I would like to know if you do touch type. Touch typing plays huge role in keyboard experience imo.

In my experience, linux has the most ergonomic shortcuts (combination of windows and mac - linux mint with cinnamon desktop) with little bit of customization. If you have a habit of not touching mouse much, honestly linux rocks.

Mac has few consistent keyboard shortcuts but you can't operate system without mouse/touchpad. And for many keyboard shortcuts, you need to press awakwardly 3-4 keys simultaneously.

Windows has some good shortcuts but it is not designed to use by keyboard soley. Focus seems more on mouse.

Also I would highly recommend mechanical keyboards. You can configure good amount of shortcuts using control key and press it using your palm.
Grades don't matter. They matter if you really want to follow the beaten path. Sure, go ahead... join McKinsey or something like that.

Being good a learning matters. Being good at executing matters. Being good at communicating matters. Being good at leading matters.

Grades and credentials are just gatekeeping invented by people that are worse than talented people. Grades are for status not for wealth and even much less for creative and fulfilment. It's a losers game. I played it and it was stupid I will never allow my children to play that game.
There are already laws that would make such abuse illegal. Abuse of charities is not a new problem.

I'm not a lawyer - but it seems like one obvious factor would take into account where the artwork purchased by the charity resides. Is it in a private residence? A freeport? Probably not really a charity.

Is it hanging on the wall in the Art Institute of Chicago? Might be fine.

Then the question is what happens if the charity tries to sell it back to a private collector at some future point. Might be allowed as long as back taxes are paid assuming some appreciation schedule.

I think the more general point is that policy is _hard_, and to assume that something doesn't work because you've thought about it for 2.5 seconds is probably a bad assumption to make. Most of our existing laws/policies would be similarly easy to attack if distilled to one sentence. There's a reason actual policy and laws are really long.
Sorta. Inheriting cash is no different than being gifted cash. And you would have to report that as income.

Here's the biggest issue: none of this is is scientific. None of it is quantifiable, none of it is repeatable, none of it is falsifiable.

Oh, I'm sure you can take a lab rat, vivisect him, introduce certain chemicals, and observe a change in behavior. But you can't do that with people.

Furthermore, behavior is one thing. But the mind -- human consciousness -- is more than the physical organ of the brain.

When the doctors prescribe medication to rectify a "chemical imbalance" in your brain, they aren't actually preforming a measurement. And what's more, after the medication is administered, there's no objective test to determine if the treatment is effective.

How do you measure depression? What are the units? You've got nothing but a subjective assessment. "This feels better." Or "This does not." At the end, microdosing is no more scientific than healing crystals, religion, or taking a walk in the park.

And yet, I absolutely believe a walk in nature is better than a chemically induced lobotomy.
I can see how the author wants us to learn about this awesome life hack of going for walks. However, one can microdose and take walks at the same time. So the question becomes: How do they stack? Unfortunately, this was not explored.

I use React (well, Preact) every day.

I use it 2014-style. Class-based components, componentWillMount, render, callbacks, and that's about it.

I love this workflow, and generally structure all my UIs this way regardless of platform - have a state struct and then fully render the UI as a function of the state. To me, that's the big hurrah for using React.

But I have no clue why React is at version 18 and why it keeps getting new features. I'm perfectly happy making quite complicated UIs with the pattern I know well. Should I be following along? Does it matter?
Thanks!

I am definitely going to work hard on this project. I would love to hear more about what usecases you think might be missing, dont hesitate to add feature requests as issues in the repository on github when you think of something else.
Because software is the weak link, not the hardware. It only costs Zerodium $200k for a VMware virtual machine escape [1] which would allow GB/s data exfiltration in contrast to a Spectre attack which only has data rates on the order of KB/s [2]. Finding zero-days in mass deployed, foundational software like operating systems or hypervisors only costs on the order of $100k-$1M and occurs routinely. In contrast, finding vulnerabilities in hardware that breach confidentiality (read-protection) or integrity (write-protection) are so rare that it is a media event when one is discovered every decade or so of aggressive searching. Hardware is literally 100x harder to successfully attack than software. We would be lucky if we had systems that were only as secure as their hardware since they would be 100x better than the status quo.

the argument went from

rich investors being wise or not (you again)

To make it short: Just because Elon or rich investors buy doesn't mean they are unwise (for themselves) just that it's bad for the world (ecologically), so basically both can be true. Just the difference between thinking about themselves and thinking about other people as well...

Also specifically for houses, at what point are you expected to make such a declaration? You don't really own the house until you've completely paid off the mortgage on it. Until then it really belongs to the bank or mortgage lender. So does that mean you're free to not make such a declaration until your 30 year mortgage is up? And what if you take out a second mortgage on the property during that time?
Show HN: I wrote a book on practical electronics design
> Uhh, we also weren't evolved to read books. We're post-evolution, even if we're not post-biology.

Reading doesn't pose a challenge to our basic needs (food, water, shelter, clothing, sanitation), whereas Mars and seasteading do. The hill climbing barrier was considerably lower for our species.

Outside of the accomplishments for science and engineering, there is likely little benefit in building up Mars as a habitable destination for humans to live at scale. Unless the economies of space mining can support it, there's really no reason to be there beyond a thousand or so individuals.

I don't buy the astroid survival argument either. In the near term, putting humans on Mars does not de-risk the potential for an asteroid to cause human extinction. Mars colonies will likely still be reliant upon Earth for survival for a hundred years to come as they will not have adequate resources, support, or manufacturing capabilities for self-sustenance let alone growth. It's unlikely that a small colony could Matt Damon themselves back from the brink without a large industrial civilization backing them.

Research into enhancing human lives here on earth and protecting our environment will pay greater dividends. I'd even wager that advances in AI/ML, BCI, and biology outpace space colonization tech due to their immediate applications and inherent venture capital fundability. (SpaceX will be funded because of the DoD, NASA, and terrestrial communications. Mars not so much.)

> global climate change is evidence that we are past our current carrying capacity.

The current economic and political regime doesn't curtail dumping carbon into the atmosphere. The correlation with population is complicated. China and the United States, two of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions, have slowing population growth if you discount immigration.

Tiny nitpick--we'd like to stop referring to it as a "mode" since the new gradual strategy is opt-in per feature. :-)

Circular argument: creativity is human/social construct therefore AIs can’t “really” be creative. I predict that AIs will evolve their own art forms and styles. We might not like or understand it, either.
Arguing that one valuation is too low/high is and admission that the valuation is wrong and you are therefore open to accusations of fraud. So maybe “no legal argument” is an oversimplification, but no reasonable legal argument can be made without an admission that the other party needs to update their valuation in their benefit.

No, I think this is unfair. I "like" most Twitter replies that make me think, even if I personally don't like it. Unless pg has said something, we can't infer any intent from a button.

Well, you can, of course. But I wouldn't bet money you're right.

It'd be interesting to know what pg thinks, since he vouched for Amjad in the first place. But the whole "X liked Y, so X endorses Z" is highly suspect logic, to put it mildly.
We have a mechanism to handle this exact scenario. We classify certain user input events, like keypresses and clicks, as "discrete" events. Updates that are triggered from discrete event will always be processed sequentially. We don't batch multiple events. Although we do batch multiple setStates within the same event, which is different. "Automatic batching" refers to the updates themselves, not the events.

We call non-discrete events (like mousemove) "continuous", and for those we will batch updates across multiple events.

We've been testing this at Facebook for a while and we think our model is really solid, handling all the common cases and a bunch of edge cases, too. If you try it out and find something unexpected, please let us know and we'll fix it!

Gridcoin's apparent decentralization is much less than a system that uses mining rewards because it uses a committee to maintain a list of projects that can simply assert that people have done relevant work in order to receive rewards.

https://gridcoin.us/guides/whitelist.htm

I haven't totally gamed it out but I think the committee could break Gridcoin by means such as refusing to approve any projects, or approving only "captive" BOINC projects that agree to distribute rewards the way the committee wants. Alternatively, BOINC itself could get shut down, or all of the currently-approved projects could have their credentials taken over by someone else and start issuing rewards in a sketchy way.

As I understand it, Gridcoin basically has an identified group of oracles who together appoint and unappoint other oracles who are empowered to issue rewards. While this is clever, it's not very decentralized or permissionless.

(Maybe I should pick on BOINC itself even more than the committee as the "authority" here, since I think BOINC's infrastructure is directly used by the whitelisted projects to assign tasks and announce rewards for completing them. So BOINC is really in a position to tamper with every part of the reward process.)

Which is why it's important to compel everyone that can get the vaccine to do so, so that we can protect the minority of people who have legitimate reasons for not being vaccinated and will always be in danger of being exposed to the virus if community transmission is ongoing. Once enough people in a group are vaccinated, the odds of the virus spreading from host to host go down to minuscule and essentially irrelevant levels.

> If you read the reports, what they have collected, this is nothing if you compare what kind of volumes are being moved every day.

I saw this. Watched the whole Europol conference. Those numbers are indeed low: 9 tons of cocain, 5 tons of cannabis/hashish. Some guns and 15m USD, if I remember correctly.

I still don't think I exaggerated. There's no way that's all they got from it after 3 years of eavesdropping. There's just no way that those tens of thousands of messages only incriminated some drug lords. What they did with these press conferences was a pure PR, they just wanted something for the press, but I still believe that the actual aftermath of this will much larger.
> Yeah, she put out the CD of clearly copyrighted images as bait to trick Capcom into stealing them.

I didn't say that. You said we can assume she contacted them. I'm telling you why we can't assume that: It's more profitable to litigate outright, rather than seeking an agreement. So profitable indeed, that some photographers (not necessarily her) take advantage of the fact.

> Poor Capcom!

You must've never dealt with employees. They'll just do stuff and you're on the hook for it. You can have workshops on legal issues and they'll forget and ignore it all.

Why the hell would Capcom risk a lawsuit by copying (crappy-quality) images from a CD? To save a few bucks on a multi-million dollar game production? Do you think there's some guy there with a monocle, twisting his mustache, amused by the thought of having stolen the work of some photographer?

I can almost guarantee the whole thing transpired like I said: Some employee copied something and it took on a life of its own. Nobody paid attention to the license. Not everybody is a nerd about international copyright. Not everybody would automatically assume that a random picture of a spider web is entitled to copyright in the first place.
There's an angle I'm not really seeing talked about - any wealth vehicle that allows the wealthy to defer their tax burden to a substantially later point in time creates massive incentive for those individuals to push for reduced taxation on that vehicle in the long-haul. It's one thing to want reduced taxes because it'll save you 8% on your %6M income each year, but another to want reduced taxes because it'll save you 8% on 30 years of deferred taxes.
From the wording of this “apology” it’s clear that this is just meant to save face and damage control. I don’t think he would’ve reached out had the author not published the first blog post.

There are real world countries that you can visit for this.

For some reason, people that promote legalization are never willing to look at countries that have done so.

We have this here in Germany and I have to tell you, it is not a success story to say the the least. There is a huge problem with human trafficking. Yes, people always say it will go away if you legalize it. The data says otherwise, it gets in fact worse. All the red light district are also controlled by criminal gangs. They are mostly ignored by the state as long a they "help" with collecting the taxes. And this is what is happening in a strong state with a relative low level of corruption.

Again there are enough states that allow them and the list if growing.

Same here.

I don't think the problem is with advocacy itself, but the way people always pick apart examples, leaving no effective way to tell stories anymore.

Sometimes type checking is good, other times it gets in the way. It would be interesting if there were a way to compose a program with no typing, in order to quickly get to a MVP. Once done, you could then interact with the compiler/computer in a way to fully specify intent, and result with a fully typed codebase.

Being able to loosen up typing would likely have its uses as well.
They did. In many places you have to get the proper vaccinations in order to play on a sports team, attend public school, attend college, work with animals, work with children, etc. That's why I don't understand why the COVID-19 vax is a big deal given that we've had vaccine requirements in play since the 50s.

Well, I for one don't use Twitter or pile on for mob jobs elsewhere. At worst, I can bore someone with my multiple responses and counter-arguments on HN!

>I agree completely that one of the main drivers of mob behavior is that it feels good. However, I don't pretend to be immune to that dark corner of human psychology.

I'm not immune to other dark corners of human psychology, but I'm pretty immune to that. I hate mobs, and I might even argue the opposite way than those who have the upper hand in such a situation, just for balancing things out (a sort of "devil's advocate").

I think because of some spectrum issues, one of my problems is the opposite, being too neutral to bond with my peer group (even if I have one).

So, even though I'm generally leftist, for example, and can defend even Stalin with the best of them, I can also argue for conservative positions just as easily (and at the very least, don't reject the arguments of the other side immediately and impulsively, as many do. I have to analyze them to death, and will happily accept one if it sounds logical to me.
It is. Poolside renamed itself to Poolsuite sometime in the past few weeks. They said something about a trademark infringement claim. (Whether that's real or just part of their cultivated image/backstory, I don't know.)
In the US a "coercible local" is given a far less scary descriptor of confidential informant, or state's evidence. There are far more of those than there are "coerced locals" in the service of Russia or China.

This story was at #1 all day yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424195. Under normal circumstances we downweight indignation threads—we have to, because otherwise they would dominate HN's front page every single day, and that's not the kind of site HN is supposed to be.

However, we moderate HN less, not more, when YC-funded startups are involved in a story (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). In keeping with that principle, we took a hands-off approach with yesterday's thread.

Today's post, however, is a follow-up to yesterday's. Indeed it's basically the same story. There are well-established moderation rules about that: repetition is bad for curiosity [1]; we downweight follow-ups [2] unless they add significant new information (SNI), defined as information capable of supporting a substantively different discussion [3].

Moderating HN less does not mean not moderating it at all—that would be a gigantic loophole. Having bent the rules drastically to accommodate yesterday's thread, I don't think it would serve the community to do the same thing all over again the next day. Indeed, we've gotten a significant number of emails about this post, asking us why it was on the front page when the same story was so prominent yesterday. That's because HN users are used to the site not being overly repetitive. People come to HN for new and above all different things (diffs are what's interesting [4]), and we need to take care to preserve that property.
