what makes me suspicious is that Document 187 got filed not long after the Atavast story made its rounds. So there was some time for this conspiracy to develop.

I really want it to be LeRoux. He would make an awesome Satoshi compared to Craig Wright. But I'm pretty sure the real Satoshi is dead otherwise Wright wouldn't be so noisy with his claims. Wright attracts a lot of attention so I wouldn't be surprised if he hauls himself out of a hotel window in some kind of freak accident (sooner than later).

note to self: Australia's major export in the last years was Julian Assange, Craig Wright, Paul Calder LeRoux and OpenSSL. (slowclap)

This is a really good point, and may also tie back to the role of American capitalism (to differentiate how it's done here from pure capitalism as an economic system). The "decline of the family" in the US has a lot to do with people not getting married or delaying marriage, and a lot of that has to do with how men see their role in a marriage. Men are delaying marriage in part because they want to be "economically settled" first -- they want to be able to provide for a family -- but changes in our economy have really impacted that ability.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I'm agreeing with you or not :) The paradox is that people have the ideals of the past but react in a way that produces the opposite result ("I want to be conservative, but I can't do it so I'll enjoy myself in the meantime").
it’s actually a shrinking sphere. as the expansion accelerates, more space moves out of view.
It really doesn't become as easy to work with. You still have to wrangle around the RDF "everything is a triple and attributes are URLs" concept, and even if you hid all that away you'd be attempting to gain something as simple as this design is. We just need a way to share & publish objects which link to each other. We don't need the graph model.

The family has declined in no small part due to the increasing portion of living costs that housing has occupied for many people.
I just don't think the US has a culture that considers feet to be a valid mode of transportation.

In some cases, I've found that to literally be true. I used to live a few miles from a large suburban mall (well, Castleton Square Mall is/was technically within the city limits of Indianapolis). I decided to walk to the mall one day, what the hell, good exercise. There were no crosswalks or signals to cross either the N/S nor E/W roads. No sidewalks. I recall no bike racks once you got there. It was as if (and I imagine literally true) there was no consideration given to any other means of transportation but a car. Other examples abound, but that one particularly stands out in my mind.
Existential climate-related security risk: A scenario approach [pdf]
The problem with clown gaming is latency.

Maybe it can find a place, at the right price (perhaps free), location, game type, mechanic and implementation.

Here, google says the base will be free, but you have to buy the games. But will publishers drop their price enough? Would a low-quality version damage their franchise/brand? Second, will publishers modify their mechanics and implementation, to hide latency?

The other way is with low-latency internet - so would need to be geographically close, like a city-sized LAN party. Perhaps Seoul?

Both need to begin as disruptions, selling their strengths (cheap, convenient, simple, easy), in circumstances/usages where their weaknesses don't matter (latency, bandwidth), starting small and growing as work it out. e.g. a fun game that only really works as a cloud game. (is that possible?)
> Yes, we probably already have nearly 1.5C baked in, but our children and grandchildren will still have a massive role in the future of the environment.

Another great reason not to have kids. They are going to be left to deal with the consequences of the 1.5C. Including war, famine, and the likely re-emergence of various fascist and totalitarian ideologies due to the crisis. Why would you choose to put people you love through that?
> before that, a man was required to cosign for any loan or credit a woman applied for (if you were unmarried for any reason, including widowed, you'd have to find a guy somewhere

Guess what, there was a reason for that (sort of): namely, back then it was the women who were commonly - indeed, almost universally - stereotyped as "unreliable, selfish and inconsiderate", and thus as bad credit risks. Again, it just goes to prove that character smears are wrong in the first place. It's not a convincing defense of parent's attitude, at all.
There are a concerning amount of incels and sexists in this thread. Please get off the internet and your toxic "communities" and get some help if you really hold such frustration and anger. Don't let it pent up.
What about the right to vote? That was a pretty big feminist movement. Or the right to own property/have a bank account without a male cosigner?
Good point. Although maybe a good percentage of people can imagine finding a social group at one or the other, noting that not all churches are evangelical in either theology or culture. Meaningful shared group experiences are important.
Sorry, but I call baloney.

I know you're just describing your personal impression and don't claim them to be universally true.

But allow me to present some evidence, er, anecdote to the contrary: I have also traveled the world and lived on three continents. I met lots of cool people and was lucky enough to make friends with some of them in all the places that I visited. I never observed the same as you apparently did, namely that they invested themselves in nothing but their career, traveling, parties, etc.

As a matter of fact, coming to think of it, a lot of the people I know (most of them college age) were also from abroad and made sure to stay involved with the family business back home as much as they could. Also, a lot of my friends were actually couples, showing that they cared for more than just work and individual leisure. Some of them got married since.

Of course, differences may be due to a number of reasons. What area of work you're in, for example. What geographical location you're in. And naturally, you probably tend to make friends with people that are to some degree similar in some respect. Also, there's varying degrees of peer pressure to like the same things if you want to be part of the in-crowd (or any crowd you like, really). Oh, and let's not forget: cultural background.

So I don't think you can generalize as much as you did in your post.
In a forum post from 2002, 7 years before Bitcoin was released, somebody posted something that sounds an awful lot like an early idea of Bitcoin ...

The comments in the screenshot claimed to be from 2002 are from gmail.com addresses. Gmail was launched April 2004.
I had issues with the save files corrupting them selves, and it happened so often that I had to stop using it. I suspect it was me inputing an invalid date or something but it was quite frustrating to come back after a day, or week and have progress wiped out.

While it was working, i loved it.
So I think this is a really cool idea, some feedback:

1. would love to be able to toggle whether the markdown syntax is shown vs a polished/rendered view of the markdown without the # symbols showing etc. For me the whole point of writing markdown is that moment when you get to see it rendered all nicely on github, and this hybrid mode doesn't quite do it for me

2. tags are cool, but a folder hierarchy would be more appropriate for notes imo. I immediately wanted to right click on the side bar and create folders, but that's not a thing.

3. Accessibility via web browser, as other people have mentioned, would be nice

4. ability to export any note to PDF or a single HTML file with inline styling

5. option to use github's exact markdown stylesheet

6. The whole note "status" thing I think is a bit niche. I wouldn't use it at all as I have project management software for that sort of thing. I would use this for storing random bits of knowledge, how-to-type stuff, research/project ideas, that sort of thing. It's a cool feature, I just wish it was optional and there were more options for how to organize the notes.
Likely the add agency hired by IKEA to put attention on this got the link wrong but the likes they’ve arranged rolled in just the same.
How many countries is the majority truly happy? Do you think they are in America? How many riots/protests have there been lately?

We're so polarized that families are starting to hate each other based on their political views.

I think a successful government is one that ensures the highest level of education for the largest amount of people, spends $0 on international affairs until ALL domestic affairs (like poverty, healthcare, etc) are covered or at least miniscule as to affect less than 2% - unless a 'true' war is initiated i.e. we're physically attacked by a nation (not terrorists that are from a specific nation), and regime change 'just because' is not even a consideration.

I think a successful government would also give 0 kickbacks, deductions, and rewards to any specific business or industry (except perhaps food/farming as needed for weather/crop performance considerations as we all need to eat). Money and corporations should have 0 access to politicians.

The fact is if you look at a graph of politics over the past 100 years, and how often the people get policies enacted that are 'popular' vs how often the rich do it's basically a flatline for us, and a progressive diagonal for them.

Popularity has nothing to do w/ politics --until we get more 'popular' non-career politicians into D.C. BrandNewCongress is an interesting organization trying to do just that for both Republicans and Democrats. It's like if X-factor judges could be bought and some nazily person who can't sing at all wins instead of the popular vote. The show would be cancelled in a heartbeat. But that's how America is ran.
Just to follow up, there are things one can do immediately to drive their carbon emissions negative.

For instance, pay people to plant (native) trees and restore ecosystems (or do it yourself). About $15/month could offset your entire carbon footprint and bring it negative: https://mossy.earth/

If you don't buy that argument for forest restoration counting ($15/ton of CO2), then you could also try some of the more expensive methods like sustainable biochar sequestration ($300/ton CO2). Even the super expensive options for offsetting CO2 are no more than a car lease payment at the individual level (and cheaper, of course, if you reduce your direct emissions as well).

>Bringing a child into the world to increase my own personal happiness, when nothing else I could do has such a direct and massive climate impact, is not something I can justify personally. Not to mention, my child would have to live to see the impacts of climate change.

This is a good point- imagine having to recreate, exactly, plastic foam manufacturing processes from decades earlier. How much shop tradition- "oh, yeah, the official design says we do this, but Bob over there figured out a clever trick that saves a lot of time and now we all do it instead"- might you have to track down or rediscover?
This is like the bartender telling you that "maybe you've had enough" and, instead of just not drinking anymore, you immediately calling an ambulance to take you to the hospital and get your stomach pumped.

Human nature is really weird. I can totally relate to everything you've written, and at the same time, I, as a father and husband, would love to experience a week like that really badly every now and then.
I certainly am.

The only thing I disagree with is the lack of a web client.

It just seems like you could save a ton of work by starting with the web client, then create desktop versions via something like todesktop.com.

Then you're spending less time on updates - it's just one desktop version, and the iOS + Android versions are just consuming data from your API anyway.

The author says paywalls are not the problem but as a reader I don't understand why the autors have to ask for those high prices. The articles you can find in Medium are well written but they aren't scientific articles, with a lot of resourses and time invested to find some data. And the way I find those articles are more like a coincidence than a specific search for economic purposes.
I think internet is changing abruptly because of an unsustainable ambition, we are turning all interactions into transactions.
That's easy to say, but how would you actually do it?

To use myself as a counterexample, I don't see the point, and wouldn't be inclined to help.
Except for the part where it appears you'll be able to play from a computer just using Chrome. This allows for all sorts of botting (artificialaiming.net for example has been making PC aim bots for at least a decade as I tried it out on Battlefield 2142 and it was eerie at what all they could do including the settings to make it even believable so you were unlikely to get reported. Sure that was using a lot of client-side data but that was a long time ago and now you can probably do sprite-recognition type stuff effortlessly on the user side of a streamed game.

Similarly fishing and mining bots and the like for games like WoW would translate to repetitive farming type activity.

Arguably I think being in a browser window would make it easier to do.
Unfortunately, I have a Windows computer and, as a student, find such monthly subscriptions quite financially unbearable
Yeah it absolutely sucks as a measure. You're better off manually counting languages that appear in job postings. That gives you a better breakdown of what people were actually hiring for.
True. But I think a big factor is housing. The home I grew up in (only my father drew a salary) is small by today's standards. But again, get a bigger home today, and then fill it with more shit.

People (read: their egos) are their own worst enemy. If you resist the status quo and "the Jones" it's not as bad. Perhaps not the same as before, but not as bad who tend to live beyond their means.
>Forget your feelings and stick to the key question - does the world need more people, less people, or do we have exactly the right amount?

HN doesn't have an unwritten rule about expressing emotions, and the person you're responding to didn't dodge any question. Given that the submission is about happiness, it's very much on topic to discuss children and happiness.
Part of the overengineering in J2EE comes from essentially trying to make one app server be multitenant instead of just spinning up one process per tenant.

That this came from a company essentially selling mini computers.

In fact, we are trying to do multi-tenant all over again. To my mind, this cycle of containerization is still trying to fulfill all the promises we were given in the early 90's about memory protected, pre-emptive multitasking OSes that never came true. Which itself wasn't the first time (it's all copying mainframe ideas, badly). Given all of the problems coming out about speculative execution and data breaches, I'm already curious what the next set of promises will look like.

> They are so used to live their own lives that they have extremely hard time compromising any part of it.

Reminds me of this passage from The Brothers Karamazov:

> “I heard exactly the same thing, a long time ago to be sure, from a doctor,” the elder remarked. “He was then an old man, and unquestionably intelligent. He spoke just as frankly as you, humorously, but with a sorrowful humor. ‘I love mankind,’ he said, ‘but I am amazed at myself: the more I love mankind in general, the less I love people in particular, that is, individually, as separate persons. In my dreams,‘ he said, ‘I often went so far as to think passionately of serving mankind, and, it may be, would really have gone to the cross for people if it were somehow suddenly necessary, and yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone even for two days, this I know from experience. As soon as someone is there, close to me, his personality oppresses my self-esteem and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I can begin to hate even the best of men: one because he takes too long eating his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps blowing his nose. I become the enemy of people the moment they touch me,’ he said. ‘On the other hand, it has always happened that the more I hate people individually, the more ardent becomes my love for humanity as a whole.’”

The speaker goes on to say:

> Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go as far as the giving even of one’s life, provided it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and everyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and perseverance, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science.
Agreed on the lack of a smooth experience. Re interopabiltiy: This mainly relates to the usual fact of markdown flavors/extensions and there, for example, being no mobile app with the same exact flavor of markdown
Because they can do immense good as well. The future has not been written yet. They have agency to do well, and I think that those who are able have a responsibility to pass on their values to ensure there are people in the future who will do good.

If only the fascists and pro-totalitarians pass on their values to future generations, then you're right there is little hope. But that's what we're discussing! I believe we have a responsibility to ensure that ISN'T the future.

Genuine question: does hashing with algorithm B an existing hash computed with algorithm A solve anything at all ?

I mean, A’s hash collision issues will just be applicable as well into B’s space, right?

And I would go for rehashing at next login, and, after a while, identify and disable (no login possible) the legacy accounts with their deprecated hash, forcing users to change password at their next login (if it comes one day, that is).

(Also, I would not use a Boolean, but some integer to identify what is the current algorithm to use, to cope with future deprecation, but really a small implementation detail here)
the Church-Turing thesis is the bedrock of computer science, without which it may not even be a science. It defines, scientifically and uniquely, what computing actually is, thus separating computer science from the other sciences and turning it into its own field. You can't possibly argue that this is a small contribution.
What are we doing to ourselves and our kids?
