Out of curiosity, I looked it up, and it seems like there's less than a billion years left for life as we know it on Earth before the Sun sterilizes the planet. That doesn't mean some of our descendants won't figure out ways to move farther out in the Solar System (or to other planetary systems), to survive it.

Its kinda a mash of Amazon food delivery and community supported agriculture. If you want to see smaller farms thrive, they have a pretty compelling service. So far they are Midwest only but hopefully they can expand, or similar services can start up in other regions.
Rerunning a comment of mine from five days ago, because it also fits here:

Rodney Stark says that the distinguishing mark of capitalism is that (at least part of) the profits are re-invested in better tools for productivity gains. In this view, "the existence of property rights, money, and the right to freely enter into contracts except when prohibited by law" are prerequisites, but they aren't capitalism. Capitalism is what you do once you have that foundation in place.
McKinsey & Accenture could do with some anti trust investigation at this point, they have too much of the outsourced brain work and strategy of important western firms executed in a cookie cutter way that then exploits the inside knowledge for future projects.

I didn't say it was socialism. I said it was bestowing collective ownership of private capital to the proletariat - which it very clearly is.

Or at least which it very clearly is quite close to. It's bestowing collective ownership of half of private capital to the part of the proletariat that works at that business.

NINJA mortgages. No Income, No Job, or Assets.

There is actually a good business in providing mortgages to people who have income, jobs or assets, but who can't/won't provide documentation because of their legal status or the nature of their job/assets. They are actually good credit risks because they don't want any of the attention caused by debt collection and/or bankruptcy proceedings.

But some mortgage brokers took it way to far to people who simply did not have those things.

FPTP might be the worst, but IRV is a close second. Just like FPTP it gives significant artificial advantage to a certain kind of party. Specifically, IRV tends to elect a party that is most people's second-choice party.

You might think that's good because such a party will have to be more centrist than what FPTP is likely to elect, but centrist doesn't necessarily mean good. If there is no competitive pressure for a party to be good, it will not be good, centrist or not. It will be centrist but will become just as corrupt as the parties we have today, if not more.

That's because this centrist party will not actually face the higher level of political competition you'd expect from a non-FPTP system. It will get second-choice votes it needs for a win very reliably, because both right wing and left wing voters would rather take this centrist party they don't like than allow the other wing that they hate to win.

So with IRV you can easily end up with the same centrist party winning the election over and over and over again.

Since we just had elections in Canada, fun fact: the last time around our future prime minister, leader of a centrist party, promised an election reform if elected. After his party was elected, he revealed that he only wanted IRV, and would not have anything else. Now you know why.

The difference is in fraction of seconds, from the parent link:

> The term GMT is now more commonly used to refer to the time zone at the prime meridian (0° longitude), in which case it is being used as a local representation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and not UT1. However, UTC is adjusted with leap seconds to always be within less than one second of UT1, so either use of GMT can be considered equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when fractions of a second are not important.
Yes. For the longest time I did not watch any "martial arts" movies, because I was not interested in people fighting. But Jackie Chan's movies are really primarily physical comedy: https://youtu.be/0ZFr4uiR5x0
It goes into my bank account either way. I trust the bank to accurately count my dollars and to give them to me whenever I ask, because they have a very long history of doing just that.

You're proposing a scenario in which all banks collapse and FDIC insurance fails, but also one in which my computer continues to be a productive member of the bitcoin network and my neighbor will sell me access to his bunker for 3 bitcoins. And my ISP won't be upset that I can't pay them in USD.

If I was worried about the collapse, I think I'd want to store my money in something with real value, not imaginary internet coins that none of my neighbors have ever heard of. Maybe gold, to be cliche. Canned food?

I think there is still a good idea to use the same environment on your own machine.

This doesn't mean it's wrong to use containers to isolate various projects from each other and your main setup.

Edit: I highly recommend using lxd on Ubuntu. It works very well if you have one persistent container per project or large component in a project.

Anchoring Authority
IRV picking up steam might also have negative effects towards people's general opinion of alternative voting systems once they see all the strange outcomes it can have.

But I think that the positives attention around it brings outweigh the negatives. The first (recent) overhaul to a voting system is more difficult than subsequent changes.
BGRA is a "weird" convention in the graphics world that goes back to at least OS/2 bitmaps, when there was no wrong answer, and has stuck since then. Since early GPUs targeted Windows (where BGRA is the native format for GDI/D2D), it makes sense that it made it this far :)
Er, which is the authoritarian party in US current US politics? To me, I'd say there isn't a clear answer. It depends on which issue we're talking about.
What do you do when votes lead to a plurality?
How does instant voting force you to vote for someone not perfectly aligned? You rank your choices from #1 to #10 or whatever. Wouldn't you agree that that's a finer grain filter than my #1 choice or bust? Voting for a party that has a ranked list of candidates is a nice idea, but that's what they use in Germany right? and I don't see it working all that well. Can you point out where this works well or better?

UK Startup Claims It Will Pay You $100K to Use Your Face on Robots
100 years is not a long time. My grandfather just died at age 99. The reverberating effects of the Russian empire conquering Finland in 1809 are basically never going to stop affecting my family unless we decide to move back to Scandinavia once global warming has made it less cold. :-)

It's reasonable to expect any major effect to take several generations to revert to mean. If the person who suffered the effect is alive and plays a part in raising a child, the effect will continue to reverberate.

>It's one of many reasons straight up MIDI sounds so weird

PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: MIDI doesn't have a sound any more than sheet music does.

General MIDI-compatible software tone generator in Windows 95 is no more "MIDI" than an untuned piano in an abandoned house is "classical music".

MIDI to music is what TCP/IP is for communication (incidentally, these protocols are of the same age). If you want to "hear" MIDI, turn on the radio. You will "hear" MIDI in the same way you are "seeing" TCP/IP now, reading this page.

The limitations of this protocol do have an effect on sound, but in a subtle way. For instance, implementation of polyphonic pitch bend / slide was not standardized in the 80s. As a result, it was pretty much absent from electronic instruments until recently. A new MIDI-based standard, MPE, addresses that.

This is especially curious coming from the company that does Google Fi, charging for data by the GB used, and crediting back portions of GBs unused, and also capping the monthly charge.

The 200GB/$3/mo to 2TB/$10/mo jump doesn't seem so bad to me. That's a dramatically lower per GB price ($0.015 -> $0.005). But then above 2TB it goes back up ($0.01), but worse is if you use 3TB, it's still $100/mo (that's over 3 cents a GB!)

I use backblaze for most of my bulk data storage (0.005/GB/mo).

This exists, it's called LabVIEW. I make a money by replacing horrible LabVIEW-based systems with nice text-based ones (Python / C / whatever- all are better than LabVIEW).

LabVIEW is ok if your virtual instrument fits on one screen. Anything larger and you are better off using a conventional programming language.

So here is one program with graphical programming: how do you make it compatible with GIT / source control? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying it's not easy. [There is a 3d CAD system called OnShape that does it].

I've been thinking a lot about electoral reform after the Canadian elections yesterday.

I've been feeling really disillusioned about the likelihood of abolishing first-past-the-post because of the current incentive structures, but is changing the way we vote municipally maybe the beginning of the answer?

The barrier to get getting municipal electoral reform might be lower because of the general lower stakes, shorter terms, and because it's a more direct form of democracy.

If voters are used to voting with IRV municipally, get to understand it better as a result, and perhaps like the outcomes better, it might be easier to get a critical mass of the population to demand reform.
Sounds like a pain in the ass.

It's already a huge pain dealing with know-nothings inside of tech firms. Now imagine having to cater to know-less-than-nothings somewhere else.

This is interesting to me because it’s such a cultural blindspot: the left-wing point of view is that energy efficiency is the only way forward, and the right-wing point of view is that more traditional fuels is the only way forward.

But solar panels seem to have a version or Moore’s law - and even a single doubling of efficiency from here would completely revolutionize our energy economy (and dramatically shake up world politics!).
Two doublings and we have a green future. Three or more doublings and we suddenly have the biggest energy surplus in human history.

It might be a little slower than the computing revolution - but it also might not be. If this is 1980, and solar is at the Apple II phase, the next 30 years are going to be wild.

Longer offsets between red and the intersecting green work better preventing accidents. In the case of the “engineer” i don’t know exactly the details of the Oregon red light law but in most states i know it counts the moment you cross the stopping line, if the light changes while you’re crossing or turning you still good. The intersecting traffic should not start until it’s safe to do so.

I share your pain. I was just last night on the phone to France because of a wrangle over a French bank account held by an Australian and German (me and my wife) both currently living in the USA.

I also agree with you on the tax front; at least with regards to the French authorities. Luckily Australia and the US are much simpler in this regard.
Maybe this is why all my posts are being downvoted, then. I obviously missed the boat on the whole "personal blog" thing. When I think of a personal blog, I think that the person is writing their personal opinion about something that they've concluded in good faith. This article, specifically, doesn't seem like it was written in good faith to me and so, as a result, comes off as nothing but complaining for the sake of complaining. I'm not asking for anyone to prevent people from complaining but I just don't think it has any value when even the complaints come from an inherently biased place that doesn't even acknowledge its bias.

I'm only saying this because I updated to Catalina without going through the betas first and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. To read something like this that is so negative about it seems like astroturfing or manipulation, especially when the only articles this website has ever posted on HN are all critical of Apple.

> The problem is coming up with challenges that are not trivial to automate and not annoyingly hard for users.

> I think trying to come up with challenges to beat botters would be prohibitively time consuming.

I agree that is challenging, and I think this question will need to be settled empirically. Sub-questions include:

a) What is the threshold for bot operators to engineer custom CAPTCHA solutions? (e.g. for a large website, how much can a bot network make?)

b) Even if it were not possible to conclusively beat the bots, what is the threshold at which bot operators decide that they would rather make their money off of other sites instead?
This is a problem with democracy in general; while constitutional constraints theoretically limit the damage the majority can do, in practice "the fox guards the henhouse" with regard to reifying those constraints.

One can easily envision scenarios where the milquetoast centrists defeat stronger positions that would otherwise have won in a two-party, lesser-evil scenario; on the other hand, it could just as easily break the other direction.

I'd argue that incentives towards consensus building are net wins for minority voters (in all senses of the word), because it puts the maximum number of voters in play for each candidate. Right now, there is a very real sense in which Texas Democrats and California Republicans have very poor representation; 49% may as well round to zero. (Proportional representation is also worthy of consideration here.) Putting those votes in play for third parties and independents makes candidates more responsive to the whole electorate rather than chasing a small number of swing voters.

Even if I manage to gain 70% support of voters, it will all be for naught if my opponent opens an even bigger tent at 75%. It shifts us away from thinking of politics as a zero-sum game.
As for NATO, it’s better for the big countries if they can hold Russia back in the Baltics and let them be the collateral damage. Sounds win-win to me.

And they get access to lots of cheaper labour directly (migration) and indirectly (outsourcing to people that will still buy your stuff).

As I’ve posted, the big banks in the Baltics are primarily not Baltic.

That access has its benefits, but also its price.

I guess I’m a believer that free trade works out well, well enough to create a system to support those left behind. Often the latter is left out however.
