Yeah I’m pretty sure there’s something really cool that could be built around this. There’s a lot of variety possible.

Brian host of Techmeme Ride Home Podcast has been experimenting with an occasional open table type discussion on Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse to discuss some of the topics and trends that pass through the daily podcast. He does the show with Chris Messina (inventor of the Twitter hashtag usage).

It’s similar in concept to what you’re doing, I’ve been enjoying listening, it’s been cool to see / listen to them build the show format in public.

Here an example show that I linked to from my linkblog recently:

> Not true, FireFox and Safari have had them off by default for over a year now.

Not quite. They will block some 3rd party tracking cookies that fall on their tracking blacklist. If you want to block all 3rd party cookies you have to explicitly disable them.
...hence these very protests. And thus the outsized extra-legal response.

This is a gang war, fundamentally. Cops view the protest movement as an existential threat (and strictly, they're not wrong) and are going to use whatever tools they can find to fight it. They aren't trying to enforce the law, they're trying to put down their enemies.
> The point is most clients run whatever the politicians tell them to.
What makes it even harder for engineers to see what’s actually going on with Bitcoin is that we suck at politicking and don’t even see it when it’s happening: the shaming if you’re running the wrong version, the worshipping of certain devs to help identify shepherds the sheep should follow, the scapegoating of dissenters, etc.

Woah there buddy, speak for yourself, and only yourself. You may be terrible at politics, but I can assure you, not every engineer is.

Also, you are the one who's trying to make the case that the ability to make a derivative work of Bitcoin means that PoW has somehow failed. I'd say it's just the opposite -- the fact that one chain has a lot more PoW than the other is a very strong reading of the collective affinities borne by each chains' stakeholders. That's something you couldn't measure in pre-Bitcoin p2p systems. If anything, it means political shenanigans are harder to come by -- in order to legitimately claim one chain is more well-received than another other, you have to pony up actual energy. Hype, paid followers, ad blitzes, charismatic leaders, etc. only get you so far.

> You’re doing it right now by calling a specific chain a “pretender”.

Bitcoin came first. BCash, BSV, etc. are derivative works, not the original. Bitcoin has nearly two orders of magnitude of hashes per second behind it than the rest. Each project styles itself as "Bitcoin."

These are all facts. My characterization of these other systems as "pretenders" is meant to convey these facts, and nothing more.

> If PoW actually worked as advertised, none of these games would be necessary.

Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, derivative works notwithstanding, but people will believe whatever they want at the end of the day. Honestly, I don't care, because as of right now, far more people believe that the original Bitcoin is the Bitcoin, as evidenced by its significantly higher PoW.
The line should be agency. If they contribute to the action, and that is not forced some how, like self defense, they are not journalists.

> You can only flip in one direction, so the time taken to update is entirely dependent on the previous state. Worst case you'd need to display the previous character (B -> A for alphabetical order) and would have to flip through the entire alphabet to get to it.

This only applies if you have only one copy of each letter.

You can consider having more copies of frequent letters mixed into the stack, if the stack's thickness allows.
In the short term they might not care, and for an old civilization the short term might be a few hundred years. If they are anything like current day humanity, we would end up interacting with a tiny portion of their population like some middle manager at an interstellar mega corp or xenology students on a grant from their nearest university.

We won’t be important, and certainly won’t be making any appreciable difference good or bad to their civilazation as whole.

Worst case scenario that I think is plausible is that they are so decentralized that one of their warlords would come over and set up an empire on top of us for a few hundred years before the central authority realizes anything.
Yes, it does not work too well, though.

Now I’m a daily runner (~5km daily, 7-15km on the weekend) and nothing could prepare my body better than walking.

Things like this happen often and every time it does the media takes the position that they should be protected and held in a special position because of their employer.

I wish we would collectively agree that press is a thing people do, not a certain “class” of people.

All people should be able to observe and report on (to the extent they wish or do not wish to) actions of the state without being interfered with.
Wouldn't that only help with the average case, not the worst case? Either you have multiple copies of every character (in which case you're still flipping through the same number of characters as the original stack), or some characters don't have duplicates.
So what's a better alternative? Autopilot continuing to drive with the driver's seat belt unbuckled, or have the car slow down slowly to a stop?

Breaking hard for no apparent reason is dangerous, slowing down slowly to a stop is not.

This didn't really feel like an explanation or an answer as to why you believe sex work is not "real work". What exactly are the characteristics of real work? Once you've defined those qualities it'll be easier for HN to understand why you believe it falls outside that domain.

As far as sex work being nasty and exploitative I can think of plenty of capitalistic industries that are and have been equally exploitative to their workers. (mining industry, Foxconn, etc).

Apple is helping developers make the best software possible. They have a full suite of incredibly optimized and performant frameworks for compute, graphics, signal processing, machine learning, rendering, animation, networking, etc... That is all available via free download for writing MacOS and iOS apps.

Remember, they are selling computers as a combination of hardware and software. They are not selling processors so they are of course not supporting driver and other low level software for other OSs. That's a bummer if you are into other OSs, but it is not part of their business model so it should not be surprising.

Other OSs are supported via their virtualization framework. My limited tests show about a 10% performance penalty. Not too bad right out of the gate with a new system.

That being said, Ms. Rosenzweig is doing some incredible and interesting work. Really enjoying the series.

> Consent to "rank posts based on unknown criteria to maximize relevance" will incidentally, at least on some occasions, cause "emotional manipulation" in the consumers of the feed.

Why is that automatically the case and how would the user know that?

> So again, consent is already provided for the possibility of emotional manipulation.

Giving consent for one specific form of emotional manipulation does not give blanket consent to all forms - especially not to deliberate acts.

Using the same logic, a surgeon could argue:

This patient asks me to fix his broken leg. To do this, I have to operate on him and create an incision. An incision is an instance of causing bodily harm. Therefore, the patient has given consent for me to cause him bodily harm. Therefore, I now have consent to punch the patient's face and steal his kidneys.

See the problem?

> What's the difference between accidental and scientifically valid emotional manipulation such that extra consent is needed?

One is accidental, the other is deliberate.

My nick (sneak) is a proper noun and is never capitalized.
I believe your reading is incorrect. The police are not allowed to order journalists to leave the area or to "round them up." The police were given a legal order by a judge not to do this. They did it anyway, issuing an unlawful order as applied to journalists.

If the police can't themselves operate within the law they're sworn to uphold, why do they deserve any deference or respect?

I've always loved these - this company makes one that looks great, but isn't open source (there is an API that has yet to be released): https://www.vestaboard.com

It's also quite expensive, but has a clever design where the individual split-flap modules can be replaced.

There are also custom ones you can have made (probably even more expensive), but they're mostly targeting enterprise: https://www.oatfoundry.com/split-flap/

It'd be neat to have one you could hook up to some market API to make a little stock ticker.

Very cool to see work an open source design.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with this site when this trash is the #1 post on the front page?
My first impulse was it’s not the same effect, but thinking of it some more I see what you mean. The main problem with it is convincing everyone that fb actually sells a drug and not entertainment/news.

Otoh, if you find out that you’re selling drugs in your cookie shop, should you stop? Because even non-targeting news sites do exactly that in this analogy. They post articles that “everyone” wants to see. Where is a borderline between “free coffee to breakfast” and “heroin store black friday”?
This is ultimately the question though. The Press is the so-called 4th estate of government. They provide information to the people about how the government (and it’s agents) operate. The police didn’t tell the press to disperse, they told the protest to do so.

So are the Press part of the protest? Are they impartial and there in an objective observer capacity only (can they be?)

I don’t know the answers to those, but it’s not hard to see police using this tactic to prevent press from observing and reporting.
Yet another reason to employ DDG as your primary search engine. I've never been rate-limited by it.

(Google Web Search rate limits seemed to kick in around 2015 or so.)

You can still search Google (or metasearch) with bang queries, so, !S (for the Startpage Google proxy search) or !G (for google directly).

Google rate-limiting / CAPTCHA is vastly worse if you're on Tor or VPN. For the most part I simply avoid Google entirely.

> I totally buy that having IQ below, say, 95, is bad news for you in life in general. But is having IQ 130 guaranteed good news over someone who has 105 for ex.?

As others have said in the comments, there’s no guarantee, we are talking statistics here. The data of the several IQ studies that you can easily find online show correlations between IQ and other factors that people think of as measures of success.

> You can find 140 IQ truck divers etc.

And homeless, and everything in between. And the last time I checked, here were I live (catalonia) the data showed that about 70% of people with high IQ would not finish high school without repeating a full year. And yet, things like future income positively correlate with IQ.

Success is a very personal concept, but for most people it shares some similarities, and there’s factors that always help, whatever your definition (like having income to cover your needs).

My point is that if you try to fit a convex curve to the data, you’ll see that it’s not as good as a linear fit, meaning that there’s no specific place in the IQ scale where you’d be better off with a lower score, even if a lot of people with high IQ wish they were (which is understandable).

As for your comment about Mensa (or any other high IQ association), the problem is a rather common one. In all kind of associations (school parents, political groups, etc..) the people most involved tend to be the ones that have less going on with the rest of their lives, that’s why they are so involved in the first place. It’s just way weirder with Mensa because of the meaning of the “entry requirements”.

I acknowledge that it’s possible to run unsigned code at “ring 0” on M1 MacBooks but the existence of the DRM restrictions leads me to believe that certain DRM-relevant hardware is not accessible unless a signed OS is running. I’m not exactly sure how the attestation works from software to hardware but I have to guess that it exists, otherwise it would be relatively trivial to load a kext that enables 4K DRM with SIP disabled.

One may consider that not important but I think it’s important to at least note the hardware of these machines are not fully under user software control.

Then again, I don’t think the iOS support requires any hardware so I’m not sure why someone hasn’t released a mod (requiring a kext or not) that enables iOS app loading with SIP disabled.
