I think it's easier to explain (as a materialist, which I am) if you posit that what has been disrupted is not the real-time sensory and self-awareness functions of the mind,

but those of encoding memory of those experiences,

memory being the necessary stack layer through which this all transpires.

Metaphorically, remember how skipping CDs sound?

Generating and recording the same stream of sound is possible but as you say, "hard," but if the same outcome can through a relatively trivial disruption of a different part of the system...

(I have intentionally made glitch music of various kinds... the fast path is always to force failure modes in the tools, not to try to replicate them through intentional construction :))

To add my own observation of the alternate experience of time on psychedelics: one reason I have loved the 2C family is the recurring perception that the entropic arrow hides from us that all states (T - N, T, and probably T + N) exist eternally all the time; the "we" of any given moment T merely experience it as illusory flow.

As more and more friends die, and other things are lost, it is deeply reassuring to imagine that this might be so–that those people and things are still "there" in a literal real sense, even, nearby in some sense...

...just not one we are privy to given the limits of our embodiment.

Not something I suspect is falsifiable,

but if I'm going to have faith in something, as an aetheist,

this is as deep a well of peace as I have found.
Economies not only produce, they also take. For example, two free people could engage in free trade where one is holding a gun and the other voluntarily gives up their wallet. At scale we call that a Trade Agreement.
> But the apps themselves still show "Sandboxed" when they aren't

Redefining the term and then claiming that what someone else meant by it is not in line with what you meant with it is ... well it is messed up.

They are sandboxed, but rightly Gimp has access to your whole filesystem because that is what people who install it expect.

Of the 30 apps I have installed via flatpak only 6 have access to the whole FS or my entire home directory (Zotero=home, Krita=host, KolorPaint=host, Inkscape=host, Gimp=host, Geeqie=host), and of those 6 only 1 (Zotero) of them seems like it may be fine without it.

Having access to the host FS in no way mean to me that Geeqie is not "sandboxed". It just means that what I would expect is the case. If you want to change it, go open up flatseal and change it.
> many high-value art thefts in the past ten to fifteen years has been the potential for stolen works to be used as collateral linked to drug deals.

This is alluded to, twice, but not explained. Is this a form
of money laundering, or a deal at a distance - contraband is
delivered in country A, artwork in country B? I don’t see
how “collateral” plays a part, unless one party “loans” drugs
in exchange for artwork, and the second party pays off the loan and recovers the artwork after selling the drugs onward.
What stresses do you have in mind?

(I'm a third-year right now and I've had nothing to stress about and nothing to do. I just read HN and developer blogs all day. I'd definitely hesitate to say I'm an adult.)
Tangent: what interface do you use instead of Kodi etc?

On my (Silverblue) laptop I've been using a simple video player (Celluloid), youtube_dl/get_iplayer/bashpodder, plus a bash script to select and play the “next” episode.

That works nicely for recorded/downloaded audio and video, but doesn't address live streams.
That's still a subset ;)

Hey, this link is super interesting thanks so much for linking it! I really like their concept of a spatial dimension to meeting people virtually (reminds me a bit of onlinetown).

For the purposes of "breaks" though, considering all the zoom fatigue that people face, I was thinking of something that pairs people together for a more hands-free interaction (like audio or phone call) which allows people to actually walk around or brew coffee or whatever, just like when they're on break in a physical office.
At least until a few years back only fax was considered 'in writing', so if like a lawyer wanted to submit an appeal to a court it either had to be a letter or a fax, no email. Now the government invented a new authenticated email system which supposedly is like 'in writing'

Sure, but doesn't the TOS harm the user by restricting their access to their own data? Facebook might have a case but you can't possibly paint them as a victim here.
Thank you, and to others as well who have mentioned --incremental! I can't believe I never thought to look at the documentation for `jekyll serve`. This will make my life much easier.

Another note on using Hugo. I have really enjoyed working with Hugo, both for the speed and for the overall experience. I ran into an issue where the table of contents was not rendering properly. I believe it's a known bug, perhaps just with some themes. Since I'm not familiar with Go yet, I came up with a quick fix by writing a quick Python script that converts all the incorrect TOC links to the correct links for my site. It's plenty fast for me, and I can always make it faster by using bash or sed, or learning a little Go and patching Hugo. At some point I'd like to do that just to contribute back to the project. So it's quite possible to use a static site generator in a language you're less familiar with, and create quick tooling scripts around it for any issues you run into that you don't want to deal with in the generator's native language.
Nah, those off the wall conversations where nice. I do miss them.

Walking with people after lunch bs'ing about whatever was always enriching for me.
> almost all theories of this ilk tend to be dismissed because they break the laws of physics.

Actually no.

Theories of this ilk which demonstrate their consistency with laws of physics to the level of observations already made and significantly beyond, tend to end up studied more, by more people.

Especially ones that take an unusual angle, and end up deriving existing laws of physics almost as a surprising side effect. It suggests a useful insight.

Even better if they take an unusual angle, predict some differences from assumed existing laws but only in unusual circumstances nobody has tried to observe so far, and are consistent with those laws in areas already observed.

Or ones which explain existing laws better than current explanations. Notably the inconsistencies between general relativity and quantum mechanics mean that anything which can explain both at the same time and give correct answers to both is quite interesting.

The ones that get dismissed quickly are those which aren't consistent with laws of physics that are already assumed, especially at the level of existing observations.
Whilst I have some sympathy with your stance I feel some of the nuance and complexity might be being lost.

Hey there! I am the same poster from before and I apologize for the initial post. I think that post got suppressed by HN for some reason. I suspect it's because it somehow spiked up 5 upvotes and I fear they thought I linked it to people or used bots or something.
My understanding was that he provided the strong evidence (by experimenting on himself), and things changed. If he'd provided the evidence then been told to take a running jump by everyone else, I'd say you have a point.
Are you saying that because (JavaScript!) functions have a "length" property representing number of arguments, they are all O(N) (or greater)? (btw I don't see how "this" fits in here.)

The only way I can see it making sense is because a function could take arbitrarily many arguments. Why on earth would that matter if the function doesn't do anything with those arbitrarily many arguments? We may not know in advance what a caller gives to a function, but of course we know what the function does with its arguments--it's a function's body that we're analyzing and classifying a Big-O for!
Curious why do you trust (in cases where trust is even required) wikipedia ?

I still am holding out hope for progressive complexity to be adopted by the UI & product worlds across the verticals, but anything meaningful here needs to be something engineering can solve across problem domains. I don't know if that's actually possible. The ideal system could support more power user use cases without increased technical maintenance burden/UI complexity & designer burden on a per-feature basis/& product clarity. That seems like a tall order.

To me I think it depends what your power user cohort looks like. Are your power users also where you make your money? Are they an important cohort to learn from to innovate to stay ahead of competition? Are they organic advocates for the product spreading the word & building brand value for you?

Which case kind of determines how I would adjust business strategy. If they're revenue drivers, then tailor the UI to them from the get-go. If new users are important to continue growing the power user revenue base, make the new -> expert conversion easy (separate sign-up flow, ways to identify how to get them access to the power tools they need without overwhelming them, etc). This doesn't even have to be UI changes. Could be training materials, courses, hands-on experiments, sandboxes etc to ramp up beginners to where they want to spend revenue.

If they're providing market research to maintain your edge, then maybe some amount of progressive discovery instead (e.g. an advanced drop-down for a given screen to tune the knobs, API to automate, or whatever is relevant for your business). Maybe some good task-oriented documents to help new users ramp up to be power users.

If they're advocates then do what you can to make them happy or excited. Some times holding off on a popular feature can build some excitement about the launch to increase the reach of the announcement to attract more customers. Avoid massive redesigns that break them or build a gradual transition plan (don't pull a Digg). Feature requests are important to listen to but don't necessarily need to be addressed to keep good will (like what Yelp did/does with incentives for power Yelp reviewers). For technical things, giving them a bit of outsized attention to solving bugs that are friction-causing might be warranted to maintain the good will.
Can anyone point me to a discussion of how this helps a system without an accurate time bootstrap itself to the point that it can perform a TLS session?

I skimmed the RFC itself, and it depends on TLS. But TLS depends on having an accurate time. I didn't specifically spot where the bootstrap problem was discussed. What did I miss?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Indoor growing would allow us to replicate certain conditions that vineyard managers want. Vine nutrient stresses, water stresses, direct light exposure, swings in temp, all doable using hydroponics in a greenhouse. We might even set up different greenhouses for different varieties, or for different levels of berry maturity. As I understand it, most of the different flavors between wines of the same variety come from decisions made during the winemaking process. You can make two very different tasting wines from the exact same grapes (they did this experiment at UC Davis). Choice of yeast, fermentation temperature, maceration time etc. all contribute as you mentioned. My goal is not to replace the vineyard, as I need a source for the cuttings :). This would just augment what they already have for now.
What do we do with a theory that conforms to every measurement ever made, but whose predictions aren’t testable? After all, we’re already there. We’ll never measure the interior of a black hole, for example. I think our theory selection criteria needs work.
Consider the film "They Shall Not Grow Old" in which WW1 footage was painstakingly restored and colorized. They went and found old uniforms and weapons to check the colors. They went to the present-day locations to check the colors of the grass and trees. Etc.

I had been getting frustrated with my Oneplus and upgrade to an S10, and every once in awhile I wish that I hadn't. It's death by a thousand cuts, from engineers and management who have no respect for the user. Off the top of my head, within the past week, I've had:

* The wifi slows down to <1mbps every morning. Restarting wifi fixes this.
* The entire bixby button. It can finally be remapped, but occasional double taps (like using volume in the dark) will still open it.
* The weather 'Current temperature' widget updates every two days. Current temperature. Current. Two days.
* Random notifications to sign up for Samsung services that I don't want. You cannot swipe them away. You have to open the app and decline their EULA to get rid of it.
* Disappearing notifications
* Needing to reboot every week, or getting slowdowns
* Only two years of updates (an entire android problem)

Obviously all of these problems can be fixed, and many aren't exclusive to samsung, but dealing with all of them continuously is just grating. I had been planning to buy a Samsung Frame TV before I heard all this stuff about their ads.
Same taste outcome here. Coffee and Coke Zero became very disappointing. I was swabbed and confirmed diagnosed with it.

It really did me in and I’m not sure I completely recovered form it yet. Took me 3 months after it was over to be able to run more than 30 seconds again. I could do a 5km run easily before. It’s a struggle now. But I’m in my 40’s so I expected a longer recovery cycle.
99% of the people being vilified as “alt-right”, “right wing extremists”, “militias”, etc. are fringe libertarians. If there were actual voter intimidation I would fully expect that they be on your side.
I might be misreading your message. I'm a bit short of sleep and such at the moment.

But if I weren't already extremely good about assuming good intentions and interpreting the actions of others through a lens of benign and reasonable motives, I couldn't have stayed this long.

The problem is that me understanding why guys do the things they do and yadda keeps the focus on guys and how important their feelings and what not are and fails to move anything forward in terms of me resolving my very real issues with trying to make ends meet.

I spent a ton of time in therapy because I was sexually abused as a kid and I have thought a lot about it and if just sleeping my way to a solution would work, I would have no qualms about doing that.

The problem is that I don't get treated like an actual person whether the answer to sex is "yes" or "no." In neither case does it ever lead to me being able to establish some kind of earned income for something other than sex work, in essence.

Honest to god, if just sleeping with a guy would open career doors for me, I would take that option in like a heartbeat. But it doesn't work. (See Theranos for evidence of how very poorly that works.) My last two serious boyfriends were supposedly potential career contacts and they never did the first thing for my career aspirations.

Once a guy gets sexually involved with me, sex is all it is. And if he doesn't get sexually involved with me, in most cases that means he doesn't get involved with me at all. (And I don't think that's "just me." Again: See Theranos for an example of how poorly it works to intentionally try to open doors for your career by sleeping with men with money.)

Most men do not want to support my work, promote my work, discuss my work, open doors for me career-wise, etc etc etc etc etc.

And that leaves me unable to establish an income while having to listen to the same really lousy explanations, dismissals, sympathetic noises and so forth year in and year out while my income barely budges.
That's because the scenario you've mentioned does not describe these households. The problem here is that there are adults who are partially or wholly supported by their parents in a house where they are not living with (nor was it designed for them to live with) a spouse or children.
How US Chemical Companies Endeared Themselves to the Public
I've been thinking a lot about this a related topic lately -- how much of our lives and the things we find ourselves doing are tasks that are imposed upon us by others. I'm trying to come up with strategies to minimize this, which I guess is related to "saying no" to a lot of things. But I'm not sure the ideal path. Let me give some (non-work) examples:

I flew back from Europe on Wednesday, and the airline misplaced my luggage. To get it back, they've imposed a ton of steps on ME. "Here's your reference number. Call our customer support in 24 hours. Follow-up every day until you get it" is what I was told (and what I'll have to do).

It seems unfair that an act that was 0% my fault results in at least several hours of tasks for me. I have to follow-up. I have to wait on hold. I have to spend time thinking and wondering if my luggage will ever show up.

How do we avoid this? Getting angry doesn't work (trust me, they've been yelled at). Ignoring it doesn't work - no luggage will show up. So I guess the only real solution would be to have a personal assistant or otherwise hire someone to deal with situation like this for me? That seems out of reach for most people.

All sorts of things are like that -- if someone sues you, they've imposed literally dozens of hours of work and thousands of dollars of expenses on you entirely without your say. You can delegate as much as you want to a lawyer, but you'll still need to gather documents, think about strategies, and of course pay your lawyer.

So how does one really truly say "no" to things & delegate undesirable tasks unless one has enough money to afford such delegation? I'm not sure I have a good answer to this one yet.

Thoughts?
The deterrence effect could help protect future investors. The alternative is going after all the decision makers involved I guess?

Depends on the type of application, 99.9% of Wikimedia users are using the site without being logged in.

If the site doesn't work without being logged in you could frustrate users and they might just use a different product instead of searching for their login after being logged in for a year or longer.
That doesn't seem difficult; just don't change the format of the session tokens.

Eg a web application: you can substantially rewrite a web application, without invalidating logged in sessions.

The point here is that the logged in sessions were suspected of being unauthorized. The unauthorized sessions had to be turfed, and the clearest way of being sure that all unauthorized sessions are turfed is to delete all the sessions.

Of course, some those with unauthorized access will also try to log in to resume that unauthorized access, but presumably there is some trap laid for that.

Maybe for the accounts suspected of having been breached, there will be a mandatory password recovery procedure or whatever. Or they will monitor for suspicious logins from different IP addresses.

Circuit Breaker Pattern and its States: Build better software
With every service/third-party API's implementation in a system, it adds up an uncertainty around it. Circuit Breaker pattern helps in building resilient systems, handling error gracefully and prevents applications from failing through cascading.
As per Martin Fowler: The basic idea behind the circuit breaker is very simple. You wrap a protected function call in a circuit breaker object, which monitors for failures. Once the failures reach a certain threshold, the circuit breaker trips, and all further calls to the circuit breaker return with an error, without the protected call being made at all.

Check out dev.to post. It has Examples codes with success and failure scenarios written in Javascript.
