I'm a huge Polar fan! I'm considering buying an iPad just for using Polar, but I was wondering about the ReMarkable as well, since I like e-ink better for reading.

Do you have any recommendations for a tablet to use with Polar?

The action of central banks setting interest rates is an artificial market intervention that necessarily suppresses others asset prices by making risk free assets available that pay free money to banks and financial institutions.

What was the draw of Keybase? I wasn't interested when it was a "post all your website usernames here, but with crypto somehow" site, and by the time I looked in on it later, it was an unreadable startup homepage and had some kind of cryptocurrency scam attached to it. If it had a good messaging featureset that should be cloned, former Keybase users should speak up!
Somewhere around 1.7 million people do that job full time. They average $45k/year. That's $76.5 billion per year before any of the other costs of employing them besides salary.
The difference between colors of shirt is quite obviously not analogous to the level of difference between a game and a movie.

It’s hard to believe you don’t see this. Do you really not?

If your argument is that all apps are just like different colors of a shirt, then if movies are no different from games, movies are also no different from programming languages, or telemedicine apps.

If your argument is that Apple shouldn’t be allowed to make rules based on distinctions between what apps do, that is a reasonable position to argue on its own merits.

Claiming there is no distinction between what classes of app do, is not reasonable.

Your argument about making an exception for your friend Tim doesn’t apply here.

If Apple were to make an exception and allow just one game streaming service, then I’d agree it was a valid analogy, but they don’t.

And yes, there are huge consumer facing and technical differences between game streaming and video streaming services.

The biggest one is that a game streaming service can stream any kind of app, and bypass app review and apple’s payment services.

We might want people to be able to do that, but that’s a different matter.

The technical difference is very obvious, and it’s exactly what Apple has said - they don’t want apps bypassing app review.
You're absolutely right. In majority of cases, when people say .NET, they mean .NET & C#. VB.NET or F# are pretty much always explicitly mentioned as they're not the default choice for .NET development.
What Is Work Resurge?
Resurge

Ever wondered why health professionals always advise people to get good and enough sleep? It is because sleep is an essential factor to your overall health and wellness and according to research is a great contributing factor that helps you burn excess and stubborn fat fast.
The lack of deep sleep can have adverse effects on your health including energy loss and fat accumulation. It causes imbalances to your body that give you serious health concerns like weight gain, anxiety, low sex-drive and premature aging which Resurge can help to address without diet, exercise and expensive treatments.A team of experts recently did a lot of research and found out why a lot of people are unable to lose weight in the first place. You will be shocked to know that there is a weight loss switch in our body that switches off sometimes which leads to storage of fats. Also, your metabolism can shut down and you are at risk of diseases such as various cancers, diabetes, hormonal imbalance and so on. If you don’t want that to happen, you need to turn your weight-loss switch on right now with RESURGE.

Ask HN: What open source would you preserve with 1GB?
Given the impact open source has had, particularly over the past twenty five years, it would be a shame if some of it fell into the ether.

If you had, say, one gigabyte of space to preserve open source software for future generations, what would you include?

Most interested in open source software, but feel free to include other ideas.
I seem to remember there are or were a few more of these, all making for fascinating reading. But I'm having trouble finding them again, possibly due to the intentional detail fuzzing. Leads or links would be appreciated if anyone has them....
A few reasons:

1. Why would you? Having a bunch of nodes communicating with each other makes pretty graphs for a dissertation, but if you really just want to get something done, calling a library is much easier than messing with launch files and dealing with message passing and asynchronous behaviour. It brings in a ton of new complexity to solve issues which are only complicated to people who don't know how C++ threads or coordinate systems or other robotics bread and butter work. It reminds me of that quip, "You had a problem and tried to solve it with ROS, now you have 2 problems."

2. ROS is designed as a framework, not a library. This means that it's very hard to pick and choose the pieces you like, rather it is all or nothing. It also ends up with a lot of lock-in, and as a result code written for ROS is very hard to take into another context.

3. A lot of ROS tries to just 'make it work', regardless of if things are only partially configured, misconfigured, etc. If this is a one-off proof of concept then this is fine. If someone dies because things are misconfigured, I want the tools to complain very, very loudly, and preferably not work at all.

4. Unit testing in ROS environments is a pain. It is more oriented around doing simulation, but the simulation is the top level thing. This means something like business logic that depends on the simulation working in a certain way, or on the outputs of the simulation, is hard to verify the correctness of. This is unacceptable in a business environment.

5. Tooling. Why does it need its own package manager, its own build system? It even has its own runtime dependency analysis. Just use CMake, and the OS tools. Please please please. Deployment is such a pain!

Anyways this is just off the top of my head. Consider the later points, and then go back to the first one, of "Why should industry use it?" To me, there isn't sufficient motivation for the added complexity ROS brings.
Aesthetically, I understand what you're saying. I like muddy stuff, but this is just poorly mixed IMO. Not like in an audiophile "but the compression!" way or something, it just sounds like garbage.
It doesn’t matter whether it is reserve or not.

All floating currencies can do the same.

The issue is that the non government sector tends to hoard money rather than spending it.

The left want to confiscate those savings. The right try to mask them by pushing more and more people into debt.

The other option is that you realise net savings are largely inert in aggregate and essentially act like a tax.

Then you just accommodate them
> which isn't the case in Firefox

It certainly is, at least on Firefox 80.
Essentially, the Fed seems to be putting more effort into appearing like they are doing something to help the economy in the hopes it assuaged people's fears and gets them to transact than actually doing anything to help.

Powell has essentially responded to things by equivocating and shifting some language around so that facilitating increased employment is now a higher priority to the feds than a stabilized interest rate.

Much of the economy, banking, and finance is fundamentally about trust. Without that, people don't spend, or take risks. Money doesn't flow, and businesses can't thrive. Lack of a thriving business environment chokes the ability of the entire economic/financial system.

Keynesian economic theory calls for governments to start spending in a big way. This "rallies" people and generally inspires confidence which drives demand. The main point is to get people paid for doing something not even necessarily useful,and get them to stop worrying about whether the Sun will rise tomorrow.

The article author finds hope in the Fed's equivocation that they at least appear to be coming to terms with the fact this is the right thing to do.

What I'm not clear on is how in the hell the Fed can justify "Haha, money printer goes brrr..." Without a matching Act of Congress, but it's hard to take anything seriously when you start getting into the more arcane aspects of how monetary policy works, because monetary policy is nigh indistinguishable nowadays from "Quick! Look busy so that everyone thinks everything will be okay!"

That's the gist of the article as I get it at least.

My understanding is the balance sheet is unimportant as long as the economy continues to grow; debt is outpaced by the growth. To that end, what's most important is that people are comfortable, capable, and willing to participate in keeping the economy growing. Something not happening because there's a physical risk to recklessly engaging in massive unconstrained economic activity, and no one knows how long until people stop ranking fear of Coronavirus a more pressing concern than the crashing of the economic machine.

Personally, I think this is a reckoning a long time coming, and something the Fed can't use it's traditional tools to fix since the last 40 or so years fundamentally shifted the economic capabilities away from decentralized industry due to a regulatory environment that highly favored consolidation and centralization. That isn't something you necessarily bounce back from quickly, which is actually an opportunity in it's own way. The bigger, more omnipresent and impossible seeming a problem the government can get everyone on board (and paid) to solve the better. If only enough unity materialized to do it.
I appreciate a really thorough reply, but I did ask for a link.
If a truck has two drivers on board, can one sleep while the other drives?

If so, it should be pretty straightforward - even with current rules - to have the human sleep (or watch movies) while the computer does the long-distance runs, then have the human do the last mile and exception-handling locally (not talking about split-second emergency takeover, just "the truck has stopped because it can't figure out what to do").

I appreciate the counterpoint as part of this discussion, though I personally grew up on a rural fruit farm which is currently served by a wind turbine powered hilltop relay (~4Mbps long range WiFi) and copper cable DSL (~7Mbps.)

The valley is 400’ deep and has 50 copper pairs coming up the side, of which 20 come to the road the house is on, and 10 remain by the time you get to the family property. 3 more are taken by properties down the way, so 7 pairs (or ~50Mbps) lay unused. It would be interesting if the copper was changed to a 100% utilization rate.

The point though is there is power and copper telephone at the site. And a road! At some point, someone managed to invest in infrastructure for this house. In some sense it’s quite disheartening that the only modern equivalent to that kind of infrastructure investment is the spaceship endrun around the incumbents.
It's going to be an interesting war to follow, but not to be in the middle of. Chrome is already nuking the current state of things by introducing sweeping changes in Manifest V3. The one that caught the mainstream was webRequests and breaking content blockers. What's not talked about is how moving the "background" process from a long lived hidden web page to a short lived, event based service worker, breaks the actually useful cases of extensions.

For our RSS extension it breaks a bunch of things, like polling for updates in feeds, removes any sort of complex persistent storage like IndexedDB, the ability to open a websocket connection for a realtime connection to backend infrastructure (if the user chooses to use our cloud syncing).

Now Chrome has also made a sweeping change by hiding all extensions you install by default. Hiding away the main interface element of the extension. This breaks the "unread" count or the point of the browser action. How many users will actually understand that they need to "pin" extensions to the toolbar? How many extensions will you have installed that you forgot to remove?

It's like the 90s again. All other browsers have moved to Chrome's extension system, which by no means is a standard. Firefox has explicitly said they will support content blockers in their current form, but not their stance on Manifest V3. Safari has disabled a large portion of the API's, and being just released, what's their story for MV3? Since there is no standard there is no work to keep the API's in sync. Firefox throws exceptions on parameters that Chrome supports. It's really demoralizing.

Increasing money supply != printing money to get out of debt.

As a countries population and prosperity grow, increasing money supply is expected. The US does not in large quantities print inflationary dollars, they print borrowed dollars. This is a subtle difference, but it is has profound implications. When the borrowed dollars are paid back, the money can be destroyed. Inflationary dollars by definition do not carry this trait.

Jitsi supports multiple videos, I've had at least 6 people before.

We use GoToMeeting at work, and many times have 20 people with video, plus screen sharing (there's also gotowebinar which supports thousands of viewers).

With GTM I love that you can seamlessly share without disabling your video. The web browser experience is hands down better overall then everything else I've used (Zoom, MS Teams, Slack, Jitsi, WebEx). Camera views are just auto-sizing, auto-layout boxes (think: floating tiles) that fit the space you give them, and you can pick top/bottom/left/right when someone is sharing a screen.

Then things that hold GTM back: they still push their native client, and it takes two clicks every time to join with browser (it's not buried like zoom, but it's nowhere near the instant-on, zero-effort of Jitsi). The other thing driving me absolutely mad right now is they introduced a bug a few weeks ago that causes it not to remember my audio settings or name. When I host a meeting, despite telling it to "remember me" it never does -maybe this is part of the federated login my company uses, but the end result is when I click to start my meeting it tells me it's waiting for me to arrive, add takes like 4 more clicks and bouncing around login sites to get in.

My ideal:

Run in a browser, use extensions to get extra functionality if needed.

With lots of people, switch to multiplexing and/or automatically downscale video.

Support seamless pstn dial-in, and pop up a suggestion about this to users if their audio starts breaking up.

Don't stop my webcam when I start screen-sharing.

Support active speaker view, gallery (zoom-style), or GTM-style.

Remember all my preferences and make it so I rarely have to think about any settings. Or login.

Make it easy to give people permission to control/share/etc, and for recurring meetings, remember those changes for next time.
Maybe Facebook should go make phones and then try and waive fees that help third parties build momentum that they will eventually capitalise on..

Adopting the extension model doesn't mean that the capabilities available to extension developers are the same.

You can take a look at Firefox, which has extensions that in Chrome are not currently possible. Or extension features that aren't possible, like the ability to block first-party analytics in uBlock Origin, as a small example.

I am, however, glad that all of them are adopting more or less the same APIs, because extension developers can now target all 3 major browsers with ease.

> the discussion on macOS browsers is going to come back to UX, speed, and battery usage

The biggest, most relevant component of a browser has always been the browser engine, because it dictates available features, and yes, speed and battery usage.

People keep talking about the UI as being an important differentiator. But I don't believe that's true, because the UI of all major browsers is decent. Of course, power users can cling on to features, like the Tree Style Tabs in Firefox, but for the most part, I don't think it's the UI that makes most people switch browsers.

If you want to build a house, there's a whole lot of ways to do it. You can use a lot of different tools and materials and techniques, or a few. Doesn't really matter. What matters is what the purpose for the house was, where you build it, how much money you have, etc. There's no one set of tools that can tell you how to architect any house. Architecture should spring from the creating of the house, not the other way around.

I feel that the condition Apple puts on app devs to not indicate to customers in any way that 30% of their purchase is going to Apple is the most problematic. It shows that Apple knows their cut is too high, and customers won't stand for this rate if they knew what they were paying for. If they genuinely believe their service is worth 30%, they should be confident about it, let users understand the break up of their bill. Truly insane levels of monopoly on display here.

It had excellent chat functionality that worked well, and this was at a time in which the Signal client for Android was still quite buggy (hundreds of Bad encrypted message messages flooding group chats, messages delivered hours late and all at once, poor performance etc.) My group naturally gravitated towards Keybase as our secure messaging platform. The other killer feature was KBFS, which was a sort of shared encrypted filesystem with which you could sync files securely across all of your devices, share files publicly or with specific users or sets of users or groups in cryptographically protected ways.

The unintelligible foray into cryptocurrency with Lumens made very little sense to me, but apparently the coins I was gifted for free by Keybase are worth over 100 USD now. I'll probably hold on to them.
