I guess the first question is: why do you care if what you are doing is in some sense end to end encryption? End to end encryption has a reputation of being hard to use as it normally has an identity verification requirement. Why would you want that association?

It appears that there is only one "end" here. So I don't see that there is any reason to make some sort of distinction between what you are doing and just straightforward and secure encryption.

What you are doing sounds more like this:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_encryption
That is what it is doing right now.

But it is doing that in response to evolutionary pressure because when a good fraction of the people are recovered or vaccinated then an R0 of 3.0 doesn't work as well when its chasing after those remaining susceptible people.

There'll be an upper limit to how much it can increase its binding to ACE / viral load / R0 though. Once you hit that point infections should fall off a cliff. Then the virus will start to come under pressure to achieve immune escape.

To really achieve immune escape the virus should have to make costly mutations. It shouldn't be able to pick the most optimized spike conformation, it'll have to pick a spike conformation that immune systems don't recognize.

It can't be ruled out that the virus has so much "room" to mutate on the spike protein that high virulence total escape mutants could be formed, but probably not. There are estimated to be 20 epitopes on the spike that the immune system recognizes and to really escape it needs to mutate sufficient to change all of them. Some of them are likely to be expensive to the virus. And if we get booster shots like I said to box it in more, then it should run out of room and start to mutate more towards stealth and less towards virulence.

And there's historical parallels to 1918. At first the H1N1 virus came back in waves that became more virulent. Then once more than half the world had been infected it started to come back as seasonal influenza and spread endemically in humans until 1957. Some of that is likely partial immunity from previously infected individuals, some of that is probably that the virus stated to favor evolving to escape detection and not for virulence and transmissibility.
This sounds amazing for content creators, wedding photographers, videographers etc
I totally understand that. And I knew, when making the decision to not do any integrations, that there's a ton of people just like you that value automating everything as much as possible.

But I also made the bet that there would be people just like me who value entering things manually. Certainly far fewer people, but hopefully still people.

In any case, I also hope that the app you described eventually gets built; certainly never hurts to have more privacy-friendly options available!
Oops, yeah I mixed up some numbers there, would have to be a mustang loaded with options for my comparison.

You shouldn't ask your mom about the viability of an idea because she will be biased towards thinking good things about you (and your ideas). Similarly (sort of...), Hacker News will be biased towards wanting your product and not say anything bad about it.
I think we need two rules for the modern information economy to ensure competition.

I think it should be illegal to deliberately interfer with a devices owner's ability to run the software of their choice. This means that owners of iPhones, PlayStations, Switches, Tractors, Cars, etc should not have to treat the manufacturer as an adversary in their ownership of the devices.

I also think that content exclusivity contracts should be illegal and that all content creators that license content to a service should be required to offer reasonably similar licensing terms to that service's competitors.
yes, not too many people tinkered with their computers then. But the real question is: how many of those who tinkered then, would tinker now if they were born in the 00s? Probably less then if they were born in the 80s, just because e.g. ipads or smartphones are not to be tinkered with. I mean many pupils have problems just working at a laptop (e.g. understanding the file system) because they never did it at home where all they might know are smartphones. So there definitely is a very different technological structure today than back then.
It’s not a do everything machine: I can’t use it as a tablet. On the other hand what’s holding my iPad back from becoming a do-everything machine is

A) sandboxing, which they shouldn’t change or at best streamline to allow better app interoperability (the current share approach is laughably bad)

B) what is allowed on the AppStore. This is purely a policy issue. Why isn’t there an isolated XCode that at least lets me develop iPad apps? The MacBook Air is a $1000 work horse, the iPad is a pricey web browsing machine/toy. Save for, say artists and even they are extremely limited. Want to create a 3D model using several apps? Good luck with that
I think the market for this product is very small.

This is totally plausible and I imagine some manufacturers will try it. Alternatively they can simply make the TV not work unless it has been connected to WiFi...I believe there may already be some sets that do this.
What does that have to do with it being discrete?
There are tons. The ones I most often see mentioned are: zod, io-ts, runtypes. I’m at the design stage of building yet another, not because the existing ones aren’t great, but because I have a different set of requirements that none really meet:

- Documentation-driven: types are defined by JSON Schema

- Automatically generated documentation (which you get for free with this design)

- Flexible API: some people prefer the io-ts FP style, others prefer try/catch; some prefer callable types, others prefer reference access for primitives like io-ts.

- Interfaces designed to integrate with an ecosystem of tools with a similar documentation-driven philosophy, for example an HTTP API library which automatically generates OpenAPI docs (which I’m also working on).
Another really good example of that is SCP-1609: http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-1609
Short, fun 3 minute survey and a prize draw for £50 Amazon Voucher OC
We’re Olly and Joe, and over the last year we’ve been working on an app called Skillchef (Beta).

We were frustrated with conventional ways of learning how to cook, specifically how you would learn to cook recipes but not actually learn the underlying skills.
Our idea was to design an app that makes cooking fun, using gamification, and that teaches cooking skills, as well as showing you some great recipes, think Duolingo but for cooking.

Until now we’ve only tested the app with family and friends, so we would really like to get your feedback and establish whether the app is useful and relevant. This feedback will determine whether we continue working on the app.

We would love it if you could test out our app and complete a survey, in exchange for being in a competition to win a £50 Amazon voucher. We’re looking for 100 people (give or take) from all walks of life and cooking abilities to try our app out and give us some feedback

What’s in it for you?

A chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher, for every 50 people who complete it

Learn some cooking skills and great recipes

Hopefully you’ll be part of something big! :)

Install the app - search for Skillchef on the android app store, or download it from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skillchef....

Try it out for a bit, whether you want to make pizza, breakfast or just learn how to cut an onion properly

Let us know what you think with a very short (3 minute) survey. We'll email you the link to the survey.

To create an account on the app you’ll need to give your first name and your email. We adhere to GDPR and you can find more information about this in the app.

Contacting us

If at any point you want to contact us for feedback, you need help or anything else, you can reply to this post or you can email us at feedback@skillchef.io

Thank you in advance, and I really hope that with your feedback we can create something both useful and relevant to you all.

Ironically though, in order to execute something, you have to create an idea for how you will execute it.

Somewhat of a false dichotomy.
Is there such a thing as LineageOS for SmartTVs?

Could that be a way to prevent sneaky services from pushing information you don't want out of your TV?
if it is the US govt giving UBI to its citizens, then they should give it to all their citizens, no matter where they are?

The US govt, for reference, taxes the income of US citizens wherever they are in the world..
Did you ask for a refund? I was a very happy Coda user for many years. You sound irrational and angry over a small subjective thing. I'd buy "horribly irresponsible" about your comment.

I had a friend who worked at GM around the volt time and it was "common knowledge" that it was all just a boondoggle/joke/exercise.

I think a HUGE force for innovation in silicon valley was simply the graph of moores law.

The practical and financial considerations had a "common knowledge" roadmap to reduce risk and people would race to keep up instead of plod along.
As a semi idea person, I agree with you, most of my fellow idea people do not realize that importance of execution and it's a lesson I've learnt the hard way.

Execution is the most important thing :)
As I commented below in another thread: If the demand is high enough, a custom controller can be developed to match controller on-board Apple Pro XDR while keeping the price point significantly cheaper.

>now all the kids use Figma instead.

This is only true if in your entire world bubble Photoshop only exists to design mobile UIs. Figma, like Sketch before it, is a simply a part of Photoshop's total market. There's no replacement for Photoshop yet for creative agencies, photographers, and content studios.
It's a problem contributing to Bezos' enviousness that the article was talking about. SpaceX gets all of the glory because they are actually doing things, so they are in the news and building brand recognition (for free!!). Hardly anyone has even heard of Blue Origin except mostly for people who already had an interest and seek it out. How many times has Blue Origin made it to the front page of HN vs SpaceX, which is a niche news site of higher-than-average technical readers?

> Will SpaceX start advertising during launches? Maybe...up until then being known to the average person is not an advantage.

Each time SpaceX is talked about, it's effectively a free advertisement for SpaceX. Look at all the talk about StarLink. Have you seen any paid ads? They don't need to, because they have been building their brand recognition for free with every launch for several years and people are excited about it and talk about it. Bezos company just does not have the same caché.
Yeah, if you're in the habit of taking such trips, I think I'd recommend considering very carefully whether you want to start reading through that wiki. There are some real-life, no fooling psychologically-hazardous things to read on there.
Here's a quick blog post with a link to more depth, on how UBI can be good for the economy. https://www.scottsantens.com/the-cost-of-universal-basic-inc...

In computing terms, I like to think that monetary flows are how the market shares information. So having more people "in the game" will increase the fidelity of the information, opening new markets. For example, discount retail might be able to serve more specialty niches.
Actually it was two weeks - I mistyped. And no, I did not have non-gc-language experience but tbh Rust feels like a gc-language to me? I don't "feel" like I'm writing C code you know?
It's not a lot of money. It's $1.8 Trillion a year if we gave it to every American. The GDP of the USA is $21 Trillion, so we are talking about 10% of our GDP going to eliminate poverty.

Remember, in 2008, we gave about $17 Trillion to the banks.
> Soliciting donations is an entire profession unto itself in the non-profit world. Ironically the practice is also called "Development".

I've always just known it as "fundraising".

Maybe there's a joke somewhere that flew over my head.
What is "information"? Is it a physical thing?
The definition:

"Serious adverse events are defined as: • Death; • A life-threatening adverse event; • Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; • A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; • A congenital anomaly/birth defect; • An important medical event that based on appropriate medical judgement may jeopardize the individual and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above."

So 4 out of the 6 criteria are, in fact, life-threatening, one is "your life is permanently altered, sorry", and the final one is irrelevant.

(and no, despite your link to the other thread, "persistent or significant incapacity" does not include "a sick day")

> And there was no pattern either.

They didn't release the raw data, so there's no way for you to know that.
IE was used because it was a clear demonstration of MS's abuse of their market share and monopoly position to stifle competition. If they'd integrated their office applications in a similar fashion, spending billions of dollars on development and advertising only to release it for free and forced OEMs to not install a third party office application suite with strong arm tactics, that's what we would have seen.

The browser was not special, the abuse was the issue and the browser case was solid to use as a central claim against MS.

And this bears repeating again and again:

The browser was not and is not special. It does not matter. It was the abuse that was at issue, not the browser itself. The browser was a symptom of the abuse. Again, the browser was not the issue, only a symptom of abuse of their monopoly position.

Any claims against Apple about the Safari browser on mobile being like the IE situation on Windows is the result of a shallow reading of the case.
Why does it need to be 1000% more entertaining?

Let's take 50" TVs instead. I initially used smaller ones because I don't recall many people having TVs like that in 1998, but the 1998 ad doesn't have 32" TVs and the modern website doesn't have 27" TVs in stock.

50" is one size that Best Buy carried in both 1998 and today. So we can compare like for like.

Today's 50" LCD should be no less entertaining than a 50" CRT from 1998, right? I'm not claiming it is more entertaining, just that it isn't less. Today's 50" costs $330 at Best Buy. 1998's 50" costs $1500 at Best Buy in raw, un-adjusted dollars.

You're getting a 78% discount without making any inflation or hedonistic adjustment whatsoever. You can play pretend in fairy land and say that inflation doesn't exist... and you get to enjoy the same TV plus have spare dollars to spend on other entertainment.

Actually... maybe the the modern, cheaper TV is infinity times more entertaining. After all, a TV with nothing to watch isn't very useful. Your old TV provides little value except as a conversation piece when guests come over (if you don't enjoy free OTA content). On the other hand, with the new TV, you can spend 3x on content what you spent on the TV itself.
Electric cars and vertical rocket landings were ideas you could show would work eventually with a little napkin math. It is a good critique of humanity that so many "experts" neglected to do that napkin math and just declare it impossible.

Oh really?

_The Innovator's Dilemma_, written 20 years ago, includes a chapter based on an industry analysis that said that on current technology trends, mass electric cars would come viable around 2020. Guess what? Around 2020 mass electric cars became viable! Elon Musk figured out that high end electric sports cars could become viable earlier, and built a company around it.

How about those reusable rockets? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reusable_launch_system documents a history of attempts at making reusable systems literally from the dawn of the Space Age. Everyone knew that in theory it should be possible. The problem was that in practice they didn't work well enough. (For example the Shuttle wound up costing more per "reusable launch" than an expendable rocket would have.) What SpaceX perfected is a vertical suicide burn. It is called a suicide burn because there is no margin of error, and any mistakes /will/ kill you. But it is also the most efficient way to land the rocket. Nobody did it before Musk because nobody was willing to trust their software control system that much. And even still, when humans take a trip on Dragon we /don't/ trust their skills at a suicide burn for the return. We instead parachute into the ocean, just like Alan Shepherd did 60 years ago. (Elon hopes, of course, that Starship will change that.)

So your comment critiquing humanity by critiquing all of the experts who failed to do back of the napkin math showed more about your ignorance than the ignorance of the experts.
There is an even better thing.

If I give everyone $1k/m for free, I know a good percentage is going towards housing, food, and transportation.

Why not just control those items more? Why give out cash when we know all the landlords will just up the rent accordingly?

Better to have good housing construction policies, good food distribution policies, and transportation as well.

Then we can give out credits to everyone.
Helium (HNT) is a competitor in this space, and does pay out (in their crypto token of course, though it has been doing very well lately). We have one at my house, and it has been making several thousand a month in tokens.

That is extremely fucked up. If a family member accidently killed themselves trying to jerk it there'd at least be some sort of closure, if they supposedly killed themselves people would be running around in circles trying to figure out how they'd missed the signs, what impact they could have had on the person, etc.
This is inspiring. It's great to see that the money is used as capital to improve themselves and increase their chances of long-term prosperity. This makes me even more excited to see what further research illustrates with implementing similar programs.
I'd speculate that without a CEO at all, it would become Lord of the Flies for any of the other executives and the effects of this would ripple into the rest of the company culture, making the company an incredibly toxic place to work.

Not saying that's worse than a CEO who takes enormous profits for his or herself, AND is toxic. Just that there's value in good leadership
It is in the same sense that entropy is a physical thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory
There are very different kinds of outdoors. A megacity urban area with packed sidewalks in literal urban canyons is one thing. A suburban town's sidewalks where I pass ~1 other person (on the other side of the street) every 5 blocks is another kind of outdoors. I'd wear an N95 in the former but not in the later.
I thought it was going to be cool. Hold up your phone, a HUD pops up showing things you can do for money, like fix a pothole. But it's just an elevator pitch to be part of the team. SUX
> And encryption your data doesn't help if you don't have backups.

Actually, it does. "We'll delete your data." is not the only ransomware threat - the other one that's not quite as big, but growing, is "We'll leak your data."

Backups prevent denial. Encryption prevents dissemination.
This term bothers me. Isn't every single human neuro-distinct? Everyone deviates from the average/the norm in some way.

If you mean Asperger's/autism, that's a specific thing, and I would be happy to think there's lots of them/us here.
Everyone in the industry is compelled to use Apple. And I fucking hate every moment I have to touch an iOS device because of people like you. Everytime someone gifts me an iOS device I know I'm just chucking it into a drawer cause it's a useless toy that can't run half the things I actually want to run on it. I want the freedom to run what I see fit on my own computers and it's because of people like you who think they know better that I can't.

And yea I have to use iOS for work. My industry requires me to know how it works inside and out. People saying it's not a monopoly are just spreading lies. iOS is not a monopoly the day I can safely ignore it and not be penalized for it.

From my perspective you're inhibiting my freedom to run what I damn well please on my hardware and yea that's hating freedom. Any real techie would be fighting for more freedom.
I don't think discussing the scope or frequency of a(n alleged) problem is "whataboutism". From your link:

> It is not merely the changing of a subject ("What about the economy?") to deflect away from an earlier subject as a political strategy; it’s essentially a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.

The comment you replied to doesn't attempt to change the subject (the subject is identical), and doesn't accuse other countries of worse, or more egregious conduct, but (again) identical conduct and the accusation levied isn't an "unconnected offense" but is (again) identical.

Drawing comparisons can definitely be used as a misleading rhetorical device but it's not always the case that drawing comparisons is a misleading rhetorical device. I think comparisons, contrasting examples, and even tangents drive a lot of interesting conversation on HN.
