Specifically responding to the increasing average age of Nobel prize winners: this is in part due to the increasing complexity of problems to solve. With our current ways of solving problems, the new problems become harder and harder. The existing human knowledge is also becoming harder and harder to understand, requiring somebody working in a field to spend much longer studying and catching up to the state of the art before being able to make a significant contribution to the field.

This is one of the reasons that I'm personally so excited about (and working on) the potential of spatially immersive media like VR to understand complex concepts. Taking a step back, tools like a graph plot enabled humans to understand complex concepts like differentials and projectile motion at a much younger age. Could a breakthrough with new ways of understanding human knowledge effectively do the same with knowledge that is today considered complex (eg, quantum mechanics)? If such a breakthrough happens, could we bring the average age of significant contribution in subjects like physics back down?

I don't know, but I hope so. :)

Edit. I also remember reading thoughts by either Michael Nielsen on the increasing age of Nobel-worthy contributions in physics, but I can't find it in my current sleep deprived state. I shall tomorrow if somebody else hasn't pointed to that article by then.
Things sure were cheap back then. ITER alone is expected to cost at least 22 billion Euros.

The melt value of the gold was well under $3000, for a $17000 watch. Even it it had been solid 24k 99.9 fine (I believe it was 14k gold), it would have been a small fraction of the cost, and a low volume item to boot. I doubt the custom alloy contributed significantly to their margin.

IIRC most gold watches are 12-14k for durability.
I think this assumes that all OS designs have equivalent levels of security, but if this is true then why are there security-focused operating systems like seL4?

Not to disregard dark theme users, but dark sites always look the same to me. Light color schemes still feel distinct in subtleties like fonts, border colors and other things that scream “you’re looking at github” or “you’re looking at msdn” or “it’s your iphone”. It doesn’t happen with dark mode, it’s just all the same dark bg with some text. Idk what can be done to fix it.
> This is not an article about how to teach or learn programming, this is about creating an environment inside of which learning is made easier.

Looks kinda the opposite to me. It's criticizing a particular learning environment because it doesn't actually help with learning programming.

Right in the middle of the opening section:

> Thus, the goals of a programming system should be:

> * to support and encourage powerful ways of thinking

> * to enable programmers to see and understand the execution of their programs

> A live-coding Processing environment addresses neither of these goals.
You can track latency and whatnot through KPIS, there’s no need to shoot yourself in the foot over it.

Ask HN: Are you are marketing expert? Do you know what fractal-marketing is?
After some research, I have improved (theoretically) the "pyramids pitfall" of the multilevel-marketing business model, adding a blockchain layer with Smart Contracts to it.

I wanted to name this kind of business model as fractal-marketing because thanks to Smartcontracts, an important fraction of the ownership of the product could be projected from the top (of the tree) to the members in the down-line. Avoid sending a huge percentage of the profit from all the structure to a short number of participants on the top, might permit the distribution of more resources to the down line thanks to the limitation programmed in the Smart-contract. I think this tweak is enough to close the argument "multilevel-marketing is a pyramid because the top of the structure will have always vantage in front new arrival".

Displace resources to the down-line could change the perception of ownership of the product, especially if we use also the Smart contracts to fund, in a transparent way, the several departments involved in the development of the product.

I have thought of this kind of marketing for a specific product. A product that can be personalized by each seller in the structure of the organization. So is intended that beneath the layer of personalization given from each member, all members can take advantage of the improvements given from the developers to the product.

This form of business and cash-flow reminded me of a fractal and that why I was about to "coin" the definition of fractal-marketing. But after a short research, I've found this https://warrendouglas.com/blog/premium-pov/fractal-marketing, but this is the only reference about what fractal-marketing is that I found. And that is very different from my business model because the creator of the campaign don't share any profit with people who help to perpetuate the propagation of the product (worse than marketing-multilevel from my outlook).

Have you heard about the concept of fractal marketing before?
It depends on which tools you're thinking about. When it comes to web browsers, they can process XML+XSLT (to produce and render HTML output) out of the box. On the other hand, it looks like the hack you're using here to make the JS renderer auto-load is not really valid HTML (as a whole)?

I agree with that. The market is full of chat software, some better, some worse. Microsoft for example had Skype (for Business). All they did is the consequent next step and integrate chat with the rest of their productivity suite (as everyone else in the market does). They basically follow Google Workspaces which innovated many things in the last 10 years. It is an oligarchy but it is not that Microsoft is owning the market.

I think it is sad that Slack is loosing independence in the the market. However, I blame investors far more than the market. When I understand it right, they yearly profit is in the 100s of millions. It is a financial decision of them.

Also, when talking about speakers, what upgrades? You don't need yearly upgrades with speakers, unlike with Apple headphones. In the past ten years, I've spent about 400 dollars for a pair of Yamaha studio monitors fit for professional audio use, certainly for light audio entertainment as well. They'll still take any Apple headphones through the ringer in terms of quality.

That's where "selfish" comes in. If they had a strong sense of social responsibility, the confidence men would have nothing to sink their claws into. But you don't need much reason or even a convincing liar to talk you into selfish or stupid behavior if you already wanted to behave stupidly or selfishly, so the confidence men are having a rather easy go of it. If these people were actually interested in doing the right thing or the best thing, they might take some steps to figure out what that is instead of swallowing whatever lines the few in power have made up about mask wearing (Personal Freedom I believe is chief among them). Then maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. But they are too interested instead in winning whatever the fucking game we're playing is now.
I think the reasoning was that you shouldn't need systemd in docker because the point is for docker itself to containerize each service unit, and use something like docker-compose to manage multiple units. Personally I think that's an aggressive but valid stance because by allowing systemd in docker they'd get a ton of low quality docker images floating around where they launch multiple services within containers, which is against the "do one thing per container" philosophy.

Now that docker has proliferated and the standard practices are clear and well documented, there's less of a danger allowing people to do messy things in their docker containers.
Yeah and AirPods Pro are far from perfect. I can pair them with my TV but they don't support volume control over Bluetooth so I can't change their volume, they don't have an interface for it on the device.

Meanwhile my Sony WH1000-XM3s work perfectly with my TV, including volume control, and work perfectly with everything else including my Apple devices.

I don't have "connectivity issues" and battery life is 10hrs more than AirPods Max. They even included a stereo cable in the box to connect to the standard 3.5mm jack built-in to the headset, and they also came with a proper case to protect them when they're in my rucksack. All for £330 less than AirPods Max.

It's amazing that people think AirPods Max will be the first ever good set of on-ear wireless headphones.

Then try a nice interface for LaTeX like overleaf and also come back to me.

At the end of the day if you want to write a simple document, go to a word processor (I prefer Libreoffice, but Word is ok too if it's installed); if you want to write something more elaborate that you want to be in control of programmatically and have a template, go with LaTeX. The reverse can be done too, but typically it's unnecessary hours wasted for the wrong reasons.

Which is precisely what's wrong with neo-liberalism these days. A massive lack of rationality.

Cancelling college debt is about as screwed up an idea as one can come up with. It rewards exactly the wrong behavior, and is subsidized by those most deserving of a reward. Those who rack up unsustainable debt, picking expensive schools to earn degrees the market doesn't value, then go on to not repay those debts stand to gain the most from this. Meanwhile, those who take personal responsibility and sacrifice to make their college education sustainable — who went to cheaper colleges, who worked their way through it, who sacrificed their lifestyle post-graduation to get their debts paid off — are subsidizing the cost of that giveaway. It's a massive transfer of wealth from the responsible to the irresponsible.

Guidelines on ranking transparency pursuant to Regulation
> The software competitive scene is fairly good at the moment, and the open web remains an escape hatch

Can't agree really. On the operating system front, it's Linux-only at this point. And the "Linux community" has completed its long way to the dark side, with RedHat paying devs to subvert the portability Unix/POSIX has always stood for, with systemd and the rush to containers. For a perspective, consider Docker was originally a way to equalize distro-specific libs and quirks; RedHat and Kubernetes essentially deprecating Docker (and adding unbelievable amounts of code to replace it as infrastructure) just means a central entity calls the shots now. When the problem of non-uniform libs is entirely created by RedHat and too many distros themselves. In reality, starved core F/OSS packages haven't changed in a decade or more. But enterprise cloud deals are just too sweet, so change for change's sake it is. In that context, it makes sense that RedHat has shutdown CentOS now.

On the web, it's even worse. There are no "browser vendors" except Google and Apple left, and Google is gatekeeping so-called web standards. Recently, HTTP and DNS is up for grabs as well. Hail monopolies.

> 1. By default, the immediate fork of a MPLv2 project under xGPLv3 is auto dual-licensed (for existing files, at least). Usually, the project stays dual-licensed (even for the larger work) unless the contributors make an explicit decision to remove the top-level MPLv2 license file.

No, you can't change the license of existing code that you don't hold copyright of. Even permissive licenses like MIT don't allow that. Where you can add your own license terms is for additional code you wrote that you hold the copyright for. Permissive vs. weak vs. strong copyleft then tell you under which terms you can combine your own code and the other code that you forked.

> 2. Initial Contributor (original developer) can choose to make the "Covered Software" incompatibile with secondary licenses (like xGPLv3) for posterity.

The "secondary license" thing in MPL2 is a (clever) hack to make it compatible with *GPL. That just means that without the secondary license you can't make a combined work (called "larger work" in the MPL2) that contains both MPL2 code and your own GPL code. It doesn't allow you to relicense MPL2 code to GPL.

> Evil corp at least (if nothing) is required to open source their changes to MPLv2 files (part of the original work), if any. Whereas Apache / MIT / BSD don't require any form of reciprocation except an attribution.

Yes, but nothing prevents Evil Corp from just doing minimal modifications to the MPL2 code to add entry points or call out to the proprietary code in other files.

That is sort of the argument against weak copyleft licenses in general; they are easy to circumvent. So if you want copyleft protection, you should go for a strong copyleft license, or then you just accept that Evil Corp may leech and you might as well use a simple permissive license.

> From what I know, MPLv2 is well understood and it isn't ambiguous as WTFPL or confusing as AGPL. Hashicorp and Mozilla are two of the biggest corporate users of the license I know.

Maybe. I mean, if you look e.g. at https://resources.whitesourcesoftware.com/blog-whitesource/o... MPL2 isn't even a rounding error.

> Of course there can be no argument that xGPLv3 protects the interests of the consumers better, though, MPLv2 (and EPLv2), I feel is a good compromise.

Yeah, I think in many ways GPLv3 is pretty good, but considering how soundly it has been rejected by corporations I'm not sure it's worth it..

They probably do. Since, I left the US on vacation, I've noticed a lot of US-only retail sites are blocked outside of the states.

Sometimes the block comes with a scary warning saying that the site has detected a hacking attempt, and stopped your IP at the firewall.

Actually, no. ACA doubled premiums for working-class Americans from $250/month to $500+/month, and many insurers pulled out of states, leaving a monopoly.
