From the linked blog post:

Sounds like it's not "shutting down" as much as forked, and he's upset. Also it looks like the reason why it's getting forked is because critical bugs went out. People are relying on this to live, and he's treating it like a hobby -- because it is to him.

His post is full of recriminations and cries about being betrayed. Even the forum post someone found[0] in these comments supports this idea of a fork.

> ApneaBoard's recent "release committee" initiative is illegitimate and is seeking to undermine my years of work on SleepyHead and undermine my role in my own software project."

> If it's NOT SleepyHead, don't call it SleepyHead, and don't make it look like SleepyHead... it's that simple!

The code is GPLed[1]. It sounds like there were other people willing to contribute. The code goes on, without him.

”At this point, the text will be reviewed by the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs, and then presented to the full European Parliament for a vote. Should the vote succeed, then each of the EU's member states have up to 24 months to introduce laws within their own countries to support the Directive.”

So, this is a statement “we believe the European Parliament should vote against this proposal”.

"Toxic Workers Are More Productive"

Isn't this just an instance of Berkson's paradox? [0]

You might keep someone around because they're nice, or because they're productive. So if they're neither nice nor productive, then they wouldn't be hired/retained. So 100% of surviving not-nice people are productive, whereas the nice people is a mix of productive and non-productive people.

When I had a swimming pool, I used borax (the same 20 Mule Team stuff sold along side clothes washing detergent) to adjust the ph with the added benefits that it suppressed algae, made for soft feeling water, and reduced my use of Chlorine tabs and shock.

The issue I see with the EU, is that it's essentially centralizing all the "countries" into "states". Where by, each of the states will simply answer to the two countries with the most power. Namely Germany, followed by France.

Personally, I think it's sad. It's as if we're watching the destruction of all the national identities. Only to be centralized by powers who are only interested in their own national identity.

This is similar to the struggle the U.S. faced at the start. You cannot have a centralized government making laws without invasively deciding everything. A federation of the EU made sense. Shared currency, shared military, etc. But by trying to manage the economy (which copyright is an extension of), they are essentially going down the path of ever increasing centralization.

With that, countries like the U.K., who have a strong national identity, can and should leave - if they want to be an independent nation.

Content creators would benefit from lbry if they want to share files other than videos (, don't want to worry about being deplatformed, or want full control of their data.

Users may want to use it if they want to support their favorite creators without going through someone else. If they choose to support their favorite creators with micropayments or subscriptions, no one gets to take a cut off the top.

Ideally, it would allow creators to earn more money, and allow users to give more support to their favorite creators.

> That's what full disk encryption and (eventually) hardware security chips and the like are for.

That only helps if you assume the laptop is fully powered off when it is stolen. If it's on or merely in "sleep" mode, disk encryption doesn't help.

> It never can be

What can never be? Laptops being stolen? A threat doesn't necessarily need to scale to be a problem as long as the gain from individual compromises is sufficient to make it worthwhile.

> What tools "automate" stealing your notebook?

The stealing doesn't need to be automated, just the attack on the password manager itself. A program anyone can download and run on a stolen laptop to extract the password database would be sufficient.
Hey, thanks for the comments! We don't think it's a matter of verification / financial incentives for the blockchain use case, but instead, it's the censorship-resistant, permissionless, and spam prevention factors that count. If we had a centralized database, we could potentially limit access or overwrite records.

As far as discovery goes, we've developed a product that helps with exactly this problem - it's called Chainquery. It digests all the metadata from the blockchain into SQL tables that can be easily queried. Check it out at https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery/

1. That's good feedback though to be clear this portal is specifically for developers/engineers not creators. The spec available at lbry.tech/spec should provide answers to those questions.

2. Depends on what you mean by DRM. It's DRM-like in the sense that LBRY can provide proof-of-purchase of digital content. It's not DRM-like in the sense that our focus is not on providing you with crippled versions of a digital media file.

3. A public blockchain does not work without tokens. We believe the idea of a shared registry of information (digital content) that exists in the world that is not owned or controlled by a single party is an extremely powerful and beneficial idea. It's why the company is called LBRY, in fact.

Your advice is useful in that it tells us we have more work to do in our introduction of this technology, but what you advise is not what we are trying to do. The central goal of LBRY is to provide a globally accessible, robust listing of digital content that anyone can contribute to but that no one party controls. We are considering extending it to support additional datasources. De-duplication can be done but only if the duplication is non-malicious.
I would consider it misguided to assume that one can determine whom to trust and whom not to trust based on whether or not their logo appeared on a slide leaked onto the internet, yes. I would also consider it misguided to implicitly believe stories that conform to any particular ideological bias, because misinformation, manipulation and deception can take place everywhere.

It leads to things like people implicitly trusting DDG because they weren't on the PRISM slide, or implicitly trusting Facebook and Reddit because they aren't the "mainstream media."
When you’re in the water that much, I think you just end up getting desensitized to it.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Teammates going to a corner and openly declaring “don’t come over here I’m peeing.” Coaches literally encouraging it, saying it’s not worth it to get out and miss a set when you can stay in the water: “your urine is just a tiny, minuscule fraction of the total volume anyways”

When you spend that much time in the water with your teammates, it’s no longer an “open secret” that eveyone is doing it. It’s simply open.

You asked HN about the blockchain in 2019. The answer will reflexively be that you are doing something wrong.

I think LBRY is exploring one of the more promising use-cases for blockchains, which is users selling their original content to each other.

My suspicion is that some combination of scaling+ux improvements to core blockchain tech + some kind of interop with the growing fediverse + some catalyst mistake from big tech, and we'll see a big migration.

Personal opinion - I really dislike the term and all the overpriced drag-and-drop, "automated", "easy-to-use" tools that are associated with it. Generally, I would choose open-source over licensed software and a programming language over a GUI.

Yes, because farm chickens and human societies are optimized for different things. We value only farm production and don't care about individual feelings of the chickets. In a society, however, we not only value the group effort, but also individual freedom and one's ability to freely compete with others.

There were a couple of leftist experiments when societies were managed like farms, but they are now considered atrocities.

That's it? Less than half a page to make their argument?
In a wide ranging discussion, there were some fundamental disagreements among the panelists as follows:

I disagreed with Tony Hoare about using synchronous communication as the primitive because it is too slow for both IoT and many-core chips. Instead, the primitive for communication should be asynchronous sending and receiving, from which more complex protocols can be constructed.

Also, I disagreed with Tony about sequential actions (using ";") as being foundational. Instead, concurrent actions are foundational for digital systems as follows:

* Receipt of a communication activated sending other communications
* An Actor received one communication before it received another communication

Consequently, a computation is a partial order of causality. Tony and I did agree that tooling is needed for navigating the partial order. We just disagreed about whether sequential actions (using ";") are foundational.

Furthermore, class hierarchies are not a suitable foundation for Scalable Intelligent Systems. Interfaces instead of subclassing should be used for IoT communication. Also, entities and descriptions in large ontologies do not fit in an object class hierarchy, e.g., Java and C++. Subclassing is not secure because it allows a subclass to impersonate a superclass.

I disagreed with Joe Armstrong about requiring use of external mailboxes because they are inefficient in both space and time. Instead of requiring an external mailbox for each Actor, buffering/reordering/scheduling should be performed inside an Actor as required.

Of course, Tony and Joe made other great points with which we agree entirely.
What you're missing though is that without heavy policing a large city with very high income inequality like NYC would quickly turn into a dystopian shithole.

The video in the OP says it's Arizona. Or maybe more are killed there while more are simply maimed in FL.

Much of the problem isn't snowbirds. It's the low rate of prosecution for vehicular manslaughter. Southern states seems especially tolerant of driver irresponsibility, perhaps because the victim is perceived as 'an outsider' -- i.e. not someone cluelessly driving a giant SUV.
No feigning surprise

No condescending well-actually’s

Egads - I thought this was going to be about serious matters (like the climate of toxic sexual behavior that pervades our industry). But no - it's about thought control and enforcing a culture of fake niceness.

Because -- or "well, actually" -- sometimes surprise is a perfectly normal human emotion. And "well actually" is just... a fill phrase that pops out of your mouth.

Nothing more.

On the more nuanced side -- I get the point about how these behaviors can seem out of tune, or rub some people the wrong way. So I welcome helpful discourse about them. It's when you feel you have to make a "code of conduct" to regulate them is where it starts to seem controlling and, basically, unhuman.

And very corporate.

Most pools require toddlers and infants to wear special swim diapers that provide some type of barrier to prevent pee (and worse) from getting in the water. Not that they're foolproof, but if you are swimming in a pool that doesn't require this, I would get out.

Netflix has been doing this for years. It's one of the inputs into how much to pay to license a film or TV shows (but to be clear not the only input, at the end of the day it's the buyer's gut instincts that determine what to buy at what price, but the AI is a tool to help them make that decision).

I see two failure points - I don't think you need a tamperproof log of all the writes to the datastore, and you might want to update records for where things are located over time.
No. It fails at the second step because ownership is generally not contested and a single trustworthy organization can be responsible for all writes. In the event that a blockchain based project is financially successful, you should expect that a more efficient, single trustworthy competitor will arrive with lower costs.
