Is TSMC a global Fab monopoly or am I crazy?
When you consider what happened during covid-19, we had a major shutoff of resources from china and every east asian country from the USA. If we ever had/have any conflict with our MEGA Big friendly neighbors to the east, we could run into issues where major tech products are no longer able to safely use TSMC due to conflict. Isn't this kind of a huge concern? I just thought it's worth starting a conversation about. Below are just a few links to articles which talk about how integrated apple, nvidia, amd, and to some extent intel are with their CPU's & GPU's. It seems like a major supply chain bottleneck.

1 company with 4 mega silicon companies using them to manufacture their primary core chips.

Where is the diversification?

My claims are true, Sweden has significantly tightened restrictions. And to add insult to injury, their death rate is appalling, so their policy was indeed wrong on top of not working.
Be the change that you want to see in the universe. HN has a super easy to use API and I have downloaded the entire history of the site before for a past project. If you don't want to do the leg work yourself I am positive that the data set is out there for download somewhere if you google around.
I hardly call the use of a few keywords as "derived from English". There are 36 keywords in Python, one of them being __peg_parser__, what the hell does that mean for an English speaker? Maybe the Python community is not the best example, I did not know they actively subverted any attempts at multi-language. But still, forking the project and simply renaming and translating the documentation would serve much better at lowering the barrier of entry, if that's the goal. The cynic in me thinks that the creators of the language simply used that excuse as a way to justify scratching their itch to create a new language given that there are so many better ways to remove the English barrier to programming.
> With each launch emitting roughly as much as a single commercial flight

It's one of those "connective" facts that puts so many distinct things into perspective. When I first learned it a few years ago, I became simultaneously very relieved that a rocket launch doesn't really have that big of a carbon footprint, and horrified by how much emissions a single passenger plane can make. It's a lesson about how visuals can be misleading: a plane looks tiny and doesn't really seem to be doing anything, while a rocket is big and rises to heavens on a pillar of flame, propelled by the anger of hell itself - and yet it turns out they're roughly the same, emissions-wise.
Getting people to overpay for entertainment is a great business model.
2500 videos per minute doesn't equal 500 hours of original content per minute, which is part of the problem.

Just look at all the reaction channels and compilations that simply reuse the same content over and over again. You have one funny or shocking clip (often from 3rd party sources such as TikTok) and you'll find the same video snippet in at least 10,000 remix/compilation/reaction videos. Not to mention reuploads and straight up copies.

Algorithms have a hard time catching up with this and cropping, mirroring, tinting, etc. are often used to confuse ContentID. Asymmetry is the problem. Bots and software can both spam and flag content at superhuman rates.

The inverse - e.g. deciding whether a complaint is legit, fair use applies, whether monetisation is possible, etc. - is actually a really hard problem and therein lies the dilemma.

Certain parties are gaming the system and the scale is just too much to handle manually.

There is no reason to expect that you could simulate the entire universe within the universe either; and even less reason to imagine it could be done losslessly, so that this could regress indefinitely, as the proof requires.

In fact, I find that the idea that the universe could be entirely simulated in a portion of itself is actually very similar to the idea of omnipotent beings existing. They are about as plausible to me (not very) and have similar implications.

In fact, if a human could run a simulation of the entire universe, they would be exactly equivalent to the idea of god for that universe, and could decide to enact whatever religious story they chose for their creations, including stuff like planting fossils that look millions of years old in a 6000 year old Earth, mutilating cows and causing crop circles, answering prayers for rain and floods, pulling the sun on a chariot across the sky etc. They could even decide to run beautiful simulations almost forever for people who do good after they die, and scary torturous simulations for those who did bad.

So, if you believe in a simulation, you should also seriously consider that religious texts could be real and passed down from the runner of the simulation, whose name might as well be YHWH or Brahman.
My advice: buy a bottom-tier VM. $1-2.50 a month. Install apache or nginx, pick a static site generator. Investigate LetsEncrypt. Run a local git repo and clone it off to a local machine every so often.

When you're feeling comfortable, buy a domain and set up LetsEncrypt for SSL. If you've found a limitation in the VM provider, consider moving to a different one. Consider whether a CDN is the right thing for you.
I've owned an OP-1, Octatrack, and Digitone at various points.

They aren't comparable to the OP-1, which is more of a quirky, fun, expensive toy, and there's nothing else like it really. I wasn't getting anything done with it, so I sold it. But, I can definitely see how someone could have a lot of fun making songs with it.

Is it worth a thousand bucks? Nowadays you're probably better off spending half that on a Roland MC-101 or Novation Circuit Tracks.

But I always kind of wish I never got rid of my OP-1 - it was definitely the most fun I've had on a self-contained hardware device - the tape interface for recording was just awesome.

But as for the price increases, I never understood why people complain about this. They can charge whatever they want. This not a necessary item.

> Elektron is one of the few companies that pushes the envelope of digital sequencing

I think the Elektron sequencer workflow is overrated. Software is better. I understand thinking the restrictions encourage creativity (I don't personally subscribe to this idea), but the sequencer isn't "pushing the envelope" compared to what you can whip up in software.

So I guess I kind of think some of the Elektron machines are also quirky, expensive toys.
AFAIK you bypass 2FA when you use IMAP. I don't see many advantages of using Proton (over any other independent e-mail provider) without 2FA.

The thing is, I connect all my accounts to a single mail application and handle everything from there, including their automated backups for ~15 years or so.

The jury is still out for me, we'll see.
I agree, and you do have that right, it's a gradient and yes this is up for debate. It really isn't this black and white.

It's not, that analysis is from 2017 and the issues described have been mitigated. The Monero team updated mixin sampling algorithm to better reflect real world usage. They increased the ring size from a minimum of 4 in the paper to 11. The team is working on increasing the ring size from 11 to 64, and possibly 128 (provided there is enough block chain space).

Coinbase takes a fee for every transaction in the assets traded on the platform.

The asset in question is the one which people choose as the asset to hold on to express their fears of inflation

This is not unlike 2010 when people like Stanley Druckenmiller and libertarians alike predicted hyperinflation due to QE.

Normies are where Druckenmiller was back in 2010, they have an irrational fear of inflation and they express it by buying BTC.

Coinbase is perfectly positioned to gain from this movement which emerged, and it will only continue given that like anything the more authorities tell humans what to do (in this case to spend) the more they rebel by doing the opposite
Even for normal user space code having a way to detect panic at compile time and abort compilation would be great. Ideally together with a way to wrap functions that do panic by catching it and throwing an error instead so the panic infrastructure can still be used. I've sketched that out on HN the other day:

They added some restrictions, certainly, but it's completely inaccurate to suggest that they've somehow reversed course -- the OP is erecting an ideologically rigid, straw-man argument that Sweden can never do anything differently at all, or they are somehow "going back on" their initial approach.

Overall, Sweden has taken a light touch with the pandemic, and continues to do so, even though, yes, they've adapted over time.

Uber Drivers’ Latest Scam: Claim That Passenger Doesn’t Wear a Face Mask
First, your point implies down votes are a check on bad behavior as opposed to a form of disagreement. I suspect many users use social media voting for a variety of different reasons.

Secondly, there are two solutions to that problem:

1. If you believe the environment, group, or social body of a particular conversing venue is heavily biased, whether deliberate or not, you don't have to participate there. Simply leave.

2. If you believe a particular user is deliberately exercising some form of bad behavior or displays an inability to follow the conversation you don't have to reply to them. Simply let it die.

For example: whether or not I ever liked or voted for President Trump I would never spend time on Reddit at r/theDonald because I know conversation there is biased like a form of cult worship. Why bother conversing where you are not allowed to disagree on any matter?
What do you define as "actual" freedom? In Singapore I don't have to worry about getting shot, or anti-Asian physical attacks, and the excellent, clean, safe public transit system means I can get around just fine even when I am not medically fit to drive, and don't have to worry about insane healthcare expenses. Freedom is relative.
I'm not sure what you mean by "cryptos making bets."

Valid points on use, but paypal adoption might cause a jump and a few others in that direction, but still small.

Barrier to entry, paypal or not, is fairly small actually. Good wallet and transaction ecosystem that works via QR code. Depending on what way CB and places like BlockFi go, links to dollar economy get a lot stronger too.

What sound reasoning is behind all this: bitcoin's massive breakthrough is a protocol that can send verifiably discrete entities across a network, without a central party needing to verify the discrete-ness. This is a huge breakthrough in a lot of ways, but basically consider if you network could send payments as exactly as easily as it does HTTP packets. HTTP changed the world, and that's the idea behind bitcoin's value. If you could somehow buy a slice of HTTP in 1997, or TCP/UDP, now knowing how important and valuable those became (valued by the size of the internet economy), would you?
Well, the obvious answer is that there is no choice in that either, but that in most context it serves us best to act as if we do have choice, because the effects of our actions still affect us.

If we "step into the fiction" so to speak, there is reason for passing judgement if passing judgement leads to better outcomes. A lack of agency does not shield us from those outcomes.

But it makes retribution as a justification fundamentally immoral. Of course, there's recursion here - retribution for retribution would be no better.

and Purely ($79)

unfortunately despite being even slightly more expensive than LG Puricare, it seems to have worse filters?

not sure why you would want to tie your music listening to your air purification?

people who traditionally might like this type of consumer grade active filter mask are those worried about the effects of pollution in cities on their health, it's interesting to see this company xupermask attempt to appeal instead to streetwear or fashion and music crowds.

I predict a very small chance of actually breaking through and making this type of mask more widely popular outside health-focused or urban foot+cycle commuters and a large chance of complete failure due to the product's price and lack of consumer interest.

people immediately dismissing this are just ignorant to the real interest in air filtration by those who are deeply concerned with the health effects of breathing urban pollution.

If you were to collide two LEO satellites and turn them into fragments, even if you give those fragments much higher velocity than the initial satellites, you _cannot_ launch them into a higher orbit.

Fragments that are launched down obviously hit the Earth. But an orbit is a closed ellipse, so the fragments that are launched up will _also_ hit the Earth -- they'll just go up steeply, turn around, and come down. The only fragments that won't initially hit the Earth are the ones that are ejected tangentially, parallel to the Earth's surface. Those will go into an elliptical orbit with a high apogee and perigee at the altitude of the collision. Which means they will _still _come down to that altitude and gradually lose energy.
Well, it's true that the official manual contains mostly short-term, actionable recommendations, but some of them do have the goal of avoiding long-term consequences.

> been == bin ? - the rules for that are just evil

Actually, the rules are rather simple. They all have to do with unstressed syllables in English: unstressed vowels are reduced to /ə/ or /ɪ/ (the latter is what comes to play in your been -> bin use). Stress rules in English are not simple compared to other languages, and I can definitely see where non-native speakers might get confused.

One downside of the schwa reduction rules is that it can trip you up when you realize that you need to spell a word with a reduced vowel and you're not sure how it's actually written, because every vowel can be reduced to /ə/.

In practice, other languages usually printing squares, or sometimes character escape codes after backslash, for encoding errors in their strings. That’s not always the best thing to do, but I think that’s what people want in majority of use cases.
