Exactly this. Not only that, the original will have minor differences in implementation that are impossible to copy due to the physical limitation.

To contrast, every digital good is exactly the same as the original. Heck, once the computer is turned off the first time, the original is technically gone, and a new copy was made when the computer turned back on.

The concept of originality goes away on a digital world.
> I'm not really fond of religion, we don't need it anymore, their purpose was made redundant with our increased standards of living.

It’s not clear to me that (1) developed societies have dispensed with religion; or (2) there aren’t benefits to traditional religions in the modern age.

Religion, at bottom, is just stuff we believe without proof, and social structures on top of those beliefs to reinforce belief, and foster group cohesion. We have plenty of those ideas in modern society. It’s not clear to me that the replacements are better than mid-20th century Christianity.
An original painting has more value than a copy because it has the original brush strokes in it and was touched by the artist. For whatever reason humans value objects that they can touch and that have been touched by others that they find valuable.

The NFT kind of loses that.
Can you name a nation that doesn't have an appetite for war and killing?
I don't agree with the guy above, but take a look at what Nick Cannon said and how he is still employed.
I think religious organizations provide an important social connection for a huge number of people in this world. That is invaluable. The problem is with religious leaders. They have repeatedly done terrible things. Falwell. Catholic priests. Many of the religious leaders from my family's past. All of the people supporting DJT and his ilk (supporting someone that literally has the opposite of their views).

This duality is a real problem and I don't see it being address one tiny bit.

I'm not going to play this game, this is pedantic and you're incorrect.

I'm correct it's the "Arizona Democratic Party" - https://azdem.org/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Democratic_Party

Dismissing actual evidence or views because they aren't using the "correct language" is not useful.

You understand what I mean, that's the important aspects of discussion.
This is one thing I hate to hear every two minutes.

Firstly, if you’re better to people because of religion then I am afraid of you. It only takes a moment for the fragile concept of faith to dissolve. I’ve seen it happen.

Secondly, the nature of kindness and altruism is a concept separate to religion. Religion just piggy backs on it and pretends it’s a virtue only because it makes more subservient indoctrinated spawn.

Please be a better person through introspection, thought and communication.
His cheating doesn't really matter to the point; that one person dominating a sport seems to be a ratings boost, not a hit.

That his dominance was later discovered to be ill-gotten doesn't change that.
They've been using Prometheus Fuels (a YC-backed company with further investment from US DOE and BMW i Ventures) thus far, starting with a 2019 deal. It will probably be up to United as to how they fuel the aircraft once in service, but they are basically touting that it is using a carbon-neutral fuel source all through R&D and Prometheus is using Boom to show that it can produce A1 (or possibly JP-8 with additives) in some new ways starting with ethanol and renewable energy sources.

I get the same meme image on refresh unless I open Chrome DevTools and right-click the refresh button, hitting 'Empty Cache and Hard Reload.' [Edit: looks like a regular hard reload also does the trick.]

Seems to me like the image may need to be served with a cache-buster? If it helps, I'm running Chrome version 90.0.4430.212 (64-bit).
Yikes. I’m sorry you’re suffering. Is it systematic oppression? To what degree is it your choices and actions? What are you grateful for?

There’s no perfect time to have a child. We eventually decided to just go for it and scrambled to make it work. I reckon I’ve grown up more in the last three years than the previous twenty, and I’m olay with that. When I was heavy into videogames I couldn’t imagine not being so, and now I’m more free to shed/change habits since I focus on the wellbeing of someone other than me.

Regarding huge areas/acres of unpopulated land and “largely empty” states: there are other, non-human persons living there, and I think that’s grand. We may not agree on this. I’m all for rewilding (see E. O. Wilson’s “half earth” idea and George Monbiot’s book Feral) and letting a lot of land be relatively empty of human settlement (with room for stewards, and tourism).

I’m thankful for this life, and I feel the amount of resources I consume does not scale well, given my values.
So far we've made zero progress actually cutting emissions. So why not plan for a world where everyone just keeps emitting? That's what every other company and industry is doing...
I’ve met Jews.

I’ve learned to avoid discussing the Israel/Palestine conflict, because often the discussions turn very awkward quickly, and previously reasonable people who appear to have humanist views suddenly don’t sound so reasonable anymore. It’s a complicated subject especially for people connected to the issues.

There are a lot of dark feelings all around the issue, that could get a lot of people fired if they talked about them openly.
Jews and Israelis are obviously not the same thing (even though the connection between them is very strong) but the reason you are not allowed to criticise _Israel_ in the US is that _Jews_ have a great amount of power there (hugely disproportionate to their population size).
>AFAIK, he wasn't “global head of diversity” for any organization when he wrote it, but only many years later.

He was literally a founding senior director for "equity in computing" at Georgia Tech and was a national strategy advisor to the Obama administration for bringing "equity and justice" to STEM (when he wrote this blog post).

Please update your post as you're spreading FUD.

>AFAIK, he wasn't “global head of diversity” for any organization when he wrote it, but only many years later.

He's been a DEI grifter for over a decade, including when he originally wrote his anti-semitic post.
Exactly. No one wants to live in a word where 100% of crimes are prosecuted 100% of the time. Not really.

Do you want to receive a citation every time you exceed the speed limit by 1 mph? Ever pull off into a parking lot to check your phone or look for something in your car? Trespassing. Ever lose your temper and yell at someone, even briefly? That's assault in most jurisdictions.
In the art spaces am watching, they think/thought so. They are/were wrong, but they think/thought so.
Additionally - what is the project timeline impact for any major endeavor such as this with respect to supply and labor chain interruptions due to pandemic, Suez-tipation, other economic factors...

I recall reading that major construction, mfrg project timelines were automatically setback by a large number of months due to the Evergreen thing... (JIT construction required a precise delivery of components and even a few week hiccup in that caused a downstream of ++months)

OBV Boom isnt affected by such - but the labor version locally in the US (Colorado) could still have slowed...

The other non-tangible impact of something like this is the loss of intellectual momentum that a team may have had aggressively going after a timeline when suddenly all the eng team gets to go spend more time with family...

Just some factors to be considered.
> If you can't pay the fine, it can turn into a warrant that can get you arrested.

Technically, inability to pay does not have this effect, only refusal. But you have to actually show up to court (as specified in the ticket, which is a summons to appear with bail that can be forfeited in lieu of appearance) and assert hardship to get a different penalty or payment arrangement set if you are unable to pay; if you just ignore the summons and don’t pay the bail set, then you are committing a crime.
How to Make Your Company a More Productive Place
> The things in your first paragraph are all useful, but not killer apps (IMO). Just nice conveniences.

I think "nice conveniences" might move slower and get less attention, but in aggregate I suspect they're actually more important for a major long-lasting general-purpose computing platform than "killer apps." We always think of "killer apps" for smaller, narrower, shorter-lived platforms, like a particular gaming console when it launches, but less so for bigger, broader, older platforms like the Internet, personal computers, or smartphones. These huge platforms all had some things which were called "killer apps" (mostly early in their history), but I think we should attribute their longevity and ubiquity more to a massive aggregation of what could be called "nice conveniences." And my impression is that Facebook's bet is that AR/VR will be one of these huge, broad, ubiquitous, long-lasting platforms.
I wish this part would get more attention. People say and do stupid shit when they're highly emotional & vulnerable. Everybody has "wrong" feelings and thoughts now and then. You wouldn't be human if you didn't. Sometimes people vent those thoughts/feelings, and that can hurt other people's feelings. We should obviously deal with that and take responsibility for that, but then the other side needs to accept that apology so both can reconcile. Otherwise everybody stays hurt.
Right? Nobody makes Tom Brady play with an overinflated ball to even the playing field.
> For the developer tools side I like what Shopify did but I would never recommend that to my employer. Too many moving parts and not enough people using it that I would feel safe about it.

I'm not sure I understand you. In their case this became the standard dev environment. Everyone in the company is using it and the true benefit is that it makes development predictable. You only need one command to set up dev environment. He also mentioned that it is much faster than the old way.
Good point. Do you know whether they were?
> Are NFTs somehow more arbitrary and asinine than other collectible markets simply because they're digital?

They're precisely as asinine as a certificate of ownership, if a certificate of ownership used a household-month of electricity to produce. And the paper it was made out of attracted assholes.
There's a difference between "hate" and persistent disagreement. There was a breathless hype cycle around NFT's. This has become another instance of "crypto use case XYZ's moment is here!" turning into "XYZ hasn't taken off but remains very promising!"

This all draws pretty reasonable critiques.
I see that you skipped over reading what you replied to. I will leave you to read that, and reply to that, instead.
That's an interesting comment that might explain why we are using lithium instead of some other metal. Do you have a reference that discusses this?
Haha, at least tell me which external tool you'd like me to add an import from, and I'll be happy to add it to my backlog.
There is no zero days that have been disclosed about these attacks. It is more likely these ransomware attacks are done by social engineering.
As Damore explains at length in his memo, statistical disparities in representation don't prove discrimination.

For example, 74% of NBA players are black - compared to just 13% of the US population.

Is this disparity evidence that the NBA is discriminating against non-black players?
Can I just complain for a moment about this site's popup with two buttons labeled, "Subscribe" and "Keep Receiving our News" with no close button or deny available.
Show HN: Talkback – Anonymized Meeting Review
talkback is a slack extension that helps teams improve their meetings.

In the past, my team often had habitual meetings that were largely inefficient. Then, we talked about it. From talking with other teams, we were unique — most teams don't talk about their meeting processes.
Talkback helps teams talk about their experiences via a slack app. Any team member can visit their dashboard to see how effective their meetings are and can begin to consider what needs to change.

I'd love feedback! Tear it apart :)
I think with the more fulsome context you've provided that the prior post's attempt to reduce his statement as critical of Israelis alone is a bit reductionist; his argument here extends to the diaspora that also unwaveringly support Israel in their expansionary policy.

I don't feel that position is anti-Semitic either, but I think it needs to be noted for the sake of intellectual honesty. He is critiquing a LOT of Jews here.
Philips Hue App Gets Design Overhaul
Rereading your comment now I realize you were commenting about the comment project2501b made, not mine. Sorry for the confusion, I agree with you.
NFTs I think haven't found product market fit yet. Imagine skins in a video game. People pay good money for those even though it's "just pixels", and I think there would be sustained interest to trade and own skins in a limited run, for example, autographed by an e-sports player. Or, in a digital trading card game, decks could be represented as a bundle of NFTs, and players could rent them to participate in a tournament without having to go buy all the carts themselves.

I don't think the current model where everyone and their mom doodles something and mints an NFT is sustainable without external anchors of value.
Oh, ok. This was a productive discussion wasn't it? :)
High resolution, usage rights, and, importantly, commissions. As with most things on the internet, furries have had this figured out for a long time.
The poor are already an insignificant tax base, I thought you meant 5% for the middle class.
I would say on the contrary. The breakthroughs do have visible results in the regular batteries. The Li-Ion of 2010 are nowhere near as reliable and powerful as the ones today. They're called the same, but they're very different.

https://cleantechnica.com/2020/02/19/bloombergnef-lithium-io...
What is missing in all these new "breakthrough battery" articles: what are the drawbacks?
I feel 13 years should at least be producing nonfiction essays or something that passes for journalism. It took 4 years for 5000 trump books to come out. 13 years for the upending of racism towards being against the whites should be plenty, too.
"not everybody is an actual full time Jira admin, and a Jira admin should’nt have the mental load of an Exchange admin for such an application".

Couldn't agree more. I've got admin rights to quite a few systems, including Exchange, which is a pretty big ship,so to speak. However, having tried Jira it's hands down the most convoluted piece of software I've ever seen. It took me less time to spin up an instance on AWS+ configure its access to the internet than it took to make a few changes on Jira. God knows how they managed to do It.
> Edit: Your comment has radically changed since I left my comment. My point is the same.

For historical purposes, my previous comment revision was a thesis without links, and I replaced it instead with links to make the same point. My entire kingdom for HN comment version history support.

In short, very few will willingly forgo resources and give up quality of life, and for those who do will have those resources consumed by others (China harvesting the world's oceans, Brazil clear cutting the rainforest, etc).

Agreed, the encrypted image has to be mounted and you have to admin/root access to capture the RAM contents.

Web Performance Case Study: Webpack SplitChunks
Indeed, I'm flagged all the time for pretty much anything. It's been non-stop since October 2020. I've discussed this with Dang, because it's often topics that are more mundane.

I wish a discussion could actually happen, because down voting based on emotion is actually hiding facts from people.
Maybe I'm missing something about the voltmeter example. My assumption is that the 100-volt-maximum meter can distinguish between 100 volts and more than 100 volts, in which case there's no problem. If the voltmeter doesn't accurately indicate whether or not a measurement is outside of its range then the statistician is correct that everything should be re-measured.

Do some people think that the possibility of not being able to take accurate measurements is the same as not having taken accurate measurements?

EDIT: Maybe the ambiguity is in what the engineer would have recorded if finding a voltage >100 volts while the other meter was broken? It's like undefined behavior in programming; if you know your software will have undefined behavior when encountering certain data then you can't trust whether the output is valid unless there's independent confirmation that the data won't cause undefined behavior. If the statistician doesn't have certainty that the engineer will have defined behavior (e.g. say "I couldn't complete the measurements" vs. undefined behavior like writing down "99" or exploding) then they of course want to re-measure.
I agree with the opening sentence that there is no large company pushing or rather peddling it. But the fact that it supports FP with immutability is really a well positioned design and with little bit of practice programmers get the hang of it very fast. Lack of for loop should not be an alienating factor, according to me. With NIF one can integrate with native code easily so, a team does not have to re-write the entire codebase just because Erlang has been chosen.
An institution use idiotic logic to downplay the achievements of someone who happens to be black? Famously something we know has never happened before, particularly in sports.

No this doesn’t prove anything, it’s just a data point that happens to fall on a trend line. In this case, HN sees something that looks like a nail and would rather fling the hammer out the window then consider using it.
Yeah, it was kids that bought them at a nickel or whatever they were, and were treated as such for a very long time. Same thing can be said of stamps, hot wheels, barbis, baseball cards, pre war Native American handicrafts, CRT monitors, electric guitars... whatever. Even the super high end side of things of art, cars or numismatics had relatively humble origins. Money always cost what the money was worth. Cars were used and tossed; on the luxury end of Duesenbergs or Bugattis being discarded cheaply in their time. The concept of a starving artist has been around for hundreds of years, and the original patrons were picking up impressionist art for cheap.

Collectibility needs a few things in the equation: rarity and here is the _big_ component, some shared nostalgia or cultural history. NFTs don't have that really any of these things.
Here's a link from Sept 2020 about how this was expected long in advance: https://mobiledevmemo.com/what-will-googles-deprecation-of-g... The key word here is "consensus". He's reporting that others held this expectation, not just himself. This step by Google does not yet go as far as predicted; there is a big difference between a modal opt-in/opt-out and an opt-out in settings.

Here's a link speculating on the impact of Apple's IDFA deprecation on Facebook, from January: https://mobiledevmemo.com/facebook-may-take-revenue-hit-from... It carries strong parallels to what is in-process at Google.

A few ad experts I follow say that Facebook and Google will claim increasing dominance in the ad space. Their logic is that as each ad vendor loses third party information, comparative advantage will favor companies with strong first party information. This will drive more ads toward Facebook as a relative share, even if they are still losing overall. I have no information to judge to what extent this claim holds.
Yes in fact artwork has traditionally been used for this sort of thing as well. It's the kind of thing that could sell for a million dollars, without any way for an outsider to determine that this is a fair price. NFTs just supercharge this dynamic.
I think his argument is that weak ties (counter-parties you have some connection with but not a deep one) are not inclined to punish you (increasing your bad luck) as much as are disinclined to give you the benefit of the doubt. I think luck includes "good luck" and "bad luck." His argument is that nonvirtuous behavior by an organization (or the ruling group of a nation) leads to fewer lucky breaks and less upside. He is not suggesting your bad luck increases so I don't think the substitution holds.
Nobody in those examples was arrested for jaywalking.

All of them were arrested for bullshit "contempt of cop" type offenses. If they could arrest people for jaywalking they would have done that because arresting someone for something they've actually done makes for a much harder charge to beat. Jaywalking is just the pretext.
Idk if your interpreting what I'm saying correctly. Idk why you think my or anyone's individual actions are relevant to how media reacts
The article doesn't mention the cathode, it just says the electrolyte is urea (CO(NH2)2) into which you can dissolve aluminum chloride (AlCl3) or, more precisely, an ionized variant like AlCl4- or Al2Cl7-. Changing between those two frees up some electrons. The cathode is probably lithium manganese dioxide, it changes between MnO2 and Li+ and LiMnO2. An aluminum-ion electrochemistry reaction is described here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-ion_battery#Electroc...

Note that it's oxidation as in oxidation/reduction, using chloride ions, not oxidation as in oxygen. Turning aluminum oxide into aluminum is done with acid/base reactions and high temperatures, I don't think it's achievable with rechargeable electrochemistry.
I live in the same County it happened. The 14 yr old girl is known to law enforcement. She and the 12 yr old escaped a center for trouble kids. She has harmed animals and set property on fire in the past according to the news reports.

These "kids" were being sought for 1/2 the day because the young one is insulin dependent. The cops caught up to them at this specific house because a neighbor walking by heard glass breaking and called it in. Cops called the home owner asking if anyone was home, homeowner said no but that there were weapons and ammunition in the house.

I give the cops a lot of credit, they tried hard it seems to get these kids out peacefully. But they shot the 14 yr old cause she leveled a gun at the cops in close quarters, in the garage. They shot her and then helped to save her life, pretty incredible and had to be hard.
What next a link from CNN, NYT or the Atlantic?
How hard would it be to replace a given sport's referees/judges/officials/umpires/whatever with with a system of sensors?

That question alone will tell you how objective the scoring will be. The winner of the 100m dash is almost completely unambiguous and objective, but sports like figure skating will always be doomed to some subjectivity in the scoring.
