Is this a serious article? How on earth did this pass editing and review?

I guess the author might also want to propose just banning breaking the law while we're at it.
How would having a transparent device improve usability?
Off-topic, but given that this hasn't gone too well, I'd love to read a follow-up from you. Like, how you change your product after getting the feedback here.
It's strange that oxygen cannot be transported at night. In Europe all the critical and big volume transports goes often at night (wind turbines parts, ship components etc.)
Mentioned on reddit[1], but, specifically for the pacman/yay example, the command handles more than just removing a package. `pacman -Rn`/`pacman -R --nosave` removes 'backup' files (roughly equivalent to `apt purge`) and `pacman -Rs`/`pacman -R --recursive` removes orphaned dependencies (equivalent, I believe, to `apt remove --autoremove`). Yum doesn't have equivalents for these my default and it's not relevant to package managers like npm. (although pip could certainly use the recursive option)

Cities are requiring speed limiters on electric scooters and bikes, but I have never seen any serious suggestions from politicians that the same could and should be done on cars, despite the huge gap in danger.
rm doesn't do pattern matching though - that part is in your shell so the responsibilities are already separated in this case.
Yes, every empire collapses under its weight, sooner or later.

I am not sure about this assumption. Googling "trust in facebook" will include many posts from US news outlets about problems people have since the Cambridge Analytica thingie.

But, back to your question.

I personally think that there are some significant differences between decentralized and blockchain based applications so I'll be separating the two.

As a user I am interested in decentralized (and open) protocols as provide the ability for me to "own" my data in different ways. I can choose the app that I use, I own and can optionally host my data, it's harder to get deplatformed/shadowbanned, and I know that the service will not go away the moment the company stops making money. It's also easier to put my money where my mouth is and sponsor the development of a client or the protocol, I can pay for a provider to host my data so they don't have to find ways of using my data for profit (user is the product situations). In this category I see technologies such as IPFS, DAT, SSB, Matrix, etc.

Blockchain applications are just one of the ways to build such protocols/apps. They simplify things a log. You get some things for "free" (you still pay for gas) such as networking, identity, storage, consensus, payments. In most non-blockchain based decentralized applications it's pretty much impossible to build something from scratch that allows users to have their own username. (Many projects solve this by using centralized services such as DNS, blockchain, or just giving in to federation). Similarly with other consensus issues that blockchain due to its nature solves out of the box. It's really hard to build good decentralized apps having these features, let alone without them.

Add the fact that blockchain and smart contracts are new and interesting technologies, and the amount of money made from ICOs and VCs that such companies are throwing at developers and hopefully you have a vague picture.

Ostracization by peers, revenge by members of the victim's family or tribe. Humans generally had reasons not to go out and kill one another long before laws.
Cute, but it doesn't look like mass transportation.

So whilst the figures for CO2 emission reduction might be true, it won't have a real impact until they can scale this up.
>With the tax breaks it was given

I'm confused. If you give tax breaks then you take a loss. That's what tax breaks are. Tax breaks usually exist to buy reputation for the local politician with tax payer money. They never made sense economically because the overall tax burden for non subsidized companies goes up. If your tax rates are not competitive then you just change your tax rate for everyone.

Intel chips are chock full of these same kinds of mistakes.
The number of cycles can be configured on the test machines. That number is pre-determined for each particular test protocol. The presence of viral DNA doesn't necessarily indicate the presence of an active infection or live virus that can spread to others. This isn't good or bad, it's just how the test works.
All that transparent displays look good, but it's an awful design choice nonetheless.
Yes, in image based languages DCE is used inside functions to eliminate things like branches that can never be executed, but a function that is never called is not dead code since it might get called later. Tree shaking is used to optimize the final deliverable by saying that there will be no more changes or `eval`s, so anything that isn't reachable from the root(s) can be eliminated.
> Was this responsibly disclosed?

> I tried, but I also talked about it on public IRC before I knew it was a bug and not a feature, so I couldn't do much about that part. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That seems... unwise to admit publicly.
My thoughts on this are that we drastically need to reduce vehicle (car, suv, etc) safety. As vehicles become safer and safer, drivers feel more confidence, and make everyone else less safe.

For example - many cars now have dipped (low beam) lights on during the daytime. This makes cars more visible, great, but by consequence everyone else becomes less visible.

Crush zones in cars are a great way to absorb energy from an impact and save the occupants... unless you're a cyclist or pedestrian on the receiving end.

Alternatively we revisit the concept that bicycles and cars are compatible and either put the cyclists with pedestrians (I can already hear the chorus of issues), or build out completely separate cycling infrastructure (at what cost), or make cars 3rd class citizens on the road that are obliged to yield to everything else (maybe except on motorways?).
I used to run my own hand built ebike so it didn't have any governor or limit on it. Was always safest when I could keep pace with cars. Otherwise they just try to pass and that's not great on residential streets.
AFAIK, nothing stops the family from selling another NFT of the same video.
Can you elaborate how the world is not zero sum? We live in a clearly round planet thats completely isolated except for a daily dose of sunlight. Again this sunlight isn't going to change.

You might argue that it's not zero sum for practical purposes, but to me it looks very decidedly zero sum in many different dimensions (usable land, co2 release, fresh water, many minerals, list goes on).
>Without the tax break, none of the new jobs would have been made in the city at all.

Are you sure? Those jobs would exist even if no city gives tax breaks, tax breaks didn't create them, therefore you cannot make this calculation.
The FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) is the most authoritative source of info, but if you look at @dang’s post history there’s some interesting discussion of other algorithms in use (a recent one was about giving some submissions a “second chance” at making it onto the front page).

From the FAQ:
“””

How are stories ranked?

The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.

Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.

I highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBikes if you are interested in learning more about this type of road design. It was really illuminating about some of the endemic problems with urban design in the US.
Not sure if you've seen the Expanse, but two comments:

1. The stills here look edited, possible to focus the UIs for the article. I may be misremembering but I don't remember being unable to make out characters on screen!

2. The protagonists in the show comandeer a Mars ship and most shots take place inside it. For narrative reasons, UN ships are bright, Mars ships are black/dark red (and Belter ships are broken, Star Wars rebels style), so the in-space look changes a lot (though the main set is that one Mars ship).
It works - Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
The flu "epidemic" never ended. The common cold "epidemic" never ended. If COVID mutates fast enough it will stay with us forever, with a potentially much higher mortality than the flu. The argument of the article boils down to "that's OK, you'll get used to it"
That's definitely a problem. I work around by naming all my structs with a `_1` suffix and `%s/_1/_2/g` (VIM find-replacing) every time a struct changes. Otherwise I find Revise works great.
Ok, I'll bite. What's that reason? Because as long as the contrast is there, there is no obvious reason why using that color scheme would lead to less importance or popularity.
Data science been criticised for over 10 years now, sometimes rightfully and sometimes not. As far as the article - imagine that someone pointed out a bunch crappy software practices and poor outcomes, they put the term "software development" in the title and never told you that the criticisms only apply to a subset of all software jobs and teams. You would then think that software development has fallen out of favour too.
The label is very blurry.

Plus, the point is that the picture is not a blurred picture of a finger. There is a lot of information in this photo which could be used to help to guide the de-blurring process.

Cars still have to abide by speed limits, which can be enforced because they have licenseplates.

If ebikes had license plates, we could enforce speed limits on them the same way as cars, rather than a hard limit by design.
The point about the World Wide Web being an implementation of REST was really interesting, and now that I think about it web pages are one of the few things that usually respect HATEOAS. I'm reminded of one article by the author of intercooler.js and htmx, "HATEOAS is for Humans" (https://intercoolerjs.org/2016/05/08/hatoeas-is-for-humans.h...), that made the same point but that I didn't understand fully when I read it.

From website exyz.me:

Readers don't pay for post before opening it but as they spend time reading it (by which we mean serious reading), a few cents start to move from reader's wallet to writer's.

As a user I have to create an account and charge some money first. How does that conform to "No paywall"?
interesting that Comcast immediately directs the user to delete the file and doesn't even list an option to counter the claim. The trolls are constantly looking and probing for a weak spot, and with high probability they have just found another one - large stupid ISPs like Comcast. Now they only need to scare Comcast into automating the disconnections YouTube style and/or collecting the small settlement fee under the threat of disconnection (or for reconnection) and bingo - perpetuum mobile of a money printing machine.
I think it's more like a paid version of YouTube for businesses without all of the YouTube baggage. The only downside is Vimeo's 10 year old, tiny video player design.

Edit: also relevant because YouTube terms changed so YT can place ads on any video.
As additional strategy for reducing PNG sizes losslessly not mentioned in the article is the brute force optimization of the DEFLATE compression algorithm (via zopflipng). This gives you usually a few percent improvement for "free".
They are extensively used in Japanese computing. E.g., when you start typing numbers without first switching off the input method editor (which allows you to select Japanese/Chinese characters), by default (*possibly depends on platform), you will get full-width numbers as the first conversion candidate.

On Japanese sites, HTML forms also often expect either full-width or half-width letters and numbers (in, e.g., addresses).

For this reason, it might be useful to generally be aware of them even if you don't use CJK.
It would depend on infrastructure quality and traffic law adherence.

Lots of places around the world have really terrible roads and nonexistent or nearly entirely unenforced road laws. Places like that you might want to be careful to not drive an enormous tank of flaming death around when you’re not so sure you can see each of 500 pot holes, or an oncoming driver.

Basic infrastructure things are easily taken for granted.
Rather than creating new unenforceable regulations, we should readily allow social media companies to exercise their bias, and encourage the adoption of alternatives.

The complexity (low entropy) is really something very special and rare in the Universe. I don't know what, but something extraordinary might come out of it, if it evolves further.
I followed a dude on Twitter. He was semi famous and a big proponent of free speech. One day he posted some steaks he cooked. Some people started responding with steak cooking tips. He responded by banning everyone of of them. This has the same feel but on a larger scale.

I had a boss that used to get really angry at people when they wished him happy birthday. Same feeling.

I hate puzzles like this, they get stuck in my head.
I'll be thinking about this for weeks.
I mean, what is the alternative? We spend the rest of our lives hiding in our houses? He is right - at some point we will collectively decide COVID is a risk worth running to actually live life. And it might be that it does make day-to-day activities more risky than before, but again, what is the alternative?
Compared to chimps our short term memory is crap.

Watched a video of a Japanese researcher showing a video picture of symbols to a chimp which then faded away within a few seconds.

I then got a food treat if it could recall the pattern on the touch screen - on the more difficult levels it had to also remember the sequence of the patterns as well.

Chimps always won against a human.

"Fluent"? Like water? I think the writer perhaps meant "fluid".

I found the article disappointing; apart from revealing that the for the first microsecond the universe consisted of quark-gluon plasma, which subsequently turned into hadrons, there's no substance.

And zero "new details" - I knew about quark-gluon plasma.

I think that title is linkbait.
Pretty much what I thought then. And each result should then have a confidence interval attached to it that the result "patient infected" is correct. Also, distinguishing between "viral DNA present" and "virus present" seems like a lot of nitpicking to me. You can't have the one without the other.
We need to compare it to the number of km ridden on a bicycle per year. If the distance increase by time 10 and the death by 20% it is not that bad

Not just the UI, but The tech is realistic and possible and usually backed up by basic scientific principles.

Haven't thought much about it, but it seems to me that a key component is our ability to communicate. It's also something that we seem to be much better at than other species.

It allows discoveries and thoughts to be spread to others. This leads to progress, rather than a reset for each generation. Figuring out how to communicate through writings takes this to yet another level.

Not my field though so might be way off.
As an interesting tangent, England and Portugal have a permanent Treaty, (inherited by the UK), and which is still in force 700 years later.
Thank you for sharing. Through experimentation, I've found "no thanks, I don't eat round things" to have the highest success rate of gracefully ending the conversation and moving on. If pressed, "it's a religious thing". At worst, now we're talking about shapes and religion, which are two things that have nothing to do with my health.
The SRE team members who show a trend of continuous improvement may gain a system-wide view. Gradually, they come to understand that software value delivery chains work. Gathering more practical knowledge makes the SRE team members flexible for the future. Such knowledge also provides them a competitive edge.

A whole lot of excess words here, because the key point was here:

“The US […] supported the French return to Viet Nam.”

It was a US continuation of the reassertion of French imperialism, and as long as that imperialism continued, Hanoi wasn’t looking to roll over and avoid conflict, but to win it. Which, you know, they did.

The opportunity to avoid the war was for the US not to try to take over the failed French imperialist mission.
For the first point, I don't think it matters if the energy is green or not. It's still energy that is being wasted and could be used to in other ways. Just because the source is not directly burning coal, doesn't mean it doesn't have a net positive impact on emissions.

And for example Bitcoin can very much be squashed in my opinion. Enforce all transactions to be declared above a certain limit. Already the norm for banking that will likely become a necessity for cryptocurrency transfers. I just literally can see no way that this wouldn't happen. Exchanges will need to report it. I feel this would remove a lot of speculation from the market and illegal usage and leave the mature coins. Like some of those that you mentioned.

So when I was saying cryptocurrency I meant the large amount of unregulated coins, chief among them Bitcoin. I agree that there will be coins in the future especially government backed coins or coins that are linked to those coins. But I wouldn't expect Bitcoin to be relevant in a few years.
Vaccination. Once herd immunity is reached, and maybe maintained by regular booster shots, the risk of returning to normal life is negligable. And that's why this whole conspiracy nonsense around vaccines is so dangerous.

Well, in a very primitive and non-accurate sense, it counts/measures the number of (photo synthesis generating) photons hitting each leaves, and then grows in directions that maximizes its photo synthesis.

Since a tree has a much lower number of branches and leaves than there are photons, there has to be some aggregation of information involved in this computational process.

Yep, if he’s talking about his own employees then he’s failed to create the right environment. But then, WeWork is all about physical proximity, so maybe this was more of a marketing-based statement. Either way, I’m not impressed with it.
