The feature accretion and default layout redesigns have increasingly become a headache, but Mail.app still seems like the spiritual successor to Eudora, which may have remained the most popular desktop e-mail GUI if Microsoft hadn't leveraged their monopoly in the business workstation and LAN markets to push the adoption of Outlook. I use mutt for personal e-mail, but prefer Mail.app for work.

About a decade ago BATS tried to IPO on their own exchange and failed pretty spectacularly. Coinbase probably doesn't want to "fail fast" with their IPO when there are billions on the line.
Point being, we've focused vaccination on the most susceptible groups. Vaccinating even 15% of the total population means we've probably vaccinated ~90% of people aged 75+ (with that number being limited by health conditions that contraindicate vaccination).
> you are trying to maximize for security with it, which is generally in opposition to freedom.

So you're saying that employees who don't dare leave the corporate job because they really depend on the company's healthcare plan are more free. Cool.

> medical bankruptcy ... was nonsense too. I think you're just trying to shoehorn zingers

Great zinger yourself, bro.

You're welcome to equate a growing precariat who are vulnerable to exploitation as "Freedom", but don't expect that opinion to be universal.
It's not a coincidence that a number of New Deal programs were focused on meeting the basic needs of kids (e.g. school lunches and the CCC) and the elderly (e.g. Social Security and Medicare).
> And I understand the ‘65-‘68 theory, probably the most compelling of the theories; but I just don’t think it holds much water beyond the hopeful ambition of the time,

The description of a post-1968 political realignment has nothing to do with “hopeful ambition”; that racists were disillusioned by Johnson’s action is well-established fact (as it is they had been by Truman’s 20 years before), that the Republicans exploited this disillusionment, preventing it from resolving as the Dixiecrat split did is well-established fact. That the same institutions (and, until they died) that had supported, or been Democrats, advocating against racial equality, racial integration, or against federal action on those fronts under thr banner of “states rights”, largely switched to the Republican Party if they didn’t recant is also well-established fact.

> the countervailing evidence in the years since.

What countervailing evidence? The Democratic support by and for overt white supremacist rallies? The crowds backing a Democratic Partt waving confederate battle flags that stormed the Capitol?

The best April Fools jokes are the ones with enough plausibility that they _could_ be real.
The graphic in the article is telling. While the coronavirus is shocking in the severity with which the lack of response has impoverished people, it is only a 1.5x worsening of the situation! This tells a story of longstanding institutional neglect that allows millions to remain in a state of impoverishment indefinitely.

Moreover, the chart shows that food distribution was growing prior to the pandemic, which could mean the problem was worsening (or more locations appeared, or more food was distributed per capita).
I would assume that eventually the cost of "old storage" will be too much and new payments wouldn't be able to subsidize it anymore (sort of like a failing Ponzi scheme) but to be fair I haven't heard of this. Thanks for the link!
Should we go ahead and make a SSCT (solar system coordinated time) as well?

That way I don't have to constantly be converting lunar timestamps, mars timestamps, etc. back to UTC (or the coordinated time of whichever celestial body I'm currently on) in order to paint a timeline of when events happened between my different devices spread out across the solar system.

Sorry, I didn't intend to sound condescending, though I see how I did. I was responding to your "I do not follow...".

I suspect mining expenditure would still be mostly spent on energy usage, not finding more efficient hardware/algorithms, since mining is an arms race -- when miner A finds a more efficient algorithm, it's only a matter of time before miner B finds it too, and then they're back on level ground competing over energy.

But even if this is not the case, I don't particularly care whether the mining expenditure is spent on energy, or developing and manufacturing new mining hardware, or sacrificing goats to a hash-finding deity. Since the amount of mining the network does is set by a price tag (the block reward), and its intent is to make 51%ing prohibitively costly, by definition it must use up some valuable resource. Whether that's energy or human ingenuity or semiconductor production is just an implementation detail but it'll always be a waste.

If Bitcoin switches away from proof of work, I'll stop criticizing it for the inefficiency of proof of work.

It's not fast, but, move to Myanmar, join the military, rise up the ranks, start an off-hand discussion to the tune of "you know, when you really think about, running a country is a lot of work..." and make them think it was their idea to call the whole thing off.
There have been a bunch of studies that have come out, with a range of quality in case selection methodology eg. biased sampling, so its still early days. I've seen estimates ranging from 2% - 33% for effects up to 7 months after infection for mild-moderate symptomatic cases. But generally, it seems quite a serious issue.

Ah yes, you are right. Looks like it's scriptable as well. This looks pretty great then, especially having it baked into the installation image.
I agree, a better route would probably be exposing the archive via IPFS. I wonder if they could split the archive like this:

- Sites are archived to IPFS.

- The URL -> Archive mapping is published in a merkle dag.

This way people can help mirror the archive (or subsets of it) by replicating the IPFS archive. You can also separately mirror the merkle dag which would be relatively small. If sites are fairly predictable you could even crawl it yourself and verify that it matches the data that archive.org reported (although there are probably many sites that change on every request so the hash won't match exactly, but you could at least do some analysis/manual inspection on the diffs to check that archive.org appears to be reporting correct data).

I don't think it's a stretch to argue that Christianity is imperialistic, and by extension Christian missionaries are de facto agents of imperialism. However, I think it's a stretch to argue that Perl is imperialistic. :)

It's fascinating to learn that Larry Wall might have become a missionary had his life gone a different direction, but I don't think one can make a compelling case that Wall's religiosity had a major effect on Perl's language design. Don Knuth is a devout Lutheran who played church organ, taught Sunday school, and wrote a book about the Bible -- but it just doesn't seem likely we should be concerned that typesetting our work with TeX subtly infuses it with Christian apologia.

If their symptoms are psychosomatic, but the vaccine cures those symptoms through the placebo effect, then what's the problem? They were genuinely suffering, and now they're not: the vaccine cured their long covid.
By May, not really. Assuming by mid-May 50% of people are vaccinated and some more have had natural immunity the total immunity rate is likely to be around 70%, and much of the remainder is children and young teens. At that point you could do nothing and not worry much. Especially when the only excuse for being old or at risk and not being immune is your own anti-vax tendencies, not a realistic supply limitation.
Well you all heard the challenge. Who has got idle GPUs sitting around? Let's find the smallest base 10 widely digitally delicate prime!

Newtonian momentum is not conserved in Special Relativity. That is, momentum is conserved, but momentum is redefined - it's not just mass times velocity any longer. The new definition is more correct than the previous one.

Had this worked, it probably wouldn't have overturned conservation of momentum either. It might have redefined momentum again, though.

What's the mechanism for damage?

What's being damaged and why is it worse during startup/stopping?
Two important advantages Filecoin has over bunglemudgeons are:

1. Filecoin has a market with liquidity. Archive.org could sell their coins for roughly $9.7m.

2. Filecoin can currently be used to purchase reliable cloud storage at a significantly lower cost than AWS or GCP.

I can definitely relate to cynicism towards crypto/blockchain, particularly in the defi sector, but Filecoin is doing good work.

Even without computers, we've selected for intelligence in animals simply through breeding.

Suppose there were a group of monks dedicated to achieving high intellect. One could imagine that they form a pact for many generations that only the most intelligent among them will have children. It's hard to imagine that this wouldn't result in intelligence increases.
Interesting how, until around 5 or so years ago, the definition of the word "troll" was someone who deliberately posted content to get a reaction out of others.

Now it mainly refers to people that say mean things or have different opinions than you do.

I do hope too, and it seems so to me. At least the product seems real, they're sending updates on the board etc. they're building. And their previous products are real ones, with users right here on this thread.

Also, the overall design changed a bit since those pictures were made. They had some issue with the processor not being available anymore iirc, and they made some changes. Changes including a significantly smaller battery, and we all complained about it so they went back to the original battery _but_ with a thicker phone.

I still have some doubts. I have a blackberry keyone that I loved but that is half broken since a bike accident so I have to replace it. And a linux phone (with multi boot to android in case linux isn't up to the task for a phone, which I doubt a little) seemed like a good replacement. But portrait keyboard, and blackberry's keyboard quality might be a lot better than this solution.. I wish they didn't stop making blackberry (on android) phones after keytwo =/

> Java has had tools to deal with nulls for a long time, we tend to assume everything is non-null unless annotated with `@Nullable` and let tools check correct usage at compile time...

Oh yeah, nothing like creating Frankenstein's monster instead of using a tool that was designed for the purpose. And no, it's not the same. You'll never beat Kotlin compiler , no matter how many annotation you use - you will always miss something.

> data classes are very similar to Java 16's records.

You mean Java 16's records are similar to data classes, since those were first.

> Type-inference since Java introduced `var` is pretty much on-par with Kotlin.

Not even close. Can't use it outside of functions, clunky final var instead of val.

> Some people have already started talking seriously about Kotlin now just adding friction, as you need to keep updating its version and the Gradle plugin (which is not compatible with some versions of Gradle if you're stuck with some old Gradle plugins).

My favorite kind of people. 'Some'.

> Java 17 should probably stabilize sealed classes, which is one of the biggest advantages of Kotlin at the moment...

Nice!

Let's wait until you'll upgrade to Java 17 while Kotlin has everything already and much more with compilation to JS and native in the future.

There was a time when would have loved to buy Coinbase stock.

Just a few years ago, they were by far the easiest was to buy crypto (IMO). At that time they also felt like the most legitimate site and for people who didn't 100% know what they were doing, but wanted to buy some Bitcoin, that perception of legitimacy is important. For those reasons, I feel like they kind of dominated the casual coin holder space, and I think they could justify the fees they were charging.

In the last year or so it feels like that's all changed. Because of things like Apex Crypto, it feels like pretty much every stock broker app will now let you buy Bitcoin and they'll do it with lower fees than Coinbase. It seems like their market (non-crypto people looking to buy crypto) is being eaten alive. I don't understand their value prop or why their higher fees make sense anymore.

I've been burned too many times, so I don't short stocks or buy puts, but I just can't see this being a good buy. Unless they drastically lower their fees, I just don't see them continuing to grow users.
Indeed. The least one I added from HN comments was "Tsundoku."
> I'm having a hard time seeing how the blanket ban was wrong in any way.

Before this decision, the federal government did not have the "right" to compel a property owner what (not) to do with his land. The framers of the Consitution were pretty clear about states' rights, and limits of federal power. Prior to this decision, a reasonable reader of the Constitution and case law would have concluded "yea, the federal gov't cannot compel the property owner in this way".

The (court decision) and ban is wrong because A) it's essentially a Constitutional rewrite without the amendment process and B) the Federal gov't does not have the moral authority to mandate how a property owner interacts with his own property. The intent from the 1790 text is pretty clear about the hierarchy of individual rights > state rights > federal rights.

To be clear: I'm not arguing against federal regulation of interstate commerce. The Constitution defined that as "commerce [...] between the states". There needed to be an Amendment to formally redefine (or clarify) that section. There was no Amendment process for this expansion of gov't power.
I was in a part-time Lambda School cohort caught in the middle of the significant changes made at the end of 2020.

It very much felt like a bait-and-switch.

The experience prior to the changes was what I paid for.

The experience after the changes wasn’t what I paid for.

Lambda School’s pivot in this instance was way too big, way too fast, and way too poorly planned/executed.

My experience went from having excellent Team Leaders(TLs) who graded my work, compulsory attendance, excellent Build Week TL and team members to an involuntary Mentor who ghosted me, a Track Team that never attended meetings, a Build Week with zero support, no attendance verification, no grading, and no response from Lambda School after consistent and repeated requests for support.

It was a shocking difference in experience before/after.

I get that Lambda School isn’t a bank, insurance company, hospital, or traditional school/university where massive risk results in massive risk aversion.

But it’s no longer a “move fast, break things” MVP either.

I went from being a strong vocal advocate for Lambda School to seriously questioning its business model.

I do sincerely hope Lambda School’s program evolves in a positive direction for student outcomes.

But in my experience and opinion, the Lambda School value proposition has taken a significant hit.

I’m currently awaiting refund.

Your questions would need to be answered by scientific medical research... which hasn't been done.

The "strong urge not to compare any of them" is good because there isn't a good basis for doing sound comparisons.

Also, even if you somehow knew, for example, that Pfizer was X% more effective or X% safer for you than J&J, but J&J was available now while Pfizer would be available in 4 weeks, you would still need to add the risk of four additional weeks of unprotected exposure to the equation for Pfizer to understand the relative risks.

Putting it together:
(A) there isn't a sound way to compare the relative efficacy of J&J, Pfizer, and Moderna (especially on an individual basis)
(B) waiting will increase your risk of serious problems from covid
means "whichever one is available to you" is the right answer (not an "infantile" one -- careful there; you're throwing around a pejoritive, but I'm pretty sure you're the one who has a superficial grasp of the situation.)

As more data is collected it may be possible to break things down, e.g., by age group or region (if a particular variant is dominant in a region a particular vaccine is especially effective against that variant), but we'll have to see.
