This book is an excellent start and the author has made it available for free as a PDF (you can also get it on Amazon)

http://efficientfrontier.com/ef/0adhoc/ifyoucan.pdf

It lays out an effective retirement strategy in the first paragraph or so, and spends the rest of the book explaining it. Short and easy read. The strategy has to be adapted somewhat for non-Americans - if you're Canadian, the adaptations can be found at https://canadiancouchpotato.com/.

Like I said, it's a start, but it also recommends a lot of good and trustworthy resources to continue your learning after you read it. I found it through /r/personalfinance as the other commenter suggested.
Your metric seems silly given that there are several groups of people actively trying to kill each other for religious, ideological, or ethnic reasons in various parts of the world.

People in the US may well hate each other more than people in most peaceful developed countries, sure. But “this planet” is a big place.
I still send hand-written invitations to social events, and hand-written letters of thanks for social events I'm invited to.

Did you pick up a fork? Pick up a pen!
More like pictures of modern child abuse, child slavery (IE: ownership, sale, etc), and brutal torturous murder.

Basically anything you've thought of the NSA or other intelligence agencies intercepting, it was wide out in the open there. The types of things you'd see kids telling themselves about urban legends of the "darkweb", well, it was extremely real and in the open on Freenet...
I didn’t say I can’t see a use case, did I?
I asked if people use it for that. You simply never hear from people praising Freenet as a tool for censorship resistance. Nowhere near the same awareness as TOR or even Secure Scuttlebutt.
I can confirm noticing the same, and I'd say there was a huge change in 2018/2019. After that it started to get _real weird_.

It reminds me heavily of the Dead Internet Theory.
To reach for a lowbrow Twister quote "Look, all I'm saying is don't fold the maps." Are the paper maps you use available flat or tubed?

I've learnt from this thread that Ordnance Survey produce a surprising number of formats beyond the common pre-folded maps, even including custom runs¹ that also fix my trapped-on-a-map-boundary complaint. Peering through the window of my local outdoor supplies shop this afternoon showed only a rack of the folded ones sadly.

You mean, pay Fastly or Cloudflare to run your swarm for you, instead of running it yourself on your users' computers?
This was too harsh, sorry
> the question reduces to whether it's knowingly and materially false that the exclusive right was allegedly infringed.

> If a known bad-faith/inaccurate allegation suffices to make the exclusive right allegedly infringed, then the statement is true and there was no perjury.

I didn’t read after this, because if that were the determining question for the crime of perjury, every person and their lawyer who filed an affidavit in a case that eventually failed would be a criminal. Fortunately it is not. It is not possible to perjure yourself about the answer to a question that nobody in the universe knows for sure until a judge decides it. It is impossible to meet the definition of perjury in this fashion; you have to know it was false at the time you made the statement. Nobody knows whether an allegation of infringement will turn out to be true when they file a DMCA notice. They cannot know it.

Let me say that again: nobody is waiting with baited breath for the decision in a court case to find out if they have perjured themselves by filing it. I don’t know what planet you are living on if you think that happens. DMCA perjury most certainly does not cover the allegation of infringement that you think it does anyway, so maybe next time read the law before running with it all the way out the stadium and into a nearby river. (Edit: you did read the law I suppose. Reading laws is difficult; the way you reduced the question was fatally flawed. Partly because you did not understand that perjury is a crime with a specific definition outside the DMCA, not a punishment, and partly because… well, the way you reduced the question was fatally flawed.)

There’s a stack exchange answer where someone walks through it slowly for you: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/51541/has-anyone-bee...
Yeah, would you look at that. One of them got a BS Forbes article written about herself. This is wild.

What do you think the deal is here? Social climber parents who believe their own BS? Kid wants to make it as an influencer and this is just a handy, vacant persona to step into?
Maybe Barrin92 is in the People's Republic of China, where movies criticizing the government are illegal.
I never said anything about that. I asked what people use it for and basically if it’s got any traction, besides being an interesting idea.
So is dollar's intrinsic value.
Supercharge Your Raspberry Pi
We do all of our testing on production traffic, and we have servers in IX'es around the world.
> What if one of your neighbors is a maniac who streams killing people, or a botnet owner, or a military drone operator working from home, or just a domestic abuser? Have you asked your provider to only join the “decent people” network? If not, you are actively helping bad people right now.

But they weren't asking about whether the network had some users doing "super-illegal" things. They asked if it was roughly all the users. So that analogy isn't even close to fitting.
> Would refresh the front page and would get another scam in first position

I have a suspicion that their system simply doesn't reconstruct recommendation lists instantly.

I've been marking a lot of videos (of certain channels) as "not interested" in the past, and remember having the same frustration. The videos wouldn't go away after a page refresh. But after about a day or two you'd stop getting videos from unwanted channels if you're persistent enough with your marking, and if you don't click very similar videos from other channels or videos from the same channel (even accidentally).

They react much faster to what you do watch. The processing of data about what you do not want to watch is seemingly of much lower priority. Good thing, though, that it's of any priority at all.

I suppose it must be somewhat similar with these reports. The buildup is rather slow, but in the end it should work.
I have a friend who writes decent poetry. I asked him how he learned it. He laughed, and said he started by just copying existing poems to send to his girlfriend. Then he began modifying and customizing the poems. Then he just wrote his own.

And so it goes, for most any skill.
Yeah, crazy talk...
You're conflating (intentionally?) Bitcoin the system vs Bitcoin Script. Nobody claims the Script in a vacuum is Turing complete which is important and by design, including the article which clearly says "Each step in running the Turing machine is triggered by a Bitcoin transaction."

Others have explained this too, so forgive me if your account age combined with Greg's precense, your arguments style, and the very peculiar coincidence that your handle matches a known BSV proponent on Reddit who Greg just happened to tag in connection with this post suggest you are being disingenuous.
Ask HN: Games for Team Bonding
I run a bi-weekly game for my team to help team bonding. Common games we've tried are Jackbox and Among Us, which have been pretty successful. Less successful are things like VR games which require everyone to have a VR headset (only some people have them).

What I'm looking for:
- Online multi-player (somewhere in 3-10 players)
- Can run on mac or PC (or supports cross-play)
- Vaguely SFW
- Can finish a match in ~45 mins.
- No recurring monthly subscription
Is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avid_Matador along the similar lines?
There are multiple possible outcomes - one is that you will teach people to properly compartmentalize what they say in the family/among friends from what they say in public/in school.

Actually, coming from Czech Republic, this was the norm when the communist party was still in power - it was clear that you had to say different things (or rather, not to say certain things) in public from what you could talk about with family and close trusted friends.

Children have been taught this from young age, resulting in adults being to do this compartmentalization almost automatically. No wonder, it was a survival skill basically - you never know who could be an informant or just opportunist to use any anti-party things you say against you for personal gain.

Its actually quite interesting to see people who don't come from this background and actually say what they really think in the public! ;-)
It's amazing the huge amount of the world's ills that ultimately can be traced back to advertising. Online social networks have only turbocharged it.
You cannot do that through freenet though : freenet does not work in a server-client way. At its core, it is more like ipfs : it shares static files. That means you can share static websites / blogs / even mail and bbs. All serverless though
Which isn't too expensive if you have paying customers. Doesn't make people angry when they are on data cap or trying to do something else on their network. Also doesn't have to deal with endless NAT and middlebox issues.

But often ISPs will willingly host the content for free since it saves them money as well. Steam and netflix have caches inside ISP datacenters.
I wonder if you could steer clients away from connections where the NIC and storage nodes are mismatched.

Something like close the connection after N requests/N minutes if the nodes are mismatched, but leave it open indefinitely if they match.

There's of course a lot of ways for that to not be very helpful. You'd still have only a 25% of getting a port number that hashes to the right node the next time (assuming tcp port number is involved at all, if it's just src and dest ips then client connections from the same IP would always hash the same, and that's probably a big portion of your clients), and if establishing connections is expensive enough (or clients aren't good at it) then that's a negative. Also if a stream's files don't tend to stay on the same node, then churning connections to get to the right node doesn't help if the next segment is on a different node. I'm sure there are other scenarios too.

I know some other CDN appliance setups do use multiple IPs, so you probably could get more, but it would add administrative stress.
All sarcasm aside, thank you for adding a bit of perspective to my day.
It was Spy vs Spy for me
> Looking into it made me realize traditional banks aren't really evil- they are kept under tight government regulations that forces them to take any customer. Even the ones that make them no money. No I'll be sticking with €15 per year account.

Are banks really required to take all customers?
We have servers in IX locations where there is a lot of traffic. Its not my area of expertise (being a kernel hacker, not a network architect), but our CDN load does not spill back to EC2.

The biggest impact I have to QoE is when I crash a box, but clients are architected to be resilient against that.
There are two parts to this.

Whether COVID came from a lab or not is only of tangential importance. If you have a system in place, it will get breached eventually. Forever and always. It's China. Nobody else is responsible for China.

What is VASTLY more significant, and where most of the debate is centered, is how we responded to the fact that a deadly virus was spreading. The terms "Wuhan-flu," "kung-flu" and "China virus" were direct attempts by political leaders to deflect the responsibility for their lack of action and failure to mitigate the affects of the virus.

Hell, it's a lesson even a child should know: you are not always responsible for the situation you're in whether that's a kid picking on you or COVID, but you are fully responsible for your reaction. My son's favorite word right now is "well...." because as very bright 8 year old, he wants to discuss his reasoning process with me to justify why he acted the way he did. And mine is "well, nothing..." because most of the time when we have these incidents, his reaction is out of step with how we've taught him to behave in the situation.

The political arm of the Trump administration was FULL of "well..." instead of addressing the issue, and the political polarization of the US has allowed a big percentage of the population to justify their own responses to mitigation efforts in the same manner. Because most adults have gotten there by reaching a certain age, not by reaching maturity.

I remember watching in horror as the US was shutting down its borders because the virus had spread to Europe, but people were packed into our major international airports like sardines and remained there for hours. It was and is incredibly stupid and irresponsible.
I feel you. Every time I read about China I think "yep we will have that in 10 years".
When the drones are switched on they'll never be switched off again.

At least we can still vote.
After Trump nothing surprises me any more.
The subreddit was called /r/fatpeoplehate. That's not anti-obesity, that's anti-'obese people'
I was "enrolled" in the Youtube experiment where I could not see the downvotes of videos for something like 3 months. I'm pretty sure it's because I am a reaaaaaaly strong believer in dislinking the videos I did not enjoy, for any reason. I always like or dislike a video, there are no exceptions, and the like/dislike ratio is paramount to my decision to watch a video or not. My solution was simple: I created another Youtube account and resubscribed to all of my channels. I simply stopped using my old account. I don't know if it was because of that or not, but 3 months later my old account could see the dislikes again. F*ck Youtube and Google.
The worst thing about AirBnB and similar isn’t that it turns human interactions into a financial transaction. The worst thing is that it makes everyone expect that it will be a financial transaction. Once you’ve commercialized something that was more adhoc and free before, it becomes pretty much impossible to go back as you’ve changed the social norms.
Possibly a combination of landing speed, center of mass, center of lift, landing mass and lift and quite importantly the size and load tolerance of the landing gear that makes this more possible on a G280 without the aircraft jumping around until the landing gear gives and your landing turns into a crash.

That said this reads like a bad idea overall.
Also a lot that are just

"Yes

I don't get the point.
Apple, Google, and Microsoft all employ very many competent programmers. But they share the problem that they need to hire many more programmers than are both competent and eager to work for them, and so must make do for the rest. It is a much easier task to select a place to work with competent colleagues. Thus, there is no inconsistency.

Perfection is not needed. Ordinary good code suffices. Good code using modern C++, or current Rust, is easier than in older languages (among which count older C++). When bad code is extra work, it becomes an unattractive alternative even to the lazy, leaving its production mainly to the masochistic and the aggressively incompetent, who are often the same.
Windows has had “IO completion ports” since the 1990s which work well and are high performance async for disk/network/other IO operations.
My experience of property based testing is that you end up either testing trivial stuff that you don't really care about (sure, maybe you have a bug with extremely large integers that can't actually happen in real life), or you're creating tests every bit as complex and buggy as the implementation itself to represent realistic states. Quite often you're just directly duplicating the logic you're testing to prove it works in all cases.

These just seem like the worst kinds of test, highly coupled with implementation details. For the benefit of finding some bugs with edge cases (which may or may not be spurious), I just don't believe it's worth the effort, given that you still need all your normal tests anyway. Maybe I am just unlucky not to work in a more pure, mathsy domain, I dunno.
> I think what it really brings to light (at least for me) is the incompetence of the CCP in the matter.

Incompetence? I think the regime came out of this pretty well. They’ve completely disrupted literally every country in the world, and China itself has been only marginally affected, lacking any of the truly large waves that devastated the US and India.
Cache misses are not GC pauses. But GC often causes more cache misses.
There is one more key difference - I2P has C++ implementation[1] which allows it to be run on the low-performance machines, e.g. routers. It is impossible in case of Java. I wish it had been Rust, though...

I think when certain very talented creators get "demonetized" and they have a bad experience with customer service trying to understand why, and maybe suspect the criteria changed without they're knowing, it's relatively understandable to over-react and say their hard work was censored, even if knowing it doesn't meet the legal standard. I wouldn't let it bother you so much.
Thanks for the feedback. What seems to be the problem? What phone/screensize are you on?
>They work just well enough so you're not paying attention and then the car hands you control without warning.

There's a book, Our Robots, Ourselves by David Mindell, which describes the aviation experience with auto-land. Auto-land is no longer used for this reason, and the related one that the automatic system gives up when the situation is bad and you only have seconds to recover, which is when you want the pilot to have been paying attention for quite a while.

Planes use pilot assistance (head-up displays of where the plane thinks it's going, and where it thinks it should be going), rather than automatic landing systems these days.
I grew up in India until the age of 18. I remember that NASA's brand name was so strong that frequently it was claimed to be an Indian-run US agency. Our science teacher would tell us how NASA is comprised of 90% Indian immigrants. This was in late 90's. The tone was to not be scournful of NASA, but instead of pride. Indians feel proud of NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) that have left the nation for better - from Scientists to CEOs. I don't mean to offend anyone but this was a first hand experience growing up in India.

Time really is irrelevant if you lack the resources to deal with issues quickly and effectively.
There is also an evolving scene of immersive participatory theater in real-time 3D rendered Gamespaces.

The ones I have seen are optimized for VR but support normal screen WASD players.

They have a real time cast following a narrative script at showtime, but there is improv feedback with the audience built into the experience.

There are quite a few efforts in this direction: [1] is a good example and [2] is an active producer

What's wrong with teaching high school? In a (presumably) less-advantaged area?

Issue is in my opinion that Tesla deliberately doesn’t install features to closely monitor driver‘s attention. In a Mercedes , if you don’t pay attention , multiple systems detect this and system is shutting down auto pilot functions with pre-warning .
If you enjoyed this essay, you might also enjoy the author's fuller book Paradox Lost: Logical Solutions to Ten Puzzles of Philosophy, which covers 9 additional famous logical puzzles and offers solutions to them: https://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Lost-Logical-Solutions-Philos...

I personally wasn't convinced by every paradox solution offered in this book, but a few of the solutions were truly stunning, and left me with the feeling that some famous philosophical paradox had been completely and unambiguously resolved (esp. in the first chapter).

(I love shilling for Michael Huemer [author of this book/blog] because his philosophical books & essays have been extremely influential/clarifying in my own thinking).
I feel like this person is a genius.
This looks very promising!

>For a simpler approach, more akin to downloading a piece of software and running it on top of your operating system, please wait for our Electron-based app bundle later this year. [1]

Hope soon they release the downloadable app and is possible to use it locally/offline/without account (like Inkscape, Gimp, LibreOffice).

I guess that right now is no free and open source tool that cover specifically digital interface design, you can do it with Inkscape but it has so many more unnecessary features (print mostly), and no prototyping, components, developer handoff. Pinpoint seems to be going in that direction (Figma features) and with a good UI/UX approach [2]. Exiting!

It will open the door to designers who can't pay for Adobe XD/Figma subscription. Hope they will be able to sustain the project with his paid cloud/teams service (a la LibreOffice).
