Although I doubt we'd come to any agreement (I don't subscribe to liberalism nor the same ideas of contextual freedom you do), I'm curious: what would you say about the freedom to sell oneself into slavery? Is there such thing as "voluntary servitude" to you?

I think a more nuanced view is required: how do these freedoms arise, what makes one person work for another, is the subjecitvist-individualist philosophy the end of liberal politics, how do desires form and conatus aligns under modern capitalism, and does the pursuit of happiness entail the requirement for the desire to employ others for a goal that they don't have an interest in (in the Spinozist sense of desire), what is the role of money (or money-capital) (and its pursuit) in the desires, and what role does the education system play in nurturing such desires? All these are questions of interest, and I don't think they can be whisked away with a sentence accusing the law of "infringing freedom". There are much greater injustices with regard to our freedom right in front of us in this mode of economic organisation.

Show HN: DevFlip: Marketplace for Video Game Developers
Hey HN,

We're trying to build the go-to marketplace for game devs to buy and sell video game assets. Right now when you try to buy assets online, they're usually isolated by engine (Unity Asset Store, UE marketplace) or on various creative marketplaces on the web (CGTrader, TurboSquid, Envato). Our idea is to consolidate everything for game dev under one roof. As for how we make money, we take 30% of revenue from the sales made on our site.

I'd be super grateful if any game devs on HN were to make an account and provide some feedback. The site is pretty new at the moment, so I apologize in advance for any bugs that you might run into.

What do you mean? Redhat has FIPS mode. Openssl has FIPS object module. You can create a secrets storage product out of those blocks. Do you mean some specific requirements for the project you were working on?
You’re rolling too many things into one here. The concept that fat makes people fat as a direct consequence is false, but only if the calories gained from that fat are reduced elsewhere. Fat contains very dense calories, so consuming fat can lead to too many calories which leads to getting fat. That is not to say that a diet should be devoid of fat and replaced with sugar, just that the overall diet needs to be balanced with both, and not exceed the number of calories required. Any amount of “glugging down sodas” is certainly a problem, no matter if you’re also getting fat in your diet elsewhere.

On to the milk thing... Your complaint about skim milk presupposes that the whole variety is actually meant to be consumed by humans. By “meant” I assume that evolution has formulated the milk of various mamamals to the offspring of their own respective species. So for that definition of “meant”, how can one say that milk formulated for bovine offspring is meant for human consumption as is? Would not the ratios of fat, sugars, vitamins, etc. be out of balance with what a human needs? Right away, the widespread problem of lactose intolerance in humans, even many babies, upholds this view even a little. So why shouldn’t the formulation of cow’s milk as consumed by humans be altered outside of its natural state?
The wikipedia article doesn't do a good job of selling it.

Lets take a statement like this:
"Nuclear reactor fuel can be low-enriched uranium, with a concentration of less than 20% of fissile 235
U. This low quantity, non-weapons-grade uranium makes the fuel less desirable for weapons production."

20% enrichment is far higher than what is typically used in commercial power reactors. Because of the exponential behavior of uranium enrichment, 20% is almost all the way up to weapon's-grade material. Its part of why Iran's stockpile of 20-40% material was so concerning - they could have very quickly converted that into bombs.

If you have the technology to crank out 20% U-235 in quantity, then you also have the technology to make weapons in quantity.

Here's another concerning statement, "Many SMRs are fast reactors..." Fast reactors are inherently capable of being used for mass-production of plutonium. Plutonium production from fast breeder reactors is far less expensive than uranium enrichment, and an even higher proliferation risk.

Honestly, I think that the only reason small modular reactors have some traction because they appear to require less capital investment than full-scale reactors, thus drawing VC slush money.

There are many Lisps, some of them rank as arguably the fastest dynamic programming languages there are. They can even compete with statically typed languages in performance. So you should expect Java level performance to be possible on many Lisps. In the 1950s, Lisps were considered too slow in comparison to Fortran and C. You have to think though, (as I explain later), Lisp is arguably the first higher level language. In the 1950s, Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, Haskell, F#, would all have been considered too slow also if they existed. Lisps compete with Java, C#, Haskell, etc. in terms of performance.

There's now also more archaic Lisps that don't use a GC, and compile to very efficient machine code, that could compete with C speeds.

Most Lisps actually have too many functions. Not that its bad, but I think you got confused with they require very little primitive functions to mean there standard libs to be small.

On to why, it's hard to explain, but it's arguably the greatest syntax ever designed. In that it's simple and consistent, yet can express all things and easily be extended. You really have to try it to understand though, and give it a good 30 days. It's only once you're familiar with it and past the initial hump that you understand its appeal.

Finally, I'll explain the historical reasons people like Lisps. Its because they pioneered garbage collection, conditionals, closures, multiple inheritance, mixins, dynamic typing, macros, meta-programming, functional programming and REPLs (aka programming prompts). They were also the second OOP language, some people say to this day, only Smalltalk and some Lisps are truly OOP. So there's a lot of love due to its legacy of everything it gave us.

They're now being rediscovered, and because most software can now be successful even at Java's performance and memory usage, Lisps are making a come back. Since they no longer have any defeating drawback.
I appreciate the throwback to more reasonable websites, but really these days you can get something quite good with Vue. Its not hard to get a site under 200 kb. Webassembly is bound to make sites even 2-5x smaller in the near future.

The real problem is poliferation of ads and site owners that "don't care" if sites are hard to load on slow devices and connections. It's not something people really optimize for anymore.

The real problem, which Google tried to "fix" with their dubious AMP program, is that search engines don't punish huge and dog slow websites. Basically every large site is optimized for ads and SEO. Something we wouldn't see if the largest search engine didn't base their business on the same.

If a search engine half as good as Google appears that doesn't tolerate such trash in the search results all these slow sites will go away overnight

It is one thing to enact a policy and another to actually see to that it is enforced.

And I feel that it will be particularly hard to enforce the reduced working week in the South Korean culture that often puts group ahead of individual. Perhaps any movement to follow the regulation will be construed as a selfish as attempt to defy the common good of the group.

Right. If I had a tenth the hubris that 20th century authoritarian leaders of the USA had when they decided article 1 section 8 and the 14th amendmemt granted the federal government unlimited power (in spite of the 10th amendment), I would ignore this point.
But it's always a valid one.

Pragmatically I'm not suggesting an expansion of federal power, since it already de facto has national identification power for both criminal purposes and entitlements in addition to statues regulating elections. This being said, I would support an amendment to make a tiny expansion to the census provision to support a federal indentification system because I believe the benefits far out weigh the costs.

That was my first thought - companies are just looking for people who consider themselves (or can be embarrassed into thinking of themselves) as “lesser” and are willing to accept lower paychecks in return.

No enterprise is going to care about that price. If an enterprise is willing to delegate secret management to an external service in the first place, part of the reason they're doing it is so that they don't have to manage it themselves internally, along with the staffing and related compliance issues, which would cost orders of magnitude more.

The process of juicing any fruit means breaking down and often removing the fiber, which leads to free sugars that are easily and quickly absorbed into the blood. Even if the fiber remains, it is no longer enclosing the sugar so any benefit is removed. That is the entire problem with juice and most any drink that contains large amounts of sugar. The process of digesting whole fruit is slow and difficult and causes the sugar to be released slowly, which is what avoids the health problems associated with sugary drinks. This is why juice is essentially the same as soda in this regard.

Whether juice bars are a trend or not is really irrelevant to the issue, and it would not be the first time someone tried to sell people things that were bad for them under the guise of it being healthy.
Fashion, just like the art scene is way more controlled than we would like to think.

I’m noticing this misunderstanding quite a bit in the thread. None of those images have antialiasing disabled. What’s been disabled is subpixel antialiasing. So those images are comparing subpixel antialiasing and greyscale antialiasing.

Opinions between the two are mixed:

I’m one of the people that hates greyscale antialiasing (I find it makes text look fuzzier) and prefer subpixel antialiasing (which does a much better job of preserving the intended shape of the font glyphs).

On the other side, there are people who hate subpixel antialiasing (because they can see the colour fringes on the glyphs) and prefer greyscale antialiasing. Here’s an example from 1897235235 lower down in the thread:

“This is actually better for me. I wrote to Steve Jobs a long time ago and asked him if he could switch to gray-scale font smoothing because the tricks they use with colours don't actually work with people like me who are red green colour blind. The end result was that text on apple products looked terrible to me and I couldn't use any of their products until the retina displays came out. In windows, you can use grayscale font smoothing easily.

Anyway, he replied "we don't have any plans to do this" or something like that. Turns out I won in the end.”

Now if antialiasing was actually fully disabled, the difference would be extremely obvious, to say the least.
You're saying this because black on white hurts your eyes? Because if I'm reading something, I really don't care about what the text looks like and that's what black on white is good at: distraction free reading.
Japan worker's pay docked for starting lunch break 3 mins early

Changed careers and worked hard or another 8 years, and then retired for 3 years when we had to deal with an extended family illness. I'm currently on the 4th year of my 3rd career. Working hard and taking long breaks has really given me the opportunity to learn and grow, and stay young (most of my team won't believe I'm twice their age).

Okay, but tons of educated economists who's entire job is thinking about this stuff and peer reviewing other expert's work suggest that evidence doesn't back up the claim that minimum wage kills jobs at scale.

They cite as evidence a full time labor demand thst does not seem to contract in anything but a temporary manner when minimum wages are altered. We've got lots of examples of this all over the world.

Ask HN: Thai Cave Rescue – tech to elicit/rank rescue ideas?
The plight of the trapped Thai soccer team has taken the world’s attention and every day there is speculation on possible rescue methodologies, ranging from waiting for months till the water recedes to teaching the boys to scuba dive. Thai authorities are being bombarded with offers of physical and intellectual assistance. Even Elon Musk is proposing a novel “air inflated walk through tunnel” idea. So I ask HN – is there a software application, existing or ready to be built, which can collate and rank crowd-sourced ideas in novel situations like this? Something with more features than up and down voting platforms.Some features I would propose:

1.Crowd review and voting would necessarily help make the ranking of ideas more efficient.
2.Ranking of ideas by the idea submitters level of expertise, both self and crowd assessed, would be important.
3.Idea submitters should highlight their level of confidence and potential gaps in their knowledge to aid others to review and or improve upon their idea
4.Crowd reviewers should be able to evolve or modify the idea. 5.When significant dependencies change, the ideas rank should change or be able to be changed through filtering. E.g. should there be a need to rapidly remove the children, then more rapidly implemented ideas would rank higher.

The idea submission could be structured in an online form as below:
- Idea Title - Idea Description - Knowledge Gaps
- My Expertise/Qualifications/Highest Level of Achievement in the relevant fields

The application would allow annotations on both the idea itself and the knowledge gaps – either to confirm or deny the feasibility of the idea or to evolve the idea and allow the online crowd reviewing the idea to modify according to new information added to the idea. Ranking would incorporate expertise. Such an application may have application in other settings. Anyone already built this or something like it that could be modified?
The best limit for something like this would be to just move to hourly pay. If people were paid for each hour worked, it would be self limiting.

I've heard that in some countries, such as France, they actually post police outside of office parks to arrest people who work "too many hours". Makes it hard to start a business when you're limited in how much sweat equity you can put into it.

And I'm sure police have better things to do than to prevent people working.
