> How close to danger would you put the politicians

the Japanese politicians currently arguing that "the water of Fukushima does not present any danger to the environment and that it should be dumped into the sea" should only be allowed to consume the water they claim to be safe. that's about as close as it needs to be in order for accountability.
Everything you’re talking about only relates to the list price. I don’t know the right name for it. The value of the property. What you’d see on the for sale sign. You’re right about different levers on that.

The problem is that that’s not the price that matters in this particular setting. What matters are the monthly payments. If you change rates, the list price will change but monthly payments won’t.

The "clone" be better than the original imho. As of now Clubhouse seem to be mostly for artists, influencers, politics and non-tech people (or they mark themselves as tech for working in a tech business, but in a non-tech role). I was glad to be honoured with an invite, just to find out that the forums/subjects seem rather boring.. but that's maybe just me having too much hopes of a social community filled with interesting subjects and people, for instance like an eternal tech summit with ongoing sessions either teaching eachother or driving the open source community forward..

To me, it sounds as though these people want to be treated fairly and with humanity. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect that businesses in our society treat people as investments and give opportunities for upward mobility, not fire them every two years and pay them half as much as their counterparts who do the same job but wear a different color badge.

Bad memory? The first ever EURUSD exchange rate was 1.2034 in December of 2003. Today's rate is 1.2042.

It has most certainly not been going down for a long time.
It's not that hard to notice, there's just no official documentation or explanation of what these mechanics are and that's the extent of how "secret" it is. I think if you search dang's comment history he mentions it a few times, and obviously if you look for anecdotes you'll find plenty of users on this platform that have been rate limited, and deprioritized on other ways to have their opinions filtered out of the conversation.

Selective moderation is also a big problem on this platform. Rules only apply to certain groups of people, basically at dang's discretion.

The biggest problem with this platform is that there is no moderation log. The mod team works in an opaque manner, making it hard to prove or disprove the claims I was making. If we could just see a list of all comments dang had deleted, and the true vote count of each comment, we could all see exactly what the mod team was doing and be confident in its fairness.

That's obviously not the case though, and HN keeps this information from us to protect their image.

I don’t like Spotify’s player or their process for restricted access podcasts. “Free” isn’t free when it requires a special app.

Podcasts using RSS was genius and a great “protocol” for distributing content that fit into the original web idea of information available anywhere.

I hope Spotify loses and regular podcasts stick and thrive. I’m more worried about people like NPR requiring their own app x 1000.
Or, as a democratic form of government allows, they petition for laws that protect their interests from their representatives.

Good speakers or headphones make a genuine difference.

Amplifiers don't tend to matter much any more - cheap class B solid-state amps are all fine these days (heaphone amps are a lottery though).

No. I haven't left anything. I'm just saying that expecting that useful widespread formal specification language will be something as simple as LTT is wildly optimistic and you should expect that it will rather mirror and encompass the complexities and requirements of actual programming, like necessity of composability.

And it will most likely be somewhere between practical but unsound specification languages and those that come from pure mathematics.

Lived in South Florida for a while, this is exactly how it is. Also those "small mountain towns" are deeply conservative and intolerant, if you are white you are in luck, but I don't think they are thrilled to see an influx of non-white folks coming to their town, same with LGBTQ+ people. Those places fit a certain type of people but definitely not everybody that have the money to move there.

To those concerned about the ineffectiveness of flu shots or other vaccines in the elderly, Greg Fahy (eminent cryobiologist) developed a protocol for thymic rejuvenation that is in registered clinical trials now. And from the before/after scans, it does look like he's managed to replace much of the worthless fat in the aged thymus with functional tissue:

It's crazy how little attention this is getting. We're living through a global pandemic of a respiratory virus that predominantly affects the elderly (with weakened immune systems) and the immune-compromised, and almost no one is interested in this.
Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m looking for something that does this analysis that I can follow. When I did the math a few years ago Storj wasn’t the cheapest, so I want a good way to confirm that if storj is best now, what’s best in a year, etc.

This looks great. As I understand it, the major reason openssl is still in use (at all, really) -is a very unhealthy dependency on it's demented and complex Api... Has anything changed that makes it easier to switch from broken ssl lib to a new "perfect" one?

The site mentions:

> Enforce a no-panic policy to eliminate the potential for undefined behavior when Rustls is used across the C language boundary.

Is this a thing? Does panic open up for undefined behavior when using a rust library via C?

I can't recall seeing it mentioned before/in other rust threads/projects?

I whish you the best of luck- libopenssl is terrifying :)
What does this mean?

> Make it possible to configure server-side connections based on client input.

The other three bullet points I can immediately understand what they're achieving (the "No-panic policy" is trickiest but since I'm learning Rust I knew what that means, and it also links a ticket describing more)

But for this one I haven't a clue, maybe it should be obvious, and somebody else will explain.
I understand what you're saying, but I'm just telling you it's a scientific fact that race is a social construct in the sense that on all the relevant metrics that are usually talked about, like intelligence, ability, etc, there is more intragroup variation than intergroup variation.

That happened in the U.S. as well. If asset prices had stayed in the CPI then presumably interest rates would have to have stayed higher to keep those prices from getting out of control.
Rustls depends upon Ring. Ring itself has a lot of code from BoringSSL, an OpenSSL fork.

Long term, is this OK? How do we ensure the assembly and C code in Ring is as safe as Rustls itself?

> How is it a thing that a bank can give a loan to anyone claiming to have my name and SSN, without verifying that, and then hold me legally responsible for their lack of judgment?

They can't. That's not to say that it doesn't happen, or that it might not be a PITA to sort it out. But in court they would need to have more than a name and SSN to prove that you took out the loan.

Who were "The French"? The Armagnacs? Or the Burgundians?

The Armagnacs, who were slaughtered on the battlefield, weren't really in much power after Agincourt. The Burgundians, who stayed away from that fight, rose in power afterwards.

> The French still win the Hundred Years' War even after the Battle of Agincourt

That took over 30 years after Agincourt, an entire generation later. In the short term, Henry V gets crowned king of France after Charles VI.

And by "Winning the war", you mean, the French-line of kings get to remain king? Kicking out the English king from their country?

This feels like very motivated reasoning. Yes, the Soviets took Manchuria, but they had no capacity to invade Japan in 1945. They had a very small navy to begin with, and essentially no pacific fleet at all. This is important because you need a huge fleet to launch a full scale invasion of an island country.

For instance, the invasion of Okinawa Island alone, which is extremely small in comparison to Japan, involved 1,300 U.S. ships and dozens more from the Royal Navy.
There's a lot of things that you do via an API besides downloading batches of data. So if you have an API call for downloading data, should you also have a "download CSV" link powered by that API? Sure—and that's what the article claims. So I'm in agreement so far.

But that's not all that APIs are, or are used for. For everything else, all of their complaints are still valid—bad user experience, authentication is usually a PITA, docs are often poor / non-existent / in a different language. But there isn't an easy solution for those like in the "download batch of data" case. So I think it would make more sense trying to find something that helps those situations, too. Definitely include a download link where possible, but don't stop there.
Presumably the protocol would also embed this data into the very connections you're establishing to other servers. IPv4 and IPv6 have ways to correlate data, but putting it directly into the connection is on a whole new level when censorship is implemented.

> I don't care who lives here. That's actually what I like the most about rural living - for the most part if you leave people alone, they'll leave you alone. What I do care about is that the people I grew up with literally cannot afford their taxes anymore

Not meaning to pick on you, but this is almost exactly the rhetoric that got California into the situation it is in now.

* Taxes going up due to newcomers -> cap property taxes until sale/transfer

* Kids can't afford to inherit house -> make property tax assessment inheritable by children/grandchildren

* City can't fund more schools/sewers from limited property taxes -> put limits on new housing starts and encourage retail/commercial development

* Low property tax for life + high rents -> nobody ever sells a house, market goes up more

* Limited housing availability + need for people to fill those offices -> house prices really skyrocket

I just hope other places learn from California's mistake.

They did a great job with the mRNA vaccines, but they have been prolific in research for nearly decade. In my opinion a intersting question is whether infectious disease vaccines now matter to the "wealthy world", as infectious disease has largely been an economic backwater for Pharma/VC,etc. How mRNA vaccines play a role in that maybe interesting, as their product profile is mostly 'wealthy world friendly' at this point.
Yes, unless you are looking for low cost housing.

For books, something that has helped me in getting the best of the stuff in them has been this. For every new book, create a google doc with three sections:

1. Before
2. During
3. After

The first "Before" section is to list down your preconceptions about the topic you're going to read about. What do you think you already know about the topic? What do you feel about the topic? And so on.

Next, as you go through the book page by page, contrast whatever you encounter with your preconceptions. Is there anything new or interesting there? Actively seek interesting-ness or novelty. Or is there a fact that contradicts or supports your preconceptions? Note all of those down.

And once you're done with reading, spend some time listing down your thoughts in the "After" section. Have you become wiser due to the book? Do you feel better at knowing more? Have you clarified your understanding of the world or yourself? Or at least, do you have more questions on the topic with you for further study?

If you have additional time, restructure everything you store into a blog-post. I modified this idea originally from Farnam Street (https://fs.blog).

Squarely blame it on the "one drop rule" which is overtly racist in nature and as of 2021 is still used as a legal definition. Furthermore its prevalent in the scientific/medical communities and society. It is astonishing how EVERYONE proudly and without hesitation upholds this. Mind you this is exclusively in the United States.

If the definition applied to European Americans as equally as Non-European Americans, a lot of American History will have to be rewritten.
>if someone like Joe Rogan had a paid for subscription plan where you were paying him directly, instead of being forced into a membership with Spotify, would that in a sense be more open

Yes, because podcasts were previously open on numerous fronts. Any person can create a podcast that can be listened to be any person on any device. That is three points of openness. Adding a price on only restrict one of those points, the "listened to by any person". It still wouldn't stop any person's ability to create them or any device's ability to play them. Spotify (and presumably Apple) restricts both those points of openness too.
I can't tell if this is a tone deaf joke or not.

I used this long podcasts to fall asleep to but had to stop now with spotify.
