Every existing ActivityPub application requires you to rely on a server operated by someone else that controls your identity. This application puts you fundamentally in control of your content: it is just served from your own device by default, with the option to have another server pin your content (all of your content has Dat addresses).

Also, this sort of "use this, not that" dismissal ignores the fact that almost every decentralized application can be bridged together. It would not be hard to have Mastodon/Pleroma pull someones Unwalled.Garden feed and put it on its federated timeline, or conversely for Mastodon/Pleroma to expose its users feeds as Unwalled.Garden files.

> Quatum Leap/transitions are just a description of the uncertainty principle wave function

That is almost right. But it's not a description of the uncertainty principle, it's a manifestation of the uncertainty principle, specifically the time-energy uncertainty principle.

But none of this has anything to do with flatland. It has to do with Fourier analysis: the more localized a signal is in the time domain the more spread out it is in the frequency domain, and vice versa.

I can see where you get that idea from, indeed the httpclient module doesn't have timeout flags for it's async recieve. But the asyncdispatch has a withTimeout procedure that should happily take the Future that you get from an async recieve and give you a timeout for it.

The opposite over here. Met less than a dozen at most of people exclusively through various online interactions. Use various online media and platforms only to sustain existing relationships and even this not always works. Dating and social networking applications from the FB platform are so full of attention absorbing people, inflencers, and similar that I have quit these long time ago.

A lot of people aren't leaving home to "follow their dreams", they're leaving home because there just aren't any jobs there anymore. Jobs of any sort are scarce outside urban areas.
You are not taking into account for the fact that the hardware will be used constantly by multiple people on and on. I play on average 1 hour of video game a day, multiply that by 24, or 12 or 6 to be more conservative, you are still getting a good margin on hardware cost.
Ask HN: Seed Funding for Solo Founder?
Are there any funds/programs that provide seed funding to solo founders so they can leave their jobs to build a new product?
It's not. And that's reflected by the fact that amazon sells tshirts with soviet symbols (though swastikas are absent from their selection).

Soviets did not just conspire with the Nazis. Nazi tank crews trained in the soviet union up until 1938.

If it were a just world, the Soviet union would have been as decimated after the war as Germany was. But it is not. We just satisfice our way to survival.
People just way too often ape legal procedural shows where people will exclaim that "all this evidence is circumstantial" as if that's an actual problem.

You can say that about most evidence. Even the classic "smoking gun" metaphor is an example of circumstantial evidence.

It's just a way for people to dismiss a claim without actually having to argue against a claim. If the evidence is tenuous or weak, explain why.

For instance, the fact that Solotshi is similar to Satoshi. That's just dumb. If you're going to pick a pseudonym to hide your identity for the long term, you don't pick one that's just a variation of your name.

However, if every other piece of evidence was much better, then dude just picked a bad pseudonym.

And we also have to consider that a lot of weak signals can become a strong signal. Like the name thing is what I'd call an extremely weak signal. But if there's an overwhelming flood of such weak signals, then it starts looking much more likely.
Can we stop this kind of non-constructive criticism? Nobody here would ever choose to voluntarily go back to Windows 98 or anything similar from that era.

Using this same logic we'd be demanding that Netflix run over a 56K modem. It's a completely not realistic.

I would very much like to see your cloud syncing solo-developed markdown note taking app with HTML rendering available for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS that uses under 16 MB of RAM. Or maybe you could point me to something of the sort that existed in 1998.

I'm sure you've got a quick link to that so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Started on a Wikipedia wormhole and came across a small note about beaufighter T4800 and I knew nothing about it.

one google Trips feature that I really loved, was it's curated day plans. Basically, each major city in the world had a nice list of day plans per city-district. I followed this guide in Barcelona, Montpellier, Nice, Marseille, New York City, Cannes and it always gave excellent recommendations. Sure it was only the very touristy spots, but it was nice to have a curated day plan for each day I was travelling. If anyone knows of anything similar please comment :)
ARM Memory Tagging Extension: How It Improves C/C++ Memory Safety [pdf]
I’ve been feeling a pretty intense sort of depression and loneliness for the last month or so.

The feelings of “you’re a white male and you work in tech and you are wealthy you are a SATAN” is just becoming too much :(.

I volunteer a tremendous amount in education, where I’m the only male I generally even see in my field, and I constantly have to listen to my coworkers gleefully talk about how excited they are at how few young boys show up to our events. I hear them blatantly express disdain when a couple do.

Its so, so sad. I try getting away from the news, but then it creeps into my life anyway.

I’m not some devil because of my genitals, my sexual orientation, or the color of my skin. I volunteer so much of my time specifically to the homeless and less fortunate, I give so much money to charity, I do so much stuff in my community...and yet I just have to hear almost constantly that I am everything wrong with the world because I am an evil, cis, white, monogamous, straight male. I tick every single box of bad guy it seems like there is, and I don’t want to be the bad guy. I actually try really hard to be a nice guy.

It just makes me so so sad :(. And if I ever do even mention that, it just makes it even worse, hence the throwaway account.
This isn’t a uniquely female phenomenon. The expectation has always been for men to trade time with family for time at work.

Seems unlikely: why do staunch conservatives reproduce far better than liberals?
Perhaps the more interesting question is whether the traditional nuclear family is the "optimal" mode of human society?

Is the unhappiness that we may be observing with the decline of family a product of this transition period from traditional family structure to individualism? Is our current society just not well equipped yet to handle this mode of living? Maybe in 50 years, this will become the norm and people who choose to live alone will have alternative sources of happiness.

That's why you don't do it alone. You get involved with co-ops, sign them up for classes, use established curricula, and more.
Because the level of destruction imposed on Venus implies a degree of power a great deal beyond what we have now. Venus has 93 times the atmosphere of Earth. Wrecking Earth's atmosphere to that extent on a short time frame due to intelligent life's activity isn't just burning a tons of hydrocarbons, it would be going out to the Solar System and pulling in mass in quantity to be dropped in to the atmosphere. By the time they got there they ought to have the capacity to do a lot of other things too.

It isn't particularly plausible that life destroyed Venus. It's especially not particularly plausible that it just so happens that life did it to Venus using exactly what happens to be a fashionable thing to talk about here on Earth at this exact time.
I think you're right that it comes down to economics/capitalism. But I doubt it's a conspiracy to boost GDP and tax revenue, as you allude by saying "is good for the economy". I think you're closer to the mark with "economically efficient" -- what seems a more likely explanation to me is comparative advantage:

Sure, grandpa might be a great primary caregiver while mom and dad are at work, but he might also not be. Chances are low he has any training in early childhood education, though he may have raised his own kids -- but he's tautologically not as young as he used to be. But he might have training in law, or medicine, and might plausibly be very valuable as a consultant for the hours that he's instead watching little Ephra.

The licensed daycare in the neighborhood, by contrast, is set up to care for children, and -- depending on grandpa's hourly rate -- might do so at a lower cost. The folks there are (maybe?) trained in early childhood education, and have years of experience handling 1-2 year olds, or 2-3 year olds, or 3-4 year olds, at least compared with grandpa who might only have a year or two of experience with each.
Oh my god. I AM SATOSHI!?

I have read a bit about Le Roux over the years, and I got an impression of someone who always seeks the short term benefit (albeit often a quite sizeable benefit) over a long term benefit. Among droves of other crazy things, the guy was trying to set himself up as a warlord in Somalia, allegedly aiming to provide mercenary services to highest bidder. It's really hard for me to reconcile someone like that with the thoughtful debate SN dealt in. But that's mostly my biases talking, and less an objective analysis.
Maybe the implicit assumption is that society and work culture shouldn’t punish parents so harshly?

This looks awesome! A few questions if anyone knowledgable is around:

* Does Unwalled.Garden automatically pin the content of people you follow, so that their stuff stays online if they aren't?

* I didn't understand "We also use a second “private” dat for records which should be kept off the network". What is this referring to, the follow request, or some other private content like a DM? I assume that since this is still Dat there is no access control if you happen to know the address?

* How is reader privacy and DHT coming along with this ecosystem?

Ask HN: What information would you include in a digital survival kit?
In the event of an emergency where you lose internet access (natural disaster, EMP, stranded on a trip), what sort of information would you want with you?

Given how cheap SD cards are, and the fact more and more phone can take them, I'm trying to make a sort of digital survival kit. Something that has the information that I don't know, but would usually Google to find out if I ever did need to know it.

The problem that arises from that is that since I currently don't know this information, I don't know to add it to the offline storage.

If you have made something like this, what did you include? And if you haven't, what sort of information do you think would be good to have.

Some things I have considered are:

- Basic woodsman/outdoors guides
- Flora and fauna guides
- Maps
- English <> foreign language dictionaries (like Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Mandarin at minimum)
- Copy of Wikipedia (a lite version, not the full 58GB)
- Basic electrical guides
- Basic plumbing guides
- Basic vehicle repair (cars, trucks, tractors)
Writing Tool for Focus and Creativity
Hey Hacker friends,

As a hobby project, I've built and acquired one of the most viral writing tools that breed focus.

For those who don't know, if you stop typing, it deletes your work.

Then I added a new feature to it that helps induce creativity with 500+ writing prompts.

The outcome?

Version 1.0 of a tool that helps writers be more focused and creative.

A lot of people are, though. I realize there are people who have no choice because life sucks and work is hard to find, but I'm not criticizing them. I'm criticizing the ones that choose to leave when they don't need to. We are all uprooted sometimes, but the goal should be to place those roots back in the ground and rebuild what was lost, not float around from place to place with no sense of identity or home.
Sure, it beat having to ride in the back of the bus. But to say that cars transcended race and brought car owners together across those boundaries is unequivocally bullshit.

I have a serious question for you, curious on your answer.

Can men “have it all”? Is “having it all” different for men than women?

My experience is that men are able to “have it all” often at the cost of their spouse making sacrifices to stay at home, with the implicit idea that this is the way things are meant to be.

If both people in a relationship try to “have it all”, some sacrifices do have to be made (speaking from experience), but I am not sad about these choices since trade offs are an inevitable part of life :)
>At the risk of wading into deeply controversal territory, I'll add some personal observations. One of the harsh realities I have seen is that it's very difficult for women to "have it all" meaning a fulfilling personal, family, and professional life, especially in the most competitive fields.

This is perfectly possible. Imagine your stereotypical 1950s head of household. Fulfilling job, family is provided for, hangs out with friends on the weekend, etc. Now imagine them being female.

The fact of the matter is that this life doesn't exist for just about anyone anymore. It just never existed at all for women because back when it was possible for large numbers of people to do this they weren't part of the well paid workforce. (It didn't exist for non-whites for similar reasons but I digress)

Part of the problem is that our definition of "having it all" comes from times when circumstances were different. Now, I don't think just giving up and saying we'll never have it that good again and people have to choose between family, work and friends is a good solution but it sure seems more tractable in the short term than recreating that level of prosperity.
LMAO - I work in IB and this is spot on.
> In 2018: "The top 1 percent paid a greater share of the federal tax revenue (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent)." Put another way - your local school would be in trouble if all you had were families on $40k sending 3 kids to public school, it's being funded by the family on $300k and sending their kid to a separate private school.

This kind of statistic would benefit from being balanced against the share of income and/or wealth held by the top 1%. Taking wealth, for example: the top 1% owns 35% of the wealth in the USA as of 2014. [0]

This proportion has been increasing over time, so even if governments were attempting to "bleed[] them dry" (I don't believe they are), they're not doing so very effectively.

If these people are actually your friends, maybe you should show them more respect and stop assuming that the reason they are single is that they are less mature than you and chose to “chase hedonism” and “Instagram followers” over long term relationships. Despite what you might believe, it isn't easy for every person to find a long term partner, and not everyone wants to do it at the same point in their lives.

Alternative thought here. Sony is one of the biggest players in music rights, regardless of whether spotify or apple music or Sony's own platform comes out on top, Sony makes bank on it. Perhaps Sony evaluated the costs of creating a streaming platform and figured it was more effective to stick to licensing. Streaming services are still making losses but Sony sure isn't with their licensing deals.

And in the film category, Sony owns blu-ray. Cannibalisation is a real reason not to pursue certain ventures. Blu-ray sales in 2014, when netflix was already established as a streaming service, were still above $25 billion. At the time it might have been deemed a poor investment to try compete with your own physical sales by creating another streaming service. Keep in mind Netflix doesn't even turn a profit in the billions these days, yet a declining blu-ray still makes more than $10 billion a year.

So I'm not sure outmanoeuvre is the appropriate word just yet, perhaps in time it will be, but Sony might still think its choices were the better ones and I'd probably side with them.

How to Build the WiFi Sniffer Kismet on Ubuntu 19.04 from Source
Just a piece of advice: try to take a step back and listen more carefully to the complaints you're hearing. When people talk about dismantling the patriarchy, or about racial privilege, they are not actually talking about any one particular person. You are fully able to be white, male, privileged, and still be an ally to those who do not benefit as much from the power structures in our society.

Instead of feeling personally attacked when you hear these issues discussed, try to remember we are all on the same team, fighting to tackle problems that are bigger than just one individual.
