At this point I've really got the view of just go get fucked.

If its in a cold / unhosted wallet then the brokers can't make any money from it. If you buy bitcoin as an investment and stick it in a cold wallet then companies like coinbase can't make money from it.

I understand about the frustration of not being able to source the part, but a change in a single IC or connector’s pin mapping absolutely can be a performance improvement alone.

I’m lobbying at work now for one such case. Sometimes the existing pin assignments are just bad, and that can destroy signal integrity, increase layout complexity (and thus board cost) and negatively affect EMC performance. I don’t know whether that is the case here but I wouldn’t automatically trust someone’s judgment on it without knowing their level of expertise on high speed layout design.
Exactly - the goal literally cannot be “make everyone rich” especially if you define rich as “top X% income/wealth”. The benchmark has to be elsewhere.

And quick fixes often are counterproductive.
The empirical pseudorandomness testing situation seems kind of sad. The suite used in the paper discussed here is unmantained for many years, while its "competitor" PracRand/PractRand is not maintained for the last couple of years. It seems like the author of PractRand is the only one who tried to keep their pseudorandomness testing suite relevant, but just the compiler warnings that one gets while trying to compile it are quite scary, so it seems that there's really no project in this space that's in a remotely healthy condition :(

Here's a link to a Git mirror of PractRand, in case somebody wants to contribute or fork it: https://github.com/tylov-fork/PractRand

More broadly, it feels like the situation with non-cryptographic pseudorandom generators and/or hashes isn't in a good place. I have a hunch that making progress on that front requires effort from expert scientists, but presumably the work isn't considered grant-worthy, so there's not a lot of it?

On another note, a quite possibly stupid question; but why were the Xoshiro PRNG variants not considered in the paper?
The Rio red variety was not developed in 2007. It was developed in the 1980s, in, you guessed it: Rio, Brazil. When I first heard about this some handful of years ago I was naturally curious about how a researcher in Rio in the 1980s had access to thermal neutrons without a fission reactor. After a lot of reference digging and discussion on physics forums we came to the conclusion it was most likely a penning trap style fusor with some thick moderator. The Mars Curiosity rover also had/has a penning style trap for generating neutrons to probe for underground water sources.
His YouTube channel is estimated to net him $500K+ per year with negligible expenses. His business has an estimated revenue, per the linked article, of 1-2 million per year, with 15 employees or so.

In all probability the YT channel is much more lucrative than the business is.
I got an Instagram ad for a free device from a popular product seller on Amazon. I clicked out of curiosity, expecting it to be some sort of scam. Instead, it took me to a page hidden on the manufacturer’s official .com website.

The deal was that I had to go to Amazon.com, search for a specific keyword, scroll until I found their product, buy it, and then forward my receipt to the company. They would then PayPal me the entire cost and I got to keep the product.

They didn’t even ask for a review, although maybe that request would come after I bought it. Up front, they were simply vying for search ranking.

The margin on some of these products is so high that companies can buy their way in to high search rankings and reviews.

But who then decides if someone crossed that red line? And what if that decision is being done in bad faith?

Again, I am not talking about censorship by the government. I am talking about some people deciding its not worth to listen to some other people, and therefore not giving them a platform? Isn't that my free choice - you can talk freely, but I can just not listen to you?

Isn't what you propose - taking away the right to free speech - far worse than censorship? Would you jail people if they still speak freely after they crossed that red line?
Points of order.

1. The LinnDrum MidiStudio was never a product. The two appear to be similar but it'd be hard to claim one was a clone of the other. They seemingly differ in polyphony, sample resolution, and a wide variety of other features. Indeed the MidiStudio has more in common with the 9000 I would think. Does this make it a "clone" of the 9000?

2. Linn developed both the LinnDrum MidiStudio and the MPC60. Just because he was working with Akai does not make this a "Japanese clone" of one of his designs.

Almost everywhere in USA is safe. Even more so W. Europe. Need civilwar or live in place rules by warlords to be dangerous.

The chance of you suffering crime (unless u look for it like join gang) is vanishingly small. Media just constantly reports and massive amplifies fear generation on the most dramatic BS happening anywhere cause fear sells.

For instance more or almost the same number if people die by 2nd Hand Smoke as die if gunshots in USA. About half of gunshots deaths all self inflicted suicides. But every thinks there is some huge issue with gun violence. Wed save tens of thousands of lives every year outlawing smoking. But smoking isn't scary like "assault weapon".

In addition to what other commenters have said, I'll add that D has good portability. It's able to target operating systems and architectures outside the current mainstream.

IMO, its niche is similar to Go and Nim.
> I simply don't want to see CMake anymore.

It's certainly not CMake. It could happen with Jupyter notebooks or Monoids.

That you wield tools with which you can do a lot doesn't mean you literally can do everything. The purpose of life is replication and you need to figure out how to leave your mark. As other commenters suggested, a family is a practical way to address this. Or write a book, or run classes in your community college, or contribute to OSS.

Keep on doing what you are good at, don't try to be a carpenter. Just don't do it for your ego, or you will end up lonely. Do it for real people (and no no no, don't do it for real people in order to feed your ego).

You're good, don't waste it!
Just to iterate my take on this trial:

If Apple either lowers fees or comes up with an API allowing alternative payment processing this all goes away I think. This is what developers care about. This isn’t really about alternative app stores, I don’t think Epic or any company cares about the distribution model ok the whole, and certainly it’s not something the average consumer is thinking about. See the lack of success with alternative app stores en masses on Android for example. It’s the payment model thers got the whole thing twisted up.

The irony here is if they just charged more for a developer license Thera based in the size of your org I think everyone would be happy, and it would compensate Apple for the lowering of the processing fees.

If it was 5% I don’t think this trial would have ever happened.

I am stilll really interested to see how this turns out
Hop breeding works that way, plants are actively bred. The ones that are agronomically useful will see bigger and bigger plantings until they are tried at market. When they either fail or establish themselves (to the point of completely overtaking the market like citra did).

With wine it's similar so I suspect its just how most of this works.

> It always amuses me to find that people are against GMO foods yet almost everything we eat is GMO depending on how you define it.

> Almost every crop and livestock has been genetically modified through selective breeding (domestication).

I agree with your broader point that much of what we eat is GMO. But isn't selective breeding a categorically different process of modifying an organism? My understanding is that selective breeding starts with two things that we already are familiar with, and tries to maximize or minimize some characteristic in the next generation via traditional reproduction. On the other hand, a modern definition of GMO includes genetic engineering -- manipulating DNA directly using technology.

Is it naive to worry that the latter process might introduce unexpected and potentially harmful characteristics, in ways that the former wouldn't? Additionally, if selective breeding happens slowly over generations, it seems to me that it would allow us to more carefully track how the modification of particular traits affects the surrounding ecology of the organism.
You’re saying that 60% of 70% is less than 30%?

> 365 and 366 are non-calendar holidays.

Except that people can still be born and die and check in and out of hospitals on those days, so you have to be able to record those days, so they immediately get back onto the calendar but in a far uglier and more hacky way than the entire system that you just tried to replace.
Sure. But who owns the software? You bought a license for that.

This is no different from a lot of other platforms. And quite frankly, I’m happy about that, if you compare with incompatible, unupdated, and malicious software on android

So is mutagenesis "direct genetic modification"?

How does GMO mean pesticides? I thought that was more under "organic" which is again a very ambiguous and problematic label.
I wonder if it is like the rural doctor/nurse/cop shortages though. Those places don't want to pay, so don't care if the jobs are actually filled.

How many of the 465,000 jobs do companies actually care get filled? Or do they just have them open just in case someone cheap walks through the door?

How come? Got a link to any article on this? Because as far as "IDW" characters are (and I agree most of them are either shady or outright shallow intellectual frauds) Brett seemed to be pretty genuine and less full of himself. But it wouldn't surprise me considering just how intense and widespread political gifting is (across pretty much the entire political spectrum though to be honest).
Interesting. I only stumbled upon one of his repair videos a few years back — was frankly blown away by his meticulous identification and cross referencing of specific chips, his ability to replace surface-mount components.

It left me with an appreciation for someone who can dedicate themselves to this depth of esoterica and make something I thought impossible look ... doable by an enthusiast?

But from your comment I wonder about that audience you mention: anti-Apple.

Because something that I also took away from his videos was this sense that technology, and I'm talking about the day to day things in our lives, has gone completely beyond any normal person's ability to repair, diagnose, or, really, understand at all.

I was careful not to say he made the repairs look easy — he made repair look doable but also underscored just what the layman is up against (SMDs, obscure codes on chips that are little bigger than fleas, specialized tools to open cases, paper-thin ribbon cables, etc.).

I think his audience is broader than just anti-Apple. Perhaps they're upset about all of the ways in which we have become enslaved to devices we can't understand.

Why do it yourself when others are doing it for you? The effects of any change from Amazon directly has the potential to swing the bottom line drastically in a way not favorable to them. There's no way they are goibng to spend money to position them to make less money.
Unfortunately, Apple has to maintain this rule because otherwise developers will implement workarounds to avoid charging in the App Store altogether.

Remember when eBay charged a commission on the sale price but not shipping? Suddenly $50 items became $1 with $49 shipping -- so eBay had to charge the commission on the shipping too even though it didn't seem "fair".

Same here -- every app would turn free, and charge to unlock features within using their own payment mechanism. Apple's App Store revenue would drop to zero. No developer in their right mind would let Apple take a cut of anything.

As a general rule, app stores simply don't allow third-party payment in apps that don't go through the store, for this exact reason. It's not just Apple with this policy.
> Apple doesn't own that device any more. They sold it to someone.

Ownership is so pre-cloud. Now everything is cloud tethered so nothing belongs to anyone except whoever runs it’s cloud.
You need to install non-free video codecs. It would be great if GitHub recommended using open video codecs for people uploading videos. AV1 would be a good candidate, but Safari still doesn't support it.
Show HN: Radiopush.app – Create communities with Spotify users (open-source)
So why I created Radiopush?

I love music, and using Spotify changed my life, but being exposed to so many songs and albums made me confused. While Spotify mixes are a fantastic way to explore new music I missed the human touch, the excitement of sharing a new song with a friend, and celebrating a shared passion for some crazy band that only a few knows.

This project is for the community, and that's why all the source code is open. It's not about the money, I did it because I wanted to use it, I just hope enough people will join the platform so I can discover more music :)

What you can do:

1. Login with Spotify for maximum security (no need to register)

2. Create private channels to share with close friends

3. Make public channels to share with the world your amazing taste in music

4. Post songs with Spotify links
5. Preview the songs from the platform

6. Add reactions

7. (Coming soon) Add songs to your Spotify playlists
I know you're joking, but I agree with the parent comment. I have a number of AUKEY products and actually have had zero issues. I've also never been bothered by them to give a review (though I suspect if I had given a negative one they might have contacted me).
Okay, but if we're looking at Linux kernel workarounds, then we have much bigger system than that so this is not really anything that should ever exist, right?
I don’t think he’s ‘dumb’. Just not an engineer. He unscrews computers and replaces parts and puts them back together. I’m disappointed he doesn’t concentrate on the important topic of right to repair and finds things to criticise that seem like they’re chosen to play to the lowest common denominator.
I'm in your boat. Gene's are letters in a story. To say "That's a salmon gene! It doesn't belong in my tomato!" is puzzling, like "That letter belongs to another book! Keep it out of this book!"

Anyway, good ol' paleo food was whatever nature provided, most of what was happy to kill you. Humans tamed 1000's of plants over 50,000 years changing them beyond recognition so they wouldn't hurt us with alkalis and poisons. And so the tasty bits were bigger and easier to get at. All by genetics.

Sure we can do it faster now. But we're aware of what we're doing. Grandparents with crossbred tomato didn't have any idea if she was reintroducing a poison or raising the acidity to dangerous levels. They were blundering in the dark.

I see no problem with turning on the light, and moving confidently.
I wonder if they picked this idea up after seeing the attempt to capture Snowden by grounding morales' plane.
> For music, synthesis and DSP are basically solved problems.

This composer respectfully disagrees. For example, there is a world of synthesis research that Luc Döbereiner has called "non-standard" although I prefer his phrase "compositionally motivated sound synthesis" which is not concerned with the reconstruction of known sounds, but exploring the margins of the possible. I don't see an end for that project in our lifetime.

The hiring process is definitely an issue. Cybersecurity is new enough that HR has no idea what they want, so they require useless certifications like CEH, and a college degree in CS. There's also a wide variation in what Cybersecurity even means. Some college cybersecurity programs are all about policy and compliance, while some focus on offensive security and vulnerability analysis.

Comcast is the most hated company in America mostly because it charges random things that customers never authorized, because of how it structures its TV packages and because its support usually sucks. At least that's what I got from a quick google search. Nobody mentions data caps or filtering sites. As for modem rentals, again, most normies don't even know you can buy a modem at BestBuy.

As for costs, I meant costs passed to the consumer. If we assume that the infrastructure is shared by 5 ISPs and they all contribute to its maintenance/upgrades. All ISPs offer the same down/up speeds and the reliability of the infrastructure is identical. What are the knobs to adjust costs to the customer and have them pick you? Pay support people less, have them work in shitty offices, do shady stuff with customer data. Maybe I'm not creative enough but other than reducing your internal cost of operation what can you do?

Apple’s business and design philosophies revolve around control. In exchange for locking down everything, they promise you a seamless, high-performance, safe experience. That extends to designing products in a way that end-user repair is not a consideration, to locking down access to the App Store (see the Epic trial), and more.

I personally think it’s a bad direction to go in, especially with the outsized power Apple has over the industry, but they have clearly found willing audiences for it.

> A simple blogging platform I built out of frustration with other tools

I like this phrasing. Many of the best things are made out of frustration - it might be one of the most important building materials for software.

‘Cool blogging platform! What’s it built out of?’

‘Frustration’

Definitely better than building one out of fear, anger or greed.

Actually, in some seriousness, I think stackoverflow was built out of anger - and used that to clearly define what their differentiators and value proposition were. So maybe hanging on to that original motivation could be an important part of setting out what makes this different.

Anyway, congratulations on launching.
It’s very, very expensive. The state constitution guarantees a right to an education. While it’s possible to deny someone that right based on poor behavior (like many other rights), it’s a big deal.

If you mean does an expelled student mean reduced funding … I don’t know. Maybe nobody knows. It hasn’t happened in decades.

When a student is suspended there’s usually some provision made for their education: individual learning.

The district is still doing something for them.

With expulsion, it’s as though the student is a non resident for purposes of registration. I don’t know if that applies to funding.
The line "it has undermined his credibility" changes it from just a comment on personal opinion to an attack.
