Externalities that aren't priced in are distorting markets and the price mechanism in the same way as subsidies. Estimation certainly looks tricky, but I'd hope they at least get the order of magnitude right.
It can happen once in awhile. I've been not-at-home the past few months and my mailserver fell over one day. I went to my apartment, turned it on, made sure mail was flowing, then went home. It had turned itself off again in the meantime. I drove out again, and turned it on, babysitting it for a few hours to see what might be happening. It's been up ever since, so, mystery. I would have liked a telephone/internet rebooter during all of this!
That's about relativity. Most of the people are conventionally (and clinically) considered sane while almost all of us suffer from all sorts of cognitive biases and unreasonable illusory beliefs. I don't know how many but I'm sure many people also have extremely low (hardly too much above that of a anon-lucid dreamer) levels of conscious self-awareness, introspection, rational reflection and self-regulation skills (not because they were born "NPCs" but because they have never been taught nor had to exercise these things). Yet, again, all these people are diagnosed as sane. So, when sanity standards are so low, it makes sense to introduce the "hypersanity" category to describe a person whose mindfulness and rationality skills are developed well above average.
I do not meant to defend either side. But the first comment on the NYT article has the following statement:

"""
Well dear reporters, you failed to mention the fact that the story actually first started on Facebook.
Some guy who claimed himself the victim’s brother posted on FB saying his sister was actually shot by her fellow protesters accidentally. This incident is now heartedly discussed on a popular online community in HK(https://www.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=28439217). Those who can understand written Cantonese can take a look.
Anyway dear reporters, those above may not qualify to be a reliable source but still...the “state-run” media didn’t make up the story out of nowhere.
"""

My feeling is just that the news report in modern time is simply no longer fact-driven.
Btw. There was another thread[1] which got a bunch of points and comments very quickly and got bounced out of the front page very quickly as well. Are posts about China/Hong Kong being penalized on HN?

what/where lone wolf hackers do to hang out

A cheapo router as in goodwill or bargain basement, that has nas functionality, can often find a home in starange places.
be creative about using other than factory casings, and find a place to piggyback some power, you will have a dead drop.
secure the router with something hackish for a password, and even use LAN encryption. Keep doing this as often, and as wideley as possible, and when you come back to maintain the drop, and review the dropped material to scrubb out the knuckledragger porn and flaming, you can reveal a number of precious gems. it doesnt need to connect to the internet it only needs to be reliable and have storage.
you may even get enough access points to mesh them.

Some tinnitus is comorbid with hearing loss, but some isn't. If you have hearing loss and tinnitus, it's possible that improving the hearing loss would also reduce or eliminate the tinnitus, as they would appear to be related. If your tinnitus is unrelated to hearing loss though, it seems to me unlikely that giving yourself and then curing hearing loss would have an effect. (Not to rule it out completely, given that the causes of tinnitus are not well understood.)
I don't think so, it means this isn't just gentrification.

Some illustrative paragraphs:

> If you want to hold gold and watches and sentimental things at a bank, you pay to rent a safe deposit box. If you want to hold oil or grain to use it or sell it next year, you can pay for storage in a tank or some other facility. And if there’s a surge in the supply of oil or a bumper crop of grain, and storage capacity is scarce, then you can expect to pay even more for warehousing capacity. If you want to hold your wealth in land, then you pay in insurance and security and property taxes.

[...]

> In other words, to store money at a bank requires the existence of some other borrower who will pay the bank. As such, just as you’ll pay more to store grain when grain is abundant and warehouse space is scarce, you have to pay more to hold money when savings are abundant but demand for borrowing is scarce.

[...]

> If negative interest rates still seem odd to you, then it might be helpful to just turn the question around. Ask yourself why you think that at a time of limited growth opportunities in Europe, savers are entitled to get paid for their wealth in Switzerland or Germany. Why is that something worthy of remuneration?

[...]

> In the meantime, there’s lots of money out there and a limited capacity to store it all. So increasingly, savers are going to have to pay for money storage services. And although it’s not much consolation, we can at least remember that whether it’s fees for oil tanks, safe deposit boxes, security guards, insurance, or wealth managers, there's nothing unnatural about being forced to pay to preserve your wealth.

They can get it painfully wrong last time. I came down with something like optic neuritis a few years ago. It's often one of the first signs of MS in many folk. When I googled something like "MS life expectancy", the blurb said something like "3-7 years" -- with subtext indicating it's 3-7 years LESS than average rather than "you're kicking it in 3 years".

Turns out I didn't have optic neuritis.

So, the Verge refers to data from two sources SimilarWeb and Statista, whereas your data are basically "trust me" and "absolute content creation numbers" (that is: not visitors).

And on top, you say you've built Tumblr's infrastructure.

Most of the comments from the last four months are actually whataboutism in response to criticism of China.
Probably people flagging it. I tend to flag stories that are "just news" and don't have a particularly compelling link to standard HN topics, or ones in which HN isn't going to have any particularly interesting angle to add to the conversation unique to the community's strengths, or ones that are coming up a lot, like this one. (I mean, yes, nominally everything is on topic, but there's still boundaries.)

There's a strong attractor basin around discussing the same news as everybody else that's worth pushing HN away from, in general.

I understand why you would want to set interest rates negative if your central bank is going to buy up all that debt, but as an individual or institutional investor why would you ever want to hold something with negative interest instead of cash?

Why is there even a market for a bond with negative interest rates at all, since compared to a $X bond with negative interest, $X in currency seemingly carries less risk, more liquidity, and a higher rate of return?
Your alternative then, is what? Forcibly pull them out? Prevent land sales in further out areas? Prevent building?

I think a lot of people prefer to write styles from scratch. At least I haven't seen these UI kits being used much around me.

Also it emitted embarassingly large bundles.

This video shows the technique that's closest to how I was taught to sharpen pencils for drawing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz9x49vG9Rk

It's important to note that the goal is to set it up for drawing with the side of the lead, not the point. (he demonstrates the grip and drawing technique it's designed for toward the end).

I mostly prefer 2mm lead holders though because I'm too lazy to spend time sharpening and figuring out what to do with the shavings.

I don't know because I know very little about schools outside the US. My best guess would be that they vary everywhere and this isn't US specific.

> Assuming you were in a city rather than a rural area

Before I was born and when I was younger there were quite a few farms, but I didn't grow up with them. So I suppose it used to be rural and now is a suburb (in-between rural and a city). My town has about ~30k people.

There are a lot of sprawling cities (and I _think_ Boston may be one of those) where it would also be greater distances to walk to a school. ..so I'm not sure being a city is correlated to short walking distances to school.
Is it true that seL4 has never "taken off"? And might it be too early to tell?

I am under the impression that the people behind seL4 have managed to successfully commercialize earlier other versions of L4 before seL4 was created.

Anyway, even if we grant the premise that seL4 has not taken off, that does not seem to justify saying that there is no money in securing software.
Ignoring critical context does not make for a good headline.

"Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism" is an incredibly light-touch headline that paints a different reality than one all Americans have lived in since May 2011.
Socialism requires a powerful centralized government. Powerful centralized governments have the means to great propaganda power since they control most of the media, and they usually need to use that power because the people won't always like the choices the government makes for them.

Although left and right are ambiguous terms, a generally agreed upon example of a socialistic regime on the right is Nazi Germany. Nazi is short for National Socialism. Whereas Soviet Communism was a socialist system with a goal of spreading throughout the world by a series of revolutions, National Socialism was a socialist system with a goal of spreading throughout the world via German conquest. Both aspired to world domination, but the means were different.

The market-based approach is to lobby - it's the fastest and most efficient way, and America's brand of capitalism has figured it out. Ironically to go with the more common market, you'd need anti-lobby legislation.
> The complete withdrawal of the proposed extradition bill

Reasonable.

> The government to withdraw the use of the word “riot” in relation to protests

Unfortunately, not reasonable.

OK, now it's no longer factual to say that it's not a "riot". I do not defend either side, but let's be sure to use the word correctly.

> The unconditional release of arrested protesters and charges against them dropped

Sorry, not reasonable.

What about the protester who is claimed to bite off a police's finger:
https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/30...

> An independent inquiry into police behaviour

Reasonable.

But there will be an independent inquiry being requested on the protesters as well. I am not suggesting that, I am just saying obviously Chines government is going to demand that as well.

> Implementation of genuine universal suffrage

Moderately reasonable. You are asking a country to adopt a different political system in a prominent area.

But if you want to retrieve the skin of a lion by asking politely, or assume you only suffer minor scratch, you'd better prepare to get killed.

> but as an individual or institutional investor why would you ever want to hold something with negative interest instead of cash?

There are no effective ways besides these bonds to hold tens or hundreds of millions of dollars as cash, even if you hire a warehouse, security, and store pallets of fiat (which has been attempted). You are paying a premium for principal safety.

You either make this choice voluntarily as an asset manager, or because you are required by regulation or other means to hold a percentage of your portfolio in this asset class.
These do not help everybody. For many people (including many of those who practice it and even those who "believe in" spirituality) yoga is nothing but a kind of physical exercise. As for mysticism - trying to practice it seems more prone to make you insane than hypersane, it's not for everybody. As for Zen - many people will probably just fail to get it, get bored and give up trying at some point.
Currently there is no way to tell, a solution to this problem would be by default the camera is physically covered and the microphone is physically disconnected by default. In order to record you would have to physically flip a mechanical switch to uncover the camera and physically flip a switch to connect the microphone.

Even with physical switches to uncover the camera(s), and connect the mics, there is still the possibility that the other sensors in the phone might be able to detect the sound vibrations that the accelerometer and gyroscope are picking up.

This is the same concept of some electronics that you may technically have pressed the power button, but it if it is physically plugged in and has no physical switch to connect/disconnect power there is still power flowing through it (e.g. car battery, servers, speakers, monitors, switches, routers, etc).

If they have passive sensors in them they do not require power in order to fully function and with phones having a battery they could potentially still record data even though you powered it off if there is still residual power running through any components that can record data (e.g. like a black box in cars and helicopters, boats and other vehicles).

You (the user) hold the master key. It's generated for you when you sign up for a Blockstack ID. From there, the authenticator generates a per-ID, per-application key-pair via BIP32 -- each app key is a hardened child whose path is generated from the key that owns the ID on-chain and the hash of the application's DNS origin.

Authentication happens completely client-side. The Blockstack authenticator registers itself as a protocol handler for the "blockstack:" protocol, such that when you click a sign-in button, you will be redirected to your locally-running authenticator (or to a hosted version of the same, if you don't have the authenticator installed). The authenticator stores your master key, and will derive the ID- and application-specific key-pair for you when you select the ID to sign in as.

Once you sign in, the authenticator redirects you back to the application. The authenticator passes the app the Blockstack ID and application-specific private key via the URL string (encrypted with an ephemeral ECDSA key generated by the app on sign-in), and the blockstack.js library fetches and downloads the user's profile to learn the storage endpoint(s) as part of completing the sign-in. In so doing, the application learns the storage endpoint to which to GET and POST user data, and learns the key to use to sign/encrypt it and to authenticate to the user's preferred storage (access to which is mediated by a Gaia hub that the user selects when onboarding).

Agreed that a deep dive with protocol diagrams would be handy. We're working on it! :)
"What appears to have precipitated this filing, in part, is that after the SEC told Defendants’ lawyers that they were likely to recommend filing of enforcement action, Defendants “moved more than $2 million in remaining offering proceeds from a blockchain address they controlled into other addresses, and used a portion of those funds to purchase more precious metals.” When asked by staff to not spend any more of the SEC funds, Defendants refused."

Here's an internet store I wrote around that time (1994-1996):

https://github.com/steveclarke/vintage-online-store

I wrote it just on a whim for the computer sales company I was working for at the time. I had the store fully working and taking orders -- it just needed to be kept up to date. The feedback I got back from the owners at the time was, "Why are you making this? It's just a fad. Nobody will ever put their credit card number into the Internet." So the online store died on the vine.
