I have major criticisms of Basic Income / UBI experiments. They are limited to a small number of individuals during a limited amount of time. The study is not distributing enough money to change market prices and participants aren't getting taxed at the higher rates needed to support the payments. So essentially you're measuring the impact of giving people the money without the other effects of a Basic Income system. Furthermore, I doubt the participants' landlords were made aware of the extra money their tenants now have. I could go on, but there are so many externalities that are not being captured to accounted for.

Will these limitations be taken into context? I doubt they will, as most UBI experiments tout how much better the participants feel, how great it was for their mental health, how much more secure they feel, etc.. This is nice, but I feel like they were measuring the effect of a stipend, not a Basic Income.

To rich to fail. Disgusting how the wealthy get away with pretty much everything while the poor are robbed of their possessions and freedom.

You know (and I realize that this comment will be highly controversial), you know, it's amazing to me that in this day and age, if someone is rich and/or famous and accused of a crime, it's amazing to me that the media never seems to give them "Due Process"...

"Media Due Process"

For lack of a better term...

It doesn't seem to exist in this day and age.

I'd like to hear the other side of the story before I make up my mind, thank you very much!

Until I do, from the accused own's mouth, I might add, I'm going to presume innocent until proven guilty.

I will not be "the court of public opinion" in response to the media, any media, slighted one way or slighted the other.

I simply refuse.

I don't know the accused, I don't know what happened, and until all of the facts are on the table -- pro and con -- I refuse to make up my mind on the subject.

A single set of facts from a single media outlet, or even several -- are not all of the facts, because they could have been cherry-picked, one way or the other...

I take this approach; this mindset; with all media in this day and age -- not just the media outlet that broke this story...

OK, those are my thoughts.

Go ahead and lambaste me if you disagree...

I have read the site and some comments here. First, your site does not explain well what do you mean by private blog which is shared. From the comments I understood that you have to create accounts for people who you want to view some content. I am guessing that would give them either a email/password or some type of secure link. If its the former I would definitely find it tedious, and if its the latter I would like to know how are you securing this link.
That's not true at all. Where do you live?

You are quoting an article which has flawed view points of a couple of people, almost all foreigners without a vested interest and much skin in the game..

It seems to me all the streaming gaming services so far have been a flop. In order for it to work, we need really high bandwidth, reliable internet connections and low latency. The technology maybe isn't quite ready still, because we haven't really been focused on the reliability of internet connections and wifi, just more peak download speed. Streaming gaming sounds sexy, but IMO, it's probably bound to keep being a flop for the next 5-10 years. Not something I would invest in.
Although I don't contend that the problem is real, is "hate the fake reviews, hate the counterfeit goods" an American thing because I have only ever seen this complaint on hackernews.

> The closest parallel to Allah hu Akbar I can think of would perhaps be something like Aum Namaha Shivaya, but not really.

Maybe something like Jaya Bhagavaan. Of course the amazing thing (to me) about Hinduism is the tendency towards non standardization, and the sheer diversity of symbolism despite the attempts to simplify it down to a single religious identity.
Its even worse. In many cases blockchains still require a central authority that controls the write access to the system.

A blockchain / distributed ledger can be easily flooded with spam. The only way around that is to make access expensive. That works for the "actual" blockchain because the effort to put something in the chain is the money.

In applications where you don't have want expensive writes, a central gatekeeper (or at least a cabal of power-nodes) is needed to restrict access to prevent spamming.
Never thought about that! That could be funny indeed :)
People kept trying to convince me that Stadia is fantastic with its supposedly amazing tech.

I live in a larger city and I am in the privileged position to have access to a top shelf internet connection, so I gave it a try.
It was not "fantastic", I would describe it as barely ok. Latency was surprisengly good I admit, but absolutely noticeable and annoying. If this is some kind of "future of gaming", I have to say it feels like a massive step backwards to me.

Fans will of course tell me that I am not the target audience given that I highly value these aspects, but I still have to wonder who is (good internet, short distance to data centers, at the same time not owning consoles or a PC).

Many people worldwide do not have the luxury of access to fast internet.
Current battery tech can already deliver enough charge/discharge current to act as a momentary power boost for combustion engines. Many hybrid systems act this way, providing additional acceleration and/or torque filling (i.e. delivering power in between gear-shifts of the ICE). Maybe you could recoup a bit of additional power during hard braking with supercapacitors, but in practice I doubt it's going to make a meaningful difference.

For drones I don't understand why supercapacitors with equal energy density would be beneficial? I don't own a drone, but is charge time an issue?
Yes...? We would still be talking about highly regulated centralized power generation. We're not talking about everyone having a nuclear reactor in their backyard.

I really like vttest. I used to use it when I was still working on Console Telnet for Win32 (https://github.com/cout/consoletelnet). It revealed a lot of bugs in how escape sequences were handled that I might never have noticed since they were obscure (yet important) corner cases.
Bit of a plug, but if you crave for that, and more, you can use AutoKey on Linux (not AutoHotKey which is Windows only): https://github.com/autokey/autokey

It will let you bind custom Python scripts to any mouse/keyboard sequence, including words on the fly. It can trigger word replacements just like Espanso (I use it to fill in emails, dates, addresses, timestamps et phone numbers), and of course, Python being Python, it lets you do a lot more.

The UI is probably not as good as Espanso's, and it may be harder to use (you need to script). On the other hand, it provides an API for prompting you with UI to select dates, files, input, etc., has timers and the whole Python 3 stdlib.

Some nice stuff I do with it:

- typing $email/$ phone present me with a list of email addresses/phone num (I have a lot of them) to insert one. Prevents typo. By pass web form limitations.

- $now and $date does something similar with dates (listing of various formats for the current date and a calendar). Very handy for documents and file name. Most of them don't have automated fields set up.

- $paste paste the clip board content, by passing any UI preventing me to do so, and screen/tmux limitations.

- I'm a heavy dynalist users (dynalist.io/) I love this software, but it lacks a lot of features, which are easy to add with AutoKey: just make a macro that inputs a serie of actions.
Thanks! If you have any feedback or experience any problem, feel free to open an issue on GitHub :)

The only reason you would
want packages from different distro's is if they have a different version.

With nix you can install packages with different versions, you can also install old packages by going back in nixpkgs history and building the package.

Nix being source based means you can install any software package as long as you have access to it's source.

Ofcourse some of this is possible with other systems too but the nix ecosystem makes it far easier to build packages in different languages.

In short nix can treat the disease (missing different versions of packages in distros) instead of treating the symptoms (installing packages from different distros)

I disagree. I think it has everything to do with hardware because the software has to work with the hardware. The teams more than likely focus on making sure new hardware works with the OS as a priority and focus on the "nice to haves" for point releases. Rosetta, for example, probably took up a large chunk of time in the latest release and that has to extend to nearly every aspect of the UI to make sure that notifications, power management, and resource management all work properly with both new and existing apps on both ARM and x64 versions.
I'm always puzzled when stratechery articles hit the front page. Every one I've read seems long winded and trying too hard to sound smart. I guess people like his writing though.
alibaba/euler is a lightweight library built specifically for GNN sampling only.

While GraphScope is built for many kinds of graph tasks such as gremlin, graph analytics and GNN sampling.

You can check this example to get an idea what GraphScope can do.
https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/alibaba/GraphScope/blob/...

The graphs on GraphScope is backed by vineyard (https://github.com/alibaba/libvineyard). And that enables GraphScope to have multiple specifically optimized runtimes (written in C++, rust and Python) for different tasks shares the distributed graph data in memory efficiently.

Keep in mind that the author already states they rarely need an office suite, so needing spreadsheets is an ever rarer occasion. For those kinds of users, Google Sheets is perfectly fine and even has some convenience features that the competition doesn't (for me, those are mainly great checkbox and dropdown support, some fancy "online" formulas that can do things like currency conversion, and linking spreadsheet ranges into Docs).
SpaceX does do simulations, and tons of it. SN8 and 9 wouldn't have performed that well during the descent stage without amazing guidance software, which could only have been developed through extensive simulations.

Simulations are always going to be "assume a spherical cow in a vacuum" to a degree, as the real world is unbelievably complex, and you have to use models at some point. These models _can_ be wrong, and the only way to test them is through experimentation.

I don't understand the supply chain use case. You can't trust the third party to enter "shipping container #123 has 10,000 bananas" into a centralized database, but you can trust them to enter "shipping container #123 has 10,000 bananas" into a blockchain? They can still lie about what they put into the blockchain, it isn't magic.

If you're a long-hold investor who lives in the terminal, it's perfectly fine. Plus watching GME crash in ASCII is entertaining.
I mean, they have to be scheduled in advance to avoid even the implication of trading based on non-public information.

I would find it hard to believe an accusation of "insider trading" if an GameStop officer sold a bunch of stock last week, rather than the much more likely public-information explanation of "we're definitely not a $25B company and everyone knows it".
I'm curious if the HFs that shorted Gamestop, are also profiting off of the wild swings by Redditors who have now lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They could easily swing-trade this stock all the way down, using massive buy/sell orders to drive the price.

If Melvin Capital isn't bankrupt after all of this, there might just be A LOT of broke redditors who cashed in their lifesavings on this gamble.
Ask HN: Without Googling. How do you define Branding?
On my journey as an entrepreneur one of the most confusing things I've been trying to figure out is what exactly is Branding?

So, without first googling it. How do you define Branding?

> In a six-page statement of facts, Smith acknowledged evading more than $43 million in taxes over a decade and repeatedly filing false tax forms.
> I don’t believe anyone in the world is truly passionate about things like payroll software.

I actually think that’s probably not a good assumption. I know you’re being pejorative, but imagine a scenario where someone has been working for years as a payroll administrator or someone who’s been a consultant working on implementing payroll systems for decades. People learn the market and get sick of the status quo and have tons of new ideas. I could easily see someone get excited about a way to make their job easier, more fun, more efficient, etc. and go and launch a new payroll software startup that just improves everything.

My point is: good entrepreneurs are passionate about solving problems. Sometimes those problems might “seem” boring but don’t assume they are.
That's a bad analogy. France gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear and it scales perfectly fine. It's not like everyone will have his own personal nuclear reactor in their living room
DFV himself said that GME might be worth $50 a share if, and only if, the Cohen turnaround eventually takes.
What I mean is that a system should be discoverable, that is exposing its logic to the user. A good counter example is the French orthograph and grammar : Byzantine rules, exceptions to the rules that have to you just know about, letters and accent you don't pronounce that are there for ideological reasons, etc. It tends to favor those who just know and to put the learner at a disadvantage. I am NOT saying that Windows is a good example of discoverable system either and I am not switching back to it anytime soon.

> I think the perception of a certain way being easier is largely based on what one is used to.

I think the perception of things being "not that hard" is bias one acquires once accustomed to the quirkiness of a system, not perceiving anymore what has made learning painful or slow. I like to program in C now that have shot myself in the foot so many times, I am even proud that I have mastered it and I learned a ton in the process. Nevertheless I am glad that Zig is approaching 1.0 and would recommend it to any beginner over C.

When you can read the DOJ case filings and all the facts of the case, where he actually agreed that he did in fact commit crimes, there's no need to "hear from the accused's own mouth." You're just making excuses for someone's crimes in the name of some intellectual purity exercise. Do you also believe there were "good people on both sides" in Charlottesville?
Having been personally unable to justify the astronomical price of buying a replacement laptop while in Brazil, I assume Amazon is complying with tax policies:

“Import costs include the Import Duty (II), the Merchandise and Service Circulation tax (ICMS) and the Brazilian Federal Value-Added Tax on Manufactured Products (IPI). Import duty is a federal product-specific tax levied on a CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) basis. Rates usually vary between 10% and 35%. The IPI is a tax levied on finished products (whether foreign or domestic), resulting from some sort of industrial process. The IPI is not considered a cost for the importer, since the value is credited back to the importer. IPI rates range between 0% and 15%. The ICMS is the VAT levied by states and applies to the legal, physical, or economic circulation of goods, whether imported or not, the services of transportation and telecommunications.”
