In Argentinian or Russian style currency defaults the computer networks continued to function. We are talking about the dollar no longer being the world reserve currency here, not a total societal collapse. It will happen when a more attractive alternative is found by the global markets.

Currently the excess dollars created are absorbed by the foreign economies. This keeps the US from inflation caused by this creation. For example, Brazil has to buy dollars with its goods to then use them for purchases of IT equipment from China. At some point Brazil and China will find a direct medium of exchange.

Digital and physical copies of media content differ significantly in their transmissibility and copy-ability.

For example, creating a digital copy of some content is typically so easy that creating an entirely new duplicate copy is actually how works are transfered. Compared to physical media where creating a copy can be so difficult that copies are shared by physically moving individual copies rather than re-duplicating them.

While many libraries do have significant and valuable collections of digital works, they also tend to have somewhat overrought (or overly trusting) systems for preventing illicit copying.
Not sure what you mean by advanced. But I have been using different distros for years now. Used to main debian. But for the last year I have been using Solus, and wouldn't look back. Very stable rolling release with official support for Budgie, Mate, Plasma and Gnome Desktop Environments.

I couldn't ask for more.

I think this’ll be governed by how quickly their health declines, how easy it is to borrow against their equity (and the bank liquidating the property after they’ve passed), and how aggressive local jurisdictions are with clawing at assets to pay for long term care (Medicaid, five year look back). The can keeps getting kicked.

A list of bugs, many of which appear to have been fixed years ago, is hardly a convincing form of "reasons against systemd". Some of the bugs are even trivial gripes about tools (e.g. "journalctl -r -n flags incorrectly processed") which don't even exist in other init systems.

>A sidecar is an alternative to an application-level library for something that needs to be present in every instance

I see where you're coming from there; but it's worth also being explicit that it may be the only option (rather than an alternative) if, e.g. you do not own the code for which you're running the sidecar.

Good examples here are sidecar proxies for service meshes: you're probably doing TLS termination and authorization in the proxy, and the underlying service might be a closed-source database with a binary protocol you know nothing about.
It's a way to say "syllable" with less than one of those. This text in the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/16/science/john-conway-math.... calls it "One Bit Word Game". I think "slab" might be a good choice, too, 'cause it sounds like the long word it stands in for. This game is hard, but in some tongues, it may be worse, if there are just a few slabs that can be used and most words have more than one.
The largest part of the time executing the above query isn't inside the function, so this isn't that a material comparison. The reason for that is that SRFs in FROM to be materialized into a tuplestore, which isn't free:

postgres[607045][1]=# SELECT count(*) FROM generate_series(1, 10000000);
┌──────────┐
│ count │
├──────────┤
│ 10000000 │
└──────────┘
(1 row)

Time: 1249.224 ms (00:01.249)

postgres[607045][1]=# SELECT count(*) FROM (SELECT generate_series(1, 10000000)) s;
┌──────────┐
│ count │
├──────────┤
│ 10000000 │
└──────────┘
(1 row)

Time: 460.206 ms

For mostly historical reasons SRFs in the target list can use the non-materializing SRF query protocol, but SRFs in the FROM list can't.

Any chance you could show the timings for the pgx version of the second query?
I find the difficult thing with this advise is that people always want to skip step 1.

From my experiance once you introduce the principle of refactoring repeated code into functions no one wants to repeat code and will go to great length to justify abstractions before they know if its needed.

I see this with teams following iterative product development processes as well - they never want to build the 'simplest thing' first and learn. There is usually an idea of the final product and people want to jump straight to that.

Would be interested to know if anyone else has seen this and how they have overcome those challenges.
> 8. Talent vs. Genius: Society is good at training talent but terrible at cultivating genius. Talented people are good at hitting targets others can’t hit, but geniuses find targets others can’t see. They are opposite modes of excellence. Talent is predictable, genius is unpredictable.

This, at least in US, I think the society is focusing too much energy on cultivating genius, and a lot of talents are left idle with literally meaningless work (for example, convincing people to click on ads).
That's interesting. I wonder what such a job pays. I happen to be one who knows some mathematics and might be able to do this as a side gig.
I spent one single night exploring the dark web in 2011, stumbled on that on the first night.

Scrubbed my drives, poured bleach in my eyes and swore off TOR forever. I'd agree that at the time, it was rampant.

However, it was during the same time that the FBI had set up their Operation Torpedo so it's quite possible those were heavily advertised on purpose as a trap.

Either way, it's sickening and another proof that we can't have nice things. Give a dark-web to mankind and the first thing they do is upload disgusting illegal porn to it (I am not talking about kinks but actual criminal activity).
California shut down very hard and fast. When they reopened, nearly 100% of the population was still susceptible to the virus, so it spread like wildfire. Especially since the reopening was not exactly slow.

Compare this to the Northeast and much of Western Europe where the virus spread too quickly until lockdowns reduced the spread. Now, keeping the transmission rate low in those areas has become comparatively easy, even with wide-scale reopening.

Perhaps California could have attempted a middle ground strategy. Let the virus spread just a slight amount more than occurred during the initial lockdown in order to gradually spread immunity. The level of immunity may be nowhere near "herd immunity", but any amount of immunity in a population makes transmission of the virus more difficult.

EDIT: Part of why I make this strange argument is because CA seems to have endured a lockdown for virtually no gains. Now, the lockdowns will begin again. Perhaps allowing the virus to spread at a low and manageable rate would have conferred some benefits in terms of increased immunity in the population, thus making it easier to suppress the transmission rate moving forward.
My original comment was in response to a particular commenter who did in fact imply that UI conventions were the reason. I even asked a question to clarify if that was the case. Snarky it was, but still a question. You have your own reason to not want PWAs, that's fine. Your reason is not the reason I'm protesting.

Not including your reason in my question does not make it a false dichotomy. I never stated that UI conventions were the _only_ reason to dislike PWAs, it was simply the only reason the commenter implied.

If _you_ think promoting walled gardens and Apple's monopolistic power is less of a problem than expanding browsers' scope of functionality, I disagree, but that's not what I came here to argue about, that doesn't have anything to do with my original comment that you have an issue with.
> I don't see how it's any more secure than storing a manipulated key in plain text

You don't see how not storing the key is more secure than storing the key? I'm suggesting you memorize the key, and only store the ciphertext.

> I would just xor my address with a key of the same length (correcthorsebatterystaple-esque) and then xor it back out on the other side

This would fail a statistical uniformity test, and your adversary would be able to figure out that something was hiding there, and might even be able to extract parts of your key. In order to do this safely, you'd need to whiten your "correcthorsebatterystaple-esque" key first.

Or better yet, you shoud not even consider doing this and use a key-stretcher instead. Because there are a thousand other mistakes that you won't even know you're making that are completely avoidable.

Sorry, I don't agree. In fact, I think I'm quite objectively estimating the effects of our institutions. I think you're the one stating drastic estimations.

I would say that our education system is helping to free people to move across class and wealth lines far more than keeping people where they are. The amount of social mobility in the US ranks with the best of many countries.

Of course, tons of studies show this (mobility) has been slowly decreasing over time since the 1950s, etc. But you make it sound like the system is rigged in the exact opposite way, which is the problem with the many popular positions on the topic. But popular does not mean objectively correct.

The problem with what you want (I don't know you, I'm using your stated words as example of a certain position right now) is that you want a small number of bad overall outcome cases (or increasing number of cases) to justify any steps towards any institution even tangentially related to the perceived problem.

Even if the institution contributes only a small part of the outcome's determinants. Even if by dismantling the institution, you wouldn't be sure whether the outcome would be different. But you want to try, right? Just to see if it does something? Without proof.

I don't want you to have that nuclear option. I'm willing to work towards solutions to make things better, but I don't believe in the extent of systemwide conspiratorial reinforcement of class/racial boundaries that you believe causes these outcomes.

If I did, I'd be out protesting right along side you. But I'm willing to have my mind changed by better information.
And having a VPN can let you do away with some of the more questionable third party tools that let you manage things at home. I could pay some cloud provided service to let me manage security cameras at home or I could have a VPN and access them like local resources and keep more of my data in-network.
I was going to make a "I'd like one Biotech, please" joke, but this is actually an interesting website! All the images are a bit confusing, but the information is great.

While the clunky UX and low speed of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies definitely remind me of packet radio of early 90s, it was pretty amazing to transmit data wirelessly like that, and now we have 4g (and soon 5g and satellite internet) everywhere. I definitely don't think we are at early IRC/netscape/email level experiences yet.

I think you can also only stretch the analogy so far through, and like others have commented I think the future of decentralised cryptocurrencies has more to do with the actions of central banks and the phase of the fiat mega cycle we are coming to.

There has to be a stable store of value that also works well as a currency, and these days it has to be digital. I don't know if it will bitcoin - it's too volatile and not particularly good as currency - but there will be something. Perhaps it will be backed by something physical with finite supply, or perhaps by just algorithms - we will find out. Sometimes I wonder what advanced enough AI would use as a medium of exchange and a store of value - if anything?

The fact that for you "should online companies pay taxes?" is a subject worthy of debate indicates such a vast gulf between our positions that there's really nothing to discuss, I think. Certainly the idea that Google is not "in" any particular country seems pretty strange to me, but if that is indeed your position then clearly it should pay tax in all of those countries, not none.

Ask HN: When will the ‘we use cookies’ popover end? It’s insane
I can’t take it anymore. On mobile, it’s insanity. On desktop it’s annoying. On mobile, I can’t read an article until I remove [x] the useless disclaimer. Then I need to remove [x] the excessive amount of ads to get to the content. Is the “we use cookies,” a law that’s here to stay? Honestly, seems like a major annoyance on my tiny little screen as it takes up too much real estate. Does every site need this or can we tell the little sites to chill with that plugin?
Here's one way to look at TSLA. I see zero chance of Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagon, or GM making all of their direct competitors obsolete.

With Tesla's massive monopoly on driver data (likely a prerequisite for level 5 automation) and head start in driverless tech overal there is absolutely a chance that TSLA puts all the aforementioned companies out of business.

I don't know how likely that is, but it's a hell of a lottery ticket regardless.
The Feds archive all encrypted communication, including supposedly untraceable Monero ring signatures, so that they can decrypt it sometime in the future when they have (and they will at some point) a strong enough quantum or a cryptanalytic exploit. It may be safe enough for pragmatic reasons to want secrecy like selling drugs, but if you want secrecy for philosophical reasons then you should know that even Monero won't really give you it.
Who is saying that? I'm only comparing the IFR.
Stuff like this gives me some hope. Where states like China have complete surveillance and control over their citizens, and that's where other fascist states seem to be headed, at least in western countries we are having these debates. And even though it seems like an ever-losing battle, my hope is that we can all be educated enough and band together on things that unite us to fight back against surveillance society controlled and abused by the powerful few.

I haven't looked into CMS since ~6 years or so but this pretty much what I would expect from a CMS in 2020.

Through maybe it's focused a bit more then some other systems on (also) supporting a bit more tech savy people. But then in my experience even with CMS targeted a less tech savy people once a change needs to be done which is more then just changing the text it's always passed to the tech savy people anyway.

Through I guess given how primo highlights the IDE, Components Library & Static Site Generator not all web focused CMS do that today??

Not all bitcoiners are crazy. The crazy ones will eventually leave Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin can succeed without world collapse. Bitcoin has been a niche currency. The missing piece is adoption. There're proposals to address this problem. Lightning Network is one. But the hype dies down quite a bit.

I think one missing piece is inflation. I focus my effort in this direction. Check out my project:

I'll have to read more about that, thanks.

I will say the idea of "teaching to the test" which this sounds like, is of course not a good approach. But not everyone can have a Socrates as teacher. All the more so when we refuse to fund schools as they should be. And not everyone is a Plato and can handle an inspirational deschooled approach.

Either way, we should fund it correctly. As others have said, we pay now, or we pay later. I prefer to pay now. It's cheaper.
Other people answered you well, but I could sum it up as financialization doesn't help society. It puts up barriers to free trade, monopolizes businesses, adds rentier like barriers to society. A great financial system also makes it easier to get a loan, invest in things, get credit. For wealthy or fortunate people like most programmers this is all great. For poorer people it adds to the tax or drudgery and difficulty of having a good life and affording it.

I'm an Aquarium user. There are two ways Aquarium provides value to my company. First, we improved our model performance. Second, I spent less time and less clicks curating my dataset.

Regarding model performance, I used Aquarium to improve the AUC for my model by 18 percentage points (i.e., comparing the AUC for the first model trained on my new dataset to the AUC for my production model).

Regarding dataset curation efficiency, I spent much less time curating my dataset using Aquarium than I would have spent using our own in-house tooling. For example, the embedding-based point cloud allowed me to identify lots of images with an issue at once, rather than image by image, click by click.

This thread has been mostly focused on improving model performance (i.e., my first point), but Aquarium is also valuable for improving model curation labor efficiency (i.e., my second point). For the business owner, dataset curation labor efficiency means less money wasted on having some of your most expensive employees, ML data scientists, clicking around and writing ad-hoc scripts. For the ML practitioner, dataset curation labor efficiency means fewer clicks and less wear on your carpal tunnels.

The founders, Peter and Quinn, didn't ask me to write this. I chose to write it because it's a great product that I think can help a lot of businesses and people.

There is no real or legitimate issue about how attractiveness is somehow "unearned," as though it should be earned, I can only presume through labour, and probably struggle, though it is not clear from whom one might earn it. Perhaps the forces of history inevitably closing in on a dying class? The idea of privilege is an artifact of that ideology and it's the defining attribute of an antagonist. Is it useful? It is a tool that is applicable in some limited instances, but applying it to the alleged "privilege" of beauty seems like that old adage of when all you have is a hammer and sickle, everything looks like a kulak.
