I disagree with the comment and find it very shallow, but I do not demand its author to be punished, banned from the forum, fired or stalked.

Rejecting cancel culture is not equal to "never expressing any disagreement whatsoever".
That was later on, and one of the dumber things Nokia did. People bought Nokia just for the ease of charging, then found out they had an incompatible charger nonetheless. That one burnt a lot of goodwill.

It seems Nokia never realized what power they had with their de facto market standards. They threw it all away for no reason at all.

They were also one of the few who had a chance to have a smartphone platform like android and apple. People would trust them,even if they were late to market. But their infighting made them blind to their own potential. The whole Microsoft thing at the end was just the cherry on top.
We can do it accurately, to any precision you care to pay for. Since n-body gravitation is a chaotic system, getting more precise predictions requires more precise measurements of the current state of the solar system. When it’s not possible to measure things more precisely, we instead run many simulations with small random perturbations in the current state, then classify the simulations to get probabilities.
Huh, I assumed this was a work of fiction tbh. Not sure how GPT3 comes up with that ending.

Following your logic, its a great thing that local authorities didn't do anything stop the local gangs, nor encourage taking any safety measures to protect yourself. Yay freedom?

Good grief. Thanks for pointing that out - it gave me goosebumps. I can't get my head around how clearly he could see what was happening, and why/how it was happening, and what the end game would be. Brilliant, if chilling.

I've been interested in how to drastically upend the real estate market for quite a few years. My prefered solution involves creating a real estate backed complementary currency...

This currency would be based on algorithmic appraisals of the intrinsic objective and quantifiable qualities that a particular piece of real estate had. The algorithmic appraisal would be designed to appraise the property for the same value over time.

When a seller wants to sell a property, an amount of currency equal to the appraised value is generated, and given to the seller.

When a home is purchased, it must be purchased using this currency, which is then destroyed.

This allows for several key differences over traditional home buying and selling. It creates a sort of limbo in which a home does not have an owner.

The first is that as a seller, you can have your funds immediately without having to find a buyer.

Second is that it moves volatility in housing pricing to a single value: The exchange rate of this housing currency.

Third, because the outstanding currency equals the total of all the un-owned property, it is likely to be a way to invest in the idea of real estate without actually owning any specific property at the moment.

The un-owned properties could be rented out to fund the operation of the system, to help provide funds to stabilize the market and exchange rate, and take care of operational expenses.

I bought a domain a few years ago to act as the focus of this idea.

REITcoin.com

Is anyone interested in going forward with this? I'm willing to sell the domain for the right price, or an equity share in the business behind it. I haven't had a chance to execute on it yet because I have so many other things that are taking priority.
Not free enough to buy a phone with only one supported app store - this option is too good so needs to be illegal.

I was very impressed by Greg Wilson's 2009 presentation, which seems to have disappeared from Video, but I think corresponds to these slides: https://www.slideshare.net/gvwilson/bits-of-evidence-2338367

It truly changed the way I think about not just software development, but it changed my entire view of the world, which is more than I can say of any other presentation. Granted, I was still at a fairly impressionable age of 17 when I listened to it, but still.

Definitely looking forward to listening to this one too.

How about we reduce the patent validity to few years? The exceptions should benefit the public too. IF they can't meet the demand they should be forced to sell their patent for that time.
Yeah, NTL/Virgin Media in the UK do the same in that their IPs geolocate to where the node/head end is. In a city, it's not going to be specific enough to uniquely identify you but it's still weird seeing ads that aren't that far away.

On the other hand, the IPv4/v6 addresses on my A&A connection geolocate to either London or Bracknell (where their office is), about 400 miles away. I get a lot of pointless ads for things in Surrey that I have no intention of visiting.
"The only way a small developer gets paid for a patent is by selling it to a patent troll."

There is another way. You can sell the company that owns the patent to a larger company (that isn't a troll). M&A's often assign a high value to IP...
What you're missing is the statistical probability of two MD5 hashes colliding, which is astronomically unlikely.

Your argument is essentially that a collision is more likely than a false positive, which would imply a false positive rate of 0.00% in NCMEC's database based on its size.

It's clear that nothing will convince you if you believe that humans managing a database will never, ever make a mistake after over 300,000,000 entries. Because if they make one single mistake, then it supports my argument -- a false positive becomes substantially more likely statistically than a hash collision.

You're also providing a pretty large red herring with your suggestion that he could've simply asked NCMEC if it was a false positive or a hash collision. NCMEC would never provide that information, because the database is highly secret.

Given those statistics, I think that source is more than valid.

>in my opinion, strong positive evidence that your other citation-free assertions are all entirely made up

I am happy to let you believe that I'm lying.

One industry insider whose employer works with NCMEC cited a false positive rate of 1 in 1,000. [1] The product he works in is used in conjunction with NCMEC's database. Elsewhere, in press releases, the company cites a failure rate of 1% (presumably both false positives and false negatives) [2]

Sad, but almost all of us would do the same.
Yes but having choices doesn't take time, only using them does. Picking one OS over the other because of many options is basically saying "I can't have choices because I can't stop myself from using them". What takes time is having an OS you have to fight because it refuses to do what you need it to do because of some decision taken by Apple. When that happens MacOS gets extremely expensive in time.
Did you run into any problems using that layout? I tried using it (also after discovering it on HN) but I could not get around that bug where Windows error sounds appear randomly when alt tabbing.
"deep mistrust of authority" won't likely go away if people see "stomping on a lot of sources of misinformation" every day.

This isn't a new situation. People spread hoaxes, but also true and unwanted info, in the wars when governments tried to suppress unfavorable news from the fronts. Mistrust / distrust cannot really be remedied by massive shows of force.
Here in Boston, the Swan Boats and Frog Pond skating operation rent space from the city of Boston. There are around a dozen food and push carts on the common and several semi-permanent structures offering various services. (These don’t appear to have a traditional foundation, but they also don’t look to have moved regularly.)

I’m surprised no parks near you have a similar program; perhaps there isn’t enough foot traffic to make it worthwhile?

In terms of whether the park department should make deals like these with other operations, if the citizens they ostensibly work for want them, then they should. The Swan Boats and Frog Pond are wildly popular and enjoy widespread public support here.
> but I'd be more tactful about how you frame it.

Fair enough, but thats never really how i've been, and old habits die hard.

> So many people have had no choice but to comply with some pretty harsh restrictions

True, but the writing has been on the wall for a while in certain jurisdictions that could even enable governments to do such things. I have a lot of sympathy for those who wanted out but couldn't for whatever reason (this goes beyond covid).

> Colombia, from your list, for example may be open now but a few months ago the cops were beating people for going out. Not "please sir go back inside" but literal beat downs

Yeah, cops like to beat down folks for various reasons everyday throughout the world (some places more than others), with or without covid restrictions, and that sucks in general.
Thanks for sharing, S3 is still one of the most fascinating technologies that I admire
That's pretty much how drug development is done, especially at scale. You have robots running tests on hundreds/thousands of molecules in mini-tubes to check if anything has any kind of effect.
One way to deal with these kinds of issues is to express your initial conditions as intervals (or even distributions) in the sense that you include the a range of possible values, rather than the most probable one (which is normally implicitly done). So if you measure the earth to be (6±1)e24 kg, then you work with something that looks like [5,7]e24 kg i.e. the segment of the number line corresponding to the possible physical realities that led to your measurement. You'll get a range of different outcomes in the end, and their relative probabilities given your priors. You can do this exactly for some systems, but usually you'll do some monte carlo and hope it's valid. This is similar to classical (linear) error propagation where you carry around an "uncertainty", but chaotic systems don't generally allow you to make the assumption of narrow Gaussians used there.
There's something more than a little gross in reading that Delta Force (gotta love self-aggrandizing names. I suppose Hep-Cat-with-Guns was rejected out of hand.) was inspired by the British campaign in the Malaya Emergency[0], which seems to have set the modern standard for blood-soaked, torture-ridden "counter-insurgency" warfare.

The Wikipedia page [1] references on event as the "British Mai Lai". But it happened in 1948, decades before the Mai Lai [2] massacre.

N.B. I'm expressly not saying that there's anything uniquely wicked about British or American soldiers, many of whom seem to be decent sorts, doing jobs that I could not. But the mythos of so-called elite forces is a giant stinking vat of horse pickles, and always was. (Bret Devereaux's material about the Spartans seems like proof enough [3])

Read about stoicism and comparing yourself to others. I think no good comes from it, even if it gives you the motivation to succeed, the source of that motivation is external.
> We don't have any evidence for a sudden ("sodden"?) Noah-style flood.

I think we do have a lot evidence about that. We just haven't observed it during the past 1,000 years. There is one nice small-scale introduction video about this happening in the USA [1], but I remember reading recent scientific papers that talk about it as a world wide event. They put it roughly 12,000 years ago (not 2,000 years ago).

Also the story of the discovered - J. Harlen Bretz - as sad as it is, is quite telling about how unscientific scientists can get. Mainstream geology rejected his ideas mainly because "his theory implied the potential possibilities of a Biblical flood, which the scientific community strongly rejected" [2]. In other words - they have already assumed that things described in the Bible must be nonsense, hence, any facts pointing to the contrary must be interpreted in a different way.

If you don't reside in your country of citizenship (definition of residence varies by country) then you don't have to pay taxes in that country. US is the exception.
It is a chaotic system. Arbitrary small deviations in the initial conditions will result in completely different outcomes. So your simulation will eventually diverge from reality as you cannot measure the initial conditions exactly.
Can apple appeal in this case to a higher court not in Texas? (As I understand, a lot parent cases are brought to one small district in Texas)

And secondly can apple stop doing business in east Texas all together so that Rodney gilstrap no longer has jurisdiction?
> 100% legal and a low-risk transaction for a bank. No amount of "going after the banks" changes that.

With the caveat that I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, a government can absolutely change the law if they want to give themselves the powers to prevent that from happening.
Some countries did exactly that, China for example. Most of the infrastructure, ISP networks, even user applications here is now IPv6 or ought to be in a few years [1].

> Following your logic, its a great thing that local authorities didn't do anything stop the local gangs, nor encourage taking any safety measures to protect yourself.

They did, always another task force this that or another (I was only aware of some of this growing up), but never really changed the realities on the ground that some were exposed to more than others. Just learned to grow up and not expect that much and try to work with the people around me and watch each other, which wouldn't be possible if we were just trying to coerce one another to do things we didn't want to do (and was already kind of hard because I couldn't necessarily trust some around me).

By all means, live where you want to live and shoot your self up with the latest drug someone is pushing (whether that is some kid selling "water" on the corner or Pfizer incentivized doctors in a pop up tent) to your ability to do so.
Cool. Android can do that in 2021 and Symbian is dead.

Interesting. Curious what the yield is. And he doesn't need a cleanroom, or work with dangerous chemicals like HF?
This is very hard in reality though especially on goods from abroad; your NIE has to be on the invoice officially (which companies like BA do not do for you and I flew with them a lot for business) and while this is not strictly enforced, I got slapped many times on valid business purchases. The gestor told me to just deduct 75% of the deductible vat to not get onto the radar. Ugh.
A large portion of USD's worth is from it being the primary currency in trading oil, the "Petrodollar". If countries switch to a different currency, that will hurt USD. Then again, Libya's president Gaddafi was working on gold-for-oil trade, and then he was overthrown and killed by US-backed rebels.

No. A small error in the initial conditions of a 2-body system produces a small error in the result. In case of a 3-body system, a small error will result in drastically different outcomes. The phase space of a 2-body system is nice and smooth, but a 3-body system’s is more like a fractal.
This is dope, congrats.

I've read in other comments that you also built this in React... I think people would kill to read a deep dive of the differences you've seen between both frameworks in the context of building this project. I'm a hardcore React user, and Svelte looks great, but what prevents me from adopting it is that I don't have enough info of what its limitations "at the edges" may be in a complex project (whereas I understand React very well in this sense).

Barring a full-on technical blog post - which I think would get you a lot of exposure, but is too much to ask - if you could share some thoughts here I would really appreciate it.

Wireless charging is super slow and prone to miss connection if my iphone SE is anything to go by.

I don’t think anybody has a problem with iCloud scanning (don’t they do it already?). Apple owns their servers, so I don’t care if they scan them.

It’s the on-device scanning that is the massive overreach. It’s like being forced to allow a government employee to live in your home and watch your behavior 24/7 for anything they don’t like.

“Oh but John is only looking for specific bad behavior like drug use, you don’t have to worry. He would never report you for anything else, we promise! If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t be upset that John is living with you now!”

This is what VAT and property taxes are for. When I went to Costa Rica to a hotel, I payed quite high taxes there. Also there's VAT on every other service that I took (like taxi and Uber, though taxis hate Uber in Costa Rica and go to great lengths to tell you that it's illegal).

At the same time as I'm travelling, I'm still paying capital gain taxes to the country where I live officially, even though I get nothing in return from that country.

gotta make something out of what we have. regardless if we make it that big or not, an ounce of appreciation of what's infront of us really goes a long way.

nothing wrong in striving towards comfort and luxury, nothing wrong in being a little salty on how others get it easier (some are even born to it, right lol). just see and live life as it is.

Exactly. And it would be the same if you included the word “doesn’t” in that statement. It just means that it’s all hearsay and only the people involved know the real truth.

This is why gossip and rumors are such a powerful thing. We all want to think that what we know or what we heard is true, but very few people are willing to accept that what they heard might not be accurate. Especially once they have repeated it to someone else.

Ask HN: Are you still against repealing Section 230?
Nitpick + a little more thought: Isn't it more correct to say, that initially slightly different conditions might (instead of "will") result in a very much different outcome? Does chaotic mean, that two states which only differ a little must result in vastly different outcomes? I wonder whether there could be states, which are very similar and some condition drives them to converge again. Or is such a thing impossible?
The problem is that a three-body system is inherently unstable/chaotic. So even if you run a numerical simulation with the same granularity for a two-body and a three-body system, the three-body simulation will degrade much faster than the two-body system. This is unrelated to the fact that there is a closed form solution, there are many stable, non-chaotic dynamical systems that don't have a closed form solution.

Then when I travel it’s one cable for everything.
