I had the same problem in academia. They asked me what I would need to get that project evolving (and thus funded), at that time a single medium xp dev, and the salary range was the same as their tenure track professors. Then they ask if a student can do it instead... There is no way anything can be done in mainland US in term of software for institutions that can't pay. I know places where they hire companies oversea to do their dev, bit thats complicated with federal funding.

This is not that hard to do and can happen naturally without overthinking it. I used to do a variation of this when I was single. I used to eat the eat the same breakfast (blended milkshakes with fruits/green veggies) and the same dinner (salmon/slice of bread with tomato and walnuts).
The key was

a) Eat to live instead of living to eat

b) Being too lazy to commit more than 5-10 minutes for food preparation.

c) Being single where I could own my decisions and "weirdness".
Good find! Some of these products though…

> Signal does stupid stuff sometimes, so that makes WhatsApp okay

no, it makes the people who recommends the switch (to their non-tech friends) look bad. The majority of people don't care about these sorts of issues regarding privacy or open-ness. "Normies" care about the usability, reliability and speed.

I had convinced a few (non-tech) friends who used to use whatsapp to switch over to Signal. Then signal went down, and they immediately switched back, and that downtime made it look like i made a bad recommendation. Signal also has a bigger spam problems than whatsapp (you get these fake Amazon people trying to spam/phish you on signal, which never happened with whatsapp). I will no longer be trying to get people onto signal, not because i don't like signal (i use it myself with friends that do remain), but alas, whatsapp is still the "main" messaging app.

So in all, the dominance of whatsapp is due to their reliability and momentum - no amount of privacy intrusion is going to change that. So signal needs to up their game, but i fear the opportunity has passed already.
Until recently I didn't realize that dirty bombs were considered to only be marginally more dangerous than conventional bombs... it's interesting how the psyop component of the concept of a dirty bomb is kind of played up a bit even by our own government.

I think that most rich-country urbanites and suburbanites are spoiled for choice in things to experiences. It wasn't that long ago that most people hadn't traveled much further than the next town over, let alone another state or country. Logistics has gotten to the point where its practical to have most everything everywhere that lots of people are.

Life before plenty was hard and boring by our standards. You can still see this in poorer, remote areas -- my experience is mainly with the American midwest and random foreign travel. There simply isn't much to do (or eat, or see), unless you're close to a big city.
Thank you for your advice. I can probably find another job. Meanwhile I have to see how to maintain this one.

No, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. But I do remember my grandparents eating such things in the early 1960s. And British cuisine (?) has a long (centuries) history of potted meats and shrimps, which I guess these are trying to emulate. A bit like the French and pate.
But trustless models need some kind of hard-to-forge proof. In the case of gold it's the chemical element. In the case of banknotes, it's really laborious printing (and much more). In the case of bitcoin, it's hard-to-find sha hashes.

What would prevent a trustless digital coin from being forged?

It's by far easier if we have trusted parties, like with SSL certificates,, or other digitally signed and cross-signed stuff. It of course puts such cash under control of the Fed. But it's sort of expected of a national currency.

Also, fully traceable by design digital currency is very unlike untraceable cash. Of course, no government, no law-enforcement agency would miss a chance to make all financial transactions visible. Of course it's only to prevent money laundering from terrible crimes like sex slavery and contract murders, but the ability to know e.g. the sources and targets of any donations would be a nice side benefit.

Im nowhere near the extreme of this guy but I cook a vegetable soup and eat it 4-6 days a week every week for dinner. I save the calories and good (edit: interesting) cooking for restaurants.

I mess around with the soup occasionally trying new flavoring or techniques but its the same damn soup and I like it. Its easy to make, keeps well, costs nothing relative to output, and leaves me time to think about other things other than food. Also its very healthy.

At this point its just a habit. Sunday or Monday evening is soup making time. Two hours nets me two weeks of food.

There is a strong selection bias involved here, but it is not the one you claim. The selection bias is: people who care strongly about perceived injustices and political failures devote their time and attention to politics, and people who devote their time and attention to politics (especially listening to a broad range of people in their communities) end up learning about what isn’t working for people and how people are suffering.

Then those political actors (organizers, activists, political staffers, policy analysts, campaign staff, journalists, NGO staff, ...) put effort into sharing their message and ideas and some e.g. end up getting elected.

If large numbers of people who “sound like your mom and aunts” get heavily involved in their local and regional political process, some of them will end up with their faces on cable news or whatever. It’s not like typical media outlets dial random telephone numbers until they hit on interview subjects who match the ideology of some secret cabal.

For better or worse though, in general older first-generation immigrants (of whatever background) are less involved in politics than more established groups. This comes down substantially to their own preferences about what to spend their time on, as well as cultural comfort/fluency, etc.
I'm not sure how this is different than what I said, other than being much, much longer?
Meta: I’m tempted to flag any broad characterization of the human population as stupid. This is mostly because such a statement clearly violates the central limit theorem. However, such a statement might be very accurate in specific cases of things that all humans are truly bad at, or the notion that crowds tend to adopt patterns of behavior that might reflect lower intelligence than a sample of individuals from the crowd. I think it particularly feels inappropriate if a comment is perceived to suggest that the negative characterization of ‘the public’ does not apply to the commenter, and no support is suggested as to why they would be exceptional.

Kotlin doesn't have immutable collection types in the standard library (it lets you use a read-only interface but the collection is really still mutable and will be seen as such by any Java code), so if you want actually immutable collections you have to use non-standard collections, and since Kotlin doesn't have typeclasses or implicit conversions it's difficult to interoperate between any non-standard collection library and other Kotlin code.
A useful blog entry nonetheless. Thank you.

I think there are so many side-channels we don't know them all. In the limit I think the classification for side-channels has at least four axes:

1. What data can be leaked? (scope)

2. How difficult is it to construct a gadget?

3. What is the signal-to-noise ratio of the channel?

4. What is the bandwidth of the channel?

The original 3 Spectre variants were basically "whole process or whole of memory, easy, tens of dB, and many kilobytes a second".

If you're looking for binary safety w.r.t side channels, I think modern hardware cannot actually guarantee it.

Layman's take: they oversell the economic/environmental benefits of this, but you have to market your work somehow. I love the idea though and really don't care about that anyway. It just makes my imagination wander.

What if you could give someone a box of surprise pasta with a secret message? Hearts, a message like "LOL", or even something vulgar.

Could you use this to produce breads which fold up in amusing ways in the oven as they bake? A pizza with a wrinkled crust, or that produces little pockets for sauce?

Any other ideas?
Ask HN: How to return large response over an API?
I am using a third party service which would transcribe an audio file and give me the entire transcription in a json format, I would read this and make a new json file by transforming it and send to s3. I am using python/django for it along with json, requests and boto3 module, however I noticed as the application kept running the memory consumption kept increasing.

To fix this I had to write it as a streaming response to a json file and use ijson (https://pypi.org/project/ijson/) to read the content which decreased memory utilisation a lot. So while looking around, I found many people had the same issue, so this got me thinking how would I have sent this content if i had built the third party api myself.

Some previous questions asked on stackoverflow,

We have a kerbside collection 2 times a year for "large rubbish" removal by the local council. You could mistake it for a street festival at times as you see people walking down the road with what they find of use/value and people in utes or towing trailers picking up an old couch they can use.

then a few days later, they council picks up whats left and disposes of it.

we have a local e-waste facility that also 2 times a year hold a free drop off weekend so households can drop off old batteries/car batteries/lights and such that either are not part of the council pickup or could result in broken glass etc in public spaces.

we initially trialed a giveaway/barter event which had limited success (terrible timing) and the council took what was left for disposal and were happier about it being in a carpark than the usual cleanup of a swapmeet on a grassed field.

This in particular sounds like a fantastic idea.

One of the more out-there leftist ideas I've heard proposed is a monetary system where everyone gets a basic income but all personal bank accounts have a negative interest rate, to disincentivize accumulating wealth for wealth's sake. This seems like a simpler and more reasonable version of that.
Tests for that mutation?

I have a condition that could be caused by mitochondrial energy problems. I also have horrific migraines. Also an extremely hypersensitive nervous system. Some pills I take at 1/10th the lowest dose and still can barely handle the side effects.

Would love to explore other avenues.
I read that too, and I am mystified that they could make such a broad claim, when clearly their technique applies only very narrowly, i.e. to a process leaking its own secrets by encoding them in its own timing behavior. It's very poorly worded.

Hard off is really good, and there's nothing comparable in the US. You can pretty much get every recent model of cellphone, iPad, Mac, etc. in like-new condition, at a fraction of the price of new. The stuff in this photo album is the "junk" section at the back of the store, and it's still way better than what you'd find at vintage store in the US.

In general, vintage stores in Japan are amazing. I don't know how they manage to find such a huge quantity of like-new stuff.
So far we don't have a carbon price that is anywhere close to the cost of sequestration, so I'm not surprised that neither a lot of sequestration nor a quick reduction in emissions is going on.
Yeah, my comments about the author were mis-placed. This version redacts the source material in a way that comes across as nicer, although it retains the use of "n00b" to identify who is asking the question.

It's such a binary view; it's either "good" or "bad". No in between. No nuance. This is one of my main gripes with the Free Software crowd to be honest (and the part of HN that overlaps with it).

Is Signal perfect? No. But overall, it's not bad, and if we compare them to the average mobile phone app filled to the brim with dark patterns and tracking to the point where Apple felt the desire to build an entire feature to prevent this, they're almost mother Theresa.

I completely agree.

I recommend decreasing your gadgets to just a phone (for when you go out) and a tablet or laptop for home. That is, no TV, no stereo, no games console. Assuming you live on your own, you can do all the same things you did before, just move your laptop screen to a comfortable distance. I suppose you could buy headphones if you also want loud audio, but personally I prefer to go out to a bar or nightclub or movie theater to get that experience.

You can also optimize most of the furniture away. The last few places I lived I just had a mattress in the main/living room and cooking supplies in the kitchen. Not only is the up-front cost less, but you can live in a much smaller apartment, cleaning the whole place is much faster, moving house is easy. Personally I like to work lying on my stomach, so I don't need a desk, but I suppose you could get a small table and chair if your body isn't comfortable lying down or sitting on the floor for a lot of the day. More available floor space means it's easier to pace or work out too.

Other recommendations... Best to live somewhere without carpet, so you can clean it with a broom - saves buying a vacuum cleaner. You can use toilet paper for the bathroom and also in the kitchen and also to blow your nose. You can use shampoo for everything in the bathroom, including washing your hair, hands, body and clothes (if your house doesn't have a washing machine). You can use dishwashing liquid to clean most surfaces in the house, as well as your dishes. You can avoid using lights for most of the day/night by keeping windows uncovered and using the ambient light from outside.

The upsides are exactly as you say - since you're not spending as much time and money maintaining your house, you have more time to go out and visit interesting places, and you can spend more money at nice restaurants or splurge for a comfortable hotel if you want to enjoy some luxury every now and then. But I find I don't really want to. Life is a lot more enjoyable, in my opinion. Way less stress than cleaning and maintaining a bunch of stuff.

I remember trying to pick up a piece of stainless steel "pipe" there. The piece was about 18" in diameter, maybe 24-36" long. The "pipe walls" were nearly 2" thick.

At the time, I could lift one end of an upright piano in the sense of getting both wheels off the floor.

I had never experienced the sense of utter futility before trying to lift that pipe. The complete and overwhelming sense that I would never be able to make it move even 1mm off the floor.
> I'd love to find other areas of my life that can be similarly optimized. I have hope for bill management services to take the annoyance out of juggling payments etc., and roboinvestors or similar automated financial services.

You’re probably familiar with auto bill pay (I think most services have it, and many banks offer it as well), and index fund investing with automatic transfers, so I’m guessing those don’t solve the problems you’re talking about. I’m interested what you mean then.

Still puzzles me. Businesses are all about relationships. Building a business based on this level of hostility must be exhausting. The level of staff turnover and overall churn due to trust issues must be huge and they must haemorrage employees continuously. So much bad will being created for short term gains. They then complain when they get bad employees or can't find good ones.

So strange. But not unexpected. Its obviously profitable, right?
