Of the fields you list, architecture stands out as different in that it seems hard to self study. The rest have already been totally subsumed by amateurs (photography) or are on their deathbeds (journalism). Youtubers are as well known if not more so than professional actors. Most journalists are already filtered down to the upper classes (the ones with jobs anyway).

Being productive in liberal arts, and more broadly, creative endeavors is absolutely attainable without a university degree. The internet has made self study, guidance and distribution open to anyone. It's also decimated many of these fields from a professional perspective.
Those are some pretty bold claims. Care to cite your sources?

Build a Multi-Protocol Tunneling Tool in Java
I'm a happy Protonmail user and I think this (even if it were true) is only an issue if you are being unrealistic. All companies can be legally compelled to take action regardless of their jurisdiction. If you have some gratuitously paranoid threat model, you should be using Tor anyway.

I like their service much more than GMail and I feel much more comfortable with regard to data privacy when using it.
yes I know they are different, but the lessons learnt/dev in both products probably end up influencing each other.

My point was encryption of services is built into K8s/service mesh and wondering how it fares compared to FB's approach.
Lot of superlative in there for a project I've never seen used anywhere.

But competition is good and you never know so I'll keep an eye on it.
Great video. A feedback loop between algorithms and content creators, with the audience's influence being quite weak and indirect.

The monetization in general is often heralded as important for revenue sharing. By comparison, facebook just takes all our content and gives us nothing for it.

But it obviously isn't all good. It creates a lot of perverse incentives to optimize for the letter of whatever the algorithm recommends, instead of authentically serving the audience's needs or authentically trying to produce content purely of high quality.
4k? "They" can come up with any number they want to, some say it is as low as 28, counting only the dead firefighters.

I live in the worst fallout area in Sweden and our nature is still very radioactive. Cancer rates here are of course increased compared to the rest of the country.
And of course, the worst is yet to come. I believe more than 4k Swedish people have died or have their lives drastically shortened due to Chernobyl.

Agreed, just a small change, otherwise awesome to see something like this out there.

Just curious, does anyone know of a kit like this for digital marketplaces for goods or services (not crypto)?
The honest truth is that Lightning Components are just vendor lock-in. Once you buy into lightning, you wind up using their proprietary communication channels and their proprietary component library (which this press release makes clear isn't open sourced).

If you want to change backends to something better, you can't because while the backend will port rather directly, the front-end will not.

Then there's also the fact (unless things have changed dramatically in the past few months) that writing your front-end in Vue or React will result in much faster UI experiences and finding developers to maintain it will be easier and cheaper (Salesforce devs are generally a bit more expensive).
CO2 is not 'poison' and the concentration increase actually makes plants grow bigger. Let's not go over the top and let's stick to facts.

Overall it's good for plants though this is more than offset by the downsides.

This reminds me a lot of the political echo chambers we're already seeing in the US media. If you think the Russia investigation is a big hoax, you watch Fox News. If you think otherwise, you watch CNN/MSNBC/etc.

Choice in our news consumption is allowing people to believe that vaccines cause autism, that there's a "deep state" cabal of leaders secretly pulling the levers of power, that Russia didn't really interfere in the 2016 election. We no longer have to confront difficult truths, we can simply believe the version that we want to believe and ignore everything else.

Choice in our news consumption is giving rise to incompatible versions of what's going on, and it's setting a pretty terrifying precedent. How can you give people a choice of what they want to see while maintaining a standard of quality that rises above propaganda?
OK, we've updated it from “An exoplanet smaller than Neptune with its own atmosphere has been discovered”. In either case I think users will be able to decide whether or not their Neptune-related exoplanet curiosity is aroused enough to click through to the article.
Pointing out that the App Store is the only available app store in the iPhone is not a compelling argument either.

When you're in a Walmart, you can only buy from Walmart. Nothing is stopping you from going to Costco.

Is Apple's App Store a Monopoly? Workers at These Tech Companies Think So
Hardly a week goes by without one folding due to hacking, mismanagement, or outright criminal activity. Seems like they need someone to keep up the churn or they might run low.
>The issue that you have with Protonmail seems to be that they enabled IP logging in response to a lawful government request. Google logs IP by default, scans your messages, etc. It baffles me that there is less outrage at that than this single case.

So in case the government is out to get you, both options will lead to the same outcome: your IP address is revealed.
The problem is government services are generally inefficient because the motivation is welfare versus quality of service to attract more “users” (or to put it bluntly profit). It’s not run like a business and it shouldn’t be. ( I don’t think anyone would like the idea of public health program run for profit). I think the general premise of ubi being supplemental to some basic government services is an interesting thought. However I don’t think u can make government programs more efficient by throwing more money at it. The problem is not the money but the motivation when it comes to government programs.

Only if you think skill in chess translates to actual intelligence. As a chess master, I tend to benefit from this myth, but it’s bogus.

The idea that computer chess is a stepping stone to common sense AGI is also fairly absurd to me.

Don’t get me wrong. Leela is a great project. Just see it for it is, an impressive demo showing how machine learning algs paired with massive compute has led to increased performance in a perfect-information game like chess. It’s not a “nail in the coffin” of anything other than possibly Stockfish’s reign as strongest chess player. No more, no less.
I've heard good stuff about Victron products, especially for boats. Is there a particular reason you chose it?

Also, do you have a diesel or gas engine as well? I know larger sailboats generally do; not sure about 37'. Presumably, solar and batteries would not be sufficient to replace that with an electric motor, unless you only used it sporadically. I can't imagine wanting to get stuck for days when it's both cloudy and not windy.
Seconding this, I tried Blendle after seeing it mentioned here a year ago. The UI is minimalist with no ads, and the publisher gets paid per article. As someone who doesn't want to pay for separate full subscriptions to NYTimes, WaPo, and other papers because I don't voraciously read enough articles each day to make it worth the cost, Blendle has been a good alternative.
I'm pretty sure I've read a similar story in the book "I'm Feeling Lucky". It goes like this:

In the early days of Froogle, a shopping search engine made by Google, searching for "sneakers" always yielded a garden gnome wearing sneakers, one unit on sale, as the top result. This was considered bad, as someone searching for "sneakers" probably wanted to buy sneakers, not garden gnomes. The whole team tried to fix it, but they didn't want to just hardcode an exception. It eluded them for a while. Finally, it was not there anymore. They asked around for who had solved it, no one answered. Finally, one colleague arrived late - and placed the gnome on their desk.
> That's a false choice. That's like saying "don't like Walmart? Then leave the US and move to Europe!"

No, it's like saying "don't like Walmart? Feel free to leave the store and look for a Costco."
I’m pretty sure the way these countries provide much cheaper education is not through unfettered access to loans.
Why are routers so energy intensive? I would think that with fiber the cost would be that of producing light which seems to be low cost.

Well, what's currently your favorite decentralized exchange, prior to 0x?

What do you suggest for people who live in regions where this technology is banned or where the difficulties of connecting orthodox bank accounts, etc, make access impossible?

The last decentralized exchange I knew about was EtherDelta, and 0x seems to be an improvement.
Ask HN: How to file trademark in China?
I'm located in the US and would like to file a trademark for my product name in China. However, this field is ripe for suckers to get taken advantage of, and doing a quick Google search reveals a number of very competitive marketing results, none of which seem authoritative.

Curious to hear if you have any direct experiences with this, and what pitfalls and common mistakes to avoid.
Why would it be useful? Most employers don't care about if their employees are also bar patrons and bars are a place to socialize - going to bars doesn't mean you're a heavy drinker. I frequently go to bars without drinking more than maybe a sip of alcohol. Either I'm the DD or I simply don't feel like drinking that day and my friends wanna meet up, or even if I just want some food. Doesn't apply to me but people go to see the band as well.
But the most interesting parts of this new site relate to competition. In one section, Apple goes over the core, built-in apps on iOS and lists the many popular third-party options that are available from the App Store in each category as alternatives.

I dare someone to try it. Take all of the default apps and hide them away in a folder somewhere and replace all of them with alternatives. Let me know 1) the quality of your user experience and 2) of all of the annoyances, how many of them are due to the lack of "special" capabilities and integration only available to the in-house apps?
I agree and share your concern. "1985 - Aldus PageMaker..." << that would be where I came in. Been "married to the Mac" ever since '85. My actual wife, on the other hand, loves her iPad, & works exclusively in the cloud-document environment.
As someone who is really quite happy with the curated apple App Store: I agree with your points 100%.

When I say "quite happy with" I mean that my android-using friends (mostly non-technical) all seem to have various security hassles with their machines, while I and my iOS using friends (also mostly non-technical) don't seem to have vary many at all. I do feel the monopoly (platform-specific; I don't really feel it's at all a "monopoly" in the legal sense) has allowed apple to become lazy in this regard. They have always used "secret" APIs, partially due to their own corporate structure which discourages intercommunication between groups.

The real protection comes from the sandboxing restrictions and other security approaches.. Interestingly I don't find the App Store especially compelling on my mac.
> the economy has the lowest social mobility of any 1st world country.

I'm not disagreeing with your general point here, but an interesting dimensions to this fact:

There's some recent evidence that social mobility net of transfers in countries at the top of these rankings are no better than the US's. Now obviously the redistribution itself makes a big difference to QoL, but it's an interesting wrinkle in the claim that inequality is driven by skewed access to good schooling, childcare, parental benefits, etc. It seems theoretically obvious, but the data apparently doesnt support it: either a counterfactual Denmark with US policies would have much lower mobility or these investments are ineffective.

I'm still in support of all of these policies, but it is pretty troubling that they don't have the effects you'd expect.
It definitely was on a larger scale, but it was also by a larger organization. Given the extent of the Penn State cover up compared to the number of individuals involved, and scale their sports program to the size of the Catholic Church, I'm not so certain the numbers are that far off.

Also, much of the abuse by the Catholic Church happens in third world countries. What few studies I've seen of child abuse rates in general in those countries paint an extreme grim picture compared to other countries. I say this with full knowledge that in the US we have rates of 1 in 5 for similar forms of abuse.
Dementia in middle management would explain a lot, but seriously dude, citation required !
I use Penrose diagrams all the time for my research and was hoping to see exactly this. I'm thinking of contacting the developers and participating in their survey...
I disagree with the point, but for the sake of argument, why is this a negative? Large portions of pure mathematics would be deemed irrelevant by this standard. Blockchains and smart contracts are still a burgeoning technology, and projects like this demonstrate what is possible in a tangible way. Perhaps this particular project has no use that you can foresee, but it's the foundation upon which future projects of worth will be built.
Godless untrustworthy liberals, duh.
Freedom isn't bad but in larger environments that freedom can lead to multiple ways of doing the same thing and in turn it becomes harder for new people to jump into current projects, they have to first figure out what the initial thought behind a design was. The way Angular is opinionated benefits this setup and unknown projects look more familiar when you first dive in. Also, searching for solutions online almost always fit your needs.
You forget to mention which colorspace you're using. It matters.

From Rec. 2020 wikipedia article:
Since a larger color space increases the difference between colors an increase of 1-bit per sample is needed for Rec. 2020 to equal or exceed the color precision of Rec. 709.

The "correct" solution is to use a modern colorspace (rec 2020) with 10 bits encoding (or 12 bits, if you can). UHD standard mandates at least 10 bits.

On the '821 you could gain 1 bit by degrading to an older color space - 709.

Full 0-255 range should never be used - they are invalid according to the standard. None of the hardware codecs are validated for 0-255 - you're asking for trouble here. Expect ghosting and weird motion artifacts accumulating from one I-frame to the next I-frame.
Can they vote half of their shares yes and half no?
but they're not. that's a huge misconception. public services are almost universally underfunded and almost universally more efficient than the private sector providing a similar good with similar constraints (eg, being accessible to all rather than a subset of rich people).

"public stuff is inefficient" is the worst sort of received wisdom. it's exactly propaganda by rich people who want to skim profit off of things.
The vast majority of Salesforce code is "legacy", so you don't get a lot of people sticking around that know modern web stuff.

I saw the same thing happen at a previous employer. Nobody that knew modern web development would stick around and let their skills rot, so our "new SPA" interface was build by a team that only knows jQuery
Mars is also much lighter than Earth. Venus is less massive than Earth, but not by much.

Even so, Venus has had most of its hydrogen stripped away over time. Thanks to its high temperature, that also includes hydrogens formerly bound in heavier molecules, like water. The process continues, very slowly. Venus is still losing its hydrogen and helium, more quickly than Earth.

One terraforming plan for Venus involves shipping magnesium hydride there, decomposing it, and using both the H2 and the Mg to react with all the CO2 in the atmosphere to make soot, chalk, and water, reducing the surface pressure to about 3 atm of mostly N2. Nothing works without shipping hydrogen to Venus. But once it's there, it will take many millions of years to get stripped away again, because that happens so slowly, over geologic time scales.
It absolutely can be. Defamation definitions vary by state, but in general it's something like:

1. A false statement

2. Made to a third party

3. About a specific person

4. That causes damages (eg, to their reputation)

If they repeat something false, it absolutely is defamation. Damages could be hard to prove or show - perhaps a business meeting at a bar would qualify. Likely way to use this is through sending the company a demand letter basically saying "remove these false statements from your database or I will sue you for defamation."
The problem is that you can never remove them, we just have to replace them.

Unless we reduce our use of electricity or come up with a new source, those panels will always be there.

It will also take time for the wild life to grow back and if the the ecosystem has changed enough it won't come back the same. This isn't a problem by itself. But if Chernobyl is an example all you have to do is wait 50 years and wild life will move back in too.

I'm 100% for renewable energy, but we're making a lot of assumptions on how we're going to get rid of and recycle solar panels. That's a lot of material we have to re-process and see how much we can use and how much was consumed.

Especially since SQLAlchemy has sqlalchemy-core, which allow to express pretty much any regular SQL, including proprietary one and very complex report generating query, but with type-casting, data checks, code completion, linting and a uniform API no matter the dialect or project.

I mean, we are not talking about just an ORM. SQLAlchemy is damn god-like powerful.

For some perspective: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/tutorial.html
Well, you need to buy an iPhone and a Mac only once every 5 years or so whereas the $99 fee is per annum. So this can be significant for someone who is scraping by on a low budget.
I can't help but read most of this as corporate double-speak. In my mind there is no principle (other than greed) that justifies grabbing 30% of all sales on a digital store. Its especially greedy to grab money from future sales via subscriptions for apps like Spotify. And they also ban Spotify from telling their users to go to Spotify.com and pay there. I'm hoping Epic succeeds in pushing Apple and Steam to a less exploitative revenue split.

They advertise the App Store as a feature of the phone they're selling, and get paid for the feature by customers who buy the phone for the advertised features. But then they also grab 30% of sales from the developers who ship on their platform. Feels like double-dipping.

A reasonable option would be to charge fixed fee that allows them to pay for their review team and other overhead. They can tier this so that complex apps have to pay more for the effort involved in reviewing their app. And then charge a fixed cost per download that covers the payment processing, hosting and delivery costs - which would be a tiny percentage.
Sod off swindler.
Salesforce has been a terrible experience with our company. I'll focus on the customer support / service module since as a sales platform, it definitely shines, but as everything else it falters. Lightning, the "new" experience that kept being touted as the solution to our existing problems, has been even worse -- it is incredibly slow and bloated. I have to restart my browser periodically since it starts taking up 2-4 gigabytes of memory in Chrome. The interface feels like it is stuck in the past, being unable to use native tabs in your browser and forced to use their tab implementation. Everything feels clunky and slow. The API to use things is pretty awful and obtuse; the code for custom components is insanely verbose for the simplest things.

The marketplace is insanely expensive to add simple features or tools that many other platforms have built in -- or, if not built in, easily developed with a sane API. Look at this sample project for a session timer to get a feel for the insanity: https://github.com/SalesforceLabs/CaseTimer and things like a command line interface and source control for your sites are either nonexistent or poorly supported or documented.

The only reason we use it is because the directive came from above; Salesforce feels like Oracle to me in that it gets sold to the higher level execs who never actually use it, and it gets forced on everyone else.

I know there are some good Salesforce sites around somewhere.. but those seem to be the ones where they've replaced all the Salesforce stuff with their own UI and simply use it as a backend database.

I highly recommend avoiding it like the plague.
They're rather working on the assumption that readers know that anything with a "(1)" or an "(8)" after it is a reference to a user manual. This is a very common thing in BSD doco, and in Unix doco more generally.

For experienced Unix users this is likely to be true. It's something that one just learns. For novice users, it is less likely.
This is not an ORM.

I found it strange since OpenBSD is known for their excellent docs. So after opening the libressl site they have that paragraph stating the parts of the lib and links to their docs. That page works as the documentation index.

Namely

https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1

Which the author was complaining about needing to use google for. Specifically the https://man.openbsd.org/openssl.1#GENRSA seems well document.

Forks are just the way open source works and if documentation could be better then we are all free to contribute to it.
