I'm just a dev, even burned out a little. Mostly because as a freelancer I lack passion-driving projects, and want something I can call my own, or maybe that helps others, or feels like I'm serving a purpose.

If you need help with any of these, I'd love to work on them. I'm mostly just web dev, but I've played with machine learning, python, tons of technologies from HN, and I'm not afraid to ditch web dev and go into robotics, etc.

I've often thought of how to maybe use crypto for UBI, imagine if you will every person can have 1 account, (there will be business accounts too, and I still need to work that out), but this 1 account has built in taxes for different levels of income. It also has a max where taxes are basically 100% -- which would be tied to the average wallet/savings of each unique person.

difficulties lie in: ensuring 1 unique wallet, etc.. figuring out decent minting amounts, getting it accepted for bread and other commodities that matter the most to the poor, etc. The idea though is nobody should be so poor they can't afford a roof, and nobody should be so rich they keep someone else from affording a roof...

Basically it'd outlaw billionaires (or whoever hits the pre-programmed but variable cap), it would divy out funds based on who has the least funds, and also who uses funds the most for regular purchases (more transactions == more ubi).

I'd also like to eventually research or work with researchers working on ai / consciousness theory, neuroscience, cog-sci. I'm interested in the concepts that Donald Hoffman is putting forth about proofs that we're in a simulation. If this is true, if there's a way to alter reality then because life is "the matrix", I think that'd be something pretty interesting to discover the "how"... and make it more accessible to people, without requiring 60+ years of living in a buddhist monastery.

Anyway, if you want to connect email me: patrickwcurl@gmail.com
> A visitor from TOR is extraordinarily more likely to be abusive. It makes total sense to put up extra barriers, which is still short of blocking TOR users altogether, which is also fair for webmasters who don't want to deal with it.

And why is that again? I want to understand that argument.

In case of DDoS scenario: Well, too late, traffic already served and server already done the workload.

In case of password brute forcing: Well, then implement a latency, or cryptographical challenge to delay it more efficiently.

In case of "evil" human: Well, if a human can get past your security so easily, then your approach to security through obfuscation might be wrong.

So, again, what is the scenario where a captcha helps you to avoid being "attacked" by malicious actors?
The problem with running my own email is I don't want the hassle of convincing Google I'm not spam.
Anecdotally, the only unprovoked bad interaction I've had with a drunk guy was also in Riga. He'd come and take my beer out of my hand, and taunt me with it, refusing to give it back.
why was implementing captcha a thing you considered and do you understand the deep implications it has on your users?
Hello,

If you know any good virtual tour, please let me know.

I have 3 accounts which I'm using quite active throughout the week and I haven't seen any captcha on any of these, neither on Windows nor Linux; I'm using PM since I've moved from GMail in 2018.

This isn't an explanation, insofar as it's identical to the bartbutler post in the submission itself.
Well if I could synchronise that with lvm snapshots and go back... Once you start going the backtracking rabbit hole, there's lots of thing one can imagine.
No, it’s people. It’s always people. That even the church carries out such atrocities says more about humanity than it does about the church.

Actually, maybe that would be a good way to sequester carbon.
You just made this up. I’m tired of people who don’t understand investing writing these aphorisms about it
In my view, consciousness is a gradual thing, not a binary property. In addition, it's also not really "a thing", as in not "something extra". By that I mean, when you make it a habit to probe into your consciousness/awareness, you will find that all there is are perceptions. You may think that you have a qualia about a particular perception (e.g. of a color, a scent, a mood, a memory, an insight, etc.), but then the qualia is only there by virtue of you perceiving the qualia. There is nothing that is pure subject. When you perceive yourself as being a subject (an "I"), it thereby becomes an object of perception. It can't exist without being an object of perception. (E.g. it isn't there when you're unconscious.) That raises the question whether it is really anything more than an object (as opposed to a subject).

Now, a perception in that sense only requires that the thing perceived (the object of perception) has a representation in the brain, plus that some information processing of that representation is occuring in the brain (the act of perceiving). Our objects of perception, including qualia and e.g. the awareness of being conscious, can be very rich and complex, but it's certainly not implausible that they are fully represented in the brain with all their richness — and there is nothing more to it than that representation. (In fact, my personal experience is that the range of qualia is not that large, when you observe it over a longer term and for example compare it to our memory capabilites.)

So, when I introspect my consciousness, I cannot pinpoint anything that doesn't fit that model of "information processing (perceiving) of representations (objects, including qualia)". Even what I think of as "I", in the end, is just one of those objects (or probably more a cluster of those). The confusion, I believe, stems from the fact that we can only introspect a fraction of the information processing that is really going on, and that the "I" as an independent subject is a very strong illusion. But when you try to look closely for it, there is arguably nothing really there. (The Buddhists do have a point with their concept of non-self.)
I think it's actually a carry over from reddit, where it activates the quote, while here on hacker news it does nothing. It's just a symbol.
This is not actually true: every relevant aspect is different from a privacy perspective, both technical and legal.

Looking only at the technical differences, hCaptcha lets enterprise users like Proton locally scrub any info like IPs prior to sending to hCaptcha. It can be set up so that the user makes no direct connection at all to the service, and the code runs inside of a sandboxed IFRAME.

As for false positive vs false negative rates, not sure what you consider too high. We've been able to demonstrate FP rates under 0.005% when measured against known-good/bad signals from customers, which is as good as it gets.

How does your reasoning not apply to applications on any device?
> I don't really agree. I've owned a Fossil Carlyle 5 smartwatch with WearOS and an Apple Watch 3, and Apple's lead is definitely on the software side of things.

I don't disagree that the lead is in software. I'm saying it's also in Hardware too. You're making comparisons to the Apple Watch 3--that came out more than three and a half years ago. It's not helping your point that you feel the hardware for your android watch is in the same ballpark as Apple's oldest supported piece.

> Ask any analyst who's watched the industry for the last decade, they'll still tell you that Apple's advantage is in the software world

Please don't willfully miss my point. I'm agreeing with you that Apple has a software advantage. I'm telling you the software advantage exists in no small part due to the hardware advantage. Apple's SoC prowess is a massive advantage.

>If iMessage and MacOS were available on other hardware, Apple would be selling two crazy handfuls of nothing to customers.

Are we talking about the watch or not?

>They just want the little blue bubble to pop up when they send a message from their computer.

Damnit. If you had started with this line I would have known to not bother reading more of your post.

Main point: their story lives on through the living; what will you emphasize? Also, ride the waves of emotion, recognize what you’re feeling, and decide what to do, whether it be to cry, laugh, sing, reach out to someone, or (opt not to) be violent, etc. It may be years until those waves subside.

My father died largely due to alcoholism, probably one of several complications related to childhood trauma, based on what I’ve pieced together from family, letters, and his journals. We were not very close, and the rift widened after he embraced many conspiracy theories. All the same, we loved each other (we spoke this aloud and in writing and action) and kept writing letters, generally about the weather and phenology.
When he died it had been several weeks of phone-tag and me thinking about writing but not actually writing. I accepted his death and also felt guilty about not being there for him, that maybe my neglect hastened his death. I’m over that now, as alcoholism is a slow-motion car crash and he’s dead anyway; all that’s left is our memories (and his ashes as tree-food, and all the cool things he made, and all the work he did for other people’s houses, and the effect of his music, and so on). I let myself ride the waves of emotion and practice noticing what I’m feeling, and ideally deciding what to do next (I still struggle with this), whether it be to cry or laugh or go for a run.

Thank you for the nudge towards reaching out to others. The COVID-19 pandemic was useful for that, as I felt more-able to be social via writing letters.

Acknowledging commonalities has helped me reach out to those family members that have some ideological differences.
Thank you. I was wondering about this too. Breaking app compatibility between WP7 and WP8 was IMHO the death sentence for the platform...
I'm not entirely happy with fastmail. Too much of legitimate mail ends up in Spam. They even put aliexpress mails to spam, that kind of domain surely must be whitelisted. I'd prefer more spam in inbox, because right now I have to check spam every the time to ensure that nothing is lost.
To start a timer, raise your watch to your mouth and simply say “start 1 hour timer”.

You don’t even need to say “hey Siri”. It starts listening on the gesture of raising it to your mouth. Genius.

Raise watch to mouth and try things…

“Text Danielle ____”
“Open Pandora”
“Open wallet”

There are also settings to disable active watch face unless it’s raised. I have that enabled and never have issues accidentally hitting it. Check your settings and let me know if that helps.
Sure, but you must have previously remitted >= $600 to the US government (e.g. automatically as part of pay withholding).

Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about space ice, my bad.

Never heard of such a theory and I'm glad you shared it, it was out of my realm of possibilities since it never occurred to me.

But like you said, this doesn't explain the recurrent event, or the radar information.

>We are going on his word alone.

There. This is where I'm split, and where a lot of people tend to handle carefully because of the respect people have for US Navy, specially pilots, and no one seems to dare to say:

- What if Fravor was wrong and led everyone who trusted him into the wrong conclusions?

Could he have seen something ordinary and blew it out of proportions due to his - clearly massive - ego, just because he couldn't identify what ever it was, even with all of his experience and being one of the main guys in the ship?

Everyone could have seen something and not identify it, and relied on Fravors approach to try to figure out what it was, and the frame of reference for the squadron was based on his information.

Could they have missed what ever it was if it wasn't mentioned by a radar operator dealing with bugs/glitches? Probably. Yet they were looking for something in the area, and something they found. Was just a coincidence that they came across something that was in one of the areas pinned by the radar? It's a large ocean.

On the other hand, only they know what they saw, and they're experienced bunch. Plus it had to be an odd, and rare, chain of events (forgot to mention that other squadrons flew after them and got another video that leaked). Yet again, they were all trying hard to look for something - things that could have gone unnoticed if they weren't looking for something (like a commercial plane at a distance they aren't used to see on their sensors data).

Is it a problem? I get to have the benefit of having coding as a hobby, which makes the only work part being the meetings and culture stuff.

I have done well treating work as a series of tasks I need to accomplish in a week rather than as a 40 hour block where I am owned and a 128 hour block that is mine. It has worked very well for me so far.
It is absolutely not a problem that programming is your passion and also your job. For many people, it's a dream come true.

But don't do work in your free time. Don't fix bugs for your employer, don't learn stuff you need to learn for your employer. Don't give away your time for free. Doing work in your free time will burn you out. Doing the same things you do at work will burn you out – it will take a bit longer, but it will happen.
Many employers discourage working in your free time, just because of that (and because in some countries, they're legally obliged to ensure their employees have some free time).

Instead, do your own thing, develop your own project. Probably you'll create 10 side projects and abandon every single one of them after a few days. Something will stick (finding a side project is a whole other topic). Maybe do some open source contributions. Be passionate about your own project(s). And try something new, something you can't do at work. May it be another framework, language, or just some new fancy libraries. It will broaden your horizon and drastically improve your skills as a software engineer.

You will still think of that annoying bug you couldn't fix that day. Those feelings won't go away, but they will be less and less nagging.

Finally, turn off distractions from work in your free time. Mute your work-related notifications, don't check your work mails, they can wait until monday. Oh, and don't forget to meet your friends, go grab your favorite drink with them.
You are correct. Using the "forgot your password" function on Gmail often reveals snippets of the email account used for recovery and authentication of that account.

The Multics operating system, which was funded by the DARPA at MIT's Project Mac for 10 years, was superior to Unix from a technical standpoint, and it used segmentation.

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~solomon/cs537-old/last/segmentatio...

Unix has Paging but not segmentation. Segmentation allows you to grow a memory block without having to copy as it grows, something that just plain paging cannot do.
How much of the physical version should be preserved? For how long?

Singletons are probably not enough. But why save the physical aspects? Why not simply digitize people discussing it, take pictures of the original form, etc.? Why invest the time and energy maintaining items of dubious future need?
gonna replace and evil with another one, but you can use amazon workmail (they have the spf, dkim, dmarc stuff figured out) with your own domain.

it takes 10 minutes to setup. it does not have a flashy web ui - but if you do imap it doesn’t matter.

cost: 12$/year for the domain, 4$/month for the user, 0.5$/month for the route53 zone

so 5.5$/month to kick gmail to the curb.

Almost all of the deficiencies of PowerPoint typically complained about are deficiencies of the speaker: the inability or unwillingness to make compelling slides, or, very frequently, trying to create one presentation which serves as a discussion aid and a formal document of record — about as likely to succeed as engineering a device to land on Mars and explore the Mariana Trench.

PowerPoint is just a two dimensional layout program — criticisms of the actual software would be around how easy it is to type this kind of text, or align these kinds of objects, etc. I’m sure thousands of such deficiencies exist but that’s never what you hear about.

reCaptcha is notoriously complex & difficult to solve if you suffer from RSI or joint inflammation.

It is now. Facebook was a killer product back in 2007 (and probably until recently, it still was).

The inevitable fate of TikTok is to become more like FB than different, assuming that they are successful, because of the business model commonalities.
I've been using it for 2.5 years for my personal email (I don't do anything super complicated with email; mostly service notifications, the occasional correspondence with friends or recruiters or such). As far as UX, it's pretty mediocre (on both web and mobile) but it gets the job done for my purposes.
why would anybody want that to be public?
That's quite one-sided list which imo doesn't really prove anything about whether human eyes or cameras have an overall advantage. We could make a similarly one-sided list in favor of cameras: E.g. one could cite faster adaption rates of cameras, 360° vision, ability to capture infrared photons, possibility of wider stereo separation etc.
Those are the developer emails, not the account recovery emails that it says are shared between different developer emails.

Developer emails for extensions are public normally, so those being revealed aren't an issue.

To be honest, I do feel that CNN and MSNBC have fallen off a cliff as far as quality is concerned in the last 10+ years. All cable news is pretty much a wasteland.

But there's a special place in hell reserved for Fox News.

As bad as CNN can get with its cloying reductive stories, they at least try. Fox News is end-to-end garbage. Sorry.
