What's wrong with that? If they are giving you 500+$ worth of stuff for you to sign on to a contract, I'm sure they are going to protect themselves from people just signing on to get free stuff and immediately canceling.

If you sign a 2-3 year contract and want to break it before it ends, there will always be some kind of penalty.

Everything I've seen so far today could also be summarized as "Discord chose on their own to interpret the published App Store rules without seeking comment from Apple", which would be quite a different story from the one that's popularly assumed. I wish that I could find a missing piece of evidence to contradict or confirm that. So, then:

Has Discord confirmed that they discussed their intentions with Apple prior to publishing these changes?

(If they did not, then that opens the door for many more uncomfortable questions for Discord.)
Though their intentions are probably noble, I get a niggling feeling when I hear this.

To me the FBI's behavior is the equivalent of "Since there have been several break-ins in our district and our local police dept. has determined that the internal door locks of business offices in our district are faulty, so we have broken into each business, and fixed the locks ourselves, we have attempted to trace you and notify you if you have publicly available contact info". Noble, yet still chilling.

The addLevel() function seems especially interesting. It takes an array as input to generate the level, with each index being another row of the level. Here is the level from the linked platformer example.....

Isn't this how it is with a lot of things? The government can tax people. If I tried to tax people, that would be illegal coercion.
My understanding (which is admittedly very little) though is that homomorphic encryption requires many times more computations compared to running on unencrypted data, so that could dampen it's usefulness.
Indeed, DRY is overrated, especially for trivial things like string constants.

I'm shocked Realator's even exist today. That shock is 10 fold for what they financially make too. I imagine a few percent of the cheerleaders/pretty boys make a lions share though?

Eight courses, and a easy test, and you are set to go. Two years experience under a Broker (CA law) was passed a few years. (The experience bill was heavily lobbied by Realator's lobby, and sadily--Gov. Brown signed it. During the hearing 1 example of inexperience was noted as the reason for the change in requirements. A four year degree was all that was required before Realtor's got their mitts on a bill.

The result has been less competition among brokers, while their job has gotten easier. Easier in terms of digital hone showings, and all their other tech being thrown at them.

The biggest schmoozer, or cheerleader, are usually the only one's making a very comfortable living?

I never thought I would say this, but I'm waiting for the profession to be gone.

there is the possibility with lots of problems that there are no solutions that will work, as you point out that does not mean one should not continue to try.

The analogy might be that there is no solution to the problem of the mortality, but there are quite a few ways you can work to keep from dying of a heart attack in your 40s.
You can toggle the "network.security.esni.enabled" setting in about config. However, turning off SNI will cause any server that is hosting multiple websites to just break. So you can't really just shut SNI off sadly.

"Right now Twitter trending topics are specifically designed as part of the big outrage machine. Many of those topics are obviously written by professional outrage activists."

Do you have proof for this? What distinguishes the writing of a professional outrage activist vs. an amateur outrage activist? What's the difference between an activist and an outrage activist? I hope it isn't whether you agree with that particular bit of outrage or not.

Without proof of your claims, is your comment outrage about alleged outrage?

As you say, sars-cov2 viruses come with all sorts of epitopes that could conceivably generate immune responses, and the sense I get is that with real infections, there's an element of chance as to which ones generate responses, and they're also not all created equal in terms of which ones tend to be conserved vs. vary a lot among strains. The choice of the spike protein for the vaccine was specifically to generate responses to epitopes that are thought to be highly conserved (though not perfectly, given e.g. B1351), whereas with natural infection you might generate a response that successfully clears your current infection but might be less protective against the next version you encounter.

(Though at 84%, maybe that effect is weaker than some speculated it might be?)
An N=1 study is a study.
Food/clothes/tools became cheaper over the past 100 years as economies of scale were built, but they were much cheaper 10-15 years ago when you compare price to purchasing power of income. This is a somewhat recent trend we're talking about (last ~25 years or so).

I think inflation is rising a lot faster than you think. They don't admit there's actual inflation until it's already been here for a while.

> We live in a democracy so we can make rules that balances power

Not true and never has been. This is a pipe dream for suckers. The golden rule is that those with the gold make the rules.

> inequality of power vs inequality of money

Money buys power (lobbyists, legal bribes, media access, etc), so these are basically the same thing if someone with lots of money is interested in spending it on obtaining power.

BTC to XMR, sure. But XMR to BTC is the value proposition -- if you've made a fortune doing something illegal, you'll want to have access to the BTC market somehow.

Right now, you can probably do that without being sent to prison. It's a matter of using one of the many conversion websites to go from XMR to BTC, then depositing to your exchange and selling it. (I don't know how you'd explain it on a tax form, but maybe you can think of something clever.)

But if exchanges start actively cracking down on any account that deposits BTC in response to XMR transactions (i.e. the exchange maintains a known list of wallets used by those conversion websites), they can start putting accounts on hold if those accounts have received large quantities of BTC from any of those XMR-related BTC wallets.
Wish they'd just say they don't want to do it than trot out a pompous question-begging rationale.

Every time something like this happens people seem to be shocked and surprised, but his happens day in day out with every single large entity (companies, government, criminal gangs) as long as they large enough and have enough power to get away with whatever they are doing.

If Apple can make 1-2M/yr from a scam and lawyers tied all loose ends they will have no problem doing that. Worst case will push some press release statement blaming third party and that will be it.
Yubikeys that can do gpg are $40 or so and have lots of other uses.

Iirc, ssh can now do file encryption with FIDO2 keys; these are $10 or so.

Definitely worth buying a pair if you are worried about security (both Trojans, where local encryption at rest can be defeated, and losing your device where it is not)
On the other hand, I've seen lots of things said on Twitter (and other social networks) that I've just never seen people say in in-person interactions

People will use any medium to express things they won't express in in-person interactions.

I've seen things written on bathroom stall walls that I've never seen people say in in-person interactions. Is that a problem with bathroom walls?

It's not the medium that's the problem. If there is indeed a problem then it's a matter of reach and not the medium.
This is correct. Pass can only copy it in the paste buffer for 45s.

But lower resolution than a 4k 16:9 display (and no oled). So the question is why to prefer lower res 16:10 (lower in both directions) to 16:9? You just have strictly more screen, which seems better.
This is somewhat disingenuous. IE was trying to strong arm web standards in much the way that chrome does today. Just back then, few folks would have it from ms. That said, div, span, xmlhttprequest... All of those came from ie, if I am not mistaken.

Now, I confess I have grown to not like divs and spans. That said, I am very amenable to "border-box", which is kind of hilarious in historical context.

I also remember IE actually supported fieldset and legend in sane ways well before netscape. Which was very annoying.

Actually, my memory is essentially that the IE team was doing decent work. The Netscape team was faltering. Only reason folks didn't like the IE team is the rest of MS was acting in very bad faith with clear embrace and extinguish as a goal for the browser market. Which ultimately left Opera as the biggest loser who otherwise had an amazing product.

Most of your comment is okay but the last line in your comment seems to making a slight allegation that LBRY did something fraudulent which is not what happened nor is being accused here by the SEC. Nor is this a recent development. SEC has been harassing LBRY since May of 2018 and they have spent over a million in legal fees so far.

If this harassment continues, how any startup will be able to continue fighting bigger fish like YouTube, FB etc is beyond me.

Absolutely. I think (hope) that what PG meant in that essay is that the rich people today get there by displaying more "sportsmanship" than 200 years ago. And I generally agree with that. And I think if you compare Bezos and Musk with whoever would rank similarly to them on Forbes list in 1821, you would agree too. But it absolutely does not mean that anyone can get there.

The fact that Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt have won so many medals without (hopefully) juicing or bribing officials is great, and maybe even a cause for celebration for the human race, but it absolutely does not mean that anyone can do those things.
How is that different from mining ETH, which is basically running others' programs (smart contracts) in exchange for ETH.
The abstract mentions women self-assess more accurately than men. As a man and thinking about my own mindset with self assessment, I wonder if the definition of “self-assessment” itself might differ between men and women on average. For myself, if you ask me to do a task in a discipline I know little about, I might assess myself as being capable of doing so even without the prior experience, because I figure “I can figure it out reasonably well on the fly”.

This is a convoluted way of saying men may just be overconfident, but importantly not because we assume we k ow everything, but because we are more confident we can learn it even if we don’t know it.

Maybe me writing all this while self-assessing myself is yet more male self-assessment hubris...
I think it is reasonable to conclude they were referring to the bulk of the law that is administrative/procedural/etc. There are 53 titles of US code, and one of those (title 18) is about criminal code. The rest are predominately not matters of morality.

Most things that are legal aren't outlined in the law anyway, they're omitted.
In terms of protocols, not specific coins, privacy is clearly technically viable.
Take Zcash: for its underlying protocol, known as sapling, the performance issues went away. It's about 2.5 seconds to make a fully private transaction on a pixel 3 and you could get it down to 1 second with some optimizations to the underlying circuit. As a coin, Zcash still has privacy adoption problems, but the roots of that aren't some fundamental technical issue: Zcash isn't focusing on usability, leading to the usage problems. That may change.

Also, there are a number of projects coming on line using the same privacy tech. Good privacy is feasible, we have the technical protocols. But product-market-fit niche isn't entirely there yet: the problem is few people grasp then need for on chain privacy yet.

Bank transfers in the US are about to become much better once banks implement FedNow (scheduled to launch in 2023)[1]. You'll have to you use your bank's app but it should be possible to send PayPal/Venmo/CashApp-style payments without having to involve third parties in the transaction so all these payment apps and payment features in chat apps are running on borrowed time (unless they can offer some kind of value-add to justify themselves).

Interesting article, thanks.

Author doesn't mention rainfall impact at all - but my understanding is if AMOC shuts down completely (highly unlikely) UK's arable land drops significantly, because of the reduction in predicted rainfall.

Author also sounds a bit hand-wavey with the claim that '50% of heat comes from east-ward wind patterns, the other 50% comes from stationary waves of atmospheric flow'.

I guess it's feasible that the gulfstream provides zero warmth to the air above it as it flows north and around the UK, but this is a challenging claim.

It's odd the author didn't put in any estimates on temperature change from AMOC shutdown -- elsewhere I'm seeing an expected average delta in the south of perhaps 1 or 2 C, and in the north of Scotland, up to 4C.

I found author's actual paper [1] but that doesn't mention rainfall either, and I can't find any estimated ranges on temperature impacts for the UK.

I’m not sure if the things I’m pointing out support your theory or not.

It's not a theory. It's a comment on a public forum, not a PhD thesis.

I've had some pertinent classes, like Intro to Psychology, Social Psychology, and Negotiation and Conflict Management. In my youth, I spent about 3.5 years in therapy to sort out baggage from childhood trauma. I've journaled and blogged for a lot of years, so introspection and trying to figure out what makes me tick is a longstanding habit.

I raised two special-needs sons who don't intuitively understand social stuff, so trying to explain things to them really helped hone my understanding of some things. I had to up my game by quite a lot to help them get a meaningful and useful understanding of social phenomenon.

Social phenomenon are inherently hard to find good information about. Studies tend to be really bad. People who know they are participating in a study almost by definition don't behave like the do "normally."

I continue to talk with my sons about social phenomenon because it remains an ongoing area of interest. My sons and I talk fairly often about what constitutes a good source of social insight and what doesn't. I comment about it sometimes on HN because I hang here and sometimes people find my comments of value.

It's my opinion. My opinions on such topics seem to generally be on more solid footing than average. They usually aren't, per se, backed up by some kind of scientific study, though they are generally informed by gathering solid tidbits of useful info over the years.

If you don't agree with it, it's totes fine.
It's definitely that way with a lot of things, but it can still be super frustrating for anyone who would prefer to use their knowledge for good, but due to scar tissue, we know we can't. Scar tissue being both the laws as understandable and justifiable reactions to misuse by those with less admirable intentions, and from seeing the laws used to unjustly prosecute people trying to do the right thing in the face of authority who won't listen, and assuming wrongly that all they need is a demo to help them understand the severity of the problem.
When the US government declares you a problem and is serious about it you're many things, but winning is probably not one of them.

It's pretty trivial to make Bitcoin virtually useless. Pass some laws that effectively render it useless to corporate entities and it's basically banished to the shadow realm. Won't stop criminals from using it, but you can regulate crypto to hell for 99% of the population.

Though even still, the same-origin policy isn’t strict enough to prevent CSRF. For example, your browser will still send POSTs with Content Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded cross-origin, with cookies, even if it doesn’t let you read the response. That’s why we have to add complexity with anti-forgery tokens :/

It’ll be great when you can simply count on browsers having implemented strict SameSite cookies, because that’s such a simple, elegant solution. Anti-forgery tokens are a bit of a hack.
