> They are hardly alone. There are so many issues to worry about you can really only afford to pay attention to a few. Water pollution, food pollution, being able to to be housed and fed 20 years ago...the list goes on and on. And computer security is obscure and way down the list.

I would be quite surprised if American citizens were not able to come to a reasonable (at least partial fix) consensus on most of these issues in fairly short order if there was a platform designed specifically for making such decisions. Of course, getting any substantial value out of this knowledge would require a means to pass legislation, but "democracy" is at least as compromised and beyond control of the citizens as our software is.

Nonetheless, I think it would still be valuable to have a grassroots way for the public to actually voice their opinions on matters, at least then we could all have a good laugh in higher resolution at how we allowed control over our destiny to slip out of our hands, without putting up even the slightest fight.

How is the album sharing? All i really want is to be able to build albums and create a link to send to family members, possibly password protected and optionally with expiration. Or just the ability to share/unshare in some way.
This and all the examples linked elsewhere in the thread seem to be electrochemical batteries where the anode or cathode are used as a resistor in another circuit. A current is applied and a metal oxidizes. It’s pretty well known that as a metal oxidizes, it’s resistive properties will change.

As most people know batteries have a limited number of cycles. Every reaction cycle adds some entropy/side reactions, and eventually it will become irreversible. Magnetic storage reorients a crystal or metal, which is more repeatable than a chemical reaction. Our neurons have similar systems to “clean” themselves so they can reset.

I imagine finding a viable memresistor is more about its ability to cycle.
your statement re: [1] is not represented in the source, and is a significant misrepresentation.

Citing the studies that source references, Black and Hispanic Americans are far more >Concerned<, and far more readily >Exposed<, which would reasonably align with their demographic's employment situation.

To suggest they support lockdown measures is both a spurious jump that is suggested nowhere in the article that I could find, and biases interpretation of the source to the point of misdirection.

While a rebuttal may still be supported by other external data, I think your comment as it stands merits criticism.
This blog post concludes with an overlayed population-adjusted graph of the Covid death numbers for Sweden and Massachusetts: https://blogs.umass.edu/covidbalance/2021/01/02/why-is-swede...

You are right that Massachusetts had the highest daily number of deaths in April, before the mask mandate was issued. Sweden peaked a couple weeks earlier than Massachusetts, with a max rate about 1/4 as high. Rates in both places then dropped, and through most of the summer, Sweden continued to have rates much lower than Massachusetts. In the late fall, the rates in Sweden increased (from close to zero) and for the first time caught up to the (increasing) rates in Massachusetts.

I thought you could still disable stuff on macos and then run your own code to your heart's content. You know, boot into recovery and turn stuff off. Is that not true with Big Sur?

On the other hand, there is no procedure like this on ios. I think you can run your own code, but you need an apple id (therefore apple's permission) and you can only run code for 7 days.

One of the most interesting aspects of the assange saga is how journalists and mainstream media treated him throughout the years.

When he exposed Bush, the media and journalists celebrated him as a hero. I believe he was even given some awards. When he exposed Hillary, the media and journalists attacked him. Journalism is political activism at its core.
I used to be using a different centralized exchange every 6 months. In the past it was 1 USD to Bitcoin exchange, and then 1 major altcoin exchange. Both of them would either routinely become less convenient, or completely implode and be inaccessible. Now it's been years since I had to change them.

When exchanges implode now, it is no longer international news, and the criticism is placed on the poorly run business. It was always poorly run businesses. Imagine blaming the Marriott hack on computers and saying computers aren't regulated enough. That's pretty much what people were doing with bitcoin for 10 years straight, it was comical to watch people grasp at things they didn't understand to agree with their pre-existing opinions.

Those things are major improvement for confidence. Some people need that.
Great article, so glad to see the hearts of HN softening on Bitcoin. A few important points the article still missed.

1) Bitcoin Core (BTC) is not Bitcoin (capital B) according the the original White Paper and the subsequent writings of Satoshi Nakamoto. The Bitcoin Core GitHub repo was hijacked years ago, socially engineered by Greg Maxwell the his company Blockstream away from its original maintainer Gavin Andresen.

2) Bitcoin was designed to be Digital Cash, with low fees and instant transactions capable of competing with Visa. After wrestling the GitHub repo away from Andresen Blockstream funded developers and paid trolls started promoting an idea to limit the block size to 1 mb in direct opposition to what Satoshi intended.

3) Bitcoin (BTC) is a failed project by its very own definition, however, the original goals of Bitcoin live on in other projects like Monero, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and many others.

4) Bitcoin (BTC) is at best the worlds greatest digital Ponzi scheme and is a far cry from the fast and cheap Peer-to-Peer Digital Cash Satoshi built. Anyone pushing BTC today is either a scammer or too uninformed to know better.

First of all this is investment advice rather than being anything tech related. Secondly it's not even remotely accurate on all 3 of its points.

1. Hedge funds were active investors in 2017.
2. Retail investors are not the primary drivers of this rally, and holding doesn't drive up prices anyway.
3. The US dollar has not collapsed.

The big shift that's taken place is that custody banks now have a path towards SEC approval. Nothing with a retirement assets could touch crypto because of custody restrictions based on ERISA. This rule announcement changed the entire sector.

One of the reasons I loathe the Idea of WEF for the future that came recently to big spotlight (old WEF propaganda link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/s...) is the assumption that privacy and control are concepts of the past. This is the same case, companies driven by greed joined Facebook platform only fo find out how dependent they are afterwords, I predict different future, future in which lower cost of hardware and traffic will give option for full control of dev ops and stack without Google and Amazon. You can full small businesses to some extent, but in the era of data driven business ownership and full control are priceless. Trusting some big cloud corp with army of lawyers and complex agreement is questionable.

This time is different. Last time Bitcoin Core (BTC) still was semi-functional as Digital Peer-to-Peer Cash as it was intended, the BTC of today has been twisted into an unrecognizable "settlement layer" and digital Ponzi scheme with almost no real world use case.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood. It is ideally run on a gateway, but can also be run on the same machine if using a UNIX-like OS that isn't locked own. I do interface with it a lot because I like to look at logs and dumps and experiment with configurations, but that's not required. Setup consists of a single script that sets up all the servers and imports the data. Any changes while using consist of editing text files. There are some tiny shell scripts and some helper tools I wrote in C to facilitate hands-on DNS management as I am very active in managing DNS data, I like to see IP addresses rather than hide them. I intentionally do many DNS lookups semi-manually. This is purely personal preference, not required. This system could be "set it and forget it" once you have the proxy configs and DNS data you want. The amount of DNS data I actually need to survive is quite small. Those outsourced blocklists the ad blockers use could be larger than personally curated whitelists, depending on the user. The DNS and proxy servers use little system resources.

A programmer with an excellent track record for reliability once said something like "The best interface is no interface." This is how I like things. I do not want to be required to costantly interact. He is the author of the DNS server and daemontools, which I use to control the servers.

There's another party to consider. (hint... it's in the name!) In truly fluid and uncertain situations, capital takes a beating. Humans can adapt or even move; those factories that burned down won't rebuild themselves. After the Revolutionary War, but before the USA Constitution was imposed on the populace, was such a situation. Free farmers opposed capital both violently and via monetary policy (through pro-inflation and relaxed debt-enforcement laws passed by states in the grip of actual representative government). Madison and the rest of the conspirators were far more troubled by the latter excess of freedom; they certainly didn't invite any poor tenant farmers to Philadelphia. There they succeeded in making USA safe for capital. "Federalism" was a lie from the beginning; no state is allowed to inconvenience big business. In the 1860s a rather destructive war was fought over that issue (among others).

Ever since then, whenever and wherever circumstances have favored the positions of workers more than capitalists can accept, the USA Army (or sometimes the Pinkertons!) have stepped in to violently modify negotiating positions. In the post-WWII period they were unable to do that for several decades, and USA enjoyed its greatest prosperity. In the late 1960s they figured out a way to make a war hurt the population more than it hurt capital (and also they killed half a dozen of the people who were warning us about it), and USA has gone downhill ever since. Year after year, they introduce discrete "shocks" that devastate the poor and middle class, while always keeping the resources of the state ready to support the interests of capital. The "mistakes" of capitalism that we observe in every decade are in fact its most vital features. When the spoils of progress accrue to capital, they don't accrue to humans. Even if we imagine they didn't "implement it properly" last time, there's no reason to expect they'll do it "properly" next time either.

Literal impact (the engineering term of art) is usually the controlling force for these types of structural calculations. The force varies with respect to velocity-squared, and due to the dynamic nature of landing, the forces are not likely to be distributed evenly (high pressures at unpredictable locations), so you end up with the controlling condition needing to be much stronger than perhaps even supporting the (static, evenly distributed) weight of a fully loaded vehicle.
This is an excellent reply and if the pro-IP crowd has any response, I'd be interested to read it.

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/494602-pol...

Sixty-nine percent of registered voters in the April 19-20 survey support providing medicare to every American, just down 1 percentage point from a Oct. 19-20, 2018 poll, and within the poll's margin of error. Support among independent voters was steady at 68 percent. However, support among Republican voters declined 6 percentage points over the course of two years, from 52 percent support in 2018 to 46 percent in 2020.

I doubt you'll find many issues as fundamentally important and with as much bi-partisan support support as Medicare For all, and no politician is ever going to actually try to get that passed, despite what they may claim on TV or the campaign trail.

I am afraid we will have to find a way to be content with the legislation that is chosen for us by the Reality TV political system we allowed to form while we weren't paying attention.

> Unless you’re living under a rock, you’d probably know that the central banks have been releasing stimulus packages to help those suffering from the pandemic

Federal governments run stimulus programs, not central banks

> the U.S. dollar is collapsing at an unprecedented rate

The USD isn't collapsing vs any major currencies at the moment. USD has strengthened against major currencies over the last 10 years.

> With only 21 million Bitcoins available and the last one to be mined by 2140, people have realized that it's a deflationary asset at its core

Do Bitcoin enthusiasts consider deflation a good thing? Economists generally consider low, consistent inflation good. The US had several deflationary periods when the gold standard was used and they sucked.

> The price of Bitcoin won’t increase irrationally once its supply ends.

No idea what this means.

> Therefore, investing in Bitcoin might just be the best way to counter the weakening dollar — which has led to the current buying spree.

Dollar has been strengthening. Something else is causing Bitcoin to rise.

I mean, c’mon. There’s already BCH and a thousand altcoins out there, this argument is pretty weak. I too am somewhat pessimistic about our ad-hoc, poor man’s UBI vis-a-vis the stimulus but this too shall pass, the end of the pandemic is in sight even as we enter the worst period, and I feel like this has largely - somehow - been priced into the market.

I find it much more likely that tether being printed from thin air has been driving a lot of the price increase and when that bubble pops we will see where the chips really lie.
I think in 2 ways:

1. Readability:

Ex.

start

play E3, Ab3 for 1b

rest 5b

play E3, Ab3 for 1b

finish

It is somewhat intuitive to read the above without experience with the language (or with programming in general).

2. Procedures:
You can create chunks (procedures), which are reusable.
For example you can create a chunk which takes 3 chord playables as parameters and run that chunk with any arguments.
And also stack those runs on top of each other (because all run chunks play at the same time).
That's going to be pretty distorted (likely uselessly so) in a highrise unless you're connecting to the "femto cells" (I think?)
Without forced connections, how do you prevent people from tagging others in their profile without permission?
It is. That's why much of the WGS action these days is not is sequencing individuals in the clinic, but rather in large-scale population studies like UK Biobank. These are aimed at identifying interesting genotype-phenotype relationships, for which you need massive sample sizes. This approach probably will bear fruit eventually, but the outcome won't necessarily be that everyone gets their whole genome sequenced; rather, the discoveries will be translated into the clinic via either (1) targeted tests that assay specific variants discovered via the population-level studies, or (2) drugs developed on the basis of gene-disease associations.

This chicken-and-egg problem is also the reason why Illumina has invested massive amounts of money in companies like Helix and Grail, which are basically highly speculative attempts to find a problem for which loads of Illumina sequencing is the solution.
