Lol. Looks more like the first option to me, but I also feel that there is something very very special about these kind of efforts and people who don’t mind spending their time and energy on things like this, precisely because of the fact that the world is filled with the ‘useful-or-not’ types. In fact, I feel we need a lot more of these ‘do-I-find-it-personally-interesting-or-not’ types, so that the rest of us can keep riding the ‘whether-or-not’ bandwagon and when that one off ‘interesting-or-not’ turns out to be useful, in ways we didn’t foresee, we can ask them to join us.

USB wasn't around in the mid-90's

USB 1.0 was introduced in 1996, which is very much "mid 90s". Then again, it wasn't very popular and at 12Mbps for "full speed", it would not have been very fast.
A combination of religious sensitivities, active violent geopolitical contest, various political movements all but seeing Israel as a mirror of their own country and supporting/opposing it as a result, unresolved feelings from long Jewish history elsewhere, Israel being open enough to report frequently from, and sufficient weakness of all involved that all sides could potentially see a change in status quo.

And all that is a partial list of factors.

> This was the end of my relationship with Sony.

One day I couldn't transfer my legally, newly bought Sony Music CD to my Sony MD player for mobile use (on my also expensive car and mobile MD players) because of DRM.

That's when I decided I don't care anymore. What's the point if after all that money Napster and the newly released iPod provide a better experience.

The hybrid model makes sense, because some people (like me) enjoy being at the office with colleagues.

I don't want a situation where I am forced to always be in the office. But I also don't want to have colleagues I never see. That doesn't mean "mandate exactly X days at work". But it does mean "be at the office sometimes".

I was in a similar situation, and I think the slowness inherent to an interpreted language was a big frustration to all of us kids programming in BASIC in the 01980s.

Unfortunately I didn't have the guidance and direction Oscar Toledo G. had—my father did what he could, but he's just not an educator, and he's also not the same level of wizard as his father Oscar Toledo E.—so I didn't learn assembly until I was about 13, and then I learned from a book. (Also, I suspect Oscar Toledo G. has more innate aptitude than I do, but I think that in this case my lack of practice and feedback is what was holding me back.) I didn't write my first playable game until I was 29, which was http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/inexorable-misc/tetris. (I wrote some games earlier, but they were just unplayably bad.)

Bennet is pretty different than Netanyahu. For one thing he is religious. He is probably more hawkish from the perspective of the historical rights of the Jewish people in the region but he is also possibly more pragmatic. The religious zionist parties in the past had no problem sitting in coalition with left wing parties.

While the heart of the conflict is probably not something that can be resolved by anyone at this time at least I think he and his coalition will try to steer things in a better direction.

This is the first time in Israeli history where we have Israeli Arab (Palestinian) parties in the coalition/government in Israel. That's pretty big step forward. This potentially is the first step towards eventually forming a single state which is in my mind is the only solution that's going to work. For those who think the two state option is a solution this is maybe a step backwards.

If you think about a single state then the gap between some of the Israeli right (that considers the lands to be part of that state) and the Israeli left isn't that large. This is sort of what this government is about, that the civil aspects, the day to day life of everyone, can be decoupled from the nationalistic aspect. In a single state the Israeli right gets to "keep" those lands so that problem is solved. The problem of Jerusalem is also solved. That's not to say there aren't a whole bunch of other really difficult questions... Maybe this single state is a federation (so it's two states in the US sense but one country).

I'm really hopeful something good will come out of this.
If you find yourself doing things for approval, rather than out of goodwill, you are bound to be disappointed.

> Based on YouTube’s reply, seems they took his video down for promoting dangerous medical misinformation. If that’s what happened, I don’t see an issue.

After the bang up job they've done dealing with copyright strikes, demonetizing their political enemies, and providing virtually zero support and feedback for the very creators that contribute to the popularity of their platform, you'd have to be a sadomasochist to trust YouTube to be the arbiter for "dangerous medical misinformation" or any other "dangerous * misinformation" they decide to sensor.

Yeah - loved the book but this one was hard to swallow. I agree with him in one sense[1], but not to the extreme.

At some point in your life your time and resources will be quite constrained, and you simply can't help everyone. You need to strategize who to help, and identifying "leeches" requires some level of score keeping.

I've certainly had multiple people speak ill of me to others saying that I stopped trying to connect with them. They fail to mention that in the last N years, they never connected with me. It was always me initiating the phone call/email, etc. And I can say that definitively only because I had phone and email records going back years. Simple thing to script.

(BTW, not recommending you stop calling people because they never call you - merely illustrating people's lousy behavior in response to it).

HN is not anything like the old internet forums or BBSes.

Content would get moderated but you could still read messages. Even the ones that went against the dogma.

Not at HN, anti-dogma posts get downvoted into oblivion or flagged if they are bad enough. I recently posted a counter-opinion on burnout and was downvoted pretty badly. I didn't flame, and tried to articulate my point well.

HN is composed of the exact microcosm of people who have ruined the internet. It's just an echo chamber where counter-points are nuked. No different than facebook, or anything else. At least /. made you think about using your modpoints to downvote. Now it's free - and for many very pathetic people downvoting is a source of dopamine. It's far easier to drive-by-downvote without having to even articulate a reply as to why. Comparing this to the old BBSes and forums, you at least got a moderator note (or a VERY disparaging note from a user) in your PMs about why you're being moderated. It is wildly frustrating to type something well thought out and be downvoted into oblivion because your stance isn't en-vogue.

My point wasn't solely about the violence - what makes the atrocities worse (more notable, if you like) is that Western governments don't give half a shit - Israel is a "friend" of the US and UK, with billions in "aid" arms sales flowing into Israel every year.

That signals they may have conflict of interest. For example accidentally finding a treatment that works, could mean huge loss for vaccine business.

The village I’m referring to (in Rajkot district) is less than 5% Muslim and those are Ismaili, Vohra etc. Even for them what happens to Sunnis in Ahmedabad might as well be on Mars as far as they care. What the RSS think about Hinduism is also irrelevant. Modi is revered for one reason and one reason only; what he actually did to make those peoples lives better. I mentioned in my original post that his popularity has not translated into popularity for the BJP in the area. That too is for local reasons.

LOL my “screed reads like an apologia for Hitler.” You are getting too emotional. I’m explaining why Modi is popular. Don’t think about it if it upsets you but don’t shoot the messenger in any case.

Any hash algorithm for which a single collision has ever been generated would be an inappropriate choice for a URN system.

Re: malicious collisions, any modern hash algorithm currently in wide use, if "broken" by some kind of vulnerability, would cause far worse problems for the world than just some URN system breaking down. As such, literal man-millenia of cryptanalysis has gone into ensuring that there are no vulnerabilities in popular algorithms.

Re: accidental collisions, please note that 128 bits of entropy (i.e. a UUID) is already enough to ensure no accidental collisions before the heat-death of the universe. And most modern hashes have ≥256-bit residues.
The company has another upcoming drug they want to push rather than ivermectin: https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1402647948371005441

E: To add, I'm not a doctor but Brett Weinstein seems adamant that ivermectin is a very safe drug for humans.

One point he has made is that because ivermectin is safe for consumption, there's no (Or very little) downside to taking it in an attempt to prevent or help with COVID.

Who cares, they're poor lolz, save animal lives. /s
As an academic neuroscientist doing animal experiments, my hope is that animal research will eventually be obsolete, but think we are 1-2 centuries away from the required technology to do mechanistic and ethical experiments in ourselves. The article points out some questionable experiments but left out what we have learned/developed using animal models. This includes sars-cov-2 vaccines [1], the molecular identity of neurotransmitters [2], and gene therapies for SMA1, which typically kills children before their fifth birthday [3]. Animal activist's hearts are in the right place and we try to treat them as ethically as we can. I personally known several patients with ALS who have died and feel incredible urgency as a scientist. Animal testing is currently highly effective and irreplaceable. I would urge people who's perspective on animal testing is shaped by interactions with their pets to volunteer with charities that aid families with seriously ill children [4].

It's also worth noting that there's a huge bias toward pure software engineers on HN.

I do software, but I have to work with some large industrial hardware and it's so much easier to just have the hardware in front of you. Especially when you have to from time to time set up hardware that isn't even on the network yet.

Telepresence just isn't there yet, and the quality of internet connections and videoconference tools still suck. I have dual 4K monitors and still get 720p feeds or worse on most videoconference tools, you can't even read a damn whiteboard with that, let alone push physical reset buttons or e-stop buttons on actual hardware.

It's interesting to hear about stability concerns. Overall I think my organization moving to microservices improved our resiliency story. It allowed us to freeze sensitive legacy services and gradually build other surrounding services that incrementally replaced those legacy services with better-performing Go services. Rolling out new services is not onerous due to our Kubernetes platform (which was nowhere near as difficult to build on as some might suggest).

Strong service boundaries helped us, they didn't hold us back.

No. Ivermectin is off patent. There is no money to be made. That is the point. Everyone wants to invent new drugs and vaccines to make a buck. Btw, Merck is distancing themselves from Ivermectin because they have a new drug in the works. Please read/watch more.
I can see this being true in the stocks world. A lot of companies have IPOed without a plan for dividend payouts because their main business plan is investment in expansion. People who jumped onto amazon and tesla may have made fortunes but have gotten exactly 0 dividends.

> I'm not sure why this is happening now.

Dictatorial regimes are not always as efficient as they think or want others to believe. In fact they usually aren't on some scales.
why was this flagged? Geopolitics and changes in the political arena effect changes on all of us, irrespective of whether or not we know or particularly care about a given country. Israel specifically has tremendous influence in software (maybe adtech is the biggest software industry there?) - perhaps indirectly, or sometimes quite directly as well as in biotech.

Wars, conflicts that arise vs Palestine also play a huge role in our daily lives even if they aren't evident in our day to day existence. So it is a little disappointing that an article that is related to current events is flagged just because perhaps some participants don't like the outcome.
Cannot read the article.

Clawbacks are an entirely different matter.

And while yes, the absence of clawbacks means your money is then "yours", it also means that if you're hacked or defrauded, there's no way to recover funds because it's now "theirs".

For people who aren't engaged in illegal activity, the ability for banks and courts to retrieve illegally (or even accidentally) transferred funds is widely seen as a feature. Most people prefer the legal system to be able to ultimately determine who owns money (or real estate or shares of a company), instead of something anonymous and irreversible. After all, enforcement of property and contracts is the main reason government even exists, if you're a libertarian -- which means restoring property in case of theft and fraud and breach. (If you're a regular liberal or conservative, then it's one of the main reasons.) Are you suggesting it's beneficial for cryptocurrencies to be outside the realm of property rights and the legal system?

Your concerns about your funds being "yours" are really only worth worrying about if you live in a failed/anarchic/warlord/etc state... which fortunately isn't the case for most HN'ers, or most people generally.
>...and none of the alternatives are even 1/100 as good or have nearly the same reach as youtube

None of this is the concern of YT and the content that they choose to host. By that logic, someone should be able to spam HN with information about my car's extended warranty due to it's reach.
Right! Exactly!

That’s why I’m curious if it’s possible for creators to make 1-2 sentence videos that are profitable enough for the platform those videos are on that they can pay the creators well.
> Because integration is very difficult to achieve in one company (just look at Google vs Apple products), let alone across multiple.

This is clearly false. All sorts of industry defined standards work quite well. When companies don't create interoperability it isn't because it is too hard...
Most successful useful products do not sell solely based on the merit of the code/engineering behind them. While it's true that without your coding skills they may not make money, it's also true that without people's sales and networking skills, you will not make money.

Of course, when a company gets to a certain size, such leeches that you describe very clearly exist. The notion of "failing upwards"[1] is clear once you look for it. However, don't make the mistake of generalizing from the leeches who are in the minority to the others who are performing a useful role.

“ The paper qualifies that the author "is not a physicist" but an "entertainer", and it has received strong criticism from the scientific community, including having "no visible impact" and having "gaps both mathematical and physical in origin that jeopardize Geometric Unity as a well-defined theory, much less one that is a candidate for a theory of everything.”

The steps are an artifact of the X-axis, which is logarithmic. The first step occurs from 1 resource to 2 resources, on so on.

Listen to his podcast The Portal to see. That he works with Thiel simply means that he is able to work with people who have different opinions. Guilt by association is lazy, as is dismissing a theory as crackpot, especially from a serious intellectual with the credentials (eg Harvard) to back it up.
> an epic chasm between the nature of attacks happening on a daily basis at enterprises everywhere and the work being done by many in Infosec

Because they're not listening when we tell them to not roll their own crypto!

Or in a more serious tone: organisations often ignore best current practices, even after they spent a lot of money to have us look at their work and we told them what mistakes we found. Maybe we should indeed work more on making it easier to do things right, rather than just telling them how to do it right. It feels a bit like how you can at least distribute free needles to avoid infectious diseases when you can't stop people from being addicted to drugs.

Although if you look at pure research (not just advice not being followed), the gap indeed gets even bigger. Things like formal verification is great for academics but what would really help organisations is robust append-only, easy-to-restore backups to recover without paying after their stuff got encrypted again. But that's not sexy clever research, that's just some plumbing. While that sort of plumbing is not typically considered our job as security testers, it would be a solution that can make a real difference when looking at the attacks being done. (Criminals can still try blackmailing, but that seems to be much less lucrative on average, and good backups are also useful for accidental data destruction.)
