Seconding this, there's something about taking notes that allows one to self-reflect in a way that is hardwire into ourselves unlike tapping screens for notes.

I think one of the gaps between bots and humans is bots cannot sense non-verbal cues. Humans are highly irrational and at times don't really say what they mean, which could be hinted and emphasized by tonality, delivery, pace, posture, composure, facial expressions, etc.

Questions to Plato: could bots be effective in giving us feedback? could they be initiating and leading healthy conversations in the future? could they be derailing unhealthy conversations in the future?

Kinda reminds me of TARS from Interstellar, good bot.
I do get with the frustration, but with the current state of US (federal) laws it is probably the best remedy available now (unlike GDPR where you can really go and score larger fines and even jail time if it is grossly negligent or intentional).
Dark-coated Starlink satellites are better but not perfect
Not sure if you noticed, but Moore's Law died quite awhile ago now.
Unnecessary? I think non-whites would take issue with that. Race hatred and violence certainly resulted in "extraordinarily dangerous" outcomes for them over the last 250 years.

In any event, the Internet changed things. Before, it was very difficult to light the entire country on fire.

With the Internet, and social networks in particular, that has changed. The reach is unprecedented; it is a difference of kind, not just magnitude. Anyone can reach very specific groups of people and incite hatred and violence through targeted propaganda campaigns. There's more than one reason rhetoric and mass violence has increased since the late '90s (on a national scale), but I believe this is one of the biggest contributors.
Is Culture Stuck?
Eh, the ex-Soviet public is extraordinarily willing to buy into outlandish claims. At the turn of the 90s, millions tuned in to televised hypnosis sessions with Anatoly Kashpirovsky. Many others sought services to get "programmed" to stop drinking alcohol. The faith in life-extending properties of ginseng and especially miraculous cave tar shilajit is overwhelming.

This is the same thing you see with people called "undecided voters" in the US. By turning away from the mainstream and claiming that "both sides are wrong," they show great willingness to buy into exotic and elaborate conspiracies that give them an illusion of control over their lives. Belief in magic takes many forms.

Ehhh, people might be avoiding the test ... to avoid having to isolate. I am making this shit up, but I wouldn't be surprised.

"hardware giveth, and software taketh away"
I don't think it's shady marketing. The company is composed of several prominent software engineers (eg Brad Fitzpatrick of memcached fame). I think many folks on HN (myself included) are interested to see what they are working on. Especially as Brad left Google to work on it.

Or it's a typo, and who cares?
It all started with one case. So unless you can really extinguish it, which is borderline impossible due to people not taking lockdowns seriously, it is just gonna start back up again.
> We're likely to be approximately several tens of thousands orders of magnitude below the advancement of any supposed "visitors".

What's feeding your intuition here? I wouldnt have thought they'd likely be _that_ advanced. But I'm not sure where tens of thousands of orders of magnitude puts them on e.g. the Kardashev scale, and I'm sure being a huge Star Trek fan has affected my own intuitions :)
Mine? No. But other people, maybe. And the more you advocate for silencing them from discourse, the louder and faster their words will become.

I know you think you're isolated in the world of Facebook and California, but you have no idea what you are advocating for.
Turris Omnia is supposedly one of these routers. I have their old model from a few years back, and it's been serving quite well for all my needs. The OS is their custom version of OpenWRT, and you can do stuff like LXC, Wireguard and all that quite easily.

The only problem is the ARMv7 hardware, which doesn't really cut it with modern Internet speeds anymore, especially with Wireguard.

That said, I can't wait for pfSense and opnSense finally support Wireguard. And pihole should finally get a FreeBSD version. I'd much more prefer the sense systems over the wrt, but the time is not yet here.
People boycott products all the time. This would be no different. If you really wanted to have an impact, you get a few hundred businesses together and they all drop their contracts with said companies and find new vendors.

Happens every day in business. People switch vendors all the time. Saying that Google is too big and it would never happen is a bit myopic don't you think?
Are you kidding? As far as I know, there is no greater event generally in a persons life when their purchasing habits and lifestyle change, and they are looking for new brands, than pregnancy.

Not only just for the huge amount of money people will spend on baby stuff, sorting out cribs, but then eighteen years perfectly time-able marketing for birthdays, different stages of development, loans, different cars, houses, college loans, It is probably the most valuable single even about someone from an advertising perspective and whoever can get in first is out to make bank.

How valuable do you think it to build relationship with, track the preferences of, and pick a the perfect adverts and products to show a person who has purchasing power for someone for eighteen solid years? With 100% certainty of what they are going to need unless something tragic happens.

Also knowing that based on the socioeconomic status whether they will be pressed for time and desperate for discounts, or be flush enough that they can afford to give their sprogg the most expensive things they will grow out of.
OP here; yes, definitely! However as a tiny company, we don't have any of the same incentives to make it work like Google does. But it still manages to work because we enjoy the freedom/low-stress environment and want to maintain that, so that means doing enough good work to keep the business alive. Being so small also means that whatever we do has a huge impact on the company, both positive and negative. So while the lack of deadlines reduces stress, there's still the reward of feeling like your work means something at the end of the day.

But is there anything stopping people from forming a second government on top of the first one?
> How does one have a similar epiphany with information?

This is a hard problem. It's not like, with food, where you can go to an area where some kind of food is actually better and experience it (or not as easily). Even giving someone who's been on a poor information diet better quality content they may not recognize it or even accept it (in contrast to the extreme difference between a well-ripened pear and a still hard one).

Culturally, an emphasis needs to be placed on better education with a focus on critical thinking. Individually, reading broadly and interacting with people of opposing views and differing cultures helps a lot. If you grow up in an insular community and are told, "The others are heathens", you will internalize it and find it difficult to appreciate their statements (whether fact or opinion or somewhere in between) and consider them. It also helps to become somewhat detached and critical of your own views, self-questioning (not self-doubt) and introspection allow you to start separating your beliefs (opinions and interpretations of facts) from your knowledge (the actual factual basis for beliefs, if it exists). Then you can start reforming your beliefs and better reflect on the beliefs and statements of others.
The based the language on the assumption is that it is not valuable to google. I can't find a quote, but i recall that they made this assertion as a reason against these laws.
Milo had a book deal and was scheduled to speak at CPAC until someone uncovered a podcast of him defending the molestation of 13 year olds as a normal coming of age ritual.

I am not sure whether to assume you have not researched how he lost his platform or if you feel that defending molestation is "views that don't align with the left".
I mean, Reddit was pretty poorly built in the early days prior to getting popular and went down frequently due to load.

It's easy to blame incompetence, but startups are startups and many things are hacked together in a hurry when you're growing fast.

It's the Winter 1969 journal, and there Spring/Summer Journals, so I don't necessarily buy the April fools explanation:

https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/declassified-documents/tec...

> Key to The Extraterrestrial Messages - Winter 1969 - Vol. XIV, No. 1

Additionally, that same link above also contains this from the Winter 1966 journal, "Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence":

Yes. The influence they would have if the large parts of the world depended on them for internet and communications is insane.
Surely the bombs in London and Manchester were international news at the time, at least throughout the Western world?

Next you'll tell me the average American is unaware of the 7 July bombs on the London Underground, the ETA bombs in Spain, Breivik in Norway or the sarin gas attacks in Tokyo.
This looks super accessible and low-investment. Thanks!
I do like putting .json files on disk when it makes sense, as this is a one-liner to serialize both ways in .NET/C#. But, once you hit that wall of wanting to select subsets of data because the total dataset got larger than your CPU cache (or some other step-wise NUMA constraint)... It's time for a little bit more structure. I would have just gone with SQLite to start. If I am not serializing a singleton out to disk, I reach for SQLite by default.
Meh... I agree, but I don't know what to say. Also with TLS certificates you have to trust a third part service. As I wrote, I'm using S/MIME encryption to hide the content of my mails from gmail, not for security.

If you have any suggestion on other S/MIME CA providers, also not free, but is not the price the trouble here, you have to trust someone who generates the certificate.
Yet, very remarkable given that they were nearly stomped out of the market around 2010-2012 by previously "no-name" SoC makers, making cookie cutter SoCs cheap, fast, and selling by tons.

Yet, they recovered, and clawed back their way to the top, with only MediaTek now threatening them.

I don't expect MediaTek to be as inept, and Pavlovian if Qualcomm will ever come to them with a deal, as they did with Allwinner 8 years ago (Allwinner gave up on mobile market, and Qualcomm gave them an obscene cut from their low-end Snapdragons in return.)

And knowing Taiwanese, they simply don't sell companies owners spent their life working on. Very ego driven business culture.

Fucktons of notes and having a To-Do list in high-level and low-level points of view. Detailing them with ETA, Deadlines, and intended effects on qualitative and quantitative metrics kinda makes them easier to prioritize, too.

That's the cost for one-time use of the helium. If you're running a liquefier the cost is much lower, since you're recycling the helium, but it still "costs" ~400W to cool 1W at 4K.
Agreed. Some people just don't care about testing.

I am friends with a doctor who tested positive. They went into quarantine with their whole family, assuming they would all get it one way or another, and didn't bother with further testing. I suspect this is the case for a lot of people.
On the contrary. Housing demand is elastic. Three people can share a single apartment or they can each have their own. The latter takes three times as many apartments as the former. The strategy people choose will depend strongly on what they can afford. The tighter the supply is, the higher the price, the more people you will find living in each unit.

The reason the price is capped by the lowest income is precisely because demand is elastic, if the landlords raised prices any, they would find themselves without tenants. The prospective tenants might move back in with their parents, for example (and yes, some of them might just end up homeless). There is insufficient demand at a higher price level.

Utilities, eating cheap food at home, and housing are inelastic. Try living without power.

Sure, living without power sucks, but above a bare minimum, the amount that is used is highly elastic. If I am having trouble paying the bill, I will absolutely keep use to a minimum.
I don't read Zero Hedge and I'm not a "fan" or anything like that. But there is significant disinformation about what they claimed and wrote. Zero Hedge did not present their theory as definitive (read for yourself at https://www.zerohedge.com/health/man-behind-global-coronavir...). It was speculative, and frankly it is totally appropriate to speculate in a situation like this. Why wouldn't a leak from a lab be feasible? Why were activists and media (and even scientists) so quick to squash any speculation or exploration or investigation about origin, when there have been numerous historical incidents where powerful governments and corporations denied culpability only to be proven wrong later when evidence came out (in some cases decades later)? There has to be an outlet for theories because hard truths often begin as open ended theories.

Consider as well that the CCP has still not permitted an international probe and site visit to this Wuhan lab. Note that in late December, a scientist said they would welcome a site visit (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55364445) but then when the WHO wanted to visit Wuhan to investigate, their visas were denied (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55555466). Lastly, note that other media outlets were NOT banned for doing what Zero Hedge did (example: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2020-02-13/after-zero-hedge-t...).

> This is not a left vs. right thing, it's an issue of Parler('s users) wanting to stuff the genie back in the bottle, they want to unsay what they have said and unpost what they have posted, because after the 6th it is extremely compromising for them to have said/posted it.

It is absolutely a left versus right thing if the same standards are not being applied to both sides. I'm not sure how your statements invalidate the double standards around doxxing. One group sharing publicly-available information for the public face of an organization is considered impermissible doxxing. But another group evangelizing and disseminating unintended public disclosure of private information (location data) is okay? The latter is not just equivalent, but a significantly worse act.

That's a good point. Covid testing can be irrelevant to your decision-making in the wrong direction as well.
Well, in this case the user really wants to modify the system so they can either 1) run it with Secure boot disabled, 2) use poorly-coded or outdated kernel drivers such as the list mentioned by mckirk (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25766871) to bypass NT policies, or 3) Install Windows in BIOS/CSM mode (so that the only hindrance is the generation of root certificates, unlike with UEFI installations which triggers the kernel to check if the drivers loaded is blessed by Microsoft).

Nice article, but it's flawed because it doesn't mention the cause of the spike is partly the backlog in testing over Christmas. Ireland have recently cleared that backlog, which contributed to the spike.
>> By the way you should be aware there is 100% no requirement for Apple to defend their choice for a compiler.

Of course they don't need to. But they did - or rather this is a justification, not specifically a defense. I was just adding on to the previous posters suggested reasoning, which is hinting at something more like a cover story for using non-GPL compiler. Of course they are free to do that too, but no need to publish silly comparisons to justify, rationalize, or defend it.
I thought so too! and it seems to have cut down on the misunderstandings...but unfortunately they persist.
Never forget to reflect on trusting trust, of course:

I highly recommend to everyone who is curious about this to read Nickel and Dimed. I read it for a college course and it opened my eyes a lot to the reality of life for people who our society does not allocate enough resources to, and who we are encouraged to consider lazy and to blame for their own predicament even when it's not true.
> right away there was squabbling with various countries arguing about what slice of the cake they should get and what part of the work they should be doing

That's just like the NASA SLS project. One of the project's key selling point was that there were work items performed in each of the 50 states.

Even if, through a miracle, the EU countries could agree, how exactly would they expect to hire engineers that could double their income overnight by going to FAANG?
Also Irish. +1 on your assessment here. The virulent strain narrative was peddled by the Irish government who went against medical advice and tried to deflect blame. The evidence doesn’t support the narrative.

I think the COVID-fatigue angle is quite interesting though. As critical as I am of the government they were under a lot of pressure from the populous to provide some sort of respite.
I'm working on a Keycloak deployment and also had a look at Ory
What pushed me away from it:

* Harder to evaluate quickly locally

* Documentation split across multiple services

* Was looking for a more turnkey solution instead of having to assemble and configure multiple parts

* Red Hat as a user

I dont mind Keycloak's monolithic architecture at all so far

Ory does look interesting but I would recommend to market this as a suite, not the sum of its parts
Of course you are—it would be a rare person who isn't, and it's completely understandable and legitimate.

From an HN point of view we're all learning together how to manage that while remaining a functioning community. The site guidelines are designed to help that happen, or at least to stave off the decline (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
I feel like everyone continues to assume COVID-19 infection has an exponential curve but it's been shown by Nobel prize winner Michael Levitt that it actually follows a Gompertz function more accurately. Not only that but the WHO recently released a statement saying that PCR testing for COVID-19 is not suitable as it detects many forms of respiratory problems including the common cold.

I feel like the author of this article is simplifying a complex topic.

As far as I am aware, the A-12 was secret until the 90s, though the existence of the nearly identical in appearance and function YF-12's was indeed made public in the 1960s. But how many in the 60s would have recognized one if they saw it? Public knowledge and common knowledge are not the same thing.
I'm confused. Wireguard and Jason/zx2c4 are not a non-profit, nor do they advertise as one. Why are you making it sound like he is doing something nefarious?

The argument for the ruling being bad is: the app links to the wireguard webpage (not within the app) which contains information on how to donate. That's like if in my app, I linked to my twitter profile, and my twitter profile contained a link to donate to me. It shouldn't be a problem.
If you live in the greater Washington DC area it is very easy to bump into political figures in real life. It has happened to me several times on flights too.

I like the idea of some super advanced society trying to manipulate our political process but all they need is the ability to wire transfer some cash to actual humans.
Friend, please call the suicide prevention hotline in your country. It will only take a few minutes.

If you do this now, and if you decide to trust in yourself and the many people who will help you from that moment onward, one day you can wake from this bad dream. You will have no more suicidal thoughts, and you will begin to love and appreciate yourself and your unique life, just as you deserve to.

Please just commit to making contact and giving it a try. You've spent lots of time researching the alternatives - please just spend a few minutes and take one step along this path.
So a sci-fi arcology, but along a line? It would be an interesting thing to give a try- mix it with some hyperloops to give it an even more modern sheen.
SAP is lots of enterprise software stuff, not just a DB.
Yeah I use pyenv + virtualenvwrapper and there are a few packages I am fine with having in the top-level pyenv version, rather than in any particular virtual environment: black, requests, click, etc.
>Indeed it's a tough for companies like Dropbox to compete against the Big Tech players. The proverbial you win some battles but lose the war.

It seems like Dropbox could be generating 10s to low 100s of million in profit every year. They're spending a lot on R&D that they don't necessarily need to in order to chase growth. Even if GDrive/OneDrive et.al. eventually drive them out of business it would only be after Dropbox made 100s of million to billions.
I fully agree, and even with all these points I don't think it's likely.

1. You should be running your own authoritative DNS, it's not hard. The only thing that can really happen to you is your registrar pulling your domain name, so you need to have a bunch registered piratebay-style. You should also own your IP space but that can be a bit pricey -- but once you own it it basically can't ever be revoked and you can advertise it to whoever you wish.

2. I sincerely doubt Let's Encrypt / ISRG would blacklist a domain name for cert issuance. Even if they did there's a whole lotta roots in the trust stores, I'm sure you'd find an issuer happy to make you a cert for a fee.

3. I deal with T1/T2 carriers in $dayjob and I promise they don't give a triangular shit about what you push through their pipes, given the constant stream of phishing/spam/ddos/malware they're happy to carry as long as someone pays the bills.
The same physics caused us to question ourselves, its just feedback at a different scale.
