Eh, no, that description doesn't do that, a better description is what is above it because it actually mentions what it does and provides. The part quoted in the message i replied is largely implied by the word "framework". Of course it isn't a bad thing to be explicit (especially since some people may think that framework is just another word for library), however it isn't any clear about what the framework does.

For example think of MFC: you know what that framework is all about (Windows GUI applications), yet the description could easily fit with MFC (and indeed all of the above have been implemented on top of it).
I like the units explanation a lot more. Saying you can't put two tables together when you clearly can in the real world is seems deeply unsatisfying. Kids hate being told they can't do something.

It's ironic that, in fear that Wikipedia is an information monopoly, someone would turn to the Encyclopedia Britannica, given how many supporters of Wikipedia have historically been seeking an alternative to the centralized print encyclopedia model.

In my view, the two biggest factors driving lockdown resistance are 1) the pivot from 'flatten the curve' to 'lockdown until the virus is gone', and 2) the open-ended plans to ease the lockdown 'when it is safe' without defining that. It would be easier for people to endure the lockdown requirements if there were clear metrics, plans, and communication.
Drew DeVault has a good blog article about this problem. Choice quote:

> I used wget to download all 1,217 of the W3C specifications which have been published at the time of writing, of which web browsers need to implement a substantial subset in order to provide a modern web experience. I ran a word count on all of these specifications. How complex would you guess the web is?

> The total word count of the W3C specification catalogue is 114 million words at the time of writing. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications.

Sure, but there’s a big difference in that “communist bandit” is considered a slur and wumao is a widely accepted term. Maybe Google could say the former is considered offensive but there’s no defense for the latter.

I really despise how the term "fake news" can now liberally be applied to any dialog that challenges the status quo. There are legitimate conversations that should happen around broad surveillance, shutting that down because some actors derail the topic with wild unsubstantiated claims is just wrong.

With such a huge signal/noise ratio for information these days it seems we are rapidly heading toward people not thinking for themselves and deferring to 'approved' sources of information. All the 'fake news' will be taken down, this will include dissent obviously.

I worry for the future.

People accept contact tracing and don't see how this is exactly what the Chinese govt. have been doing for a number of years, something we used to reject as authoritarian and against western ideals. It's astonishing what we have lost in such a small period of time.

Any policy made today will almost certainly be carried indefinitely forward, the the "new normal". Another term that horrifies and depresses me.

> Concerns about the govt collecting massive, potentially identifiable data on an individual level for an application that they originally mandated everyone had to use to travel, is not "fake news". Perhaps one may feel such concern was unwarranted (and I disagree there), but how is that "fake news"?

I'm not the OP but from what I've heard there's a mix of genuine concerns and conspiracy theories about this (as often happens), and its quite hard for a layperson to understand what to believe. I read the OP as saying "finally, we get to see what's really happening and can thus determine if the concerns for data privacy are legitimate and put the conspiracy theories to rest"

If you'll entertain my clueless guesswork:

If it could be used to greatly accelerate SMT solving/constraint solving, perhaps it would be possible to run a formal model as if it were code, i.e. fast and scalable constraint-based programming. That's about as high-level as you can get, short of a requirements document. I'm not sure if that's the kind of symbolic mathematics that's being studied here, as they seem to be looking at mathematically interesting expressions, rather than boring-but-enormous constraints.

Or, somewhat related, perhaps it could be used to help scale formal verification with languages like SPARK and ZZ.
Main-instance Mastodon (run by the main dev) has made moderation choices that people disagree with. It means conversations here always brings out this same group group of people that disagreed with all these decisions and somehow believe their speech (their bytes) must physically be shipped to everyone else in some network, and must be examined by everyone on the network so that others can decide for themselves whether to listen. I've literally had conversations on the Fediverse where people expected and wanted blockchain-like replicas of their content onto everyone else's computer. And for everyone else to read it.

This group of people have shifted to this position because they no longer have the "de-platform/systemic-censorship" argument that arises when someone is banned from a centralized service, resulting in a total loss of access to the entire platform. Conversely, on the Fediverse they're still there but simply can't talk to some % of users. And that can easily be rectified by being a part of multiple communities and abiding by their rules.

I've tried to write about how ActivityPub (which Mastodon uses) is not a censorship-resistant network and that the point of Federation is to build lots of custom communities and have them politely talk to each other, or ignore the ones that violate community's expectations [0]. Feedback I literally got from here on HN was "I'm disappointed in you", when I think it's an accurate and realistic view. Especially when standing in the shadow of FreeNet.

The same liberty of free-speech and free-association that lets a far-left community thrive, and a far-right community thrive, also lets them block each other (which is a good thing -- it would be ugly otherwise).

Doesn't that kind of problem get easier at large scale? It's like any time you have a limited resource to share out. e.g. if an ISP has 150mbits of connectivity, it would be difficult to provide a '100mbit' service to two homes - one busy user will clearly hit the other. But if you have 1500mbits to share out to 20 homes, the service will seem much better. As you scale up, it becomes easier to provision less per customer.
The comparisons are all to large content management systems. However this seems like a better fit for static site generators. Would it be better to compare to Jekyll, Hugo, etc?
Since HN seems to be on a blog-kick lately, I'll repost the idea that I'm still waiting for someone to build:

A blogverse of some kind that allows for algorithmic discoverability & aggregation (ala Medium) without the bullshit/terrible UX.

The real value proposition of Medium is that a well-made aggregator benefits readers and writers alike. Readers find more authors they like, writers find more audience. There are also network effects with shared comment logins, inter-blog citations, etc.

I really think a blogging renaissance is waiting to happen. These ingredients plus a business model not reliant on ads, massive js overhead, and other nonsense could jumpstart it.

let's not get sidelined on the same minutiae over and over again. lockdowns could have, and should have, been replaced with 2 simple rules:

1. either physically distance or wear a mask around groups of strangers, particularly inside.

2. if you get sick, self-quarantine (and go see a doctor).

that would have been 99.9% of the reduction in transmission risk for 0.1% of the cost of lockdown, with a bonus of providing time for medical workers and epidemiologists to provide care, mitigations, and develop containment strategies (like tracing).

the reasons we haven't boil down to news-fueled panic/anxiety crossed with political calculation, with a bonus of shifting the losses to the disadvantaged.
They need to keep them financially and legally separated, but Corporation is still allowed to make some money transfes to Foundation (but not the other way around).

The 1st generation Chevy Volt works (almost) the same way as a Prius, and does not normally operate the way you've described it. The 2nd gen is similar, but borrows some of the "2-mode hybrid" design from the 2008-2012 Chevy truck transmission (in order to have two gear ratios in electric mode--much more elegant than the Taycan).

Both have a planetary gearset with engine on one gear, output on another, and an electric motor on the third. The difference lies on which gear the second electric motor is placed (motor shaft on the Volt, output shaft on the Prius), as well as some additional clutches and brakes in the Volt.

Thats actually a pretty sweet idea. Only take the generator with you when you need it.
> The flaw can be argued to be in the products' implementation of the standard or the standard itself. I do argue for the flaw to be in the standard because the standard doesn't do what it's name suggests: standardize. Instead it has balkanized (not on its own of course, but by allowing implementers too much of a choice and too few hard rules, too much SHOULD instead of MUST).

So you call people out for their shoddy products until the SHOULDs are practically adopted as MUSTs. Is there a legitimate reason for some network appliance with any form of persistent storage that you can write to once or more to use different DUIDs through its lifetime? Nope. If it does it's badly implemented. Do burn-in, just like you do with MAC and print the DUID on the box, just like you do with MAC. How you achieve that is no concern of the DHCPv6 protocol, just as how the MAC address is derived or whether it's printed on the box is no concern of the DHCP (v4) protocol.

Perhaps one can say that there is a lack of standardization in the area of human friendly physical machine to address mapping. DHCPv6 and DHCP (v4) are not those standards. Instead we have the ad-hoc practice of printing MAC address stickers which could just as easily be the ad-hoc practice of printing DUID stickers if not for an apparent complete lack of imagination on the implementers' part.

> The conclusion will inevitably be: IPv6 isn't there yet, because it's too much work for little benefit. Too many changes in existing processes, too much risk.

Of course if there is little benefit to you, replacing your existing infrastructure and processes is going to be a high relative cost. This is true of any new technology, especially for an enterprise where existing infrastructure and processes were not exactly conjured in a day.

Nobody suggests 'just searching' 64GB (which is not an unreasonable amount of memory today for a core router). Associative lookup is required, as is the case today. Nothing very new is required to create even larger (hashed) associative memories to manage this problem.
I think it's a lot less beautiful. I think it has to do more with historical accidents. We've stumbled our way forward in mathematics; there is no grand plan that unifies our notation. Just look at calculus for a prime example - df/dx and f'(x) come from two different lineages and get used interchangeably; the df/dx notation can be intensely misleading when students think that (for example) they should be able to use normal fraction rules.
Low Carb Diet: 14 Steps to Start Low-Carbohydrate Diet Now
Opening up does not need an argument.

The only argument which needs to be satisfied is what restrictions should be in place.

They don't need to justify anything to reopen. The pro-lockdown crowd needs to continually justify every restriction.

So the reopen crowd is a bit up in arms right now because they keep hearing contradictory statements coming out. It's not as deadly as thought. Masks work (they didn't use to, right?). It's not transmitted as easily by surfaces as previously stated. With so many things being drawn back there is an expectation that restrictions should be drawn back as well.

That said, I get groceries twice as week and that's it, but I'm lucky to have a remote job and no real worries about my finances.
I don't want to belabor this, but you are saying "all applications that I can think of can be implemented using existing bandwidth". I am saying that clever people will invent new applications, ones that no one has thought of yet (or that no one thinks is practical), once the bandwidth is available.
The American Influenza Epidemic of 1918: A Digital Encyclopedia
It kind of depends on what financial products you are talking about right?

You can, today, do high margin longs and shorts (dYdX), collatoralized loans (Maker, Compound), buy and sell derivatives (Synthetix), and buy into funds run by fund managers (Set Protocol) without any KYC. Even as an American, though these services will be more important to South Americans, Africans, and Southeast Asians.

KYC will still be used by old firms in rich countries, but it's not a given for the future of finance and most people will likely opt out as it's more trouble than it's worth and exposes you to identity theft when one of those firms is hacked and your personal data is stolen by criminals. It's just easier, faster, and safer to not use KYC.

Email. Or take a photo of a QR code, or take a photo of the email address. Or take a photo of the phone number. Or call the other one to confirm that you've typed the correct number, and the other party will be able to instantly save your number too.

I think this problem is not that big of a problem. After all, worst case, you can just hand out a paper business card.

There's rarely a need to get someone's contact details without even knowing who they are, at least their name, etc. And when we have their name and we can link them to something (a common friend, a company), we can usually find them quite easily. Or am I mistaken? Are there examples where bump/shake would be really that useful?

No it does not.

First, you very well know that is not the definition any english speaker identifies as religion.

Second, you may think it's by faith but to them it's facts, so even by that definition it's wrong.

If you "override" a command in your PATH with an alias, you can access the original command with a leading backslash.

Huh, I can actually appreciate that more now.

Like when you think about if a startup had to sell people on a single one of these services, they would have to actually say "like an unlimited FTP server BUT" and thats the only way they could get into board rooms and they would spend years on just that wrong and skeuomorphic branding just to get off the ground

Whereas Amazon doesn't have to do that, and doesn't have to explain the skeumorphic stuff to anyone, they'll just mention it in some conferences about what you can do now, the end.

Yeah, thats really cool. It doesn't mean there isn't a better way, but I can see how it isn't as arbitrary as I thought.

Why is it bad for the creators?

Currently, I hardly ever buy ebooks (maybe like 1-2 per year), mostly because I hate DRM and the hassle that comes with stripping it off. A monthly 4$ subscription to a store where all books of the world are available would make the industry see a lot more of my money. Surely that would be good for the creators.
Latam Air Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Stymied by Lockdowns
> It doesn't bode well for a potential future (hopefully avoidable) pandemic that has far higher death rates.

I think that if COVID19 was more deadly, we'd have a lot more agreement on implementing lockdowns, and not nearly as much politicization of the issue.

I think that the polarization we are seeing regarding lockdown policies is because COVID19 sits right in the middle of what the population at large thinks of as "very dangerous." It's not quite half-and-half, but I think it breaks down like this:

I think it's fair to say that a very large minority looks at a disease that mostly targets the elderly and infirm and thinks, "why don't we take measures to protect the vulnerable populations who aren't getting out much anyway, and let the rest of the world get on with life?" This isn't just about "making money" to these people, it's actually about living your life, and accepting what is in reality a pretty small risk for most healthy people.

One the other hand, a not-quite-supermajority believes that a disease which is 10-100 times deadlier than the typical flu when looking at raw fatality numbers is worth significant cost and effort to suppress. This would also include a significant portion of people who are themselves elderly or infirm, and they don't want to risk society neglecting to protect them if everyone else is allowed to go about their business.

It could well be that if the fatality rate really was > 3%, you would have a hyper-majority in favor of taking action, which means we would have all been in agreement about how to react, really locked down hard and eliminated it by now.

I don't buy the freedom argument. I can't wander around outside naked nor can I wander around with an open container of alcohol (some communities allow this - most don't and mine is in the most category) - yet few people are seriously complaining about that yet those behaviors have far less of an impact on my health than people wandering around without face masks. No, there's a belligerence at play here and there's a certain high-ranking federal officer encouraging that belligerence in part by famously refusing to wear a face mask. Face mask wearing has now become a gang sign: if you're wearing a face mask then you're one of them. That's how insane things have become in the United States and we're suffering badly as a result.
