FYI, the Mac Mini M1 has a fan that never turns off. It's very quiet, but it is not 100% silent.

To be fair, it is really hard to get the fan to speed up and make more noise.
You don't need a target audience necessarily. You can just see what is submitted and ponder if that is in the general direction you want to go in.

I have a video on youtube about plant intelligence where I remove all negative comments. Its not that I'm convinced plants are intelligent and can communicate their feelings I just don't want the comment section to be a place to drop off turds and never look back.

I'm not sure if carving a unicorn out of a blob of meat makes it a unicorn but I'm convinced the unscuplted blob is not one.

They do also state that:

That's nice too.
True about the type of people drawn to it. But I doubt he and his team worry about it as much as the mods think they worry about it. Like wikipedia they have survived quite a lot of drama in the past.

>The trouble is you are legally surrendering the possession of your unlocked phone to a police officer who can then search through it.

From the announcement:

>Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.
> Leaving money at a bank exposes you to vastly more systemic risk than just putting bills in a safe or something.

This is very dependent on the country you are in. Some countries have very conservative risk tolerances for their banks which are imposed on them and watched closely.
Well, not just particular to HN but on the internet everyone is a PhD in everything. If people ever cared to look beneath, world would’ve been a better place.

To echo another commenter - What's stopping you?

OpenBSD is super easy to install and set up, provided you do a little homework and make sure your hardware is supported.

I have it running on an old think pad and it's a great daily driver. The only thing that gets in your way is that you're going to be missing a handful of applications you might want to run, particularly anything using electron. But there are enough application out there, that you should be able to find suitable alternatives.
I would hardly consider blindly trusting a third party like cloudflare to be over-engineering.
It's good planning ahead for when Apple no longer supports perfectly fine old-ish machines. Both my mother and wife are now using Linux not because their computers broke but because Apple gave up on them.
You will, they can't simply assume the owner has never changed.
Before I left the US to travel and live abroad, I spent over $5,000 on cameras, lenses and accessories, thinking that I would make photography a primary pasttime.

What I quickly discovered is:

1. While I enjoy photography and still indulge in it from time to time, I enjoy being present and taking everything in with my own eyes because photographs, no matter how good, can rarely capture your real experience.

2. People taking photographs often "ruin" spots by making it more difficult for others to take them in.

3. At well-known spots, the vast majority of people take the same photos (same angles, etc.) but if you turn around, walk somewhere nearby, etc., you often have much more interesting experiences and sometimes even more impressive sights.

4. Because people take the same photos and post them to IG/FB/etc., your expectations for places can easily be distorted.

5. Taking photos of your travels can contribute to the joy of traveling but the most amazing experiences are based on actual human connections. If you're going to travel long distances to "see the world", make sure you talk to the people you encounter.

6. In less fortunate parts of the world, it can be weird to carry around a piece of equipment that costs a lot more than people earn in a year. While I don't think one should feel guilty about this, be aware that it can impact your experience when interacting with others.
I think the idea that an id would be digital only but then you're beholden to whomever software runs it would be frowned upon by the courts pretty fast.

Lots of 'software gone bad and dorked up someone's life' kinda situations out there but when it comes to IDs and simple interactions like presenting one the courts are pretty generally pretty reasonable.

I would expect some physical ID to continue for a long time.
Tell HN: Amazon Kindle's browser is not experimental anymore
Amazon has made some major UI changes with the latest Kindle firmware 5.13.7, the browser has finally moved out of experimental status and is now just called Web Browser.

Amazon's official change log for Kindle software updates is useless as always and so there's no real technical information on what has changed with the browser but it does seem bit more responsive, So does other parts of Kindle.

I read HN on my Kindle and JS rich sites like TechCrunch wouldn't load properly in the earlier Kindle experimental browser but loads great now (incl. Article mode).
Banking as a Service – What Is BaaS? Definition and Examples
Any ideas how to by pass this? I don't want to give Google my ID or credit card info.
That kinda already exists though, glasses and the like. I mean it compensates for a deficiency, but still.
I am not convinced the theories in that article are correct.

One example: "The ultra-rich need no encouragement to refrain from buying goods and services, so any increase in income concentration should put downward pressure on interest rates. Another way to look at it is that an increase in income concentration boosts the demand for financial assets, which should push up prices and push down yields."

Why should income inequality do that? What matters would be people's spending power, which is not necessarily correlated with income inequality - everybody could get richer, only some people could get a lot more richer, and it would still be income inequality.

Also not sure how he calculates growth and demand. He argues there is less need to invest into the future because there are fewer young people. But don't older people have even more needs than younger people (their maintenance is more expensive, they need accessible housing, cars to drive them around and so on)?

In my country (Germany) apparently they expect the demand for housing to rise, even though they expect fewer people, because they think people will live in increasingly smaller households (so more households with fewer people per household).

Just some random examples.
I can't think of any fuel source that will satisfy virtually all energy use cases with so little risk as nuclear batterization, even when considering the potential ability to lose the knowledge of how to maintain them given a total societal collapse.

What other types of fuel are Armageddon proof? Certainly not coal, CNG, whale blubber, solar, etc......Fire maybe? Even then, might as well consider that the end of civilization regardless.......
It would seem that those darned product managers did in fact think through a few things.

I was going to ask about training and certification from LispWorks, so I went to the site and was tragically underwhelmed by the knowledgebase and anything else resembling Lisp training or certification.

If the platform is as powerful as claimed, I do believe btw, then it will take some time. It is a learned skill.

I guess where I am getting with this, if a company makes LispWorks and Common Lisp part of their long term tech strategy, I would think that LispWorks would be more of a strategic partner than just a tools vendor. And in that regard, they should be offering language training, tooling training as well as certification. This is the prototypical MS Dev playbook from the 90s and it worked amazingly well.

Sheparding library standards is another thing that I would expect out of a company like LispWorks

My bank account's got robbed by European Commission. Over 700k is lost.

The most of circulating assets on our business Current Account are blocked.
Over 700k of expropriated money will be used to repay country's debt. Probably we will get back about 20% of this amount in 6-7 years.

I'm not Russian oligarch, but just European medium size IT business. Thousands of other companies around Cyprus have the same situation.

The business is definitely ruined, all Cypriot workers to be fired.
We are moving to small Caribbean country where authorities have more respect to people's assets. Also we are thinking about using Bitcoin to pay wages and for payments between our partners.

Special thanks to:

- Jeroen Dijsselbloem
- Angela Merkel
- Manuel Barroso
- the rest of officials of "European Comission"

P.S. The worst thing is, that even a month ago I was suspecting that things can go wrong. In February, I several times called my banker and lawyer and asked them if money on the account is safe, mentioning that article in Financial Times. But they convinced me that there is no reason to worry, and even if country goes default, in no way current accounts may be affected. "This is European Union and banks here can't just grab your money and go" I was told.
I got a hard lesson and now I know the meaning of phrase "TRUST NO ONE".

(...)

The stealing of my money is now finalized.

Yesterday I looked at my Laiki account and found that frozen amount is not more shown on my balance.
100% of frozen funds is now appears as outgoing transaction to nobody with comment "DECREE".

Also there are some news from lawyers.

Quote
The Supreme Court has not announced its decision yet. It examines preliminary objections raised by the Attorney on a basis that the Law and the Order are political acts of the state (like decision to start war) and therefore cannot be examined or controlled by the Supreme Court and that the matter in issue should be considered as a private and not a public law matter.

Also, there is recent translation of the "Capital Controls imposing DECREE"

[ 2013-07-10 10:49:23 PM Update ]
"Blocked Funds" amount has finally disappeared from our Laiki account. Bank told me it's "waived" (their interpretation of word "stolen"). We won't receive any bank shares as compensation for confiscated amount since the bank is liquidated.
The rest of the money (100k EUR) are still subject to Capital Control and we can only transfer 5K monthly.

Today I had a conversation with a manager from Laiki Bank.
He has been honest and confirmed that we may forget about anything over 100K as it's already spent to pay country's debts. Also, I was warned that the financial situation in the country is getting worse and worse and we should be ready to lose even part of insured (under 100K) money during this year (this is why they keep capital control enforced).

By the way, this style of "bank restructuring" is going to be adopted in the whole European Union.
Soon, everyone's uninsured money (over 100K EUR) in EU banks will be at risk of seizure.

I don't think we'll get there with AI unless we get to point of creating general intelligence.

The AI compositional developments are pretty wild, but I think without the varied high-entropy input that comes from lived experience I'm not sure they'll ever really get there.

I've repeated this before—many (maybe most) great artist will tell you that the songs didn't really come from themselves—they just sort of felt it, they were handed it, or they reached out and pulled it down.

Some of my favourite songwriters are quite open about their process including sitting on the couch noodling mindlessly and playing with melody like it was putty (rather than an equation).

Ultimately I think it follows the old adage that if you analyze something too much it will lose another aspect of itself that isn't analyzable. You look to solve the problem of creating great music by reducing it to a problem that we have mathematical models for, then you will lose all of the input from areas we where don't yet have mathematical models.

We "don't yet know what we don't know" about music.

Definitely a fun area of discussion. I get bored fast when people try and reduce composing to such restricted values, though—except as a compositional technique unto itself. Music is math, alright, in as much as everything is math. But our mathematical model isn't advanced enough to coherently describe the experience in so few terms as people in attempted discussions about objective merits of/in music tend to reduce it.
A nice gateway article to remind you all of crypto. I know HN despises all things crypto, but it is an exit ramp from all the BS of central banks. The fed seems fine on allowing quantitative easing for the next few years. In my opinion the net result of quantitative easing is to lower the real wages of labor, which means more net work will need to be done. This will make the wealthy (capital owners) more wealthy and make the workers (labor owners) poorer. I've taken the crypto off ramp from the central bank's power. You can too.
Edit: not even show the device.
That is great!
I don't like this requirement at all but this is a very weak argument. Anecdotal experience shouldn't yield any conclusions.

There shouldn't be a "python install" at all, let alone a "default". Whether an application uses this-or-that Python interpreter, or Ruby/Bash/Scheme/whatever should make about as much difference as whether a C program was compiled with GCC or Clang: it's an implementation detail, which doesn't need to be co-ordinated with everything else on the OS (although the package maintainers may want to coordinate, e.g. to allow re-use of files via soft-/hard-links, bind-mounts, etc.).

When I "install foo-1.0 into my python environment", that's an annoying implementation detail (which is also imperative and non-atomic, i.e. there is a time where the python environment exists without foo-1.0). What I really want is "run a 'python' command where 'import foo' will have foo-1.0". That shouldn't break other applications which just-so-happen to use foo-0.5, or whatever.

My wife and I spoke to several docs from her OBGYN, 2 docs from my sons pediatrician about the safety of the vaccine during breast feeding, and my doctor. We also spoke to a family member who was a pregnant pediatrician who took the Pfizer vaccine early. They all agreed the vaccine was a good idea. We then looked at the CDC guidelines, my state and county’s public health department guidelines, and the information from the NIAID.

I’ve yet to find a doctor or any guidelines that say you’ll become sterile after taking the Pfizer vaccine. I’d caution against taking advice from a doc who believes there’s a risk of being sterile. Pretty sure the US and EU would’ve caught on to it already.
And legal; it's not like they're hiding their assets. It's a workaround from what IMO is a stupid move from the ECB. The low interest rates are another driver behind the housing prices going up and people risking more money in investments like stonks and crypto.

I’ve seen the non-tech version of this first hand. A wallet was handed to a police officer at a traffic stop to show the ID in the clear plastic window. The cop then rifled through the rest of the wallet and found a second fake ID.

Imagine a cop taking your unlocked phone back to his car to “run your license”.
Same. I always lumped it in with "can't curl my tongue" and "cilantro tastes like soap" types of genetic differences...
With housing, cause and effect probably runs the other way. It’s seen as a good investment and soaks up monstrous amounts of capital, and for that machine to work and Calpers to pay pensions, housing prices must always go up.
Agreed. I'm using it as a loose metaphor here, I just mean in general, they need to be a lot more organized and proactive. I've seen many varieties of agile and not-so-agile work well.... if they have their shit together. And even the most well though out agile process can be a gong show if they don't.
Translation: police can now identify you with your permission.
Not only that but you are legally permitted to withdraw your consent to search at any time. Just merely handing your phone to an officer unlocked does not permit a limitless search and seizure.

However if during that time the officer sees material that constitutes probable cause for a search, they can seize the phone without your ability to withdraw consent.

IANAL

The question is, who cares about interest rates? People invest in stocks. And return on stocks in the last 20-30 years wasn't worse than historical average, and considering very low inflation in this period, it was quite a bit above average. And certainly the uber rich don't keep money on savings accounts - it's too risky (almost all money would be above FDIC threshold) and they can easily afford volatility of stock market as their planning horizon is near infinite - longer than human lifetime, and at that horizon, stocks are a lot more stable than bank deposits.

The Fed is reactive. The Fed doesn't set interest rates, the market does. I believe this is one of the biggest misconceptions about our central bank. Yes, the Fed plays an obvious role, more to do with printing money for whatever the issue-of-the-day is, but the market is far more powerful than the Fed when it comes to interest rates. If the Fed raised rates 500bps tomorrow, over time, interest rates would still settle back at 0%, and all the Fed would've done is created complete dysfunction.

Central banks are reactive.

I thought this was gonna be about how we've been tying data or documents in native mobile apps to their program of origin, making the use of several apps on a same document very complicated (or importing data from other apps). iOS went all hog on this and it's been a pain for "pro" workflows.

Instead it's complaining about bad JavaScript usage and needless "apps" for "personal websites", which by the definition of the author are just documents to be shared. I love badmouthing SPAs and needless JS like anyone else, but what if I want a bit of interactivity such as comments? Am I not allowed to do that on my personal website by the author's definition?

I think most importantly it misses the point that the web never was about defining documents. HTML was about linking pages and resources together. And even early on, CGI was a thing, and interactivity quickly became the "killer app", starting with search.

I mean, Mosaic added forms in 1993. [1]
