There are definitely places where this works, which is what I think in part lead to the building of most tiny homes on a wheeled, towable chassis. Of course, that limits you though into building that class of tiny home, and I personally feel that smaller but more permanent tiny homes with a foundation/slab are still a very economical, usable and viable solution.

You're right though, I think the key to making this work without trying to get laws changed is finding the right combination of laws and solution/use case that remains within the regulations. This is definitely doable in certain locales and not in others. If I'm really going to make what I wanted to do work, I will have to find the right balance of factors.

I was so surprised when I started reading zoning rules for plots of land that I was looking at to build a tiny house - some had minimum home size requirements, others had explicitly outlawed the use of any such wheeled dwelling precisely to prevent people from doing what you said. Some of the larger plots of land that were quite inexpensive required a 2,000sqft and up dwelling to be built if they were purchased and used for residential purposes!

I think it's a bit of an unfair characterization. I don't use emac or CLI as my client, I enjoy a beautiful UI as much as the next guy but electron is a real bother to me.

I switched from Sublime to VS Code and went from 20MB of RAM usage to 500. Add slack, add discord, you now have GBs of RAM getting eaten up just for the UIs. Most mid-range laptops still only have 8GB of RAM, add a browser to the mix and it's a constant battle to have everything running smoothly, the programs frequently crash due to memory issues.
It's a real problem and not solely programmer efficiency-OCD.
Not bad. Thanks!
It's a bit weirder than this suggests. You are right as long as you have a complete basis you can transform code your function by a weighted sum of bases vectors, where the weights are inner products of the function against he dual vectors of that basis, and the basis vector form a complete orthonormal basis (we can relax that last bit).

So that's great, but what do the basis vectors look like? You need a family of functions so that scalings and translations of them have inner product 0 against each other. So this is easy if the shared support is 0, or if the +ve and -ve parts cancel out. It doesn't take too much playing about to see how this works with Haar basis, or sin/cos (i.e. FFT), so it looks pretty intuitive.

It also seem kind of intuitive that these might be the only way to do this... but that's wrong.

It turns out you can construct other families that work, unlike the nicely behaved sin/cos, or step functions, they are not smooth, not symmetric (at least for orthonormal basis) - quite odd. They don't have closed forms, so if you want to see what one looks like you'll have to realized it as a fixed point or by some other approximation method: e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daubechies_wavelet#/media/File...
I know similar things happened in Catalonia but no where near to this extent. AFAIR, Catalonian parliament was planning to hold a referendum on it's own and the Spanish police used force against protestors. That said it was no where as bad as what India has done. If Catalonia was cut off from the rest of the world, military deployed everywhere and no voices could be heard from them, Europe and the test of the would would go crazy over it. Also, don't forget Indian forces history in Kashmir.

May be Scotland and the UK would have been a better example but I wanted to cite something that felt a bit more real and relatable.

Maybe it could work for founders, but as an employee I would absolutely not sign on to a company whose space is a garage. First of all, it signals precariousness and non-seriousness. Second, I can get a job at any number of companies in more comfortable settings, so why shouldn’t I?

Maybe part of the difference is related to supply and demand: potential employees have other opportunities, so why should they make sacrifices for companies they don’t own more than 0.5% of?

Too often, people reach towards some abstract methodology like data collection to explain Googles actions.

On a recent Vox Weeds episode there was mention made of the environmental movement's early connections to eugenics, sterilization and population control, and how national parks weren't so altruistic when it came to native populations and local population subsistence. I have also heard opinions in the past that environmentalism in its 20th century forms was really just a white culture concept of aesthetics. I can imagine that if you scratch deep enough there's lots of dark stuff there.

Why has there been no major innovations in messaging platforms?
It seems like messaging apps have been the same for the past couple years. Images, GIFs and stickers exist on all platforms and the major differentiators between popular messaging apps are the networks that use them. Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Messenger are all practically the same platform just with different demographics. Are there reasons that this sector has yet to have major innovation? Google Allo was the closest thing to the next generation of messaging apps I've seen but UI and UX were very poor and the google Assistant was off putting.

IMO iMessage is the closest to what Allo could have been with Siri integration. Apple (as usual) is taking baby steps with said integration but I don't see a viable candidate. I would've though AI would play a major role in texting given it's become a very dynamic medium of communication relative to voice/video/email (which is a more formal derivative of text).

Thoughts?

I really despise Electron apps. They always seem bloated and antagonistic toward the native user experience on my platform (eg. inferior keyboard support, hard to integrate with custom tooling like AutoHotkey, etc.). Have I just not used the right ones?
If this tweet is accurate, Apple's choices here are pretty hard to explain as anything but "leverage / abuse mobile phone monopoly to kneecap competitors", especially because nowhere in this document does it actually describe how this makes users' lives better in any concrete, specific way

Electron is also using an old version of Chromium, and most electron apps are slow to update, making it more insecure than running the web app.
I generally try to stay away from threads related to Kashmir across social media because they tend to be toxic with people having absolutely no regard for democracy and basic human decency towards others. I thought HN discussion would be better and while it was a little better, it turned out to be more or less the same. In retrospect, I shouldn't have expected otherwise.
It’s not valid. Mesh networks can cross boarders to hook up to another country’s internet. The GP should have done some research before asking a question with an obvious answer.
I am sorry we let you down. I tried my best for my part.
> Also, don't forget Indian forces history in Kashmir.

Yes, this is the major difference between the two regions. But in terms of recent events, the main difference between Kashmir and Catalonia -- other than the lack of military involvement in Catalonia -- is the greater degree of oppression in Kashmir. Similar strategies and tactics were used by the more powerful polity in both crises.

> May be Scotland and the UK would have been a better example

Yes, I originally wrote that in my comment, but deleted it because it seemed too rambling. In any case, I wouldn't hold up the reaction of the Spanish government to Catalonia's moves toward greater autonomy to be some kind of democratic ideal.

Thanks, that's much more clear. I'm still confused about how you make that guarantee on the first 20%. You keep it in reserve?

Edit: generally, I wonder if you have a huge perception problem even if you've designed a responsible insurance product due to the fact that people are (reasonably) suspicious of taking on enormous amounts of counter-party risk from a pre-seed start-up.
Most cross-platform solutions are great in the beginning and then the problems start to come to surface as teams grow, requirements change, bugs are harder to track down, code needs to be updated, the next hot cross-platform framework comes along with new promises, etc.
Definitely someone over thinking it. "We don't want them to associate the car with crashing so let's use a generic word that doesn't make any sense without having to read 4 paragraphs on the marketing website".

So many startups do this too with product names, they fear whatever name will be too "limiting" and end up with some generic name that doesn't communicate anything at all.

Brand names shouldn't be taken so literally either, no one cares that "Vodafone" sells Internet and TV connections, not just cell phones. Or that Salesforce sells a whole bunch of products unrelated to sales. Or Facebook is expanding outside of social networks into AI and VR. But more importantly than the brand/trademark is the product names don't have to be all encompassing of everything the product does (or plans to do in the future).

People are smart enough to connect a name to a group of things even if the name is only about one of them. And a negative term like 'pre crash' is far more memorable than 'pre safe'.

You're not wrong at all. The major point of departure between the two is the role of government and the welfare state - Soros being more of a social democrat and the Kochs doctrinaire libertarians.

Now that US politics are going through a realignment, the two are becoming as chummy as they were always destined to be. The demonization from both sides was mostly kayfabe.
You don't have to like something for it to be correct.
Why does the US version need to have a more powerful engine?
Unfortunately, under the current interpretation of US anti-trust law (thanks Robert Bork!), leveraging monopoly to knee-cap competitors is a-OK if it doesn't directly hurt consumers.

The chances of anti-trust law returning to an interpretation that protects competition under the current judiciary are nil.
> Google Analytics

Website analytics should not rely on cross-site tracking. Breaking any cross-site tracking ability of GA is unambiguously good for users.

> Google Ads conversion tracking

Apple already proposed a mechanism of privacy-protecting click attribution. If Google doesn't want to use that, it's because they don't respect your privacy. Again, unambiguously good for users.

> Using same login across different sites like Gmail & YouTube

The only way this is "broken" that I can see is the user has to log in separately to each site. Which seems fine to me. In fact, this is a good thing; just because I log into Gmail with one account doesn't mean that's what I want to use for YouTube.

No they didn't.

They reduced the key space down to 56 bits. Which was small enough for government computers to hack even decades ago. The original proposal by IBM was for 128 bits IIRC.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/56-bit_encryption

That is interesting that the Wikipedia page you linked claims the contrary and makes me suspect tampering.

Because this story has been told over and over again, even in textbooks. See Springer's Understanding Cryptography chapter on DES for instance.

EDIT: In fact, the Wikipedia page you linked states

DES, as stated above, is insecure. This is mainly due to the 56-bit key size being too small.

So where is this nonsense about the NSA making DES more secure?

I'm not sure what you mean by this; WebKit Tracking Prevention doesn't break third-party login. Third-party login works by handing a token back to the first party, who then stores it directly and validates it on the backend. After the initial login with the third party, the third party isn't involved anywhere that the browser can see. And the initial login happens in a browser window that's navigated directly to the third party, making them the first party for the login form (and therefore able to access any saved login data from previous logins).

In fact, this WebKit Tracking Prevention Policy explicitly states that third-party login is implied consent for the third party to identify the user as having the same identity in these multiple places.

I don't disagree with your note on cross-site analytics (though there are some in my mind valid use cases, such as tracking conversions when the payment process occurs on a separate domain), but the tracking policy is fairly vague as to the impact on single-site.
Up until the green revolution population control was of great concern. The PRC took that to heart and introduced the 1CPF policy.

It’s arguable that this policy while very cruel and unjustly applied and which resulted in skewed gender demographics, had allowed China to prosper quicker than otherwise. On the other hand, in 20-30 years they will face a severe shortage of working age people. But they are autocrats so they may be able to manage that via central policies.

I’ve never understood this point of view. Shouldn’t every investor, regardless of scale, bear responsibility for their investments? If by small investors you mean regular employee 401Ks, controlled by the wealth management division of a bank, with a heavily diversified portfolio, that is still a risk the “investor” may be fine accepting. I don’t really feel bad for anyone losing money when they actively put it into a system of massive speculation.

Regularly report a summary of starred repositories
That is another example, yes.

But the NSA purposely dictated that DES use 56 bit keys (a strange choice of key length to begin with), so that it would be possible for brute force attacks using government mainframes. The original proposal was for 128 bits IIRC.

This was way back before many people studied cryptanalysis, which is why no one cared at the time.

I realize I'm probably a bit of a unicorn, but I've coworked in the same co-working office for over 8 years. The businesses in the office have changed and there has been some turn over in those years but 50% of us have stayed! Those of us who have stayed the past 8 years have cycled between self employed, and employed full-time, often years at a time for one company.

We live in a small town in Colorado that has never provided work opportunities in our field, but we've always been successful working remotely.

Small town co-working has provided a huge value for us: no commute, we're out of the house, camaraderie, friendship and support. Maybe this is an example of a profitable co-working.

I know that in these past 8 years the owner has done very little recruiting and the desks are always full.

Once you polarize people enough, all it takes is enough money to get an idea supported by a politician on one side.

The “other” side will attack all of the points weaknesses and then, because people don’t have the ability to just say “yes, this idea associated with my party is both expensive and stupid” it will be defended instead. Often by just a few people who like to argue.

But the defense makes it appear that people in the party support the idea, which then further solidifies the concept in the base as the back and forth continues. At best you will hope to work out the bad ideas via primaries and debates, but sometimes a bad idea that’s popular is going to hold on because voters often care more about how they feel than math.
