Ed25519 is a public key (usually signature) system, not a hash function. You're probably thinking of either a ed25519 signature, or a (for example) sha512 hash.
I’m with you... so much for “the ecosystem is moving”. Matrix is moving faster than them.

Consider pin factory A that has invested in new machines and pays a few workers well, alongside factory B that instead uses old machines and lots of cheap labour to achieve the same business outcome.

Factory A is a high productivity (per employee) employer and factory B is a low productivity employer.

Yes, B employs a lot of people but in a certain sense it is also wasting their productive lives.

Re: subsidies, if you pay workers very little their income may be supplemented by government assistance such as food stamps. Some employers rely on this in the sense that many of their employees would not be able to afford to live without this assistance.

Some people believe that the clearing price for labour would be higher without this assistance (because the pool of people willing and able to work without it would be smaller). This does seem a fairly logical matter of supply and demand. However since it seems inhumane to cut off that support they generally advocate raising the minimum wage to incorporate the subsidies that would be provided instead.

Your first sentence implies that we shouldn't have laws against murder because it happens anyway, which isn't a great argument.
There are quite a few big insurers (better known as managed care organizations) competing for business, so the incentives are there to limit expenses so they don’t have the most expensive premiums.

From a distant point of view, everything is OOP. You can treat anything like a black box that you push button on to make things. You push things on your keyboard, without knowing how it works. Your keyboards activate things on your computer, without knowing how it works. The computer ask the screen to update with the new date, without knowing how it works.

From a distant point of view, everything is data oriented. Your thought are transformed into keyboards presses by the keyboards, that are transformed into events by your computer, that is transformed into what you see by your screen.

I could do the same with a frozen pizza factory: you can see the ingredients flow in the machines (functions), or you can see the different machines passing things to others like objects. The problem is that then the classification between "OOP" and "non-OOP" doesn't mean anything anymore and is now useless.
I dunno, folks might get salty if google's bots used misleading useragents. And it just escalates the existing cat&mouse game

Sort of.
Sapphire Rapids is supposed to include new instructions that fix via extending TSX.

But I doubt we'll see microcode patches that fix older CPUs.
I have a Haswell where TSX was permanently disabled via microcode and s Comet Lake that straight up came from the foundry without TSX.
A rapidly rising market cap that depends on the expectation of continued growth of demand. Some stablecoins are more protected than others against drops in demand.

However, without a compete backing the the currency a stablecoin, there is a point at which sufficient supply of the stablecoin cannot destroyed and the peg will break as supply outstrips demand.

When the bubble pops there will be a lot of broken pegs but it most likey won't wipe out every stablecoin.
Haha yeah apologies - I came to this from a very British angle. Will add this as you suggest. Thanks!
Well, presumably it would have killed more without the lockdowns, but it's not clear how many more. It sounds like you're saying not doing lockdowns would have been worth the extra deaths. Which is certainly a justifiable argument if we're being specific, but absent some sort of rough sense for how many extra deaths, it seems like a bold kind of thing to write a blank check for.
Pretending to be a robot, in order to not get caught by robots. Kinds makes sense. In a sci-fi dystopian way.

> Don’t we grow food specifically for livestock though?

I think that’s the central point of this thread where folks are talking past one a other.

In a hypothetical scenario where animals are more or less only eating food that humans can’t, it makes a lot of sense (from an environmental if not ethical standpoint) to include animals in the mix of foods people eat.

The impression I get is that in reality, animals grown for meat consume quite a bit of human-edible food (or food that could be trivially replaced with human-edible varieties), although I have no idea of the actual percentage.
And their video player is utterly fucked. The video will load and reload about 3 times before it becomes playable, on the desktop. On the mobile site, usually the video freezes and the audio track plays. Gifs will overflow and play under the UI, and that's not been fixed for over a couple of years.

And now it renders Gifs inside replies and every single fucking thread has the "omg gifs!" thread voted to the top.

The modern Reddit UI is a complete and utter tragedy of design and engineering. But it serves ads, so who cares.

They only redesigned it so that they could make ads first-class.
That wasn't my argument, but I say see how it would come across that way. My point is that you can't just legislate away complex misaligned incentives. You decrease murder by attacking the causes of murder.

Murder has been illegal for a long time but murder hasn't gone away. We need ecocide to go away, and fast. A more effective approach is needed.

Of course... another 'Accident' as all ways with these tech companies with dangerous levels of power.

I can't believe that they can just sit there and 'trust' these tech giants because they 'think' that they are on their side.

They can do it to anyone for any reason and they were already rejecting their appeals (Because of the guidelines). Probably will happen again to someone else previously banned. Like I said before, they are not you friends; accident or not. On the side of profit.

To Downvoters: What alternatives do you suggest to move away from platforms like YouTube and to avoid these so called 'accidents' from happening?

How on earth do you continue to trust these platforms by tech giants to not flag your account because of another 'accident'? This is not the first time this has happened and it will only get worse unless you find an alternative.

Don't take my word for it, this user [1] RIGHT NOW on HN has their YouTube channel suspended, for NO REASON, other than "The guidelines". [1] It will only get worse and worse for everyone.

Oops misread that.
Same reason you “can’t” do that with textbooks.

The whole reason it’s cheap is the vast majority of the cost is shouldered by the west. If you were able to execute this arbitrage (and you should be able to but can’t legally) you would quickly find prices would lower slightly in the west and rise dramatically elsewhere.

It’s all profiteering. By preventing price discovery they make a boatload of profit even after writing down the losses on “foreign aid”.
Great post and framework. Thanks
The cookie prompt on old.reddit.com is so obnoxious now. You can't close it and the "continue" button takes you to the new.reddit.com homepage
Usually "an announcement about the comment section" means "we're disabling comments entirely."

So I was pleasantly surprised that it's just moderation.
I have no doubt it converts better. Facebook are masters at using little dopamine hits and denials to get users to do whatever they want.

It’s still an obnoxious thing to do, which is the point of the article.
There will be a driven kilometers based tax for electric vehicles, to finance road maintenance.
The thing I'm most offended with: about every generation has now dumped their favorite interface pattern onto it, mostly reused from the fancy language of the day. It has become a Frankenstein language without internal strictness or attitude (which had been once a major trait.) I guess, it's the language most disrespected by its developers.
You can not scroll faster than images load.

The typical WordPress lazy loading script doesn't start loading the image until it is scrolling into view. Try a typical food blog, scroll moderately slowly and you'll still get to see every single image load.

edit: your example works great, but is in outlier in the implementation, and benefits from tiny images that load quickly.
I always loved it when someone hotlinked to an image on someone else’s server and instead of taking the image down, they’d replace it with something funny (or more frequently, horrible).
So you mean if even they paid $15/hr it sill wouldn’t be enough, because businesses will just raise prices?! What a shock!

Their claim is that if the pharma companies lowered the cost of insulin but then refused to give rebates to insurance companies for it, the insurance companies would stop covering insulin for diabetic patients? And they're using a diagram created by a pharmaceutical trade group to explain this? I'll be honest: I'm skeptical.

Read 'The price we pay' if you want to understand the US healthcare system.

Most of the 'socialist' countries don't pay for R&D on drugs; US consumers do. They pay a marginal price based on production cost, but almost none of the fixed price investments in efficacy, safety studies etc.

The US system in no way resembles a functioning market. It's a byzantine spider web of regulatory capture, patent abuse, bad incentives and inertia.
You're letting pedantry get in the way of the far more important point that making the medication more affordable would save lives.
INAL, but when I ran a remote company I had to register my business in the state my employees lived in and pay unemployment tax in their individual home states. If my employees worked outside of their home state (nomadically) then I think the states they travelled to technically want a share of that income, but that it's the employee's responsibility to report that income as being earned in that state, not the employers. The employer continues to pay W2 wages + unemployment tax or 1099 income in the employee's state of residence until the employee changes their residency status.

In practice however, nomadic income only typically gets reported for high income employees like professional sports players or entertainers who earn large amounts of publicly identifiable income in different states throughout the year.

For an employee to file for unemployment in a state, they would first need to show residency in that state. For example, you can't pass through CA for a week and file for unemployment there.

A good example. What being entitled means is quite subjective. What’s the problem with not wearing a shirt? What women wear nowadays would be considered indecent to the point of being illegal 100 years ago, but a man without a shirt is a big no-no.
Things got real bad within the lifetime of my mother, the recessions of the 70s and 80s were suffered most harshly in the Black community, never mind the introduction of crack cocaine, where most of our middle class was decimated by the mid 90s (the last auto factory closures in the Flint/Detroit area, Flint a majority Black factory town).

Nationwide however, both Black and non-Black American males have been negotiating a crisis of masculinity that tracks the rate of single-mother households nationwide since the end of the 50s or so IIRC, hence the prominence of Jordan Peterson and Kevin Samuels as spearheads in the counter-feminist trend of the last few years

You can actually just click "Next" on the sign-up screen without having entered any email address at all. It works fine, for now at least.
>The law is also pushing Google to do what it does. DMCA calls for expeditious removal of taken down content, and there is *very little penalties for bogus claims.*

I would have to disagree here. The penalty for knowingly filing a DMCA claim is perjury. Since it is typucally used as a weapon against the little guys though, we've never got to see this actually enforced.
I think it is because we are allowed to complain in the first place. Free speech is free (monetarily and legally).
Yea. One thing is, to know how many people would have died without lockdowns would require to go into some other dimension or universe where this was the case. Otherwise, its about accurate as me saying what the world would like if world war 2 had not happened. It would require too many assumptions for it to be reliable
The hosting and bandwidth costs of images and especially video is non-trivial. I agree that the vast majority of the costs of these overly-large companies comes from what happens while trying to make them profitable, and then all of the engineering work that goes into that... but that all starts because running the site in the first place wasn't free and you have to do something to make them at least sustainable, with your "obvious" options being to either: 1) ask for donations (which likely won't pay for the site if you get popular: I know this from experience); 2) require people to pay some small subscription fee (which will make the site less fun for everyone); 3) pray ubiquitous micropayments eventually happens (i work on this problem as part of Orchid, but it still hasn't happened ;P); 4) sell "something else" to whales, like t-shirts or the ability to "guild" messages (the strategies reddit was trying to do as they resisted ads for a long time... maybe these work well enough?); or 5) start trying to sell ads and become the thing you hate. The only other strategies I have seen tend to either drag you towards #5 or simply cause other dark patterns, such as taking a cut of "tips" (what TikTok and Twitch do), which at bare minimum incentivizes the "don't you dare talk about alternative payment systems in our ecosystem: all payments must go through us" model sin (which can be fought against if you have a lot of willpower and remain private--I never required this with Cydia as I considered it the original sin my entire market existed to undermine--but I see the motivation and it feels kind of inevitable). I personally bet the only real "correct" solution is essentially #3... if we ever get to the point where the fees for that are as easy to pay and as low as the fees you pay for electricity (which works on a similar model).
Is this way I always get text messages from one of my friends that say > Liked "{$ENTIRE_CONTENTS_OF_PREVIOUS_MESSAGE}"

>anticompetitive conduct that attempts to establish a harmful monopoly is also illegal

I think point 3 is the relevant bit: "a dangerous probability of achieving monopoly power."

It seems like the judge is basically saying that probability isn't high enough based on their market share (that the FTC couldn't even give a good number for).
That's a narrative that most democratic countries want to be true, but that does not necessarily make it true.

A strict autocratic government is quicker at making decisions and may actually be ideal assuming it optimizes for the long-term best interest of the country and does not become corrupt. Only time will tell if the CCP is able to do this.
Beautiful tool, thank you. Do you use machine learning in the generation process or it's just rule based?
This is great! A lot of people prefer to submit the opt outs themselves. Our Free Basic account can be used to help people do-it-yourself faster by helping with the discovery process.

If you choose to sign up for Optery, next to each data broker listing we provide the opt out link and opt out email address to make it easy to navigate to.

When submitting your own opt outs to these companies directly, we highly recommend creating a disposable email address, and Not using your primary email address, as just reaching out to them with an email often adds you to their email lists.
I would have built in a protocol which could be used for decentralized ad networks in a federated fashion unlike the craziness that we see today with TOS designed to fight all competition and to selectively control the markets.
IMHO Craigslist is a good example of a design that nailed it right from the start and avoided the temptation to redesign year after year. Choose a region, choose the category, enter your search and bam, there are your listings. It's all bookmarkable too. What a great website.
Sorry... I literally do this every day of my life, across several devices. I'm just on Firefox on Android, it's not like it's a weird setup or anything. What are you running that reddit won't let you into a subreddit?
Doesn't a proxy contract defeat the whole purpose of algorithmically enforced contracts?
The gig economy industry has managed to steal back decades worth of workers rights, and the worst thing is that this will take decades to undo.

Almost everyone has been groomed to defend these corporate behemots' rights to stomp on our lives like if they were defending the right of a small mom and pop shop to kick out a rowdy drunkard.

When a company has a bigger revenue than most contries' gdp they shouldn't play by the same rules, they need to be held to a different set of standards.
I mean people short crypto all the time, averaged over a long enough period of time long/short ratios are roughly ~50/50 [1]. It's normal market behavior. And if you're shorting one of the big ones, you can most likely do it on defi without even providing a name.

In the UK pretty much all stations have bridges, so this will mainly be about being able to put them in place much more quickly when you are making changes to a station, or putting a new bridge in somewhere (i.e. there may not be one that's inside the ticket barriers on some smaller stations).

This just isn’t true, else everyone would put their pension in USD.
Unfulfilled religiosity is liable to displace rationality with rote purity codes and magical thinking. No NPR, incantation of 165 words will not conjure our will to save the environment into existence. Understanding the root causes, the game theory behind multinational escalation of externalities and the logos behind this complex emergent phenomena will.

Shame might be a pragmatic technology to bring individual people in line, but it can not steer planet scale collectives of people any more than it can steer our cars. In fact shame-politics stupefies people by asking them to relinquish their own rationality with the fear of painful non-conformity. It makes children out of adults. If there is a religious action to be taken, it is creating a reciprocal faith in rationality and virtuosity of the mature individuals, who can also trust that others will do the same.
Congrats on launching! Don't stress about the low levels of response, I suspect that as you suggested, this will be more of a tool to help companies do tech support than a tool for consumers to get help.

Keep up the pace and iteration!
I'm not talking about browser features, I'm talking about the lazy loading JavaScript libraries that many (most, I'd wager) use.

> And really, would it be that hard to “accidentally” obscure the body camera for the 5 seconds it takes to snap such a photo anyway?

Maybe the camera is a decoy and really, they just want to know who is around the computer at the time of the leak (location/gps/wifi/etc).
I don't think there's a strong anti-crypto stance here. It strikes me much more as a strong anti crypto-fanboy stance. I'm not saying there's no one on HN who doesn't like crypto. I just think that, as a technogy, the general sentiment is "it's not fully baked yet". When that runs head long into dogmatic refusal to admit to any problems with crypto as a concept or a particular currency, the sparks that fly may look anti-crypto.
You can advertise without abusing the user.
"Stunning design" it is not, and what if you're approaching from the other direction? Now you've gotta do this awkward S-shaped motion just to cross the bridge

What's stopping this from being incorporated into a more traditional bridge?
Pages 50-53 are actually about why the court doesn't consider it a valid argument against the case, including precedent against the argument.

Surely one cannot disagree that designing neighborhoods and quality of life around personal car usage is the number one culprit for pollution.
I realize you are a espousing an extremely unpopular opinion, but something people need to begin to recognize is that laws are only as meaningful as they are enforced. Passing laws to make things 'legal' or 'illegal' are worthless outside of the scope of their enforcement.
What's valuable is your interests so that they know what ads to put in your face. Whether or not your email is linked to you is irrelevant -- you can click on ads all the same.
