I also think the entrenched industries profit from them too. More fundamentally, it is a paradigm of value extraction that is deeply embedded as a value within our civilization.

The profit motive are driven by individuals who seek to accumulate wealth and control access to them. That same game is played by people who don’t have wealth yet expect the tide to raise all boats. But we also compare ourselves to other people to give ourselves a sense of progress. The general ethical principles do not include a relationship with place, land, communities.

Yes, Mozilla had/has non-employed contributors. But I (wrongly?) never had the impression the amount of contribution was thaaaat notable (while individuals like Ben Buksch, whom I remember from that time, got some attention)

How hard it is, we can see even within Mozilla related products: Since Mozilla stopped the Mozilla Suite (SeaMonkey) hasn't seen much uptake, and Thunderbird is mostly stagnating as well.
The issue on the US is probably somewhere in the middle of complexity. We have money and even poor districts have way more money than kids in developing economies, but our culture gets in the way, politics gets in the way, politization gets in the way, unions get in the way, the federal dept of education gets in the way. None of these actors are all bad. They all do some good but together they are destroying things.

First of all, not all kids are meant to go to college or university. Second, we’re teaching fewer useful skills that are needed to function in industry and society. We’re also teaching them dependence and less independence.

Are you saying it's toxic that I argued with multiple people in multiple places to verify whether their claims were true or false?
I remember there used to be this old AM late night coast-to-coast radio show that had the strangest topics sometimes. I only occasionally tuned in by accident on the hours-long drive back to college from home. It was always when it was dark and the highway was empty and endless yellow highway street lights were all you could see.

It was like an x-files for radio. It was the first time I'd heard of Bob Lazar. It was mysterious and inquisitive and something you fell into unexpectedly.

Wish I remembered what it was called. I feel like that sense of mystery and discovery is hard to replicate today. Everything's at your fingertips.

Just to clarify, with the Jetbrains model you don't get to keep the current version, your fallback license is for the version that was available 12 months prior to the date you decided to stop paying.

This article bugged me. It spoke about the fridge as a preservation tool but failed to point to the freezer. The very important part of a fridge! We all know that the freezer plays a big role in preserving all our produce. I cut and freeze all the bread I buy and bake and when I defrost it, it’s top notch!
These are general purpose US funding of research which is done under the "Military spending" banner for various reasons.

I understand how people outside the US might not understand this, but it always surprises me complaints about "military spending" from educated Americans that don't understand these are actually enormous investments by the US government into general applied science.

The Army did not spend millions of dollars on a giant walking robot. The US government, by way of military spending, invested in research of the things required to build such a machine.

> As soon as you provide the requisite amount of acceptance to the outgroup, they are no longer the outgroup, so you are no longer being open minded.

This may seem true if one can't conceive of being accepting of an outgroup. But if we apply this claim to my multiple examples of LGBT acceptance by the right (e.g., my family, Chick-fil-a) then we would (counterfactually) have to conclude that LGBT is an ingroup of the right. This contradicts your claim that "The LGBT community is an outgroup in society". It cannot simultaneously be true that LGBT is an outgroup of the right (surely a subset of society), that treating someone with respect and acceptance makes them an ingroup, and that LGBT are treated with respect and acceptance by at least some people on the right. How do you explain this contradiction?

An argument based on the definitions of "progressive" and "conservative" is no better than saying North Korea is a democracy. In the past twenty years the left has had a shocking reversion to moral puritanism, such as by policing speech. This again contradicts the definitions, so unless we claim that it's reality which is wrong, then we must abandon the original meaning of the words.

Finally, I frankly don't know how to respond to the notion that open-mindedness in the sense we're using it here, or the sense I thought we were using it here (viz. as a rough synonym of "tolerance"), has anything to do with the age of ideas. Moreover I dispute the claim that the left's ideas are primarily new, because they again seem to be a reversion to older ideas; for example, socialism (late 18th century) and the idea that society and history can only be properly be viewed through the lens of race (early to mid 20th century Germany).

Myself, I use Mini vMac to run the original HyperCard. It's endlessly fascinating, though not for practical use. https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac

Really, the web and "hypertext" is/was supposed to be the evolution of HyperCard. I occasionally get a flash of joy, a remembrance of that dream, when working on React apps with hot reload - where I'm no longer writing code, but shaping a living material.

I still believe the potential is there for a new HyperCard, some kind of participatory, visually programmable social media (in an authentic sense of the term).
And this is why you should not allow video of your child. Just tape the camera over and tell the school you don't have one. The over reach of teachers, schools, etc is verging on insane. It doesn't take much to have SWAT show up to your door and in the process of trying to take that toy gun away end up shooting the whole family dead including the cat and dog.
That’s been exactly my experience with amateur radio.

I’ve given my friends the spiel about how cool it is that I can use the EM spectrum to send my voice through the air to the other side of town. And how other people have put up repeaters which mean my voice can actually go a lot further than that —- maybe across the country!

And their response? “Sure, but I can already do that on my phone”
Show HN: Reflection.app a Better Way to Journal
The purpose of Reflection.app is to provide a simple and delightful framework to help guide you through a meaningful reflection practice. A practice that naturally builds on itself by using your entries to guide your reflection, at each step making the next milestone in your life more enjoyable and meaningful.
Reflection.app does this first by helping to identify your Highlights, Lowlights, or Free Write.
At the end of each month, you will
be guided through your highlights and lowlights to understand what brings you joy and to learn from or find peace with the past
reflect on the 6 key dimensions of Mind, Body, Soul, Work, Play, Love
When the time comes to complete your annual reflection, you will have most of the hard work already done, allowing you easily synthesize the most important moments of your past year.
In short, your daily entries help build your monthly review, and your monthly reviews help to build your annual review.
Ok, forget re-writing old loans. Why do banks continue to write new loan with terms that incentivize their debtors to turn down free money? That must hurt the default rate.

This is roughly how the collectorz.com desktop apps work. Once your service plan expires, you lose the ability to update and some cloud features, but you can always use the version you currently have (or update to the last version that was available within your service plan). If I open Movie Collector, which I had a paid subscription for but let lapse, and try to update, I get:

Your current version: 18.4 build X

You can update to version: 19.5 build X (Note: your update plan expired on 2019-XX-XX)

If you renew your update plan, you will be able to update to version: 20.6 build X

The Hoover Institution at Stanford has long supported the data-backed studies of conservative economists on disparities in schooling from Thomas Sowell, Mike Petrelli, Walter White and Chester E. Finn Jr among others.

The general conservative reaction to the mountain of data is that the studies are correct. The concern is in "what to do next?" or "Yes, the data is bad but it doesn't mean that racism lurks behind every tree."

A change in policy may result in even worse outcomes.

> It's true that trying to buy/sell bitcoins via an exchange will subject you to AML requirements, but in-person transactions won't.

Nobody does bitcoin transactions in person, at least not in America and not anyone I know. I have several bitcoins and the only way to use them is through an exchange like coinbase, who require the same identity documents that a bank does.

You could argue “but you just have to find vendors who accept bitcoin!” But with 3 bitcoin I won’t find enough vendors to spend it on.

That's a snippet of the Epilogue from "Trance-Formation of America" by Cathy O'Brien, a book about how Cathy O'Brien is either a schizophrenic or acts like one for publishers. It got spammed across Usenet right when I was into it the most, reading alt.religion.scientology and alt.fan.cecil-adams and a few others, so I got slapped across the face with it one night completely unexpected. I've since come across stranger, such as the QAnon cult, but that was my first taste of High Weirdness.
I don't think emotional offence should be treated exactly like physical harm. Different people may take offence from different actions, and it's not fair to require everyone to judge accurately what is and what is not offensive to all the other people they're going to interact with, especially in a society that is aiming for diversity. In East Asia, where most people think alike, it's easier to guess people's reaction, but it's definitely not so in other parts of the world.

For physical harm, however, ignorance should not be an excuse. It may reduce the responsibility, but it should not completely remove it. Not knowing something can kill doesn't change the fact that one had actually killed.
Drives don't support this; they're designed to operate at a single fixed RPM.
I see your point, but I wasn't listing my example as helping or hurting any cause, just how 'techies' can have influence on the broader community. If it helps, you could replace the word Brave with Firefox, for example. If I show three people, and they show three people, etc, we can have big influences on market shares.

Now as a reply to this specific comment, I've tried Firefox multiple times on Android and always hated it. So I obviously can't advocate people use something I hate. But I do wish there were more...options.
It may not have been bioavailable as oil or coal, but it is possible to sequester carbon in a way that accumulates fertility in the soil. That not only restores the declining fertility we have in general, by increasing fertility in general, people are better able to feed themselves in general.

Furthermore, greater fertility supports a greater diversity of ecosystems, which enhances the resiliency of the overall living system. Greater overall resiliency helps bring basic security to the people and the land (the basic level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), and enables us to develop our own potential (self actualization), and our relationships within our ecosystem.

As an example, carbon can be sequestered in the form of biochar. Carbon in that form is not bioavailable to plants so much as bioavailable to fungi. The fungis don’t consume it so much as live in it. It becomes hydrophillic, and allows the soil to hold a lot more water and nutrients. That in turn enables greater fertility. Since it is not consumed, it can act as a long-lasting soil amendment (greater than a thousand years).

Human-made biochar is the reason there are some spots in the Amazon that supports and holds a great deal of fertility, enough to support a vast civilization (that only got destroyed by infectious disease from Europe during the colonial period). Without biochar, the frequent rain washes away nutrients, making those part of the jungle fragile.
i had per gb pricing in new zealand. the key feature to address your issue was that i could set an upper limit, so, say start throttling the connection once i reach $50. that's the same that other ISPs would do anyways once i reached a certain amount of usage, but with this ISP i decided the limit and i could change it at any time.

the price was competitive too. other ISPs charged $70 per month, and had a limit of 50gb (that was 15 years ago)
my ISP charged $20 as base fee and $1 per gb of usage. if i used less than 50gb, i saved money, if i used more then i could...
Vibration can, in principle, be used as a propulsion technology, no?[1]

> Woodward’s MEGA drive is different. Instead of propellant, it relies on electricity, which in space would come from solar panels or a nuclear reactor. His insight was to use a stack of piezoelectric crystals and some controversial—but he believes plausible—physics to generate thrust. The stack of crystals, which store tiny amounts of energy, vibrates tens of thousands of times per second when zapped with electric current. Some of the vibrational frequencies harmonize as they roll through the device, and when the oscillations sync up in just the right way, the small drive lurches forward.

One thing to check is sleep apnea. It has become relatively straightforward to diagnose with the advent of at home sleep tests — you put on a special watch and sleep in your bed. If you have it, sleeping with a CPAP machine will be a revelation. A pulmonologist can examine and diagnose you. Highly suggest getting checked for it.

> I don't think there's anything in a Roomba that did not exist in the 1980's other than far greater computing power at a very low cost.

High energy density batteries as well.

My off-brand Roomba clone uses 4 18650 lipo cells @40-50g each, a total of ~40WHr for under 200g.

That 40WHr would need about 1kg of lead acid battery, or maybe 7-800g of NiCad battery.
There is a better available technology. Look up biochar sometime.

Yes, absolutely. On all 5 different sites I manage in fact, two on a local ISP ADSL, third on local ISP fiber, fourth on Comcast Business cable modem, and even the fifth on a small regional WISP. All of them are reliably within a few percent of their expected speed with about the frequency that one would reasonably expect from that connection class. "Up-to" is fuzzy but quite justified with many technologies. Proper fiber of course is rock solid and essentially never has issues short of a backhoe. But ADSL falls off hard with distance, and a lot of the in-house wiring it's forced through is ancient garbage phone line. Sometimes one can get a huge practical boost just from shortening/replacing line with cat 5. And WISPs obviously have to deal with inclement weather fade as well as any additional obstacles for subpar sites that customers can't/won't rectify. Cable is more of a shared resource though you get much better support and less bullshit with business class even though Comcast are bastards.

Now, I absolutely would love to see it mandated by law that somewhere upfront in ISP info to consumers it's required to have a standardized SLA. A consumer-level SLA for sure, but still have it formalized and cover all of the basics. So not just absolute max bandwidth, but 90%/50%/whatever bandwidth, any guaranteed floor, 90% latency, any data caps, any throttling criteria, etc. All categories the same and measured in a mandated standardized way so universally comparable. I don't expect data center level SLAs at all, but there isn't any reason there can't be that level of clarity.

But residential/SOHO and such service inherently has more uncertainty and more compromises and capacity multipliers to meet lower prices. I think that's ok, just that it should be laid out and not buried in some fine print or support page in the disused lavatory defended by a leopard either.

Hashes are now 256 bits. In order to get a collision with probability 1% you need to produce about 4e37 hashes. For comparison, if you had a 5GHz computer that did a SHA-256 hash every cycle and gave 100 of these computers to every human on Earth, it'd take over 300 million years to produce 4e37 hashes.
Canvas and gifs could be an opt-in feature on a per-website basis, just like notifications and webcam access.
All git objects on GitHub has unique hash in 2017 even though git uses relatively weak SHA-1. SHA-256 should be safe.

It's fairly uncontroversial that the success of decentralized protocols can promote - and sometimes, even rely upon - centralized points of engagement.

But your experiences sound like what goes on in the public trackers. It's reasonable that folks who go to Pirate Bay to get their TV shows are not going to be as engaged as those who go to TVV, MS, or MTV. There's also the security risks of letting untrusted users upload files that may get consumed by thousands of people in the first hour.

In private trackers, I have often found that uploading is encouraged, going so far as to provide very detailed guides in their wikis showing how to rip the media, prepare the torrent, and upload it to the tracker. If a better quality version can be uploaded to trump the previous version, that is also encouraged. Learning, quality, and appreciation are cornerstones of the private tracker ecosystem, in my experience.
Based on the songs being aggresively pushed by record labels, it seems that the ultimate goals of mainstream music industry are:

- To glorify violence, substance abuse, disrespect of women, domination behavior, anti-intellectualism.

- To reinforce racial stereotypes, including fear of minorities.

- To make people superficial.

Songs are an effective way to deliver a message to be repeated over and over and over again until people break and assimilate the message.
Hence my enthusiasm :-)
The new Pee Wee movie. Death Note was a remake. They made a movie as a sequel to Breaking Bad. They also pick up many series that were canceled elsewhere, like Arrested Development. The Sandler movies are technically original, though at this point his stuff is as much a franchise as Madea.

But, yeah, they do pick up a lot of original and niche stuff too. They're the only reason the romantic comedy is still a thing, for instance.
They seem to have lied elsewhere like in store pages (per other HN comments), but the datasheets specifically only mention "Performance Class" being "5400 RPM Class", which may be misleading but is not a lie IMO.
Only if blocks have the same offset in the same binary and if they align with the block boundaries. Otherwise, different hashes would be generated. I don't expect that to happen a lot.
