OP here, thanks for reading! You hit the nail on the head. Put more casually, there are a lot of startup problems that arise due to people fiddling around with stuff that should have just been left alone (I always picture my parents yelling at my siblings and I as kids to "stop touching that"). In many cases, attempting to fix a problem is strictly worse for your startup's health than not touching things at all.
Needless self-promotion; this is why I came up with this template, to build secure electron apps. It is obvious that current industry has not caught up with secure practices for Electron apps, and I hope this template can help people in their endeavors.

Wow, that house sold for $3.6M on Mar 1, 2001 according to the records on the county's website and is now for sale for only $2.5M, if it can get that. ~$71k in property taxes per year and rising, that's a tough pill to swallow.

Also, an hour away with zero traffic to Manhattan means you need to budget 2 hours during non covid times outside of the dead of night.
Personally, I always found that LyX kinda defeated the purpose of writing documents in LaTeX. The focus is supposed to be on the content rather than how it looks. This does sort of require that you have a good handle on all the commands you are likely to need while writing the document, but it didn't take me that long to learn all the common mathematical symbols I would use and most of my document structure would be templated.
What is the point of this comment? communities of people of colour and the poor were being brutalised by police and school shootings were regular occurrences long before the Trump presidency.
OP said Republican policies, which you reframed as conservative vs liberal, while ignoring the middle moderate column.

Many conservative and even some moderate voters might prefer to vote Republican but are uncomfortable doing so due to the current Republican platform which is not only not conservative, but also unwelcoming to anyone but straight white men and their allies.

On GOP policies:

> GOP leads on the economy but trails on other issues, including the coronavirus. By 49% to 40%, registered voters are more likely to say the Republican Party, rather than the Democratic Party, can do a better job on the economy. The Democratic Party holds wide leads on several issues, including climate change, abortion and contraception, health care, issues involving race and ethnicity, and handling the public health impacts of the coronavirus outbreak. Nearly half of voters (47%) say the Democratic Party could do a better job in handling the public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak, compared with 35% who say the GOP could do better.

But is there any physical way to distinguish these fundamentally different situations? If not, then perhaps the fundamentalness of it is just an artifact of the formulation.

I'm thinking of solar neutrinos which, for a while, we weren't sure if they were massless or not. We had to observe them experiencing a duration of time to conclude they were massive. If we didn't find that, maybe it was just an even shorter duration, not the absence of one and we would never be able to tell the difference.
I'm still reading through the code and the paper, but this sounds actually amazing.

I planned on integrating a self-signing intermediary certificate for TLS anyways, so that peer-to-peer communication can be encrypted without a thirdparty handshake.

It sounds like this would integrate very nicely as a hashing/verification mechanism for shared caches. Thanks much for the hint!

Soil around here is very hard. For years I struggled to dig even the shallowest of holes for planting things, laying pipes, etc. Holes that would take me months to dig, one painful weekend at a time, I can now get done in 10 minutes. Weirdest tool I've bought, but it has saved me literally years of effort at this point.

I guess the generalized message is just buy the best and most specific tool up front. The time saved by proper tools is totally worth it.

LAX was supposed to have a direct rail connection 20 years ago from the green line, but you can thank private parking lot owners for trenching up local opposition and the FAA for driving in the death knell on that effort. It does have a shuttle connection to the green line, and in the near future that shuttle will be replaced with a people mover.
> But there aren't any early investors in Exxon (for example) cashing out this way.

The process is continuous, until the day Exxon dies or closes shop. The chain of "cashing out" needs to be maintained for the chain to even exist in the first place.

If there were no "secondary" investors, then the only way for an initial investor to reap their returns is via the profits generated, which can be many many years away.

But these "secondary" investors are in the same position - they may want to only invest for a set interval of time. So they have to "cash out" by selling to "tertiary" investors. And so on.

And as a company becomes more mature, their expected returns are more certain, and also lower (i.e., lower risk). So the tertiary investors are people who don't want to take high risks, and want a steady stream of income.

The problem i have with a lot of people's misconception is that they think that buying/selling shares are useless activities, and does not benefit the overall economy.
Yeah but you don't lounge around and rub your face on most of your electronic devices. I don't think your cellphone screen counts.
While I think this particular stance is a bit extreme I do agree that some of Google's larger signals have been heavily gamified and even though they change them up every few years they've had a hard time combating people who try to play the system. I very much think that looking into alternative ranking methods less subject to gaming is a good idea.
The closest thing we have in the US is this proposed legislation: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/357...

If you read it I think its pretty clear that whatever they are talking about is totally unrelated to crypto.

But just thinking through it, the properties of crypto are the polar opposite of what a central bank wants out of the monetary system.

The last 80 years since Bretton woods has been the story of the US trying to centralize global markets around the dollar. The last thing they want is something that is either distributed or permissionless.

If you read the wiki for CBDCs it acknowledges this at the end after paying a bunch of lip service to how they were "inspired" by crypto.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_bank_digital_currenc...

> In contrast to cryptocurrencies, a central bank digital currency would be centrally controlled (even if it was on a distributed database), and so a blockchain or other distributed ledger would not be required or useful - even as they were the original inspiration for the concept.[24][25

This is hard for me to follow, but this is what I was able to gather: Filecoin developers have set expensive hardware requirements to be a Filecoin miner, as well as expensive staking requirements. The mining is also highly centralized with insiders. Third party miners are disappointed because they can't mine despite costly investments.

Is this summary correct?

My take on possible consequences: no one likes excessive centralization in a crypto commodity. This hurts the adoption and value of Filecoin. Filecoin miners and investors may also dump Filecoin holdings.
Thank you for building this!
Honestly, the whole thing reads as a conspiracy fed by an anonymous (outdated?) source, and the Wikileaks-esque drip of leaks "culminating with full headers!" doubles down on feeling more like a cry for attention/help than an actual argument against (or even proof of) any kind of manual penalty actually being applied.

I wonder if it’s possible for creators to successfully defend products from imitators. I’ve heard it’s rife on amazon and haven’t heard any practical solution. E.g was chatting to a very popular artist a few days ago and his only solution is to keep innovating and try to outpace the copycats.
Yes.

The stats are at https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/smittskydd-beredskap/utb... . For non-IE browsers see https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6... for plots.

On the right top is "Sjukdomsfall per dag" - "illness cases per day". You can see the big peak ending around early July, and the new peak rising. Of course there's better ability to detect cases.

On the right middle is "Nya intensivvårdade fall per dag" - "new intensive care cases per day". IT's about 1/10th of the April peak, but at 2-3/day is several times higher than the low point of 1 about every 2-3 days.

On the right bottom is "Avlidna per dag" - "deaths per day". It's harder to tell without smoothing, but it seem to have increased too.
I took a degree in engineering decades ago, but I have had this in the back my mind even longer. I haven't done anything with it, but have finally begun dinking with microcontrollers.

I would expect a sandblast to be worse to get in your eye than a flash of light. So, you would still need good large-body sensors. You would need to lead the target, another complication, and it would be hard to know how close you had got. The ones that miss would keep going and come down somewhere, although not fast. The range would be very limited because of how fast the grains would slow down -- drag goes by the area, but kinetic energy by the mass, hence volume, so smaller projectiles lose it very fast.
Neither! It's actually a reference to one of my favorite artists [1]

> I have a brick walls in my house. I used dynobolts to put my TV mount on the wall. If I ever decide the floors is lava, and jump onto the wall grabbing my TV. I can be sure that those bolts will hold me. :D

Don't be so sure. They may be rated to hold your weight under 1G of acceleration, but jumping onto the wall will apply a lot of jerk (j = ∆a), quite possibly exceeding the tolerances of the bolts or anchors (or more likely, that of the wall material they are anchored to, or even more likely, that of the mount or the TV itself).

You couldn't possibly prevail in a lawsuit against the manufacturer for failing to engineer the TV's mounting points to withstand an additional, say, 350-500lbs of force, however briefly applied, so it is probably safe to say that they are not too terribly likely to do so. Withstand it, that is.
There must be a better way. I work on a project that does lidar scanning now to track construction progress and its a beast. Keeping up with the latest data is a huge problem (and this is not a tech problem, its a people problem). Issues are raised that are not really issues and so forth due to ever changing data in a project.

Image scanning is a stepping stone to true project tracking which I am hoping to work on next! Wish I could say more.

In my eyes, headers such as "Matt Cutts lies" loses a lot of credibility for Walter (the author of the complaint).

IMHO, Matt Cutts (when he was at Google) had no incentive to lie to anyone, as he could simply ignore any questions from the website owners who wanted his response.

The fact that Matt actually bothered responding suggests that he was trying to help. He may have failed to help because he just didn't care enough, or ran out of time, or didn't understand what's going on, etc. But referring to his attempt as "lies" tells me a lot about Walter. In particular, it tells me that Walter isn't the type of person I'd like to help. Why bother, if things don't go to his satisfaction, he might just call me a "liar" later.
It actively writes the public narrative and fills the space in your head but the toxicity is in forcing out that what should have been there. The things that should have been there ideally are feedback loops. Their rewards and punishments encourage you to do your own practical goal oriented thinking. Your head is filled with the war effort therefore you didn't plant that first fruit tree, the other trees and bushes that should have followed didn't happen and you are not eating the fruit reminding you of what you did every year that followed. You in stead read about Chiquita murdering employees and want to buy a banana.

Using a bidet dramatically reduces body odor. It enables naked sleeping. It enhances spontaneous adult activities.

Getting used to a bidet takes about 2 days. After that, dry wiping will seem backward, like using leaves or corn cobs.

Get a simple manual one. I use a Luxe brand bidet that I bought for $40, six years ago. It still works fine.

I mean --- if you thought it was safe, wouldn't you prefer children's clothing to be less flamible?

Children can be very heavy sleepers and not hear smoke alarms, and even if they do wake up, they might have a harder time getting out of a burning building than adults, so having a bit extra time because their clothes didn't catch fire would be helpful.

Seems like a good idea, until you consider the negatives of the fire retardants, and then you have a complex decision to make.
The layman descriptions are probably incomplete or rough abstractions missing nuance. Reminds me of the idea of a rubber membrane with balls on it representing the curvature of spacetime explaining how gravity works - I've always disliked that example because you still need plain old gravity to pull the balls into the membrane.

Compile times in Rust are really the only problem with this. Rust with LTO on is really good about removing unused code, so it doesn't hurt you during runtime

Whenever you run anything there's millions of lines involved across the OS API's directly or indirectly, so in practice it doesn't matter what's happening behind the scenes. In languages with fast compile times like Go and Java people add dependencies without even caring. And I think that's how it should be.

All our Java backends at work are like 200MB and it doesn't matter and nobody cares. It still compiles in less than ten seconds, and all that code barely affects startup time.
They cite Twitter as using this pattern. That's hilarious, considering Twitter is currently one of the shittiest site around : half the time I click on a Twitter link (I don't have an account) it leads to "you are not allowed to see this". After one or more reloads (actuary number seems to be rolled off a dice) I get to see the content, ie. 280 characters and maybe an image. I imagine they never tried to use their own website.
Enabling contextIsolation was a lot of work, and required a re-working our native modules (around voice and video) while still maintaining performance.

Brave Speed Reader: Fast and Private Reader Mode for the Web
It's the case for pretty much all of the content that's online these days. Online reviews aren't really trustworthy, online news and social media isn't really either, nor are search rankings.

I'm not sure if there's a real solution though, pretty much every mechanism for solving this has far too many incentives to break it, so that you'd get traffic/clicks/purchases. Just too much money causes the metrics to be gamed.
The original has paid for the r&d, advertising and taken all the risk involved with launching a new product.

Copy doesn't have to factor any of that in and can shop around for the cheapest labour to get the copy done. As stated in the article even the supplier has started a copy.

Consumers still lose out if a product never gets created in the first place because its too much hassle to deal with copying.

Mmm sure but I think your comment is a little "seeing the forest for the trees" regardless of whether Walter is lashing out the fact that this was one of the few avenues he had to get help is telling about Google. They don't care about their users whether that is site owners, ad buyers or searchers.

Walter should have never had to have had the interaction in the first place where Matt has to make the decision to help him because there should have been support avenues and no secret penalties in the first place. That's like blaming the abused.
I did come to the same conclusion, with the complaint itself as my sole source of information.

It is unfortunate that this type of arguments gain a lot of popularity, even among technical readers.

Of course, it is also possible that the complaint is completely justified, and it's just a coincidence that it's written in this conspiracy / paranoia style. Among thousands of consipiracy theories, there's probably some that are actually true. Sorting through them is not something I am interested in doing, though.

I seem to remember reading something in college back in the 90s in an AI textbook saying that the pendulum of favor has swung back and forth between neural modeling and symbolic approaches, and what would probably achieve success in the future is a hybrid of the two. Is this a new idea?
Yeah, if you hang around HN long enough you'll get the privilege of seeing the man himself lament about the supposed penalty. It's gotten really long in the tooth and it's the same spiel every time.

At no point does he consider that there is no penalty, his site is just not as useful as competitors and that is why it does not rank highly.
1st sentence is correct and is the same as what I said, sorry if I wasn't clear.

Remember that spacetime = space + time dimensions. The object is always travelling through time, and the curvature of spacetime is converting some of that speed through time into speed through space. That's what you perceive as motion (caused by gravity).

Time and space are linked together. The faster you go through space, the "slower" you go through time (as in you experience it slower). This is very measurable and even used to alter timings for satellites GPS readings. You can take an atomic clock on a plane and age slower than someone who just stayed on the ground.

So the spacetime curvature is continuously converting some of your temporal motion into spatial motion, until that's stopped by the surface of the Earth which is constantly "accelerating" to stop you from going further.

As to why we always move through time, that's beyond my understanding at this point but it's a fundamental axiom of physics.
