> I'd like to see how "repeated addition" works in polynomial rings.

Consider the following polynomial: x0 * b^0 + x1 * b^1 + x2 * b^2 ... xn * b^n, where "n" goes to both positive infinity and negative infinity.

When "b = 10" and when "x" can be numbers from [0-9], we have the so called base-10 set of real numbers, do we not? IIRC, if b = sqrt(-1) * 10, we then have the set of complex numbers (a non-intuitive result. I may have made a mistake somewhere, but I assure you there's a surprising property along those lines).

That's the funny thing about real numbers and complex-numbers. Real numbers and even complex-numbers ARE polynomials, and therefore a polynomial ring. 3.1415926 == 3 * 10^0 + 1 * 10 ^-1 + 4 * 10 ^-2 ...

------------

I'm using a lot of words here. But all I'm saying is once again: Pi * 3 == 3.14... * 3 == 3 * 3 + 0.1 * 3 + 0.04 * 3 + ... == 9.42...

We can evaluate 3 * Pi by splitting Pi up into a set of additions (3 + 0.1 + 0.04 + 0.001...), even if that set of additions is infinite. Then evaluate 3*(each component). This is possible because Pi is easily represented as a polynomial X0 * 10^0 + X1 * 10^-1 + ... Xn * 10^-n.

There's a reason why polynomial multiplication is usually called "Carry-free multiplication". Because Real-numbers are just polynomials where you have that annoying "carry the one" property to keep track of. Remove the "carry the one" property (in say: Galois extension fields), and all the math still works.

--------

Hmmmm... I probably could have said all that in fewer words. TL;DR: "Real numbers ARE a polynomial ring". (And complex numbers are probably a polynomial ring, I just forgot how to prove that factoid)

EDIT: Just thought of a cute and simple retort. You ever do a CRC32 check? There ya go.
Indeed, there's demand/a market! Every player has a slightly different angle and market focus:

-Simplescraper as the name suggests is very scraping focused, not process automation focused.

-Browserless is more like 'heroku for browser bots' (i.e. a cloud runtime).

-include.ai (having pivoted) are a tool for internal browser extensions.

-browseai focus on the monitoring use-case.

-apify are very cloud runtime focused (they price on the memory of their servers and are much higher than us - getting back into traditional RPA territory).

...speaking of which, I haven't even started on traditional, developer-centric RPA yet. For that there's obviously automation anywhere, blue prism, leapwork, electroneek...

Accessibility is actually a really big deal here on Flutter (Ian Hickson and I both worked on Accessibility in browsers for years). AX is something I feel we've done pretty well with on iOS and Android. Web is still pretty early days, but many AX features should work already. We have more AX work to do on web yet. We've not yet taken any Flutter Web apps through Google's accessibility testing processes similar to how we've done on the mobile side, but I expect we will soon.

I know how addition is done in hardware. I've programmed multiplication and division on computers that only had shift and add instructions. I've implemented IEEE 754 floating point packages, too.

Multiplication is repeated addition.

Yes, I know about roundoff errors, overflows, etc.
I have a large Flutter codebase and flutter web is still alpha quality in my opinion, there's way too much jank to make it work properly on a web platform.
I've first read about PipeWire about two months ago and I'd really love to try it. But! My setup is working and I'm really not the kind of person who likes to unnecessarily tamper with a smoothly running system. So I'll probably try it the next time I need to do a fresh install. Promise!
Yup. As far as I'm concerned cliqz (and mozilla) completely lost my trust with that spyware.

Modified installers, randomly served to customers with no notification, opt-out by default, and sending full browser history to random servers is just too much for me to ever trust them that they have my privacy interests as their goal.

Twilio Feb 26 service disruption update
I've recently moved to Brave because of their addition of IPS (which I see as an interesting technology). I've been really happy with Brave - especially on Mobile which feel way snappier.

Also not having to install a 3rd pary ad blocker (uBlock Origin) makes me feel more comfortable. Firefox should ship with a good ad blocker - it does not.

I've not played around with BAT yet - it's on my TODO list.

Brave seems to be pushing the boundaries more than other browsers, and it'll be interesting to watch where things go.
Unfortunately, many academic papers are rendered in such a way that reading them from a phone is painful, so printing is one way to make the text accessible away from a desktop.

Another reason is that many people need paper to underline, mark, jot and otherwise annotate the text while reading, to understand it properly. It's still easiest to do on paper.
Fair enough, i guess that's something.
@Brendan, well done! There's some way to go but I like the direction you took, in particular the concept of "goggles". When will you release the first beta?

People often bring up the Bitcoin algorithm to make arguments against it, but don't seem to acknowledge the fact that the protocol is mutable.

If the sha-256 algorithm was cracked such that BTC blocks could be solved instantly, the existing miners would have to choose between:

1. No more income, or

2. Adopt a quantum-resistant protocol.

Market economics being what they are, I think it's safe to assume that BTC would survive the "quantum apocalypse." There's too much money at stake for any other choice to be the logical outcome.
This always made the most sense to me. You get your return and review it; sign off if it's good, modify and return it if you have more claims, something is wrong / missing.

I'd wager the majority of people wouldn't have a reason to submit a revised return. And if the federal government generated your return, hopefully that would give them reason to automatically exclude you from audit, (ideally) reducing the burden of auditors.
This. It reminded me of the Periodic Table of Perl 6 Operators, another "advert" that really isn't: https://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/periodic/
One possible upside is the Metafilter principle: If you charge $5, you get a higher quality signal by excluding a lot of chaff. The probability that your search engine user is human gets much closer to 1, and you save a lot (but not all) of the anti-abuse effort. This gives you better signal on which websites are interesting, so you need possibly orders of magnitude less data to do a good job.
The website and the app are two different things.
There is a difference between “you can” and “you will bother to when there are plenty of easier and equally enjoyable things to do.”
I've looked, but I can't find anything more about DEFL. (The table says it was used in certain serial numbers of the core memory for the Stretch computer, so it seems rather obscure.)

Based on the speed, it's plausible that it is a type of ECL, but I don't know where the diodes would fit in. IBM had other names such as current-steering logic for ECL.

Keep in mind that the 10ns speed doesn't mean you can run at 100 Mhz, since there are likely to be multiple levels of logic, as well as other delays. But it's still pretty fast.
I've used this before, but I was hoping for some automatic solution that backs up my data weekly/monthly & hosts it on S3 or something.

I'm surprised too, they now have:

- Windows Presentation Foundation

- Xamarin & Xamarin Forms

- Universal Windows Apps

- WinUI 2 & 3

- React Native fork for Windows (based on WinUI 2 migrating to WinUI 3)

- React Native fork for Mac (based on AppKit)

And now they also contribute to Flutter, wow.
We're all complaining about how js is a bad language, tooling is a mess, and how the web is fundamentally built for documents and makes it hard to create app-like experiences. Now, Google comes and creates a whole new UI toolkit from scratch, couples it with a very beautiful SDK and component framework and offers a far better programming language than js could ever be but we're still nagging. I was also pretty disappointed with the demo at flutterfolio.com that is supposed to show how great Flutter 2.0 for the web is. It's not that good but it's gonna get there eventually, given the hype around wasm and <canvas> technologies. Not to mention that Flutter is already better and easier to use than the existing native tools for both Android and iOS. I believe Flutter is an extremely ambitious project and I appreciate that Google is really trying to give an answer to the problem of cross-platform UI development.
It doesn't seem like you've been paying much attention to what I've actually said.

Thank you. To clarify, private.sh != search provider (gigablast). Thus, it would take collusion between both to couple the identity of the searcher to the search query.

private.sh does not have access to the private key associated with the public key that's used to encrypt the search query!

BEV charging isn't "excessively" inconvenient because you charge it like your phone: plug it in every night before you go to bed. You might not have 100% charge every morning, but that's no different from fuel, most people rarely have 100% in the tank. What is different is an ICE or a Hydrogen tank is never going to have more in it when you wake up in the morning than before you went to bed. That's a paradigm shift. (It is okay that on long trips you time a recharge with a meal/rest break, because that is the rare exception, not the week to week lifestyle.)

I don’t think they have to rent you anything if they don’t feel like it. They can wait for safer looking driver just fine. It’s just they don’t, because it doesn’t make sense for them from business perspective, but they very much could do that.
I just tried it on an iPad Pro with Safari. Clicking the tiles does not work, scrolling does not work with the touchpad, and overall it feels very janky. They probably didn‘t care to optimize / make it usable with Safari.

Another perspective:

Macs can play more games now, natively, than they ever could before. I've been exclusively a Mac user my entire life (except for brief periods where I also had to use Windows for work), and I regularly play over a dozen different games, and own hundreds more, which run just fine on my 2019 MBP. Granted, I don't try to play the latest greatest AAA 6k 240FPS competitive shooters, largely because I just don't care for that type of gameplay.

Most—not all, but most—games that run today on an Intel Mac will run on an M1. There's a crowdsourced list[0] that does a decent job cataloguing them. Furthermore, for games that don't run (or don't run well) natively on the Mac, CrossOver does a shockingly good job of making them work without any need for BootCamp or a full VM.

The old saw that "Macs can't play games" is a tired one, it's never been particularly true, and it's never been less true than it is today.

I think you could have exercised your thinking in another direction by improving the analogy by e.g. considering a cooperative gym where in addition to fees, the members are required to take an active part in maintenance of the facilities and equipment, enforcement of the rules, hiring and supervising the day-to-day staff (including top paid management), and so forth, and in exchange are not merely allowed access to and use of the facilities, but a share of any surpluses returned from its activities (applied as discounts, or returned outright as a rebate).

Sometimes upon finding a flaw in an analogy it is at least self-instructive to consider whether the flaw can be repaired rather than abandoned :: sometimes upon finding a flaw in a cooperative venture it is at least worth considering how the flaw can be repaired rather than withdrawing from the cooperative venture.
It really depends on what you mean by "outperform". If your goal is to catch the baseball, a simple gaze heuristic works well. If you want to understand how angle of impact, air resistance, rotation etc effect where the ball will land, of course you need a "complex" model that includes these factors. The most complete model, that provides our best explanation of the system, isn't always the model that yields the best predictions.
I don't really even want to think what I would pay Google to access their search engine if they made it a paid service tomorrow.
What does Google's monopoly have to do with the privacy implications of the method they're now favouring?

Either it's a more privacy-preserving method than current techniques and technologies or it's not, irrespective of the competitive landscape of the ad tech industry.

I think it's objectively the case that this is certainly better than assigning unique identifiers to every user and tracking those IDs + associated segmentation in third party databases that are ripe for abuse.

Is it perfect? No. But I didn't realize we were just gonna go full nirvana fallacy, here. If that's your bar, nothing short of eliminating targeted advertising entirely will satisfy you, in which case, frankly, you're being unrealistic.
This is my experience too. I was audited and they do send you a "shock" letter or at least they did in my case claiming I owed roughly $15,000 USD. After fixing my mistakes (and submitting an updated filing), they sent me a check for a bit more than $1,500 USD. Plus I learned about my mistakes so it was a win-win (as I learned with just enough time to not repeat the same mistake for the next year's taxes).

I had an A+ experience being audited after my initial shock. They even have a secure message system where you can communicate via a website with the IRS including uploading files instead of having to mail letters back and forth. Definitely some clunkiness but overall it was solid and worked.

Not sure I'd recommend the experience but I definitely found it nothing to fear. I also found I didn't need professional assistance with being audited (I did seek it out but due to the time of year being so close to the next year's tax due date, I couldn't find someone right then so I decided to try fixing it myself).
So instead of:

I trust DDG not to track me.

it's:

I trust Private.sh to not give Gigablast my IP to track me.

Eh, it's a little murky. I was playing with dart a little. It can in fact create a single binary, but it looks like it's just putting the interpreter with the code.

I say that because if you strip or pack the binary, instead of working it shows the output of running dart with no arguments.
The standard deduction is pretty high these days. I'll probably be back to not itemizing next year but my taxes are certainly not simple.

> For instance, Hertz is going through Chapter 11, but you'd never know as a customer.

For most cases yes. I don't know the exposure risk of Hertz in this regard, but in a Chapter 11 it's worth remembering that any people who are legally owed money (i.e. unpaid lawsuits) are counted as 'creditors', I think based on how the GM/Chrysler bankruptcies played out, 'unsecured' ones at that.

That's about what those franchise tax prep companies charge (Liberty Tax, Jackson Hewitt, etc).

I found out my parents used one of these places last year, and they charged them about $350 for a SIMPLE tax return. It looked like the goal was to charge about $50 less than the eventual refund, and also push the "get your refund right now!!" scam (i.e. take a high interest loan for the refund amount).

This year, I did their taxes and mine too (separately), using FreeTaxUSA.
I discussed this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26332553

I agree with you. We should take advantage of existing historical context such as the floppy save icon. This is what the Fam Fam Fam icon set does. The main issue is not to redesign them, but to design them in such a way that it is recognizeable. You can design floppy disk in many ways to fit your design aesthetic. Just that it should not be confused with 10 other icons. If you use monochrome line graphics, its hard to tell instantly.

I use an ad blocker and DDG, but I still see ads when I search for something. The ads appear like Google search ads, but clearly labeled, so I doubt my ad blocker is going to be able to detect them without a feature to specifically target DDG.

I don't have a problem with those ads, since they're not overly intrusive, they're clearly labeled, and they're not targeted to me based on my personal information. Plus, DDG actually gives me the option to disable ads completely.

That's what "don't be evil" should look like.

I don't know what a globally averaged monetary policy will look like (or who it'll benefit the most), but I can say that for any population currently living with a monetary policy below the average (i.e. because of corruption or stupidity), it'll be an improvement and they will adopt a denationalized currency to get it.
