I don’t see it really as punishment, just prioritization of public funds which is normal when it comes to socialized healthcare.

The virus may be a moving target, but all governments have shown that they are willing to fund public safety against infection. If circumstances change, we may have to return to free and widespread testing, but the hope is that vaccination can drive the active infection rate to 0 which is something that all our measures for the past year have been unable to do.

None of the Cryptocurrencies are truly decentralized, at best, they are distributed. They all have devs with access to the repos and devs who can deploy changes.
Especially Ethereum is firmly in the hands of Buterin and company.

Both depend on each other.
Without miners, no currency, without code no mining, without very high algo difficulty, no safety.

>but crypto is subject to the same politics only with a much smaller pool of voters

Anyone can change the crypto you use if you don't like the mechanisms or decisions.

Most can't change their choice of government/monetary policy.

Market selection pressure works very well historically. We don't have this without crypto.

>The mechanisms of distributing crypto clients will betray the interests of the common citizen. There is no leverage for commoners, only special interests.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Unclear.

>Inflation could be used to redistribute wealth for greater equity and the worlds wealthiest see this threat which I think is the only reason crypto has their attention.

Are you aware of the nature of inflation? Of where new money supply 1st hits? of the set of special interests aware of & open-market-front-running impending inflation before it's unanimously decided on? Doesn't seem like it.
interesting etymology pointer, "cul de sac" is literally the arse of the bag. (cul deriving from cullus, which is latin for arse. )
and things like social wallets and trust networks as a response to those issues are emerging as the best way forward, less seed phrases and hardware wallets with tiny buttons. connecting with friends is the best security. turns out ethereum is a social network with a very fast uptake worldwide.

it shows us that community and support for one another is the Layer 0 that these things are built on top of. code isnt law, people come first. if we stick with that it could work pretty well.

What issues do you have with cuckoo hashing? Unlike bloom filters it seems like a completely reasonable default / baseline no?
Unfortunately we're all becoming surveillance states :(

So many European countries are now requiring people to ID themselves and get a QR code scanned at every shop, every restaurant, every public transport journey. All combining to a detailed digital record of who has been where. Under the guise of protecting against COVID but who says this will disappear once the pandemic is over?

I think we're going too far to accomodate those who won't get vaccinated. If everyone gets it, this scanning wouldn't be necessary (after all, vaccination is enough to get access). We're giving up a lot of privacy all of a sudden without any serious debate. The alternative (getting tested every 2 days) is not viable anyway so eventually everyone will get it. IMO we should just make it mandatory now and skip the privacy invasion. Give the people who refuse anyway a fine and leave it at that (there will be so few left not to be an issue). I'm not in favour of forcing it.

I'm surprised Australia is still so worried about terrorism though. It never really had an issue with it in the first place and it's no longer the monster of the week.
"Every bit of observable behaviour could be explained in terms of habitual behaviour and physical pattern matching, exactly what a trained NN will do - it will perfectly accurately separate patterns which corresponds to different quantities, while posses no notion of any abstract concepts whatsoever."

I think this is interesting -- what's stopping us from making that exact assumption? For all we know, higher consciousness and "humanity" is simply an emergent property of lots and lots of rote pattern recognition stacked on top of itself. I think there's an argument to be made that there's no line between "pattern matching" and "abstract concepts" -- it's more of a smooth, emergent gradient.

Just my two cents.
I just downloaded it and tried the first 100 TikToks after expressing my interests explicitly and putting 'personalised' ads and app sharing on... I know it takes a while to get an algorithm going but, I was thoroughly bored with all of the content.

I also saw a lot of content I'd already seen before. A lot of people mentioned they see TikTok content on YT, reddit, FB. I also see it the other way around, including plenty of classic meme content from years ago before TikTok even existed.

Can the people who're so glowing about tiktok please post their top 3 interesting accounts? At this point I'm not sure whether I'm looking at other stuff, or that my judgement of the same stuff is just different.
And cavemen managed, but how well?
Prospecting Tactics Every Founder Should Learn
> I really don't have to do that, but maybe if you see this enough times, you will get to learn something.

You tried to argue with a false equivalence earlier and then continue to ignore a basic question about the definition of having a 'para-social relationship' with the people you follow on TikTok which you have just described all by yourself in that long post [0] which everyone can see for themselves.

Before you try to ignore the question again, isn't what you have just described here [0] a 'para-social relationship' and fits the definition described here? [1][2]

> Hostility was saying that people "like me" are addicts to parasocial relationships.

So these creators know you personally then and don't treat you like a follower, or a fan then?, and somehow you are not 'addicted' to TikTok then?

On top of that you haven't given an answer to these questions:

>> So you are saying that there weren't any leaks happening about TikTok then, which suggests that they can suppress any content they want to or shadow-ban tags? So you trust them that they won't do it again then, since you think in your opinion that 'TikTok is the best thing to have happened to the Internet.'?

> So I humbly ask you to cease.

So far you have given zero evidence in all of your own comments and you are actively ignoring my questions right here. Substantiate your comments by answering these questions with evidence and sources, as I'll just continue to assume.

Many apartments don't have a bathtub, only a shower. And if everyone keeps tap water running, the pressure will drop down to trickle. Cold cellars can be in short supply, underground car parks tend to get hot too. And seems you probably never bathed in 35°C water, it's definitely not refreshing.

And there are psychological issues that people just don't know what to do till it's too late. I was living an apartment with only 1 southern window, the heat was hard to vent. Once during a heatwave I found myself in a weird lethargy then I started going sick and then I found out the thermometer shows 40°C inside. I went outside immediately. Were not a healthy young man, that could have ended up badly. Since that I never underestimate the heat.

That does not mean 100% fatality rate is possible but it definitely might be more than 0.1%.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how would they rack an overcharge? From my experience I've never paid more than the fare calculated before the ride is even accepted by a driver. I haven't heard of any cases of overcharge, or seen any traces of dynamic pricing after the ride has completed, save from tips. Maybe I'm just lucky?
Practicality of Body Moisture Recycling

I fear that in practice, this will divide the pro-vax and anti-vax camps even further. Pressuring, insulting and deriding unvaccinated people will make them even less likely to get the vaccine.
Ive shifted to disappearing messages by default for about 4 months now and I like how it feels to communicate in this way! It feels more like talking directly with someone instead of collaboratively filling out a log. One mental shift is to remember that if something is said that I need to remember I need to write it down in a different place (much like I would need to if we were talking face to face).

I've also found it somewhat therapudic to let go of the past in other places as well. This included throwing away tshirts I got at a successful startup 10 years ago and even cleaning out my "digital closet" by delete my 10 years of location history on Google and old emails.

Playing legacy board games, which require destroyibg pieces of the game as it progresses so you can not back out or do it again a different way, introduced me to this feeling and I enjoy it.

Funnily enough, around the same time I made this mental change I also started keeping a journal.
They are not saying criticism against Tether is invalid, merely that you cannot criticize Tether and call it a "DeFi" critique.

At the end of the day, centralized assets on Ethereum are as legitimate as decentralized ones. The whole point of Ethereum is that it permissionless. If we celebrate Iranians or 16 year olds being able to build on top of it then certainly Goldman Sachs may do so as well.
Before making this comment, did you acknowledge the possibility that it could go bad in the future?
@americanbaron makes great short films on TikTok!
You're right of the goal is to lower the temperature of the structure lower than the ambient temperature.

If the goal is simply to lower the temperature of the building to that of the wind, simple radiators such as those is perfectly fine.

Knowing that cities temperature is often a few degrees higher than that of the surrounding air, that would work in contemporary settings as well. But trees could play the same role more efficiently and with additional health and environmental benefits.
$600M stolen from crypto platform Poly Network
>Having both an “Open” command and an “Open, but faster and does less” command

>I personally see this particular feature as redundant (given there is already thumbnailing and a means to open files)

I'm guessing neither of you have actually used QuickLook and/or don't use apps like Photoshop or Illustrator which, even on a fast SSD equipped laptop can take around 30 seconds to open. QuickLook is much more than just a preview.

When I'm browsing a folder of my image files and can't remember which of dozens of files is the one I actually want, QuickLook lets me pop open a screen sized modal preview window, which is as good as having that file open in the app. If it's not the file I'm looking for, I hit the up or down arrows and the next or previous file's content is displayed in the already open preview popup. If some of those other image files were created by Illustrator, I've just saved myself an additional ~30 seconds, by not having to open that app too. And, once I find the image I want, I can open it in its associated app directly from a button in the top of the preview pane.

But, even if you're not a graphic designer, QuickLook has its uses for other types of document too. It can preview the content of source code files [with syntax highlighting] preview the rendered output of things like HTML, PDF, Markdown, AsciiDoc etc. You can even scroll through the pages of a multipage document.

This is another timesaver I use all the time. Being able to check the date or bottom line on a received PDF invoice, without opening it... being able to check whether I mentioned something in a letter I sent, without firing up a text editor or word processor... being able to see a rendered representation of what an HTML file contains... etc. etc.
It's just the logical consequence of unchecked abilities. If there was a counter force, e.g., personal liability for abuse, things might be different. But since lawmakers can basically do whatever they want and, worst case, maybe have their laws retracted later by some court, they will invariably pile surveillance measure on top of intervention measure on top of loisening some restrictions so they at least did something while in office.

Later, of course, some politician will abuse this power. But then it's too late. You cannot assemble anymore because your messengers will be disabled/censored. You cannot speak freely anymore because your home assistant will rat you, apple style. You cannot even move freely anymore because your car and your public transportation will be tied to your digital persona and your social score. Of course you can forget about paying for something because both cash and cryptocurrency will be outlawed.
Every time I see stories about TikTok’s success I keep thinking of Vine’s failure and whether or not it would be in the same position by now if it survived?
I think it's possible but it's also not clearly borne out by the data yet. What came out was that TikTok was "most downloaded", but that is in part because they've been paying $$$ for user acquisition through ads. There is definitely some addictiveness to the platform but it's not clear that users who download are staying long term. Personally I fell off the charm a few months ago and nothing at all is pulling me back in. We would have to see what happens in ~ a year when they run out of users to acquire and YouTube develops its own vertical-scrolling short form content.
A pattern that has occurred repeatedly with many SoMe companies over the last decade is highly relevant to a discussion about the new SoMe company that allegedly solves all the problems of previous social media. It's not just needless negativity.
Download the Immense Bible Secret in the Exodus Effect Book
While interpreting the Bible from Hebrew to Greek, specialists mistranslated the word 'Kaneh Bosm', into single word, 'Kanabos'. In the state of the art Bible translations, the unraveled word addresses sweet Calamus, which is in all honesty, a yellow desert bloom that has no known clinical properties. In any case, as shown by the essayists of Exodus Effect, Kaneh chest is another word for 'cannabis' and this fixing has been covered inside the book of Exodus, straightforwardly under our actual noses.

For that same reasoning I support telegram more than signal. I simply do not see signal ever get to a widespread adoption, I do not see signal trying to get to a widespread adoption either; signal is not a messaging app it is a secure comunication app and for this they make a lot of tradeoffs.

An example is E2EE, it is a nice property but today it has significant UX implications that makes it bad default in my opinion for a popular personal messagin app; in other places it is essential, just not there.

Moreover the main threat model is not NSA hacking my device or the app's servers, it is app developer selling my data and governments making "lawful" requests to service providers. In both these metrics signal ranks better as far as I understand, but it is more of an individual choice.

If we are worried about the NSA the best thing to do is to move out of SMS/phone calls as fast as possible on mediums that do not allow passive monitoring and are likely to resist government pressure.
These techniques were the best ancient technology could manage, but wouldn't satisfy most people today.

The initially described version can bring your house down to the temperature of high up air (ground level air might be 50C because the surface of the ground is heated a lot by the sun, whereas air 10 meters up is much cooler).

The version with water cooling can bring your house down to the wet bulb temperature of high up air.

But modern people expect a temperature lower than both of those using refrigeration. And then they keep that coolness in using good insulation (neither of which were available in the ancient world).
The ISP assigned a unique password and puts it as a label beneath the router - in my case. I kept it. I consider it save enough.
Lots of caches don’t need precise invalidation, either because they have a short lifespan (e.g. request-bound) or because the removals are so rare it’s not that expensive to blow the entire cache in the grand scheme of things.
This does not reflect my experience with using Tiktok. Tiktok very quickly determined i wanted queer content, and that's basically all I see now.
Is anyone curating the latest developments in this space? I feel like I only stumbled upon Vacuum filters and now Ribbon filters just because of the top comment on a HN thread. Is anyone doing a "latest/developments in the datastructure/algo space"?
It’s only positive cause HN also likes bashing FB. Just give it time and the tides will turn.
The intent is to be outcompeted as an investment vehicle. The goal is approaching zero investment.

I'm thinking that inflation would be priced in as platform fees for exchanges. Thinking of transactions in terms of throughput, the question is "how long do I have to store EUR in INF to be able to match an EUR sell with a buy." The transaction fee would be (at least) the inflation over that range.

The notion that blockchains should produce value by competing for investment is exactly the wrong idea that I'm trying to avoid.

An inflation half-life of a week is probably excessive. It really only has to be bigger than the IRL currencies it interfaces with. (Which in turn only have to be bigger than the value growth in their market.) But proposing a high inflation like that puts the focus of efficiency and monetary gain on improving transaction performance, which is imo where it should be.

Also having a high inflation lets you limit the size of the ledger - eventually, old transactions simply become irrelevant by being too comparatively small to matter. You could even reward people for erasing their historic transactions - ie. allow them to roll several historic transactions into one, as a way to reduce the inflation tax. (Or phrased differently, tax ledger entries.)
Wow, thank you for the questions! At first I thought “awesome, America is learning livable towns”, but living as a captive customer of a rent-only company town sounds like dystopian hell. Sigh.
One theory I read once is that Australia leads the way with these laws for the other members of the five eyes to eventually follow. Is there any truth in this?
Thanks for this context!

I wonder how the peer review process missed the use of an inefficent bloom filter implementation?
Well, to be fair none of the things mentioned are specific to operating systems programming. I think that not understanding the things mentioned is one of the reasons software runs so slowly these days even on computers than are orders of magnitude more powerful than just twenty years ago.

Debate over Crypto Taxation Threatens to Derail $1T Infrastructure Bill
what about sequence learning minmax cat?

mmm. or just play nice.
Isn't that the point? You can't say that tiktok "gets rid of people" in those demographics when Tiktok's algo creates all these micro communities where they flourish.

I've never seen more diversity and representation on social media than on Tiktok.
Please don't do that. It's a terrible idea because CloudFlare will then get to decide who gets to see your website or not (and CloudFlare hates privacy tech like Tor), and also because then CloudFlare will terminate the HTTPS (TLS) connection on their side so they essentially get to know all your passwords.

I've selfhosted on 64Kbit/s modem then xDSL for years without a problem (apart from bots trying default passwords). If you are really afraid you'll run into DDOS attacks and whatnot, consider using a small 2-5$/mo VPS as reverse-proxy instead of CloudFlare to retain control of your infrastructure.
Fans are environmentally cheap to run.

Compressors not so much.

Worth remembering when armchair-reengineering the world.
That is, assuming you have plenty of time.

I don't.

Is it too much to ask to have competently built hardware with competent software for a reasonable price enabled by mass production?

I mean, just don't make stupid things like open access to it from a single point of failure where a single engineer can loose their AWS key and enable attackers to access million networks?

Or build devices that overheat placed on an open shelf in home office in truly unreasonably hot Polish climate?
I suppose someone needs to point out how weird it is that people with wide and strong immunity due to recovering from corona are not able to get an exemption from taking a vaccine. Especially now that we know vaccines don't prevent transmission.

I can't figure out why this is talked about so rarely, maybe someone can explain it to me. My best guess is that it's similar "logic" to the lies about wearing masks in the first few months of last year, but even then I don't see the need.
Ah, I should have known better. I was misinterpreting from the article linked in the article where it says (about a fork), "Miners, exchanges, and node operators also had to agree to update their software."
In Germany, vaccination is available freely and for all whom the vaccines have been approved for. I have the impression, this is the case in many countries in the EU and the US.
Under that same logic nothing that could potentially ever go badly should ever be discussed as it can always happen and thus there is no value in discussing it?

Not all of us think along the same lines.

Some might like to believe that things are perfectly fine and there is no harm in participating.

Some might realize the potential for harm, but simply not care about the outcome.

Others have a different opinion, one of caution and not participating in case things do go bad.

It has nothing to do with feelings of 'smug satisfaction'.

I do truly hope that you aren't surrounded by people for whom it would for these kinds of discussions.

Forcing a KYC on miners will trigger a hard-fork on the Bitcoin chain. It doesn't matter where miners keep mining, the end users are going to determine the strongest chain (via price) and thus the KYC miners will either shutdown operations or move to a KYC-free environment.
