Wow, thank you for the feedback and resources! I saw the ShotSpotter stuff but from a first glance didn't see how it really applies to Tovera. I'll take another look.

- We store the asset ID, additional metadata, and associated checksum in our datastore (for reliability, scalability, and performance reasons). We then essentially mint an NFT with a URI to a JSON object stored in IPFS with a privacy-respecting minimal copy of the above as additional protection against our datastore being called into question. Eventually it may be 100% blockchain-something based but it's such a rapidly evolving space there's no clear "perfect" solution (just yet).

- The age verification and jurisdiction stuff are related to COPPA in the United States (and similar in other jurisdictions). It's my first time dealing with it and what we have in place will evolve but EULA or otherwise I don't mind being perhaps a little more cautious on this front until I can get a better understanding of all the issues at play. In any case we could do a much better job explaining why we (probably? might?) need date of birth and country.

- Overall I'm not thrilled with the signup and onboarding process and it's towards the top of the list for something we need to spend some quality time on.

- I'll have to look into the download button issue (not sure how we missed that).

- Great point on the copy to clipboard buttons!

Thanks again for taking a look and providing feedback, I submitted to Show HN[0]two weeks ago but as you can see it never got any traction. Feedback like yours was exactly what I was hoping to get. Still trying to figure out what happened with our Show HN but that's a bigger issue.

Caused by the initial shock of AIDS, and ongoing activism, there has been consistent funding from federal and various private sources in development. Thanks to these efforts, antiretrovirals are widely available, making AIDS a "solved" problem in the sense that you can prevent AIDS onset indefinitely with the right medication.

Right now, the problem is more about actually accessing the people who might have HIV, getting them to test themselves regularly, and then giving them access to HIV medication if they are positive. Often these people are on the fringes of society. A vaccine would be an ideal tool to reach these people than asking them to get tested regularly.

HIV is a way harder virus to develop a vaccine for than SARS-CoV-2. For starters, once you have it, HIV is way more dangerous. Most people with covid don't need medical attention at all, they can deal with it themselves. Meanwhile, someone infected with HIV is basically sentenced to death in a couple of years if they aren't medicated (>90% mortality rate). The current covid pandemic is so severe because covid spreads so much better than HIV does. Our immune system can't really deal with HIV in a way that we survive the encounter. With SARS-CoV-2 you only need to slightly nudge the immune system into the right direction. That's a way easier task.

HIV also has an immensely large mutation rate. The genetic diversity in a single individual is larger than the genetic diversity of one entire yearly influenza outbreak. So you need to come up with defenses that help against a gigantic set of HIV viruses. We still need to vaccinate people yearly with an influenza shot, because we can't create universal influenza vaccines yet. It's an open problem similar to how a HIV vaccine is an open problem.

TLDR: There is already something like warp speed for HIV, but we were mostly lucky that it was so easy to come up with a covid vaccine.
Both of those could easily be solved if it were part of git proper, right? I don't see why not, or why they wouldn't be.

Regardless, I'm going to be sad if the UX we get to replace it is any of the newish/cutting-edge Git features, because they're damn ugly. In fact, despite how annoying LFS is for being a separate thing and requiring extra effort for server-side support if you're self-hosting, given Github and Gitlab (among others) support for LFS, I don't see things like sparse-checkout replacing it unless they get a lot nicer to use for that purpose specifically.

One thing that might help would be for Git to make distributing & sharing default repo config easy and built-in. Only thing that gets that treatment is the .gitignore. I feel like I need source control for my source control config, sometimes, and, indeed, some software's cropped up to do just that for e.g. hooks, but that ought to be built-in and cover more than that. One nice thing about LFS is that there's zero client-side config, aside from installing & enabling it (globally, if you like). You don't have to pass around lists of LFS-managed files or checkout-patterns or set-up scripts (hope you made them idempotent!) or anything out-of-band.
For that drastic a difference you need to play about 30 games on average to be 99% sure that p_win>0.02 in the Bayesian model.

Agreed that win rates are not the only data available, and that players probably should have noticed the difference. Attributing it to a bug is arguably a harder problem.
It would be interesting to have a map of trash flow.

There was another post about an open source RTS game, you're commenting on an 18 hour post.
They knew that.
I'd love to believe what you are saying is true, but I just can't bring myself to play a game requiring accurate inputs on mobile. It is a disaster.
I mean, it seems like you're directing a lot of ire at what the above commentator says is an extremely small (less than 1%) share of donated items.

Clearly having this sort of "mental block" is not an extremely common thing.
Heh.

I subscribe to the New Yorker. Every week I open it on Monday and I probably read about half of it by Sunday. I live in Europe, so I'm keenly aware of when the weekly issue comes out. (Due to timezone differences, it's typically not available in the app until Monday afternoon, so I start reading over afternoon coffee, not morning coffee.)

Every few weeks, within minutes or hours of a good 20-page article coming out--an article that will take me the week to digest--I see it posted on HN.

And of course, all the top commenters have strong, strong opinions on it.

Guess they're all just faster readers than I am.
I'm a bit late but I contacted the Austrian equivalent (Magenta Telekom) about the breach and was told that the news about the breach only refers exclusively to the American T-Mobile US and that no Magenta Telekom customers (formerly T-Mobile Austria and UPC Austria) were affected. So the German branch should also be safe I assume.
> At least with large centralised organisations their position is relatively clear,

Unfortunately I don't see that as being the case, especially the "relatively clear" part. My first job in my early youth (~20 years ago) was to professionally read newspapers, I did that for about 3 years to get me through school, and even as a professional newspaper reader I couldn't get the "position" for most of the newspapers. Of course, the political rags were pretty obvious, but the mainstream newspapers seemed objective and with no clear bias.

That has changed dramatically in the last few years (I had taken a break from reading the newspapers/magazines shortly before that). Now I open the Economist and I can see that almost every article on the likes of China or Russia has to include something, anything, that can be seen as negative, like "why don't are they like us, Westerners? Why don't they are ruled by a democracy? Because of that they are beneath us".

That goes the other way, too. Major negative stuff happening in the US and in most of Europe is not presented under its true colours, there's always an undertone of "we will get through this, because we are a democracy and the the will of the people will finally prevail".

And the Economist is on the soft side, just reading the headlines of the NYTimes makes it clear as day how biased they are, while the WashPo is owned by a literal oligarch (btw, why isn't anyone in the West up in arms about that?). The only mainstream newspaper that still retains a modicum of neutrality (or which manages to hide its biases pretty well) is the Financial Times.

Again, it took me many years to realise all of this, I'm afraid lots of people are still blind to the biases I exemplified above.
That's such a massive burden anymore, since so many services tie 2FA to phone numbers for some dumbass reason.

Whether the assumptions are flawed or not, the infrastructure necessary to track all the COVID cases and contacts is the same one that could be used to track all the Jews (substitute any minority group here).
I think marketingwise the vaccine will have a very, very hard time against PrEP, unless it can be proven that it's just as effective. And what about booster shots? It would be highly unethical to give someone an experimental vaccine INSTEAD of just PrEP. But if we don't do that, we can never find out how good the vaccine works. A dilemma.
Most security features are disabled by default (PAX, grsecurity, SELinux), and when distributions enable them, they are the first to go when admins encounter problems.

It is then a chicken-and-egg problem when software fails in secure environments, those failures are not reported/fixed upstream but circumvented, and consequently security cannot be enabled across the board because tools break.

I'd be curious if open source software would become more robust if by default the popular CI systems would enable features that do not cause any false positives but cause crashes in buggy software (memory randomization and read guards, compiler flags for detecting stack overflows).
Right, we just need to find the right balance between nuclear winter and global warming!

Not sure how you got from this that I was saying that there's no different between react and imba, or that it's not snappy/fast.

I was just saying that for the majority of LOB apps I'm working on, whether a table of 2000 entries renders in .2 seconds or .3 seconds has no meaningful impact on the client projects I'm working on. Even though it's a 50% slowdown, or 33% speed up, depending on how you measure, that speed difference has no impact on these projects. If we got up to 20000 entries, and we were hitting 2sec vs 3sec, that might be noticeable and something to address.
> Freelance developer != solopreneur

That's also saying you're not a solopreneur if you do contract / freelance work but the OP mentioned he has done and potentially continues to do long-term contract work.

Personally I write blog posts, make videos on YouTube, manage a newsletter, create and sell courses along with running a podcast and doing contract work.

I see myself as having tens of thousands of bosses. Sure I can mostly work when I want but I couldn't go off the grid for 2 months without warning. The moment you stop outputting content people will find someone else to get it from and platforms like Google and YouTube heavily favor constant posting to rank well in search results. Also, if you're selling courses that comes with doing continuous support and updates.

You have freedom in the sense you can control what you work on, but you're still in a position of having non-optional obligations to pay the bills.

> I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to choose the social environment of that internet over today's.

The social environment of that Internet was a product of access being limited to tech nerds, the wealthy, and college students (in the same way that HN is a more bearable debate environment than Facebook, not because of any moderation choices but because HN is a self-selecting population of people with mostly the same job, class, and general education level). This was never going to endure once Internet access became ubiquitous, as my other comment alluded to.
I can recommend the book Bitten by Kris Newby for another theory why it might not be in the interest of everyone to classify chronic Lyme as a disease. Especially for people who loved the reports about the lab leaks in China last year.

I built an Electron app Video Hub App and it's fast:

https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

Electron is overkill for a todo app that you want users to open/close many times per day. But if it's an app that's used for 90% while it's open and is used a few times per week, who cares if it takes 2 seconds to start?

I don't understand what everyone is moaning about with Electron. My app uses 130mb of RAM -- is that too much to ask for, for a dedicated video browser?

ps - here's also a file renamer I built with Electron: https://github.com/whyboris/Simplest-File-Renamer
This is not very readable. It seems to mix irony and sarcasm into a long and meandering informative piece.

The effect seems to be that this is a real slog of a read unless you share a bunch of preconceptions and assumptions with the author.
HIV transmission is partially related to attributes that are correlated with sexual orientation, the most prominent of which is the fact that the chance of transmission is much higher for anal sex than it is for vaginal sex.
What shocks me most with this story is that there is a vaccine (Lymerix), and it's pretty effective (76-92 percent after three injections) but apparently some anti-vax propaganda and a class-action lawsuit essentially removed it from the market. Based on a very rare side effect. Wtf? How can that be? Just tell people the risks of side effects, and if they are ok with that risk then the manufacturer is off the hook.

I'd totally take that shot. 59 cases out of 1.4 million is nothing, and even for those it's unclear how they actually were related to the shot.

Sadly, this indicates that the new shot could suffer the same fate. Give it to a million people, some will for sure have some issue, anti-vaxers come with conspiracy theories and convince a few to a class action, and there we go, another few decades without a shot. Gotta be fast this time before it's too late again.
Thanks, also to the other users who linked to sources.

All very disappointing.
Most won't be. HIV spreads by things that most in congress are unlikely to take part in. (sharing needles). While there are a lot of sex scandals in congress, the form of those activities is mostly low risk (low odds that the partner has HIV, and sex in a form that makes spread unlikely).

Of course the above is about odds. Individual exceptions do not prove me wrong.

That doesn't mean HIV isn't horrible. It also doesn't mean congress is right for the right reasons.
Having an accent increased my chances of success in US. I had an Italian strong accent. When my English got better, people thought I was from Mexico. People were not as fascinated to the accent and lost some interest. I think the problem is not necessarily the accent, but how open people in front of you are to new accents and how confident you are with yourself being a foreigner. I'm interested on how the product will develop!

No, you give it to 10k people, and give a placebo to another 10k, and let them live their lives, and after 5 years or so you see how many of each group have contracted HIV.
That's a bit misleading. Attraction doesn't change the risk but certain types of activities (anal sex) are significantly more prone to bleeding which drastically increases spread rate.
It is unreasonable to expect every spurious claim to be engaged with. They are endless and an awful lot of them are based on irrational fear and tribalism so they likely can't be persuaded no matter.

I am not pleased about the "both sides" rallying cry heard on every topic. It presumes that there are only two sides (recall that the objections will be endless) and it presumes they are both in earnest and have a reasoned predicate for their existence. This is not usually the case.

There is of course real, actual debate going on about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. These are based on research and data and there is no shouting. Then there's the "anti-vaxx" movement, rooted in party politics and paranoia. Screw that.
It probably will be a disaster. They will suspect collaborators everywhere and crack down on it hard. Ironically pretty similar strategy to the war on terror.
Hi Arthur - thanks for the questions.
Our checkout option is embeddable, but does require coding. We will be releasing payment links, which is essentially a landing page. Might be a good option for your use case.
As for the second question, there is no need to complete the Stripe integration after integrating Plug. Once you've integrated our API, you are able to use any payment provider we have integrated.
Enterprise companies see a lot of value in the platform actually! It allows them to have their own, provider-agnostic vault, and the increase in acceptance rates through retries and routing significantly impacts their topline. But completely agree that we consistently need to provide more value for all clientes...independent of size :)
You’ll find that the vast majority of the country is on board. This approach won’t last forever. Once the population is deemed sufficiently vaccinated (which is still supply-constrained) we will transition to “living with it.” Until then, zero tolerance is saving thousands of lives.
It would be great if Tesla could actually get speed limit detection right for starters, and then slow down the car in time for a new reduced speed limit. Had my MY for just a few days and found that inability pretty annoying. It detected a 40mph road as 60, and a 60mph freeway (which is only ever 60mph) as 70. I’ve had 5 year old Garmin GPS units that do better than that offline. I mentioned this in a local owner group and a bunch others chimed in saying they see this too.

So a kind of mass indoctrination to a militaristic concept of "patriotism", as I understand it? A concept that is not satisfied unless someone is invaded.

I've traveled for work to Ronkonkoma many times. The variety of cuisine is embarrassing. There is some good seafood but you have to travel relatively far. I grew up in the suburbs of another large city and you could get just about anything with only a short drive. The quality might not be best but at least there is always something new down the road. Next time I go there, I'm tempted to just stay in a hotel with a mini-kitchen and just shop at the grocery store to avoid eating at chain restaurants every night.

Idk. The body seems to adapt to radiation and some excess guardian genes may prevent malignant growth. Of course you cannot live through the gamma blast area, but surely the fallout zones may be manageable.

On the other hand chemistry is highly temperature sensitive and at some point proteins will just denature. Then again you cannot have rapid growth without water, as plants need evaporation to transport minerals and such from the soil into the plant. And what about phosphorus anyway? Soon most soils may be nothing but dirt. You cannot work around the phosphorus erosion. Once it's lost, it's lost. We better start recycling our feces and the dead now. You kinda need to harden all life, not just humans and crops.

Garden Earth.

The biggest cultural change for attaining "sustainability" is metaphoric, from extraction to management. Maybe somewhat ironically, proponents should go all Old Testament. Stewards of the Earth and so forth.

Many of our prior cultures had at least some form of this. I don't know when or why we stopped being so. Maybe due to the Enlightenment and then Industrialization.

I vividly remember reading René Descartes as a kid and being shocked by his violent language and metaphors. Stuff like "We must wrest Nature's secrets and make her submit to our will" (paraphrasing, from memory).

Thanks! I have been thinking about the pricing lately. There seems to be a demand for something like a starter plan with lower price and quota - not everyone needs 1500 images per month. However at lower price, there will be more support works to be done. Would you still use the product at lower price with lower support priority?
