Kannadiga* here.

very interesting theory.

Although I haven't come across many Kannadigas who choose en_CA due to KA and CA sounding similar, this is an angle for sure.

But OP's guess (en_CA alphabetically above en_GB / en_US) is a more possible reality.

Another trivia: Kannada-English dialect is called "Kanglish" here. Ex: "ಲಾಕ್-ಡವ್ನ್ ! ಬಸ್ಸು ಕಾರು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ರೋಡಿಂದಾ ಬ್ಯಾನ್!" [phonetic: 'lockdown! baSSu, kaaru ellaa road-indaa byaan!'] Though the sentence is accepted to be Kannada, only true Kannada word there is "ellaa" (=> all)

Kanglish is the norm here, and textbook Kannada isn't getting good love from many. The onslaught of Sankrit on pure classical Kannada is a different topic altogether, for another day!

*people from Karnataka who speak Kannada.
What a bizarre comment! Since you already know what spellings work for me, which of the other locale packages, in your esteemed opinion, should I be using to make sense?
OIC, Well after contemplating on your question, I think the best solution would be to help him develop an android app or tool that would assist electricians do their jobs. Possibly a calculator or database front end, it would combine his experience as an electrician and his interest in software dev into a profitable niche...just my 2 cents.

Last time I cleaned my apt I managed to delete my grub conf somehow and had to spend the day learning to manually mount an encrypted zfs pool. Luckily I have some etc keeper thing that keeps a git log of all changes to my conf files so I could restore it.
> how they affect consumer behavior, including potential harms

I'd consider a dark pattern links to terms of use, privacy policies etc. which are not on the same page, which are easy enough to not read before agreeing and which are written in a way which could be misunderstood.

If something is important, it should be presented in a way which would leave little to the chance of not getting the information - it should be unimportant to be able to avoid it.

On the other hand, the paper version of that is widely used as well, so I don't hold my breath.
In theory you could do parallel scan tricks to implement primitive restart at full speed, but obviously it's going to cost you and it complicates the index fetch immensely since it effectively ends up being split into two parts.

Most likely, Apple simply doesn't build GPUs big enough to run into that problem, but it makes you wonder what they're doing on their hardware with AMD GPUs.
Because the employees aren't buying their own labor. Why should they get a part in the decision about how someone else spends their money?
> We've all live in a system of inflationary money and were educated by a system that teaches it's use. We should acknowledge our bias here and keep an open mind.

The problem with that is that deflationary money isn't exactly a new idea. It's been tried before, it's workable, but it has problems. However, it is an idea that favors people who already have lots of money over those who don't, which has fueled background level nostalgia (and nostalgic propaganda) for the idea.

Bitcoin had some genuine innovations, but that doesn't mean all the ideas that were baked into it were good ones.
As everyone else has been saying, this is amazing work. It sounds like the biggest issue with loading the page is the initial sql.js download - it's about 1.2MB, is that right?

Might it be feasible to easily strip down SQLite so that it only compiles the parts for read-only use? The browser version is obviously somewhat read-only but that's because of the sandbox. I'm talking about excluding the code for CREATE, UPDATE, INSERT and everything else which is just for writing. The aim here would be to produce a significantly smaller WASM binary.

I'm guessing that the answer is no, there's no easy way of doing this without significant rewrites of SQLite's core, but... I can't be the only one to think of this, surely?
Algorand already has smart contracts and seems a lot more efficient and developer friendly than Cardano.
For any new technology it is important to ask, who will have access and how will we treat those without access.

Sometimes new tech enriches all our lives, nearly everyone benefits from renewable energy for instance. In other cases you risk furthering the divide between haves and have nots. When a person experiencing homelessness has their neural device go bad, how do we ensure they aren't just left in the street suffering? Are we comfortable living in a world where the elderly are permitted to suffer from Alzheimer's when we have a cure like you describe, just because they were too poor to afford treatment?

Secondly, it is important to ask, how could the technology be used if greed or maliciousness are the main motivators. Do those downsides outweigh the positives?

I'm moderately bullish on brain computer interfaces, but I caution or challenge people to put on their engineering hats and really think deeply about both the positives and negatives of new technology.

Ask HN: Why is Substack (YC W18) constantly hiring here?
Every time I come to Hacker News I see this post on the front page: "Substack (YC W18) is hiring to build a better business model for writing". Seen that at least twenty times . What's going on? Is it just marketing? Do they have a special deal with Y-Combinator?
What reason would they have for telling the truth? A spy agency's official communications are always meant to elicit some response, it is never simply to disclose some information, since their default mode is to hoard information.

In this case, their motive is obviously to create an image of Cuba as a devious enemy of the United States who is willing to hurt low level officers in chronic ways, a dishonorable enemy.

This probably comes in the context of generally improving relationships with Cuba on almost the entire American continent, while the USA is still maintaining its illegal embargoes.

Now, is it possible that they chose to use a true story to advance this narrative? Yes, it is, absolutely. But if they want to spread this message and don't have a true story they are willing to share, nothing would stop them from sharing a false one instead.
It implies that because it’s literally true. Not a complete loss of care, but it makes sense to hide the sign in button because users who are already signed up are already invested, and less likely to abandon the service. The front pages main job is to grow the company by attracting new users, and a sign in button for users who aren’t going anywhere anyways gets in the way of that.
Yes, I think you are right to question whether they would observe the rest of the universe running in fast forward.

If a hypervelocity star passed by us, we would see them in slow motion because they are moving at high speed relative to us. At the same time, they would see us in slow motion because we would be moving at high speed relative to them. The effect of “the other clock is slower” is reciprocal.

The weirder and non-reciprocal effects would occur when the hypervelocity star is first slingshotted out to high speed. At that point they would be close to a black hole (deep in a gravitational well) and accelerating (non-inertial frame of reference). Under those conditions, their clock would run slower than our clock for observers on both sides — i.e., we would see them in slow motion and they would see us in fast forward.
So much this!

Any radio beam which was strong enough to affect human tissue would drive a basic EM detector crazy.

A suitable detector would be a simple wire dipole, a schottky diode and a meter. Any radio hobbyist could make you one in a few minutes.

Plus such a strong field would drive most domestic electronics equipment crazy due to our crappy RF immunity regulations..

That doesn’t sound like mission-critical levels of reliability.
> But what happens if a miner interprets a Segwit transaction as "pay to anybody" and creates a block that violates the "additional validation"

They don't because segwit (or taproot, for that matter) script is flagged using input-space that the old software knows is "from the future" so that it knows it doesn't know how to validate it. As a result, they won't relay it, won't mine it, and won't display it in their wallets until confirmed. But if someone else puts it in a block they'll accept it.

If someone goes and lobotomizes their own software so that it'll mine stuff it knows it doesn't understand, then they could produce an invalid block. But anyone that is upgraded just ignores their block like it never happened.

This is why the activation of such things is normally triggered by a super-majority of hashpower being upgraded: It's for the benefit of parties that haven't upgraded so that even if there are some bad-data-maniacs out there pulling expensive stunts, their invalid blocks are quickly left behind and even non-upgraded nodes won't see many confirmations before the bad block is removed. (And upgraded nodes won't see any at all, of course.)

In the case of taproot 90% of the hashrate has to signal support during any one of several two week signaling periods to trigger activation. If that doesn't happen, people will figure out why and try again (potentially with different activation criteria).
fees are hitting all-time highs

I just checked https://mempool.space

A low-priority transaction cost $2.36; medium is $4.39 and high is $7.48.

To put this into context: you can send $10,000 worth of BTC anywhere in the world in an hour for $2.36 right now.

A bank wire transfer for $10,000 is going to be at least $35; often it's more, depending on which country you're sending to and if you have to use an intermediate bank to get to the bank you're ultimately are attempting to reach.

Bank holidays, weekends, etc. don't apply to bitcoin.

No. It is important to note that PECR does not distinguish between cookies used for analytics activities and those used for other purposes. Analytics cookies do not fall within the ‘strictly necessary’ exemption. This means you need to tell people about analytics cookies and gain consent for their use.

Everything from self driving, to shipping cars, to moon and Mars missions. It's one thing to be an optimist. It's another to promise something you have no path to deliver.
While I do see mostly economy cars on the lots, the only time they gave me a smaller car than I had reserved was during a freak snowstorm. Weeks ahead I had explicitly reserved a 4x4, I called to confirm before I got on the plane, but when I showed up they could only offer me their smallest economy car saying they gave those cars to preferred members (cue Seinfeld's rant on reservations).

Every other time they either push me to upgrade, or for whatever reason upgrade my car for free. I usually decline because if it's just me with a carry-on I'd prefer not to pay the extra cost of gas. When I've needed a full-size/SUV I've never had a problem.

Although, one other issue is the widest selection is near an airport. If you're taking a road trip and not flying you may have to drive to one.
Like I said, it “may make the battery no longer useful, because the Leaf's range is just barely adequate for many people.”

Great for you if it works in your circumstances. For others it doesn’t and I don’t see what the need for the hostility is. Not everyone is exactly like you.
Zero idea if this would be correct but I’d assume the FTC equivalent would step in and not allow it.

Ask HN: What's the new things coming after Decentralised system in Tech?
I'm sorry, my post must have given the impression that I was talking about credit scores instead of credit cards, which is what I was talking about.

As for your other point, if there were no benefit from floating money for 2 months, then there'd be no benefit from doing that an indefinite number of times, which conflicts with the time value of money, an established, mathematically basic concept.

Cereal boxes are a great / terrible example of this. Have you ever noticed how many slightly different sizes of Cheerios there are?

In the U.S, you can get an 8.9oz box, a 12oz box, and an 18oz box.

Honey nut Cheerios? Oh, those come in a 10.8oz box, a 15.4oz box, or a 19.5 oz box.

You would be forgiven for thinking these boxes have remained constant over time, or that you could compare boxes between the exact same brand and class of product.
I’ve listened to pages in large Canadian cities in the past for fun. Pages at the local hospital often included patient names and diagnosis or analysis results.
Man you are a frickin genius, seriously. like how you put all this together all the depth of knowledge of different topics this would require the low level and the high level and the way you explain it simply confidently and with impact. Your work is really an inspiration. You computer scienced the sheet out of this thing.

this achievement, and this blog post, to me is on par with blog posts that you would see from a major company where they solve some significant business critical technical challenge in-house. for example: the GitHub blog post about how they created their spinning globe of commits on their homepage, or a Netflix blog post of how they optimized their Network infrastructure to serve so many customers.

your work is truly incredible. You're next level of next level.
I think it's a much smaller signaling risk, especially given how much time has passed and the number of founders (9 total, including Musk).

The Paypal Mafia tends to structure their companies this way... a large, tiered system of founders and junior founders. This is more like losing an early team member than, for example, a Collison.

(Also, it's ironic you cited OpenAI, since it did lose a founder... Musk)
If a site does something like this, a) You know that site is malicious. b) Choose another site. c) As users get more sophisticated these kind of tricks won't work.
Their continued unilateral embargo of Cuba, deemed illegal by the UN, needs some constant justification. Especially in light of Cuba's diplomatic efforts in the rest of the world (most recently, dispatching Cuban doctors to help care for Covid19 patients all over the world, starting with the outbreak in Lombardia).
And what of the court-ordered memory extraction by invasive brain surgery? Perhaps not even of alleged perpetrators, but of bystanders. It sounds far-fetched, but we've done worse. The choices we make today dictate the future we live in tomorrow.
I see where you’re coming from. But a class-action suit from nearly every user that has used public domain copyrighted material and couldn’t monetize it seems just as bad.
With the hindsight of Facebook and the likes on social media, which went from "oh cute, I can be in touch with all my high school friends" to becoming a greedy, evil, manipulative corporations with unlimited money and captive audiences, I for one, am off the cyborg bandwagon.

I really love technology, of what is possible, of what positive changes it can bring about. But history, even the very very recent ones, have show how quickly technology can be pivoted to suit vested interests.
Thanks. Still unsettling that while both perspectives are equally valid, Newtonian physics is so much more convincing than what came before (clockwork/earth at the center of the universe).

So while both relative views are equally true, the laws of physics (or at least mathematics) don't seem to hold both those views with equal esteem.
It would be more correct to say that they never deal in truth with the public. Of course they are a source of well researched and painstakingly obtained truths for government decision makers, but never for the public.
The real answer is you almost never need to solve this silly problem. If your data is static, why are you counting through arrays? If its dynamic, your n is probably low enough it doesn't matter or you're using some better data structure than an array.

If you do hit this kind of problem its usually in games (lots of dynamic user generated content) and even then the n is usually negligible. The parts where this does matter are already very data oriented. (Although not just in the way the article implies. Think vertex buffers and bitmaps.)

Point is, languages could probably add some kind of column oriented type of array and compilers could efficiently loop through them but it probably wouldn't really help all that much.
Without technology, we wouldn’t have the resources to sustain our population, leading to widespread skirmishes for local resources and a rapid devolution of society. Many people would die and we’d probably be set back a thousand years at least. Pockets of the world would escape this fate, having successfully organized around the right leaders. They would probably only be set back a few hundred years and become the new governments of the world a hundred years later. These may feel like long time scales, given that we would somehow have access to all human knowledge, but I feel they are correct. There is an unfathomable amount of work to be done, and a lack of societal stability will constantly set us back even as we make progress. We will basically have to relive much of modern history.

Most of those things don't go away if you send a pull request via the Github web interface, because they boil down to "follow the rules and guidelines of the Linux kernel developers".

Oh, and not everyone is intimately familiar with the Github pull request interfaces.
Do you say that at Google salaries increase with profits and are not capped by "fair amount for your location"?
I remember when Microsoft introduced "Do not track" and enabled it by default many websites said "no we will not grant that request"- because the user has not made a choice but using the default choice.

Isn't it same situation with this. My Iphone had tracking disabled after updaring to 14.5. I have not made a choice and I am not being prompted for anything
And this can be easily solvable by swapping the Sign up for Sign In after the first time you logged in a browser cookiejar. Obviously the devil is in the details, but it shouldn't be that complex having a visible Sign Up for potential new users and a visible Sign In for existing users...
As a lifelong video game player who has little interest in online games, online multiplayer, or mobile games I’ve found myself increasingly frustrated with the state of gaming for all the reasons this article discusses.

I remember when DLC (purchased in a brick-and-mortar store, installed via disk) was becoming more mainstream. Anecdotally, people hated it! Comments about not getting a full game or having to pay twice to get the full experience were common sentiments. How times have changed!

Now that microtransaction laden grind-fest is the norm for AAA games (even single player ones) I just don’t play much any more which is a real shame. It frustrates me that when games like Spider-Man or Ghosts of Tsushima that buck the trend are notable for bucking the trend and for actually being enjoyable (over being an as-a-service cash cow). That should be the default! These games are fun! Why make fun games or even art when making something grinding and addictive with mtx makes you so much extra money?
I hate it. The insidious practices are anti-consumer, anti-human. It’s unethical imo but there’s clearly too much money to be made.
> I'm also curious about how this sqlite thing picks the correct range to load

Indexes are usually btree, it finds what and where the relevant index is (probably from the schema queries), then goes trawling through the b-tree.

That’s how db engines normally work, they don’t liberally go through the entire db contents.

If there’s no index then it finds the start of the table and scans it sequentially (which is exactly what it sounds like).

People aren't hyper-polarized about Clubhouse, they're polarized by the hype surrounding the product/service, partly cultivated by the people behind and on Clubhouse. Honestly, this sort of messianic blather only serves to make it sound even more pretentious and elitist. It's a solid audio platform, sure. What does it do that private chat groups- Slack, Discord, even Houseparty, doesn't do? Imagine if Yahoo Groups had offered voice chat. Or Facebook Groups- actually, Menlo Park is already building such a thing already.

You could have run all of the symposiums and Chautauquas you wanted through these preexisting platforms. But Clubhouse, like NFTs, openly flaunts its exclusivity. It advertises private conversations to the world to boost demand. Creating artificial scarcity to overvalue itself.

And your anecdote? I don't doubt it happened, even if it sounds dubious. How did a struggling musician even get onto this platform? And if he did, then what does it say about the exclusivity it promises? Plenty of services were invite only at the onset, from Gmail to Spotify. Will Clubhouse remain that way indefinitely? Or will eternal September come for you, too? At best, perhaps it will become another MasterClass, with hyped experts in their field hawking their wisdom in different rooms for pay (this, too, must monetize). This magic you describe, it is as fleeting as in any platform. The only way to preserve it is to embrace privacy and anonymity. Private Slack servers, private Discord servers. Telegram and Signal conversations. A platform that brags about exclusivity yet does not embrace anonymity is just begging for the masses to drop by.
Is there any way to get an old reddit experience on mobile? Custom CSS. Extensions. Anything? The mobile website for reddit is pure garbage.
Why? You can sell a dream.
The only problems here are the use of UI that mimics the native one and opening the App Store without users intent.

It's actually a good idea to ask the user for feedback internally, a lot of low star reviews are bug reports or help requests that wouldn't help anyone(those who don't have the app yet wouldn't know how relevant that issue is for them and the developers won't have a channel to communicate and help the user who is having the issues).
Sounds like a good idea but I bet people would mess it up somehow! I personally would never accept something that can explode from a stranger!
Yeah from what it sounds like there were some incidents in the news in BC in 2019 and it sounds like a lot of hospitals may have adopted new procedures since then? Not sure if you've been listening to any recent ones?

It's kinda hard also to figure out which areas may be doing it and which aren't as the different provinces are kinda run independently.
