> "Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values"

What's wrong with this?
Quite the contrary.

I used to work on a proprietary remote display protocol and the remote X11 protocol is seen as an anti-pattern in that space. X11 requires draw operations to be applied in-order, so every dropped packet means stalling the client draw pipeline.

This is one major reason why other remote protocols use varied strategies that look very different.

Wayland, in many ways, accepts that reality and moves the network-portability away from the core protocol.

Besides, hardly anyone does draw operations on X11 without the Xshm extension now days, so in practice, many apps are not that network portable. The toolkits go through great effort to make it sort of work. Kinda. If you don't look too closely.

That said, you could create a system that supports transparency similar to the old design, but I'm not sure any active contributors are interested in doing so.

One major reason for that is that most applications on Linux take advantage of communication buses while also completely disregarding the idea of supporting multiple sessions by the same user at the same time. So to have an application work over the terminal, get a session (d-bus, seat, etc), and then collide with other apps in a second session by the user doesn't make a lot of sense if at the end of the day the user loses state, or worse, gets corrupted files.
For Bitcoin specifically (by far the largest), the amount of computational power is now very large indeed. An argument often seen against Bitcoin is that of it's environmental damages - quotes like "it uses more power than the whole of Denmark!".

So yes, 51% control could be usurped by a dedicated attacker - but the resources are no longer trivial. And as noted, this "control" doesn't buy you a great deal unless you keep it going for eternity, and for the time period you do have control all you can do is basically stop it working properly by preventing new transactions - rewriting history is exponentially more expensive the farther back you try to go.
The main thing with Salesforce, or SAP, or other software of the sort, is the ecosystem and knowledge that´s tied up with it.

You can do most things you can do on Salesforce with generic software, but the know-how is explicit on Salesforce (think Open Source vs Microsoft). There´s also the backing, support, etc., and them being the original SAAS which I guess is the BIG part (that must have been some pretty huge savings back then).

There´s a team of Salesforce devs working next to where I do, and it does look very much like any other database frontend software, but with the sales vertical. Instead of choosing Java or .NET or whatever, they go Salesforce.
The key moment in the original article:

Lyme and other tick-borne diseases have yet to receive anything like that sort of attention. In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration approved a Lyme disease vaccine called Lymerix, administered in a three-injection cycle, that reduced infections in adults by nearly 80%. But it was discontinued three years later after sales bottomed out, due in large part to public fears driven by negative news reports over its side effects (most notably arthritis) and a class-action lawsuit whose claims were debunked. It was an early victory for the anti-vaccine movement, which gained momentum thanks to a now-retracted study linking autism to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine that was released the same year as Lymerix.

“That actually scared me,” says Joyce Sakamoto, an entomologist at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Pennsylvania State University who has researched public engagement strategies to improve tick-borne disease literacy. “That was a case where the anti-vax community was able to effectively kill something entirely without a lot of scientific evidence.”

Damned depressing.
I never used the MS versions, but spent a lot of time on the Amiga version of FSII by Sublogic. According to Wikipedia that version was closer to the featureset of MS FlightSim 3.0 than 2.0

I was going to mention these slips! We only got to actually use them a very few times. It was like a winning lottery ticket! I never had a collection but I knew how they worked and got to go through the process of taking them to the counter.
Tesla does the same thing in the latest software.

To configure car settings on the main display, there is a sidebar on the left, and settings to the right.

For example, select "Driving" on the left, and in the pane to the right you can switch the acceleration mode, or steering wheel effort, or regenerative braking level.

If you select "Safety and Security" in the sidebar, there are a number of settings in the pane to the right. The trick? the right pane is scrollable. Like realplayer. Move your finger upwards to reveal a [Data Sharing] button to disable sharing of car data/video clips with Tesla.

> You're taxed on money you are simply holding.

Exactly, and that is why it's such an abysmal idea. Wealth is capital and how capital is allocated to a large extent how fast an economy will grow. To take private capital, which presumably was invested where it could find the greatest risk adjusted return, and move it to another enterprise (presumably a darling of some vested interest) or worse to consumption leaves the overall economy worse off.

Taxing income, which is a flow rather than a stock, has distorts incentives on the economy as well but much more gently.
> I'm immensely just surprised someone would give away their $3500 to a stranger to make a rent of $70.

turo.com facilitates giving cars worth tens of thousands to strangers for less (per day). They do claim to be insured, though - but I'm not going to be putting them to the test.
Thus illustrating the difference between de facto expert an actual expert. And that you often get what you pay for.

For every four things I can catch that other people wouldn’t, There’s at least one thing I haven’t even heard of. Though in this case as long as the noun isn’t being interpolated I think there’s a simple in a fix for it.

You are much better off hiring someone with experience, and if you can afford it, a proper specialist.
While true, 20% of a large number is still a large number. It's easy to disregard these people, but they should not be disregarded. They have suffered directly due to the privatization of hospitals and the requirement to satisfy stockholders.

Also, I'm not against price transparency, but I'm highly skeptical that it will improve anything. The reasons should be quite apparent but price setters will settle on or near the highest prices since everyone in the system is incentivized to do so. It also doesn't solve the problem that many people pay a $N copay noatter what the price is due to insurance. And the third issue is the in and out of network problem.

When you consider all these, along with the lack of choice for pretty much everyone, it isn't going to change anything.
They do for certain diagnostic and lab services.

The problem with healthcare service is that it's not some off-the-shelf product - you don't know what level of work you need going in, and the need for more services may be uncovered later. Giving a price guarantee on something that changes based on the service being done isn't as feasible, especially when coverage changes depending on diagnosis codes.
Healthcare admin jobs should be drastically curtailed.

Cost isn't the only issue, time is the bigger one in my opinion. When working on a project and I need capacitors or whatever, they're like $.10/piece online. But I want them now. Would gladly pay $1/piece to be able to drive over to the store and get them today. There is nowhere like that around me, its so frustrating. I don't really care how knowledgable the employees are, maybe some do though.
>Which man

The author, Eli Broad. He's not just using words, he devotes himself "full-time" to philanthropy.

This is my confusion - everyone's saying "why doesn't HE do anything about it?" He is, is he not? And he wrote this article because he's " come to realize that no amount of philanthropic commitment will compensate for the deep inequities preventing most Americans — the factory workers and farmers, entrepreneurs and electricians, teachers, nurses and small-business owners — from the basic prosperity we call the American dream." So what gives?
> Isn't this pretty unfriendly to users? As an iOS user, I occasionally encounter apps written with Material guidelines in mind, and it's a bit jarring because they don't fit the guidelines of the device I'm using.

Personally I care a lot more about what app I'm using than what OS it's running on; I'd far rather have Slack look the same on my phone as it does on both my computers than have Slack on one computer look like apps on that computer but different from Slack on the other computer. Sometimes we forget that the OS exists to facilitate the apps, not the other way around.
your anecdote makes me understand a little bit of the value of cameo, despite otherwise being baffled by the product.

celebrity culture is fascinating, not because i care much about celebrities, but because its value seems on the surface of it both out of proportion and hard to pin down. and our emotional and social systems seem to be subverted somehow in the process.

the entertainment value of a movie, show or concert, and even their cultural value, seems somewhat straightforward, but how do we (over-?)value the entertainer beyond their craft skills? why do people so adore them from a distance, enough for something like cameo to have a valuation in the hundreds of millions?
That is not at all how the defense industry works.

The military invented modern procurement, of which sales is an important part.

There might only be a handful of countries any one country will sell to (50-75) but each country will have multiple armed forces, potentially hundreds of police departments, government agencies etc. etc.

Then there are private companies that may be allowed defence related tech, such as non lethal area denial equipment for shipping or oil in hostile areas.
Ask HN: Walking Desk?
I have a standing desk and I'm considering buying an under-desk treadmill to "convert" it to a walking desk.

I am curious to know if anyone here uses a walking desk, and how it affects their productivity. Is it something you find yourself using often? Are you able to remain productive while walking?
It's all about the incentives. What is the incentive in IPFS to keep data? If offering it to clients earns you money, what is the incentive to distribute it to competing peers?
The blockchain is the solution: A miner must distribute the data in order to claim the block reward (subsidy + fees). Nodes can prune/drop any data they don't care about. You'll end up with specialised and competing nodes where each node only stores a subset of the data - some data might even be completely deleted or only available in archives if it has too little value.
We need help. Possibly ways to acquire new models pis early, or get volume discounts.
It's going to depend on the platform, but this is a good tutorial for iOS localization [0].

Effectively, it's going to look like:

let alertTitle = NSLocalizedString("Welcome", comment: "")
let alert = UIAlertController(title: alertTitle, message: alertMessage, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

and the localized .strings file will look like this [1],[2]:

"Welcome" = "Bienvenido"

I think the deadly attack on Bitcoin is not anyone gaining 51% of the network, but rather DoS'ing its ability to conduct real transactions. Bitcoin is not considered a threat right now but if that ever changes, just remember the US government "lost track of" $9bn while "reconstructing" Iraq and it didn't even seem to concern anyone. That kind of money could make transactions prohibitively expensive on the Bitcoin network for quite some time if the government's posture towards cryptocurrency ever hardens.

I've noticed the more stridently someone identifies as a "free market" proponent, the more they seem to push back against the basic principals of a well-functioning free market.
The UN can say whatever they feel like but the notion of positive rights for able adults is arbitrary and unfounded. You aren't entitled to the care of society unless you uphold your part of the social contract and contribute in return.

Or in other words if you have a right to others' labor, then by not working you are violating their human right to yours, and therefore their obligations cease.

> You're describing inelasticity of demand, which has nothing to do with whether or not a market is free in the economic sense (that is, whether supplier competition and consumer substitution are possible)

Next time when a bone in broken in your body, go comparison shopping because it's a free market and you should get the best deal while your bones hang freely.

Health care is a special case not comparable with any other market.
Yeah, I made a typo. Fixed now.
I tend to disagree because it can be used to remove information not to add it. As OP said, the info about the number of “folds” was inaccurate so the content was removed from the video. The tool is also used to remove person information accidentally included from a video and is also used to remove baked in ad segments after the ad has ran its course (useful for content that the info contained rarely changes. I know one electronics YouTuber who had been pushing for this feature for a while, though not actually seen them use it).

We know YouTube has the ability to edit video, heck they have done it to their own promotional videos. But here is the thing imo. When a video is edited “in bad faith” we hear about it pretty quickly, when a video is edited in good faith (removing inaccurate information, ads, personal information) do we really care?

Not everything said online needs to be set in stone. That’s just my own opinion on the matter.

Also the dot marker on reddit only shows if it’s been edited after 3 mins. In a heated debate that’s penlty of time to alter “what you have said”. And atleast one of the high ups have been found to edit people’s posts directly in the database avoiding the “edit marker” to change the tone of their posts. The edit marker did nothing to prevent this. People speaking up brought it to everyone’s attention https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/5frg1n/tifu_...

US tried the same thing on India when the "Smiling buddha" was launched. I remember the sanctions rolling through and it was difficult getting medicines for most of the population. Perhaps this is the reason why India is the world's largest producer of generic medicine.

Also US refused GPS data to India during the Kargil war leading to India launching it's own GPS satellites.

Similarly, US forces were ready to attack India but pulled out at last moment due to Russia intervening.

I've got ticks a few times a year just running in the woods (the last one was Saturday). During holidays in the Pyrenees with my family, we had to scan our bodies for ticks every day, and every day we found several -- up to a dozen -- on each of us.

Now the article is very light on the main question: why did ticks multiply that much recently?

> I bought a board game recently where the board was so thin, it bent from humidity!

This is the case for just about any of the fiddlier board games and boardgame-adjacent things from back then. Often the story is some Chinese company bought the license and is churning out the same thing, but 10-20% smaller and all the plastic's 1/2 as thick at best. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em? Smaller, way thinner plastic. Hungry Hungry Hippos? Similar story. Loopin' Louie? Weaker motor. Over and over if you dig into board game nerd talk about these the advice is to find an original, because though you can buy a new one on Amazon it isn't really the same thing, and often barely works at all.

I think YouTube should also allow viewers to see what was removed unless there was a very good reason for it.

This should be true for video titles and descriptions too. YouTube is very opaque about this right now. Did you know a video can have a different title depending on your language setting? I'm not sure if that's optional automated Google Translate or written by the uploader.
You could fund the entire federal government for half a year with the wealth of only the top 100 people in the US? That's mind-blowing, and makes me way more optimistic about the practical effect of taxes on extreme wealth than I have been.
