Forums are awful UX - really bad, it's why all this other stuff exists.

I don't like discord either and don't like the model of megacorps sucking up all our communication and locking it away while creating a massive privacy risk and centralized control.

I think HN and subreddit UX is far superior to forum threads.

I'm also bullish on urbit as a solution to this core issue of solving this in a way that doesn't centralize ownership while also enabling a UI that doesn't suck.

Asking people to use forums will not succeed.

As far as their complaint about real time vs. static, I agree - but I think subreddits are just a better model for this anyway.
Very nice. Start a trend :)
I think there are a bunch of issues with using mailing lists this way, but they are fixable:

1. Moderation tools on mailing lists are extremely rudimentary. A healthy community _needs_ moderation of some sort.

2. A lot of tooling is necessary to make a good mailing list experience. I would expect an inclusive community mailing list to have a web interface for posting and searching, and a separate interface for searching.

3. There's no documentation on setting up email clients to use mailing lists and it isn't a trivial/intuitive process. The email spam problem has made the registration process non-intuitive and often drops emails to/from the list.

4. There's very little documentation on setting up your email client to use a list properly. What are best practices for organizing your inbox around a mailing list? How do you reply to a list? How do you quote a previous response?

5. There's no easy basic flow for folks to get started with. The power of more "modern" approaches is that the default web interface is highly opinionated. This makes it easy to join and easy to participate. When there's no basic flow to use, folks never get to the basics before they get to a point of wanting to customize their flow.

I think a blessed mailing list flow using a webmail client, a web newsgroup/BBS interface (which doesn't exist now sadly), or a blessed email client workflow would go a long way to making mailing lists accessible. Unfortunately because mailing lists are only popular among tech people these days, I doubt you'll see much work on this.
Great work! Looks like you are using HNSWLIB. From what I understand HNSW graph based approach can be memory intensive compared PQ code based approach. FAISS has support for both HNSW and PQ codes. Any plans on extending your work to support PQ code based index in future?
Yes, I hear these two things:

1. If you've previously recovered from Covid you have long term immunity.

and

2. Many many stories 1st and 2nd hand detailing reinfection (with symptoms) -- people who have definitively been infected at least twice, symptomatically.

I don't think both 1 and 2 can be true, unless "long term immunity" means something different than my layperson interpretation.

The subscriber location tracking performed by cell towers is part of the e911 system. It's pretty accurate by design. Now how much and how long that data is retained is up to the mobile network provider. They've had no qualms about selling it in the past.
is there a json endpoint ? I'd love to make an emacs bridge :)
When I signed up (last month), there was a free trial in place. Is it gone now?
It’s great this worked for them!

But I don’t see a comparison to the obvious counter argument that you could hire marketing instead.
Sorry, I'm not trying to say that these things are alike. I'm more curious about the socioeconomic that drive these commodities in different ways. I guess since everyone is telling me that they are different means this point didn't come across. I thought it was obvious since they didn't move in the same manner and I was pointing out different effects to begin with.
I've recently switched from PIA to Mullvad for similar reasons. I do wish Mullvad had a plan with a larger device limit. With PIA, I could cover my household with a single plan. Mullvad's five device limit is insufficient. Maintaining multiple accounts is just tedious. Aside from that, I've been pretty happy with the switch.
To be honest both parts are pretty hard. Getting a startup or even just a small SaaS business working is like a series of AND logic gates, all of which are pretty hard and must be done to a somewhat decent degree for it to work
Geofence warrants are analogous to getting a warrant for the check-in log at a hotel after a guest is murdered. So long as there is probable cause, this should not be a legal issue. See https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/probable_cause:

> A judge may issue a search warrant if the affidavit in support of the warrant offers sufficient credible information to establish probable cause.

When you use these types of technology, you are essentially checking in everywhere you go.

Does a high quality version of the Ultimate C64 Talk exist somewhere? I only see fairly low bitrate versions of it. (The embed on Michael's website is dancing postage stamp-sized.)
No, most countries allow you to purchase a citizen and depending on your ancestry or knowledge of several country constitutions you could just walk in and demand citizenship.

St. Kitts & Nevis, accepted over 100 places, fairly powerful, purchase price at about 100k. Real estate can be a trust where you have partial ownership of a parcel which value is in excess of any amount needed to prove financial interest.

Antigua and Barbuda, same 100k gets you papers and a passport in a week with 150+ countries.

Price doubles for St. Lucia, but you're talking about 150 countries of visa free for 200k.

UN passports actually are highly suspicious, simply because of the diplomatic ties it contains - and bad image you can present the country in. You're there to highlight a political event, not to take leisure or secure travel. Very different circumstances.

Even in the places where land is "cheap", it's only cheap for middle to higher income people in that area, or people doing income / wealth arbitrage from expensive areas. It's not cheap at all for lower income people from the cheap area.

so chrome is "evil" because web developers will be able to create apps for ChromeOS in addition to web apps? Or you are claiming that web apps will only work on chrome?
- Cyberghost

- PIA

- ZenMate

- ExpressVPN

And unless I interpret the article incorrectly, they bought all of these over the last 3 years.

They also bought VPN review sites (affiliate marketers as I prefer to call them) and changed the rankings, according to this article:

Swinging back to the article in question - this has devastating results on the victims when the questions are ignored by others in authority. So in addition to questioning authority, those in authority also need to be held accountable for their actions.
Profit margin is more useful metric to determine if you're being gouged -

Grocery stores: < 3% Profit margin, huge inventory risk.

App store: > 70% profit margin, zero inventory risk.

Put another way: If grocery stores cut gross margin by a couple points they'd be out of business. They are basically charging the absolute bare minimum they need to make a profit. The reason? Competition.

Apple could drop their App Store gross margin by 50% and still have one of the most lucrative operations in the world.
Given GM's history between recall lawsuits in the past and "activist" shareholders in the present, I'd lean way more towards "more cautious". GM is an American company more prone to certain types of US lawsuits than other manufacturers and a lot of their PR has always been full of CYA, and also currently in a multi-year battle against some shareholders trying to intentionally tank GM's electric efforts (presumably so that Tesla "wins"?).
You could, if you have money for it. Plausible's MRR was $146 at the time.
Java is yes, but the JVM runs other things and things like JRuby use the JVM bytecode for invoke_dynamic. There were a few things rewritten to use that bytecode from what I remember but it's been a while since I've worked in that area.

I have been hearing stories of cheap chinese knockoffs being co-mingled into the supply chain of home building materials. Have you heard of any of this? I hate having to deal with Chinese supply chain crap from Amazon and my hope is that the local American stores are the last bastion of not having to worry about this sort of stuff.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve had several money and marketing oriented people reach out and that sounds nice but the alkalis heel is the commitment. Your deadlines are not they’re deadlines etc. That’s the thing about these marketing and people oriented cofounders, they’re jumpy.

Another thing is that with most people on YC match-mate is your most often being used as a listening post to whatever they’re working on not vice versa.
Crypto is a current attempt to reinvent finance from scratch and all it has achieved so far is demonstrating that perhaps things aren’t so bad the way they are.
> The problem with mailing lists is that anti-spam efforts, both on technical and policy fronts, have provided many blockages to their successful use.

The real problem with mailing lists are businesses who have a vested interest in permitting spam to be delivered to users' inboxes.
I surely wouldn't do 6 hours of unpaid work. Not unless very desperate.
Repo looks a little stale to me? I wonder how similar this is to the Xcode Cloud beta QEMU used by Apple someone spotted https://twitter.com/khaost/status/1410332951963869185?lang=e...
really depends on the mailing list software. unfortunately there is basically google grouops and/or mailman2/mailman3. for self hosting there isn't even a choice at all: mailing lists suffer even more from what forums suffer as well: little software choice that ticks all the boxes for different people with different needs.

however the real (search) power of the mailing lists is of course that you have the mails locally for the lists where you are subscribed to...

i remember forum searches becoming so heavy, site wide search forms had to be hidden behind sign up walls... and it was mostly poor keywords search, forget about full text.

with local emails at least i get a shot at organizing and searching for it. try saving a local copy of a forum thread...
I love how your reasoning for the inclusion of Bok Choy is because there are Asian restaurants in SF, rather than the fact that it's one of the most popular vegetables in the most populous country on Earth.
Why do we not expand capacity? Where is the planning here? Where are the national guard hospitals we setup and then took down last year. We are in a pandemic and it’s not like that’s new news.
Great results for "sauna". Lots of Web 1.0 pages discussing building plans and displaying pictures of individually built, traditional, unique, old saunas on some property.

The Google result are all blogspam or sales pages for cheap shipped saunas. Lots of "IR" results. Phony health benefit pages. Stock photos solely of beautiful new hotel gyms.

I've noticed this problem with Google results for quite some time. Sadly, the new content being created of the top variety is mostly being done within private Facebook groups that can't be easily searched, linked, or archived.
> communicate the constraints they are missing without mocking them, humiliating them, and forcing them into a corner

This. We need debate that's not about "dunking".
There’s not that much wrong with Facebook or Instagram. They are what we make them. You won’t have a new kind of community unless you somehow create a new kind of human. Or unless you introduce some kind of requirements for people who wish to enter. But that’s maybe “elitist”, right? :)
As others have said: sedentary lives in front of screens, declining nutrition and rising obesity are all culprits. Western media loves to gawk at Japan from a cultural perspective but I would be careful about drawing social parallels there. It's easy to cherry-pick social trends to confirm bias one way or another. But the physical and material conditions people live in are very tangible and demonstrably unhealthy.
It tracks which towers you are connected to according to the article. No triangulation or precise location.
If you want to see some of the standards shaping this, check out the Digital Identity Foundation (DIF) [1] and the W3C Decentralized Identifiers Working Group (DID) [2]. I am on the fringes of both groups, from past involvement and some great people I know in both.

The “explosions” you hear from car fires are almost always first the tires popping, and later the airbags going off. I watched a car fire near me last year and the firefighters didn’t even flinch when the loud bangs happened.
I don't particularly buy it. Again, sure, maybe it has a statistically significant effect, but it is undoubtedly dwarfed by people chugging sugary drinks and being more sedentary. A casual search suggests sugar consumption has increased 9 fold since the 1800s and 2 fold since the 1900s. The poor in particular are cornered into purchasing sugary foods due to weird economics around corn subsidies. And what do you know? They're the fattest by far.

If it were mostly environmental you'd see broader gains. variation. But in my little bubble in upper middle class Massachusetts, I don't know ANYONE who is obese. In other areas of the country it's hard to find anyone who isn't.
My name retrieved the "dead pornstar list". Unexpected.
yeah, this thread "hurts my brain" because people aren't getting that my reply was sarcastic.
Aoptix was a company that did much than this more years ago. Founded in 2000 and despite 16 years and $150M raised, they could not find much of a market. The Aoptix system could transmit 4x this Google system, had further reach, and achieved 5 nines reliability.

The main problem with wireless optical backhaul is the high cost. It cannot compete with RF wireless.
there is something more going on.

So much change in recent times.
"surprising" indicates that the expectation was the candidates were supposed to be able to perform the task. Perhaps you read some sarcasm into the comment that wasn't explicit?
Ok. If you formulate it those ways, you make it seem as if the vaccine does not make you develop antibodies (as if 'antibodies' implied 'not vaccine') :)
It's amazing how many of the projects featured on GD end up being sold not long after completion.

The most dramatic one that I noted was a very contemporary museum looking home. The owner stressed how long they had spent planning it, and how you only get once chance, and it would be his dream home. He completes the house in the Surrey woods (it was beautiful, to be sure). Sells within a year and buys property on the Costa del Sol in Spain.
Are the authors of this paper present/the ones who posted?

This is really interesting. One thing I'm curious about -- is this technique applicable to applications which do JIT "compilation" in the business-logic/abstract sense of the term?

Realworld usecase: Hasura is fundamentally a Haskell GraphQL-to-SQL JIT compiler/transpiler. It parses, lowers to an internal IR format, and then translates to a specific SQL dialect.

I'm wondering if any of this would carry over to a usecase like that?

https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/server/src-lib/Hasura/RQL/IR/Select.hs
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/server/src-lib/Hasura/Backends/Postgres/Translate/Select.hs

Nonetheless, will be interesting to see whether this technique will get adopted by LLVM or some of the major WASM runtimes. I won't pretend to understand the majority of what the writeup stated, but on paper it seems a huge speedup?
I second this. I tried to find a marketing cofounder for the past year. All I got is fresh graduates with little experience or skills. And covid does not help.

Yeah, we saw the real start of our growth when we hired a dedicated sales and marketing person. They didn’t take any equity and they weren’t even that expensive (ignoring commission). I’m not sure it would have made sense to bring them on as a co-founder.
I haven't been paying attention. How did that end?

EDIT: Oh, Kape purchased them. I assume that's it.

BPA/BPB in plastics is another source. Unfortunately, this one is basically unavoidable since even if one doesn't own any of those plastics at home, there's bound to be some food product that uses a plastic container. Even more so, we don't know anything about how long it takes to leach into the food, what plastics do/don't contain it, stuff like that.

Plastics should just be banned from touching food entirely.
Also, now apparently releasing direct to YT ...

I'd also add that the impact on the bottom line isn't as severe as many think. GM is struggling with shortages, but they also just reported 2.8B in net income and 4B in cash flow. Their P/E ration is <6 at the time that I'm writing this. INTC is hugely profitable with a PE in the low double digits.

A lot of companies are trading at values that don't look at all unusual given their actual financial returns.
I like this question! Let's assume a<b, x<y, and intervals are open.

Okay: max(a,x)<min(b,y), using three comparisons.

Better: (a<x)?(b>x):(a<y), using two.

Best: (a<y)&&(b>x), using either one or two.
Facebook created "Facebook Events," later renamed "Facebook Local" for iOS and Android. And nobody I know has ever heard of it.

I think they do have one, it just doesn't look like a feed. It is "built in" across a number of apps on Apple devices like iMessage, Photo Streams, Memojis, Calendar, and Facetime. They're even adding Status to iMessage in iOS15.

That supports what others have commented, which is that obesity is likely the main culprit, at least in terms of low testosterone. The US has a much worse obesity problem than Japan does.
Your first article states that the risk of a breakthrough case for someone with natural immunity is 13 times higher if the infection took place 6 months ago. It also states that vaccinating improves protection for those people.

This would seem to contradict your original claim (and validate my reply), since your statement was predicated on the assumption that someone who was naturally infected in 2020 has as much protection today as someone infected a month ago (or someone who was vaccinated a month ago).

Those 103 million Americans infected last year (well, the survivors anyway) would absolutely benefit from taking a vaccine now if they haven't already.
I really can't tell if this is sarcasm or not but I'll act in good faith that it isn't.

Fox has been selling out of control inflation since Obama and once Trump came in the story magically disappeared (even before Trump took office and could make policy decisions) and then after he was gone it reappeared. In fact, the stories appeared even before Biden took office. Similarly stories about the DOW being all time high appeared before Trump took office. As if the DOW or S&P500 being at an all time high isn't a normal occurrence and the index operating like they should but rather that this was because of the market "being excited" about a "more business friendly president."

Fox wants to sell you that the world is shit when the democrats are in office. CNN wants to sell you that the world is shit when the republicans are in office. News does move markets. Same with presidential tweets.
Yup. All I ever found was freeloaders who don't put in nearly the same effort. Serious business people who will relentlessly try to get feedback, sell the product and make deals are pretty rare. But when you have one, it's worth gold.
Not in my hometown in The Netherlands. We had a high profile murder by stabbing, a suspect and the police was denied the information you are talking about ( I think ).

The case was high profile because the victim was in his early twenties and seemed to be stabbed 'at random' during his jogging.
That's odd, I'm in London/UK and when I use Mullvad's London servers I can usually nearly max out a Gbit connection.
AFAICR, it started in the mid-to-late 90s, although as with all things web in that period, was a non-standard cobbling together of feature and functionality using whatever technologies were available, while browsers themselves lurched in the dark and added features.

It's more akin to saying "We want to do this thing that's never been done on the web before, and no one ever thought to do. How do we assemble it out of this box of scraps that HTML and browsers currently give us?"

Consequently, there was probably proto-AJAX with ActiveX, the early js landscape, and iframes. But it would have certainly depended on where you worked.

Critically, internet connections were much slower (in latency and bandwidth), so partial page loads were more of an advantage.
Marketing is the entire game once you get your product/service to where you believe it should be.

I think that's pretty firmly established. It's also a leading cause of ED.
Cell phone tower triangulation has been around for so long that there's decades-old movies to its effect. To claim that there's no triangulation in current tech is, IMO, an intentionally malicious claim.
Most job boards started out by scraping other job boards. I know, very ouroboros, but once they got enough traction, then they had natural demand where people submitted new jobs.

For example, Pieter Levels on building RemoteOK: https://levels.io/remote-ok/

He aggregated a bunch of other job boards first, then once the site got traction, people submitted directly to RemoteOK.
The vast, vast majority of criminals are too dumb to do any of that.
Yes, and yes.

But come on – should a punctuation style guide prevent misleading quotations? Can a punctuation style guide even do so?
It works. Nice job.
I thought I remember reading it is dropping across the line, including for fit and healthy individuals. Is that not right, and if it is, what could that mean?

Sorry for lack of source, it’s not my area.
Here is one of the challenges with this space. What can be used to suppress misinformation can also be used to suppress information as well. Doing nothing has been weaponized. Doing something will be as well. And we have plenty of examples of things which have been ruled "harmful misinformation" that later turned out not to be. With consequences for those who posted what later turned out to be mainstream.

A few examples. There is a reasonable possibility that COVID-19 escaped from a lab. Vaccine passports for COVID-19 are likely to become a thing. The conservatorship of Britney Spears is unconstitutional, and has been a vehicle for grand larceny.

So how do we suppress harmful misinformation, such as that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread fraud. And not provide tools that can be misappropriated against truths which are inconvenient to people with money and influence?
So is this counter-argument. Who decides what's absurd? Two people may have completely different and legitimate views on what's absurd.
The front page makes it look fairly polished with its “Try now” button. The documentation has a disclaimer that says otherwise:

> This project is an experimental concept. Code quality may not meet your expectations. Don’t use in production. In case of any issues/proposals, feel free to open an issue.

This seems like inconsistent messaging. The front page should make it clearer that they’re in previews.
