Yes, it’s I’ll-advised to keep one’s savings in cash, but a shockingly large number of people do it.[1]

It’s not surprising that some people would also choose to keep the money “safe” by keeping it with them when they travel.

The fact that it’s irrational is irrelevant. It’s quite common, and therefore this is a great example of abusive civil forfeiture. Corrupt cops have surely become aware that such behavior is commonplace. They’ve learned how to sniff out such victims and prey upon them.

I can’t think of a better example than this case.

I have done no tweaking at all - never used i3 before but it has everything I need. It also has the Gnome config tools available which is nice to have in one place for changing things like volume and external display settings (fine to do it without but I am getting lazy with age).
The economy doesn’t exist to serve “the people” (referring to a specific class), it exists to serve “people.” That number of people being served can very well grow or shrink over time. The existence of automation doesn’t guarantee it is strictly decreasing; consider the automobile industry for example, which created millions of jobs.
It uses the "Awesome Lists" format many of which are more of huge lists of almost everything noteworthy on specific topic not a curated list with high standards. Often created for the purpose of farming github stars and contributions for the author of list and people contributing to it.

Even if the lists aren't of best quality, they can sometimes be useful as starting point for researching a new topic. Just need to keep in mind that some things might be missing and you need to evaluate and compare the quality of each linked project yourself.
This is the primary failing of many tech people/companies. You can't compete by just building a "better" technical product.

Everything from sales to support to customizations and integrations matter to companies, especially as they grow and develop their own teams and management structures which require the software mold into their workflows. Whether the management processes are the best is a different conversation, but being able to support any scenario is why Jira and Confluence are so successful.

It's the same reason why Salesforce has dominated CRMs even with so many "modern" alternatives around.
According to an article in The Washington Post [1] he does not trust banks. He did not normally keep it in his car; but,"had it in the car with him because he was planning to look for homes closer to his children that weekend, and his parents were scheduled to be out of town." (He normally keeps hte cash in his parents' house.)

Tell that to the patients on ventilators who have to sue the hospital to actually treat the patient, and then days later they are off the vent due to Ivermectin. Now imagine giving the medicine the day of testing rather than 3 weeks later on a ventilator?

I've always eaten a lot of meat, and had cognitive dissonance about headlines like this. If I didn't eat much meat in a given day, I'd just feel like garbage. When I did keto, it wasn't a super difficult adjustment for me after the first week (which sucks for almost everyone). It felt closer to how I always wanted to be, to be honest, though I think keto is a little too into fat.

Well, I learned recently I have low B12 levels via a blood test. B12 is found in meats, fish, and dairy. We'll see if supplementation reduces my carnivore desires.

Just a single data point but it seemed salient for the discussion.

I love the point you're making, and perhaps what I'm trying to say isn't coming through in the piece.

Another way I've talked about this (to myself) in the past is that there is something akin to the cathedral vs the bazaar approach. One is designed, intentional, centralized, and structured. The other is informal, emergent, and distributed. I think this is what you're getting at with the organic structure of natural cities?

I believe the best organizations actually have some attributes of both -- tension between design and emergent structure.

Companies usually lack the right structure to really have emergent properties without bad results (see the excellent Coda Hale article referenced in another comment for some of the math behind this). I believe it takes some design to set things up so that emergent qualities can be successful.

You shouldn't squash things that arise between silos, like new communication pathways and even some collaboration. Those are very necessary and important. But I do think you need to keep an eye on collaboration, because it's often a sign that there are structural problems that will break down without further design.

The best designs, I think, allow for emergent qualities naturally.

I guess I also agree with Hayek's hypothesis, except that I'm not sure it applies here. For example, if your problem is that the go to market organization doesn't understand what is happening within the product development organization, that is a very solvable problem -- you can solve that many different ways -- the two that come to mind are role definition and communication channels.

A lot of what I'm advocating for is design that is compatible with how human beings work together, and sensitive to their limits.

I'm super curious if I'm missing your point or if you'd suggest adding anything to the piece to clarify this point. Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

> There is a trend in web dev right now to stop using jQuery because reasons.

One reason is that a lot of jquery’s bulk is compatibility concerns or BC in edges, if you decide that you don’t support old jQuery (mis)behaviour, older APIs, older browsers, … you can probably slim it down a fair bit.

A bunch of utilities you can also probably do without e.g. your jQuery.map, animations stuff, … jQuery is progressively deprecating more and more things, but it’s a harder sell to actually remove them.
I think the interesting thing here is not so much that the glyph exists (lots of typographical symbols have existed for a long time) but that it is being used much as we use emojis today.

Yup. Planning a vacation and then doing the vacation is like doing it twice. I'm already bored. Better to just hop off the plane, wander around, and get lost.

I've got dozens of half-baked projects. Once I verify to myself that something is feasible, I lose interest. There's so many more fascinating problems to chew on!

I've wondered why I'm this way. A day dreamer, a space cadet. Maybe I'm addicted to novelty.

I've met maybe a dozen people like my sis. People who's dopamine hit comes from checking off items on a task list. My hit apparently comes from solving puzzles.

Back story: Lokad has been a long time client of Microsoft Azure since 2009 even before the production release of (Windows) Azure. Unfortunately, the story of deploying over Azure has been a mess for more than a decade now. Five years ago, I was posting half a dozen of competing solutions to deploy code https://blog.vermorel.com/journal/2016/8/29/the-sad-state-of... Now, there would be a couple more entries. SshRun is our response to sanitize our own deployments, almost exclusively over Linux VMs nowadays.
Research methodologies in nutrition are almost universally underpowered for the results they claim. You'll very rarely find double-blind clinical trials with large numbers of participants, and since we know little of the possible confounding factors between individuals when it comes to nutrition, that's what you need.

Instead, most knowledge in nutrition comes either from extremely small clinical studies (often less than 50 people), often with co-morbidities such as obesity or diabetes or endocrine diseases; or from professional atheltics. Or, from huge national-level statistics that rely on interviews for self-reported diet information, and are thus forced to mix diet, diet perception, excersise levels, lifestyle (stress, sleep) and environmental factors in one big mess, out of which come recommendations like the mediteranean diet, instead of siesta or 5-7 weeks of vacation per year or year-round sun.

Wow they got like 5 BTC. Cool story bro
Because it will be used for political means and ignored for helpful misinformation. Russian election manipulation <-> LGBT propaganda. Just bullshit for self-serving political gains, not difficult to see the mirror-images of stupidity here. So let it fly and let people judge themselves.

That misinformation is a problem on the internet is misinformation. The reality is that there is political dissent. That dissent has a right to be heard and the accusation of misinformation has done enough damage, it was quite stupid. Of course established media supported such a perspective because they have difficulties justifying their place in the difficult economy of today.

Everything is misinformation until you have a significantly trustworthy source. There will be difference between individuals. Even if people believe misinformation at first, it will only solve itself if you let people do their own research. "Fact-checkers" are no such trustworthy sources, frankly they could serve as an example of what not to do.

Top learnings from implementing machine learning for startups
Something as massive as YouTube can be beaten. This feels like the circle of life, considering every empire that rises eventually falls too.
Though I am not saying TikTok is the doom for YouTube since geo politics will play a significant role its future. And there are other metrics by which TikTok hasn’t probably caught up with YouTube yet like the size of the user base, revenue etc.

What seems odd is how TikTok is managing this. YouTube is popular among all demographics, the diversity of content is mind bogglingly high whereas (I presume) TikTok is popular among the crowd who are either going to highschool or in college. Its primary purpose is entertainment, so how did it beat YouTube exactly?

I've got an idea for a DC electric motor that has no apparent AC. Can anyone spot any hidden AC here?

Take a disk on a shaft. Use a ratcheting mechanism on the shaft so that it can only rotate in one direction. Attach permanent magnets around the rim of the disk.

Attach more permanent magnets to bimetallic strips positioned outside the rim of the disk. Near each bimetallic strip place a resistor.

The angular spacing of the bimetallic strips and magnets around the outside of the rim should not be that same as that of the magnets on the rim.

Turn the disk by moving one or more of the outer magnets closer to the rim to create asymmetrical torque on the disk. You move the outer magnets by using the resistors to heat the their bimetallic strips. You move an out magnet back to its original position by letting it cool back down.
What preference would that be? My lists clearly consists of everyone from all sides of politics and law. So not sure where you make the claim about bias from? Seems like you aren’t a fan of non corporate anti establishment types.

It's been really interesting to see another recent uptick in media (and HN) coverage of deepfakes, modified media, etc lately.

There are virtually endless ways to generate ("deepfake") or otherwise modify media. I'm convinced that we're (at most) a couple advancements of software and hardware away from anyone being able to generate or otherwise modify media to the point where it's undetectable (certainly by average media consumers).

This comes up so often on HN I'm beginning to feel like a shill but about six months ago I started working on a cryptographic approach to 100% secure media authentication, verification, and provenance with my latest startup Tovera[0].

With traditional approaches (SHA256 checksums) and the addition of blockchain (for truly immutable and third party verification) we have an approach[1] that I'm confident can solve this issue.

To some extend this is the case in France.

People are going to "probe" you with some more or less controversial claims or comments and see how you will behave. This is part of the culture and is honestly tiring.

I would not call it "bullying" yet, but it is still a violent way to probe someone's character.
I highly doubt that without a reliable source. Proteins don't "rot", they fall apart into amino acids which are absorbed. I have never heard amino acids becoming unusable due to long digestion tracts.

The reason I've always heard about carnivores having shorter digestive tracks is that animal matter is much easier to digest than fiber-and-cellulose-laden plant material. In most organisms (expect humans) digestion takes the most % of energy so shortening the digestive tract if it's not necessary is a no-brainer for evolution.
I'm not sure I buy this argument, one can't just say that ~30kb isn't a lot because 30 is a number perceived as low, would 30kb be justified for a library that allows you to toggle a class on a node? Of course it wouldn't, you need to measure what you are getting for 30kb.

I don't buy the second part of the argument either, you can load a 1000kb image on a blog post and that won't have nearly the same effect as loading 1000kb of JS. The JS needs to be parsed and executed and maybe the site doesn't even work without it, the image can probably be rendered progressively, can be decoded in another thread, nothing is really waiting on it to load, and if it doesn't load at all it's not the end of the world anyway.

With ~4kb you can have Preact, is jQuery Slim (~26kb) giving you ~6.5x times as much value as Preact really? Maybe it is, probably not.

For some context I maintain a ~6kb rewrite of a subset of jQuery (https://github.com/fabiospampinato/cash), which IMO is much better value proposition for many use cases.

Journalists have evolved into an enemy of the people as they promote their personal, and corporate political beliefs on the rest of us, while passing it off as “just the facts.” I think journalism lost its “inform the public” mantle many years ago as journalists saw the power they had. As another commentor said, burn it to the ground, the media and journalism in general is forever poisoned against the people.

As a military veteran the guy might have had some misplaced respect/trust for police officers previously.

His consent wasn't likely to be required. That consent is merely a superficial layer, easily discarded by staging dog alerting. If the guy didn't consent out of misplaced respect, he may have chosen to do so because he realized the cops can get in your car if they particularly want to no matter what you do. And once he mentioned the large amounts of cash, that was that.

In this scenario, it would almost certainly have to be that manufacturers would have to build cameras that cryptographically sign the images and videos. The cameras would have to be able to have that ability, install of the manufacturers doing the signing.

And then what would the Blockchain provide in this case? A chain of cryptographically signed certificates back to a manufacturer is basically the same system we use on the web today TLS certs. No Blockchain required.

And a major problem with that system is making sure the camera only signs genuine images. A nation state actor, or even a large political operation, is going to have an incentive to bypass the protections on that camera - perhaps just driving what the CCD is telling the rest of the camera - so they can produce signed fakes.

That's if they can't just get the private key off the camera, perhaps through a side channel attack - which can be pretty tough to pull off but is very tough to really defend against. Get a private key, game is over for the fraudster.
Actually, I am a big fan of C++ code. Smart code may cause problems and I agree with that. You know what else causes problems? Tool churn and language churn. At any time of the night and day I very much prefer figuring out somebody elses smart code than figuring out yet another tool that we apparently need. It may not necessarily be that one thing wastes more time than the other but I am 100% sure where my preference is as far as what kind of problem I like to work with.
TikTok has two advantages - first, an order more user data to refine it's feed algorithm and second a format that lowers the bar for content creation which allows for super niche content to be viable. The combination enables a feed that resonates.

I have been doing this for almost 20 years, using handy 3-rd party panel applets and system's (both Linux and Windows) built-in tools. So I'm surprised to learn MacBooks still don't allow manual throttle control. I usually prefer to keep my thermal regime below of what the vendors pre-define.
