You’re begging me to go nutpicking with the phrase “precisely no one” but let’s grant that point. Many people have been outspoken about, in general, replacing white males in positions of power and importance with non-whites or non-males. The degree to which none of these people want to replace Linus probably has more to do with the degree to which Linus Torvalds is perceived to be in a position of power or importance.
I received a hand cranked emergency flashlight for free somewhere a few years ago. Turns out it also happens to have a simple AM radio built in. It's probably the only working one inside my house, but in a pinch it'll do.

I don't think this will last. It's not my personal opinion or preference, I care few about the modern web but to me .. watching people interacting with computers, browsers and how they use whatsapp or instagram .. I see no value for them[0] into the early simple web. It's like betting against television in the 90s.

[0] meaning in the average folk psychology, of course a simpler cleaner web has value, just not to them AFAIB

Having different double standards who get to use the term is not only hypocritical, it's also racist.

Therefore everyone must be allowed to use his nick: negroprogrammer, or risk the above violation.

I think it smart if for free speech, and not just used as a sword or shield against others.
As an exclusive club, it's a feature. As pursuit for knowledge it's a tragedy.

There are many highly intelligent people who are differently able to absorb mathematical literature. Consider, perhaps, if the gender imbalance is caused by the time needed to take care of children and a household. - Time which mathematics in its current state unfairly demands.

Human brains are structurally not very different. If raw compute is about the same across individuals then the progress of academia relies on people with highly differing form of intelligence. An obvious example is people on the spectrum with seemingly absent emotional intelligence but vast capacity for abstract creativity. There should be many more types of intelligence available to us given a better communication protocol.

Since I'm firmly in the camp of gaining knowledge for the benefit of mankind, I think the camp which instead of descriptive names gives names like "Hausdorff" or "Abelian" to important mathematical concepts are intellectual looters and a detriment to the field. As you seem to say we are in the same camp, I hope you see the conflict in gatekeeping.
you wouldn't have to be perfect. You could carve out just the contiguous core. I believe this was floated by Jeff Flake. Federal buildings can, in general, exist on state land.
The awareness of the user's emotional state leading to the possibility of self-sabotage is a brilliant aspect of this design. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate that line of thinking in this context. It's lovely to see consideration of the user's emotions modelled as a practice that should be more common, as, after all, social media is a form of computer-mediated human interaction and all human interaction leads to emotions.
Misleading title. It’s not an unrecoverable delete. It’s moved into iCloud as you had specified.

How my article became one-hit-wonder on HackerNews
I got most of it, but... KeyGen(1^lambda), what does the 1^lambda part mean? They don't really explain that, and I don't remember encountering that notation in any of the mathematics courses I took at university
2816 Lisp cells (11264 bytes). A bit on the small side, but you get 5ms garbage collections because the memory is so tiny.

We need more little systems that are somewhere between underpowered Arduinos and entire Linux systems.

If only Blackberry hadn't killed off open-source QNX. A board with a few megabytes of RAM and QNX in ROM would be a nice system for many embedded applications. You get processes, threads, message passing, and real-time scheduling. But disks, users accounts, networking, etc. are optional add-ons. Nice for embedded applications where you need to control hardware but have other things to do as well.
They all sound plausible and likely. There are people obfuscating knowledge for all the reasons you mentioned.

At the same time, it doesn't mean there's a concerted effort to obfuscate mathematics.

Explaining things is hard, because you have to create a clear picture of the audience in your mind. Then, you have to draw the lines between what they know and what you want to introduce. The curse of knowledge is a big obstacle here.
I prefer to refer to MW and LW rather than AM because so many AM receivers don't cover Long wave band and that happens to have the only station I care about, BBC R4. It's not a problem any more with internet radio but you can pick up R4 on 1500m from the Droitwich transmitter right across Europe.
One issue I have with DAB and the like is their short-livedness. FM and AM radio was figured out almost 100 years ago, while for DAB there are already discussions of replacing it with 5G. So buying a DAB receiver is much more likely to turn out to be an investment for something that you will have to re-buy every 5 years as the technology is progressing.
The word "forgive" is a loaded one. I wonder if it wouldn't be easier for people to understand and accept if presented as a "heart" on the mea culpa itself, since that's already a familiar button and the use of the heart symbology gives it a touch of tenderness.
> fascists on both the far-left

While I appreciate your comment otherwise, fascism is universally agreed to be a far-right ideology and claiming otherwise at this point in history can't really be taken as anything but inflammatory, which isn't what belongs here in an otherwise insightful comment.
No, the argument is 78% of Americans don't use Twitter at all, 20% have Twitter accounts but are not very active, and only 2% are responsible for the vast majority of tweets. In other words, what you see on Twitter, especially when it comes to somewhat more extreme messages, is not representative at all for the US population as a whole.

> But Twitter doesn't have communities that can easily kick people out of their entire group

Agree that's a problem, it puts a limit on how close a community can be if it solely relies on Twitter to operate (rather than on their own online or in-person fora). This is one rather legitimate reason for cancelling - its a way for communities to excise members they do not want in the community, using the rules of social engagement available to them on the platform. Cancelled people may still have accounts and be able to interact in other groups of people in the broader twittersphere, but largely become pariahs in the communities they are a part of on twitter. This is why cancelling on twitter is not uniformly a bad thing, it is simply a way for communities to maintain some level of cohesion and shared values within the rules available to them.

As far as trolls, yes that behavior will always exist to some extent online. Mea Culpa is just one way to improve discourse, not a complete solution. The issue in public fora like Twitter is that these types of personalities tend to have outsized impacts on the community, and that's still a problem to solve.
I do not see the "incompatibility". There is a web-to-gemini gateway at https://portal.mozz.us which I think is an example to how easy it is to write one.

Big Browser is the cause of so many problems that people on HN complain about. Without the control over Big Browser that certain offending corporations have, their empires are considerably weaker.

Mom-and-Pop Browser is probably not an accurate caricature. Maybe something like End User Browser is more apropos.

If most HTTP is being sent over TLS these days, and Gemini is also over TLS, one could argue there is no "incompatibility". Gemini just doesn't need to all the extra ad-hoc functionality that has been built on top of HTTP. It is intended for data retrieval, not something that relies on help from the 20+ million lines of code in Big Browser to achieve.
The advantage of broadcast solutions is that there are no personalized ads and no tracking, unless of course your end device has those things, you use DRM, etc.

FM radio in the US certainly has less spectrum than TV did, but it has 20MHz of relatively low frequency spectrum which is quite useful: 88-108 MHz. It has excellent propagation characteristics (less power lost over distance compared to higher frequencies) and very good ability to penetrate through obstacles like trees and the walls of buildings, but still has an antenna size that's fairly manageable.

For reference, 20 MHz is enough to carry ~3200 voice channels (6.25kHz spacing), or ~1600 data channels of ~10-60 kbps each (12.5kHz spacing).
This will change when we can spin up whole human bodies for experimentation and discard them at will.

We need to clone decephalized humans. Turn off neural plate development. Downregulate genes that cause brain development. Before we get this right we can supplement it with surgical techniques to ensure the clones never have brains and never become sentient. Hook the embryos up to artificial life support that innervate heart, lungs, and replace hormonal signalling.

We could have a facility full of live, brainless monoclonal humans. We could perform research that wasn't previously possible due to ethics and invasiveness.

As a side benefit, we now have a limitless blood and organ supply for transplantation. Ideally without any antigens that react with transplant patients, guaranteeing transplant recipients never need to take quality of life-altering immunosuppressants.

If we can treat real human bodies like lab rats, we'll conquer every cancer and have a real chance of doubling human healthspan.

We have to get out of "punch card" phase biology. Unfortunately, it'll require wading out into uncomfortable new frontiers that many won't be happy to broach. This requires that you accept that there is no soul, that humans are code, and that we are now the authors.

If I ever get Elon Musk money, I'm doing this.
No they didn't. There is at work a formal invalidity to that assertion inherent to the nature of human communication and interrelation that your rhetorical technique is trying to exploit; namely that silence can be taken as assent or agreement or interpreted as charitably as the unchallenged claimer desires. Thus is the crux of your undermining your own case or point's validity. It is an invalid form of argumentation. It has been an invalid form of argumentation since antiquity. You aren't being clever, or utilizing a clever hack to prove your point and look at all the little whiteys getting upset.

You're simply doing logic wrong. Everyone here knows it, and most are probably too embarrassed to point it out. Consider this your Emperor's New Clothes moment.

You cannot say "X exists, and if you challenge me, it only proves X exists". That is circular reasoning by definition. X, therefore X. Before you go around attributing to others the quality of "white fragility" which you define in reference to itself as "white fragility is the phenomena by which whites must argue that white fragility doesn't exist", then you should not be surprised when anyone with any sort of background in formal logic drops by and attempts to get you sorted out.

Further:

>I'm not here to "exchange ideas."

Good!

Now that that's clear, I can cease conversation with you with a clear conscience. There is nothing more distressing to me than seeing someone seemingly trying to make what may be a valid point, but running into difficulty due to stumbling due to poor structure of their arguments. I tend to feel obligated to speak up at that point, as trying to disambiguate or deobfuscate hard to communicate things is something I often engage in.

If you are not actually interested in a good faith exchange of ideas, then I bid you adieu, and good night. Do work on the arguments. The world is prone to fallacious reasoning enough without people running around doing it wrong knowingly and intentionally.
Yes, they are (or at least I think they are).

I think we have other policies today that are similar in effect - gerrymandered election districts and intentional poor placement / management of polling stations being the most obvious examples in my eyes.

There's also stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigford_v._Glickman .
> First, your assumptions on net income are too pessimistic. Small founder-operated SaaS can be extremely profitable.

Are they? On the contrary. You are telling me that out of 100k of gross sales, after discounting: Operational costs, insurance, income taxes assuming at the end if you get 67K is pessimistic? I didt not even budget money for sales and marketing.

> Second, and more importantly, you are ignoring concepts of LTV and NPV of future cash flows.

I am not, that was not even a question on my initial answer. My original answer was to deny this: Operating a 2-person 25k MRR company during 2 years will set you for life. My answer is no. You are assuming a lot of other stuff that was never in the original discussion.

> Assuming 80% SDI and a churn-rate that is < 5% (ideally < 3%) you are looking at a business worth $700-950k right now. Why? An income stream from a growing high margin SaaS business is a coveted and valuable thing.

Yes, but that is trivially true. If you assume the company will grow the valuation will reflect that. Everybody knows that. That was not in the original discussion. This also depends on the business model of the company, a SaaS company critically depending on a 3rd part ecosystem is significantly riskier than an independent one.

> Having built a small SaaS business to this size myself for many years, i can totally recommend this path for independence and financial freedom.

I agree. But you need more than 200k USD to be set for life.
Go is faster to write, read, can have faster defaults/libs and less need for choice. I'd consider rust where further optimization is warranted.
I don't know they're a domain expert! Hence the 'heuristic' part. I do know that in the course of normal conversation I'm not owed 'links to sources'. I can certainly ask for them if I can't figure out how someone arrives at their conclusions but it doesn't make reading comments without them (or without a list of the commenter's verifiable credentials) 'outright foolish'. What you are describing doesn't sound like a general purpose forum anyone would want to participate in. And the way you're describing it sounds outright scoldish.
> Some of your point sounds a bit like this (please correct me if I'm wrong): "Deflation is always bad because it could be hyperdeflation."

I'm not an expert at this, I'd suggest looking at it in this manner instead. You are correct that other than the psychological (which does matter), there is no magic barrier that once inflation crosses the zero point and becomes negative things will spiral out of control. Instead it is a sliding scale 10% inflation will produce less investment than 20%, and 5% will produce less than 10%, and 0% less than 5%, and -5% less than 0.

Deflation frequently comes sharply, but it also often immediately comes following a period of credit expansion. Pretty often you'll see a sudden contraction after a bubble. In my understanding, a modern view of a "stable" economy is one that is at least slowly growing. And so even one that is holding still is "shrinking". Some degree of this is psychological as well. Debt becomes harder to handle, some businesses go bust, so people become less willing to lend money again.

I do think that yes, in the most cases deflation can be handled via monetary policy. But by essentially borrowing from the future and increasing demand. But that means the way out is essentially putting free money in the hands of the people most likely to spend it. The poorest.

A lot of politicians are more comfortable with giving money to banks or businesses than to low income citizens. But they are the ones who will spend it directly to increase demand. So in essence, in my opinion, it really boils down to political will to spend your way out of a deflationary cycle. That said, economists aren't all in agreement about these types of things. Dig into it a bit more yourself and see what's written on it.
This sounds like people are just scared of the maths. I find it very hard to imagine there are many people who know what modular arithmetic, polynomials, or groups are, but don't know the sigma notation for summing, the forall sign, or the general "prop1, prop2 : conclusion" for 'given prop1 and prop2 then conclusion'.
The US went to war against Spain in 1898 and took the Philippine away from Spain. The US promised the Filipinos independence and then reneged on it and fought brutal war against the Filipinos for 14 years.
I don't think Blue Origin as a whole is fraudulent, just that they're not showing real telemetry data. By way of comparison, I think it's commendable that Rocket Lab's stream was accurate enough for viewers to see the failure occurring live.
I'm talking about the cute fact that the library is 1776 bytes. It was obvious that author deliberately tweaked the file size to be 1776 bytes, to aid in the marketing of the library, and that expecting to keep the file size at 1776 bytes is an unrealistic goal if the author wishes to iterate on the code. I don't get why this is being made into a huge issue. It's a simple observation.
how many people vote in elections ? just to compare the representativeness of the samples
.NET really does not have the component architecture with property pages etc in the same way that Delphi has - along with the ability to register itself into an IDE etc.. I could be wrong though
Good point. But that could also ve an argument for hydrogen?
This time for sure.

"The democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another man's right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar; but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.")
I appreciate you bringing this up, it's an important subtlety I wanted to be made clear in the design. The emotional/behavioral difference between retracting a mistake and a full apology is pretty huge, despite their conceptual similarity. Some people really have trouble apologizing, and apologies are really laden with a lot of cultural baggage and potential for misunderstanding.
Funny enough, I was part of the protests in Seattle that led up to the autonomous zones.

Proclaiming Americanism failed to live up to its ideals isn't hatred. It's a simple factual statement that's painfully obvious.

Harsh criticism is necessary to reform. You can't move towards that more perfect union if we don't open our eyes to the problems of the systems.

If you reject all criticism out of hand as unpatriotic, then you cut off your ability to make progress.
Oh I've definitely encountered rhetoric that suggests middle class white-appearing males have intentionally and in bad faith created discriminatory structures because their power complex is what gets them off at night. I did go to a very liberal college though. I hope that stance is not becoming mainstream...
We haven't had poll taxes or literacy requirements in a long time, so what are the specific policies in effect right now that you propose to eliminate?
If you are telling your employees to "...work harder" this is a failure of management in the product mix and roadmap. But the "solution" is always, as it seems to be here, to hire a new round of tired executive faces and layoff a bunch of people.
The lesson here is if you want non-severability provision to work, you need to make the licence restrictions also binding for the original author (full reciprocity). Similar cases will also arise in Europe.
I think that would still be a boon for society. Take Slack as a random example. They took an incredibly simple idea (chat, but seriously) and took it to market with great success. Everyone including the largest corps had been doing chat, yet Slack did it once more and nailed it.

I think if everyone could freely build upon ideas, corporations wouldn't suddenly be making all of these amazing products that thwart every little player out there. Or rather, any more than they already do. And then we'd all be reaping the benefits of collective knowledge.

DAB is useless because : FM audio quality is enough (actually the bottleneck is the digital compression used in radio studios) ; the FM spectrum isn't saturated ; FM receivers are simple and cheap, it would be absurd to force people to buy new receivers and trash their fully functional radios. An important part of FM listening is in cars, and a lot of cars have custom proprietary radio trays or proprietery interfaces for hand commands buttons. Signal degradation is progressive in FM, but very irritating in DAB.
Unfortunately, in the new post-hamburger menu Android, the options that used to be available in the hamburger menu are now even harder to find. When they're still available in the main screen, they're also less useful--you have no idea what they do until you use them (I know I can long press, but family can't).

The best app UI I've seen, FBReader, has a menu, a drawer, and an action bar, and you can move elements between all three of them through settings, and for normal reading use the UI is hidden altogether. If you want to do anything advanced, it gets more difficult though--it has nested menus, though they're well organized IMO. Another UI that I like is Perfect Viewer's tap zones--it has settings for 3, 5, 11 tap zones on screen, and you can set what happens separately for long-press, single and double tap in each zone, plus swipe the top for brightness and bottom for progress control (like dragging a scrollbar, but for ebooks); probably overkill for most people though.
And how are they living. For 1500 bucks a month for a family of 3, no other income, unless you depend heavily on external assistance you are going to suffer a lot. Will you stop working if I guarantee you 1500 USD/month. No other income, no house, no car, no stocks,no college fund, no health insurance, all of this will have to come from the 1500 USD. Remember the original point of this discussion for which I have been downvoted to hell here: You need a non-trivial amount of money (in my estimation at least 1MM) to be "set for life".1 MM will give you 3k/month with moderate risk assuming historical returns. You can live with it surely but nothing crazy.
Receivers can be very simple indeed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio#"Foxhole_radios"
