So you don’t have any emotional opinions on the work of others that has real effect on your life?

Physicists can be wrong.

Economists can be wrong.

At some point technical nonsense becomes “imperfect people choosing.”

A fix might simply be change tax laws? Kind of like how the billionaires changed them to be less distributed.

But you don’t have feelings enough about economics being purposely wielded at scale to manipulate; let’s hope you’re still one of the privileged enough to be indifferent and comfortable in the future.

> I currently fund the internet to the tune of $10/month using Brave. Someday that will be $100/month.

Honest question - how much does that money actually reach the creators? Brave is sitting in the middle and I assume a. is charging a fee and b. has to be trusted to properly account for the money it has to pay creators.

It's a weird sort of marketplace where supply (content) isn't constrained at all, since it's trivial to duplicate. This means there's limited incentive for Brave to be nice to creators.

Are there any (3rd party, not Brave) stats on how much money creators are getting?

My hobby [1] is helping people think clearly about media bias and filter bubbles, so I'm glad to hear that my comments come across as rational and balanced!

Thanks for the feedback! You're right that we need to be aware of what remote-hiring "competitors" do too, and we certainly try to follow for example the discussions that pop up here on HN once in a while (e.g. GitLab, Stripe, VMWare recently).

To comment on your question specifically, a drawback would be that if we paid only Swedish market rates we would struggle to hire good candidates in places like Switzerland or the U.K. At some point we may need to formalize compensation structure, but for now we care more about finding the right people to work with regardless of where they are located and if the match is right we'll try to find a solution that makes everybody happy.
How to Build a Delivery App [Ultimate Guide in 2020]
I'll be cheeky and post this top level. Sorry if it's out of place. On the discussions of opening large files, I grant emacs does tend to choke on long lines but when each line is moderate it can open pretty large files.

What I can't see here is any mention of VLF mode (get via elpa/melpa) in emacs which allows you to open very large files (per acronym) which are mem mapped.

I just opened a 3.3GB .mpg and it opened immediately. Seems to be editable but it gets verrrry slow (has to page huge amounts and create temp files if you edit) and I've not verified that, but in the rare case I need to browse a multi-GB file, it has worked for me.

Anyone used vlf mode in emacs more extensively, please chime in.

GObject keeps working flawlessly, but it is too arcane to newcomers (which are already few because of C itself becoming an arcane art these days)

My favorite thing about Java (well, I guess more of the JVM ecosystem) is that there is a battle tested, production ready canonical package for just about anything that you could imagine. And that there is a battle tested, canonical way to get that package onto your system and into your build .
Agreed. Inverse is not a synonym for reciprocal, but it's too late, the name has stuck.

Sometimes you can even get away by dropping the square completely:

if (x2-x1) - (y2-y1) < (x4-x3) - (y4-y3) then ...

I once used this in a path tracer to speed things up a little. The results where less accurate but sometimes this can be used as trade-off.
No, it's how you get to start, probably while still in education, but you learn about framing, focus, white balance, learn about direction (forget the ball -- you want to follow the ref at this point), on a larger event you'll be part of working as a team which is an essential soft skill many graduates don't have, on a smaller even you'll be learning how to interact in a professional environment on your own, you'll be meeting people who can help you, you can

A colleague of mine was on a camera at the weekend, he's not a cameraman, he's an engineer, he had to be there anyway to set up the camera, plug in the various cables, and get the pictures out. He was filming 3 people stood at lecterns and panning the camera between them as appropriate, which meant making his own decisions based on the flow of the conversation, speed of the pan (I don't think there were any zooms needed), etc.

It's hardly thrilling work, and you could probably automate it. I've seen that type of automation system used for radio visualisation -- hell I've set it up on occasion, but AI isn't as good as an engineer with a little situational awareness pointing a camera, let alone a creative picture correspondent.
> I keep seeing people write that they "don't like ads", which seems silly because nobody likes ads, of course.

I actually do like some ads. I have money, and I like to buy cool and interesting things. Occasionally, ads tell me about a new thing or service I'd never heard of. Those are ads that I'm really glad I saw. When they're respectfully informing me of things I might actually be interested in, then I don't mind them.

When I don't like ads is when they slow the page load down by 100x. When I don't like ads is when they have malicious exploits of my browser to install malware on my computer. When I don't like ads is when they auto-play video or put intrusive obnoxious things all over the screen. (Seriously, does anyone respond to those kinds of ads?) When I don't like ads is when they chase me around the internet trying to get me to buy the thing that I just bought.

Using Brave, I see the static ads, and I get to choose to see ads through the Brave network or not. At the moment, I don't mind the Brave network ads -- they're mostly for crypto, which I don't care about; but they're not obnoxious and I know I can turn them off. And occasionally they're for things I might actually be interested in, like chess or electronics.

Right now only 2 of the sites I visit regularly are signed up to be Brave content creators; when this reaches a critical mass, I'll probably start putting in $10-20 per month specifically to support them. At that point, maybe I'll disable the Brave netork ads... or maybe I won't.

To add to what the other commenter said - Bank station (the busiest on the London tube network) is getting rebuilt too, to add a "mezzanine" type area for the Northern line. Through-trains, all to the same destinations, are every 2 minutes and the platform is frequently closed due to overcrowding. To the point, in fact, where there's often a one-way system enforced in the station, or people are kept at street level.

Ultimately it's usage levels and capacity. UK stations don't have the capacity for the passengers, and often the capacity on the trains either.
Finally, a Seastar clone for Rust! Really impressed by some of the work coming out from Datadog. Curious if one of the popular Rust web frameworks will choose it as I/O backend, could be a great way to push down latencies even further.
With a name like Scipio I would imagine it also uses a thread-per-core of neighboring computers as well.
That subreddit might be your best feedback channel now that many people consider reddit as their default for product information and troubleshooting.
Still makes no sense. We do not pay mail-providers for the address alone, but mainly for running the servers which deliver and store the mails. Which is the same for which USPS/Fedex/UPS/etc. are paid for.

You want a mail-address? Grab your own domain (thus pay "tax"), put a server there (build a "house") and you are there. Getting an address, be it physical or digital never comes for free, and there is not human right for having one.
Yes - you can use nested dataclasses. But you will loose some of the nice features
In my experience simple tools leads to simple designs. With the aid of an IDE the architecture/design of an app can become insanely complicated.
My Project Got 800 Stars in Two Days on GitHub
Unfortunately, you still need to manually download the data each time. There's no way to automate this. There's also no way I know of to directly upload a takeout zip to another service and continue. There's also a (generally long enough, except when you forget) time limit on downloads, as well as a download limit (have a crappy internet connection, and lost access to a file? Start a new takeout, wait for it to be available, and try again)

If takeouts could be configured to download automatically through Google drive, that would be amazing.
Vim is amazing. Try searching for patterns in this enormous file ;) Definitely a hard nut to crack.

Personally i see no reason why this is needed (just use vim), but I'm sure a lot of people will use it just because its written in rust^^
Would be terrific for casual computing, testing and development.

I can't imagine Apple would do this though as they'd probably cut into their own flesh with a product like that. Many people use iMacs as office computers, for them there would be little reason to buy a machine for thousands of Dollars just to write text documents, read e-mails and browse the Internet if you can get a MacOS device for a few hundred Dollars. Apple already has the Mac Mini which starts at 800 USD, so I don't think there's much pricing room below that for Apple. But then again, who knows, as they're building their own chips now it would be feasible to design a slightly underpowered Mac Mini and sell it for 300-400 USD. If it works well enough it could be a great success, I think.
I have thought about it, but I always worry about making large edits to Wikipedia pages that I'll put a lot of work into it and then someone will come along and just revert it. Maybe that fear is unfounded - I'll put it on my (very long) todo list!
It's an insert-mode binding, built in by default.
That's not right. The so-called fast inverse square root function computes the reciprocal of the square root, not the square.

You're not the only one to be confused by the name. An awful choice of name, in my opinion.

Nothing to do with actual private mode / Tor.

It's that you're "safe" because big bad mega corp isn't seeing your DNS traffic or in this case they aren't sending you ads.

But you've traded big bad mega corp for up and coming bad mega corp2, so you're not really any safer.

Not sure I agree with that in this case.
Even if you pretend it’s a few values (which it’s not, there are a lot of floats), this would be dramatically slower due to the cache miss involved.
We already tax people and most of the noise about companies not paying tax basically ignores that because it makes a good headline. I'm of the opinion that taxes on corporations are a bit of a nonsense tax. If they sell goods or services, there's sales tax. If their employees and shareholders receive salaries and profits, they get income and dividend tax. When we see a headline of a company paying almost no taxes, they've usually paid more in sales taxes and their staff and shareholders will be paying more in taxes than corporation taxes can ever dream of bringing in. Taxes on profits is difficult, profits can be moved easily. Tax profits too much and companies simply won't make any profits. Sales tax is good since it goes to the actual market the product is sold into, it's the cost of having access to that market. Income/dividend taxes brings in the money where the employees and shareholders live and spend their money, so it's the cost of benefiting from the society they live in. We can quibble about loopholes and levels around those taxes because they make sense, but corporation taxes is never going to bring in enough money to warrant all the noise.
Coverage is incomplete as they’re not nearly done deploying satellites. Satellite TV comes from single satellites orbiting in geosynchronous orbit, way out there where the orbital period is exactly one day.

Starlink satellites are a swarm which operates in a low earth orbit with a period of around 90 minutes, you’re constantly changing satellites much like a cell phone switches towers as you drive.
This wasn't implemented as I think it would be very hard to do/impossible in Python.

Ha, funnily enough I did think of that, but I was trying to keep the explanation short and simple (and a bit hand-wavy).

Oops, fixed, thanks!
So many shills in Brave threads every single time. There have been numerous instances of clear evidence than Brave and its founder are running a scam and Im surprised tech literate people on hacker news (which is an assumption I guess) fall for it. They literally run their own ad network and collect data for analytics on user behaviour. How is the best thing to happen to the web? If you want to give to creators, there are so many other ways to do so. You dont have to do it via a middle man that runs an ad network using a made up crypto coin
It's definitely worked well in that regard, better than other things I've tried in the past and I think it helps communicate that I'm just a single person building an app in my spare time rather than a big company.
> Hindi fits the bill among st all other Indian languages is because it has the largest footprint

Not true. Even if it were think about the following analogy given by a national leader. I dont remember his name. There are more crows in India than Peacock. Yet Peacock is the national bird not the crow.

If there must be a national language then it should be English. Simply because it is the one that has prospered the coutry. Hindi does not help the states where hindi is the primary language. Bihar people migrate to south india for jobs and learn tamil and telegu, while the south indians leave india to abroad.

Preach Hindi to the people who are still low class but you learn english conveniently, thats evil IMO.
I guess I'm sort of surprised that a unique key per device isn't common yet...
If we transform the taxation so that the income/profit of people and corporations is no more taxed, but the tax revenue is still somehow fairly collected, I am all in. It is just that typically when people propose stopping taxing corporate profits, they offer nothing to replace the tax.

One of my pet ideas is to stop taxing income/profits of limited liability companies completely. Instead make the the companies issue a certain percentage of their stock to the tax authorities annually. For public companies, Tax authorities just sell the shares in exchange. For private ones, the shares would be auctioned publicly.

Outcomes:
- No negative tax cashflows to companies. Ever.
- No need for creative tax accounting. Only ones left to fool with accounting are the owners of the companies.
- Strong incentive to simplify corporate structures. Any company owned by a company would add to tax burden of the ultimate owners.

(For private companies, it might be nice to allow them to ask to postpone the auctions for e.g. 5 years if they want to keep the control of the company but are short of cash to buy the stock from the auction)
Imagine UK company providing hardware for their CCTV network had this code under the hood:

I don't disagree but national geographic, time, and now the same formats transposed into the online world all have their place. They can act as fantastic springboards into underlying news, scientific research, and other further reading in a way that's similar to but far more engaging than a dry wikipedia article.

So, if I understand correctly you could do the following:

1. Someone somewhere creates a numbered list of primes (so 1=1,2=2,3=3,4=5,5=7,6=11,7=13,8=17, etc etc)
2. You refer to "the [N]th prime" with a vastly smaller number, and people could fetch it from the list of primes.
3. They could theoretically ban the number N?

I don't think the poster was saying any of this. They were simply stating that the post was informational and that they weren't offering any commentary on the situation, just giving facts.

I mean, sure a physicist can be wrong, but if they are giving facts as are currently accepted by the community or even as they know them, it isn't an emotional statement of whether they agree. It is just that: Facts as we know them, to the best of our ability and not giving the commentary with it.
> Yeah but that's not a realistic usecase for most users/developers.

It also looks like vim and emacs don't decide what a realistic use case is, or if you're "most" users/developers. They just open text files for editing.
