That's called "finding a justification for unethical behaviour".

"Well overall it's better if I do the unethical thing because when you think about it REALLY it's for the best- and yes, I'll make some extra money this way, but that's unrelated to why I've searched my soul for any reason to make this okay".

Google et al aren't denying information to oppressed people. Their governments are. The companies have to decide whether they will be complicit or not.
I’m actually convinced that most ‘anti-gun’ groups don’t care about banning guns so much as making political hay over the general issue. If they were serious, the “solution” to the “assault weapon problem” is a semi-automatic firearms ban. It’s not realistic, but it is the maximalist position (and only effective way to remove guns of that capability from common possession).
Look. I’m not the person who brought up the 35k Model 3. I was pointing out that the absolute base car and base trim is a silly metric.

They don’t have to compete with the base model. They can compete with the volume model. If they match it on specs and features it’s competitive.

Tesla marketing has a habit of being very ambitious so we’ll see if the range and performance are better in the real-world. They certainly have the technology and battery advantage.

For implementing an optimized memcpy, I believe that is still true (although the gap between rep movsb and a nontemporal copy using vector registers is not all that large). But for many cases the code size improvement (a couple of bytes versus hundreds for a typical vectorized implementation) or restrictions on register use (kernel) mean that it can be a good choice.
Fewer people might own hungting rifles. But way more people are purchasing handguns and ar-15s
Over 4.3 million guns were sold in January 2021. We are on track for another record year. Hard to tell how many were from people exempt from background checks, likely a few hundred thousand more.

So you're saying that the reason there are no pro-gun democrats anymore is not because democrats are very anti-gun, it's because a pro-gun democrat would be associated with the NRA which is "leaning so hard into culture war nonsense"? So basically its republican's fault that there are no pro-gun democrats?

Is it also republican's fault that there seem to be no democrats opposed to putting transgender women into women's sports?

Is it also republican's fault that repeating the n-word in the context of trying to have a discussion with a student about its meaning will get you fired?

Or maybe the better explanation for all this is that democrats have moved substantially to the left?

Sure, we can talk about this in 100 years when BTC emission stops. Right now I prefer staying in BTC, but I think that the 2 big networks will grow together.

The real enemy is the closed fractional reserve banking system, I think practucally any open source cryptocurrency is better than that.
Instead of going watch-only, I went tablet-only for a while. That also discouraged doomscrolling as you’d have to dig the tablet from a bag instead of just grabbing a phone from a pocket.

Sadly most tablets are not waterproof, and are quite awkward as cameras. Otherwise I’d probably still go without a phone (I have zero need for telephone calls or SMS)

I'm honestly a bit surprised we still don't have decent voice control for mobile. Is it really such a hard problem? Or is it that there's little incentive to help users look at their screens less? Audio advertising is much more disrupting than on-screen ads alongside the desired content...

> The Drakensberg in South Africa ... are sometimes cited as an inspiration to Tolkien.

Tolkien returned to England with his mother aged 3 and never went back. Tolkien himself claimed "to have few memories of South Africa, except for a vivid encounter with a large spider, an experience he put to good use later in his writing. The grave of his father, Arthur Tolkien, is still identifiable in Bloemfontein’s President Brand Cemetery" [0] So probably not a big influence, if any.

As far as I can tell, MorphToken doesn't allow you to set a fixed destination amount. In other words, when going XMR->BTC you can't set or know the exact amount of BTC that will be delivered.

ChangeNOW allows that, but has a much higher minimum, .003 BTC or so. Not useful for small transactions.

And all of these services take many minutes to complete the exchange, by which time the invoice you're paying might expire. AFAIK xmr.to was the only one that did instant exchange with zero confirmations for smaller amounts.
>it's trivial to go there and get a non-complying gun.

Is it? I haven't tried buying a gun in another state because that's illegal, but I'm assuming it would take some effort.

And honestly, what's the point? For the most part, the things that California bans aren't guns themselves. The bans are focused on how you put the pieces together, as well as what plastic doodads you attach to the gun. It would take about 3 minutes and a screwdriver to turn my two California-legal rifles into two felonies. No need to drive to Arizona and find a gun seller who is willing to break the law by selling to someone from out of state.

> Depreciation will determine the average lifespan of most cars.

Depreciation has little relevance to the majority of used-car buyers who need a vehicle, not an investment. They drive it until it can no longer be driven.

What is more relevant to the lifespan of a car is durability and availability of parts. For example Honda shared parts between the Civic, CR-V and Integra so they are relatively easy to obtain even going back to late 90s models.
With the Hughes amendment closing the machinegun registry, it effectively restricts machinegun ownership to those who can afford to pay $5,000 for a low quality item and $20,000 or more for something for something decent.

I mean, the latest assault weapon bans are approaching a full semi-auto ban minus handguns (unless defined as an "assault pistol").

The strategy is probably to pass -something-, then followup with a more complete ban.

that's incorrect. accidental shootings and suicide are major categories, while intentional homicides, of which "gang violence" is a subset, is pretty low on the list.

Really bizarre way to start an article. It's quite remarkable how such statements are mainstream now. Is the author unaware that there are corrupt politicians of all backgrounds?
Why don’t you write it with posix only tools then? It’s a great idea that didn’t exist yet. Who cares how the developer made it? I’m sure if it takes off people will rewrite it in go and rust with standalone binaries and the HN crowd will love it. I’m pretty sure people use the tools they’re most familiar with. Bashing people for their choice of tool is a popular comment on HN but doesn’t accomplish anything.
I was able to easily hide my persistent notification, and still get the actual notifications for messages.

I understand it should use more battery, but my phones still last multiple days even with F-Droid versions of Element and Telegram running 24/7.

One real annoyance is that after upgrading the apps, I need to start them again manually. Otherwise I won't receive any notifications until I do. IIRC with the Google Play versions, the push notifications will arrive and cause the app to start.
Yeah same really abruptly made me want to stop reading. Imagine switching out white people with another race and it’s blatant racism.

Synthetic Time-Series Data: A GAN Approach
I’d be careful to suggest it has so much to do with “real factors” like relative safety to ease of survival and more with cultural effects. We see this observationally as subsets of the US have lifelong marriage rates in the 90%s, specifically religious communities.

I don’t recall the exact numbers but even just considering how many sexual partners people have can drastically change average likelihood of eventually divorce - with virgin couples above 80% AFAIK (some overlap with religious communities likely). Even a few decades ago when survival was still pretty easy marriage had higher success rates.

The culture probably has a lot more to do with the rate of successful marriages than our safety or lifespan

It would have been ok if they used it to fill up a <90min movie, but it was almost 2 hours long, just trim it out entirely and the movie is way neater.

The friction between the professional and the self-taught archeologist, Mrs. Pretty’s illness and the slow revelation of what they had found was enough drama to fill a movie. The shoehorned ww2 and random love side plot stuff made me lose interest.
Why not sell that energy to other countries then, or put it to use to produce goods and services that people need? Maybe move a data center from a more polluting country to Iceland?

There are many things that people actually need which could be done with that energy, but that would probably bring less money than burning it away on Bitcoin.

And make no mistake, these things are still being done, just soemwhere else in the world with more polluting energy. The energy supply of the world is limited, so mobile use cases will often move around.
Recently miners started exploiting this possibility for profit. This is a problem in many ways, and this problem is hard to solve. Possible solution involves splitting miner role into two - one group will do sequencing (without knowing much about txes contents), other will do application of txes to the state managed by the chain. There are more radical ways of solving the problem - for instance one can hide all the execution from miners. One example would be ZEXE: https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10175111

Then I looked at the language examples and... none of them seem to really use this idea of cell size??

I followed the link from the article to the Mudita phone kickstarter[1] and am surprised at how unbelievably big that simple phone is. Greater than 14mm thick.

Contrast this with my favorite phone, the MOTO FONE[2] from 2006 which also had an e-ink display and had dimensions of 47 x 114 x 9.1 mm.

This has been true of many of the "modern dumb phones" - dimensions, particularly thickness, have been surprisingly large.

EDIT: On the other hand, the "Light Phone" linked from the article has dimensions of 95.85 x 55.85 x 8.75mm which is, at least, not silly ...

Having read a few pieces from this author's blog, it strikes me that he lacks nuance and writes for sensational rhetorical effect.

Debates about access and the role of money in American politics are important.

Conflating direct bribery (as in transfer of value for official action) with fuzzy access politics does NOT clarify the discussion.

It seems the point is to push back against some strawman argument that corruption only exists in less developed countries. But thankfully, we have a well-developed political science tradition that defines, measures and tracks these things much more carefully than a blogger-agitator.

Toss in the petty racial elbow-jabs, this blog post is not particularly worthwhile.

It's not bashing a tool per se, sorry if you read it as such. I was pointing out that with the abundance of tools we have at our disposal this project sounds to me like a solution looking for a problem.

I just suspect that people who advocate for modal editing and hjkl etc. think that those things are some grand UX secret that only real nerds know about. But really they are just artifacts of that particular historical circumstance.

http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_hardware_and_key_choices.htm...

"How did vi's mode switching idea came from?
Back in 1970s, terminal screen are 80 columns by 24 lines. There's no real-time editing. You edit by typing a command, then call another command to have the screen update to show the result of your command. Vi's “modal editing” is evolved from this. This is also why emacs's manual calls itself “Real Time Display Editor”. Emacs is the first or one of the first “Real Time Display” editor.

Why vi uses j k h l for cursor movement?
Unix vi's use of j k h i for cursor movement, and the choice of Escape key for mode switching, came from the keyboard it was developed on, the ADM-3A terminal."
That touches on a point about science fiction I've noticed.

reality can be boring. Reality dictates that we travel at a fraction of the speed of light. We cannot fix things we did. We have a limited lifespan.

Honestly the made-up stuff makes fiction a lot more entertaining. Time travel is really fun (though primer required a dive into wikipedia to unravel). Warp drives and wormholes open the universe to exploration. Living forever might be just as fun as time travel - you can fix stuff forward or just see it all. I don't mind suspending my disbelief.

EDIT: On the other hand, there might be one real subject that is interesting from

I don’t understand why people care about local book stores if not for the atmosphere. Buying online from local stores makes no sense. The store doesn’t make the books. They’re exactly the same thing no matter where you buy them from. “Local” book stores just buy books online and then resell them so what could you possibly gain from not just buying on Amazon?

No, because the data can’t address how many gun owners gave up their guns (willingly or not) in the time period. Or how many gun owners died for that matter.

If first-time buyers made up 40% of sales, a net increase in gun ownership is likely. If it’s much lower, maybe not.
Yeah think about all the primarily non-white countries with legalized corruption. Would they ever blame the culture of the predominate race in that case? Dollars to donuts the answer is no.
Voice chat has been huge in China before Clubhouse due to population with limited technical and writing skills. Half of my grandmothers weibo groups filled with grannies are almost completely run on voice chat. The model is a natural fit with mature counterparts that this article already talks about.

I surmise this piece exists because there are some very candid talks in Clubhouse right now about XinJiang among Chinese diaspora, between Uyghurs and Han. Some livetweeting about the discussions:

https://twitter.com/KaiserKuo/status/1358112725038202880
https://twitter.com/BadChinaTake/status/1358186255981416450

Chinese censorship is going to neuter Clubhouse the same way it neuters other voice Chinese platforms that have more mature models than Clubhouse. Useful reminder: Clubhouse runs on Chinese founded Agora. Good chance these Clubhouse groups with real name and identifiable voice will be compromised.

Agora being Chinese or not, there's already "infiltrators" in the groups recording / transcribing everything being said. This is no different than Chinese students taddling on each other in western university campuses for wrongthink. Rising Chinese nationalism among young = confucius institute / united front tactics have been ingrained on an individual level now. Real question should be will Clubhouse model work on Chinese topics. Answer is... not without serious work hiding identity first. Clubhouse should consider build in voice scrambler + incognito accounts.
