Collision combined with length extension could be a neat way of attacking deduping.

Basically first a prefix, then a collision block, then a suffix that is encrypted with a key derived from one of the collision blocks.

If you can arrange for the deduper to find the document with the wrong key first, then it will skip over the super secret stuff.

I don’t think Google set up a predictable product iteration unveiling structure. One day I expect to see the PlayStation 6 for example, and one day I expect to see an update to the MacBook, and so on.

One day, do I expect to see an unveiling of a new Gmail UI? None of it is predictable because it feels like they do some serious a/b tests and just silently roll stuff out. They lack a structured presentation timeline. Currently users have no predictable expectations.

When that’s the case, just rename stuff, rebrand stuff, get rid of stuff, who the fuck cares. We didn’t promise the user updates, or even iterations, we simply promised them a one time product.

That’s the only thing that I can think of behind all of this. The simpler answer could just be their product team is not the best of the best for a company that works pretty hard at getting the best.

I think you're really, really on to something, but just simply that calling it "surviving poverty" will give most people the wrong impression.

You've got to convince people that by spending every windfall (and by windfall I literally mean like 20 to 50 extra dollars) to "make up" for the resentment they felt when they couldn't pay their rent on time and got Eviction Notice #1... they've got to SAVE IT or the entire rest of their life will just be a boom and bust cycle of windfalls. Once you are proactively "defending" not eating into your hard earned savings account, your mentality changes 180 degrees - in a single day vs when you are living in the red 365 day/yr.

I know a guy from college, poorest guy I know, constantly begging off family & getting late fees on his rent. He works a crap job though at least 250% minimum wage because he couldn't finish school on the 6 years of full-ride scholarship he got for having the right skin color (school diversity scholarship) and then still wanted a degree so took out a $80,000 loan for a fraud school. He failed out.

I lived 2 years on his same income, it is low, but he doesn't live in a HCOL area - so I can assure you it is plenty if carefully managed. He doesn't buy anything impressive, he appears to live a basic life, BUT: He just has no idea how to manage his emotions and therefore to manage his occasional spending. There are probably 10 guys like him for every person who actually is so broke there is no way out. I know how he uses his windfalls - he openly admits it to me without even thinking for a second that it makes no sense - and he's in his 40s now. I can't lecture on it because the emotional wall that comes up won't let him hear - it is "capitalism" that is to blame apparently and some politicians. This is what America's "poor" looks like, it is far more a mental state than concrete reality.

If you ever teach a group of kids you quickly learn that interests, personality types, needs come in a wide spectrum. Whats in the "core curriculum" and its effects are not predictable.

For example, I had French classes for 4 years and can't speak, read or write it to save my life. The teacher wasn't bad and kept telling me, who knows maybe one day I'd move to France. As a kid, I thought the whole thing was ridiculous. I was quite happy where I was.

Better option is to give ppl, at any point in their life, a route to learning when they discover a knowledge gap.

As did happen when I was sent off for work in France.

Heh.. many people commented on that. Perhaps you had a "single layer" that made it hard since the droplets/water from your exhale got stuck in the fabric, and together with the atmosphere's humidity created this effect.

In such cold climates I wear an ultra long scarf (2m-2.5m), I wrap my neck/jaw/ears 3-4-5 times (depending how tight) and I tuck it in my jacket. The outside of the scarf freezes, the inside remains warm. I also try to breathe by my nose, less humid.

> "Turns out this day won't exist for you" is never something I'd have considered a possibility.

When countries switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar this happened everywhere. Entire counties skipping weeks in their calendars. Historical documents referring to the same event but using different dates, because they were using different calendars. Fun times. And of course not every country switched at the same time.

The Wikipedia page about this is pretty interesting [0] Some quotes from that page:

> In Russia, the Gregorian calendar was accepted after the October Revolution. On 24 January 1918 the Council of People's Commissars issued a decree that Wednesday, 31 January 1918, was to be followed by Thursday, 14 February 1918, thus dropping 13 days from the calendar.

> Catholic countries such as the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth adopted the "new style" (N.S.) Gregorian calendar in 1582 (switched back in 1795 after Third Partition of Poland)

And if you think that is bad, the Roman calendar that was replaced by the Julian calendar had a year consisting of 304 days and when things got too much misaligned with the seasons some extra days would be added [1]

> The system is usually said to have left the remaining 50 odd days of the year as an unorganized "winter", although Licinius Macer's lost history apparently stated the earliest Roman calendar employed intercalation instead[7][8] and Macrobius claims the 10 month calendar was allowed to shift until the summer and winter months were completely misplaced, at which time additional days belonging to no month were simply inserted into the calendar until it seemed things were restored to their proper place.

Good thing computers weren't around back then.

> I have received >20 political advertisements via SMS in the last week. Do you think you should have the right to read my texts? Should advertisers be required to disclose to you that they texted me?

The research participants are voluntarily sharing their ads with NYU. Facebook is objecting.

I have bought voter rolls for direct mail campaigns. On the mailer, I had to disclose who was paying for it. I knew a fraction of my mailers would end up in the opposition’s hands, just as their messaging ended up in mine, and that from who got which mailers we could deduce which voter roll query was used. If I lied they would call me out to the people I lied to. That is an incentive to stay honest and a promoter of a common fact base.

Direct mail, SMS and phone outreach has gotten more targeted. But it’s nowhere close to Facebook. That deserves elevated transparency to a regulatory force. Given these are political ads government regulation is out of the question. So the next best options are total public disclosure, adversarial disclosure (i.e. someone identifying the opposition, which is complicated, and giving them full transparency) or mandatory or voluntary disclosure to academia. The last is the weakest since it introduces sampling biases and requires private collection resources. But it’s better than nothing. Facebook still fights it.

American politics are no longer a debate. We can’t agree on common facts and can’t agree on a common set of institutions. Broad political interaction has devolved into a competition of facts over one of governing philosophies. That is not a way to govern and is a direct result of social media promoting separate, targeted “facts” that spread faster and more insidiously than they can be countered. If we want to continue making decisions as a democracy, this has to be checked.

This has precedent. Every new form of media (print, radio, broadcast television, phone, cable television, e-mail, et cetera) has been followed by new rules for political discourse. To inform that rule making we need research. If the media controls the data the research will be useless, the rules garbage and our discourse corrupted.

So recently I asked if Unix v6 is the "To Kill a Mockingbird" of computer science, then what is the Huckleberry Finn. Ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24856047

This thing with YouTube-dl makes me consider that one quality that a "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" of computer science should possess is having been banned. Of course YouTube-dl might not be the Huckleberry Finn, but maybe it is something like The Satanic Verses (which I was never a fan of).
It's a political topic - learning about economics is slighlty more relative than learning about physics. I'm from a country that used to be socialist and when people hear that "Self management and the basics of marxism" used to be a mandatory school subject, they're usually disgusted and call it brainwashing.
I absolutely agree that it's very useful to learn about the inner workings of the system you live in, as it gives you perspective. Even if you disagree with it, it's better to know how it works.

That's why you use multiple. It doesn't matter how unreliable, if it only works on in a million times, you send two million. Still the same concept.
Every recommendation to add "x" to a school curriculum should state explicitly what alternative activity should be cut to free up time. This could be another subject, sleep or childrens' free time.

Obolify – Amazon but with independent, local shops
The idea behind Obolify is to support local shops to get started with e-commerce and profit from the booming online market, without much effort and as easy as possible. Especially during COVID-19, businesses in my region struggled a lot, and I thought there should be a possibility for them to sell their goods online. So I built a platform where sellers can easily upload their shops and products and get started. Existing online shops can also expand their business on Obolify. On the other side, buyers can explore the products they love in a very convenient way and also support these local businesses.
I agree but also want to point out how sad this is. In the past 50 years or so the world changed. You can no longer win by just working for a salary and putting your extra money in a savings account and collecting a pension if you were lucky. There’s an entire complex capitalist casino out there where all the real money is made. We can all only hope to have extra money so we can buy our chips and play too. So every doctor, every engineer, every professor, every one of us now needs a second education in the complexities of modern finance if we don’t want to be left behind.
This would have to be mandated by the state (at least in the USA). The state already mandates that they must spend x hours teaching math, English, etc. The schools don’t have enough leeway to just add in another required course. Most likely something would have to give. Maybe replace one of the required math classes with a required finance class?

Look what I’ve found of a bit googling: https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/iphone/iPhone...

While it is made by Apple itself it gives a rough idea of how much an iPhone costs.
As the sibling says, I'm not sure you can conclude that battery management is faulty in the ipad (and in tablets / phones in general) while laptops are (generally) well protected.

My own testing shows something different:

* 4 yo MBP: got a battery bulge

* 4 yo iPhone: No bulge

* 5 yo Samsung tablet: No bulge

* 3 yo Samsung GS5 phone: bulge

All devices are plugged in practically all day long.

I think that the actual factor is heat management. The MBP is my main computer. The bulge developed around the release of mac os high sierra when for some reason the external GPU was running full tilt and the computer would get pretty hot pretty often. Changed the battery after the heating situation subsided, no bulge since. That was 2.5 years ago.

Ditto for the GS5 which I would often use for wifi connection sharing and would also heat up quite often.

The tablet and phone both sit around doing nothing all they long so they basically never heat up.

Dave Ramsey (not connected in any way - just like his message), can be a bit 'over the top' sometimes, but in his daily radio show you can listen some (financial mismanagement) horror stories. He has a "7 baby steps process" that I believe everyone should know (and adapt to his/her will/preferences/life setup). Yes is a fanatic christian, yes, he can be a bit tiring when he takes a religious tangent, but still, I find his message very useful. I would really liked to have discovered him 20-30 years ago (or whoever was the Dave Ramsey at that time).

I really appreciated/found really helpful the tip of the "seven bank accounts" (Jordan Page, FunCheapOrFree)(also not connected in any way): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auzLhKvsxnQ

(Ramsey a similar type of management the "envelope system").

Edit: from what he sometimes says on his radio show, some schools in the USA 'teach' his program/system/7-step-process. I find this amazing and I wish that this (or something similar) is properly taught to every school on the planet.
How is an internal podcast the most effective communication tool? What advantages are there to a doc or a recorded meeting?
Errr, yes?

A video streaming service is literally a host for video content + UI's for accessing it.

Whether YouTube internally stores those video's as single files, as multiple versions of a file, as chunked pieces, or whatever... who cares? They'll obviously optimise their backend storage for their particular needs.

Whether you start viewing in the middle of a video, or from the start... are you're trying to say it makes a difference?

Because VLC can seek around a video too.

With YouTube-dl, I download the video, and watch it. At some point, it gets deleted.

With Firefox, I download the video and watch it. At some point, it gets deleted.

Are you saying it makes a difference whether or not it gets assembled into "a file" on the receiving side in order to watch it in an appropriate player?
They don't go near the stock market in the way a sizeable % of most countries populations doesn't go near politics and doesn't vote, that doesn't mean it's an approach that puts society first - in general it's a selfish approach. Not knowing how markets work and how they affect your life, your retirement, taxes, is knowingly eschewing knowledge about a pretty important part of life.

I don't know if it should be taught in school or if people should just be responsible adults and learn about it, but more people understanding the stock market would be the best way to have proper regulations and stopping it all being labeled as a boogeyman that the rich old white man uses to fuck everyone else over.
Correct, OOP in itself it’s not bad. I use it every day, but I mostly use composition rather than inheritance.

What I was trying to say was that the inheritance based OOP was sold as the ultimate problem solver.

We all remember programming classes with Hello World like examples of Cat inherits from Animal.

Problem is of course that in the real world is never that simple so the inheritance based model turned out many times to be a mess because it was applied to problems where it didn’t fit.

That doesn’t mean that inheritance based OOP has its place, it does, but that is usually in very specific domains.
