I just find it interesting, notably the stages part. Authenticity of information is a problem in today's society, but really it's false trust in information. How many people get their "news" from Facebook? What lies beyond trust, authenticity, and information itself is an interesting thing to think about. Is there a post-trust society that isn't disorderly and chaotic?

Sorry this may be an obvious thing but I am genuinely curious (and I don't live in the US): why would one be afraid of sharing those?

Apple has an agreement with the carriers to not allow iOS updates over pre-5G networks. Carriers used to be able to (possibly still can?) disable things like FaceTime over cellular too.
There's a prevailing narrative that Kubernetes is insanely complex. Probably driven by vendor FUD - if it isn't so complex, why should you pay someone else to do it for you? I think eventually customers will realize that there's not as much magic under the hood.

That would be the sensible business decisions. Feed new horses, don't feed old horses. But they are hackers and have no idea of management.

I'm really curious, if they manage to burn through 30 million and still keeping Element being crappy. At least thanks to Matrix being an open protocol anyone can develop a better alternative.

Are we talking about the same company using Greyball to fool local authorities not just abroad, but also in the USA? Taking into account total lack of moral integrity in their top management, I would not believe in anything they promise.
I would love an easily managed, interactive/offline programming course, but not sure it exists without a bit of setup hassle. My fallback is just word processor and typing practice which isn't a waste, but image manipulation is a good idea.

I've just remembered I have an unused 2015 MacBook Pro so I might try him on that plus Unity and some downloaded game making tutorials.
I think it would have to work through the camera industry to be effective, so the sensor actually includes signatures with the image data. Otherwise all of the 'hot mic' moments are going to be left unaddressed.

Image formats could be updated with an 'original' layer so that if the news site wanted to crop or edit the content, the original would still be avaliable for comparison.

Given all of the hardware design going into high speed hashing on asic, shouldn't be that hard to find a component to do the work.

What's the point? The post I replied to used the word "impossible" and I pointed out that it's absolutely not impossible.
That's kind of ironic. Funnily enough, one respect in which Japan is less xenophobic than Germany is the total absence of terrorists and serial killers that target immigrants or any incidences of mob violence like the 2018 Chemnitz riots. I'm sure you've heard of the NSU-Mordserie—or have you?

>In December 2018, five German police officers were suspended from their posts after Seda Basay-Yildiz, a Turkish-German lawyer who had defended the family of one of the victims of the NSU, was faxed a death threat against her two-year-old daughter. The fax was signed "NSU 2.0". An investigation concluded that, just before the fax was sent, a Frankfurt police computer had accessed a confidential database to obtain Basay-Yildiz's address. The phones of the police officers who were on duty at the moment were confiscated, and it was found that many were exchanging racist and far-right messages in a group chat, and posting pictures of Hitler and swastikas.

It seems a little crazy to me that you were perfectly willing to live and work in a country where agents of the state fax death threats to two-year olds in the name of a Nazi terrorist group, but a guy standing up when you enter a train is so xenophobic that even living in the country, like millions of foreigners happily do, is just unthinkable. Know what I'm saying?

There are foreigners who have good reason to avoid Japan, namely indentured workers from southeast Asia. Something tells me that a guy who used to work in Germany and posts on Hacker News is not going to suffer the same problems that they do.

Metaplanet is the investment fund for Jaan Tallinn, one of the four founding engineers of Skype. He is definitely a very positive sign for this investment in my eyes. Having worked with him a long time ago and followed his doings and presentations [1] it gives me much hope for Matrix, especially as I run my own homeserver and really like the vision.

There aren't that many showstopper issues in the UX (except for wrangling bridges, but that's not really an Element thing, it's more of a Matrix thing).

But everything is just a bit off. The text is a bit too spaced out for IRC users, the icons a bit too small for people coming from Slack and Discord. Colors are seemingly chosen at random by the coder and don't jive well together. The "These people have read the backlog this far" notification is just plain useless. It is death by a thousand cuts really. The small things stack up and make me not like using Element for Matrix.

I do love Matrix, the underlying technology, in theory.

IMO they just need to bite the bullet and make a truly user friendly mobile UI to replace Telegram, WhatsApp, FB Messenger etc. And a proper client for the major operating systems that's not too different from Discord and Slack.
Temperature is a measurement of kinetic energy, speed x mass. Two substances with the same temperature can have different m/s atomic speeds. Moving at the same speed, Uranium atoms will be 'hotter' than hydrogen atoms because the uranium atom is heavier.

(This distinction is important in rocketry. At a given exhaust temperature, the lighter substance will be moving faster, resulting in greater efficiencies.)
Yup exactly. Anything you would tell a voice actor to do you have in the markup. Obviously, the voice actor can still produce higher quality, probably for a long time to come.

Carowinds, in the Charlote NC area, had a design based on the Rebel Yell / Racer 75 called Thunder Road. two tracks mirrored each other and one side ran the train backwards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder_Road_(roller_coaster)

It was a tough call between riding in the last car on the forwards side or anywhere on the backwards side, but on slower days when everyone was standing in line for the stand-up coasters, you didn't have to choose. Those were good summers.
The problem with aggregation is that there is a regression to clickbait. If I charge 20 dollars per month to access the work of 1k writers and pay the writers based on views/production. Then I will pay the most prolific/clickable writers at the expense of quality.

Paying more for a smaller collection of writers may provide me more value.
How would this work?

Plenty of videos are candid or shot and released by a 3rd party.

This could work for press releases and such, but not for videos with headlines like "CEO CAUGHT KICKING A BABY IN THE FACE" or "UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: PRESIDENT ADMITS ALIENS ARE REAL".
That's a nice idea re using an existing place as a starting point. I think some users won't have a clear idea as to exactly what they want so making it easier to "browse" could be helpful.

For the most part extending to the whole country shouldn't be too difficult (famous last words!) -- most of the data sources I'm currently using aren't specific to London. But I think I'll probably first go deep rather than wide, allowing the user to look at areas at a more granular level should they wish to.

Politics is on the todo list as well!
I had a similar thought that this would require quite a lot of complicated drilling equipment.

> "Blue Origin will [...] waiv[e] all payments in the current and next two government fiscal years up to $2B to get the program back on track right now. This offer is not a deferral, but is an outright and permanent waiver [...]"

I dunno, sounds like "no payments until you're locked into our system". I know I wouldn't take that bait if I was a federal contract reviewer.

From a meta point, it's as though Blue Origin doesn't know how bidding contracts works; you put your best foot forward first, you don't sweeten the deal after the contract is awarded.

Certainly they are making a decent PR play in the news though.
I agree with that overall, except that it seems to me like the stock Melzi board has enough IO and stepper drivers to run the physical part of a basic PnP. (It doesn't change your overall point, of course.) I think the Ender3 and clones are best viewed as a kit of relevant parts.
One typical problem for C/C++ build systems is lack of proper Windows and MSVC toolchain support. Most C/C++ build systems originated in the UNIX world, and either only support GCC-compatible toolchains or if they support MSVC then only as an afterthought. Trying to get this stuff running in a Windows environment is often a mix of frustation and plain hilarity. CMake is one of the few build tools that gets Windows and MSVC support right.

I've been seeing the Ford Mach E somewhat frequently in my area (New Jersey).
Not the poster, but in my Model Y the ratio of actual miles driven to miles of range decrease shown on the screen is about 0.8 on long trips. So I typically assume my actual range will be 80% of what the car thinks when I start a trip. This probably has more to do with my driving style and air conditioner use than anything else.

Very different cars though.

Leaf is a cheap way to go green. Low performance, outdated UI, but pretty cheap.

Tesla is going green in style. Minimalism, performance, at a slight premium to ICE.

One thing to note is that leaf is one of the WORST vehicles values at % of resale value retained after 3-5 years, while Tesla is one of the best. So the market is very clearly looking for used Tesla over used Leaf.
> you can no longer believe anything published online

When has this not been the case?
Yeah, totally agreed there. It's only just starting to get to the point where it is practical.
These experiences really sucks, and show where Tesla has a significant edge over the competition. Their superchargers always work, and their built in routing is great.

It's such a shame that other manufactures have taken the "oh we make cars, we can't fix the infrastructure" approach to EVs, which is so short sighted. Really hope they quickly figure out that they need to invest in EV infrastructure, not just EV R&D. With a bit of luck Tesla Model 2 will hit its price point, then the old auto manufactures are going to have a really bad time selling EVs.
I didn't see anything regarding higher rewards. Have they increased them at all?

$29m for 10 years of bug fixes seem like a steal for a multi billion dollar company. Especially if some of those bugs that have been reported and fixed are potentially lethal for the company.
Do people stop doing crimes because laws have made it illegal. I am saying there is no point trying to stop what is inevitable instead our energies are better spent trying to understand how best to navigate an online world without any privacy.

Tangent on Paetron:

> you get your money as a subscription instead of a one-time thing. The second part is REALLY important.

I agree that this is often good. Especially for some types of creators. However I think a lot of people have abandoned the store model when it would suit them well. For example I run a lot of RPG campaigns and like to grab maps often from people on Paetron. However often I only need a couple of maps for a specific campaign or one specific map that I like from the backlog. I think you can usually subscribe for one month and grab what you need, but Paetron doesn't make this obvious and it is certainly awkward. I have no interest in subscribing to an artist whose next map is likely not relevant to my campaign. If these people had stores I would be buying maps frequently, but they don't so I pass them by.

If you are making content where most of your audience is going to appreciate every post (for example producing entertainment or information) then the subscription makes a lot of sense and is hugely valuable. However I see this model being used even where a substantial portion of the potential audience likely has interest only in a small section of the work and I suspect that choosing only this model is closing off potential additional income.

I can see why Paetron doesn't offer setting prices for individual posts or similar, the subscription model is lucrative when it works. However there is definitely a missing piece in some situations.
Any tips for someone trying to get to the same point? I have a couple of substacks (https://graphs4sci.substack.com/ and https://viz4sci.substack.com/) and medium (https://medium.data4sci.com/).

They seem to be working on that. We got Safari 14 some time before the Big Sur release, and I think Safari 13 was faster than the accompanying OS update too ?
Thanks for feedback. It is very valuable.

As for the payments process, a customer would simply pay through a credit card. The payment is held in escrow until the vendor has completed the assigned task and the customer confirms that it is complete. The payment is then released to the vendor. If the task is not completed or not up to quality, the customer gets a full refund.

So the customer has the confidence that his/her money is safe and will only be released once the task is complete. The vendor is motivated to do a good job and has the guarantee that once the task is complete payment will be received.

This whole process is automated and happens within the app.
Yes it is very similar to dieting. Generally people get Bored/Nervous/Sad/Angry and try to eliminate that emotion with a hit of dopamine via some external input like Food/Sex/Drugs/Entertainment instead of recognizing the emotion and dealing with it another way Meditation/Mindfulness/Therapy/Fixing a Life problem.

Removing all carbs from your home forces you to get out of the house to get junk food. During that time or because of the effort involved you may be able to control your emotions and make a better decision. The problem with porn is that it is so easy to get another way Phone, Another computer, saved locally on your hard drive.
Regarding Norway, it being private land wouldn't matter much. It is written in Norwegian law [0] granting the right to travel the land without too many restriction. Private property is not one such restriction. One should avoid farming fields during spring, but in broad strokes that's pretty much it.

This includes the right to forage (berries, mushroom, whatnot). Though hunting and fishing can be quite restricted. Motorized vehicles have their own set of restrictions, but trekking, biking, sailing, etc are fine.

So, one cannot for instance fence off the access to nature, like a "private" beach etc. And camping is allowed everywhere not within 150m of a house/cabin with residents up to two days, though relocating to somewhere else would be fine. Farmland is again an exception, and you should ask the owner for permission.

PS: There are local exceptions everywhere, so be sure to check that. Some waters are protected, etc. Some regions are considered "protected nature", which doesn't trump "allemannsretten" (the aforementioned rights), but there can be other restrictions. And in all cases, it is expected to not leave behind garbage or cause damage.

This app has gotten me through so many days of undergrad. It's one of the only windows apps that can handle textbook-sized pdfs well. I can search on text quickly too, while Adobe Reader can barely open any PDF larger than 100 pages.

Nothing new under the sun
Lucasfilm's subsidiary Industrial Lights and Magic is known for leading visual effects on actors's appearances to help make films that cannot be realized without such technology. For instance, Martin Scorsese entrusted them to "youthen" the leading actors in "The Irishman" so that Robert Deniro et al can play their characters at a younger age without wearing a red-ball "clown-nose" tracker. "Star Wars: Rouge One" practically reanimates Peter Cushing to continue and expand the involvement of Grand Moff Tarkin in the Star Wars saga. These processes are painstaking, and artists sweat over details on a frame-by-frame basis to negate the "uncanny valley" of artificial human likenesses.

Obviously, the labor-intensive nature of today's CGI techniques drive up production costs. Meanwhile, the deepfakes on YouTube provide a convincing enough rendition of likenesses without actual actors, all produced on consumer-level GPUs. This presents a huge potential to save costs and the benefits are clearly enticing to film productions.

As Hollywood gravitates towards blockbuster franchises, productions will want to bring the same ensemble of actors (or at least their likenesses) as long as possible. While moviegoers may be unsettled by seeing "reanimated" dead actors like in Rouge One, they still may hope to see franchise actors to look consistently youthful or attractive on screen. Deepfakes may be more relied upon to provide that effect.
The worst thing a lot of these deepfake folks do with movie clips is hire impersonators to try to make it more realistic. The problem is that a) the impersonator is usually off a bit in timing or character and b) the soundstage is nothing like the rest of the movie, it just sounds like cuts to a podcast. The result just doesn't work.

https://youtu.be/A8TmqvTVQFQ?t=52

That said, one way it *does* work is with novel scenes filmed with a good impersonator, the outcome can be pretty remarkable:

I would second this answer. These two are big enough to have solid support paths should you have questions and want to talk to a human. I don't find UI to be important because I'm not in the apps or web sites often enough and I don't do options.
That's pretty much the only reason I drive. I average 15,000km a year on my motorcycle alone. I drive maybe 500km a year in the city.

My case is atypical, but the case of people driving home to see their family is not. Driving 600km in a day would be difficult if it requires a mid-day charge and a parking space near a charger at night. Yet that's the distance I cover to visit my grandparents. In winter.
> "what values are we willing to abandon to stay competitive?"

That's a good question.

In the US, if you are founding a startup with 4 people, while all 4 are "employees", you are way closer to "self-employed" than to "9-4 employee at Siemens", and the startup more than handsomly compensates the employees with equity, to actually make it so: "you are working as an employee for a company that you own a big chunk of".

In Germany, it does not make financial sense to give a sizable chunk of the company to your employees. Many companies offer equity, or equity purchase plans, but as a "minor" perk, and not as the main part of the compensation.

OTOH, how long do you think self-employed people work in Germany? I know some that work 15 hours per day 7 days per week, and the system is perfectly fine with that.

So good question indeed.

My opinion is that Germany values with respect to "work" are incoherent and unsustainable.

Incoherent because Germany is fine with self-employed people working themselves to death for a miserable salary (most post man and DHL sub-sub-sub-sub contractors in Germany), the system itself keeps them miserable, while simultaneously preventing salaried employees to make the decision of how much do they want to work, and giving any freedom to their employers to appropriately compensate employees that perform better. The goal seems to be to squash the outperforming outliers, to try to broaden the average.

That's unsustainable, because cash cows (BMW, VW, Daimler, Siemens, Bosch, ....) come and go, but Germany can't generate them anymore. To the point that the German government essentially has to "co-conspire" with its cash cows (e.g. Diesel Scandal, etc.) to avoid any risks of them dying. The German people complain about the cash cows doing lots of lobbying, having lots of power, etc. but the reason this is the case is because, like the Germans call it, they are "of crucial relevance for the system".
It seems many here did not like the fact I did not know and find completely obvious, the fact that a Fibonacci sequence is a fundamental example of a 1D quasiperiodic structure exhibiting aperiodic long range order :-))
