Interesting concept, I have a few questions/feedback.
You should add some documentation with code examples! Most devs will want to glance over the code of the contract, I didn't see that listed. Things I want to know after reading:

1. What is the recipient of a slice for payments? Is it a wallet crypto address/ENS domain? Or is it a function in a larger smart contract? It seems this would dictate whether the sender can treat it like a normal ETH/token send or whether they have to use a dApp to send payments. Curious whether senders of payments are locked into your infrastructure or not.

2. What is the process of slice creation? Does one party decide which other parties get a piece of a slice initially, or just own 100% initially?

Somewhat related, I am building infrastructure tools for smart contracts (https://www.blocktimize.io/), and I'm looking for Beta testers who are launching smart contracts -- is there an email I could reach you at?
Exactly. Reaching out over the network like that is an invitation to, if not a revelation of, malfeasance of some kind. Apple intentionally chose to implement this "feature" in a suspect way, and specious comparisons of an OS and a browser [0] don't strike me as justification, or even explanation. Maybe it's just me, but I like my machine to stay as mine as possible.

I agree with almost all of these viewpoints. The comment one though isn't quite right.

Sometimes you just need a comment. For example, I was writing some code to an API and the company was offering a private experimental feature. The API was JSON, but this one feature was enabled by adding a small stringified JSON object to a field of the larger JSON post body. If a developer looks at it, they'll think "this must be wrong" but with a comment that briefly mentions why, everyone will be saved some time.
The first paragraph defines it well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot
Agreed.

Where I work (US-company, but I work outside of US) it is similarly weird to me.

We appear to have gone backwards in the past 5-10 years in my view - no longer can you just be "you", but now it feels like we have to be labelled, categorised, and segregated into different groups. We now have to make a big deal and a big song-and-dance to highlight our differences and define what our ethnic backgrounds are (apparently to "celebrate" it or whatever), despite there being various laws (at least in the UK) about this sort of thing being a protected characteristic that you simply cannot talk about during interviews - its weird.

What if I don't fit into some neat pigeon hole on some spreadsheet? What if I don't want to explain in detail my family tree and pointing out which ethnicity my ancestors were? This idea that people are 100% Ethnic-Category-A/Ethnic-Category-B/Ethnic-Category-C and fit neatly in those slots without any kind of overlap seems willfully ignorant at best, and subversive at worst.
On the flip side, I've at least one SAML implementation that was written based on the spec, that then failed in the wild because identity providers didn't follow the spec. Go figure.
That setup sounds really appealing!

How does the startup script work? Does it install software, and does it require root access on the dev machine?

Do you have multiple remote machines, or just one you use often?
Horribly bad comparison, of course.

"Drikning fountains for black people" existed because "Black people using white drinking fountains" was prohibited. It wasn't a preference.
Subjectively-- many of the best "black" shows in the 90s were in the Traditional Sitcom category-- Fresh Prince, Martin, Family Matters, Steve Harvey show, etc.. Even though they touched on black issues, 80% of the shows' content was "typical American experience".

Perhaps the niche-ification of streamed content has resulted in Black shows that don't feel relevant to non-black people. And since the majority don't feel it's applicable to them, they lose the algorithm game.

Just a guess, I don't have any real evidence to back this up. But if that's the problem, it seems like it would be solved by this startup.
> Black African sub-culture comment

Africa is both one of the largest and one of the most populated continent on earth. There is no Black African subculture in France. There are African immigrants from many different places in Africa each with their own cultures and many descendants of immigrants with a mix of sensibilities towards the culture of their parents places of origin.

As a French, the idea that you could have a "Netflix for black people" in France slightly insulting but our culture is extremely different from the American one. We used to have a channel dedicated to the cultures of French oversea territories but it was stopped as it wasn't doing very well.

But why would it not be as popular on netflix, amazon, hulu, ect?
I agree - I think I needed to add a bit more nuance, which I did in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28087165
Exactly. In this case, the limit is memory bandwidth.
I’d estimate that I need to read install instructions for maybe 1 in 20 pieces of software I install on desktop Linux (server is a little different because you’ll have config files that need to be coded in Ansible etc but we are talking desktop OSs anyways). Whereas if it wasn’t for homebrew, an unofficial hack, it would be 100% of software on macOS.

That doesn’t strike me as Linux being particularly worse.
America does have a relatively monolithic culture and this translates into its businesses, government, and everything else. This is easy to observe if you live outside of America.
Ouch "Uber for white people" certainly isn't (apartheid)
yes... A way to look at 2 way switches is to look at the connections of usual circuit setups to Boolean logic. Taking two on-off switches,

- parallel is or

- series is and

We can see that a 2 way switch is xor (or xnor depending on the setup).

So now, for 3 way it feels like you have to beyond 2 state (on-off) switches... i don't have a proof of impossibility that 2 state switches cannot do 3 way switching, but in practice they indeed involve more states (multi-throw etc.)
You want Apple employees going trough naked photos of your kid and deciding if its child porn or not because the algo flagged it? Because that is what this means.
But what would the justification be for setting up such a league? "Netflix for black people" is a representation of cultural differences and seeing those differences reflected on screen. "NBA for white people" would just be... excluding non-white people. White and black basketball players aren't different physically (on average) nor do they typically have different playing styles. There isn't really a lot of justification in such a division, hence why it would result in a firestorm.
I was also drawn in by Lex's selection of guests, but haven't been listening since his interview with Yeonmi Park. I was attentive for the first half, but she abrubtly refers to LGBT culture as regressive and the conversion devolves into rambling praise for Jorden P., who happens to have also had her on his podcast recently (see the comment on Frequency Bias above).
> In short- the best way to help Black people in America isn't to perpetuate our separate identity, but to remove the power and significance of racial identifiers entirely.

There is never going to be one clear way to deal with scheduling around software projects. The number of variables involved is vast.

I view schedules around software projects as a few different things:

- Public expectations for specific deliverables that your customers can align to, many times with a calendar unique to each customer.

- Internal carrot/stick for managing constraints around active feature development. If you have an infinity budget (film/AAA gaming), you might be able to run less-bounded parallel efforts as noted elsewhere in this thread.

- Orthogonal operational concerns (planned outages, et. al.)

- Roadmap for strategic product development that the investors can think about

So, when someone says something to me like "are we still on track for end of the week?", I have to provide an extremely qualified series of responses and ask more questions.
sure seems like most of the people reviewing this paper don't really get what it means and immediately jump to concluding it's "racist".

If there are correlates to self-reported race in medical images, machine learning will pick it up. Are you surprised this information is there? Race correlates to genetic history, which is what determines the differences they're seeing.

Concluding from this "AI is racist and this means medical AI is going to be really shitty" is completely the wrong message to take from this. All of this information the ML picks up on is useful data that can be used to improve outcomes for a wide range of people.
> What constitutes under-repressented? Is proportionally represented ok?

Reminds me of an article a while back complaining that Muslim characters were underrepresented in film despite being 2X proportion, meanwhile Christian characters in film are rarely represented (and secular characters wildly over-represented). When identifiably Muslim and Christian characters are portrayed in film, they are frequently villains (Muslims being terrorists and Christians being bigots, typically) and when they aren't villains they are fundamentally secular but maybe they wear a cross necklace or feature prominently in a corny Christmas special (e.g., Turk from Scrubs). Anyway, this is all a tangent, sorry for the digression, etc.
What's frustrating is that DRY is often paired with something like "The Rule of Three". Do repeat yourself about three times until you actually understand what it is that's being repeated (or whether it's just coincidental) so it can be refactored. But a lot of people forget that part and focus only on DRY.

Is the magic number 1024 the same in all instances, for example. Or is it merely a coincidence that it's the same in a few places. Is the apparently repetitious code:

context = create_context();
context.action(params);

In several places really the same? Or is it a coincidence that right now none of them pass any parameters to create_context and use the same params in their call to action?

Avoiding the repetition makes it hard to even ask that question. And disentangling the different cases later is riskier than keeping a few pieces of repeated code around for a while to understand the situation better.
If they're a few generations removed from their Nigerian or Jamaican ancestors, they probably don't have strong ties to their home countries' cultures. This seems true of most Americans whose families emigrated 3+ generations ago.

"The melatonin in their skin" explicitly shaped many aspects of law, society, and culture in the US up until the 60s, which is still in living memory, so I don't think it's that surprising that there would still be measurable differences in culture and media interests.

Think about how much your parents' lives and the stories they told you are reflected in your present-day values and interests.

You make it sound like segregation end... the last few years, and especially the state voting laws passed in the past year, show that while it may not be explicit law anymore, it is still certainly what a lot of people are fighting to do in any way possible.

I (as a middle age white male) WANT people to be thinking about because it's still happening 24/7, and people who aren't bigoted should be aware and pushing back every minute, in every way they can.

Saying "X for black people" is a cultural focus, on the same level as "Finnish music" or "Flamenco dance" or "Swahili language".
Sure, I get the immediate reaction. But this all has to do with what "blackness" and "whiteness" means; "Whiteness" effectively means here, "most everybody who didn't have to be enslaved because of their skin color."

No problem with e.g. "X for German-Americans" or the like, if the niche is there.

Well, some Americans, like myself, have hoped that the vision of the melting pot would come to pass instead of this new segregation movement. But it seems that the Woke movement wants us to resegregate: don't share culture, that's cultural appropriation. Don't move to an area that isn't your racial makeup, that's gentrification.

Don't hire people who are white, if you can help it. That's inclusion.

Create institutions, like TV channels, only for specific races. That's diversity.

Pass lots of "stimulus" bills to trigger inflation through printing money, causing everyone from the middle to the bottom to get poorer, but the same amount of poor by the end of it. That's equity.

If your Mitsubishi uses IR for it's remote, this probably would work: https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

Or, you can use a Broadlink IR blaster to clone the remote.

If your heat pump talks to MEL cloud (Mitsubishi's cloud thingy) then this should work: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/melcloud/

I have yet to buy a "smart" device that I haven't been able to control through HA. The Broadlink RF/IR bridges even makes anything with a remote automatable.

Seriously, If it wasn't for Home Assistant, the "smartness" of smart devices would be next to useless.
Probably I could spend less and still have a relatively big impact on the climate. I would just buy a lot of methane and release it into the atmosphere. Assuming [1] is correct, I could get 4t of CH4 for less than 4000€. According to the IPCC AR5, 1t of CH4 is equivalent to 28t of CO2. So I could "easily" have a climate impact of 112t CO2e. This is more than 22 times the global average of CO2e emissions per capita.

My point is that one Euro can have a huge or a small impact on the climate. Nevertheless there are some studies that wealthy people produce more CO2e because of their higher consumption. Everyone should reduce their consumption to what's really necessary. For a real change though, we would need better laws, and people that lobby for them. You could help, too! [2]

My in-laws put their house on the market, and the Real Estate agent produced a walk-through video.

My wife and I couldn't stop laughing because the agent photoshopped a view into the kitchen window, but even in the context of the video it's clearly a plane with a texture on it just outside the window. It looks like a low-res poster of the Himalayas hung outside their kitchen window; it's not a convincing fake view in the slightest.

Don't know what the agent was thinking, the actual view out the window is better than that.
Show HN: Zenkit Projects – The project management solution for successful teams
Hey HN!

Zenkit Projects is a dedicated project management tool that easily connects with the rest of the Zenkit suite.

Over the years, we’ve gathered a lot of experience with Zenkit Base for project management, so we implemented our 5 key-learnings: It is super easy-to-use, has a 360-degree dashboard, a global Kanban, resource management, and dedicated reporting. We’ve implemented many of the most highly-requested features and functions into Projects:

-A dashboard displaying personal and team task completeness, as well as progress across all projects.

-Global Kanban board, task list, and calendar views, as well as daily and weekly agendas.

-Grouping, sorting, and filtering in global views and reports.

-Custom reports with over 720 different configuration options.

-Resource management in the Gantt view, as well as a global resource planner.

-Multiple ways to view and work with projects, including Gantt, Kanban, calendar and hierarchy.

We would love it if you'd try it out and give us some feedback! Also, if you have any questions about Zenkit Projects please don't hesitate to post it in the comments.

It has a permanent sensor on there, so the sensor doesn't remove the signal to not turn the automatic sprinklers on until you press the manual bypass button, or until the sensor no longer detects moisture above the set threshold.

When the controller hits the scheduled time it checks with the sensor unit, if the sensor says there's too much moisture it doesn't turn them on.

I haven’t lived in a society with such a tragic racial history as in US. So my intuition tells me socioeconomic class is more relevant than the race. If I’m a white UPS driver, I have more in common with a black DHL driver than with a white physician. Like, working people go to the same restaurants, shops and have the same struggles overall. But then again, I’ve seen all the news about the BLM protests and I realize I know nothing about how society is structured in the US.

It turns out that a similar technique, where you basically apply noise multiple times to a single image, and average predictions over all noisy images- equivalent to convolving your nn with Gaussian noise yields near state of the art bounds on provable robustness (under a specific class of attacks). The issue is the magnitude of noise you need in order to get practically robust networks is quite large relative to the data you are dealing with.

> What does a Nigerian have in common with a Jamaican, apart from the melatonin in their skin? Why would they have similar tastes in media?

They don't necessarily. Not speaking for the BlackOakTV folks here but I don't think this is trying to target all black people. The US is somewhat unique in having a large population that was ripped from their respective home countries and forced to create their own shared culture under the thumb of slavery. Someone that immigrated from Nigeria in the last decade doesn't have that same experience.
It's worth noting that a majority of American east-coast homes have some amount of black mold, which is scary stuff. Run a HEPA filter in your home, you won't regret it.

I think it's a bad take to assume that everyone using a Mac needs a 1-2 click. If someone finds terminal commands "obscure", I'd hate to see what their SQL looks like, in which case maybe they shouldn't be running a database server.

For what it's worth, installing Docker on Mac (the audience we're talking about) is as easy as installing Postgres.app (download an installer and open). No administrator privileges necessary, unless you have a weird setup, in which case you'll run into the same issues running Postgres.app.
