I believe there was a previous YC startup that did this... maybe... I’ve definitely used an app to do this for like $1. I think they even sent it to England.

Still great idea!
If it all holds up, it means that we saw evidence of alien life for a hundred-plus years (the "unknown absorbers") before we realized it and verified it. Point being, humans can be "slow on the uptake" (and not unreasonably so, given the distances, time scales, and complexities involved).

See also the Silurian Hypothesis [0], which I think just got a lot more interesting as a thought experiment.

You forgot the cell phone. No one is ever bored anymore, and all those serendipitous discoveries no longer happen.

When was the last time you heard of a real genius? Or something genuinely new, rather than just slightly better than what came before it?
Without commenting on the overall thesis, it's inaccurate to say that if Apple removes Fortnite from the AppStore that it is also removed from users phones.

Anyone who has already purchased Fortnite via the AppStore can still use it on their phone, in whatever version they had downloaded prior to the removal.
To support the statement that Series A is much harder: only ~30% of YC companies get to Series A (Michael Seibel gave that figure in one interview). So even with YC backing, 2/3rds of funded seed-level startups either quit, die, merge, or get hired rather than take-off.
Having a date format that's different from the rest of the whole world to optmise for the case of being cutoff when speaking doesn't sound super reasonable.

I'm a bit skeptical about their presumption to be both an app store and a phone provider, but ok, I guess.

Unfortunately, it seems the "security-focused" phone is only for very rich people. I mean, ok, if you can afford a new iPhone you can also afford this, but most people in the world can't spend half this much on a phone.
That's a ridiculous system. "Everybody knows when it's ok to have more baby diapers in the trash" as a temporary hallway pass is a symptom of a failed mindset.

Sorry, going to need you to expand on that. Individual states in the States have far less regulatory power than nation-states in the EU.
That makes sense too!

I think by most people's definitions yours is closer to the standard. My wife did not grow up in the 6MM city like I did but towns of 70,000, 500,000, and 3,000 respectively, and she thinks my "It's not a city unless it's over 1MM people" take is the highpoint of douchey elitist snobbery.

I think that "keep everything in your head" is a reasonable cutting off point. Despite me scoffing at that "only 3 ramen restaurants" city I lived in, it's not like i know and have been to every restaurant in the place. A town you probably would be able to go to each one if you wanted to after a year.

The trust you have in the phone company is another target of attack than the one discussed here, the fact that operators need to trust closed source blobs in their networks, often times provided by other states with strategic interests in what goes on over their networks.
Not saying I give credence to the original comment about noise being the cause but most cruising sailboats have engines and in the Mediterranean they are used quite often because the wind is often not sufficient to sail. The Mediterranean is called the Med for short and there is a joke that Med actually stands for "Motor Every Day".

I'm highly suspect of any legal team containing a QAnon extremist, and I'm not using that word lightly or attempting to smear, "the other side." QAnon is a conspiracy that launders traditional blood libel myths with a desired end goal of having Trump lock up the political opposition. You can't be a reputable source and adhere to those beliefs.

They used two different observatories (James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array) to confirm the signal. The chances of both being wrong in the exact same way is very low.

There are a lot of cloud telephony companies that'd vend you a number and gladly connect your calls over the Internet so that you avoid roaming fees [0].

I think many had a similar experience with Firebug, including me. I remembering coming across it for the first time in an issue of Dr Dobb's. I read the article wide-eyed. Truly a "game changer" worthy of the term.
This is in large part why we consider measurements probabilistically too.

LIGO could be wrong, sure, but that's why it's measured twice. The results fit numerical predictions by general relativity that we think the probability of it being wrong is very low. It might not be, but we could be inside a Boltzmann brain too.
This applies to any internet discussion site that doesn’t list your entire background, which is basically every internet site. How many people do you think does the same thing in HN? I’d say it’s most of them.

There is no way to tell whether you are debating a child on the internet.
I haven't spent a lot of time with Java, but you can generally compile old java source with new compilers as well as run old java bytecode with new runtimes. Old and new code can interact with reasonable limits. You may be limited by the available runtime depending on where you need to run code, of course.

The same is true for Erlang/BEAM/OTP. You can even dist connect old and new VMs as long as you're careful not to send things the old VM won't understand (like Maps to a BEAM from before Maps). Erlang does tend to actually remove deprecated things after a few releases, unlike Java though, so it can be difficult to support more than two or three releases.

In both Java and Erlang, you can upgrade before your dependencies, at least most of the time, but that doesn't seem to be the case for python 2 -> 3, which means people are stuck on 2 when they want to use 3, until their dependencies update or they take over or abandon them. That's not a quick process which is why people are still upset.
But isn’t it consuming energy? Where is that kilowatt going?
The problem is: what if it was closed before it got the answer? Closed questions can’t receive answers.
Well, I don't really mean it's for the protection of the case that your sentence gets cut off -- when is that going to happen in practice. I meant in terms of word order when thinking about the concept of date from general to specific, (I at least) think it's more logical. And in yyyy-mm-dd, it comes first.

But, yes it is only a convention. We do lots of other things in society without similar rationale.
No I believe laws SHOULD be based on on some deeper truth, that deeper truth for libertarians is The Philosophy of Liberty also known as the Self Ownership Principle [1]

Good, Ethical and Moral law is then derived from this objective principle

unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. The law has been used to destroy its own objective. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense. [2]

I'm also on Fi and love it for the reasons you mentioned BUT keep in mind that swapping your SIM for a local plan is a lot cheaper, on average. In Eastern Europe for USD$10/month you get unlimited data and you can have people call you.

The one thing I don't like is I can't have people call my number because it's a US number and it costs them extra to call it in Europe.
Maybe I wasn’t clear. Even if the government publishes the source of whatever I am interacting with how do I know the source they publish is the same source I am interacting with?

I also adopted the yyyy-mm-dd format, some time in the 90's.
I later moved from Australia (dd-mm-yyyy) to the US (mm-dd-yyyy) and continued to use yyyy-mm-dd during my time there.

I believe yyyy-mm-dd is the usual format in Japan, but I'm amazed that it hasn't seen more popular adoption worldwide, given the difficulties it solves.

You won’t ever produce a perfect imitation. UIs based on third-party toolkits are always a pain, stuck in the uncanny valley. They look somewhat like they should, but have all sorts of quirks that break useability: text fields that don’t support standard shortcuts, weird layouts, wrong fonts, buttons that cannot be selected with the keyboard, etc.

It is much, much better to use Apple’s toolkits.
To some extent yes, but at some point the amount of effort might not outweigh the benefits.

There are limits to how much time and effort it is worth to debunk a perpetual motion device (a term usually reserved for something that violates the conservation of energy but the conservation of momentum is close enough, or perhaps even equivalent under special relativity).

Your phone contains records of all the actions you take with those affordances. What you are looking at, who you are talking to, messages you've sent, inside and outside apps, plus a time series of sensor data that position you and can give audio/video of you at all times...it is foolish not to treat access to this device with great care.
> The issue is that the majority of fear against nuclear comes from nuclear weapons and improper management.

But aren't these valid sources of fear?

War is still a thing and Uranium enrichment can be used for both nuclear power plants as well as nuclear weapons.

Improper management is something that is hard to control. Usually the people who live nearby a nuclear power plant have absolutely no insight into how the plant is managed. So why should they be confident in everything being fine. Human error is inevitable and has led to numerous accidents. Why shouldn't this happen again?

The first time I heard of Jugaad was in Katherine Eban's "Bottle of Lies". The book goes into the ethically dubious shortcuts taken by companies like Rambaxy to make profits, in the name of Jugaad.

Hi folks! This idea came to life after a friend asked for a guide to get started using the terminal on their MacBook. Though there are sites/pages that are workable, none quite matched the goals of approachability, accessibility, great UX, and performance that I was aiming for.

Terminal Cheat Sheet is the result of the collaboration between me and my friend [1] to try to meet those goals.

It maximizes approachability through straightforward content and localizing, accessibility through best practices like WCAG [2], and performance through the use of static content. It's also meant to complement, not replace, options like man pages or detailed user guides.

We started with the most essential commands and a few guides for now, and we're really looking for constructive feedback. Would this help folks get up and running on the terminal for the first time? What additional guides would help with that? Are you interested in helping us translate to other languages?

If you have any questions or ideas, please comment, reach out, or add an issue to the repo. PRs welcomed [3].

I yet haven't done the work to validate this completely to my own satisfaction, but there is another view worth considering here: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_fight_desertif...

I do think that scientific reductionism is a blind spot, one that I've been as guilty of as anyone else. Economics has the same issue, because it was fashionable to imitate physics...
I think the largest barrier for FOSS is still that the greater public doesn't know about FOSS, at all, and even less at the concept level. Because FOSS largely is still not on the daily political agenda, there's no actual talk among the wider masses about the reasons why FOSS is important, or what it actually means. Without wider discussion it's harder for it to gain foothold, as it is very much a political question, when it comes to use of FOSS in government.

Although, this seems to be slowly changing. In Finland, YLE (the national broadcasting company) has recently been systematically bringing up the open source nature of the national Covid app in their reporting.

I think there's a larger cultural revolution waiting for its turn, behind the current open source revolution that has been happening so far mostly in the software field.

In its core, open source is a cultural thing, and maybe a political one, one that due to reasons that were, did found rooting and cultivation initially in the field of software. Regardless of its origins, it's a wider movement that could disrupt every aspect of content creation, if realized as such. E.g. the same discussion that is being had in this thread and in the original article, about FOSS in government, largely applies to a wide field of other types of content created by governments.

One of the larger, self created obstacles for open source lies in the definition itself. Open source is still being defined primarily in the realm of software, and through software. Names and definitions such as FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) reprise this problem by anchoring the concept to the world of software, and in this case, it happens already in the name. Instead of FOSS, maybe we should be talking about FOS software?

I think the world could do well with a concept of open source that could be unleashed on all types of content created [1]. FOSS could probably do well, with the larger umbrella concept of FOS hitting daily discussion.

Interestingly, open source as a term doesn't have this package, as source can mean more than just source code.

[1] Creative commons already exists, but that's mainly a license, to be used in certain fields of content creation, not a wider definition for the concept.
Orion is an impractical idea but the risks do seem manageable.

In "peacetime" it could never launch from the ground, but assembled in space it could be fruitful. It's probably the only possible way to get a city of people off the planet.
Why would it be confirmation of Great Filter? It's quite possible that life is abundant in the galaxy but that intelligent life is not common and especially industrialized civilizations.
Venus has extreme heat and pressure at its surface. The temperature is around 500C, and the pressure is nearly 100 Bar (about the pressure at 3000ft depth). That is indeed hellish, and this is indeed a good question.
The thinking seems to go like this:

1. phosphine is found on earth in low-oxygen environments that harbor life (e.g., swamps)

2. abiological routes to phosphine, although known, require unusual reagents and/or elevated temperatures

This 2019 article gives some background:

https://news.mit.edu/2019/phosphine-aliens-stink-1218

Here's some evidence of phosphine production in a swamp:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/014663...

This leaves (2), which is a bear because it states a negative. The claim that the phosphine on Venus is biological in origin requires no feasible route to the substance given the known chemistry of the planet's atmosphere.

Given that Venus' atmosphere is a complex mixture held at very high temperature and pressure, the "sign" seems pretty weak here.
You'd be surprised. VCs will often respond to cold calls because part of their job is to cultivate connections with people who will be starting the Next Big Thing. The best way to do that is to get them into their rolodex before they get on anyone else's radar.

But be careful what you wish for. Getting the cold call response and even the first meeting is relatively easy. But it is also easy to exhibit a level of cluelessness that will get you blackballed, and if that happens you will probably never know it. So that first meeting can be very much a two-edged sword. You only get one chance to make a first impression.
Does it violate the conservation of energy though? I don't think that was proposed.
That could be it, but it also could be just that all the low hanging fruit is all taken. Like Newton is a genius for coming up with an equation for making delta-x really small, I could have come up with that and I don't even dabble in alchemy.
A good UI is the one that the user doesn't notice. That means it has to be intuitive and consistent, and shouldn't ever distract the user.

Distractions include sudden popups that aren't the result of an immediately preceding interaction (looking at you, iOS). And those login forms. No one ever wants to see a login form for something they've already logged into from this browser/device.

Also, it might seem silly to point out, but use your goddamn product yourself the way your users would. That alone really helps with many UI/UX issues.
Orbit is actually a very dynamic and variable place. The Earth’s gravitational fields varies due to asymmetric mass distribution of the continental shelves, mountain ranges and features below the crust. Our atmosphere has an affect on satellites at even thousands of km altitude. The magnetic field is constantly shifting and can affect the orbits of metallic satellites. Then there’s the solar wind. This is why a lot of satellites need station keeping thrusters. Decent thrust would be observable, but very small rates of thrust that are hard to measure at all in the lab could be swamped by these effects and just as hard to measure in orbit, if not more so.
