Surprising how few people mention an email addressed to oneself, particularly for those concerned about getting their thoughts out quickly. (Maybe a side effect of how many people use Gmail and it being slow and clunky?) Not saying it's brilliant by any means, but conceptually, it makes a certain amount of sense. Imagine having an assistant you can trust completely, and you don't have to worry about hurting their feelings or ever needing to stop to think whether you need to phrase things in a certain way. You'd lean on them for stuff like this, right? Now, instead of an assistant, it's just you explaining things to you.

If you've always got your mail client open then speed bumps are minimal, and you get optional titles, automatically dated entries, and search for "free".

If you are counting a set, you necessarily are creating a map between the item of the set you are counting and the natural numbers, this is basics, how come that you can say such statement about the sizes of power set of natural number and natural number?, from where the notion of the cardinality comes if not from counting, and counting implies a map to a natural number, so the set of natural number is bigger than its selves?
And who picks the "dangerous idiots"? You? Your favorite authority?

Good. Rogan spouts a great deal of rubbish on topics he knows very little about. His interviews are good though, some of them.

Edit: Added “some of them”
It's a mistake for someone with a massive audience and their own platform to give that up.

There's a reason Spotify paid him one hundred million dollars (or whatever it was) - he thought he was getting the better side of that deal, but he was wrong.

What Spotify is doing is worse for users, but also worse for content creators in the long run. Giving up control of your distribution is a mistake.

Google "food deserts". Some people have 3 jobs and depression: not much time for going to the gym and eating healthy.

And do not be silly: healthy food is way more expensive per calory.

I will read the full thing later but I find it hard to believe when you see this

“Moreover, the current western lifestyle is characterized by high fat intake”

Which is stated as fact when it’s not even true. Fat has been stripped out of everything. Even milk has the fat taken out of it. Look anywhere and you will see “fat free”

And while I agree that a lot of what saladino says doesn’t have enough evidence to be totally sure, what everyone always ignores is when saladino points out that there isn’t enough evidence to be sure of the lipid hypothesis of heart disease. There has never been a randomized, interventional study that proves anything anyone says about meat, fat, heart disease and health. Not one proper study. Meanwhile, him and other people have zero CAC on a diet that should have killed him according to the current model. And there are many other people who have done this. I can’t dig into the “debunk” right now but that’s the value I take out of saladino
Yeah that's exactly what this 2009 model is, the nice thick keys that actually move quite some distance when you press them. So satisfying and tactile! Now when I try the latest MacBooks in an Apple Store it's like typing on nothing. Very strange feeling.
I wonder why such an old version of Redis was used in these benchmarks? Redis 3.0.7 was released back in January 2016. The current stable version as of this writing is 6.2.5.

EDIT: Additionally the version of memcached used in the benchmarks was from July of 2012 -- even older!
You should experience burning out and having your ashes ignited (because you can't afford to quit), too. It's sooo much fuuun!

Fuck life.
This REALLY resonated with me. I know I am burnt out but hearing someone describe everything I am feeling so precisely and completely is crazy.

I burnt out around the same time (november) and realized at about the same time too (february). Between those stages I started to phone it in at work. I’d skip rote meetings, cancel things I didn’t feel like doing, and just not do things that I was _supposed_ to do but thought would go unnoticed. Lo and behold, I received a raise and a promotion. I feel like I am slacking but maybe the burnout is a difference in perception, or it’s relative as we’re all burning out together.
Property laws in UP are a nightmare. There are all sorts of laws that allow land mafias to seize property at will. I recently had a family member who passed away (for real) but while going through the paperwork I reallized there are so many loopholes and opportunities for land mafia to essentially claim the land as their own that I cant imagine what itd be like of one of your family members claimed you're dead. Quite frankly I feel like there is no concept of land ownership there unless you are physically present to enforce it yourself.
HN How do you scale from 100-1000 B2B Customers
Hi Everyone, I am the founder of Crewscale.com a marketplace for global top 1% remote talent. We had an incredible last 18 months in remote adaption and clients. We recently crossed 100 clients and some of the early clients include 10+ unicorns and 8 YC companies. The Channels that worked so far for us are: 1. PPC 2. Word of Mouth/Referrals 3. Content

We are figuring out with the case studies and traction what marketing/sales strategy we should deploy to scale to the next 1000 customers and beyond. Any suggestions/ideas by the operator fellows would be really helpful.
For the naysayers: have you ever said "The Sun rises in the east?"?

I bet you have. From your frame of reference, the Sun revolves around the Earth.

I also bet if I asked you "which direction should be a rocket be launched into earth orbit to minimize fuel consumption" you'll have to stop and think about it.
who does?
Their security analysis is obviously incorrect.

"equivalent to a cryptographic hash"
"change... only if the image is substantially different"

Both are not true, cannot be true.
Nah, I think that's pretty normal here in America too. I've never met someone who's bought a replacement TV for a reason other than that their old one broke, besides ~10 years ago when everyone upgraded from CRTs to flat-screen HDTVs.

And you don't even need a public outcry about it. Just enough people to make a class-action worth it.
> Us, the unvaccinated, are happy to live freely and face any associated risks

So I assume you agree to not come running to the hospital when you get infected, taking away beds for other patients who shouldn't have to suffer because of your ignorance?
Another cool crowdsourced thing I discovered recently is SponsorBlock [1] which is an extension to automatically skip sponsored content in Youtube videos. Users contribute timings to the database that everyone else uses. It works remarkably well, any recent video with more than about 50,000 views is pretty much guaranteed to have timings submitted.

Lol.
The CDC did not say "don't buy masks because healthcare professionals need them". The CDC falsely claimed they were not effective.

This false narrative persists even today.

How many thousands died because they were told by an authority masks don't work?

Your point of view seems to suggest that the ends justify the means. I ask you how many deaths are an acceptable amount of collateral damage to protect the health system's access to masks. 1,000? 5,000? 50,000?
Except that all the existing evidence suggests your argument is backwards. Whilst Covid-19 vaccination doesn't provide full protection for either the vaccinated or those around them, it seems to be much more effective at protecting the person being vaccinated against severe symptoms, hospitalization and death than it does at stopping them catching and spreading the virus to others. As far as I can tell, literally the only reason vaccination is primarily framed as a way of protecting others is because that framing fits better into left-wing politics; it has nothing to do with the actual evidence.
I recall getting a shipment of about 50 CDs simply by asking for some online. I handed them out to just about anyone, mostly peers at school, however I remember having some left over and tossing some out during Halloween amongst some candy to some young kids too. I like to think at least a few of them got used and hopefully introduced a couple to a lifelong addiction to Linux.

Those dark, dark hours/days/weeks with Xorg really made me into the hacker I am today. If the forums weren't there, read the docs, if the docs weren't helpful you could read the source. Not being stonewalled while discovering how to work with one's computer is a wonderful experience.

Happy Birthday to such a wonderful OS!
You're Nintendo, you have all the original specs, you can literally make an exact clone on an FPGA (or whatever's cheapest).

I don't disagree that the market is small, though. But Nintendo does have a chronic problem of under-manufacturing desirable hardware. Like, if you want a SNES Classic (good emulator, fantastic controllers), you'll have to pay 2-3x the original price. Nintendo could do another run of them every year for basically no effort, and they just...don't.
I remember my first year of Uni having to go to the lab just to find a Sun work station (running Red Hat) so I could do my comp sci assignments and hope that there was one available otherwise I'd have to make the trek to the building again. During the winter months this trek was arduous.

It was so great in my 2nd year after learned about Ubuntu, figuring out how to install it on my Windows PC and being able to dual boot and then being able to do my assignments by connecting via SSH. Was able to do my assignments quicker and from the comfort of my rented basement (far away from campus).

And it was even better to just be able to experiment on my own laptop and not worry about screwing things up on the campus workstation.

There's so much good stuff available to make learning programming quicker but I look fondly on those early '2000 years because it makes me appreciate how far Linux and FOSS has come along.
> A system that has users reporting content themselves relies on the users acting to incriminate other people, and the criminals can simply improve their privacy by hiding the content out of public view.

Isn't this in itself a win for reducing distribution of CSAM? The content is already out of public view. You can't just go to some clear web website and find CSAM unless you're incredibly unlucky and all legal entities have systems in place to report it if it does end up on there. Companies like pornhub have fairly recently created systems to reduce the chance of CSAM ending up on their platform by requiring verification. There's certainly nothing stopping most CSAM from being distributed encrypted through official or illicit channels and the sad reality is there probably is significantly more that is than isn't.

Law enforcement has a big task on their hands here and I can empathize with how difficult it can be but you cannot sacrifice an entire population's rights to catch the relatively few bad actors. This erosion of rights was justified after 9/11 to implement the PATRIOT Act and people are trying to use CSAM as a justification to do so now. It's not good.

> I'm honestly not sure that it's possible for any company to implement true E2EE given the current state of the law. It sounds like a tradeoff had to be made between privacy and the ability for the law to be upheld.

There's already companies that do offer E2EE encryption and there is no law requirements to scan for CSAM in the US. I'll concede the point that Google, Microsoft, and Apple are going to be under much more scrutiny of law enforcement and the government than a small privacy focused cloud storage provider, but the point stands that there is no legal reason they must implement this.
Some VPN providers, like Mullvad, offer the option of port-forwarding.

I'm not sure if it would work for torrenting but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.
> We don't have access to unbounded quantities, so any discussion of them is necessarily going to be more abstract than the notions we're used to dealing with.

I've always thought of infinite as very concrete unbounded processes, rather than quantities (but then, I'm a computer scientist, not a mathematician).

You cannot count the size of an infinite set because you can never stop counting; the process goes on and on. So the way to compare infinities is to map things between them.

If you can map all elements from the first infinite to the second, but not the other way around, the second is larger than the first. It makes sense as to define this process as the way to compare sizes, since actually counting all their items is ruled out.

"Almost all" elements of an infinite set could be defined similarly, if for each item without a particular property you can create a limitless variety of different items with it.
Matrix or death.
Leaked document on Amazon compensation ranges with the highest being $715k
It's probably true that the vast majority of people don't have an awareness of the impact and/or have little care but that doesn't make the issues unsubstantial.
They can cherry-pick the easiest routes. Discussing the entire "contiguous USA" is pointless.
You have a lemon and should've thrown it under a bus a long time ago.
I actually wouldn't be surprised to find that most labor markets are bi-modal (but certainly not all). Which is why I used median wage and not average wage, because the median is very likely to grab the common tradespersons compensation experience whereas the average is likely to be skewed high by the upper distribution group.
> Joe rogan has two kinds of guests: experts/scientists and show biz people. The former are why I watch the podcast.

Many of us have tried to listen to Joe Rogan for the former category. When I catch an interview with someone I already know and respect (e.g. John Carmack), it's not bad.

But Rogan is also notorious for bringing on over-confident "experts" who present their pet theories as done deal research. Saladino is a perfect example of this over-confidence. Citing papers and having a medical degree doesn't automatically make someone infallible or even correct.

> And he’s an MD.

Saladino has a medical degree, but did you know he's a psychiatrist? Perhaps a good degree to have for manipulating people, but I prefer to get my nutrition research from nutrition researchers, not psychiatrists who have webstores selling $60 supplements.

Saladino profits by building his brand: He sells books. He sells coaching. He sells extremely overpriced supplements. He has a branded web page with his Joe Rogan interview as the background and a "Join my Tribe" link at the top.

Saladino is a salesperson who is pitching you on his theories to sell you products and extract money from you. Joe Rogan is unqualified to push back on it, so he gives these people a huge audience with which to push their agendas.

And it works! Here you are, completely convinced that everything he said is true and accurate, while it's trivially easy to find fact checkers showing how he made incorrect claims all through that podcast ( https://www.biolayne.com/articles/research/paul-saladino-on-... ).

That is the problem with Joe Rogan's podcast.
Fridman is slowly going down the same route with more and more comedians and nutritionists and ufo people on his channel. I wish he just had sticked to interview scientists because nowadays I probably archive 2/3 of his episodes.
Where does the concept of diminishing marginal returns come in you think?

There’s got to be a point where we say, it’s “good enough” to not warrant exposure to 50 Billion copies of mRNA.
I wonder if after being vaccinated it might be beneficial to intentionally get infected with the actual virus?

The downside is of course the risk of severe illness and having to quarantine until the virus is cleared, but the upside is that the resulting natural immunity might be effective against a possible future vaccine escaping variant.
Pretty sure this is sarcasm, as in, the lies are so transparent they're humorous, and this was on purpose.

For those who didn't notice, nuclear plants have, in fact, melted down, more than once. Biosafety level 4 labs have, in fact, had leaks of pathogens before, more than once. An agent AI will tend to develop a survival instinct by default, even if we don't give it one, because it is a convergent instrumental goal. Thus, it would be motivated to not simply let you yank it, would fight you if you tried, and may even take preemptive precautions.
>But Apple has to replace the batteries and pay for it under their warranties, not you.

Apple operate the 1 year MacBook warranty policy across the world with only specific countries that they abide by the law of 3 years warranty. However if you dont mention it, as in UK, they will still charge you for it.
It's all competition for monopoly. No one "owned" podcasting, like itunes own streaming music and youtube own free-to-air TV. Spotify is trying to be the one that owns it.

They bought exclusivity to as many top podcasts as they could in order to start centralizing podcasting on their platform. Eventually enough momentum shifts, and all the other podcasters have to go where users go, spotify. They may or may not succeed. Either way, it's not just "buying premium content." It's an attempt to seed a monopoly. I doubt that what they spent is even theoretically justifiable as a self contained business proposition.

The whole thing is quite sad. Podcasts are/were one the the free digital medias. No mediation. Standard protocol. The client is just a client. No one tells you what to say, or controls who listens to what. I wish FB and youtube were that.

We the geeks have done a terrible job of defining and promoting digital freedom. Failed to find a way that doesn't sound like a paranoid eff rant. I don't think Joe really understood that RSS is a Free (as in freedom) media, perhaps the last. He probably thought about it as Youtube-vs-Spotify, with Apple and other RSS clients being more of the same.
Thanks so much.
Yes being able to print and deliver is part of our future plans.
Thanks again

Belarusian dictator pwned by “cyber-partisans”
I should note, I was not using the YouTube app, I was using the Safari browser on my iPhone all these years. To me, it seemed like a buffering problem, even at 360p. For whatever reason, Spotify loads immediately (or at worst, within five seconds) and gives me the best experience. Thanks for the tip about NewPipe.
Moments of Doubt
> if everybody just took the vaccine the virus would be gone within insert timespan

No, the expectation is that a successful vaccination campaign will end the pandemic, by making the burden on healthcare systems manageable. Nobody serious thinks we can eradicate the virus like we did with smallpox. It will always be with us, causing infection.

This is how all vaccines work, with the exception of HPV and possibly measles. Vaccines are not expected to provide sterilizing immunity, and they don't need to as long as they prevent serious disease due to the infection.

Within the field of immunology this is common knowledge, and I wish the CDC would message it more clearly.
If it's literally food on the table at risk, your finances are stretched way too thin and you should solve that separately. And living on the edge like this is probably a big contributor to burnout/stress.

But to try to answer your question: I've wondered if going to work for a slow, boring company would help. Like a bank or just a local place that needs more I.T. type of help than amazing startup code. I tend to doubt this would work though.

Maybe work for a non-profit with a mission that aligns with your values? This is where I would lean.
Infinitesimals are just a different aspect of mathematical infinity.

This is the magic that makes calculus work (from a formal standpoint).
Sometimes the point of a talkshow is to get the guest to do the majority of the talking. Other talk shows take the opposite approach and the guest is just a vehicle to let the host pontificate. Neither is superior.
When I was in my 20s I feel like I bounced back from burnout in about 6 weeks. At 36 it feels like it's taking quite a bit longer than that. The pandemic certainly hasn't helped.
The thing of Joe Rogan shouting at the primatologist about the "new" chimpanzee is genuinely hilarious

> If you make it easier to report, more people will do it.

The law isn't going to rely on people that might or might not report CSAM if they see it. Average users have no obligation to report CSAM, unlike the law and the companies that store user data. If the law finds CSAM themselves, they will always report it, and in their eyes that only improves the chances of a successful conviction.

> My right to privacy is not an infringement of your rights so this argument has no bearing in reality.

The law would argue that a right to privacy that includes the ability to store CSAM privately is infringing on the rights of others, because allowing CSAM to be consumed and distributed creates a market that incentivizes the further abuse of children. CSAM cannot be produced without CSA taking place, which makes it a part of that cycle.

> There is no technical reason that this is required to enable E2EE for iCloud, it's purely speculation as to why Apple would roll this surveillance tool out, as a compromise to having a fully encrypted system.

That is Apple's own fault for failing to precisely explain their reasoning for designing the system the way they did, and the confusion was entirely preventable.
The CSAM scanning system Apple describes prevents[0] the sort of abuse that has historically been used as as argument against convenient strong encryption. By casting a very specific net for the most egregious abuse, they defuse the strongest political argument against E2EE while remaining compatible with a strong E2EE system. Read the docs upthread - they go to lengths to cryptographically enforce the topline privacy guarantees. Client side scanning of iCloud-destined photos is a net-zero change, since they’re already doing this server side. Scanning plus future E2EE is a strict improvement in privacy for iCloud users.

If you're concerned about ways Apple might access on-device contents in the future ... there's myriad ways for your OS vendor to circumvent the privacy protections offered by your OS ...

[0] or is at least as comprehensive a mitigation as possible on systems with access to cleartext
I suspect, given the way things are going in even the most highly vaccinated countries, everyone will end up being exposed eventually now.
> I don’t know if the price increases will keep happening at the same historical rates.

Although you're not wrong, and crashes absolutely happen, I feel like I have been hearing that for at least 30 years now.

Just when it seems like things can't continue, the market always seems to find a way to support the higher prices.

For example:
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/what-is-the-40-year...

It's probably only a matter of time until the 40 is the new 30 year loan for everyone...
Similar situation here. With full honesty, if they worked me 18hr/day, I'd just have to put up with it until vesting is complete.

Thankfully, most public companies don't seem to have management that will look at your vesting schedule and try to abuse you maximally. I'm really not sure why, they probably should be doing that.
