Those are good recommendations though mostly modern. However, they’re notoriously known to be difficult readings for most people, even with a guide.

Refashioning the Lavoisiers (2021)
Liftoff[0] by Eric Berger is a great book about the early days of SpaceX that I can highly recommend.

In-Q-Tel finances companies that they see could benefit them in the long term. A site collects a bunch of profile information about a person who willingly submits it? Why not? It's especially true for Facebook and Oracle who have CIA backing.
Or, better yet, make it all free like Finland and Russian and many other parts of the world.
(If I have an economic position, it's perhaps close to Piketty. Although he draws on pre-industrial age statistics too much.)

My main criticism of this revolves around the question "what are we out of that limits society?". The author argues that capital is not scarce, which seems to be true for the US. He argues that attention is scarce, which is reasonable.

He then takes the big jump. He argues that attention is the primary limiting factor on, in some sense, "progress". That's where his argument goes bad. That limiting factor applies to a small part of the economy, but it's the part that gets much VC attention.

So what are we out of? This is a crucial question. I'm not going to try to propose an answer. But it's the right question to ask.

When something other than capital limits output, capital markets don't send the right signals to direct effort in useful directions. This leads to somewhat strange investments chewing up large amounts of capital. HN readers don't need examples of this.
Thanks for the tip. I will have to take a look. It'd be nice if there were some github repos out there that leveraged this to make experimenting with Linux distros (including Desktop environments) as seamless as it is with VMWare Workstation - where things like high DPI resolution, copy & paste, etc. just work without too much trouble.
McDonalds makes more off the ice cream ingredients than fixing the machine. That argument doesn’t make sense.

The whole franchise model is having franchisees but ice cream mix or whatever. They won’t buy the mix if the machine is down.

I think it’s just hard to clean and people don’t like doing it. And everyone is short staffed. Googling cryptic codes is easy. Cleaning the machine is hard.
Western Digital introduces new non-SMR 20TB HDDs with onboard NAND
I agree that we need more sobering takes on ML like this resource and not more of the hype that is all to prevalent.
As a developer: Great!

As a consumer: I dunno, using Apple for payments has a lot of consumer protections. Why would I give that up?
Blockchains are value-transfer networks. The value transfer layer has historically been abused as a rule rather than the exception:

- Rent seeking, such as by Visa and Mastercard that continually try and raise merchant fees

- Censorship, such as with OnlyFans and its attempted blacklisting by the banking system

- As a weapon of war, as with the treasury blocking entities via their monopoly of the global reserve currency and their licensing / penalty system of banks regardless of their country

- Debasement of money in general by the money printers

Blockchains, when properly implemented as closely as can be attempted using decentralized engineering techniques, are neutral plumbing for value transfer. Ethereum is owned by no one, thus competitors can use it, and fees can be optionally added by middlemen if their services justify the fees. The benefit to the world is choice in the world of finance, something society has never had until recently.
They can’t actually, GDP is a function of supply and velocity. If you increase supply and it’s saved, velocity drops commensurately. This yields no change in nominal GDP.

This is certainly possible. Watch all of your content in theaters with all copies of the content as heavily secured as possible (physically and digitally)
the introduction to continental philosophy here is left as footnote, but the argument for understanding continental philosophy and not as a red-headed stepchild of analytic philosophy goes in saying that they've had as equal an effect on the world of art and politics (of the kind in countries opposed to america, tho, of course) as analytic philosophy has in formal linguistics and cs and such.

do you think they don't read adorno in beijing university? they do. if the chinese started off the great Deng reform era based upon the marxist doctrine of historical materialism, maybe it's worthwhile to go learn historical materialism! the Bourbaki conversed extensively with the French post-structuralists and various other weirdoes including Dieudonne, Levi-Strauss, Piaget and Lacan: if you understand more of post-structuralism, maybe you'll understand why the hell they are / were that way!

they sure didn't have the early-Wittgensteinian idea of philosophy as fundamentally therapy underneath. they lived by philosophy, and slaughtered millions for it, but this is still worth study, if not very useful as life-enrichment.
The system exists to be gamed
> I guess what rubs me slightly the wrong way about this list is it seems focused on "who said what, and when" and not necessarily what's true.

There is some merit to this observation. Frederick Wilhelmsen[0] criticized Great Books for this reason, that not only was it selective and culturally restricted, but that it tends to degenerate into a he-said-she-said sort of relativism and leave it at that with no real finality to the whole thing. (Some will likely counter that philosophy isn't about the truth but considering "ideas", but that's nonsense. If we consider ideas, it is only because we are trying to determine if they're true and no other reason.)

Incidentally, it did not escape my notice that medieval philosophy appears nowhere on this list. This is preposterous. To venture from the ancients to the moderns while skipping over Scholasticism is lunacy. I don't necessarily blame the author. There may be a general ignorance and silence about the medieval period at may universities.

This same book was written half a century ago by another member of the US libertarian elite: Alvin Toffler's The Third Wave (1980).

Which itself was a bad ripoff of Zbigniew Brzezinski's Between Two Ages (1970).

Thank you for the list, I've been trying to expand my philosophy horizon by reading non-European philosophers over last few months.

I don't suppose anyone have any recommendations from Africa or the Polynesian people?
Well the key word here would be threatens and rampant. Which is sort of the absolute of extreme end of the augment.

For example Adobe and Microsoft has turned a blind eye on piracy for years. I believe it was Steve Jobs who had the gut to point out the obvious, Student on campus just pirate their Photoshop.

For content, you could derive additional revenue from non-content product like merchandise or other form of cross-industry IP sharing. You cant have these sort of deals without getting significant mindshare of the public. And for some piracy is part of it. Think Game of Thrones. The most pirated TV shows on the planet. And is the same with Music. Most artist dont earn much with licensing, streaming or disc sales any more. It is about live performance tours and merchandise. Streaming Music isn't doing as well as most media would like you to believe, such as back to to the peaks of 90s without accounting for inflation and population difference.

That is why I sort of think in the future some content could end up going the freemium model. Just like how mobile games are doing.
What is a huge tangible success that crypto has delivered?
This sketches me out to say the least
That is certainly part of the answer. The other part is that the banker doesn’t have an option to directly invest the funds.

Banks are constrained in this regard. Money earmarked for lending cannot instead be invested by the bank.
Startup Is Turning Houses into Corporations, and the Neighbors Are Fighting Back
I am not talking about the rate, but rather about your sentence:
> If currency loses 100% of value, it will be worth zero. A complete, 100%, total loss.

Inflation is about the loss of value, not deflation. 1£ today will be worth x£ tomorrow, where x < 1.
What are you talking about corporations leading the charge? They couldn't care less until the publication of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. He talked about how they would do whatever was necessary to make spoiled food saleable. If that meant adding talc or bleaching it then so be it. If that meant turning hot dogs into the most amazing use of waste they would.

In fact I would argue it is against corporations best interest in ancient time to ensure food safety, because it would increase waste
Who cares about job titles? Just get the money.
Does not compute!
(1) well I don’t know what to tell you haha, inflation calculations are public. You can’t just say without citation that ehhh I feel like it’s not though shrug - this is actually something you can calculate! Please, do it, or cite some sources - ideally credible ones! You can’t just make giant claims like that without evidence. Of course certain contributors will be higher than the average weighting - like housing - but that’s how averages work.

(2) ok the same exact thing applies to SPY shares and doubly so when you include dividends. I mean AAPL is 7% of the S&P500 and 12% of the NASDAQ and so is fairly representative but your point is well taken.
>In a recent legal victory, a judge awarded a temporary restraining order against Taylor after Kytch had alleged in a complaint that the McFlurry machine manufacturer had gotten its hands on a Kytch Solution Devices with the express intention of learning its trade secrets. The complaint also alleged that Taylor had told McDonald’s and its franchisees to stop using Kytch machines on the grounds that they were dangerous, and that the company had begun development on its own version of the Kytch system at the same time.

I think you have it backwards. However, you're still right in essence, since Taylor seems to be attempting to break compatibility with the Kytch machines. Sounds a lot like another company we talk about here...

Either you don't have many questions or you're content with answers that are sufficient rather than sufficient and necessary.
From the Introduction: "This report describes the results of a security assessment targeting five Mozilla VPN Qt5applications and clients, together with their corresponding codebase"

It's only the client-side software in scope,not the VPN service itself.
What guarantees do you have that running apt won't install a rootkit or that the compiler the foss source code was compiled with wasn't malicious?

At the end of the day, we largely trust canonical or the distros maintainers to not do anything malicious, even by accident.

I see Libre cloud as a similar situation, though with more avenues for larger-scale abuse. Hopefully, just like with other things FOSS, the community will validate that everything is fine and the risk is minimal.

Interesting that they say “taxation” of caravans was their source of income, so were they effectively grifters making caravans pay them for protection money?
Yeah that’s why I use them. A lot of the retail brokerages will offer more competitive rates if you push them on it but it’s really unlikely they’ll do better than IBKR so why bother with the negotiation?
Paper? Or at least working toward open source, which is what an actually transparent government should run with.
I was trying dendrite a month back and there were some big features missing: expiring messages, message notifications. Additionally the user management endpoints were still in flux.

This says the only important features missing are:

* E2EE verification over federation

* Outgoing read receipts, typing, presence over federation

Does this mean it's more complete than dendrite?
The worst thing you can do is go to university - 'the only place you cannot study' (Moten/Harney The Undercommons). One must be prepared to confront one's own ideology and individuation which both run counter to the university structure. For me, philosophy was a calling and my first interest in it I can remember was at nine. Truth is a whole in knowledge and paradoxes are what are to be sustained not resolved. Today, universities still teach that Hegel invented thesis/antithesis/synthesis - he did not and nowhere did he write this. His work undermines this very concept. Start with your own curiosity and move from there. Of course, if you want a job, go to university.
What is their business model? How do they afford to host all this without selling data or charging money?

Let’s be honest, isn’t it free already ? The Tech / science side has millions of hours of free education online. Much better than anything Finland or Russia together could ever provide.

Even certifications are free or as cheap as a few hundreds of dollars. The true problem comes from GATE KEEPED professions where the common people shouldn’t be involved. Think Pharma / Medicine / etc

What’s RBF?
"AllowedIPs" detemines which target networks are allowed to be routed through the tunnel. If it actually gets routed or not depends on the software. wg-quick adds routes to AllowedIPs by default, systemd-networkd does not.
One of the interesting mechanisms is that the spike proteins poke out of already infected cells and activate a calcium-ion channel which ultimately triggers infected cells to fuse together so you get these massive cells with 20 nuclei all producing more virus and fusing other cells.

It seems like this mostly targets reparatory cells, but it's probably not great for hearing/smell if something similar happens to those cells.

I really wish we saw wider adoption of Bazel, or something Bazel-like, from the OSS space. The main benefits Bazel-like systems bring to the table, in my mind, are structuring libraries, binaries, and tests in a way a software engineer thinks about those things in code. It makes it very natural and also provides public/private visibility to libraries all while also giving you reproducible builds.

If you are in a larger company, or something like an OS distribution, you can even further benefit from RBE. Imagine a Linux distro just being built like this:

cc_binary(name = "package_manager", ...)
os_pkg(name = "distro", srcs = [":package_manager", "//:userspace"])

Or something like that which would produce an iso and cpio (for PXE) automatically for you. You could then very quickly compile and test all of this on every arch you have access to using RBE.

Stumbling upon this site while browsing for KDE Plasma theme. Searching with 'open desktop' or 'opendesktop' terms on HN does not seems like someone has posted them in the past, so I decided to post it. Looking at their services, there is an opportunity to create a mobile-desktop ecosystem out of them like Google services.

Most platforms prior to the mid 2000's had a ToS that only restricted pornography and illegal content. The idea that platforms should all be have massive ToS's and acceptable content policies is a pretty recent invention that only came about in the last few years.

I still think those shouldn’t be crimes, stealing money (or causing money to be stolen) should be a crime.
That's very interesting. I take the exact opposite approach.

I start by reading wide surveys and overviews and then dig deep (both original works and commentary) into areas and writers the resonate with me personally.

Some of my deeper dives have included Camus, Epictetus & Seneca, Popper and Spinoza.

It's a pretty eclectic mix, and few would consider these foundational authors, but their works have had a great deal of influence on me personally.
New Molecular Computing Device Has Unprecedented Reconfigurability
I got -2 points for stating the very noticeably obvious. That pretty much sums up just how rusty and old Java has become over the years.

So what is the way to learn Java in 2021? Buy 2 - 3 Paperback books?

These days even Perl has documentation on a site that belongs to 2021. These are some things that you need to do to make your language accessible to people wanting to start new projects.

As of now the only real way to read something about Java on the internet is adhoc answers on StackOverflow.
I'm really pleased that Stoicism is seeing something of a resurgence. While Jack Dorsey and some other silicon valley types espousing it can be off-putting, there's a lot of value in Stoic ideas, and many of their practices anticipated or prefigured modern psychological practices (especially Cognitive-Behavioral therapy).

Would recommend Epictetus after a reader got through Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, especially if that reader was intrigued by their ideas. It's a surprisingly easy read for a classical text, and a lot of the humor and sarcasm still hits after 1900 years.
So who are these people that take the "both" perspective because that does not represent the conservative ideology at all -- which is based upon "personal responsibility" aka you get what you deserve. There is no call from conservatives for government intervention to make the poor less vulnerable.
So every app includes a reader function??
During the time I worked at ASML, I spoke to some of the engineers about things like this.

Apparently, that equipment rarely gets sold off or excessed. Those machine keep producing for years and years and decades even, for the same companies, in the same fabs, in the same location. Even as they get older and older, they’re still so profitable to keep running that it almost never makes sense to turn them off or sell them to someone else.

They were actually quite proud of the fact that they had lots of old hardware in the field that was still running and producing wafers for the same customer so many years later. They were a little taken aback by what it cost them to keep those old systems around themselves, so that they could provide support for them in the field. But that’s what the customers were paying for, and so that’s what ASML did.
> For that you need to know the offending APK ID in the first place

In this case, the offending APK ID is "com.tblenovo.lenovotips".

And I am pissed off that I had to learn that to fix a device that I own.
Then it depends, maybe 4 years later it will be discussed by the EU and Apple will be forced to pay 1% of what the change brought them. /s
Question about E2EE verification: that means encryption over federation works, but you can't verify the encryption over federation, yes? Like, no green checkmarks?

Looks like there's a bunch of features on their roadmap that are still not yet implemented. Not sure how it shapes up to dendrite specifically.
Operating a franchise eliminates nearly all your individual rights. You’re paying for the privilege of selling a preconfigured product based upon its legal owner’s contractual guidelines.
