Thank you. Since it's not a primary function of the app, we don't dwell on it online. The biggest stuff is in the language doc.

In a simple scenario, every edit you make to a document is recorded individually and hashed with the hash of the previous edit. This forms the chain. The chain itself can be stored anywhere. It's useless if you don't have the document. But if you do have the document or any fragment, you can instantly tell what version you have and if it has any differences from the original -- without seeing the original.
OpenBazaar Is Being Revived
I've just bought my first desktop in about 20 years. The main reason, the bloody clutter.

I have two (work issued) laptops, one that runs Windows and one for NixOS, both with SSDs that are too small for me to dual boot effectively. Then there are my two external monitors, my mechanical keyboard and mouse. I need a keyboard and mouse switch as there are an inadequate number of USB ports on the laptops and I want to share peripherals, USB-C hubs on the laptops to get video out to more than one monitor and also provide power simultaneously and read/write SD cards.

My desk is an absolute cluttered mess.

Minimalist laptops/tablets just end up producing more clutter for me, are hard if not impossible to upgrade, and tend to suffer from planned obsolescence. Now I don't need to travel to work every day, I'm happy to have a desktop at home and then use a co-working space with a Raspberry Pi when I do need to go into the office.
> tricked out desktop (intended for gamers, I think)

Generally this is just a marketing/SEO thing. A huge percentage of desktop hardware and accessories get the word "Gaming" slapped on the front even though they have nothing to do with gaming. Keyboards, mice, mousepads, headsets, speakers, monitors, cables, etc.
The issue isn't the topic, it's comment quality.
When you start showing your face in public, there's no reasonable expectation that some parties will be able to see it, but other parties won't. If you want to keep a secret, don't share it.

When you start leaving fingerprints in public, there's no reasonable expectation that some parties will be able to pick them up, but other parties won't. If you want to keep a secret, don't leave fingerprints anywhere.

When you start dropping hair strands or dead skin cells in public, there's no reasonable expectation that some parties will be able to sample it for DNA collection, but other parties won't. If you want to keep a secret, don't drop hair or skin cells.
Ah, cool. I was too focused on the GPUs! edit: which... actually appear to be the desktop-named parts! I swear this wasn't always the case...

My biggest problem so far has been finding alternatives that are not just as fraudulent. So far picking a retail store and only getting things that are "available for pickup" even if I plan to have it shipped seems to work for me, but that greatly reduces the available options. Buying direct from the manufacturer often works, but some mfgrs have switched to a storefront on Amazon :(
Totally agree - just watched a bit on Youtube out of nostalgia, and was taken aback by the charm of it for sure. There's a restraint that I don't think I appreciated when I was watching it as a young teenager - it's defined as much by the the places that it doesn't go (that other shows did, as you say) than the places that it does
The PDF is at https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid... :

Some details of the positive test collection dates by state:

*Illinois Jan 7, Jan 20, Jan 22, Feb 21, Feb 24
*Massachusetts Jan 8
*Wisconsin Feb 3
*Pennsylvania Feb 15
*Mississippi Mar 6

5 were Black, 2 were Latino/Hispanic, 2 were White

Page 20 shows that there was a lot of unbalance for the states with samples. Texas for example only had 84 samples processed, but Illinois had 2,426.

As I see it, the real problem was making google into a for-profit corporation.

The world would be a better place if google search had been made a not-for-profit (maybe like wikipedia?)

By this point I would (maybe) pay a monthly subscription for a really good websearch like google circa 2005-2010
> How do they know where my SSID is? Is my phone sharing that info with them?

Yes if you have it turned on and you're signed into Google.

> Is their advertising now using the SSIDs I pass by to track me even when I explicitly turn off GPS?

Turning off GPS stops GPS, not SSID tracking. Modern Android doesn't have a GPS toggle though. It has a "Location" toggle which stops the OS from sending the data to Google. However it does not turn off the location feature in Google Chrome (or other web browsers).

> If I turn off location history in Google, does this prevent that information being shared with others in the ad industry chain?

Google doesn't share their data with 3rd parties.

> Do I need to track all them down and find how to opt out of them having a database of my frequent locations?

No.
Deviantart? Seems you're in the wrong millennium? Deviantart started in 2000 and at that time I fondly remember us making fun of 90s web design by creating mock sites with 88x31 graphics. In -97 I remember it being all the rage though. :) Three, four or five years may not sound like a lot of time, but the web was changing at a pretty rapid pace back then.
PinMode: Using Digital Functions with Arduino
This is somewhat ahistorical. The concern was patent licensing fees and it impacted way more than just Google.

H.264 is (and pretty much all MPEG standards are) a patent-encumbered format. Anyone who encodes, decodes, or otherwise uses the format needs to pay licensing fees to a confusingly-named patent pool called MPEG-LA. Google is entirely capable of paying those fees; random webmasters and Free Software hackers are not.

The only reason why this didn't become as much of a problem as I'm making it out to be is because the H.264 pool had a very affordable or zero-royalty tier (can't remember which) for free Internet video distribution. At one point it looked like MPEG-LA was going to shitcan this tier, which would have basically killed every video site at the time except for YouTube. This wasn't an empty threat: previous ISO-standard formats like MPEG-4 Part 2 didn't come to an agreement on web video, so it was never used on the web. Macromedia wound up licensing On2 VP6 (WebM's predecessor) in Flash specifically because it had no known patent encumbrance.

Today, we have H.265, which is a licensing nightmare even for premium video providers and hardware manufacturers that are ordinarily used to paying licensing fees. AFAIK it's something like 3 patent pools and a bunch of other companies now?
To add to that, with a laptop (tactile keyboard), it's also easier to type notes while maintaining eye contact. That goes a long way to show respect and look engaged.

On a side-note, I do this on video calls too, keeping the window near where the camera is located so that there is still eye contact.
I think I agree with that "more timeless valuation metric". Would you mind sharing what it is saying about current conditions?

I recommend trying Overcast if you haven't already excluded it for some reason. I spend a lot of time in it, with relatively few issues. The only one I encounter is that it sometimes starts using 100% CPU when still downloading an episode and turning on Airplane Mode.
I'm happy to keep paying Marco $10 a year to leave Overcast's UI alone... I'd do the same for a secure but otherwise invisible browser.
I wonder how much of current asset appreciation is due to our largest trading partners (China, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan) wanting to make sure they can maintain large trade surpluses to maximize manufacturing employment. Rather than send trade proceeds home, they buy stuff in the US (treasuries and equities) to keep exchange rates stable.

While it is true that commute times might go down when freeways get wider, that's only half the coin. The purpose of the 5 is not to facilitate commuters like many other local highways in SD and LA, but to facilitate international trade between the U.S. and the world. Speed goes down, yes, but throughput goes up. Throughput is what is needed when you are trying to move trucking traffic from Central America through the southland north up the the central valley of CA, or east along the 10. It is what is needed when you need to move trucking traffic carrying all goods ordered by Americans from Asia from the port of long beach or LA into the heartland, because the freight rail grades are already at capacity. It's like having a bucket of water with a few holes vs a lot of holes; rate of flow might be unchanged per hole (lane), but you are moving more water (trucks) in the given span of time with the bucket with more holes. Right now there are dozens of supercarriers anchored off the coast of Long Beach, waiting weeks to unload goods into clogged logistical networks.

In a future where everyone takes a bus or a train or a bike to work, they are still ordering all their shit online from Asia and stocking their grocery stores with food from Central and South America, and there will therefore always be increasing demand for the movement of more goods over time as the population continues to grow.

Racing slicks are a type of flat tire designed for maximizing grip in dry conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_slick

Slick tyres are not suitable for use on common road vehicles, which must be able to operate in all weather conditions. They are used in auto racing where competitors can choose different tyres based on the weather conditions and can often change tyres during a race. Slick tyres provide far more traction than grooved tyres on dry roads, due to their greater contact area but typically have far less traction than grooved tyres under wet conditions. Wet roads severely diminish the traction because of aquaplaning due to water trapped between the tyre contact area and the road surface. Grooved tyres are designed to remove water from the contact area through the grooves, thereby maintaining traction even in wet conditions.
I enjoyed this review of Onyx Note Air by a grad student:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELXnytHZY2c

It seems Note Air has potential but is not priced well. You might think reMarkable 2 is also expensive, but with Note Air you have to buy additional stylus too. The video above shows how Note Air works with reMarkable 2 Marker and Staedtler stylus.

I personally think if latency and price would get solved, Note Air has much more potential than rM2. I couldn't believe they actually put a lot of thought into designing the software that run Note Air, but the guy in the video explains things in detail.
Thank you for this. There is a huge difference between some stranger being able to see your face as you walk down the street, and having the same stranger record your face, upload it to the cloud and then make it searchable by anyone in the world, tied to other pieces of data track your movements, spending, speech, etc.

The lack of privacy comes from how the data is concentrated, combined, and then shared with people and systems beyond your approval. This is not a binary "secret"/"public" classification where privacy only applies to things in the secret bucket, and no privacy protections apply to something you are not actively trying to keep secret.

When I started out programming I was taught that the code should "document itself" and that comments were an anti-pattern to writing good code. It took me a few years realize how idiotic that was and deprogram myself.

It's one of those things that sounds nice, but once you've moved beyond a certain level of complexity you realize how impractical it is. The fact is that "good code" is often in the eye of the beholder and not everyone has the same skill or vision, so they might as well write a comment about what something does and the intent behind it rather than leave others guessing.
Yeah. As someone who used to work for a data privacy company, this is really a non-issue IMO.

Hi Ted, thanks for replying. Those statements you've made are untrue. Just like kernel drivers, extensions don't break when someone is maintaining them. To be clear, the issue here is not that the DE was not receptive, the issue is that the extension developer disappeared. All the hundreds of GNOME developers didn't get together and collectively decide to get rid of that extension, the one person who was working on it likely just lost interest. Nobody stepped up to fill the space, so now it becomes a manpower issue. That's the way it goes in open source. It would be the same issue if the feature was upstream and the maintainer disappeared.

What you're saying seems to me the equivalent to saying "If a kernel driver is a critical part of your workflow and usage model, then then run far away, the kernel driver API is unstable and the driver maintainer might get hit by a bus." Because as I have said before, the shell extension API is really not similar to kernel's userspace -- it's closer to the kernel's driver API, in that you get complete access to the shell's internals, you can muck it all up and crash things if you're not careful, the API is unstable, you have to follow upstream closely to really take advantage of it... but if you do all that then it's a very powerful tool, and you can do things that are not possible in "userspace" (i.e. outside the shell).

And the fact is, the kernel does remove old and broken and unmaintained driver APIs. That's your prerogative to do to that, as it is GNOME's (and KDE's) prerogative to remove legacy APIs and features that are not pulling their figurative weight in usefulness. I'm not trying to convince you to use or trust GNOME, I'm happy that you're using KDE and it works for you. But I wish you would not say these falsehoods without an understanding of how GNOME is actually developed, because from my perspective the technical process is extremely similar to that of the kernel, and heavily inspired by it. So please don't forget, the apple never falls far from the tree. If you have some insights on how to plug this maintainer gap that you think GNOME is suffering from, then let's talk about that.

Americans are in constant competition with each other for everything.(jobs,houses(and with foreign investors too),social media points)

Fighting, fucking, sleeping... it's all we know how to do anymore. We used to make things, build things, share accomplishments as a society and a nation with each other. Now everything is about the personal accumulation of power/money. Not sure how a society like this is meant to last.

Given the events of the last few years and the fact that a cretin like Trump was ever elected President, I'm pretty sure we are 100% fucked.

> Individuals are more ready to take risks than institutions.

> To me this was the most damning indictment of all.

Why?

One company in Texas geared up and started emergency mask production back when the original SARS/MERS hit. And it almost killed his company. He refused to wind up production for masks during Covid without cash and a contract. That's just smart business.

In the US, the Trump administration and a Republican Senate had absolutely demonstrated that it would absolutely leave people in the lurch who didn't kowtow appropriately.

That is NOT an atmosphere where you are going to bet the company on the fact that the government will do the sane thing.
> This is a great point, so maybe they were also among the first to attract the sort of parasocial relationships that also emerged with the rise of social media.

Maybe I'm misreading the situation, but I'm pretty sure political AM radio show hosts beat them to that. Casual, conversational, "unlike those morons, you and I both know..." style, tons of in-jokes. Extensive call-in segments.
Those are all relative and obviously cherry picked. If you need to cherry pick and exaggerate wildly it’s not a very convincing argument IMO.

Your haircuts are a strawman response, but a fine point independant of my own I suppose if you like to tell coal miners to "Just Learn to Code". I guess I'd like to see the hair dresser demanding they become a billionaire from cutting hair.

Here's the quotation's context:

> You need to find a way to work hard such that your rewards are not capped artificially. Startups were you get equity. Large companies where you can progress to high salaries if you are able to rise. Starting your own business and being competent at it. Working on commissions in an area where the commissions can be large -- true sales, or real estate. Being a professional, e.g. doctor, accountant, lawyer, has traditionally had high wages and you often run your own business.

I read the artificiality being the fact that CEO salaries are XXX% in excess of workers' pay, or workers getting unlivable wages requiring multiple jobs while Csuites getting bonuses in excess of an entire division's wage budget, or the fact that HN recommends quitting your tech job every 2 years because your yearly bonus will pale in comparison to the % increase over your salary a new hire in your divisioin will get, or the many documented effects of systemic racism, or unjust tax laws, or any miriad of heinous shit that goes on in our current economic system.

Bozos 'committing' 1B$/y to a space pissing contest with some dude he worked with a lifetime ago while the people who enable that wealth are peeing in bottles and lying dead and unnoticed for 20 minutes are 'facts of life' to you?

> In the US for example writing software is usually considered wholly different from “IT” whereas in Europe IT encompasses both. That’s probably another thing bringing its status down. You are grouping software engineers with people plugging in printers and solving Karen’s support ticket (no offense IT people).

oh boy, if you think IT is just pluggin in printers and fixing easy support tickets you are easily mistaken.

What about network and system engineers? Those who keep the cloud and global internet running? Those are considered IT (atleast in europe) and are definitely not low quality, easy to learn jobs.

> I have been supplementing vitamin D and zinc since March '20, but I'm not sure that would have prevented antibody formation if I was infected.

First, there's no scientific basis for doing so. Unless your diet is deficient of zinc or you're spending months in an overcast winter environment neither is going to do anything for you. They certainly won't have any impact on antibody formation.
Based on the information provided it seems highly unlikely the OP had covid.

It isn't impossible but the lack of antibodies is just one further data point. Most people who recover have positive antibody tests.

That's a long-winded way of saying "I made a bold claim that I can't back up with evidence and people on HN can see straight through it, so I'm taking my toys and leaving".

Again, I tried to make this more substantive by giving you space to provide a single example of modern journalism living up to the lofty ideals you claim they already live up to, and you either would not or could not do so.

And then there is your little edit at the end. If you'll allow me some recap of my own:

> you use an appeal to the people, "many people agree with me", as if people agreeing with you has any bearing on whether or not you are correct about journalism.

> when this fallacious reasoning is turned around on you, you accuse me of not understanding evidence/reason/argument.

> you feel the need to "preserve" my reversal, therefore enshrining your own hypocrisy.

Is that about right? Rest assured, I will not edit my previous comment, as it contains the full context where I point out your appeal to the people and counter with my own, unlike your excerpt which seems selectively extracted to make it look like I was just bragging about upvotes.
