I think the controversy here lies in assuming that "the economy" == society and that, therefore, anything that is "bad for the economy" is also bad for society.

I'm seeing this "battle" play out now wrt DAO's that incorporate vs DAO's that do not, both are discussing things relating to how to operate online and in the "meatspace" as well as allocate/distribute resources in both.

I'm finding the conversation and decisions made by DAO's that do not incorporate far more interesting: talks from (with crypto) co-opting (via funding) local gangs around the world and "off grid" (still connected to the grid to bypass varying compliance related issues wrt local regs, but usage of such will as minimal) multi-purpose bulidings to funding local (bio)hacker spaces on top of the usual funding/building DeFi things.

Replying with throwaway because this is a contentious topic, but the issue with the approach to consent in English speaking countries isn't as nuanced as it should be. Most people would agree that a 13 year old having sex with an adult is unacceptable, however, maturity is different when someone is closer to 18 (17 for example) and isn't that different from a prison guard who might be 22. While the majority of cases in the article might involve guards well past 18, we don't know that for sure. Also, while in theory the sex of the victim shouldn't matter, especially in the society we live in today it certainly does.
I'm wondering about this for a long time and hope if any experts can explain this: is there any difference in append-only & small-sized log writing vs sequentially filling an SSD/USB flash drive/SD cards?

I guess there are significant differences due to flash wear-leveling and write-amplification but I'm not sure. What I know so far is that there's difference in wear-leveling because apparently cheap USB flash drives/SD cards might not do global wear-leveling but rather only limited local wear-leveling. This shouldn't be a problem for append-only logging because it's not writing to the same block repeatedly.

However for write-amplification I'm a bit confused. Does append-only logging to an existing NAND block require reprogramming as well? If so, small appends will leave to very large ratio of write-amplification and significantly shorten the NAND life time, right?

This is particularly important for devices like Raspberry Pi which rely on USB flash drives/SD cards for logging.

> Somehow, the capital class, and the intellectual class (media) heavily discount it.

For the capital class, IBGYBG by the time the wheels of sustainability of the situation fall off the cart, and in their mind they'll "simply" switch to the new dominant player; I believe they vastly underestimate switching costs and fungibility of their capital in China. For the media, they say what the capital class pays them to say.
I personally would want both options. I use mylio with many similar features and it has e2ee but you manage your own space / cloud and your still paying a monthly fee.

For the non nerd friends, managing your own cloud space is mostly a non starter although. The best choice is cloud storage managed by the provider as an option, along with the self hosted option.

You don’t. You prevent people from getting access to the device in the first place. There are no countries where people already have iPhone 13s. A country that doesn’t want them, could certainly ban their import.

Watching this adult, who I grew up watching on TV when I lived in the Dallas area, be able to openly talk about his experience and show emotion about it is what finally allowed me to start dealing with what happened to me.
Thanks for pointing it out. The fact that it’s “uncool” to do this also points out that there are a lot of ways that men are oppressed by gender stereotypes and the victim-perpetrator narratives that our society has barely begun to reckon with.

I think you're super-naive if you think import bans on these devices work in practice, sorry. They're easily concealable.

I like this idea at first pass! I think augmenting reality with a tap into the digital could be a nice new dimension to how we look at the world.

I do however think that giving tech companies + ad companies the ability to tap into this is risky. As a result, rather than have a call-to-arms to invest more in such tech, maybe it's better to just start the conversation on how we can interact with the digital world safely.

...Or maybe which digital worlds are safe to connect to? :thinking_face:

If we want to be pedantic, I was using the median - family - income estimate from HUD, which includes Puerto Rico and extrapolates off of the 2018 ACS. The Census Bureau, which lags by a year or so, puts the figure at $86K.
The studies done were small and of low quality. Further the Elgazzar study which showed the most positive outlook was retracted for fraud and plagiarism.
I didn't see their comment making any "right wing" statement. Maybe it is a viewpoint that correlates with right wing politics, but I think that's pretty off topic here, and we're supposed to "reply to the best possible interpretation of what's said" on HN. We should avoid sinking in to the political tribalism that puts every issue on a left vs. right axis.
I don't think it's a very useful statement to say "women get away with too much" simply because of how general and broad it is, which would have been my complaint, if I thought it was worth engaging on.
That's called "flange squeal". Yes, it can be ear-shatteringly loud.

But it mostly (totally?) happens on very tight curves. It shouldn't happen much or at all on gentler curves.

(Of course, this is circular, because I'm kind of defining "gentler" and "tight" based on whether they cause flange squeal. Still, there's a point - there is something like a threshold of curve tightness where flange squeal becomes much more probable.)
Thanks for the info! I stand corrected.
Yeah my claim was too strong to defend here so I removed it. I agree with your overall assessment.

Your project is quite impressive. And welcome to the world of computer graphics!

I'd consider taking inspiration from the following sources:

1. GUI toolkits like QT QML [1] or Android [2]. These typically build a hierarchical tree of different components (eg: start with a root window, which contains panes, which in turn contain text and buttons). Each component may contain different properties (eg: font, color), and properties may be inherited from the parent component.

Advantages:

+ preserves semantics of component properties and how they are linked to each other (eg: the caption is below the image)

Disadvantages:

- complexity: building a layout/constraint engine can be difficult, or alternatively you can use absolute positioning with relative offsets which can be tedious to use (in this case the layer-based approach below might make more sense).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML

[2] https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layo...

2. Graphical editor programs like Gimp or Photoshop, or Adobe Flash.

These build up a screen as a collection of vertically stacked layers or assets (eg: graphics, text, etc) with attached properties and optionally bounding boxes. Higher layers/assets occlude the content of the layers below them, so you would need to implement some kind of visibility logic.

Advantages:

+ simplicity

+ you can use identifiers for assets, and therefore don't need to perform pixel-by-pixel comparisons.

Disadvantages:

- may lose some information about how different components are related to each other

Also, rather than a raster pixel-based representation, it might make sense to use a vector representation internally [3]. The most popular vector representation is SVG. The full spec is very verbose, so you probably only want to implement a small subset of it. This would permit you to specify properties like line thickness, color, striped/dotted patterns. At render time, you could convert the (proportional) fonts to vectors as well for consistency, and then rasterize the entire scene when rendering to a display surface. But for testing, it would be better to use the scene graph / vector format which is easier for users to reason about.

There are no such "legitimate concerns" (or legitimate arguments for that matter). You trying to lump people that are delusional, uneducated, fear-mongering deniers in with rational people that evaluate reality on its own merits is the "very dishonest" part.

People like Martin Fowler or Robert Martin seem to be more famous for the books that they write about software instead of being famous for the software that they write. I don't think it should be possible for somebody to become an authority on software design without them showing their designs to the world. If they work exclusively on proprietary software, then they should provide some other kind of proof that the recommendations that they make are beneficial and demonstrate how helpful they are. E.g. anonymous metrics from their client pool, detailed analyses of various OSS projects, etc.

When e.g. John Carmack talks about a technical topic there's a very long and very public record of the kind of experience that he has. It's reasonable to trust that they are correct, although one should still verify before betting their project/company/career on that piece of advice.
Nobody is talking about forcing me to buy a car.
The footnote about Sapir-Whorf slightly misses the point, I think: I found learning Haskell useful because it made it impossible to write programs the way I was used to on Python. So, I _had_ to learn to think in the paradigm it uses. I’ve mostly written Java and JS/TS for pay, but I now have experience with a whole new way of designing programs that is relatively useful.
> The US was to be a republic with only a single part of the new federal government democratically elected

Just because the president is elected indirectly through electors, and Senators were elected through States, doesn't mean they were any less "democratically elected" than Representatives. You could equally say that the House of Representatives is undemocratic because democracy would require all laws to be approved by referendum.

Also, in case anyone still thinks that representative democracy is antithetical to the goal of a republic, and goes against the wishes of the Founding Fathers, they should consider Hamilton's words: "But a representative democracy, where the right of election is well secured and regulated & the exercise of the legislative, executive and judiciary authorities, is vested in select persons, chosen really and not nominally by the people, will in my opinion be most likely to be happy, regular and durable."

Looks cool! I like the simple implementation.

From a website vistor's perspective: I think an interesting direction would be to offer an asynchronous option (podcast?) for all converted content on a site. I think one reason people want to listen to something rather read is because of the additional freedom that you get when you don't have to pay attention to a screen - eg, you could be walking instead.

That said, I'm not sure what your sell to website owners is. "Engagement" is kind of a vague benefit, why would they want to use this service? What problem is it solving? It's not clear from your landing page why anyone would bother to use this - which (just my opinion) is the #1 problem you need to solve.

I made something similar (https://blogreader.com.au) a while back from the other side - where website readers can choose which blogs they want to listen to. There's also something similar to my site offered by Pocket for free (although I don't like their AI voice very much personally).
