From the opinion piece: "I don’t know why Microsoft wants everyone to use an online login. I don’t know why Microsoft felt it had the right to treat its customers the way it did with the Get Windows 10 campaign or its six-year battle to push everyone to use online accounts."

I don't know the actual answer because I don't work for Microsoft but I'm lazy enough to assume it is about money. Its financially rewarding for Microsoft to have hordes of Home users online. That telemetry is valuable. Those eyeballs are valuable. That level of engagement is valuable. Its telling that Pro and Enterprise versions operate without the same level. Home users always online is worth Microsoft either enforcing or in the very least "encouraging" this state.

That is a sufficient theory for me. I might not have the full picture but its accurate enough to form opinions and predict Microsoft's future behavior. I'd expect multiple pathways around leveraging that online presence even further. You haven't seen anything yet. This is just the beginning.
Interesting bit about mayo that I've noticed, there's a Japanese-style mayo that's common in Asia. It's made with egg yolks, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

It's much sweeter in taste than Western-style mayo which is made with whole eggs and distilled vinegar.

Personally I find the asian-style mayo far too sweet and "rich", I much prefer the lighter western-style mayo.
I don't think eating "from animal" meat will become too controversial within the next few decades yet.

However, there will be a few shifts. Any meat that is unrecognizable as cuts of meat - hamburgers, sausages, etc - will be 'cut' with factory meat as a means to cut costs (assuming factory meat will become cheaper than livestock, which I'm confident it will with scale), similar to how it's now filled with water, MRM and other fillers, or how a few years back there was a big controversy in the UK when it turned out ground beef contained horse meat.

It'll be awhile before legislation catches up to make it mandatory to indicate the source of the meat.

But, if this scales up, I think total meat consumption will only increase.

This post feels a little odd. Spreading state across multiple (compound) components isn't wonderful; that's what controllers or stores are for.

But also this example doesn't need to do that? All the complexity is from the contrived requirement that the accordion sections themselves can be arbitrary nodes. If you just said "this has to be text and we're wrapping it in a <p>", there's no need for a component tree here. And besides, it's not like you can just pop anything in there--you'll likely break your layout if you try.
While true, there will be rational numbers you can't represent as floating-point numbers no matter which base you choose. And the moment you start calculating with inexactly represented numbers, there is a risk that the errors might multiply and the result of your computation will be incredibly wrong. This is the much bigger "problem" of floats, not the fact that 0.3 is not "technically" 0.3, but off by some minuscule number.

In my opinion, the most important aspect of data-oriented design is to always consider collections instead of so-called "objects".

It is then logical to optimize for access pattern instead of the processing of a single entity.

That's the theory, but in practice, lab/factory meat will become (much?) cheaper than 'natural' meat, so even if in terms of flavor and consistency there is no difference (which I doubt), 'organic' meat will be positioned as the luxury product.

DRM. It is always about DRM. The security threat from unsigned operating systems is extremely low. They tried to force it since a decade. They will destroy their own platform in my opinion. They will get some users, but not the innovative ones that are needed to build upon their platform. The will repeat their mistakes again.

This focus on safety is complete FUD and Windows 11 probably doesn't offer anything to users in reality.

Ask HN: What project management tool do you use for software development?
Our small team is quickly outgrowing Trello boards, so I'm looking for good options for software project management tools.

In the past I used to love PivotalTracker, but it seems to be a bit outdated and lacking some features, like the ability to have custom statuses, as I'd like to have statuses like: "In staging", "Tested in staging", "deployed to production" (interested to hear how you approach this steps).

ClickUp and Clubhouse look like the best candidates from what I've evaluated so far, and they both have the added value of being flexible enough that could be used to manage the other company projects outside of development.

I'd rather don't got with Jira as it (in my experience) can be slow, and feels like overloaded for a small team.

What software do you use for managing your software projects? how happy are you with it?
You're confused.

(M2 * M2V) / GDP = 1[0]

That's the formula to calculate M2V.

New supply is not created due to the drop in velocity, velocity drops when new supply is added. When M2 rises and GDP stays the same, M2V drops.

As you can see from your own chart, when the economy came back to normal in 2015, they did not remove it from circulation. And yet velocity, when the economy was booming, was still dropping. M2 is constantly rising. This is forced because we have trade deficits that force us to accept debt equal to those deficits.

The impact was rising asset prices. The value of goods was not touched at all. Money is not neutral.

How's the race between IPFS and Dat Protocol these days? I keep waiting for one of them to pull ahead and solidify themselves.

Not that popularity matters exactly, but I used to be super hyped for IPFS but my fervor stalled when it *felt* like the team got super distracted by FileCoin and IPO. Combine that with technical hurdles like the time it takes to spread IPNS updates and i started to pull back.

These days i'm wondering if a less grandiose toolset like Hypercore might solve a lot of similar problems with better usability and short term traction.

Interesting nonetheless.

edit1: Been googling this question to answer it myself, and i now realize Dat _is_ Hypercore .. i think. Ah name churn. Lol.
> Now is the time to invest big in renewable energy research and encourage our children to participate in it, otherwise we are screwed.

We need to look at getting our environmental footprint under control. Renewable energy may help with that in the short term, but switching to renewables at scale will also have a significant environmental footprint. Remember, climate change is the environmental issue of our generation. Prior generations had their environmental issues (ozone hole, acid rain, deforestation). Future generations will have their environmental issues, for as long as we don't take responsibility and curb our resource use.

The problem with strongly typed languages is that it makes it infuriating whenever you have to work in a language without the same type guarantees. JavaScript made me want to throw my computers off the top of a skyscraper until I discovered typescript, and typescript just barely makes things slightly tolerable.
I always hated OOP. thank god for this.
Parallelism in JavaScript is simple using web workers. of course the tricky part as with all parallel applications is managing the complexity you create yourself. The only languages that seem to do a good job at handling this for you are challenging in other ways like Haskell and Erlang.

I don’t know whether MathJax/KaTeX do anything special about wrapping. They could hard-code the lot, they could use markup and styles that will leave the browser to handle wrapping, or they could do active reflow where they adjust the DOM depending on the available space. But server-side rendering is still feasible and desirable even in that last case: you render to some baseline markup that will work in all cases but perhaps not have ideal layout, and then add a bit of optional JavaScript to reflow and optimise the layout. Ideally you separate the mathematical markup rendering from the reflow completely, so that you can ship much less JavaScript (more targeted and faster JavaScript, at that).

By the way, back when I had more disposable income, I bought a couple of these for my desktop PC systems when they came out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_1600SW

I ended up using them both for around a decade until LCDs with higher resolutions and DVI interfaces became common. They were very expensive at the time, but offered unparalleled display quality. The only downside is the brightness and other controls were software-only, and the utility was only released for Windows (predating XP).

These days I'm just using an LG 4K TV, which has its own downsides.

I don't necessarily care about moving a valid session to other hardware as much as I care about being able to create a valid session on any random hardware without having to trust any 3rd parties or rely on any 3rd parties permission.

TPM would be fine if 2 things were true:

1 Only the end user managed the secrets inside. Or at least they could, and without any penalty like "This device is insecure and so you can't use it for X". It's fine if there are default secrets and most people never change them. I'm not sure about this last bit but I think ideally also any factory default secrets should be erasable, no indellible unique serial number.

2 The interior implementation is fully open and disclosed. How the secrets are generated and managed. Not just a description and a promise, but an actual full set of public specs such that any manufacturer can produce a fuctioning device, or even I could out of other parts.

These things would allow the end user to be benefit from the mechanism, while leaving the end user in ultimate final control over their property and their identity and information. And it requires both. 1 is hot air without 2.

Any objections to this are automatically invalid, as they depend something they have no right to.

"I need to know that your computer is not doing something I don't want." is just fundamentally invalid.
Thanks. I shd watch it.
As a counterpoint here, email- or sms-based passwordless flows can be quite slow to complete. We (clerk.dev) are seeing ~35 seconds for passwordless, ~8 for passwords, ~5 for Social Sign In:

We're excited for other factors to gain more prominence (e.g TOTP, face id, touch id), but in the current world it's hard to recommend against a password factor, as long as you're following NIST guidelines to compare against password breach corpuses.

As I've said elsewhere, why do you think that statement was talking about just that street? It's totally reasonable to think there's at least 40 drug dealers in the whole Tenderloin.
> Why would business environments care that their workers' have to make a Microsoft account to log into their work laptops?

One case in point would be: If that business happens to be located in the E.U. where GDPR prevents employers from exposing their employees to privacy liabilities of this sort. For example GDPR is already a major stumbling block to the adoption of Office 365 by european business, which is why many are using ancient versions of office, microsoft-alternatives, or are using Office 365 but without being able to really sleep all that soundly, hoping that employees won't sue and privacy regulators won't act. The legal position, however, is quite clear.

Because they don't want to. Because it's in nobody's interest to blow up Bitcoin. It's a money maker, a tax maker, and nobody has gotten too badly hurt yet.

Quelle surprise - writer for the Torygraph believes culture war is a super-relevant distraction from incompetence and corruption! Seriously though, I understand and agree with her point that culture really does matter (though it is perhaps somewhat ironic that the tories are gleefully neglecting people who work in areas of culture/humanities etc. in favour of STEM) and that people are idiotic enough that these things can spill into other areas/violence, but ultimately endlessly arguing about grimey statues of people who have been dead for hundreds of years, or pictures of largely irrelevant cultural figures etc is demonstrably a ridiculous waste of time and mental energy for everyone involved, especially when we are in the middle of a pandemic/climate change/increasing extremism/global resurgence in authoritarianism etc etc. It just plays into the hands of those disreputable actors who want to divide and rule, distract and foment dissension in our societies… So maybe put up some new statues, throw eggs at the old ones (or better still, educate people about the truth of our shared histories), compromise (esp. on things that don’t effect your life directly?), let people directly concerned/effected democratically decide, calmly debate it publically, let the facts be aired, taught and transparently discussed, even when it is inconvenient - that ought to be the source of our strength and resilience as broadly democratic modern societies - don’t let it be judo’ed against us!
