Yes. The locked-down-ness of consoles is exactly why I game on a PC and not on them.

About half of Belarus's trade is with Russia. All this would accomplish is making it 90%+ and deepen ties with Russia. Might as well suggest having Russia annex Belarus as a response to the situation.

50% of all customers is way too much for most developers to be able to give up. And your arguments that gaining freedom will require losing privacy still haven't been convincing.
No one is holding a gun to farmers' heads forcing them to buy GMO seeds. If a particular kind of seed doesn't increase their profit they won't buy it. The older non-GMO seeds will still be around. They won't be outlawed.

So, the scenario you seem to be thinking of is that GMOs will drive down the price of agricultural commodities, so that farmers who don't avail themselves of them will be unable to compete. But this argument "proves too much": it's an argument not against GMOs, but against ANY agricultural technology that boosts yields and reduces costs. Presumably the Green Revolution is not something we should object to because food prices declined.

I think you are on to something in understanding the anti-GMO motivation in Europe, though. Farmers don't want to have to compete against the more efficient large scale farmers in the US. Anti-GMOism is a kind of camouflaged protectionism.
There seems to be a critical role of consequence-free exploration (or at least consequence-reduced) in creativity.

Richard Feynman's commentary on being burned out and playing with ideas of spinning plates, which culminated in his Nobel Prize award, comes to mind. Recently featured on HN (and something of a perennial favourite): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931359

You'll find similar observations regarding corporate research and development. See David Hounshell's work on R&D at DuPont: Science and Corporate Strategy: Du Pont R&D 1902-1980, originally published in the 1980s.

https://www.worldcat.org/title/science-and-corporate-strateg...

Similar stories exist for AT&T's Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, IBM Research, and even Ford Motor Company's research division. In the case of the latter, Henry Ford (in)famously gave his engineers significant discretion, but somewhat-less-than-optimal equipment, the latter apparently a spur to creativity in order to overcome limitations.

Geoffrey West has discussed this regarding the Santa Fe Institute, I believe in the Q&A of this presentation: https://youtube.com/watch?v=w-8sbSPf4ko (At 1:09:00)

West quotes the late Max Perutz's guidelines for organizing research, in full:

Impishly, whenever he was asked whether there are simple guidelines along which to organise research so that it will be highly creative, he would say: no politics, no committees, no reports, no referees, no interviews; just gifted, highly motivated people picked by a few men of good judgment. Certainly not the way research is usually run in our fuzzy democracy but, from a man of great gifts and of extremely good judgment, such a reply is not elitist. It is simply to be expected, for Max had practised it and shown that this recipe is right for those who, in science, want to beat the world by getting the best in the world to beat a path to their door.

http://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/feb/07/guardianobituari...

As an anti-creative environment, the most effective obstruction is to ensure that everything is not only consequential, but a path to failure. This tends to emerge in oppressive and excessively bureaucratic environments. John Cleese outlines the general parameters toward the end of this presentation: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pb5oIIPO62g

The start-up world seems to me to increasingly exemplify the high-consequence, no-win environment.

>All that matters is the valid history with the largest weight (longest chain rule in PoW).

No, that exactly the believe that comes from BTCs implementation and while it may be true for BTC its completely irrelevant for other systems.

Imagine there is a room full of people all have a paper with the exact same transactions in order on it.
Now a new person joins and copies someones paper and then verifies all Tx. Ok, now he only has the chain for one person that's not enough he needs the chain form as much other people as possible to assure he has the longest.
Its perfectly fine to ask the others to only tell him the hash of the whole thing to see if he has the same chain.

So why even copy the chain first he could just start asking for the hash of the whole thing and if they all have the same there is no point to copy the chain.

He just needs to copy the last state (balances) so he can add Tx as well.
(BTC does not have accounts with balances so BTC does not have the concept of "only the last state" but instead of the whole chain only the ends of the tree can be used to reduce the size. but again this is ONLY relevant for BTC and BTC clones/forks its NOT a property of DLTs in general)
Hopefully as IPv6 takes over, the contamination effect due to some unknown party who might once have used the same IP address will become less of an issue. Although you have to wonder whether the kind of big mail service that will swing the blacklist axe first and probably not ask questions later with IPv4 addresses is just going to start blocking entire service provider ranges with IPv6 to counter that, causing the same problems for legitimate senders with new systems anyway.

You could run into some limitations, since as far as I know there is only 1 self hosted runner configuration for a given organization. You can’t for example request a specific workflow run on a specific class of self-hosted runners or something like that.
The problem is that you actually are spamming. Almost no one wants the junk that comes out of mailchimp. It’s just they are big and powerful enough to get their spam in inboxes rather than the spam box where it belongs.
The main flaw is practicality. The first thing you could do is cut it down to 26 decks, all you need to do then is have the participant count off the top with the face up instead of the bottom to replicate the other 26.
> What's the difference between not getting an offer if you fail the check first, or having it rescinded if you fail the check immediately after?

The difference is that at some point you have to notify your current employer that you'll be leaving. You probably do that after receiving the offer letter, so if you never get one, at least you still get to keep your old job.

I used to use Pardot ( B2B marketing software) at work, which is miles ahead of MailChimp. While there are certain things you can't do by default (e.g. email to info@domain.com,etc) , the spam filters are still kind of blackbox,so the content can have a huge play in addition to marketing software server's reputation,etc.

> It was the logging part which puzzled me.

OP used "Log stacks", but "Log Stacks" are just a specific flavor of event-based timeseries/analytics stacks. If you were to build a log-ingest and log-aggregation system, you'd just be building an ETL but with a specific emphasis on logging.

> The reason I asked about resources is because I have data generated by a personal project. The initial data model was sloppy and so now I'm finding myself having to backfill to clean the data and it's rather painful. Though I haven't come across anything that deals with the subject so I'm just winging it on my own

Snowflake's stage system works similarly to what I'm describing. You can use S3 as a stage, and then load data from the stage into a table. If something bad happens to your data _in Snowflake_, you can just reload from the Stage (with an updated INSERT).

For more ad-hoc ELT/ETL systems (ie not just All-In on Snowflake), you'd have to just assess your own tooling and build it yourself. In general, when building ingest systems I try to document whatever I can per-record. Meaning, each record in a store includes what version of what software ingested it, and a reference to the raw-est form of that data possible (ie, a JSON blob of the original event or a S3 URL to that event's backing source). This lets you say "We identified a bug in the ingest layer at version 0.1.1, we need to reingest all that data with 0.2.0", and then easily identify and remove the exact data that encountered that bug (because you recorded 0.1.1 as a part of the record itself), and then build a list of exactly what S3 files need to be reingested by 0.2.0.

If you're comfortable expanding your dataset a bit to include that type of metadata you save yourself a lot of time when bad things happen (which they will). It's always a game of metadata/bloat/compute time vs. savings, though.

edit I'll add, none of this matters if your dataset is small enough to be imported from 0 in almost no time at all. If you could write a small script to just parse every file in S3 and insert it into a database, and the time it would take to finish doesn't upset you, you're totally fine just doing that. What I described above is for when your data becomes so large that reimporting from 0 is basically impossible.
Yes, and if that does not work, then the situation is that not only does each developer need Apple more than Apple needs each developer, but that developers in general need Apple more than Apple needs developers.

Which would contradict the claim that developers are having to pay outsize fees compared to their relevance to Apple’s business.
Android allows sideloading today and none of the things you claim are possible. If you want to interrogate the cellular network for tower locations, you need location permission. Same for WiFi and BT.
> By the time you were to pay for the repair service and the parts it might not be economical.

Louis Rossmann proves that such a business does work and is profitable while remaining significantly cheaper for customers (otherwise he wouldn't get any business).
This is a very limited and short-sighted view on the emergence and development of new technologies.

From the first petrol engine (1879) to the Ford Model T (1908), the Arpanet (1969) to the Internet (1990), as also software development (Cyberpunk 2077 was developed over 8 years), these things have one thing in common: they need time.

When one day your every breath (and its payment) is recorded on a blockchain then you should be aware that such a technology capable to do so does not exist yet, but its basic features do.
Congrats again on launching - appreciate the openness and the project seems interesting! Simple question here, as I somehow always seem to miss this feature on most blog sites, does this project handle pdf hosting as a blog post?
1945 is probably a good counterexample. If Hitler had kept his regime and genocide locally and not invaded neighbours, there would be no WW2, everybody would let him do that.

Just like in Cambodia, or Rwanda, or North Korea, or many, many other examples - as a rule, the world does not intervene with violent regime change just because a regime is abusing their people. Like, nobody in power batted an eye when Saddam gassed Kurds in his territory, intervention happened only when he invaded Kuwait. I'm not even sure if I have seen a single exception in 20th-21st century history; it feels like humanitarian aspects have been only used as a pretext or justification if there were other politic/economic reasons that mattered more than that.

Russia, through Putin, and Belarus, through Lukashenka, are very closely allied. Highlighted in the NYTimes coverage:

It underscored that with the support of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, Mr. Lukashenko is prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to repress dissent....

In Russia — where the state media described last year’s uprising against Mr. Lukashenko as a Western plot — the arrest met with approval among Mr. Putin’s supporters. Margarita Simonyan, editor of the pro-Kremlin RT television network, wrote on Twitter that Mr. Lukashenko “played it beautifully.” And Vyacheslav Lysakov, a member of Parliament allied with Mr. Putin, described Mr. Protasevich’s arrest as a “brilliant special operation.”

For example, you mention foreign currency exchanges. According to Wikipedia, trading in foreign exchange markets averaged $6.6 trillion per day (April 2019).

Not really true. A lot of supplies sold use old designs.
Some components, due to their power requirements, are only cheap in through-hole designs.

Surface mount components exist in some cases that are very compact but you pay a large premium.
Probably quite poor.

FR4 boards are built with woven fibers, and you can get measurable differences depending on how tight the weave pattern is, or the angle of your transmission line relative to the weave pattern. Given that paper is not woven, I’d expect a lot more dispersion than on cheap PCBs.

That said, with a good enough process able to press the paper + resin stack reliably, you could possibly get something usable.
The US does it too for people they want but I would argue that even if you had to emergency land you should be protected from arrest until you cross the technical border (immigration) and that you can not be forced to do this.

We have extradition treaties for this and arresting someone who was forced to cross your border doesn't negate those. You still need to go through the courts.
I think of it as my in-house software. Most software businesses write never leave the business, with a lot of the remainder being written in a support role just to further other business needs, not to be sold (such as a bank's online banking phone app.)

But it might be even better than in-house software. I don't have to collaborate with anyone. I can observe "best practices" or not. I don't have to care about rough edges like bad error messages - I'm the programmer and user, so I know what the message means.

I'm calling it my return to hacker roots. Unix was written for hackers who cobbled together quick solutions to personal problems. I no longer feel pressure to share my creations - sometimes I think people get minimal benefit from what I share, but it's more work for me than it's usually worth. Sometimes I feel bad about "not giving back" but many people "giving back" have their own self-driven reasons, such as building their portfolio of work. I have a day job so these reasons don't exist for me.

My most useful software is my meal planning and grocery list system. I've been using it over ten years now. Occasionally I'm asked to share it but it's a very nasty personal creation. I have no desire to share it. I do need to overhaul it though.

Linus Torvalds says he uses some hacked-up abomination of a text editor because it works for him and he knows it. That's the hacker spirit.
Isn't Torx basically a hexagram rather than a hexagon? To me, pentalobe looks closer to circular than Torx does. Also, how much have you worked with tiny pentalobe screws compared to tiny Torx screws? Is it possible you've seen the latter strip more just because you've used them more?
Whether or not you are personally convinced is irrelevant, the facts are that Facebook literally already has tried to do this and gotten their hand slapped for it.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/facebook-and-google-...

The facts don't care about your feelings here - facebook and others have already attempted to exploit the limited mechanisms of sideloading available to violate user privacy, and they will do so again if given broader permissions.

You are directly arguing for the removal of the mechanism that was used to slap their hand.
> Can anyone explain what "Cardstock (90lbs)" means in gsm?

Probably 163 gsm.

> There seem to be two kinds of 90 lb cardstock - cover and index, which are completely different weights.

I would assume index would be the default, if unspecified. That's at the lighter end of the scale for index cards and the like, and a good weight for most paper modelmaking.

90 lb cover might actually be too heavy to go through some desktop printers without problems.
I mentally make a distinction between "counterfeit" products which are actually authentic and good quality, unlikely to hurt the consumer, but arguably cause some harm to apple's IP, and "counterfeit" products which are actually poor quality clones made by inferior production lines. It's unfortunate that the same term is used for both.

Presumably a high volume and skilled third party repair shop and its purchasing people will be a crucial role in buying and distinguishing between the two types of hardware.
I think that just changed hours ago. Flying over Russian/Belarus is now considered harmful.
I can think of societies with massive tax evasion, from all economic classes of people and where bribes are normal. Is there something wrong with laws requiring tax payments and banning bribes?

Ask HN: Speculative Execution and Wave Function Collapse in a Simulated Reality
Assuming that we live in an ancestor simulation[0] (yes, a big assumption) and the probabilistic nature of quantum theory within our reality, might wave function collapse[1] be a sign that we are, in fact, living in a simulation?

Given the statistical ambiguities inherent in quantum events, could the probabilistic nature of those events (cf. Feynman's path integral[3]) indicate the presence of speculative execution[2] on the part of computing core(s) running such a simulation?

Obviously, this is highly speculative and would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to prove, but it's an interesting question worthy (IMHO) of discussion.

Any thoughts? Other ideas? Well reasoned rejections of such a hypothesis?

Again, there was no force with the Morales plane. No one can enter another nation's airspace without permission. They were simply denied permission. It's the difference between being denied boarding for an international flight because you forgot your passport and being arrested once you land. One is "force", one is not.

Denying Morale's plane permission was an act of diplomacy, albeit a very uncommon one and one in pursuit of an unjust goal.

Forcing down a foreign airplane on an international flight to arrest someone on it is an act of war. Sorry.

I think this works by volume of customers in the NYC metro, but might not be viable for a repair shop in a smaller city. I would be very interested to see if a similar specialist could financially support the salaries of a few full time techs in a much smaller metro on the scale of, for example, Spokane WA.
