_Everyone_ has an ideology that overrides logic for many topics.

Indeed. Both sides of the political spectrum have this! As a person who values truth and knowledge, let me warn my fellow people: Beware of jingoistic and tribalistic claims that reality has a [political-descriptor-here] bias. No human being is free of the need for a little self doubt and introspection. No ideology can act as an oracle, and ideologies which have made that claim throughout history have acted against the truth and even given rise to tragedy and atrocity. If you have reached the point where you believe your opponents are somehow lesser than you are, and that you no longer need to convince but instead must coerce their cooperation, you need to take a step back and beware. No belief system, philosophy, or intellectual movement is so clued into ultimate truth, that its adherents can afford to cease questioning themselves. It's precisely those groups of people who cease questioning themselves and suppress the questions from others who are most at risk of becoming history's villains.

(One of my most disilusioned days was when I saw fellow atheists wearing their atheism like an arm band, using it as a pretext to declare their superiority over fellow human beings, and intoning it like some sort of religious creed. Everyone was wasting time preaching to the choir, and as I was at a musical gathering and just wanted to play music, I called it out. Then I watched them turn on me.)

(Both sides of the political spectrum deny science for ideology. They just deny different parts of science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkdIB03RdBg )

Ask HN: What's the post mortem of the big Quora hack?
At the time, Quora published a blog post saying they're "sorry for any concern or inconvenience" and that they're still investigating the precise causes: https://blog.quora.com/Quora-Security-Update

But then they didn't follow up with their conclusions:

1. Who hacked
2. How the hack was executed
3. What are the steps they took to help affected users (if at all)
4. What are the steps they took to prevent future hacks from happening in the future (if at all)

Does anyone know?

Rationality is just a tool, which can be used or misused. That said, it has a really impressive list of accomplishments when it is used well. The rationalist view and rationalist methods have created more wealth and alleviated more human suffering than most any mystic of the world pre-1800s would ever have imagined.

I'm exactly the same! I've recently started to think that I don't actually have a minds eye. I can't hold an image in my head for more than a fraction of second - and even then, it's just parts of the image at a time (not a whole scene, and not in realistic color). The memory-castle type techniques seem to be visually "begging the question" - to remember things, first... remember things!
It's nice to see new search servers, especially low level ones. I'm going to give this a few tests.
I believe the best ways to buck this weakness are:

1. Invest more energy into trying to falsify your favored beliefs than into confirming them.

2. Embrace humility, since we're always wrong sometimes. Humility to me means: you can have convictions, but you should never assume that people who disagree with you are stupid or evil.

I’d add two other ideas that I try to adhere to, continuing your list.

3. Try to adopt the perspectives of those you disagree with, especially when you’re finding yourself ascribing malice, stupidity, moral failing, or just find yourself baffled by someone. Such feelings are often a sign that you don’t understand where someone is coming from, and though you may still disagree with them, you’ll have a better platform to discuss matters.

4. Try to see yourself and your time through the same lens you use to look back on history. We’re not special or unique, we’re goinf to be seen as primitives eventually, and it can be helpful to imagine in which ways that perception might be levied.

Both of these help to broaden perspective and depend empathy, while also divorcing yourself from a strict “first person view” or tribal view. It’s also a couple of concrete steps to gain some distance from your feelings in the present, which makes your steps easier to achieve. You’ll also find that the people you end up despising form a much smaller pool than most.

In the “let’s go down the what could be done” path...

No network accesss doesn’t mean no access to the outside world. “Alexa, tell some tracker that ...” when you are asleep. And how many people audit their past activations on the Alexa app?

No, I don’t believe this would be the case... I have half a dozen Alexa devices of various builds, a google home (that is currently powered off) and some iDevices plugged in for hey Siri in different rooms.

The thing I was trying to point out though is that no network access is not no outside world access for this device. And if one is paranoid enough to desire this device, then the device itself should be worried about.

And yes, with the right software, it could be reprogrammed via voice too. “Alexa, read some reprogramming site”.

The only acceptable solution is to make it yourself and audit the code yourself if you are concerned enough to desire it in the first place.

The real reason is I thought I had 30 days to return the XR, but it turned out to be 14 and so now I have it :-)

The theoretical reason is I trust a phone more if I know it’s direct from Apple.

Now that I have the XR + Watch combo, I’m seeing if I can get by treating the XR as a “desk phone” and the Watch as a “mobile phone”. So far that’s been working out pretty well. If I get tired of it, I may rethink things and try to get a used SE.
For those out of the loop as I am, what is Urbit?
These are good questions that will definitely need to provoke further investigation. They'd be out of the scope of this article because the news of paternal mtDNA transmission really is that fresh.

Was Tlon a real thing or just a way for his patrons to basically “launder” him money as a tax write-off?
Huh, I didn’t realize he was backed by Thiel, but I guess that really shouldn’t surprise me. What a waste of sequestered resources. The actual idea behind Urbit sounded like a sociopolitical thesis as written by a child, and it’s hard to see a loss here. I’m skeptical in general of technology that follows politics rather than the other way around.
> this is something that I've noticed MacOS has generally handled well

Really? I’ve had the opposite experience. MacOS running out of memory and paging heavily almost always necessitates a reboot to get performance fully restored, even if you kill the memory hog (if you aren’t willing to deal with a sluggish machine for a while that is).

What about the speed of type-checking? Flow is near-instant by keeping everything live from the last check whereas TypeScript has always been much slower.

Other than that aspect (which is very important!) I do think TypeScript is likely a better choice if you use any third party libraries that already have definitions available.

Of course domestic terrorism exists, but it isn't frequent and it doesn't seem that more ability for any given citizen to carry out a specific terrorist attack correlates with more domestic terrorists attacks in general.

The fear around borders is different, as with borders, even when everything is working as intended, there is still a constant threat of people who want to cross the border illegally. With a secured border they will try and fail to cross (ideally), without border security, they will cross.

With drones, regulations like these only better outline how law-abiding citizens should act. The threat of terrorism isn't dealt with with regulation like this, it already is very illegal to do anything terrorizing on purpose with a drone, so a regulation about flying at night doesn't protect from that. With the border I mentioned how its an ever present threat, well, with drones it isn't. It can become a major threat if society was less stable perhaps, but as is, not enough people want to commit terrorism via drones for it to be a threat in the public mind.

All this said, it absolutely can become a fear campaign with drones. I can't remember specifics, but I know I've witnessed a handful of incidents where someone was injured at a park or similar location and subsequently got regulation to ban/limit drone use at the park or similar location. Incidents like that would only need to be a bit more numerous and a nationwide anti-drone campaign could work. Even already if it was made a partisan issue, many would pick a side with strong confidence.

I know this is a shallow remark and the song was only used as an example but the forgetting of Imagine can not happen fast enough, in my opinion. It cheered me to know that there are people unfamiliar with it. Which I guess speaks to the benefits of forgetting.

Eb is probably disproportionately popular due to the common practice of tuning guitars down a half step, making Eb instead of E the natural/easy root chord.

I'm not sure why F would be more popular than D and A. One hypothesis would be that it has fewer accidentals; it's not a fun key for guitars, but many contemporary pop songs aren't guitar-driven anyway.

I met this guy at a social event once, did not realize who he was and I just read his Wikipedia page. It makes a lot more sense now. He was extremely arrogant and rude. Basically a worse version of the /r/iamverysmart archetype. I sat next to him and he basically challenged me and another person for an hour on Andrew Jackson trivia and the exact wording of his biography. Then he ranted about democracy for a while so I left to go debate about 3D printed guns and play cards. Was an interesting event.
I would counter that reasoning doesn't stand by itself. Reasoning is a method of getting from A to B, but you need an A (your axioms) to reason from. It's easy to disparage people whose axioms are different from yours (Jehovah is God/Allah is God/There is no god), but sometimes that's all there is to it. Though once emotions get involved (such as by challenging the political/religious framework on which they've built their life), pretty much everyone will also fail to adhere to strict reason.
There's a slider to call 911/emergency services (as well as to show medical ID). You can configure it to call 911 after 3/5 seconds but even then there's the second countdown with a cancel button. It prevents biometric unlock either way.
For a profit seeking corporation, your core product is the product that makes you money.

Roku sells hardware, but the CEO has said in no uncertain terms that their core product is aggregating user data to sell to advertisers. That they don’t consider themselves a hardware company.

IBM was also big into open source to sell mainframes and services.
Elon Musk had a similar argument against, I think, flying cars on Joe Rogans show. I guess it is one of those things were imagination is greater than reality. Like a lot of space stuff (mostly in regards to distance).

Though I guess high and light applications would disturbe less.
On the ground? To an extent, but it would be expensive to deploy and maintain. On the drone? No, you’re adding weight and reducing available power.

For kubernetes unless you’re past a couple of million keys it’s unlikely etcd is the issue, and other things would fall over first. However, if you’re at those levels it might be worth it to use something else.

I’m not sure foundation would be able to do the full consistent list required in the current model though (someone above mentioned full consistent table scans being not possible in FDB). In etcd and cockroach you can leverage MVCC and get a consistent scan over older history. But if FDB has that it’s pretty close (I looked into this before FDB was acquired the first time).

Edit: unlikely = in practice I haven’t seen anything except large range lock contention (which is why we added chunking to the api)

> Aside for some script things for which Python is still a blessing, I'd chose TS for everything else, at least to start.

I really wish Python had a decent type system; hopefully the Mypy project takes a leaf from TypeScript's book.

Also, I've found that Go does for Python much of what TypeScript does for JavaScript. Of course, Go's APIs are different than Python's and its type system is less expressive than TypeScript so it's not a perfect analog, but Go also brings speed, parallelism, sane concurrency (Python's async is a hot mess by comparison), sane deployment, and great editor integrations, which are things I sorely miss when writing Python.
With memory growing arguably beyond what most application workloads really require anyways, and possibly hardware such as Intel Optane, do we still need things like VM, paging, and segmentation?
After I read “Moonwalking With Einstein”, I pretty much think it’s a gimmick and still a lot of work. Spaced repetition is probably a better technique.

Makes sense, the immune system is for detecting things that aren’t “you” and killing them, so the more mutated it is the less you it is — the easier it is to kill. Intuitively, anyways.
