I've used vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden_rs) for probably 2 years now. The author keeps up with the upstream quite well. It's written in rust and uses SQLite, which makes it lightweight and appropriate for a single user setup. It's so good it even passed the WAF test.
Sorry, of course I did not mean in general but only in this specific context where the purpose is to spoof your location in order to circumvent location-based restrictions.
What would be a use case for this?

E.g. sending verification emails from the client is a bit hare-brained, as I can just as easily steal the verification link from the dev console…
What a beautiful example of science building on itself. A new framework gave way to a new solution, and now that solution has been ported back to the old framework. It's a wonderful process.

Last week my mom suddenly got very sick. She got pneumonia, one of her lungs collapsed. We expected the worst, she’s not that old but she has diabetes and other health issues. Thankfully the doctors got everything under control with the help of antibiotics. It was amazing to witness how she recovered very quickly. Today she’s back home, the whole family got reunited and we enjoyed a nice meal like nothing happened last week.
They never target millions. They target one, and ruin his life, preferably one with children so he also divorces.

Every dystopian regime does that.
They are usually shared under the title of “preprint” or “draft” often, but not always, before the time of actual publishing.

Always seemed like a grey area to me. We didn’t really distribute the copy of the paper with the journal/conference’s name + copyright - though a perhaps a line under the title: “To be published in…”
While this might not be the answer you are looking for, but I can present an argument about why time dilation must be true to explain electromagnetism. The experiment produces apparently paradoxical equations that simply happen to work out fine. Trying to explain this experiment forces us to accept special relativity.

I hoped as much...so what are the repercussions, if any?
The best lies are those with some truth in them, obviously.
I would love to see Bitcoin crash to close-to-zero levels: I'd buy as much as I can afford short of actually starving.

I suspect I'm far from the only one with that outlook, and therefore ... BTC going to zero is unlikely.
It depends on the circumstances and the publisher. In many cases publishers permit authors to host the accepted version of the paper (but not the final version that includes revisions based on reviewer feedback) on their personal/institutional website and to email copies of the paper on an individual basis to people who request them.

For example, see https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/copyright (under "Author Rights") for what Elsevier permits you to do with your own work.

On the other hand, publishers have sometimes filed lawsuits against sites where authors share their papers, e.g. ResearchGate: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06945-6

Elsevier have also sent takedown notices to universities where academics have made the final version available on their institutional websites:

You're wrong: all the nocoiners on HN would be robbed of an opportunity to cringe every time BTC is mentioned on the site.
>By 2060, 40% of the country will be Hispanic or Asian. Our overall approach to race issues must accommodate their reality as well.

That's ok, by then they will be white.

Just like how the grand children of the victims of the holocaust are both white and Nazis at the same time.
Shouldn't be defensive.

Crypto communities spread FUD about fiat all the time. Some of it justified.

But equally justified is looking at the -real- value that BTC and other crypto assets offer.

(Disclosure: As many people here on HN, I entered into the crypto space during the 2016-2017 rally. Still get paid in fiat. And my biggest assets are in real-estate.)
I doubt you can completely insulate yourself from the environment though. Criminals at some point start targeting the rich with all kinds of methods, "protection" payments (extortion) etc. Or what do you do if someone points a gun to your head to rob your car? Are you expected to drive everywhere with body guards?
I don't think it is distant future.

It could be more like: "My computer won't start" (it currently does not start), or "don't leave this unattended or the cat will eat it" (it's actually happening right now as soon as you do).
Cool magazine, are there more issues there?

I can't recommend it enough, together with the Paradoxes of Mr. Pond, but the reader needs to enter the same state (half serious, half playful) mindset that the Author evidently was in when writing them.

As a side note a (very short) note on punishment, not easily available, is one of my preferred things by Chesterton, main part is here:
http://books.google.com/books?id=QtWvMclbR9YC&pg=PA503&lpg=P...

The essence of it being:

The modern world is wicked, because it is civilized. What is specially shameful and pitiless in modern punishment is not the severity of punishment, it is the continuity of the punishment.
The homepage claim is that no server-side code is required to integrate it - so this seems to allow anyone to rock up on your website, call into the EmailJS service, and trigger an email?

Given that EmailJS doesn't send email directly - it only sends through the accounts (e.g. Gmail) you've connected - this feels like a recipe for getting your email account shut down rapidly. If your template allows a variable destination (i.e. you can set To: from client-side) and there's enough latitude in the template, I don't see anything stopping people spamming through this service beyond the "abuse measures" like IP rate limiting.
It was. People aren't taught about the Venona Papers. I wonder why that is.

What is the best way to use ledger on my android phone? I need to be able to account for every transaction I make immediately after they happen. Sitting down and writing all this stuff into a file at the end of the day is just too boring.

Anyone have experience with the apps mentioned in the site?
It doesn't have any significant impact. The map was already assumed to be fake by most scholars. We have both historical and archeological evidence for the Norsemen reaching the new world, so that is not in doubt.
I was really intrigued so I signed up.

Essentially, this is a service which connects to different email accounts of your choosing - Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail etc. and then sends email via those.

I haven't tested it all the way, but in many scenarios when emails are sent via an application, the server essentially does the same thing, except that, IMHO, it takes a bit more knowhow.

In this case, you set up email services under your emailjs account one time and then everything is handled via Javascript on the front end via their servers.

Quite nice, come to think of it.

Except the privacy aspect, of course!

When we set up it up like this on our servers, the only parties that can read it are the recipients, the service provider and us. In this case, emailjs also gets to have a look at the emails.
To me, I always feel that the sci-fi authors of that era believed in progress being fueled by noble causes, i.e., improving mankind. In reality, it is rather driven by commercial interest and while this has undoubtedly lead to amazing inventions across many fields, it can at the same time be a limiting factor. But I think this fact is more or less inevitable given how our society and economy are structured.

We have a new Jim Crow, and it's called protected groups.

>But everyone has a gender! Everyone's gender is protected!

Yes, Jim Crow was separate but equal. No one believed it then, no one believes it today.

Universalism is seen as right wing today which is so backwards really have no idea how we got here.
MCUs are more of an issue and of course migrating between different families is a huge headache. However the problem extends to other active components too - regulators, interface ICs, sensors, anything really - and there are opportunities to work with the smaller manufacturers there.
That's interesting, and yes there was significant infiltration, by a handful of dedicated underground spies. But the idea that there was widespread communist sympathies or subversion needing some kind of crackdown, there's no evidence for that. Quoting from the article above:

>As anyone who is reasonably familiar with the history of the period must know, the premise for most of the McCarthy rehabilitation literature is a sort of blanket historical amnesia. To credit the revisionist argument, you must believe that mid-century liberalism denied the threat of domestic and global communism and took no stand against it. But this was scarcely the case. Not only mainstream liberals, but also most left-liberals and social democrats adopted a staunchly anticommunist stance from the middle 1940s onward. The model here, of course, is Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., whose seminal work The Vital Center identified the dangers of communism and castigated the muddle-headed thinking of those on the left who thought it either possible or advisable to cooperate with communists even while disagreeing with their larger objectives. But Schlesinger was scarcely alone. The social democrat Walter Reuther employed stern and even draconian measures to purge communists from the CIO in the 1940s. And even the perennial Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas supported efforts to ban communists from teaching positions on the grounds that they had surrendered their right to academic freedom through subservience to Moscow.
Chip shortage is over, hardware has reasonable price tags for the first time since the pandemic started(or longer, I lost track of time).
It was much worse in the late 80's/early 90's, and we didn't go down an even worse route then.
I mentioned this in another HN post from yesterday about beancount, one of the tools that uses this approach.

My beancount file is nearly 3 years old now and I love it. Maybe it's overkill for personal finances, but I've tried countless other PF tracking tools and online services and none of them have the flexibility you get from tools like this. For example, tracking RSU vests, my house purchase etc.

Combining beancount with Fava gives you a nice visualisation tool as well which auto updates when it notices the underlying beancount file has changed.

I edit the file in Emacs using the beancount-mode, it's actually the only thing I use Emacs for but I have a bunch of custom elisp functions that add things to the file whilst I'm editing it.

I don't bother with any auto txn importers, which does make it a manual process but it's like 10-15 minutes a week at most. Additionally most of my purchases are generally quite rote so a lot of them are just copy/paste from previous txns and modify the date and amount. This might not scale if I have a partner, but for now just Emacs + vim keybindings + a few custom elisp fns + a little patience works for me!
I don't know about that, there are lots of people around my age like OP that aren't well represented in personal finance advice columns. My net worth is only around $300k as of today, which I'd imagine is on the lower end of most of these kinds of people (Dartmouth grads, ubermensch, Google engineers etc).
They say so themselves:

> Personal email services allow connecting personal email providers that offer basic email functionality – an email address and an inbox. These include providers like Gmail, Fastmail, Outlook 365, etc'. Personal email services are useful in EmailJS when you need to send a small number of emails to yourself, or need to send emails to other people from your personal email account. Note, your personal email account could be blocked if you go over the daily limit of the email provider, and your email address could be flagged as spam if you send unsolicited emails to multiple recipients. Our general recommendation is to use personal email services only for development purposes or for very low volume usage.

True question: is there a value that elsevier&co are providing? Proofreading or Selecting the articles, by example? If so, even if their price reflect more their de facto monopoly than this value, if we want to replace them we need to also find a way to replace it. Could we outcompete them?
> not as a service that allows you to send email from Javascript, but rather as a service that allows you to create a predefined set of emails via the dashboard, and then just trigger the emails from the Javascript. This is quite similar to how emails are usually sent via a proprietary server code

So... a bold title saying something and then an explanation explicitly saying it was not true.
Bitcoin will never go to zero. Why? There are too many billionaires that will buy the total available supply long before it can get to $0.

Yeah I was wondering about side channel attacks, but L3 cache is already shared so it isn't really any different.
...is this or is this not triggering email from JS? Your paste is also in context to the extent of abuse that can happen to the connected email services.
To be fair no one is saying that SA is peaceful and prosperous. For example Google News is showing me now "Vigilante killings" when I type South Africa, there are a lot of stories about the violence and corruption going on there. A few months earlier there were stories about the water supply collapsing.
I think it's common knowledge that SA is dysfunctional.
Yes this is a moral conundrum, the Apartheid should have ended but the situation didn't really get better for many people in SA. It's a bit like the U.S withdrawal from Afghanistan maybe; it should have happened but no it's probably not gonna improve things for the average Joe there.
I think the biggest advantages are its just a text file, so you can use version control.

Additionally spreadsheets group logic and data - whilst this is very flexible csn get hairy if you are not disciplined.

Beancount files are just text, and the logic part comes from the beancount engine so there is a clean separation.
I guess at some point we're going to have to use a programming language to interface with these things.

Will it be something like the ones used for binary load lifters?

Yepp! Never read Guns,Germs&Steel, but premodern China never really had decentralized steelworking. a cursory google shows that the mongolian words for steel and iron are similar to the ones in Chinese, my conjecture is that the chinese words are actually loaned from a barbarian culture not the other way round.. (genghis khan probably came from a smithy family btw) Maybe this is why the post roman west has always been quicker to adopt bottom-uppitism instead of elitism. it runs in the families..
Not OP but there are some interviews on YouTube called Voices from the Days of Slavery, where former slaves from the US talk about their lives as slaves.

The opening 30s of the interview with a former slave Fountain Hughes always sends shivers down my spine:

Well, the apps have made calling a taxi easier than ever. I haven't ever called a taxi or ordered a meal by phone because of my mild social phobia, and I definitely can't even imagine doing that when drunk or high. But I use taxi apps all the time. It's super easy. That's the point.

Either way, this is an expected result of reducing/eliminating many of the (near-imperceptible) barriers to calling a taxi.
Can I have a link please? I'm a sucker for cheap dedicated servers :).

This looks very nice, would have loved this back when I played more MC with friends. I havent tried it since I am not on my gaming computer, but how would this work in practice? Will I have access to the server to e.g. download the world I'm playing on as a backup?
Sorry I wasn't clear with what I meant stating silos. And I'm all for decentralisation, and value the open effort of Bookwyrm.

Silo: the federation aspect, from what I understand of the currently hosted communities using this tech is making the exploration of books contained within each federated host. Maybe I am wrong in which case I will retract my critic. Peertube suffers the same problem. So a constructive comment would be: decentralisation is great, and if the federation design bridges the gap so that information from each node in the system can be searched then that's a rock solid solution as a repository of books information, reviews and discussions.

Please accept my apologise, I certainly came off as negative and the comment I made was not deserved , especially considering the free and open effort there.

Yeah, but they state it in quite non-obvious terms: "you might hit the rate limit", or "you could be flagged as spam if you send to multiple recipients".

The real risk is that someone finds this script on your website, open, and abuses it for themselves. Which is exactly what spammers already do, from the old sendmail.pl scripts to current vulnerable Wordpress extensions. If an external actor finds this and abuses it, that will be a world of pain.

Worse, if someone was specifically trying to target you for some hurt, the ability to send emails they control directly from your personal account?! There is so much damage you could do with that ability..
Nah, we could still continue to laugh at it like we laugh at beanie babies... Or tulip mania.
The backstory is interesting. The map first showed up in the 1950s, bound into a book that was owned by a Spanish-Italian dealer, Enzo Ferrajoli. He did not explain where it had come from, but that wasn't uncommon in the years after the chaos of WWII.

Ferrajoli sold the book and map for $3,500 to a US dealer, Laurence Witten, who also further obscured its origins[0]. Later, a benefactor purchased it on behalf of Yale, for $300,000

Notably, when Yale announced their discovery of the map, in 1965. The original source, Ferrajoli, was already in prison in Spain, charged with stealing other manuscripts (which he had also sold to Yale the year before)[1]

Given this context, my question is, for special relativity, why do time dilation and length contraction happen?

Place two rulers right next to each other, and their length scales will agree. Now, place them at an angle, and have one ruler measure the other by orthogonal projection. Each of the observers represented by the rulers will conclude that the other one has 'contracted' by a factor given by the cosine of the angle.

Now, add a third ruler to complete the triangle. To go from one vertex to the opposite one, you can either follow along a single ruler, or via a bent path along two rulers. The symmetry has been broken, and the bent path will be objectively longer - that's the twin 'paradox'.

Things are more complicated than that because Minkowski space is non-Euclidean (for example, less time will pass for the travelling twin, ie the bent path will be the 'shorter' one), but if you want a simple analogy, I think that's a pretty decent one...

I see the outline of a public change in attitude towards this sentiment.

With War on Terror and also War on Drugs everyone bought into the premise. Now twenty years later it's more of a stalemate than anything else.

Then came the Corona epidemic where most accepted very serious limits in their freedom, e.g. Ireland introduced curfew.

Now Apple is trying to introduce surveillance of your device. I believe that this idea from Apple is a step too far, in that the public will not accept it on any terms.

Apple has long been promoting privacy, but now they also want to promote surveillance. They can choose one but not both, which is the dilemma Apple is in.

So my hope is that the public will no longer accept overreaction due to a large-scale event and it starts with Apple and phone privacy.
The co-processor runs channel programs autonomously. So "talking" to it is not necessarily bounded by your I/O volume. It's more like passing a quick message to a separate thread to run some operations, and then the other thread can do quite a lot of work.
GoodReads isn't about learning though. It's about books. I think there's value and potential in the niche you've chosen. I want to point out that the "learning" niche is very different than the "book review" niche and comes with its own set of very strong competitors.
This is pretty much what makes it an increasingly difficult sell as an application scales up, and untenable for me personally - at some point, something mission critical like emails cannot be in the hands of a third party, let alone in the hands of a client-side library.
