skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The main difference is spreading out the control of the database to multiple actors. No single entity is allowed to make unilateral changes to the state of the database.

Moreover, the line between permisisonless and permissioned blockchains isn't necessarily about who's allowed to join but rather which identity they use. For RRR, the only reason we limit ourselves to permissioned is because we require long lived identities to prevent sybil attacks; otherwise it's as "open" as any public blockchain.
Nice to see services like these. I've been using AnonAddy [1] myself for a few months now.

Will do re GSM.

I guess my requirements is a microcontroller that just works. Let me elaborate.

I have a Galaxy S8. It has a:

* Accelerometer
* Barometer
* Gyroscope
* Hall sensor
* Proximity sensor
* Fingerprint scanner, Iris scanner, Magnetometer

Ignore the last bullet. It also has WiFi, Bluetooth, and GSM. I don't have access to any of this data without putting in some work, eg. I can't get pressure readings from the barometer, or my location from the GSM. I'm expected to just use them as is.

Now take the ESP-32 which comes from the other end of the spectrum. I can cobble together a setup with all the sensors and communication protocols (recognizing that the ESP-32 comes with a few built in), but I have to write/copy a mountain of code to get them all working and integrated. The same goes for something like a RPi.

What I would like is a board that has these capabilities built-in with an API on top of it. So I could say something like:

```
import easy_api as ea

my_location = ea.get_location()

if my_location == (1,2):
wifi_con = ea.connect_to_wifi("SSID", "PASSWORD")

message = ea.get_new_sms()

if sender(message) == "000-000-0000" and content(message) == 1:
ea.buzz_piezo(duration = 5)
```

It's ease of use for prototyping that I'm looking for.
Auto Express seems to be the source of those figures, which show that diesel cars as a class have (slightly) higher average mileage than Teslas, and roughly 33% higher average mileage than full electrics as a class.

Again, it seems like selection bias, in that those high-mileage drivers who can use electric do, and those that can't buy diesel. Presumably there is a cohort of diesel drivers who would switch to electric if they offered sufficient range or faster charging, especially as diesels outnumber electrics ~2.5:1 in the UK [2].

Running Spring Boot Apps as GraalVM Native Images
Thank you. If that's true I wish they would have just said so when people started complaining about it on Github. Everybody seems to have a different take on this.

Assuming what you're saying is correct, it seems much more sensible. It almost makes the PGP key seem superfluous, though I suppose it help with legacy this way.

It still seems not ideal, in that having one device compromised would give away your main private key and thus your whole identity. It would be nice to have it be some sort of subkey situation. I'd have to think about how that would work.
For people working on maintenance of old systems, a lot of those out of date articles are quite useful.
And even then, I remember trying to send a torrent magnet link to someone in an encrypted chat and it wouldn't go through. They're also doing some local / client-based filtering as well.
Great idea. It'd be great if you could select a game / category. Reason is I'd actually be able to have an actual chat with someone if I knew something about the game.
Sure, and we as citizens can hold these private companies accountable by voicing our concerns to our government representatives who can enact legislation to prevent companies from doing whatever they want.

Looks like you posted as I was typing my comment responding to the inevitable "why are the markets up" comment haha.

This news is better than the market expected. They had priced in an expected unemployment rate of 16%[0]. Traders dont wait for the bad news to make buy sell decisions, they traded off of what they believed the report would be and had forecasts made, sending stocks down on average. They were wrong, so the markets will adjust for whatever the new impacts are. Even if the actual unemployment rate was exactly the forecast, the markets will have gone up because the uncertainty in that part of the forecast will have gone away, and lower uncertainty means higher valuations, all else being equal.

What's the key difference between Javascript client side and nodejs in the post-ES6 era? For example Airbnb states "Symbols and BigInts cannot be faithfully polyfilled, so they should not be used when targeting browsers/environments that don’t support them natively". Are there more caveats we need know?
Agreed. I'd like to see something similar for the app stores, but don't think it would work with the magnitude of games and apps there.
With numbers like that, nearly everyone in the states knows someone impacted. The optimist in me hopes to see people demand universal healthcare, social housing, food benefits, and more so that everyone at least has a baseline level of stability.

The pessimist in me believes that this number will be used to prematurely force workers back to work, causing more illness and loss of work for those who choose not to return.
Maybe you're thinking more of traditional GUI / UI's? UX is pretty much fad/consultancy/design-driven at this point, though companies also exploit big data analytics in order to annoy the users the most without making them hit "X" (and lately it's anecdotally failing).

Both these things are true. 1. A line in the sand is arbitrary. 2. There are huge differences in the ethical behavior of companies (as there are among people)

2 is the one that is important to recognize and where we in tech should have conversations. 1 is a semantic distraction and an excuse to avoid responsibility.

Markets think into the future, not the present
You and I have diametrically opposed views on what "meaningful" means.

Donating a few million dollars to a few hundred thousand workers makes close to 0 difference.

Taking a public stand in the hopes of making a systemic difference in the long term could change a lot.
Well you don’t seem to be arguing over syntax.
That's what I've been doing since I was 12 years old :)

My first "programming" experience was with mIRC scripts. I even wrote an IRC client using mIRC sockets at some point, and a dummy webserver / SMTP client. When you do things the wrong way, you pick up a lot of new skills. I learned to "reverse engineer" (my implementations were trivial, not fully fledged) protocols with a proxy/sniffer pretty early :)

From there, the first use case I had for every new language I wanted to learn was write an IRC bot. I had written one in VB6, VB.NET, Python and even C/C++ at some point.

It's funny to see this comment on HN, as this has been my mantra for a while now. On top of string manipulation and networking, another important piece it teaches you about a language is using data structures and manipulating data.
IRC client is super stateful. For example, it needs to maintain the list of channels you're in, the list of users in those channels, their op/voice status, etc.

Highly recommended as a project for picking up a new language.
>I'm not sure why the WSJ isn't a "proper source".

The paywall I hit on this article could be one reason.
I think it's a combination of three factors.

First, central banks are propping up the markets and have stated they will do whatever it takes. That gives investors confidence that they wont face excessive risk.

Second, unemployment is not yet affecting that much the sort of people who invest in stocks, upper-middle class white collar workers.

Third, investors are still optimistic that this will be a temporary setback and things will return to normal fairly quickly.
The markets already know the figures are terrible and that’s priced in already. Unless the numbers come out worse than what the market was expecting there’s no reason for the market to go down on announcement.

Often the market will go up on bad news because the market had been expecting the news to be even worse. This sometimes happens when companies have a bad quarter that was less terrible than people had feared and the stock goes up quite a bit.
I'm disappointed this is the first time I'm hearing of that!

> What are the death rates? Is this based on confirmed cases or extrapolations from randomly testing the population?

Case fatality rate is defined as deaths per confirmed diagnosis. Estimates based on population testing would be of the infection fatality rate, which is a different measure. Assuming similar profile of cases diagnosed, a higher CFR could be a key indicator of greater health system strain.

> The question is number of dead in the long run.

Everyone is dead on the long run, when and how are the only things that vary and, generally speaking, sooner is less desirable.
How is it known that they are "functionally equivalent"? Is that common knowledge among virologists, has it been tested or simulated?

Amazon is a very problematic mega-corporation in many respects, not the least of which being worker exploitation. It really needs to be either broken up or socialized.

To me this indicates that the financial markets are a terrible measure for the economic experience of most citizens. They are their own system that’s not connected to most people’s economic reality. I have no problem with that but for national policies we should stop looking at financial markets or GDP but try to optimize for average income or purchasing power.

If you don't know don't guess. This is measurable. The primary reason cookies are so incredibly slow ot process is that they require parsing.
The narrative the market has taken into account ("priced in") the current economic factors is tiresome. If it did, we wouldn't up at the numbers we are.

The more likely scenario is the market is disconnected with economic conditions, and the low volume seen in this rally are the same set of market participants creating liquidity while the majority watch from the sideline awaiting more news.

I truly believe in the power of ownership, and have been working very hard to build a service that honors this with respect to media.

14 years ago I started working on it, and have experienced many ups and downs along the way.

Last December I read here about a company called Murfie shutting it's service down and I flew to Wisconsin to save it. I bought the company, aquired all the customers and assets, rebuilt much of their website and saved the million CDs that were in danger.

Now I'm in Arkansas getting a 220,000 sqft warehouse ready to take Murfie to the next level.

It is based on true ownership of physical media, and I'm doing everything possible to truly protect the rights of the owners of these assets.
The lack of technical details is unfortunate.

How far into the future, then? Over a long enough time span everything goes to zero. Are there no future consequences to record levels of unemployment? Everyone just goes back to work in the fall like nothing happened?

I’m guessing you’re a frontend guy. The two are only comparable from the frontend, if you’re developing a traditional app and want to use LS instead of cookies, it is certainly embarrassingly more complex as you’re forced into a JS intermediary to channel info between LS and your backend.

So, no, certainly not equal complexity.
Interesting, this is powerful. UIVision is using OpenCV/Webassembly for their image recognition features: "...run automated visual UI tests inside the web browser and on the desktop, powered by WebAssembly." (https://ui.vision/rpa/docs/visual-ui-testing)

You can install the free Chrome/Firefox extension to test it. In general, I continue to be amazed how powerful the web assembly concept is.
Remember 2 months ago when data from China indicated the CFR was 1-2%? And then it exploded in Italy and now we see CFRs in the 5-15% range worldwide? Yeah. I am really sick of flippant underestimates of the seriousness of this motherfucking disease. Deaths are still being underreported and no one has shown a statistically sound study of what the real infection rate is, even as it continues to climb, so both the numerator and denominator of this fickle IFR quantity have got massive errors on them.
There are many "potential" and "could", but there are enough "are quietly revolutionizing" to justify he hype.

> I agree that that's an unreasonable assumption which is why we developed RRR.

Out of curiosity, I would've hoped that the consensus in the cryptography community is that "secure enclaves" are pretty much snake oil to begin with... is this not the case?

(I mean... for a secure enclave to actually work, you need "perfect" physical security, "perfect" software implementation inside, and "perfect" design of the cryptographic systems around it... that sounds rather infeasible. I always assumed cryptographers would agree and that it's mostly engineers and lawyers trying to "ship the impossible" to do things like DRM.)
Absolutely. The current crisis drives your point home. We forcing workers to go to work and expose themselves, if they refuse, they are fired and ineligible for unemployment. They are forced to martyr themselves for the a system designed to efficiently move resources from the bottom to the top.
We have somehow convinced people that making other people rich while we toil our lives away is good.

7 is CDN, and is necessary in the case he described shortly before -- a "hot article". Presumably, a hot article will not get lots of repeat traffic from the same visitor (sure, someone might browse, but you're probably getting 90% one-time visitors). Cache headers do nothing here.. a CDN is the only viable solution... And frankly, using CloudFront for 3 years at work, I started putting my own websites behind a CDN because it costs pennies to do so.

This does not mean I disagree with your other statements, I too found it a mix bag of somewhat obvious or slow-server specific (not just low-bandwidth)

It’s anyone’s guess but the market being green means investors are optimistic about the future. Everyone going back to work is not an unrealistic scenario since there are countries in Asia that are already doing this.

Also keep in mind unemployment rates are expected during a pandemic. They are apples to oranges when comparing them to high employment rates during times of normalcy.

Finally I think it’s very easy for humans to overestimate current situations and underestimate just how easy it is for society to forget what it was like half a year ago.

9 Tips to Make Your NGO’s Website More Effective and Get More Donations Online
I used both _extensively_ and 'worlds ahead' is an exaggeration. Pexpect makes perfect sense if you need expect semantics in Python without using a FFI

Otherwise, I feel that a reason for favoring pexpect is because Python is not TCL and 'a lot of code' means using others' libraries for which you could not find TCL alternatives.
Did anyone else notice the ".ws" domain of the site and, not being familiar with the site, immediately think "that looks a bit shady"? That's been the long-time association of that TLD for me, probably because a lot of cracks/warez/virus (the computer type) sites used it, along with SEO spam and such.
