> Doesn't every good have some level of money required to be able to afford it?

Yes, of course. The point here is that a carbon tax further skews the situation in favour of the rich. We, as a society, accept the current situation as a compromise between fairness and "market efficiency", and hence are worried by shifts away from it.

To a large extent this is a "status quo bias", but it is natural — if people could afford something until now, but are suddenly being told that they won't be able to, they'll be, rightly or wrongly, unhappy.

And here we again have the assertion that ARM engineers think very hard and therefore never make mistakes.

Do you think Intel engineers don't think very hard? Oops, Pentium 4. Oops Itanium. And that was after Pentium Pro wiped the floor with DEC, Sun, MIPS and the rest.

on a more serious note, who thinks distributed supply chain management could really help things on large scale ? (supposedly free, consistent, 24/7 tracking of items and data) I see so much friction for that in companies .. it made me wonder.
Why do you think they would do that?
I think you are correct. What probably happened is that I read the license wrongly when it started talking about “sales” (FSF apparently has a note related to this “oddity” [1]). Having a second look at it, I now think it looks a lot like the SIL Open Font License. Thank you, I stand corrected.

> 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)

Your conjecture about etymology makes no sense as the Chinese character 鐵 for iron dates back at least to small seal script[1] from a cursory search[2], and small seal script predates Genghis Khan by about 1400 years.

Bronze metallurgy was in China for even longer,[3] pretty sure that was way before there was any meaningful contact with "barbarians".

If USD became worthless, people would stop denominating the value of bitcoin in USD. This (or less drastic but still major fluctuations of USD) would complicate questions about how bitcoin's value had changed over time, but I'm not seeing how it would create ambiguity over whether bitcoin had 'gone to zero' or not.

mkfs.btrfs is fine - I didn't make that up, that's exactly the output when I ran those commands on my laptop just now. Other filesystems don't handle this situation very well or at all.

An NFT is just a number on a ledger. The fact it represents ownership of anything is an agreement, and there’s nothing about the NFT itself that enforces that agreement. What are you going to do about it if someone, maybe the artist or their estate decides to disagree?
Isn"t thst you (as manufacturer) can make mire money by getting data from customers and sell it?
My ledger will be 10 years old this year. I don't use much cash, so data entry is handled by reading CSVs from my bank accounts and a machine learning thing I put together to "guess" what account the transaction is in (plus a fast auto-complete thing to correct the guess if it's wrong). I like that it's flexible enough to track all my assets if I choose to.
How much does it cost for an author to publish in a Nature or Science journal under Plan S?
No, you don’t get it. Once you have the root of trust you can download new signed packages in perpetuity and know they came from the developer. They can be delivered over http/smpt/telnet/BitTorrent/ftp/whatever.

You can literally pull it from a compromised machine with an active attacker and it doesn’t matter. It either has integrity and it’s safe or it fails to install.

That’s a huge difference from encouraging people to exec curl statements from random websites loading JavaScript from ad networks, trackers, etc, etc. You’re not only trusting the original dev, you’re now having to trust the web host and all of the other locations the page sources JavaScript from.

This is why any systems serious about security used signed packages. There are way too many systems/parties in between that can knowingly or unknowingly comprise https downloads. Windows updates, Linux updates (for the majority of package managers), iOS updates, Android updates, etc.

The trust model of “curl | sh” is severely worse than signed packages. They are in no way equivalent.
Farspeak – Modern Translation Management
Hi!

I'm trying to solve my team's current pain point when dealing with translations, so I'm trying to build a SaaS to reduce the friction.

The dystopian future movies were right.
You’re literally chastising here:

The whole context of this story is covered by multiple articles and all of them are completely relevant and happened BEFORE GoDaddy ultimately took action to de-platform the website.

I assume you also read the Gizmodo article. If you did, you'll find that the article mentions and linked various methods used to directly attack the website which can be described as 'script-kiddie' and 'hacktivism' behaviour, before they themselves suggested their own effective method in getting GoDaddy to de-platform the website.

To go further, I substantiated all of my claims with other relevant and reputable sources that gives more detail and covers the context of the whole story. Not just Gizmodo's ones. The whole story cannot be covered with only one source from one news site.

So, had you 'actually' read the article rather than only just the title in the first place like many others in this thread, you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself with laughable nonsense like '4d chess type of sarcasm trap' and resorting to baseless suggestions that I directly accused GoDaddy Inc. of taking down the website as 'hacking' or them being 'hacktivists' themselves.
I think the mainstream does care about decentralisation, but only in so far as it affects the final experience. Censorship on major social networks is a great example. People absolutely do care, but starting their own Reddit (for instance) is far outside of their abilities. Where would you even begin?

They also don’t care about how it is implemented, just so long as it works. Sometime I feel like the HN crowd cares more about what language a product was written in than how well it serves their needs!

What is required is a platform which combines the UX of a centralised service with the ability to easily spin up new instances, is open-source, security audited, etc. etc.

Oh, I'm all in favour of "harsh consequence" for people for making bad smells. I'd start with drivers with engines that belch fumes and particulates because they are defective or out-of-adjustment.

We should aalso inflict "consequence" on the SUV drivers who clog the roads in the town I live in; I have medically-compromised lungs, so the stink of diesel fumes isn't just an annoyance for me.

Let's also punish people who use wood-fired stoves in built-up areas. I live in a smoke-controlled zone, but for some reason builders are allowed to install these stoves in new-build homes, provided the model of stove meets certain standards. Well, that's cool; if the stove itself is safe, it must be the owner, operating it incorrectly. So let's give them some consequence too.

These offences aren't much like smoking a ciggie, which last about 7 minutes; the amount of fumes produced by a ICE per minute is much greater than that produced by a smoker, and the ICE generally runs for much longer than 7 minutes. Wood-fired stoves are normally run continuously for several hours, and not for heat; they are used to generate a nostalgic and aesthetic effect. If that harms others, or even if it just creates a bad smell, let's be harsh.

I'm also keen to impose "harsh consequence" on dog owners who allow their dog to deposit smelly stuff at my front gate, and who then fail to pick up that shit and take it away with them. This is a particular problem if you get a 3-week cold snap; 3 weeks-worth of dogshit all thaws at the same time, and the smell of dogshit coming out of deep-freeze pervades entire neighbourhoods. And of course, pot-smoke doesn't contain toxoplasmosis.
My initial interpretation:

Previously we thought quantum algorithms were radical improvements over classical algorithms. Rather, where this improvement exists at all, it is actually coming from assumptions about the /non-computational/ 'input' preparation.

Here, analogously, we thought we had a better CPU, but we were actually just switched the HDD to an SSD.

I'd like to be more radical here and say that, perhaps, everything significant about quantum computers has nothing to do with their computational properties (ie., their discrete/sequential properties). But rather, comes from exploiting continuous features of their underlying material states.

I'd be grateful if any specialist were able to comment on that; as I think, were it true, we should probably say that "quantum computers" arent (mostly) computers at all -- they are more like "quantum hard-drives".

All our languages are Turing-complete. None actively prevent any sort of programming,

Thus, to meaningfully claim that a language supports some programming technique, it has to automate it to some appreciable degree. C manifestly does not; it automates nothing but stack frames and register allocation. Every detail is hand-coded, with every opportunity to make trivial, hard-to-spot mistakes that nothing but exhaustive testing can bring to your attention.
How is this different from SmtpJS.com ?
I have created an app with such a hybrid approach as the part if the model was very dynamic. The idea was that I would slowly migrate the stable bits to proper columns, but in practice that never happened. Partly also because it is not really broken, and the performance is actually quite good. You can add partial indexes etc to improve where needed.

But writing analytycal queries is definitely more complicated so the cost of not having a "normal" data model adds up over time. To allow business analysts to work with the data I endend up creating a a bunch of views om the data without JSONB fields as a quick fix. So though the approach worked, I am not sure I would do it again.

How is the system supposed to be able to tell whether a cryptocurrency holder engaged in laundering money? I recall reading the evidence is easy to completely erase with a few conversions across coins/exchanges/tumblers. This would never be possible in the traditional financial system—except if you use cash, which in large transactions is considered itself a red flag for that reason.
It means nothing.

Archeological evidence found in the 1960s proves quite clearly that Norsemen reached the Americas 500 years before Columbus. In fact this evidence turned up - and got quite a lot of attention - in the 1960s, which is when this map was first published. But by the 1970s, analysis of the ink made it fairly clear it was a forgery.

This news is just that a more detailed analysis has been done, proving the map long believed to be a forgery was definitely a forgery. But the map was never really considered evidence of anything in particular; it was always questionable.
If the API does not expose a to field, what exactly is the point?

Seems like you need to use a template field to modify the ‘to’ field, but that would still require you to pass the template value in the request.
> not only American kids

I doubt this is just Americans. Even limiting ourselves to adults from first world countries, I would estimate that:

- Less than 10% know the difference between mean and median.

- Less than 2% could write a simple proof.

That's unfair: most people 2000 years ago couldn't even read. You're comparing the average joe with the top intellectuals of their time. I'm pretty certain that anybody with a decent scientific education today has knowledge that effectively subsumes or replaces everything the Greeks knew.

I've found that making a homemade version of foods you love make you realize either how unhealthy something is. It's also helped me discover what I'm really looking for in some foods, not just the sugar or salt.

Some foods actually have great textures and contrasts, but they're all buried under the barrage of salt, unhealthy fats and sugars added by manufacturers.

For example, I've made my own chicken karaage that's as crispy as fast food fried chicken but not as oily.

>Most (not all) plain text accounting implementations use signed amounts instead of debits and credits. This makes them "double entry light" perhaps, but it has been a rather successful simplification, intuitive to most newcomers.

They shouldn't do themselves down. I am an accountant and I have used several large systems that do exactly this in the database. It is also by far the preferred way to export a trial balance or gl account from any system to excel. It is the norm in the industry and in no way an innovation of plain text accounting.

This result is only about one kind of quantum algorithm.

I don't agree with the characterization of quantum computers as being more like hard drives. If anything this result pushes in the opposite direction. Quantum algorithms work best when they use an extremely small amount of data; the complexity of querying data can give classical computers a foothold.
