Super agree. I still buy digital music mostly because I buy classical recordings that I think are worth listening over my life time.

I find classical music even more enjoyable if you have the sheet music to follow along.
I don't think its a concern. Most people want to work, when that work is a source of satisfaction or pride in their lives.
> A good photo looks interesting or has something interesting in it or comes with some interesting context.

To my eye, these photos have all three of those things.

You don't have to like them yourself, but it seems a bit much to imply that they are objectively without value as art.
Why? Hard to take a recommendation with zero context.
Nope. "Is it any wonder that X, given Y?" says nothing about chronology. "Is it any wonder that she wanted to divorce him, given that he killed her?" would be an oxymoron under your erroneous reasoning; with your logic she would have to be dead before she could want a divorce. To reasonable people, the murder was obviously just the culmination of a long chain of events.
>"“While we cannot entirely rule out the effects of under-reporting,” the authors wrote, “our results show that crime complaints decreased, rather than increased, during a slowdown in proactive policing, contrary to deterrence theory.”"

>"Each week during the slowdown saw civilians report an estimated 43 fewer felony assaults, 40 fewer burglaries and 40 fewer acts of grand larceny. And this slight suppression of major crime rates actually continued for seven to 14 weeks after those drops in proactive policing — which led the researchers to estimate that overall, the slowdown resulted in about 2,100 fewer major-crimes complaints."

The fact that assaults, robberies, and burglaries aren't being reported would seem to indicate that people just weren't bothering to contact the police, because they knew the police would not help. Murder, rape, and (hospital-reported) shooting rates dropping would be more indicative that less policing would reduce crime.
I tried so many times to get into it, but the barrier of entry is really high I find. Learning a number of shortcuts and keyboard flows just to take notes is not a very good idea IMO.
I'm curious, why did the author read only on three sections for each file? is related on how CRC32 works?

We still get together 2-3 times per year. So we don't use texting in lieu of physically meeting, we use it in lieu of calling. If we are in the mood to actually talk to one another then we'll use FaceTime.
splitting knowledge across locations makes it less manageable, not more in my experience.
Not having sea supremacy would mean the overseas countries wouldn’t stand a chance preventing the USSR from taking over Western Europe, but I don’t see how having it counts for much as a defense against a soviet occupation of Europe.

I also think, but can’t find hard numbers, that the USSR had more soldiers than the other allies combined (some strategists thought the allies would need the remains of the German army to help fight the Russians, if it were to come to that)

What they may not have had enough was technology. The USA provide them with lots of material (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease)

I think there is some truth in saying World War Two in Europe was won with American materiel and Russian blood.

That could have been their weak point. The western powers might have been able to hold of the larger USSR army by gaining air superiority. I’m not sure of that, though, as the time the USSR really needed US tech to survive was gone in 1945.
The only major crime statistic that I’ll trust is the murder rate. It’s the only one that can’t be faked. Petty crime goes unreported. Arrest and conviction rates can be gamed. But you can’t hide people dying.
I have a not dissimilar background and what you describe is exactly what caused me to throw up my hands and leave the tech world. It's just not worth the BS.

After 12+ months of suffering, melatonin with high dose nicotinic acid totally cured my long covid.
Yeah. Nevermind multimillion dollar startups, I can't even start a PC case manufacturing business in Romania, where all the materials and labour are cheaper but there are no investors.

You can't even crowdfund via Kickstarter for example. But it's totally fine if you use a German or British company and do everything in Romania (or China).

What the fuck.
AOL is the reason I got broadband. I tried to cancel and they gave me 6 free months of high-speed to stay with them, with a recurring rate that was $10 more than the provider who delivered the high-speed to my house.

After the 6 months was up, I cancelled AOL and stayed with the provider.
Same here. If you use google calendar or Apple cal it often works fine.
There was plenty of that nonsense back in the day, too. And plenty of novice users who just cared about owning the "libs", or making fun of Bush. We were just a lot better about putting this stuff in the right perspective.
Was Something Wrong with Beethoven’s Metronome? [pdf]
Recently we hired a consultant for our infrastructure.
I wrote the code for that infrastructure using best practices I learnt from books, workshops etc.

While some ppl from my team have huge issues understanding it, the consultant read it ONCE and knew everything. He was simply a good dev that had a pleasure working for other big shops that wrote the books I read and lead those workshops I attended to.

So its like always a matter of „Do I hire cheap HR resource or an expert?” question.

Nothing more, nothing less. The issue with writing smart code is that there is not a lot of smart devs. Thats why we always derotate to lowest denominator.
Many people are telling you that these are all fake show offs, but here are the facts:

1. We had one of the longest bull runs in stock market history. Even a modest investment in something like Facebook at it’s initial price of $15 dollars around 2009 would have netted you hundreds of thousands by now.

2. The pandemic dip was an insane buying opportunity. If you just parked some money in the SPY around the lockdowns you would have doubled your money (I’m talking in just one year, not 10 years).

3. Tech industry just exploded, the whole world relies on it. The jobs and opportunities just amassed.

4. The financial collapse pretty much made it so anyone and their mother could get a home mortgage loan with literally no interest.

So yeah, it did really happen for a lot of people. If anything, what you are witnessing now could be the tail end.

But, to remain optimistic, if we look at things purely based on eye balling numbers, the world population that is not totally connected into the Internet, and have not even begun American-level consumerism is still a pretty high number. We haven’t actually gotten everyone to buy apps, and sit around and watch Netflix. Just based on that fact alone you can somewhat infer that there’s way more growth ahead.
Analyzing China's PIPL and How It Compares to the EU's GDPR
Speculating here, but liability, non-alignment of privacy policies, change of focus for team. Many reasons.
Not here to make you believe.

But it is easy to prove and I got called for Jury 2 times too.

It was strange and I got surprised, talked to a friend that said it was not possible.
Then I show him the papers and he got more surprised.

I did lookup the laws and saw that casting a vote while not being a citizen was a crime then as good guest I follow the law and did nothing with that.

Being a good guest is a tenet to me.

For me it was strange because in my country you can only vote in person, you have to vote at sunday/holiday and that is it. If a second turn is needed another day.

No mail, no extra days.

I remember this crazy feeling : "whooa they vote by MAIL! Like.. The post service works...amazing"

same thing with paying bills by mail : "Whoa, you put the check on envelope and send it? nobody steal it? serious? there is a person there that gets the check?"

And that was the year the MJ became medicinal and CO flipped.

Conspiracy theorists will be crazy.

And I did not request anything that was the most crazy thing.
I don’t understand why there is such an outrage about this. I bet most of the HN crowd supports vaccine requirements to even buy groceries, always using the argument that is to protect everyone. Well the Chinese gov has determined that people being addicted to games is a threat to their society as a whole so they decided to restrict them. I’m sure you could even get some doctors to do publish some papers about how the games are really affecting these kids, that way you have the “Science” blessing.

Would any government risk to antagonize its future voters like this? I imagine teenagers hit by such regulations would remember who made these decisions and vote appropriately.
Nigerians may not be as aware of what's available in the US. OP wants the intersection - people who know both.

Also, not everyone here is "associated with Silicon Valley". Many are, but some are not.
> then again vodka is why Crimea was Ukrainian post-USSR.

And for about half of the USSR's existence before it collapsed... Possibly more of it than it was Russian?
The article does say the study attempted to control for those variables, yeah.

While I tend to agree more with your answers than edrxty baseless claims about spread spectrum and unrealistic bandwidth negotiation (doesn't work with hidden nodes), it's important to note that there are alternative models to the ham spectrum management model. Namely:

ISM short range device (SRD) - the rules are very simple: transmit anything you want, no more than xxx watts, tx duty cycle no more than 1%. IMHO, this can be scaled to ham frequencies (ex: 0.01% duty cycle).

ISM 2.4 GHz - the rules are (basically) transmit only if no other signal is detected above threshold (-75dBm). Exponential back off otherwise. This is also called the Aloha model. This model also works most of the time, although its applicability to HF propagation is unclear.
There will always be an Eternal September in any mass communications system that is open to the public.

Disneyland has been operating for 70 something years and there are still thousands if not millions of first timers arriving every year.
Yes and no.

The regional trains need to be expanded first: the paris transit network is star-shaped, and it's very difficult to navigate around Paris without going through the center of the star. This immediately overcrowds the existing lines, and then trains are late/you wait a lot (people fainting when it's too hot, massive queues because too many people, etc) . There's currently a massive project going on ('le grand paris', aka 'greater paris') which is supposed to achieve this. I haven't followed it very closely though.

Then, I agree with you : the trains must be reliable. However, this can't be achieved unless some kind of rerouting happens first.

It's worth noting that the speed limits apply to Paris only, which is absolutely tiny (about 100 sq km). In many (most?) cases, it's already more efficient to go to Paris by train than by car, even if not very reliable, and within Paris you have the metro. Outside of Paris, the regional trains are not very good (not dense enough), but the speed limit point doesn't apply.

Both authors are political scientists who are highly unlikely to have a command of econometrics. I am not sure if they took into account the panel nature of the data and in those circumstances where authors focus solely on either the cross-section or the time-series nature of the process, it is not uncommon for "results" to be nonsense.
> I know a lot of folks in their 70's using MyChart.

"I know a lot" != "all" or perhaps even "most".

It's a good thing to keep in mind that whatever computer-heavy solution that works for you may not work at all for many people.
Hacked seems like a stretch. Sounds like they've just encoded the information raw in the QR code, and someone got a picture of it?
And JMAP, which makes an excellent foundation for client development, web and otherwise. Cyrus implements the calendaring and contacts drafts, counterparts to CalDAV and CardDAV. (See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/active/#jmap for the active drafts. JMAP working group minutes from IETF-111 last month say of jmap-calendars, “hopefully finalise by end of the year” <https://tools.ietf.org/wg/jmap/minutes>. JSCalendar, which it also depends on, was published last month as RFC 8984.)

Fastmail’s web app—mail, calendar, contacts and everything else—is built on JMAP, though it doesn’t yet support offline synchronisation which JMAP is well designed to support. (Fundamentally, JMAP is an object synchronisation protocol, not an email protocol or anything like that.)
Because in the US a large number of us value the freedom to live our lives as we choose. Given that a policy like this one effectively allows the government to intervene in an activity that does not harm others (only oneself) it stands that we in the US view it as appalling.

Other societies may look at it differently and feel ok delegating decisions about how their lives should be lived to their government. I, for one, would never be OK with that.
The issue is PFOF is used by Robinhood to subsidize unsophisticated investors trading more to their own financial detriment.

It’s really no different then incentives and financial mechanisms casinos use to get folks in the door. Or, as the saying goes, “if you don’t know who is the sucker at the poker table, it’s you.”
The issue is that the team/person doing the implementation has to "justify" their architecture to someone who won't be themselves working on the implementation. Or just in general separating "architecture" and "implementation" into separate tasks done by separate teams. The people in the best position to weigh the relevant tradeoffs and design the best architecture are the people who have the most domain knowledge of the problem being solved and who will ultimately be on the hook for the system when it is production.
The leader seemed to have a history of such activism according to the article i read and there was an election for that leader.

It's not just limiting to three hours a week, but to three particular hours a week. Feels even more Draconian to me.
Yes you can, just rule it a suicide or accident. I've seen a likely murder in mountain view misclassified as a diabetes-related accidental drowning.
Are you suggesting rape and murder have the same causes as assaults and burglaries? The article describes the claim that "proactive policing" creates pressures that would lead to (among other issues) assaults and robberies. Why would removing those pressures reduce the frequency of rape?
Show HN: I collected 1700 YouTube links to relive 20 years of men's Grand Slams
As a tennis enthusiast who only recently got interested in the TV pro tour competitions, I wanted to catch up on the historic efforts of the Big 3 (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) in the last two decades of Grand Slams. Instead of manually searching on YouTube for each match, with high spoilers risks and possible poor results to navigate through, I thought: why not automatize the whole thing? A weekend of Python later, here I am.

Although it's nothing fancy, I'm sharing the outcome in case any other tennis enthusiasts might find it useful. One interesting experience for me was filtering the noise across the available Youtube videos. For example, I discovered a whole genre of (worthless to this project) videos of video-game matches with identical titles to legit videos of past matches. So I started blacklisting channels when coming across poorly rated videos, but then some videos of official channels were being blacklisted, so had to introduce whitelisting as well... For minimizing spoilers, I'm redacting titles and removing players names, but then aliases (e.g. Rafa) or channel names (e.g. RogerTV or Djoker Nole) might give it away, something to be improved upon.

In any case, hope you like it, and feel free to provide feedback to make this collection more useful!
This would be useful, especially for filtering out authors in multi-author feeds (e.g., Volokh).
>>PFOF tightens the spreads and increases speed of execution.

> PFOF does not tighten "lit" spreads.

But that's fine right? This whole debate is about whether retail traders are being benefiting or losing (on net) from this. For the retail trader, the price improvement they get via PFOF is probably much better than the slightly better spreads they'll get on lit exchanges if PFOF was banned.
Money transfer and check deposits.

I always get some mail from Nigeria asking for help with that.

In US this is solved and you can even deposit at the groceries shop.
> You can't even crowdfund via Kickstarter for example

Why not?
Well, the US did kinda oops away a million Muslims in response to 9/11, and over a half-million Americans in lack of response to COVID19. And we do have that whole gitmo thing. Plus, we had the whole slavery bit we keep forgetting about. I could list this stuff for a while, but that's besides the point.

It's not the current state that matters, but possible future outcome.

We're both hill-climbing trying to improve systems from an imperfect present. The US is higher up its hill than China right now, but it's not clear that China won't pass the US in a few decades. Or the US will race ahead. Or how other systems will fare.

It's also not clear how those will change as the world itself evolves.

I like having a diversity of political and economic systems, even is some are better than others. I also like a diversity of cultures, even if there are ones I strongly disagree with.

I wanted to say the opposite. Obviously, the author made a lot of unconventional design decisions, but they were all very well executed, and felt intuitive for me. For example, there were a couple of places where the graphs used shapes instead of just bars, but I don't think it ever hurt readability, to speak of.
I found the Radicale documentation [1] sufficient for setup, and it really hasn't needed much in the way of maintenance. I also enabled the awesome Git integration so that every client-side contact/vCard change becomes a server-side git commit to my contacts repo. Now my birthday greeting script can just "git pull" to get the latest contact data.

I'm guessing it's because the key has to be present for a relay (not replay) attack, so it's analogous to the way "card present" shifts some of the liability in payment card fraud? Pretty wild that the authorized user should know to protect against key fob relays though.

Fun fact: they usually go to sleep (i.e., way more battery life) based on an accelerometer detecting no motion, because legitimate use would always be hand-held. To take advantage, put it on a table or hook (but not too close to your front door, perhaps) instead of keeping it in your pocket while home.
Yes you can do modifications. (simple and not so simple!). For encapsulation you may want to look into lightweight tunnels. General transformation also often happens in the tc subsystem. The available documentation isn't that great yet, but there's good links in the OP about this.
I came to the same conclusions, but I settled for Nextcloud. It is dogslow when ran from a nixOS VM, and I can't quite figure out why.
AWS cost optimization consultants can easily charge several multiples of this because they charge based on a % saved.

I’ve seen someone get a few credentials at a company run a canned script & generate $50k in billable fees. The company was happy to pay it because it saved them $500k in recurring fees.
Sadly many parts of the US (and other countries) have been hiding the death rate for our current pandemic with varying degrees of success, it's quite possible to hide murders too. You can disguise them as something else.
Even murder can be tricky because medical advancements or hospital shutdowns can really impact the survival of severely injured people
I wonder how well their internet infrastructure and game servers will handle the enormous spike in traffic 8pm - 9pm Fri, Sat, and Sun.
I wouldn't look at the mouth of a gifted horse. Their closed source binary is not huge.

Also I don't worry about updates. Why would I connect my notebook to the Internet anyway? I just don't install them.

I guess it's a matter of time before fully open source display drivers are available and I can do my part too to make it happen.

When it happens I will have an ownable very nice, thin and responsible e-notebook. It will never be connected to the Internet and I will patch it myself if I will happen to want a new feature.

Maybe you are right and it could be more FOSS than it is, but in a world where you don't really own anything valuable anymore I am so elated about the hackability of this device that I'll take a bit of tinkering with binary files.
I don’t think there’s enough jurisprudence on GPLv3 to make that confident a statement.

I certainly can see the likes of Apple not wanting to take the risk that somewhere, a court will decide differently.
Seeing Circles, Sines and Signals
The thing is that the unnecesaary work isn't "busy work" but is work that primarily delivers value to the employer by winning in zero sum competitions. Advertising, legal services, lots of software development, lobbying, plus all those services that enable high productivity for zero sum work.

The problem is that we are dependent on these zero sum games to regulate our economy and as a result these zero sum games end up consuming all our our productivity gains and making up a progressively larger share of the economy.

Some people that don't have ability just "surf" projects. They try to stay as long as possible without contributing anything, then they find another one. I worked with people like that.

They do it because they can't do honest work that will pay comparably to their scheme.

The only way to deal with them is to not let them in.
I setup my own geocities website in 1998, so they had to have had it then. According to the document here [1], AOL's web browser was introduced in 1995.

I came here to recommend this. A few notes:

1. There is a CalDav/CardDav bridge which lets you use apps that don't implement the ETE protocol which is good because...

2. The iOS app is nigh unusable. It is painfully slow, requires manual syncing, and if your screen turns off in the middle of a sync, it may get killed by iOS forcing you to start the whole thing over again. Just set up the DAV bridge and use iOS's native DAV syncing.
Study: Rewarded life experiences are replayed and consolidated during sleep
Ages ago when I was a kid, our house was constantly being robbed. No city police in a town of 50,000

County police who took an hour or more to show up finally told my dad to get a gun and explained how we should move the body to make it look like we were being attacked. So that we didn’t get arrested.

So yea we moved promptly.
