What other kinds of namespaces are people thinking about?

> The same thing is an issue with traditional international transactions, but settlement systems like Ripple offer very fast transaction times (seconds instead of days) and reduce exposure to exchange rates, which makes them much cheaper to use.

Ripple is not decentralized, which is why it's cheap. That also just makes it a direct replacement for SWIFT. You can do that without blockchain. You can stand that up in a single RDS instance in about 5 minutes flat, and hash the previously appended rows in a Merkle tree like we've done for eons.

> BTC throughput is artifically capped by its developers to 7 transactions per second (globally), which causes ridiculous bidding wars for transactions. This is not an issue with most cryptocurrencies that have large throughput as one of their main design goals.

There's no truly decentralized cryptocurrency that even comes close to satisfying simultaneously having anywhere close to the transaction throughput of Visa (just one of many processors) while also satisfying the verifiability goals of being able to download the blockchain onto your computer. Because they're competing goals.

> Cryptocurrencies do not have to rely on Bitcoin's way of doing things. There are energy-efficient ways. A single Bitcoin transaction may consume 700 kWh, but a Visa transaction consumes 0.006490 kWh and a Ripple transaction consumes 0.0000113 kWh (http://papers.netrogenic.com/sid/eco-friendly-money.pdf).

Ripple is not decentralized which is why it's efficient. There are no decentralized, efficient coins. It's also not even close to a fair comparison. They're only counting the electricity consumption of a few validator nodes in that link of yours, and they cap out at 1500TPS, Visa supports 50000TPS.

Further XRP is just a distributed inter-bank ledger. Visa isn't a comparison for that, something like SWIFT is.

> These are not actual transactions. TransferWise can offer cheap rates only on well-balanced corridors because then real money doesn't have to move. If USD->INR payments have a volume of 1M per day and INR->USD also has 1M, then they don't have to move any money and can bypass the whole international transactions side of things and associated fees and locally pay out the same money that was deposited into their accounts.

I have no idea what this means. You do know bags of money don't make their way onto boats every time you make a forex transaction right? The exchange rate is determined by the price that requires no physical currency to leave one country and move to another. Which makes it incredibly efficient. And very real.

> If international transactions were cheap, there would be no need for middle-men like TransferWise.

They're a provider of cheap international transactions. International transactions are cheap.
Sometimes it can actually be more efficient, since more bits are wasted with indexing. Random example: 1234 opcodes, 12 registers.

1234 * 12^3 = 2132352 (22 bits)
1234 is 11 bits, 12 is 4 bits
11 + 3*4 = 23 bits

so in this case, using indexes is less efficient by one bit per instruction.

Let this be another lesson in sheltering your children too much. The real world is full of psychopaths and sycophants who can smell that naivety a mile away. The only way to fully internalise this is by being burnt. Again and again. Slowly one learns to see the telltale signs of self-interest and look past the smiles and colourful verbiage.

> Has anyone been through this who managed to recover their optimism and
creative spirit? Please help me. What can I do?

If you've come from a baseline of over-optimism your outlook sounds healthier now. Many look to start a family and coast through the next 30 years once they become disillusioned with their career.
I live alone and ended up going to live with my parents during this whole thing, since I can do my entire job remotely. It's largest amount of contiguous time I've spent with them in about a decade.
I work at Google but don't have any visibility into this project, nor do I speak for Google on this. My uninformed guess is that the answer is more precisely:

5. They very much want this project to succeed so that it can save lives. They know privacy concerns are (rightly) an existential threat to the success of the project, so they are trying to address those by drawing this firm line.

It's not 1 or 3 because anyone can look at the location data Google gathers on them and judge for themselves if it's crap. Just search for "view google location history" and it will take you right there.

I think 2 is pretty close to the mark. Despite HN's understandably cynical take, everyone I talk to at Google cares a lot about user privacy.
For this kind of (read: simple) static analysis, yes, the design and generation of the AST is the dominant factor. For more advanced techniques usually you'd start with an AST directly to not have to deal with parsing and then work on that.

> The outcome described by Aristophanes is common in competing human groups or organizations: When bad behavior has taken root, and that bad behavior has a “survival advantage” against good behavior, it becomes difficult, and occasionally impossible, to drive out the bad behavior; a process akin to natural selection.

This is the mental model reference I was thinking about when posting.
I only zone out in meetings with no focus. Provide an agenda which describes what you want to talk about. This helps me identify my value and not begin to immediately wonder how long this aimless meeting will last. Describe the problem this meeting wants to solve and why you can't solve it by yourself. People schedule meetings and expect attendees to do the work on making the meeting successful.

It's not my responsibility not to be bored, it's the organizers responsibility to be engaging.
they are right though. look at the other comments.
That's one of the reasons why I created dnsadblock.com (besides the fact that I couldn't use it while traveling). It shows a page with a message if the request was blocked (ex: http://tracking.blocked.dnsadblock.com/#/) but only for regular http traffic because I don't want to go down the route of playing with certificates to make it work on https.

I think I managed to have the blacklist/whitelist easier though by creating an activity log page that shows exactly what was blocked and allowed and on what device - in near real-time. Fun project at first but I didn't know what I was going into at first.

It is a bit frustrating when starting but, once you start whitelisting what was blocked by mistake, you will see that it gets easier, almost unnoticeable by a week or so.

I always had uBlock and disconnect.me and it still blocks, somewhat consistent, about 16% of the traffic which is a big number considering.
I've been doing the same (using Wireguard for DNS), except PiHole is running inside a Docker container on my Pi4 (I have a FTTH line, with a public/static IPv4 address). My ISP also started assigning /64 IPv6 nets to whoever requests one, so I might try that next
> Apparently schools can let children move on no matter what.

Colleges could also snap their fingers and mail everyone diplomas in exchange for nothing, if they felt so inclined.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that schools aren't just meaningless certificate factories and that the students who attend them actually learn stuff. Just because the students are being moved up doesn't mean they're adequately prepared for next year.

I like that physical button solution. Do you have a github repo or blog post documenting how you did it anywhere?
UB started with the right observations, but arrived at the wrong means prescriptions. He wandered off alone into the weeds, in both senses.

A wiser realization is that it's those in established power and the rich who are actively or willfully ignorantly sabotaging the planet and condemning billions of people to relatively more poverty, misery, disease, and death.

A million people nonviolently showing up to the seats of power, arresting crooked politicians and their enablers, and fine-tuning what cannot be fixed (by any POTUS, SCOTUS, or COTUS) from within (separation between church and wealth and state, public campaign financing, clean elections observed with exit polls and international observers, de-emphasized celebrity political promotion perhaps by lottery [as the ancient Greeks] rather than mainstream media popularity contest) are the necessary first steps before fixing anything else.
The tool is called a schedule. You write what you should be doing at that time in the schedule. It does not run your life, instead it is the most optimized use of your time and it's up to you to follow it. After many false starts you will eventually adhere to the schedule, but only if you are truly interested in what you are learning and not learning it because you think you should. My personal method is take something I want to learn, and then all the boring pre-req parts become a research project instead of starting like everybody else does with the boring pre-req parts and failing before you begin.

I already have a home server so I run the pihole container with Podman. Pretty slick. It started as a quick project and then permanently tied up my raspberry pi because the adblocking was so awesome I didn't want to shut it down.
I think it is excellent advice for someone who work by themselves and try to find some joy in coding after being in a rut. Yes, some conventions do emerge when being in a large team, it is inevitable, but this is not what this guy needs. Git + Trello is enough for personal projects or small teams. Anything else is a bonus or something you will add down the road and that includes testing or whatever other best practices. There are many jobs, especially in a non tech environments where you can be a sole dev or a part of a very small team, real small and mid businesses that generate value and are much more fun to work for for certain types of personality.
Quite unlikely they did not try. Reflectance pulse oximetry is unfortunately affected a lot by ambient light and so, even for the Apple Watch, that might have caused unreliable measures.

Using the ECG for RR estimation though should be more than feasible...

Well not if once you use the new API specifically made for contact tracing, right? Since the bluetooth scanning will be done by a lower level system run by play services, the app itself doesn't need the permissions.
Yes, it's basically the same! NES Tetris has color though, so that's my preferred version.
I'm running through similar thoughts with this article. I graduated from college in 2006. My job survived the 2008 crisis. I rode out and built a stable life. I started a startup in 2011. Our product did not make it. I've been working on freelance and consulting gigs since then for small and big companies. My independent career taught me to be resilient: always saving, don't overspend. Your company does not have your backs. You need to take care of yourself and your family.

I notice I become less optimistic over the years. I got comfy with my successful gigs. To counter those trends, my important lesson is: keep learning. I got started as a C#/Java/C++ programmer. Over the years, I learned Rails, nodejs, React. I adapt to the new gigs. Heck, I even created a cryptocurrency. :)

Now, we're hit by a pandemic. My gig comes to an end. But I'm ready for the next thing. It's pretty exciting. Check out my new project built on redwoodjs. :)

PS: I'm available for work if you need Rails, nodejs, React. :)

i'm about 40 yrs old - been working in tech (with linux) since the late 90s. gave my life to it, lost my physical and mental health; burned out numerous times. can't stand this industry anymore.

moral of the story: 99% of people still don't understand the nature of software. very few people--like rich hickey (clojure), or fpb (mythical man-month)--seem to get it. tech is mainstream and most people are missing historical context and experience.

(the goals of capitalism are typically at odds with building systems of the highest quality--and understandably so.)

the only creative spark in computing i have to sooth myself anymore is reading lisp or unix books from the 80s and 90s, because the content is so thoughtful (given the culture and smaller community at the time). the internet has become ruined by advertising and bloatware, and the culture has largely been ruined by bad habits and misunderstanding, imo.
The issue (at least to me) isn't that they can point to a policy that Icke violated, it's that they are arbitrarily ignoring other videos that violate the same policy.

An easy example is that if YouTube chooses delete David Icke's account instead of just demonetizing him, why are they only demonetizing anti-vax accounts but not deleting them? Surely the anti-vax movement has harmed more people than David Icke. Any cynic would notice that David Icke's supporters are crazy but far-right politically, while the anti-vax supporters are crazy but far-left politically. This is a bad look and lets the far-right crazies play the victim card.

A consistently applied and principled set of policies would either let both sets of crazies have their voice, or neither of them. Letting them both have their voice would let YouTube claim to be more of a "pipe" and not have to spend as much effort moderating their content. Censoring both sides obviously takes more effort but is at least defensible. What they have right now is that they spend effort moderating content, but still take flak for it because it looks like they are picking and choosing based on the political winds (which is great when it's your side winning, but the winds can change direction at a moment's notice).
Be aware that the [trusted=yes] config disables GPG signature verification for the repository, which does slightly break the security model of Apt (where repositories can be untrusted/HTTP-only as long as all packages are signed by trusted keys).

Unless I'm mistaken, a malicious package with the same name as a critical system package could be added to that untrusted repository by an attacker who had compromised it, and if the version number is higher than that of the 'official' package and your Apt priority config prioritises it, your system would download and install it without any verification.

This is a fairly niche attack vector that may not be considered a significant risk in some environments, but it's one to consider when establishing your threat model and risk appetite.

As a side note, it's worth noting that GPG signing packages is not a silver bullet either, especially if the signing keys and administrative access to the repository fall within the same security boundary (e.g. developer doing both from their PC without any segregation/sandboxing). However, it has proven to be a robust method so far, and definitely beats explicit [trusted=yes].
Ah I see, but also not entirely true either, they were divided internally as well. There are 5 commissioners, 2 of them were actually pro NN, the other 2 + chairman Pai were against it, so they were overruled.
FWIW SARS-CoV-1 specific antibodies last approximately 3 years or so [1]. The antibody test all have a very high specificity (all I've seen have been 98%+, but I'm going off of memory and not any specific cited information), so you'll for sure know you had it.

OP mentioned "the most popular news outlets". I expect that there's pretty good intersubjective agreement about which entities are in or out.

It's true in one sense that there's no such thing as "the media". If "the media" is just "the set of people who write things about current events that other people read", then I, too, am a member of the media. Groovy.

But this is an isolated demand for rigor. If you look at who's employed by "the most popular news outlets" (which can be relatively objectively determined through subscription numbers), you cannot help but notice that they are a rather distinct class. They come from particular schools, live in particular cities, have particular points of view including suppositions so basic that they often do not even realize that they hold them, understand themselves to be accomplishing particular professional and social objectives through their work, and so on and so on. None of these qualifications are strictly categorical, but as a statistical matter they are so robust as to be tedious. Which is all fine, so far as it goes, but the concept of "the media" is "a thing" inasmuch as it allows you to concisely name patterns and regularities that exist in the world. And there are an awful lot of patterns and regularities to be noticed.

Incidentally, Orwell made precisely the same point (about a distributed, decentralized press that coordinates through shared cultural background and sense of what's simply Not Done) in a proposed preface to the first edition of Animal Farm. The free, decentralized, totally-not-a-thing British media declined to print it.

What are they doing to keep it out of the rest of their long term care facilities? Note that they have over a million people over sixty. And if you redo their numbers assuming the CFR is roughly known in the different age brackets, things could get much much worse. (That is, the CFR in WA is in very low numbers holistically. For the sixty plus? It is over 15%!!)

So, unless they have something protecting them, just reopening slowly didn't really have a mechanism to protect them.

Now, they could go for herd immunity in care workers. Rotate in those with antibodies, and you are simulations how we protect the elderly from the flu.

But just slowly reopening? What is the mechanism that is expecting a change?
