Very long winded but very careful and considered opinion on currency of all types.

The bottom line on Bitcoin more or less matches my own opinion: The only real function it provides or is likely to ever provide is speculation.
I thought it was more a case of the orcs, who are supposed to serve the greater power Sauron, leaving, because they wanted everyone to stop calling their rations 'stinking man-flesh' and so-on, but were told to just 'get back to work, you filth'.

LOL.
Loved the obsessiveness! FWIW the entire beer-brewing industry runs on NaOH for cleaning and sanitising. Disposing of it is not quite as environmentally-friendly as the dishwasher manufacturer seems to want you to believe -- in most places you'd be in serious trouble if you poured any significant quantity down the drain.

eta: I've just looked up the constituents of the dishwasher tablets we've been using, and yes, indeed, they're mostly NaOH, an inert carrier (Na2SO4) and a variety of water-softeners, packaging films to keep everything in tablet form (but soluble) and a small number of helper enzymes, perfumes and whiteners. Looks like a teaspoon of NaOH might work justabout as well. :D
When Facebook bans Trump it’s a free speech issue.

When basecamp bans political discussion it’s a… fellowship issue?

Somebody please wake me up when this philosophical nightmare is over.
As mentioned in the article, those tabs are for full-sized dishwashers.

Also IME, cheap dishwasher tablets (e.g. the generic blue/white combo) don't work very well.
A lot of the activists are docile lambs and corporate ladder climbers inside the companies.

Their activism focuses on saying the right words and dis-empower Gen-X and older.
Strange analogy. The Fellowship, after banding together to fight the greatest evil of all time, disbanded a third of the way into the mission to allow the founders to continue the mission alone; while other members went off to overthrow a despot and a shadow ruler or hang out with Ents.

Basecamp, meanwhile, is building good project management tools and privacy focused email ... for lots of money ... while saying don't even TALK about society evils such as deeply entrench racism.

But, sure, let's call the activists "mercenaries".
Too much politics is the stuff that gets one fired. After a few iterations the calibration might be reached.
yeah... you're not wrong. Plastics are basically organic compounds and they screw around with organisms very easily.

Tho asphalt is already made with bitumen (a petroleum product) so it's not like it's THAT much different. Hopefully we aren't concentrating even more problematic compounds than what already existing in the asphalt.
It’s pretty amazing that a list of funny names has become national news. There will always be some set of names that certain cultures (even hyper liberal woke ones) will consider funny. Pointing that out and poking fun doesn’t seem necessarily immoral. For the most part we can’t control what we consider funny.

E.g. I’m sure most woke people who consider themselves allies in the struggle against oppression would consider a name like “Donald Drumpf” funny. That’s just a property of the specific values of that culture. Does it suck for guys named “Donald drumpf”? Sure, but punishing any specific individual for pointing out his name is funny does not negate the fact that the entire culture itself finds it funny. Better for drumpf to know than not know. He could always move or change his name. Less than ideal but wherever you go some name will be considered funny.
Is this a consciously executed strategy on the part of the US, or just an emergent outcome of the economic and policy climate? I used to think the US was able to orchestrate such multi-decade strategies, but observing the country during the last few years, I've become skeptical.
The Bob Dishwasher is an interesting concept. Looking at their website it looks like it would fit 6 plates, 6 cups and a set of utensils. What’s the point of this? If you’re cooking for 6, you would have pots and pans which would have to be hand washed. Is 6 more plates and cups worth going through the effort of loading and turning on a dishwasher? Alternatively, I suppose it is more water efficient..
Weird, I am using Chrome on Android and 99.999% of the time I don't see a popup asking me to enable push notifications.

What websites are you visiting?
You don't really want that though, because the water from the first cycle is washed away relatively quickly.

For good results, there's two releases of detergent, one for the pre wash and one for the main cycle. Detergent pods have kind of ruined the general dual compartment dishwashing ecosystem, though.
It was intentional. I am thinking probabilistically here, and the jury is still out on whether “digital gold” is the use case.
Yep. I purchased some new tablets yesterday (I'd say the most popular ones available) and they were abou 0.12c (€) per tablet. So assuming usage every day of the year (not uncommon in our household) that's €43.80 a year.
I mean he is kinda right about the energy use being "disgusting". Very hard to justify that much juice on literally useless calculations.

Their anger beyond that seems somewhat more deep seated than that though
"On twitter, anonymous interviews, and any other source that I've seen, not one Basecamper has come out in support of Jason and David, and employees seem universally aligned against their actions." Why would they in this cancel culture poison of today - so they can be vilified for not agreeing with some extreme leftist position? More than likely there's a silent majority that DOES align with their action, and that should be OK.
Apks are zip archives. So, naturally, everything they contain is already compressed.

A lot of it, certainly not all of it. If something better exists, we’ll probably move over to it, and the transition period could be turbulent.

Now that Jeff Bezos has retired from running Amazon, it seems he has a lot more time to focus on his other ventures. Ultimately I think that’s a good thing since I believe healthy competition will continue to set the pace for innovation in this space.
Some years ago I had manager that replied to a staff member ”you are paid to work, not to think or speak”. Yep, the company went on to become a billion dollar mega-success and everyone lived happily ever after.

These conclusion forming anecdotes in the small from a single moment in time between don't provide a strong base for causal arguments.
There's an antique store near me than works on consignment. I wonder how all this liability works there. I'd be surprised if the mom and pop are liable for the 300 stalls in the store.
wow - now that you mention it. a smartphone with an eInk display. that would be rad!
There are many such anectodes. For another one - my girlfriend had covid, but no loss of smell or taste, a doctor thought it was a normal infection, so she didn't do any tests (we don't have easy access to tests). When coughing didn't stop, she tested and was positive. I was sleeping with her, she even coughed on my face once, but I didn't have any symptoms. Three weeks later her daughter had loss of smell and taste but no coughing, she tested positive too, I've taken test too but still, my test was negative. When gf was still coughing (before test), we travelled in car with 2 more people, none of them tested positive after that. Consultant from local disease control center said that currently tests will show positive results even for throat infections other than covid. One of my friends said (a rumour) that at those test sites, they don't have enough of thinning agent, so need to thin with physiological salt and then such tests come back positive 7/8 times.

Conclusion: it's all a big mess. When you can't have cold straight facts about transmission, you won't have effective responses.
The heritability estimates have also been done between biological parents, adoptive parents and their children and using comparisons between siblings and half siblings.

There have been many many papers from many angles on this over the years. The high heritability seems to be a well established fact.
Yikes I appear to have picked up some bad info.

This sounds like a good story, but it's written in a way that I'm expected to fill in the background.
> The argument here is that if we evaluate by a metric that benefits the in-group more then the out-group you end up with doing discrimination.

Yes. That's the point. The in group in this case has invested more time. They get more reward. What you're suggesting is rewarding those who have done less more than those who have done more.

Talk about a fucked up sense of equality.
If I had known how much I would enjoy my son’s company once he grew up, I would have tried harder to have more than just the one kid.

I didn’t feel a connection to him until he was almost a year old. Then paternal chemicals kicked in. I began to enjoy being “devoured” by his needs. Which is weird; but true.

Still, being a parent was much more work for my wife than I expected it to be. Nobody tells you how hard it is.

It’s like becoming a monk: you are cut off from your previous social life; your days are spent in menial chores; and you do all this in service of a quasi-divine being.

In Praise of Bitcoin
Surely that must have been sarcasm.
But as you can see from the sixth post here on HN, and all the previous ones that gathered over a freaking thousand of comments, some people just won't let it go.

It's bikeshedding taken to the extreme. Nanoracism leading to microaggressions, leading to DHH planning a genocide, for fuck's sake. This is insane, those people throwing such words around without even knowing what the fuck they are talking about.

And all of this storm in a teapot seems to be a thing people would spend a weekend mulling over and over and over again instead of going outside or reading a nice book, or solving some, you know, real problems.
Who says you cannot be bullish on something that is disgusting? There is a lot of money made with Food, Water, Weapons etc.
If email worked the way those sites do, I'd need a microsoft webmail account to talk to microsoft webmail people. And a gmail account to talk to gmail people. And an apple account to talk to people there. And so on. That would be a much worse experience of email than we have today.

Federation in email is used constantly and ubiquitously. Why would anyone want to turn it off?

Oh, Idunno... How certain are you of this, and why?

Brain computer interfaces… UI's as they exist today are merely an abstraction layer for getting the brain to engage with and process information.
I wouldn't say it helps my career as much as it's pretty much required for the work I do. I don't think my work day is typical for sysadmins, I do quite a bit of support and devops and configuration and deployment along with my normal/typical sysadmin stuff as well. We run everything on Linux/Docker so working on Linux is just the best tool for the job. OSX gets it done as well, just not quite as flawlessly.
I think developers and most users simply don't even notice the problems.

When I say "I can't use program X because the UI/UX sucks, is there any alternative?" people come out and say "I see no problem with program X, I use it everyday and it rocks"
Except it's not mandatory like the Apple's app store is. You could as well distribute your app straight from your website, and some developers actually do that. It's a very important difference and it's one of the main reasons I can't imagine myself using an iPhone.
Which beliefs and opinions? What if I'm arguing that our non-white employees are being passed over for promotions, and our women employees are all chronically underpaid compared to the men? How would that be more anti-fellowship than your fellows not being paid equitably?
Headlines ending in a question mark can be answered "no".
All cool and good, but I'd have stopped at step 1: Considering buying a dish washer with DRMed detergent. Sorry, but rewarding people with such outrageous proposals with a purchase is morally questionable in itself.
Developer quality of life. Lucee and CFWheels gives you the best of both worlds. Also, I hate Ruby syntax. I’d sooner use Golang.
Also, in Chrome Ctrl-Shift-T will not work in private mode however in Firefox it does.
Seems like a solution for liberating money from people with more cash than sense.
Looking for feeback for my new app, Snapstudy
Hi everybody,
I've recently launched an app called Snapstudy, which uses NLP and OCR to generate Gap-filled(e.g The ____ world war began in 1914) and Wh-style questions(E.g Where was Napoleon sent to exile).)

I was wondering whether people could provide me with some feedback as to what can be improved and what could be made better?

Here is link to the site: https://snapstudy.netlify.app/
Here is a video demonstration:

Thanks in advance!
Actual news about hacking! It is interesting that this is in the UK ... i'm fairly sure most rents come with a full-sized dishwaster when furnished and all properties have the plumbing for one. I'm not sure what the market is. Especially that one of the main value adds was "no mess" when our dishwashers all accept pre-form tablets for detergent.

Anyway, I adore these kinds of blog posts. Tinkering, naughtiness and a big dollop of technical knowhow.
Agree about free markets and time. Adam Smith's invisible hand moves slowly. The free market might solve all our problems (including pollution) over time, but our generation (and maybe even the next) may not be alive to see it. And the human casualties may be high. Which is why regulation and subsidies are a practical necessity.
They are excessive but not 'literally useless' - there's clearly a use, it just would be a lot better if that use was being served with less energy.

Not that I particularly like BTC at this point - it has been largely superseded by better projects.
It's easy to make a light OS when no one uses it.
The whole point is removing the need to convert anything.
Have you actually thought about this? Do the math, man. Society can’t function without quite a few young people and not so many old ones. I also would like the population to drop, but it has to be done carefully.
Yeah at that point I said "Hang on wasn't there a Cory Doctorow story about this?" out loud
So what? It exists, and it's decentralised, and it solves many people's needs (and yes, these needs are usually criminal in nature, so they are not even supposed to be in the interest of civilization). Outlaw it and this is all they want - because it means unchecked existence.
The elites are disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization.
This should be the first example in an anti-patterns/dark patterns book.
Is there a book on this guy? Fascinating stuff and I'd love to dig deeper.
Shared libraries are a necessity on Linux, because Linux users pride themselves on the efficiency of their systems, and if two programs used separate copies of the same library, that would be wasteful.

The exception that everyone could get onboard with would be a common API that all programs use. So, for instance, if everyone could agree to use GTK instead of Qt, then GTK could just be shipped as standard on all Linux distros and there would be no problem of bloat - all programs need GTK.

But that goes against the Linux philosophy of modularity & configurability, so that will never happen either.

So you need to strike a happy medium. Make an attempt to use a shared library, but if your users don't have it, download it live.
Ah, sweet logic.
Bingo. The mods are asleep at the wheel on this one.
You totally misunderstood my point. I wasn't talking about backdoors or supply chain attacks. When I say that a dependency downloads and executes random shit from Internet I meant it as a behavior intended to fulfill its function. The problem is that this is generally acceptable in nodejs/NPM ecosystem. In other words, the gap in dependency hygiene between nodejs/NPM and other ecosystems is huge, and users of it seems not to bother.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that mistaking safety margins for inefficiencies can be deadly.

"I think therefore I am." -- Descartes

Descartes was a deep skeptic and this statement was the one thing he could irrefutably believe must be true. Everything else is various degrees of speculation.
I disagree, the computational expensive aspect is the fact that you are trying to find the inverse of the double hash.
Hence you are forced to brute force.

If the problem was adjusted where it wasn't using a double hash, and had some simple two-way function than it wouldn't be considered computationally expensive. That is irrespective of the length of the nonce. E.G if it was just a how much do I add to get a nonce of length x.

The complexity here is caused by the double hash.

The length of the nonce is just an even further scaling of an already difficult problem.
The screws are the epitome of Apple attempts to circumvent repair/maintenance of their product. There is zero reason to 'invent' them aside being a barrier for a normal human to open the thing. If they wanted decent screws that don't cam out - use the torx instead. (Phillips are overall bad screws, designed to prevent overtorque).

I'd guess the 1st pentalobe screwdrivers are machined initially.
In my faith tradition, G-d defiantly does have a sense of humor.

Why are all these billionaires singling out bitcoin?
It sounded perfectly reasonable to me bordering on "blindingly obvious"

Also "racist" is a weaponized word and I think the use of it here weakens any case you might have had.
When do we stop this madness.
I wont fault people for lacking a basic understanding of science but at least using basic fact checking should be doable.

Like maybe google "microwave attacks snopes" or something:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/do-sonic-weapons-explain-t... (Written in 2017(!) but hey just lets just warm up the story again and again).

I am sorry for being snarky but between having to explain grown ass adults why they should wear masks during a pandemic I am tired for arguing against all the misinformation.

The average person has no idea how microwaves work so they are basically magic and easily to make some scary story up. Why change the time tested cold war approach of just throwing ridiculous lies against any perceived enemy of the US of A and see what sticks. If it doesn't stick the first time, just repeat and repeat it. The more often people hear it the more believable it seems.
There was at least one small claims case (exactly about the unexplainedness of the termination), where in the end Google produced logs that showed that the ToS was violated.

Is the quality of life and are the health outcomes the same as those of the countries they're being compared to for thier middle class? Is it not a relative term?

"According to The Economist, 78 million of India's population are considered middle class as of 2017, if defined using the cutoff of those making more than $10 per day, a standard used by the India's National Council of Applied Economic Research"

So, apparently no probably not to my first question and yes to the second.
I would have loved something like that when I was a student and/or when I was single.

I used to have breakfast on the way, lunch at the Uni/work, and a small dinner. 6 plates is therefore close to what I'd use in a week. It's also close to what I'd use nowadays if I weren't still in home office. And while I do have enough room now for a full-sized dishwasher, that wasn't always the case.
The ROI for the effort probably wasn’t that great. But I can respect the obsession for the hack all the same. Sometimes it’s not about the dollars and cents, and if you let it be a hobby versus work that helps make it worth it.
The macOS/Windows term for those distractions is "applications".
That's a survivor bias. Business owners are free to run their business how they like, that doesn't mean they can pretend they hold the universal truth.

There are plenty alternatives that work. It's about politics, in the end. It's ok to disagree.
If the attack takes years or decades to have full cognitive detrimental effect, then it makes sense to attack the currently low-to-mid level staff.

That's a shitty UX, not UI.
They all do, through kernel patches, funding, open-source releases, talks and a lot more. Google especially has done a lot.

But that doesn’t change the fact that the operating system Facebook, Google or Android uses is an implementation detail of the main service they offer.
Not exactly sure what you're referring to (what do "this" and "story" refer to?), but for example, for California, I think the relevant clause for the 'major threat' thing I mentioned is this:

(d) (1) Subdivision (a) does not apply to the disclosure or distribution of a confidential communication pursuant to any of the following:

A party to a confidential communication recording the communication for the purpose of obtaining evidence reasonably believed to relate to the commission by another party to the communication of a crime as specified in Section 633.5.

It's not that the word "privilege" is triggering people, it's that your comment is exactly the sort of dismissal that leads to the sentiment I described.

If someone complains you're too loud, saying "you just don't like what you're hearing" will just further alienate you from people who like what you're saying but don't like the volume.
Okay what's the worst to happen while opening, if one is moderately cautious and don't rip off the flex cables?

I am in no way defending Apple's policies that are openly hostile to repair and maintenance, yet I'd expect most people to be able to open a Mac, if they read a guide/watch a video and they have the correct tools.

I do maintain/install/repair most of stuff home - the worst offenders are the ones that consider epoxy a viable engineering tool for fastening. Macs at least don't do that... yet. Also they don't contain built-in mechanical points of failure (printers are notoriously bad when it comes to weak springs and certain plastic gears; I don't consider having too short flex cable 'mechanical')
