> you live in the states, you're surrounded by it.

When you live in a different country, you are surrounded by cultural norms of your country and disobedience is punished too (usually much more harshly than in the US). Your assumptions about actors' skin colors are as much influenced by the culture of your country as they are influenced by the US culture in the US, as evidenced by the phrase "the opinion is pretty much universal among my family, my friends, my coworkers." Please don't conflate a view from your culture with nebulous "obvious objectivity".

> making them play main roles in historical movies doesn't repair any injustices made to them.

It does not repair injustices of the past, but it helps fix the injustices of today: non-white actors of today should not be kept out of movies just because of a specific historical setting.

Any historical movie is just a modern interpretation of true events. There is no actor that can be a completely authentic reflection of a historical character. A respectful, non-mocking actor play by a person of different race can be a good reminder of that.
My one comment: what I like about Markdown is that the "code" itself is readable, you don't have to effectively transform it to HTML, as is it almost looks like some text with a few characters here and there to emphasize things. Quaint's .q files look too much like source code to me, you wouldn't want to read them as is.

By 476, Rome hadn't been the primary capital of the Western empire for almost 200 years. Diocletian moved the capital of the Western Augustus from Rome to Milan in 286[1]. The Capital then moved from Milan to Ravenna in 402, where it remained until Odoacer "reunited" the Western and Eastern empires. The Roman Senate long outlasted the Western Emperor, existing at least until 603.

Amazing, I'll reach you out! Thank you so much! :)
This is impossible to achieve in the real world. Load times have a lot of variance. Our tests were performance neutral after the change.

In a vacuum yes more data = longer load, but that's not how it plays out in a real browser. Things load in parallel, things block in certain parts but not others, etc. So yes, you really can sometimes send more bytes with no impact on total load time. It just depends on what they are, where they are, and how they load.

> I don't get why the law separates between connected and disconnected power plants?

Assuming they made an exception for private plants that belong to a campus of some sort. Many airports, universitys, housing projects, water treatment facilities, prisons, data centers, etc, run their own power plants primarily for heating and cooling needs with the added benefit of 24/7 onsite power in case of a blackout. They may be grid tied and export some power but are not primary grid suppliers like a utility.
That's the main problem with many of the "blockchain" solutions - is that they're just reimplementations of already-existing solutions to problems.

You can run someone else's software and pay for the actual running thereof, it's called installing it on a virtual machine (and things like the AWS Marketplace exist for turn-key solutions). Maybe something "microtransactiony" could happen here - but why would you need a blockchain when AWS can just make "Marketplace for normal people"?

And many of the other solutions provided end up having a central authority, in which case why not just have ... a database? Amusingly enough most crypto exchanges are internally run not on a blockchain but on a database, even though in theory one entirely on a blockchain might be a workable use case.
Don't worry. There will always be people in your Jitsi/Zoom/Teams/Meat/Whatever who will hurt your ears (or be nearly inaudible), drop out randomly despite nobody else having any issues at all, or have really crappy video. Or, any combination of the aforementioned.

> just about every new movie that comes out is predictable and boring.

Complaining about the lack of good new "x" (be it movies, music, books, etc.) is more a reflection of the complainer than of reality. Assuming you live in the US, around 800 new movies are released every year in theaters alone. If we include movies that go directly to streaming, and international movies that don't release in the US due to distribution rights issues (or just lack of interest), we are well in the thousands.

So, unless you did watch those 800 movies, you lack the authority and grasp on reality to claim "just about every new movie that comes out is predictable and boring". Again, the sentence is a reflection of your tastes and habits of media consumption (and of course of those of the general society in which you live), not of reality. No offense intended.

The miniaturization and democratization of technology has made extremely affordable and easy the creation of new movies and music. There are lots of new garbage, of course, but just about anyone in a Western country can create a masterpiece. The prime example is Kevin Smith financing Clerks with his credit card.

Try to get Windows 10 to have an uptime of more than two weeks without an Windows Update and reboot cycle.

Email viruses aren't really a thing like they were back then too.
Most Windows malware I see today runs with the rights of the logged-on user. Encrypting file servers (at least portions thereof), exfiltrating data, and spreading via email are all easily accomplished with the rights available to a normal user. Without a privilege escalation exploit the attacker probably can't install a driver or spread to other user sessions on the same machine, but everything accessible to the logged-on user is accessible to the malware.

Without a capabilities-based security model I don't see what good the "for security" changes in Windows 11 really bring to the table for end user security. Capabilities-based security would be a major breaking change for legacy software anyway. More than likely, would just result in IT departments granting all capabilities to all legacy software.

The Windows 11 "security" seems more about removing general purpose computing access for "tinkering" end users to enable more draconian DRM, walled-garden type business models, etc.
I'm interested in poker and would definitely check out your app, but struggle to grasp the fortnite analogy. Is this related to how they've made social events like gigs possible within the game?
Well it’s still better than it has ever been in the history of humanity:

- While famines are still a thing, the number of deaths due to hunger has fallen considerably since the start of the 20th century.

- The real median household income in the US has been consistently increasing in the past several decades. While growing inequality is a huge problem most people in the world still have a much higher QOL than their predecessors.

- While there was a spike in homicides in 2020, the homicide rate in the US is lower than it has ever been since the early 60’s (obviously it’s still huge compared to all other developed countries).

- Climate change obviously is going to have a huge effect, however claiming that it’s going is destroy all life on earth is delusional.. In any case most natural ecosystems have already been destroyed or permanently altered by humans, in the past few thousands of years anyway, so there isn’t that much left for climate change to “kill” besides humans (whom I’m sure will manage to adapt to a couple percent rise in avg. temperature, even though it’s likely it will cost several millions of lives).

- There is zero incentive for either US or China to start a nuclear war over Taiwan (or anything else for that matter) so I’d say the threat of a nuclear war is pretty low.

- Life expentancy has been increasing prior to 2020 and there is no reason to believe that it won’t rebound to the previous level soon and continue growing in the future. Healthcare related costs are likely to continue increasing due to ageing societies and higher R&D costs (as technologies become more complex). I don’t see this as huge problem, though, as long as it’s outweotghted by increasing productivity in other sectors. Ensuring universal access to high quality healthcare is a political problem that needs to be solved but even a market based system will likely result in better outcomes for the majority of the population.
Too old for those forehead thermometers. In my day it was the old fashioned mercury thermometers. Kids would hold them against incandescent light bulbs to fake a fever.
For thousands of years, people said ancestry produced meaningful differences between populations. That 'construct' held that infinitesimal differences in ancestry could be used to divide society. So discrimination based on race was widespread, even while science acknowledged the races were the same species.

The 2000 story said race is just a social construct, because we were all from the same origin.

Here the science now seems to say there are real, scientific ancestry differences. If not visual, they are easily determined. So, again, we return to a place where we can't say we all have the same origin.

It will take some effort to avoid returning to the older paradigm, and I'm not sure we've got the tools to do it.

Running 45 MW of miners != Producing 45 MW of energy != Producing producing 45 MW of waste heat. First you have to consider the thermodynamic efficiency of the power plant. With a ~40% efficiency, 1 W of produced heat wastes 1.5 W of heat. Then you have to consider the overhead for running the miners. Ballpark, about half of the energy probably goes to HVAC. Furthermore, that 45 MW of mining power is also eventually getting released as heat, some of which may be returning to the lake.

Overall, 45 MW of bitcoin produced could mean 135 - 180 MW of waste heat.

It's so, so strange that otherwise smart people believe that this one giant category of medical technology has no long-term side effects.

Like, FDA phase 3 trials are totally superfluous for vaccines, right? Because you can detect all the problems in 2 months!

Remember, the medical community can absolutely get things super-wrong in super-damaging ways for huge swaths of the population. OxyContin was for decades called "non-addictive" and prescribed like candy, leading to a nation-wide opiate crisis.

The very same pharma community that lead to that is also responsible for making it seem like vaccines are just so insanely great there're never side-effects.

(Disclaimer: I am more vaccinated than you, have e.g. yellow fever and rabies vaccines, I love vaccines, but still I'm not touching these vaccines as they have not completed phase 3 FDA trials.)
Accounting has already solved this problem. It’s based on double entries, separation of duties and audit. If there are still problems despite those controls, blockchain won’t solve them - those are human problems.
My "ah ha" moment for why they're shitting up their OS with ads was when I discovered my uncle had managed to follow their prompts to the point of paying for One Drive, but had no idea what it was or how to use it (in fact, he was confused how some of his files were becoming "lost"). He just thought it was "something he needed".

[EDIT] which is to say, they're joining Google (ads inline with results—watch a non-geek use Google some time) and Amazon (just... the whole store) with a scamming-the-unsaavy business model.

Capitalism isn't exploiting anything. People make the laws, people operate businesses.

> What’s the alternative given that most small/medium-sized companies know very little about IT security?

Removing the "remote" from "remote administration". It's more expensive but probably still not cost-prohibitive -- driving around to client sites and installing updates is not particularly skilled labor. Plus even the worst-case scenarios are far less worse because you already have a local workforce who can do site visits to manually recover systems locked down by ransomware attacks. Data might get stolen, but at least you have continuity of business.

They might have rushed to exploit it before it was closed. Plus the long weekend. Or competitive pressure to exploit before someone else gets there first.

Bitcoin has commodified wasting resources for money.
Generally I would say that for the average HN'er software is our life, it's not just a field in which exciting things happen (the internet, ML and blockchains etc) but also, indeed perhaps more so, a "boring", day-in day-out livelihood. Personally, I feel the trouble with the blockchain is that it has attracted a lot of "fair weather" supporters, people that have only become geeky due to the allure of money, not because of an inherent love of software.

Yes blockchains are indeed an exciting development and present a lot of potential, but "true" hackers are probably as excited by blockchains as they are by say Rust. The thing is that generally speaking we can have informed conversations about Rust, because those that understand the novelty of Rust have come to that understanding through a genuine interest in the technology, not because of how Rust can make them rich.

So yes, blockchains are indeed very interesting, but unfortunately the conversations around them are overwhelmingly distorted by the superficialities of what I would cynically describe as dilettantes. Of course there are indeed serious hackers doing game-changing work in the blockchain space and I believe blockchain does have a future, but right now it's almost impossible to hear the signal from the noise :/
part-time tech work sounds like a good idea, but it seems to me most serious tech jobs can't be done part time
One issue is that the speed of light is 30 cm per nanosecond. This limits the size of processors that can run at, say, GHz speeds. It's also a limitation of wires, which is one reason why the original Cray supercomputer had such a funky geometry.

This was an interesting, well-written post. I myself was an avid movie buff up until graduating college, after which point I became interested in other hobbies. My two cents:

1) I wonder to what extent the anhedonia is due to not the movie industry changing, but the author themselves changing, maturing, becoming more interested in other things in life. I used to consume copious amounts of anime / manga, now that stuff doesn't nearly interest me as much anymore, even though there is lots of fresh new content out there.

2) To the author: perhaps a new level of appreciation in films can be attained by trying to shoot a film, do a cel animation, write a storyboard of your own? The act of trying to create that which is so familiar can help you see things in an entirely new perspective.
Why don’t small/medium businesses go all in on the cloud? Surely it must be easier for the non-technical SMB order/manager to use Google Drive than run their own file servers?
