You keep changing your terms. First it was right-wingers, now it's conspiracy Twitter. What is "conspiracy Twitter," and what does it have to do with the right wing of US political discourse? Why are we conflating these terms so willingly?

I made direct reference to "The Great Reset," itself, from the very purveyors of it - the WEF. There's no need, nor any value, in trying to conflate my response to you with this strawman group you're forming.

> (e.g. no world authoritarian government yet)

Your interpretation of the world is highly specious. Have you been in a coma for these past 1.5 years?

> One of its least helpful usages

Very interesting choice of words, least helpful. Seems to me like you have a strong ideological alignment with the goals of the World Economic Forum.

See, it's so easy to flip your entire script and end up presenting the exact case being made by the conspiracy theory people. The New World Order fanatics could see the WEF as their fictitious enemies moving on to a new strategy, specifically because there is now an authoritarian government established. And it could be seen as a sloppy form of punditry, overfit atop a very specific and narrowly-targeted interpretation of the world, making the conspiracy people all the more mad that more people don't see things their way. Because there could be "real collective action," if more people did see it their way.

Under those considerations, I would be naive to be any less skeptical of your position, than I am of the conspiracy theory strawmen you're establishing here.

The actual "The Great Reset," pursued by the WEF is concerning specifically because it seeks to align economic interests globally, forcing them into a densely-regulated system through negative incentives. It forgoes and utterly mocks the notion that knowledge ought to be distributed, decentralized, and localized. There are not just huge economic concerns here, but ethical ones as well. Wars will be fought over the disagreements spawned from the aims of these zealots.

Poor people have no excess cash and use debt to buy goods from companies and therefore the wealthy shareholders accumulate even more money.

Energy security, not propping up authoritarian regimes with terrible human rights records, not requiring military interventions to protect a stable supply of oil.

They are quite accurate. But most things we do on computers are things we want to look up and see. Text is scannable, a voice message is not. You can pan and zoom in a map, but not in dictated instructions. Listening to books and articles is fine, but you want to see a movie.

This isn't really true.

Governments can print money. And they can raise taxes (immediately upping their revenue). Those are their "assets". Much more reliable ones than the average business.

Now look at most businesses. What assets do they have? Second hand manufacturing equipment at best, basically scrap. And that's the companies that have at least some. What assets does Facebook have? A brand name is the main one, you can't resell that really... Lots of western companies are basically hollow.

While I am certainly willing to believe that illicit meth is...bad for you/toxic and the smoke is as well, I'm not finding much to support the idea of it being the primary cause of (or major contributor to) "meth mouth" in a quick search.

In contrast, every source I find cites the things the prior poster mentioned as the causes.

For example:

https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/meth...

> The dental problems may be caused by a combination of poor nutrition and dental hygiene as well as dry mouth and teeth grinding caused by the drug.

I would think they would be mentioning that the toxic smoke is a cause or contributor if there was evidence to support it.

> I wonder when we'll see the last GUIs, and everything will be speech-based

The answer is never. The reason is that different kinds of UIs are effective for different kinds of tasks.

I can't remember who I heard this from, but they asked the audience to imagine a speech-based steering wheel for cars. "Turn left... more... more... MORE!!! LESS! LESS!"

Speech also has problems with sensitive data in public places ("Please enter in your password" or "Your stock portfolio is now worth ..."), has problems with noise, and can also interfere with some parts of your cognitive processes. In addition, speech is serial, which means that you can pretty much only process one stream at a time. Contrast this with a web page that you can skim, or a visualization that can show a lot of data.

Different kinds of interactions have different tradeoffs. Speech is good for some tasks, and not very good for others.
Going to jump in and reply. Patreon explicitly doesn’t do Pay to views, doesn’t have interaction gated behind paywalls, and is meant as just a straight transfer of $. Fanhouse does a lot of these things which counts as digital transactions. This differentiation makes sense to me.

> Isn't that still in the $500-$1,000 range of non-redundant storage?

Sure. Let's add redundancy and bump by an order of magnitude to give some headroom -- $5-10k is a totally reasonable amount to fundraise for this sort of application. If it were legal, I'm sure any number of universities would happily shoulder that cost. It's miniscule compared to what they're paying Elsevier each year.
I don't release much open source code, most of the code I work on can't be released publically.

Alberta oil sands oil is the most expensive and dirtiest oil source on the planet. So when oil demand drops, the Alberta oil sands will be the first place to stop operating. Plastic will be made from the cheapest oil.

It's also possible that eventually we'll make plastic using CO2 as the feed-stock rather than oil.
Rust strings are guaranteed to be valid utf-8. Mutating a string byte directly might result in an invalid String. You perform a free conversion to bytes, mutate the slice, and then perform an free but unsafe conversion back to String, or a potentially expensive but safe (utf-8 validation) conversion. If you want to handle non-ascii, then you must search the string for unicode character indices, which is not free.

Hrm, my wording might have been a bit off itself but I mostly just wanted to highlight and rebut what could be worded in your original statement as a sort of fatalist "Even if we reduce what's coming from Canada it won't effect overall production". I do agree that the impact won't solve global warming or potentially cause a reflection in gas pump prices, but the supply is definitely elastic and while the demand is inelastic in the long term short term price fluctuations do actually cause short term fluctuations in demand so there is a fair bit of elasticity there as well.

People will find ways to reduce their car commute when prices spike and, especially, oil power plants will defer operation to cheaper (possibly less clean :sigh:) alternatives.
> These are not fake accounts, but actual developers in our community who have been using Garnet. While a couple of these accounts could be newly created ...

This is heavily discouraged here, and most of the times it will make users old angry and flag your post. I'd recommend that only 2 or 3 of the main developers are active in the thread. (Or perhaps a power user that is good replying instead or a developer.) There are not hard rules about this, but too many new users is a bad idea.

> all comments are actual

But some of the comments are too optimistic and look like shills, that make old users unhappy and flag the post. I'd recommend to write only one top level comment explaining that you are the developers, and some backstory, and then only reply to questions from old users.

It's very important to reply to technical questions, with clear and technical answers. It buys a lot of good will of old users. (Avoid adjectives like "awesome" , no one used "awesome" yet, but some comments are too optimistic for the dry style of HN).

> and anyone is free to share their opinion on the project

And everyone is free to complain and flag. It's not a good idea to break the explicit or implicit rules of the site. I think bogota first made a few technical questions. It's a good sign that some old user cares enough about your post to ask a technical question.

The questions are unanswered yet. It's not mandatory to reply to every single question (some questions are bad, sometimes they are repetitive, but not in this case). Anyway, I'd recommend to answer most of them.

Try to send an email to the mods and ask how to post again and any additional recommendation.
It's definitely a point of view problem. We currently own a 90sqm, 3-bed house in the UK and it's not small by any measure here. On this street there are definitely smaller houses than this and people live here with families just fine. Also quite a wealthy area not a dump.

From that point of view, 400sqm sounds positively like a mansion to me. Sure, would love that much space, but I have no idea if houses this large even exist anywhere nearby to buy, I've certainly haven't seen any.
Hey, thanks for clarifying the source / scope of your statement. I admit that I did not read your link.

> What do you mean by "inefficiecies" at the end of your second paragraph?

I mostly mean the effects of scale that large food production centers can bring. These usually manifests in specialized workforce and efficient use of financial resources e.g. 2-3 shift slaughterhouses, use of large mashines for agriculture, soil management. In effect, this allows for a larger part of the populace to take another role in society than being a farmer e.g. ideally doctor, professor, teacher, construction worker, taxi driver, et cetera.

PS (1) I am a fan of permaculture and eating from my own garden, and I see that there are many a defect in the way we are producing food these days. (2) The World Food Program has some great successes to show for, and I admire many of those systemic grass roots projects.

That's so true. In college I designed a discrete stack-based CPU and by far the biggest chip count was in the microcode EPROMs and SRAM for the register file. In those days RAM was fast, so it didn't have a cache (which would be even more SRAM).
What does thay actually achieve though? You've still given an 'opened' hit, even if urlex expands it on the server instead of client-side (which would be truly useless).

You're disguising location and device information, but that's about it?
What documents (books, scientific articles) benefit from specifically is a number of highly consistent, highly accurate identifiers: DOI (scientific articles), ISBN (published books), and others (OCLC identifier, Library of Congress Catalogue Number, etc.)

With the addition of hashsums (even MD5 ad SHA1, though longer and more robust hashsums are preferred), a pretty reliable archive of content can be made. It's a curious case where increased legibility seems to be breaking rather than creating a gatekeeper monopoly.

I've been interested in the notion of more reliable content-based identifiers or fingerprints themselves, though I've found little reliable reference on this. Ngram tuples of 4-5 words are often sufficient to identify a work, particularly if a selection of several are made. Aggreeing on which tuples to use, how many, and how to account for potential noise / variations (special characters, whitespace variance, OCR inaccuracy) is also a stumbling point.
It depends if the certificate itself contains an absolute timestamp for the expiration time, or a validity period.
You're sampling the wrong population - what you're doing is akin to finding the most popular "development environment" in a company by asking the entire staff complement (including those in marketing, facilities management and finance) their proficiencies. You're likely to settle on Excel as the preferred tech platform. Instead of asking everyone, ask your developers who'll be doing the actual work.
I think another major factor that this article didn't point out is drug purity - and what those specific impurities are.

Particularly with drugs like meth, which can be manufactured clandestinely by people who don't understand chemistry well, there are a lot of intermediates or potential reaction byproducts which are orders of magnitude more cardiotoxic or otherwise more harmful than pure methamphetamine. And that's before you get into the potential toxicity of any intentionally-added cutting agents.

I think ketamine synthesis is more involved, so it's likely that illegally manufactured ketamine is comparatively cleaner than illegally manufactured meth, but illicit ketamine is still probably harder on your body than pharmaceutical grade for the same reasons.

Illegal drug manufacturers have a moderate economic pressure to increase purity, but - short of not immediately killing users and losing your customer base - they have little economic incentive to ensure that the impurities that remain in the final product are safe or inert.

Yes, 500mgs of meth a day is almost certainly not good for your health. But these studies are usually not able to control for purity of the meth that is consumed, so I expect for these studies finding adverse effects of chronic use - at least some portion of this effect size is a result of purity issues rather than purely based on dosage.

> revoking permits after a company has spent billions laying pipes using government-granted permits does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I agree that it's not ideal, but we have to remember things are changing rapidly, and we need to take decisive action if we have any hope of minimizing the most severe impacts of climate change.

With the rapid price decline in solar and batteries, the shift to EVs and so many other things going on, we have to remember that anyone who invests in the "old way" is taking a huge risk. In this case their risk did not pay off.

They could have chosen not to take that risk, or invest in something less risky.

I learned very on in my founder career that invoking potential legal action is a big red button you must be extraordinarily cautious about using. Chances are if you need it, other core team members will be telling you as much. And using it at the wrong time looks like setting off a bomb in a restaurant because your water glass is empty for ten minutes.

So much egotism from the CEO in this exchange. I'm glad this was published and posted to HN because it's a valuable lesson to learn by example from.
> Government debt is backed by nothing, hence it is inflationary.

Which is strange. You would expect if that was the case people to charge the government non-trivial amounts of interest. And yet, the interest rate the government spends on interest for a 20-year loan is 2.1% APR.
Yet somehow total tax burden for those in the state is well above other places, including those with functional public services. I wish it were easier to figure out where the money goes.
> you don’t seem to realize that it’s a problem that most of the content we are exposed comes from a single culture.

I don't think GP's desire to minimise language barriers among 27 co-operating governments implies that they are oblivious to cultural bias.

I do think the latter is an issue worth addressing, but this is probably not an effective or appropriate way to do it.
You can have more than 2 sales. If you are making under $1mil in app revenue in a year, Apple takes a 15% cut instead of 30%.
I'm curious what do you mean by "bad" in that context? In my book, asking people to practice or learn a new language is not inerently bad.

Decision-making should not be reduced to the law of the majority. If Europe wants to push people to learn and practice more foreign languages, I'm all for it. (Disclosure: that starts with me, I speak 3 languages and I'm learning a fourth one).
Apart from all the silent letters, which are fairly regular (and I assume is what you're getting at) there's a fair number of pronunciation exceptions.

See the different ways of pronouncing "tous" or the different words that have irregularly silent "l"s (e.g. fusil) and other irregularly silent consonants in the middle of words (e.g. automne).

French has quite a lot of exceptions to its pronunciation rules in addition to its already fairly complex regular relationship between letters and sounds.

EDIT: Oh I forgot my pet peeve: there are so many exceptions to the pronunciation of "er" that it's kind of misleading to give its pronunciation as the equivalent of an English "a" as in "slate" (hiver, cher, cancer, mer, the list goes on and on and on).

> more about "how much legal scrutiny can this legal case withstand".

That is entirely a question of jurisdiction. The US is famous for its deregulation, usury only covers loan interest rates - whereas in Germany the limit in §138 BGB is something that is "obviously not in a fair relationship between the payment and the value received for it", plus our whole anti-trust regulation.

The German Bundeskartellamt is already prosecuting the big tech companies, the EU anti-trust agencies also have woken up from their slumber... we will see.
Honestly seems like a pretty stock "Hollywood Sci-Fi UI on Transparent Glass".

It's fine, don't get me wrong, but if you focus on any of the shots and start thinking "what does this mean" the illusion falls apart instantly. You'd find out it's just bunch of random shapes, lines and squiggles in most cases, that have pretty much no informational value, no matter what they're supposed to convey.

The transparent screens are universally known to be utterly impractical in the real world, but they add visual complexity to the shot, hence why they are stubbornly persistent in movies and series.
