This is a fascinating question that does a great job of bringing realism and idealism head to head. If we're realistic, obviously a lot of people have great potential, but only a very few will both have enough potential and enough drive to realistically hit it big; but can we tell who they are? Idealistically, it's not entirely fair to give a select few all the support; but is it fair to deprive all of humanity of the advances an elite few could make, just to make the elite few's contemporaneous peers feel equally attended to?

Personally, I think when you stack the probabilities of potential * interest * means * drive * luck, progress _is_ led by an elite few. The elite few are sometimes bolstered by a massive support system, but part of being the elite, successful few is being able to garner that support, whether through personality, luck, etc.

For levity, I'll also add that one thing I love about history in general is finding a tidbit like this:

Additionally, I think that tools like Webflow empower devs as well. Why spend hours writing a custom piece of code when it can be done in Webflow in a fraction of the time, and potentially even handed off to a non-dev to manage/maintain.
I mean, it's not that wonderful. Like, I don't understand what was the point of Statuses. Never used it. Much prefer the cleanliness of Signal.

And this is the problem with the Google Union. The ideologies already commanding way too much of the discussion are going to be hyper-empowered by the union.

By 2025 I imagine that if you Google "conservative" you'll instantly have all your Google Services wiped, get banned from the platform, and be reported to the Progressive Thought Technology Alliance Union, so that Twitter and AWS can do the same to you.

Oh wait, the time of last login will be shared with facebook family of companies? Despite this blog post showing no sharing icons at all - they ARE sharing and now lying about it by not showing a single icon to reflect this sharing.

Oh wait, we need your phone number for 2FA? Sure. Bam - now you've given us permission to spam you! They lied about that.

Check out signal and get away from the lies. This blog post is such a good example of it, all the things not showing as not shared are probably SHARED! So despite EVERY icon saying nothing is shared, they no doubt are pumping your phone number over to Facebook family of companies.

They are trying to do the fake apple privacy label thing - but only including non-sharing labels, not the sharing labels.

Totally disgusting. I'm signing up to signal today and pushing hard for my network to switch.

Now if only signal used go or something lighter weight instead of a monster java stack they could probably scale a lot better.

There is an already ecosystem on Telegram bots, channels and groups that lacks Signal, even if all my contacts move to Signal i would still keep Telegram only for those features and many more.
I was specifically talking about founders (but even early stage engineers can do extremely well if the startup takes off). The upside is much higher doing your own thing rather than working at BigCorp (the two aren't even remotely comparable, but neither is the risk). Not to mention the end goals/QOL of working on what you want, commanding your own ship, being financially independent, etc.

Whatsapp already supports in app payments and business accounts. In fact the point of the recent privacy policy change was just to enable more features for business uses.
It's no surprise that the largest predictor of wealth is... wealth. Lots of founders might not be directly funded by family wealth, but the various safety nets and conveniences (even op said they sold 2 of their cars) are a major factor, if not the largest factor, of success.

Please don't feed trolls. The comment you're responding to in particular should have been downvoted (or flagged) and then left alone.

Bring back the $1/yr charge and keep it private. It'd be a good look. It's really a good product, technically. A pleasure to use and the voice and video quality has been excellent basically everywhere I've used it.

All that said, Signal is making steady progress, and I've had zero resistance getting people to use it. Got 12 people on it this past week. Starting a few group threads helped it stick.

Edit: and signal is down...

You definitely need both, these are two completely different kinds of journalling:

- Filesystem journalling is making robust changes to the data structures describing directories, files, and where files live, in units of atomic filesystem operations. For example, the filesystem journal may record "CREATE FILE", which translates to "update directory entry 1234 in directory block 5678, then allocate and initialize extent descriptor 9999, then write an inode at array entry 74234"

- Database journalling is making robust changes to the data structures describing the actual file contents, in units of atomic logical application operations. For example, a DB journal may record "INSERT ROW", which translates to "update block 123 of this index file, and 234 of this data file", application-specific relationships like that cannot be captured by the filesystem on UNIX.

(Note: NTFS is transactional on Windows. It's entirely possible to correlate independent writes and make them atomic, so on Windows at least, in theory a DB could exist without a separate journal. I don't know if this is used in practice). Even if it were in use, it places severe limits on the kinds of concurrency optimizations a database system could otherwise perform, because all of that stuff moves behind the curtain of the OS interfaces.

I can think of a few reasons competition can be beneficial.

1. Exert downward pressure on union fees

2. Offer alternatives in the case of union corruption

3. Offer alternatives in union priorities/mission

Also, I don't follow how competition in the two spaces, firms and unions, is necessarily different in kind. To the degree that competition "weakens" unions, the same should apply to firms.
"Those are probably not the people who compare themselves with Sophie Scholl on protests or something like that. They know the difference."

Are there many of those? Here in Germany we had one case I am aware of, and while I didn't follow it closely, it seems very likely that she has some kind of mental health issue.

"Really? I think this only makes sense when you have a rosy idea about how totalitarianism looks like."

Nobody claims what we are experiencing right now feels the same as life under fascism. Just that it feels like the prelude to it.

I don't think it is far fetched at all. We've seen major changes of our way of life and people's attitude over a short amount of time, and major divide in society, driven by fear.

The hate is real - people fear for their lives and the lives of their parents, and they are ready to blame whoever comes in handy. And the hate is murderous, especially because people fear about their own lives.

I think if you enter a shop without a mask, you can well except violence from some people.

And it can get worse if people refuse to get vaccinated. Already businesses promise not to do businesses with such people anymore. How can you NOT see analogies? You could say not getting vaccinated is voluntary, being Jewish is not. Nevertheless, there are parallels. Nobody claims the exact same thing is happening.

It seems likely to me that fear for their lives was also what drove people to adopt fascism. The rosy view is to look back and think it was just stupidity or "evilness". I think people also feared for their lives. Here in Germany they had just witnessed an extremely murderous war (at a scale we can not imagine anymore), murderous insurrections, stuff like that.

The chicken embryo study is interesting but chlorine dioxide is already known to be less toxic to birds. And your other sources clearly state that chlorine dioxide and chlorites suppress thyrioid function and haematopoesis in primates and humans. Is that supposed to be a good thing?

>Also, CDS is not MMS.

Out of curiosity, do you acidify the ClO2 solution before quaffing it? It's a ritual very well associated with MMS proponents but probably does more harm than good if the goal is to deliver chlorine to the body.
I would give my 25 year old self the following advice:

In general: Try everything you want to try, keep moving and exploring, and do not be complacent and/or stagnant. Your 20s is meant for exploration while your 30s are meant for stabilisation.

There are some specific exceptions however:

1. Do not disregard your health. You won’t be able to explore as much and then stabilise later on if you’re weak and/or always sick.
2. Try to learn how to invest, at the very least in index funds. Compound interest is much more powerful when started early.
How are any of those things bad?

You need to look after your interests first. Your anecdotes do that. It's not your job to make sure everyone has a "fair" life. You job is to make sure you get as much as you can. That's what capitalism is.

What's a good VR setup for Linux?
Ask HN: Please help me understand whether I need encryption for this
Hi all. I am not very good with networking so I need some clarification.

I am testing some virtual servers with a German provider that would help me save a ton of money since my budget is very limited unfortunately.

I am happy with the performance of the servers but these don't have private networking enabled (it's kinda an old school VPS provider rather than a cloud provider, with several limitations but very cheap), so I need to use the public IPs for the communication between the nodes.

I set up a Kubernetes cluster with some of these virtual servers, and have configured Linstor for storage and volumes are replicated across nodes for high availability. I used the Piraeus operator to set this up, but for now I have configured this without encryption because that would affect performance significantly and the network port speed isn't very high (< 1Gbps).

My question is, if the traffic required to consume volumes from pods and replicate them across nodes happens only between nodes in the same data center and not with the outside, can anyone intercept this traffic somehow?

The tech support of this provider says:
"All traffic in our network has to pass through our core-routers, additionally switch ports are configured in such a way that they only accept ethernet frames with mac addresses originating from these routers. Consequently, no layer-2 traffic is forwarded between switch ports and direct communication between servers, even when on the same subnet, is not possible.
In general traffic will, of course, not be intercepted from our end and any other customer as they cannot sniff traffic due to the prior mentioned reason that layer2 communication is generally not forwarded. "

So this sounds like other customers cannot intercept my traffic, which is good. But can any 3rd parties from outside the data center somehow intercept the traffic if it's between nodes and doesn't leave the data center?

Thanks in advance!

I spent a lot of energy and time studying applied ML in university. After competing in several contests I realized in most cases a simple linear equation threw shade on the whole carnival. Don't get me wrong there are amazing applications for ML, image recognition, simulated physics, the list goes on. But most of the commercial applications I've seen render a ML model wholly unnecessary. You don't need a heavy handed big data machine learning model to figure out, "people who bought also bought", nor does a crime prediction system need to be more complicated than, "where the cops and poor people were last year". FFS a national convenience store contracted one of our classes to do analysis on 10 years of data and the shocking conclusion most groups arrived at was, "people smoke a lot of cigarettes and drink a lot of beer". A revelation. Maybe if it were required curriculum people would realize you don't need to a hire a warlock to do basic statistics...
I did. There were fights around that age, middle school. I just noted that repercussions were mild at the time. I definitely don't remember police involvement in kid affairs until high school, and even then it wasn't about violence.

I don't think it's that way anymore.
Funny enough, as i've been looking to move away from G, i thought calendar element would be easy...but its not. (Well, its not s tough, just not a direct nor free transition.) The default android claendar app doesn't connect to a calendar via, say, nextcloud (calDav if i recall correctly)...One has to actually get/use a different app. I think the one that most folks recommmend for nextcloud is not free. (It is not expensive, so that is not the challenge.) Its fine for me since i am moving away from G apps...but my partner, she is meh-ok with some of their default apps...like the default android calendar app, though she would like to connect that app to our nextcloud cal...Again, nothing major, but just all these little annoyances that exhibit the super tight integration that was built into android with G services. Anyway, yeah calendar is annoying to ween off from G. Yuck!
That's the dumb ML practice of those companies, not Facebook. Also even an irrelevant ad probably converts through brand exposure alone. They are forced to fork over to compete for limited exposure.
If she resents you for something that is your nature, that’s (as you know) unsustainable. Resentments like that may need to be dealt with with the help of a neutral therapist.
That's kind of what I was implying with one of my other replies. This filtering is something that Alexa/Googs should be doing on thier end. Their mics should only be listening in the frequency ranges of what human voices exist.
I, as someone with no outstanding student debts anymore, would be ecstatic to have universal student loan forgiveness. It is the right thing to do, and part of being a conscientious citizen is advocating for issues that help society, even if they don't help yourself.
Great article (disclosure: from my colleague at Boiling Steam)! Definitely learned a lot as a newbie to VR on Linux. I'm still new to VR but not Linux gaming, and have been having a blast. I really appreciate it especially in the winter (great and fun workouts while playing games) and when other activities are limited due to the tragedy that is the US coronovirus response. The sense of space is what really gets me, never have I felt so transported somewhere else. This is in contrast to things like 3D movies where stuff pops out at you, while this gives depth and openness as you step into huge rooms, landscapes, whatever.

I also wrote [0] about just getting the Valve Index and playing on Linux with my aging but still capable desktop (poor 970 was still going strong but VR is really pushing it).

This is extremely similar to my situation. When I finish my workday I often find myself just sitting with her and watching Netflix but if I get up and go to the other room to do something I'm interested in she'll get upset.

I think a lot of the issues come from the fact that I don't feel I "need" anything from her. It makes it hard to relate to her when she "needs" something from me. I actually think not needing anything from other people is the root of the issue. I'm very independent and always trying to be self-sufficient (stock piling money, etc) so that I don't need to rely on other people.

I think this independence is a fault as it keeps from from "being vulnerable" and opening up more which is what leads to deeper connections with other humans. I'm trying to work on it a bit and have found that when I genuinely open up to my wife it actually frees up more time for me. Rather than spending 3 hours watching netflix we can spend 30 minutes having a deep conversation and then her needs are met and I can go do my own thing. Trying to do this regularly is really difficult though.
I see no contradiction.
Sad to see the focus being on gaming. Installing any modern game on windows is a nightmare. You install one root kit after another. All running as administrator and installing things left and right, with each studio having their own identity tracking running forever in the background.

The benefit of VR will be when it is decoupled entirely from games. Just like we got window manager composers when we finally stoped looking at openGL as a game technology.

> They didn't emerge from React - but it isn't possible to do React without them.

It is 100% possible to build large React apps without redux/flux. There are entire ecosystems built around, say Mobx, among many other libraries and tools which don't even follow the flux style patterns.

> The example on the website uses closures to handle component state

I'm not asking about component state; I'm asking how do multiple components access app-wide state. I can't use a singleton for that; how do I know when that singleton is updated? I guess I could use a proxy but I don't want to do that.

> and to let users pick their desired level of complexity.

React is the view layer. It doesn't enforce any type of data layer or state management layer.
