I think that the laser focus on the use of the word "lazy" isn't really warranted considering the author isn't a native English speaker. His use of "lazy" meant more along the lines of "taking the easy way out". It was a reference to the WebKit team giving a list of several APIs that they were not going to implement because of privacy concerns. It takes little to no effort for the WebKit team to simply throw their hands up, yell "Privacy concerns!", and then refuse to implement or engage in a discussion on how to improve the APIs. That's why the term "lazy" was used, and while I would have phrased it differently, I think it's abundantly clear that the author wasn't calling a person or persons lazy, merely describing their actions as the easy way out.

The crypto boom of 2017 was fueled by the launch of new trading platforms making it easy to trade for small investors. Most of those investors graduated to stocks and options, and never looked back. There has not been anything to increase the valuation of Bitcoin as an asset since then. I say this as someone holding >$10k of crypto assets in case I am wrong.
Okay I am aware that many architects do not like tremendous skyscrapers these days. However, my concept, which I have not fully specified, would be unlike any existing design which they may correctly criticize.

Here is another very different idea I had before (which was criticized for not being dense enough): http://runvnc.github.io/tinyvillage/

But I am really curious to know what sort of structures or design you prefer.
Well you should be like Kennedy then, when the shoe shine boys were giving stock advice it was time to get out in 1929, perhaps High School dropouts and convenience store workers "getting rich" gambling with options on Robinhood might be a useful signal of things breaking down now.
It’s true only because you and your kids weren’t prepared and didn’t have time to think through the situation. Trying to replicate school at home is a recipe for disaster. Instead, think about what an education means to you and what you want your kids to be when they are 18 or so. Then design your years and days around that. Nobody can fault you for the result of the pandemic homeschooling experiment. Nobody was prepared. And you were trying to work from home at the same time. This last semester has pretty much just been a pause for most people.
This is one of many things I miss about RSS: there were "planets" or other aggregations of individual RSS feeds. So you could get curated content from a host of authors, and if you didn't like the curation you could grab the OPML and customize it.

Newsletters are fine, but they feel like a massive step backward both functionally and from a privacy perspective.
> If I was the 800 pound search engine throwing my weight around to quote a sentence from a movie or book, then yes, maybe I should be fined--or at least required to offer compensation.

Except that the (current American) law doesn't work that way - the 800 pound gorillas use their billions to pay lawyers to abuse small creators and outlets based on such creative interpretations of copyright laws. The gorillas are capable of fighting a copyright battle at court over details while they can just abuse the same right into some individuals bankrupcy.

Giving them even more power over your expression is incredibly harmful to society.
> plowing billions into basic infra like railways, ports and roads across swathes of Asia and Africa, and then its companies follow.

That hasn't worked out too well for them.

The reason no other country wanted to fund these projects, is because they have a history of defaulting on those loans. Additionally, these projects are a wound that doesn't stop bleeding. China has to continue pouring money in them for maintenance and upkeep too.

Unless China's goal is geopolitical neo-colonialism, I do not see any of their international infrastructure projects paying off any time soon.
there are a lot of people who definitely don't count by any definition

That is the typical answer I see; the opinion of anyone who disagrees with your opinion is inherently invalid. YOU know what "full stack" means, anyone who thinks it's something else is wrong.
Podcast Industry Ad Growth Hit by Pandemic
I just finished reading "The Victorian Internet" by Tom Standage and would highly recommend it. The book is an informative and enjoyable read about the rise and fall of the telegraph in the 19th century. The development of the telegraph has a lot of parallels to the modern internet that are worth contemplating and this book provides a point worth noting - the modern internet was not the first means of rapid exchange of information through networks spanning the entire planet.
The coronavirus is slowly retreating.

With the virus currently on a rampage in multiple countries this definitely is not a good start, even given the caveat about the emphasis being "local" and the situation "not being exactly the same globally".

So: Sars-Cov-2 isn’t all that new, but merely a seasonal cold virus that mutated and disappears in summer, as all cold viruses do — which is what we’re observing globally right now.

I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt, given their credentials. But this is just weird, manipulative spin control. All indications are that Sars-Cov-2 is definitely not "merely a seasonal cold virus", in neither its origins (confirmed to be very different from that of regular cold viruses) or its symptoms (far more complex and estimated at roughly 10x more fatal that influenza).
Water monopoly is a problem. Shitty companies like Nestle are prime examples. There are private corporations thinking of all kinds of ways to control rivers and even ground water. With water shortages being predicted all over the world, this doesn't look good. It takes a special kind of evil to control something as basic as water.
While they are allies Germany is a sovereign country with it's very own (extremely) strict privacy laws (pre and post GDPR) that ask/require companies to implement what is called "Datensparsamkeit" - principle of data parsimony.

That being said it would be implemented privacy first anyway. If you trust the ~tech behind signal you can trust this network.
Yeah, AD (and LTC, before AD bought them) had the best documentation. And for low volume hobby production the added BOM cost isn't a big deal, it's definitely worth the time saved in reverse-engineering the part due to incomplete documentation. Due to that it sometimes even saves money, since you're less likely to destroy the part when trying to figure out how to use it.
The best darknet hit-for-hire idea I've seen is the one that uses a prediction market. You publicly bet $500k that Joe is not going to die in 1 week. Whoever takes the other side of that bet has an interest in making Joe die.

(Assume the prediction market is completely decentralized and untraceable. Assume there is an accurate way to determine the outcomes of the events in a manner compatible with being untraceable and decentralized.)
Blocking links to paywalled articles might help, although I'm sure people will disagree with that idea (you can detect most paywalls, as they try to play friendly with Google).

You might try to find a way to soften the influence of people who are badly behaved voters, and causing those comments to float to the top. A lot of review sites seem to suffer from the people who give well thought out ratings being drowned out by a majority who only ever give the minimum and maximum rating. That's made some sites give up and only offer thumbs up and thumbs down, but if you can detect those users, you can always try to reduce the influence they have on the final rating.
So, if I decide (while living in France) to avoid paying so much tax by, say, making less money, I'm now a criminal?
I hate these 'R&D' budget argument. The can spend money but actually Tesla was first on all the important stuff. So have no idea why this all of a sudden is supposed to matter.

VW can barley get the basic software for their EV right at the moment. The CEO has admitted the lead Tesla has.

> planned to scale to 330000 EVs/y next year.

They have been missing their claimed targets many times before. Even if they manage that, only a tiny % of current cars sold are electric. Nobody believes Tesla will own 100% of the market.

If VW can actually make good on all those promesses, their stock will also go up.

But having the legacy and investment of massively depreciating ICE assets and not shown the ability to produce profits with EVs, they will need to execute to convince investors again.
A lot of people who say they enjoy their job at a big company only work 10-20 hours a week. They may be at the office or on their computer 40 hours a week but most of that time is spent doing things they enjoy ( chatting with friends, gossiping, spending time with people they find attractive, learning new technologies, browsing the internet, travel planning) They don't spend much time worrying about bonuses, promotions or what is best for the company.
Hot take:

Just turn off your camera. Video meetings where you sit at your desk and stare into your screen for an hour is just stupid.

I do all my calls voice only while going for a walk or doing chores around the house.
Now I wonder what Bruce Sterling's take is.
There are multiple decentralized stablecoins out there. DAI is the most well known and works pretty well. sUSD also works well. mStable is the best of both worlds and uses both decentralized and centralized stablecoins in a basket to form an even more stable, stable coin.

They are very relevant to the discussion as stablecoins will be the primary way people interact with decentralized services and decentralized stablecoins retain the decentralized and trustless properties that make BTC and ETH valuable.
The problem is that you need to fight for that fair use in the court with huge amounts of money.

When was the last time you've seen an individual or small company win a fair use case against YouTubes abusive algorithm? Because the created content gets taken down constantly even if its fair use. The algorithm doesn't care... and neither do giant copyright holding corporations that issue automated frivolous takedowns.

First of all, torrenting is hell expensive in most of Europe. In Germany any ISP will immediately pass every bit of information they have about you to companies like ip-eschelon (and others who talking lawyer-ish) after first letter with mention of piracy. Next letter will land in your mailbox and resulting summ will surprise you.

Tesla lost far less during COVID and has shown to be resistant to even a crazy recession. They showed demand in the worst economic climate in 10+ years. They continue to show very good margin that nobody else can match with EVs, not even close.
An example of what we are talking about is _mm_dp_ps (4-component dot product). It was heavily requested by game devs for SSE2 but didn't show up until 4.1. And, even then it wasn't much better than hand-rolling it with old instructions.

The hardware engineers were "correct". It's a difficult instruction to make fast compared to completely independent mul-adds. Game devs "should just" re-architect their code to not deal with small situations individually and instead be more bulk-data-processing like SPECfp because that's what's friendly to the hardware. But, that's dismissing how the software actually worked --especially back then.

16 years later, many, but far from all of AAA game engines more closely resemble SPECfp. But, all along the way, and in tons of 3D graphics and gameplay code still today, it would have been nice to reliably have one of the most common and fundamental operations in games well-baked into the chips.
I personally like TIs datasheets the best. They always have the same layout and has the right amount of detail.
Well written, I am on my personal journey to discover what being a Hindu means. I am appalled by the fact that the true knowledge and the diversity of different schools and line of thoughts has been dissolved and sublimated into a crude understanding of what Hinduism means.

I have thought about it a lot, and I think the main reason is that there is no single doctrine / school that everyone agreed upon in the past. I see this is as the pinnacle of free-thinking. The seeming consensus among people who follow Abrahamic religions has provided the functionality to conserve itself in some tangible form.

Whereas the meaning of Hinduism is just lost, because there is no religion single religion as such.
Nothing comes close to the deep thought and inspection that philosophers (sages/rishis whatever you want to name them) of the ancient India. All their "work" has been hidden under layers of what people assume is just religious "stuff".

Carl Jung, Nikola Tesla and innumerable people have invested time in discovering their true essence.

The concept of "religion", "spirituality", "god" carry a lot weight, especially in the modern world.
I myself (being a Hindu), assumed that all that was present in Vedic texts was just references to god, different kinds of gods, different rituals etc. And as a modern day human, I just assumed that these are just things of the past and now we are evolved enough to ignore these concepts and move towards the future.

And I was proved entirely wrong when I started reading The Upanishads, which are part of the Vedic literature. The concepts are so abstract that different schools/sub-religions spawned just on the basis of different interpretations. Roughly dualistic and non-dualistic interpretations.

I can go on and on about my discovery. In fact I am writing about this here: https://pulkitsharma07.github.io/2020/06/25/source-0/

I am really happy to see this post on HN, hoping this doesn't get flagged.
AVX-512 is two things though. It's new instructions for the vector units, and it's an extreme widening of those vector units.

> I'm not defending the Chinese government

Strange, because this comment, as well as the vast majority of your comment history, expressly come to the defence of the CCP.

Being an entrepreneur nor a diplomat is not probable cause for an arrest, and the opaqueness of the CCP on all their criminal cases is by design for this very reason; it's a smoking gun, not a smoke screen.

You're right that these two weren't entirely arbitrarily picked, they chose two people high-profile targets as you normally would in a hostage situation.
>Many of my friends are posting the same things you state on their social media, and are making it clear they won't be left behind this time.

Go to Vegas, you will see plenty of people flashing cash around when they win on the Roulette table or hit a streak in Blackjack. Are these guys genius players or are they the inevitably of table odds?
I've been long Tesla since 2012. I agree, it's crazy overvalued. Every time that happens I sell about 1/3 of my holdings, which means I now have 15% of my original holdings. If I still had it all that would be a crazy pile of money, but on the other hand the bit that's remaining is just play money and I'm comfortable letting it ride and when get stressed when it inevitably drops again.
The Affero GPL is a FLOSS, OSI-certified license that by-and-large solves the "software as a service" problem, by making sure that if SaaS providers publically perform a version of the software over a computer network, they also have to make that version available under the license. This is quite consistent with the general norms of FLOSS development and does not actively introduce discrimination over private use of the software, as other licenses do.
Blockchain is a database. Bitcoin is a blockchain database with an cryptographic identity layer where transactions are mostly immutable. If all of the people who run Bitcoin don’t all agree on governance then the database is formed into two versions where the transactions before the fork are kept but after the fork the second group will have a different set of transactions (like bitcoin gold) . Ethereum has a super set of features which adds the ability to run a stored procedure which enforce a contract that will be run on the network but have the resources of a microcontroller .

Since the hello world of your own cryptocurrency can be done on ethereum it makes it popular in that respect. Stablecoins are coins pinned to currency values because of the volatility of the underlying coin poses unique issues due to people paying each other in bitcoin or any altcoin.

Bitcoin is the most mature implementation of a blockchain due to being in existence longer . Ethereum has had unique security challenges and transaction issues but since databases are hard to make correctly it will win out due to age .

Bitcoin has proven itself to be able to support speculative investment and faster transaction times than a SWIFT transfer . Ethereum has been used to implement altcoins and stable coins and also encompasses bitcoins feature set too).

It’s hard to do unless one parent is comfortable with, capable of, and willing to spend years facilitating homeschooling (property near good schools is expensive). Then it’s still incredibly expensive in lost wages (and greater income insecurity/risk, which is even worse in the US due to how healthcare and retirement works, plus it probably ties the other partner to secure corporate jobs for healthcare if nothing else, and so limits upside available from riskier moves) compared with other options, unless you have several kids and the stay-at-home parent had fairly low earning potential.

I know a lot of people like to search Digikey (or Mouser) for new parts... but please just use the manufacturer website. Digikey doesn't always carry every part, and their categorization is usually a bit messed up.

> index funds rarely carry the entire portfolio of 500 securities - it's very expensive to manage that much stock at scale and rebalance each one.

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Funds calling themselves "S&P 500" funds but not actually holding the 500 companies in the index seems like false advertising at best and downright fraud at worst. And rebalancing a fund's holdings should be an automated process whose cost should be covered by the funds fees.
Steven Kell has noted the relevance of Illich's ideas to computing and software:
