately and only occasionally getting checkpoints of public feedback across all kinds of skillsets for centuries. It's silly to act like we don't know how to practice in private.

Yes, you need a good guide, good general principles so that you're not practicing in the wrong direction. And yes, you need occasional "recitals" where you test audience reactions. But 99% of the work involved in developing any skill is just raw, rote repetition that most audiences are not only not interested in, but actively avoid.

Spend some time not only looking for good compensation but also balancing it with a good culture.

Startups are usually early technology adopters, and you may be giving more responsibility and autonomy than in a large company. You might enjoy it more there.

Most interviewers may ask you: "Do you have questions for me?". Ask them: "who are the most valued engineers in your company and why?"

If the most valued engineer is a warm body whose only purpose is to suggest places for lunch to their managers or some fake wine snob continue looking.

Ask HN: What is so great about Bloomberg Terminal?
From what I understand so far, it's just a portal that gives the news. What I don't get is why have a custom monitor, keyboard? I am not sure how is the network connected, is it a VPN. The cost of the product is ridiculous. I do not understand why are people paying for it. Is there a cheaper alternative that does not require specialised hardware? I know Bloomberg is a politician, has he managed to pass some ridiculous law that forces everyone to pay for his product?

P.S.: I do not understand Finance or the wall street world. But I am curious to know about the tech they use and why they are paying a huge amount for it.
