Related: my mind was blown when I realize how easy it is to fall down to Earth (well, Kerbin) if you're in high enough orbit. I've had cases where my orbital velocity was on the order of 200 m/s, which means that at apoapsis you can just fart, and have the satellite crash into the ground a day later.

(I've also had my fair share of high-orbit missions where in the middle of the launch I realized I'm aiming for a prograde orbit, where the contract specified retrograde. Instead of reloading game from launchpad, I just carried on, put my apoapsis at target altitude, and once reaching it, burned off couple hundred m/s of Δv to reverse the orbit's direction.)
Those things seem more related to smartphones than smart watches.

I see. What about a huge orbiting ball of butter* with thrusters that just slowly changes its orbit and sweeps all the trash by getting the trash embedded in itself?

Except people who want to use ETH as a currency, rather than an asset. If we're going to have inflation or deflation, pick inflation; that way, you can actually spend the stuff without FOMO.
It's clearly in NP. One way to solve it is to order the squares in some order and combine all the NFAs in some nasty wreath product construction. Then we seek an accepting string. While this has an exponential state size blowup you may be able to construct lazily in the BFS and perhaps that keeps the complexity down.
And it took an enormous amount of effort to get rock music into and distributed within the Soviet Union. It was produced through the systems of a leading power with organizations that would be illegal locally. I don't see how that changes that the counter culture goes against the general flow until it manages to become it.
Sometimes when you're the odd man out, it's because you're the asshole.

The Hacker News crew tends to be a little tender about that being the case, because it's been the case so often for them.

I know you agree from how you worded that, you're sensitive about someone saying "don't use it if you don't like it, and maybe you're the problem, so I might ask myself that if it came down to it."

But yeah, obviously everyone is against these people, and they're being held down by the weight of the man.

Fair enough, I work in small teams and independently a lot. It does make sense you need some strict architecture / tooling to prevent it in a more distributed org.

This is one of those things that gives me the feeling the true "10x" engineer mostly just writes code to some reasonable architecture standard and does their best to avoid tech debt. Speed in the longer term means avoiding these situations if you ask me
The point of Ethereum is not really to be a distributed computer. It also seems misleading to describe it that way, as it doesn't distribute computations. Every node computes the same thing.

FLACs are better than CD quality.

CDs in a player always have errors. The errors are covered up by a couple of stages of error correction. One is a transparent CRC, the other drops the effective bit depth down to 12 or so bits.

The Block Error Rate (BLER) on CDs can be surprisingly high. So a CD in a player is always slightly compromised.

When you rip a CD with a good ripper the drive does multiple passes over problem areas until the results are consistent. The final file is bit perfect, except on very damaged CDs.

Returning and column deletes are a big deal. This will make me return back to SQLite.

One other huge issue is that sqllite doesn’t enforce schema. You can say that a column is an int but it will happily insert strings. That is a huge minefield.

I want SQLite but with strict enforced scheme that errors when it encounters an incorrect type.

The product is most certainly manufactured. But the culture's response to it is not. The fandom has their own language, their own in-jokes, and will rally together for the causes they find important. They've created something real for themselves. "Counter-culture" may or may not be the right term for what they've made, but it is something independent of the corporations that own the music.

That's a distinction that should be noted because you can see it everywhere. For example: the MCU, Star Wars, and Star Trek are all corporate products produced for a mass audience. But the fandom is independent of that control. The number of good jokes, fan theories, and fan art I've seen for WandaVision has been immense. And the impact of the Star Wars & Star Trek fandoms is also enormous on the culture at large. That's something Disney or Paramount can possibly influence but never hope to control.

Yeah that'd probably be the best of all.
They are right. The root cause for polarization is wealth inequality which is caused by government fiat money printing; of which Facebook happens to be a major beneficiary. Facebook is therefore only a beneficiary of the problem and not the root cause.

Wealth inequality leads to inequality of opportunities which causes inconsistent experiences of the same economic system and causes polarization. One side's experience is characterized by constant struggle with repeated and almost inescapable failure (obvious glass ceilings everywhere)... The other side's experience is characterized by repeated success with little effort required and so they think that people on the other side must be extremely lazy or stupid.
In many countries, the concept of the hospital is also different from what it is in the US.

I don't think it was visionary. Ever since, blockchain has struggled to find a real-world use case. We know how blockchain works, the concept is thousands of years old. This problem existed in the past (coordinating in an environment where no one trusts anyone). However if this was a real problem in the real world, companies would have built blockchains long ago.

This is rather survivor bias. Apparently blockchain found some straws to hold on to. It could have been one of those millions go-nowhere projects just as likely.

I think there are legit use cases for it, but ultimately, we are still far from mass adoption and without the crazy monetary gains, I don't even believe anyone would talk about blockchain these days. Technology wise, it's not a strong value proposition. We can do pretty much everything without blockchain. Yeah there are some cases where trustlessness helps, but once this problem would become serious enough, it's not hard to build blockchain technology. It basically follows directly from basic principles defined by the problem. And the fact that everyone "thinks blockchain is new", already proves that the problem actually doesn't really exist.
Fair point... The real core issue might be a simple one. All current power structures have great fear over any kind of real end to end encryption and would never allow it to happen. So if there ever is a weakness, like the keyboard example, it will likely be exploited to the fullest extent.

The US healthcare system is just a completely broken mess. When things go smooth, you are lucky! However, when you have a major procedure, life event or sickness things can get messy quick.

We had a child 10 months ago, billing was screwed up by the hospital, then by insurance and we are still in process of getting it resolved. I have now spent at least 8 hours on the phone.

I had a surgery, called insurance and verified it was pre-approved and in-network. After procedure I receive $22k bill. I was young and did not care about my credit back then and never paid. 5 years later I received a new bill, for $300 as the provider sued the insurance company.

I hate going to the hospital and AWAITING a shower of bills. This grinds my gears SO hard. Every hospital stay and bills just keep coming for a few months.

As someone who likes to budget and plant expenses, I just cannot stand the US medical system. I never know how much a simple wart removal my cost. $100 or $2000? I'm happy to have good insurance, don't require to use the medical system a lot and have enough money. However, if you are extremely ill you seriously need to move to a "FIRST" world nation or have a good insurance with low max out of pocket. However, you still are going to deal with bills like its your full time job.
Isn't the point of a password manager that you only have to remember one password? If you put it in another password manager, then you have to remember that password instead, so have you really improved the situation?

Plus it just adds extra, unnecessary attack vectors since there are now two attackable points of authentication for your first password manager and three attackable points for any accounts managed by that password manager.
The bigger the chip, the more complex its instruction set. That makes it an 'elephant' to learn.

How do you eat an elephant? One mouthful at a time.

On the other hand, what is/are your goal CPU(s)?

If you're looking at the Intel/AMD family of CPUs, I'd start with the one that began the family, the 8080. That's small and simple enough, and you have a complete ecosystem of 8080 development with editors, compilers, linkers, etc. on CP/M emulators. Also the 8080 (and its bigger brother, the Z80) is small enough and simple enough to get all of the instruction-types (register operations, jumps both absolute and conditional, bit rotation, AND, OR, NOT, XOR logical operations, status flags, interrupts, etc, etc) under your belt.

There is a whole universe of 8080/Z80 software sources out there on the Web for you to analyse and reconfigure and rewrite.

The later Intel chips become more and more complex but basically used the same sort of operations in different ways. You get into stuff like memory management, multi-cores, multi-user, instruction-read-ahead, etc. that would confuse greatly somebody starting out. Best leave that gear for later.

But if you are looking at working on RISC CPUs instead, you could look at RISC-V which has several emulators for you to play with while learning the basics. It's also at a stage where you could possibly 'get in on the ground floor'.

RISC is a different mindset, less varied instructions in your usable set, so you just use more of them in different ways. Very offbeat analogy: Your car can't turn left, so you make it turn right 3 times.
ATRAC is not devoid of compression. It's a lossy format which uses a crude form of spectral encoding - a bit like an MP3, but the model is less sophisticated.

Your GP comment was already against the site guidelines (note this one: "Please don't fulminate."), but posting like you did here will get you banned on HN, so please don't do that again.

The direct answer is too complex to argue in a HN thread. "More healthcare" is a trade off. At some point real resources have to be taken from somewhere and put into healthcare. There is no limit to how many resources can be put into healthcare, so more healthcare means less of something else.

The premise of the question is that more=better, without acknowledging more=less of something else. The argument over what gets given up is exactly the political process, and that isn't going to be fun to rehash. People throw out "what if we trade off [thing I don't like]" and the whole argument becomes divorced from what will actually happen in the actual policy implementation.

The more productive response is to lay out the viewpoint, without delving in to the theoretical justifications. The view is pithy and might help a few people understand what the thinking is.
Your argument is equally absurd. Should we stop selling screwdrivers as well because they might be used to stab someone? The practical uses for such a tool far outweigh the dangers it presents to society.

Do you treat the developers of FTP, SCP, Samba, NFS, Firefox Send, or Dropbox this way?

Root cause? No. There are many reasons.

Gas on the fire? Sure seems like it from all the studies that have been done in the last few years.
I think it's genuinely ridiculous; academics working on really important topics for the current age, from society, to legal theory, to anthropology, to novel engineering are gatekept by publishers. I've wanted to read the full text to a paper I thought I will gain a lot from, something I can cite in an argument, something to enrich me and make me think. I can't do that, because I don't have access to the paper/book/whatever. At best, I have access to an inconvenient quarter of it on Google Books. I can't buy it for less than 60 euros, sometimes much more.

I genuinely think that the fact academic work is hidden inside ridiculously expensive books and publisher paywalls is a reason why some people have given up on trying to change the world. They literally can't afford access to the tools that will support them or they can argue against.

The independent researcher is at best five years behind current theories, and at worst dead.

> Vitalik going from POW to POS is nonsense

Being able to change for the better is not nonsense, it's vital to the survival and stability of a coin. The #1 complaint about Bitcoin (especially on HN) is its excessive use of power. Moving to POS solves this problem. Moving to POS allows ETH to scale transaction processing where BTC cannot.

Miners are obviously angry because they spent millions (probably billions) on GPUs in warehouses to mine ETH, and this is threatening their profits. They're not the significant party when it comes to talking about ETH though. The users and larger ecosystem make up the significant parties.

POS will happen. ETH 2.0 will happen. This is why ETH is better than BTC -- it has a leader like Vitalik who is open to changes and knows how to lead implementation. If miners want to throw a tantrum in the process, so be it. We'll just leave them behind.
> Well there was just an attempt by the ex president to overturn the results of an election and install himself

Just as there was an attempt by a presidential candidate to overturn the results of an election and install himself in 2000. And many times before. Challenging election results is not something unusual, it happens all the time. And will undoubtedly happen again. There's nothing "fascist" in using free speech and court system to try and prove there were election fraud (or miscount, or whatever the next candidate could think of). That's why we have the court system, so they have their chance to prove their case.

> Maybe that’s what they meant by “fascist form of government”?

Except nobody tried to change the form of government. So either we already have the fascist form of government right now, or trying to prove, using existing form of government, that you were - by existing laws - the rightfully elected candidate - can not be seen as advocating "fascist form of government".

I run SQLite in serverless environments (Cloud Run, Vercel, Heroku) for dozens of projects... but the trick is that they all treat the database as a read-only asset.

If I want to deploy updated data, I build a brand new image and deploy the application bundled with the data. I tend to run the deploys for these (including the database build) in GitHub Actions workflows.

This works really well, but only for applications that don't need to apply updates more than a few times an hour! If you have a constant stream of updates I still think you're better off using a hosted database like Heroku PostgreSQL or Google Cloud SQL.

One example of a site I deploy like that is https://datasette.io/ - it's built and deployed by this GitHub Actions workflow here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/blob/main/.github/wor...
