Not quite. As I've tested the speed is much slower when I'm using a simple-peer API with external IPC servers array filled in.

You may use what better fits your use case. But I want to mention that I made and end-to-end encryption for initial signals to be sent to each other. Signals are basically encrypted and hard to hack. Also deskreen has a lot of alrets and confirmations so you can always check your devices IPs. Also it has Lock Room feature -> meaning as soon as someone connected to a socket, it is immediately locked and no one can access it except 2 host and client devices.

But you can have a look in source code and maybe find some security leaks. Please submit the issue if you find it.

By the way I forgot to reference simple peer on github, let me fix that soon.

I'd rather say: it's wrong.

HN readers' parents are likely far more technically inclined than an average person.

(The commenter did not invoke their own parents, which might be a slightly more reasonable position)

Making a claim that HN's parents must be technically incompetent adds nothing to the thread, is likely to cause momentary confusion, and only contributes to the "bad" ageism that you are concerned about.
Apparently she was “good” to the people in the group. Didn’t say no to anal and kept the good times going.

Maybe the coefficient is related to your age. You got older, so there is more wisdom around. ;)
Employer based health insurance should be abolished. There should be one risk pool either nation or state wide and within that everybody can get insurance for the same price. It would reduce a lot of administrative effort in companies (why does my employer have to worry about my health insurance but not my car insurance?) and allow people to change jobs without worrying about health care. Religious employers also couldn't control things like birth control because health insurance would be none of their business.
This is a weak argument because those goals are not mutually exclusive
That doesn't sound like a cash replacement to me, it sounds like an investment vehicle. The reason cash is cash is that there's no inherent benefit to sitting on it. No one is going to be able to trade 10 $5 bills they put in the drawer this year for 5 $100 bills in a year or two, and we all understand that and operate on that shared understanding. If there's a hope and a real chance that I could get rich by just sitting on a cryptocurrency, I'll have to weigh its divestment against holding it. And the people or entities that have the biggest counterweight to investment are likely to be those who get some additional benefit besides its monetary value that they'd have to pay mightily for with cash anyway, like anonymity for practical rather than political reasons.

More than that, he refused to acknowledge his legal name when he was granted access. It's quite a strange story.
> I don't get this at all.

I think this is why I suggested looking it as two markets. Your examples (estate lawyers, auto repair, dental care) look a bit like a visit to your GP's office. None of it looks much like some of the other things healthcare provides for us (e.g. many major and emergency procedures). And it's not like all of those markets are working particularly well currently (auto /house sales/ opticians/ etc. suck)

I don't think anyone would disagree that one-size-fits-all is the right approach, which is why nobody really tries that. What you are essentially saying is that you think is that you will get more flexibility if you open that market further, and that it will be both a better solution for more people, and not a horribly worse for any significant number of them (which is probably not acceptable here).

I'd agree with the first part, but the second requires faith - that in practice the signalling that you are talking about is clear enough (in both directions) and the response time short enough that you arrive at a better solution and in a reasonable amount of time. This is not at all clear. This isn't about treating doctors as "gods" either, they aren't able to make the systemic decisions well either, individually.

> What actually bothers me most about this whole thing is that nobody is willing to get serious about the tradeoffs their system entails.

This I agree with entirely. Two big ones come to mind - we need to have a conversation about appropriate end-of-life care and costs, and we have to be very transparent that our current level of medical capability means that there is an appreciable risk that (to a first approximation) anyone may end up with a medical condition that (a) we know how to cure or mitigate and (b) that person will never be able to afford. To me paying for these (or choosing not to) is quite different than making sure you can get antibiotics when you get strep throat.

You point out some symptoms of the problem currently, but I'm a bit curious about why you are resistant to pursue know solutions that look more like, say France (or Canada, etc.) , than Singapore. Is it just ideological? I'd rather take some known improvements and then iterate to improve rather than NIH syndrome.
> That's a very good question, and not necessarily something I find easy to explain concisely.

I've been where you are. One tip I have is to spend a little bit of time (an hour or two) and work out exactly how to explain it concisely. What's your elevator pitch? If you ran into the CTO of your dream tech company at a friend's party, and they asked what kind of work you would like to do, what would you explain in 60 seconds?

For what it's worth, I think what you have above is pretty close. If you can tweak it slightly, you can likely get to a "Here's what I want to be doing and this is why you should hire me" in the same sort of pitch.

I know it's difficult to explain sometimes, but it's worth your time to figure out how to frame it concisely. Good luck!

And no doubt a great deal of crunch time, their fair share of delays, some major messes and the occasional outright cancellation. And if I'm not wrong their roadmap is not public information.

I personally find it hard to believe that a large company can exhibit all those adjectives you list. Everyone finds this hard.
I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here.

> Sadly, few business folks want that of course :)

Business folks want this usually because it's their money you're playing with.

> Ignore long term planning. It's not helpful.

So, no don't tell people to ignore long term planning otherwise people who give you money are going to stop giving you money to "build, demo and decide". Unless you're on your own dime (e.g. you pay yourself or are self funded), then I wouldn't take this advice.
I thought I preferred text but because I spend so much time online in my “free time” I prefer audio books and podcasts.
There's definitely a point about commercial software overfitting on first-use experience as opposed to reaching a higher productivity / usefulness plateau with some initial investment.

That being said, I would not overly romanticize FOSS' achievements in that arena. The lack of investment beyond merely writing functional code and the lack of opinionated design shows in many FOSS products, beyond the point of it being "geared towards repeat users / experts".

A lot of it just has extremely inconsistent interfaces that not only leave visual styling trends but also basic design principles founded upon human perception by the wayside, and that costs everyone, novices and experts.

Additionally, there seems to be a bit of resurgence in productivity apps that favor more keyboard-oriented workflows, or at least also think about how people can become faster and more efficient after the initial onboarding.

FBI doesn't says. Former romantic partner says. The investigation is still open. Wait until there's actual proof, otherwise this is no different than the Qanon bullshit.

> According to the affidavit filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the FBI received a tip from someone who stated they were a former romantic partner of Williams.

> The tipster said Williams “intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service,” the affidavit stated.

> According to the tipster, “the transfer of the computer device to Russia fell through for unknown reasons and Williams still has the computer device or destroyed it,” the affidavit stated. The investigation remains open.
People keep believing something that has no ties to reality and reality inevitably snaps back. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, that may have been the point of QAnon from the start.

Not sure what Haskell has to do with it. I've written algorithms that take in 2D images and produce depth maps with live visualization in OpenGL using Haskell. It's incredibly practical once you learn it.

But I also disagree from the point that if physics did what you suggested we'd be no where at all. If they had to start with reality before producing useful models then we would of skipped pretty much all of modern physics today.

All models are wrong, but some are useful as they say.
I'm pretty bullish on this trend.

Surprisingly, many get upset about this particular line while the reason I added it was simply to be honest in my argument.

I doubt anyone thinks that, expect that some people who say they are patriots believe that Pelosi is acting detrimentally when it comes to the common good in America. That is a reasonable criticism in general. Politics involves a great deal of claiming that someone else’s policies are detrimental. No one would claim Putin is “more aligned”, only perhaps less of a danger. They may also believe that Putin is at least instrumentally better for Russia than Pelosi is due America.

You can always store disk encryption password in iCloud or Microsoft account. Actually, macOS and Windows don't even allow you to enable disk encryption, without either storing the password in a cloud/filesystem, or printing it out.

Of course, this doesn't help you if the police or the government is after you, but that's irrelevant for 99,99+% of people.
Ok, so let's say Tether is a scam, unbacked, and everyone dumps it. How does this affect Bitcoin? In my opinion it would send it to the moon. When Tether is exited, where will it be exited to? Not the USD, maybe some into alt coins or USDC, but mostly into Bitcoin. Tether is scammy indeed, but it doesn't change the scarcity of Bitcoin, and the fact that there is still a huge demand and a constant supply for BTC.

Thanks for the explanation. I feel that Julia has always been well received on HN ever since we publicly announced it in 2012. I believe that post v1, there are just more users out there and more blogs are being written, more companies are using it, more universities are teaching it, and hence more stories are making their way to HN.

Nowadays, I find new Julia stories and posts when they show up on HN (as opposed to a few years ago when all you had to do was follow juliabloggers).
Plus, violence rates and juvenile deliquency rates at the time were not all that great. These debates always assume that kids now are somehow bad generation, but they actually statistically behave very well.

It can and should be improved, but that does not mean we have to pretend that part was all that better.

Interesting but seems like this was conducted before smart phones really took off in India (2010). Curious if a more recent study has been done.
Very interesting little test. I wonder if you've tried it at different times of the day or different states of mind? The ratio of neurotransmitter chemicals that are dominant in the brain changes widely with different conditions, which affects function.

For example, I just tried the test and felt like it was a great effort to visualize the star. I've just had a cup of coffee (similar to amines). But this morning, transitioning from a very restful sleep (when acetylcholine levels would have been high), I was having clear, partially directed mental images, similar to dreams, but wakeful.

EDIT: And even more interestingly (to me) I'm having a very _easy_ time with the other exercises you linked below...
Just an anecdote, but I installed Debian on my laptop two years and I was impressed with how easy full-disk encryption with LUKS was to setup. All it took was checking the box and creating a password. No issues so far! It definitely does seem like something that could be opt-out rather than opt-in.
Your base assumption seems to include that quality is valuable for its own sake. I don't totally disagree, but I'm wary of assigning value based on effort rather than output.

Depending on why you are buying a car, the Accord is very likely much better bang for the buck than the S-class Mercedes. And depending on the situation, the prototype is often better value than the shippable product.

It's not a binary choice between sacrificing the most vulnerable people and long periods of social distancing (the US has not ever really had anything resembling a lockdown, maybe your country has if you are from elsewhere; in the US we have had weakly enforced shelter in place orders and business closures).

In the US, smarter choices could have resulted in less death and a more robust economy. Just some leadership and resources devoted to contact tracing could have made a huge difference in how things went after May.

People get predictions wrong because they usually just extend ideas and concerns from their present lives into the future. It's understandable, and to some extent I think you can't get around doing that, except by randomly guessing and occasionally getting things right. I think about that picture of the winged mailman whenever futurists prognosticate about how we'll live in 20 years, let alone 100.
That’s the qanon side of the curve
No. I call myself a software engineer too sometimes. But I have no engineering certification or training. Just a quirk of language I guess.
The production of heat comes from the formation of bonds, not from the breaking of bonds! Many people find this counterintuitive. The energy from combustion comes from the fact that all hydrocarbon combustion produces a large number of strong bonds in CO2 and H2O. Breaking oxygen bonds produces no energy and in fact requires energy - it's just that since oxygen bonds are weak it requires less energy than one might expect.

> the ones that made it out ok always have some sort of story about how one adult in their life took an interest and helped them get through it.

How much time does that take of the person who is helping?

Also, from article, “Most of the $30 billion spent on child welfare annually is funneled into foster care or adoption services”, “Roughly 23,000 kids across the country are churned out of the system every year”.

That averages $100000 per child per year, assuming 300000 kids in care and all $30G spent on them.
It is my understanding that it is the states' responsibility to handle situations like this.

The fact that some states are not doing a good job doesn't incline me to want to gamble on the federal government doing better. They don't have a good track record in emergencies.

You might end up punishing the states who are doing ok, and possibly causing a lot of problems forcing everyone into one solution.

At some point politicians need to be held accountable. Passing the buck for everything is not a great answer.
Thanks for the perspective. I'm trying to build my network up again - I moved countries a few years ago and the majority of my network in back in Europe.
>The people who broke into the Capitol and stole things are not the smartest or most well-connected people.

Imagine you stole Putin's personal laptop, the secret special one with no password that he hides under his pillow. If you email info@state.gov and offer to sell it to them, it auto-replies with a warrant. They'll definitely take it, but they will not pay for it.

Better to sell it to some random American who thinks they won the lottery.

Edited to add: I guess a Russian warrant wouldn't mean much in the article's case. She basically paid a premium to not deal with a government.

Edited to add: best to not steal it in the first place, obviously. Obviously don't steal state secrets, don't loot your capitol, and just be cool.

I'm trying to get into her headspace so I can understand her. I think what she did was bad.

These problems do appear inextricably linked. Individualism in american culture is, IMO, the root. In many other cultures, family is huge -- folks are connected to their parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins... grandparents help out with the kids until they can't, and the skills of parenting are naturally passed from generation to generation. Funny to see a comment on another that "no one" is prepared to raise a kid... that's because individualism is bad at retaining wisdom.

The problem with your mixed old folks' home / orphanage is that individualistic old people don't wanna live there until they're too old to help out.

I think it was your mistake to put so much emphasis on judicial impartiality.

Election results were certified, and challenges to them rejected, not because of judge impartiality (which is a quality of the judge), but because the facts of the election are independently verifiable (which is a quality of the world).

Judges are required to identify facts and apply the law to those facts. Doing so does not require impartiality, only adherence to reality. That is the judicial basis for rejecting challenges to election results.

I use a similar methodology.

The part you didn't mention is that for most businesses it's better to be over than under in the estimation. I also explain this thought process to the various stake holders. We can certainly try to tighten up an estimate, but that runs a higher risk of being under which is usually a worse outcome (promised launch dates are missed, marketing is missed/happening, customers are told, etc...).

I think for this kind of high performance stuff, grpc is a reasonable choice. For ergonomics though, http + json is fine for many/most applications and there is a lot more widely available tooling for it than there is for grpc.

(My implicit assumption here is that a project like Arrow Flight wants a cross-language, widely used foundation for their protocol, and there's not a ton of things that fit that bill. But depending on your application's needs, implementing a language-specific rpc system is perfectly acceptable, and may have even better ergonomics. Rust and Python both have a plethora of mono-lingual rpc frameworks)
