It's been a long time since I used classic Mac OS seriously, but I don't think Mac apps really even used toolbars for actions like save, undo, paste, etc. Usually toolbars were for selecting tools (e.g. pencil, eraser, etc in paint) or tuning settings (e.g. font and color), with actions stowed away in menus and lacking iconographic representation.

Thinking about it further, this is true of OS X too. Even though it made toolbars more ubiquitous, it was still unusual for "standard" actions to be placed there.

I would think that a longtime Mac user probably associates "save" with the key shortcut ⌘-S more strongly than any kind of icon.
The wiki entry on it is fairly complete[0].

Another way to look at this is Breadth First Search vs Depth First Search. DFS moves fast and tries to find new ideas, BFS moves slow and makes sure it's taking the correct path. Think about Chess bots that need to go very far down the search space to make the next move.

It's okay for the idea stage to be bubbly. It helps them come up with ideas. if the wiki stage is of all one mindset, you have an issue.

Further thinking since I made this post, I realized when thinking through this model, no wonder why the internet is so toxic. Most people, the less experienced, who should be reading verified Wiki-level information are reading Facebook and similar, a Chat-level discourse. No wonder disinformation flows.

Of course it makes sense why. Unverified stuff is simply more exciting than known stuff that's been filtered of all of the impossible stuff. How do we get most people to read boring wiki entries? Read textbooks?

How to find teammates for your hack
I created a way for hackers to find people with skills they don't have to join their project.
Your point still stands (those people had high contact jobs), but most of the people who died did so prior to vaccine availability. It's only been the past ~4-5 months where there's been widespread availability. And there are very few people at this point (in the US) who haven't gotten the vaccine solely because of their scheduling (though that reason might be cited as a clean justification!). It's clearly vaccine hesitancy...
If WebRTC is activated in your browser and webtorrent (https://webtorrent.io/) is being used by the instance, yes. However, you could say the same for Zoom or most video calling platform, if I'm not mistaken.

You'd have to go per-region first to avoid a major redesign on the provider (the API is also per-region). I can see something like a `controlled_resource_types` list attribute on the provider that you could set to e.g. `[aws_instance]` to inform the provider it needs to compare the list of resources of the specified type to the state.

Profits also aren't a cost. They're a residual claim.
Does AirBnB provide a “super-guest” filter, or equivalent so that you can brainlessly and reliably filter for suitable guests?

I would host independently minded guests that don’t want/need hand-holding, and guests that are vetted for being socially respectful (tidy, no 3AM drunks, etcetera). My property is tobacco and alcohol free, which surprises friends, so I can imagine strangers being disrespectful.

Do trustroots.org or movingworlds.org provide filtering? I really never want to have to trawl through reviews, because I find it wasteful and also I think reveiwers tend to avoid writing anything truthfully negative (allusions and omissions might occur, but are not always obvious).

Recruiters.txt: A simple way to state cold email preferences
> This is just plain wrong and not at all what this article is about. In the article, a script is developed that enforces state transfer by the specified transition table, i.e. only a specific set of bitcoin transactions are allowed on the state, namely the ones from the transition table.

So what is the article about, then? I started this thread disagreeing with the claim that material presented in the article somehow makes bitcoin turing complete and claiming that it, in fact, is not. You seem to be arguing this point with me, but I am not exactly sure what your (counter)arguments are.

Holding it at 45 works well for e.g. a sharpie, but it didn't work quite as well for a ball point pen, which we ended up using.

We tried a bunch of different pens and eventually ended up on G2 for reliability and "rollability," if thats a thing. Way fewer dead spots than some of the other pens. Also, we could see remaining ink and swap out early.

> What's the difference with an off the shelve pen plotter?

It's bigger!

Seriously though, this was an off the shelf pen plotter (Axidraw) until I blew up one of the axes. So it's the same controller, same motors, same pen carriage, and one of the same arms. We simply took one axes and made it super long.
Subsidized childcare. That’s it, that’s the secret. Societies that value their workforce use tax dollars to fund childcare.
A little off topic but I noticed whenever these financial literacy threads come up - the only people whose point of view I care about are those who had been poor and found ways out of it. Those are the people who "figured it out" and I want people to know what they know.

Everyone else is theorizing. If you had always been rich, you may think poor people are lazy, or you may believe they are deeply stuck. If you're poor, you may also think you're stuck because you're not seeing ways. Both of these categories of people's views are irrelevant to the topic. I don't want to hear that something is "easy" or "impossible" from those who haven't done it.

I want to hear from those who've done it and learn from them.

As a conceptual shortcut, I'd want to understand what immigrant and first-generation Asians do, and do that.
I believe it is more simultaneous viewers that counts, and they start to upload as well as download while watching (and you can also opt-out of that).
I wish I had known earlier that Brenda Howard (Mother of Pride) was leather-adjacent, if not outright identified as Leather herself. Would've been many years of shame evaporated right there had Leather history been more accessible, and on a lighter note, it always amuses me when younger folks argue against "leather at pride" not knowing her direct involvement.

This was a fantastic essay, and I'm glad it was written and posted separately. Thank you. For others reading this comment, links that may be of interest and further research:

- Leather Archives - (http://leatherarchives.org/) incredible museum that collects the lived history of those who found themselves in this subculture and identity.

- "Leather Resources" (http://kradeelav.com/leather-resources.html) Showcasing some of the Leather-related links that I've slowly collected over the years while trying to track down and preserve even a little bit of history. Extremely fun rabbit trails from here. :)

(I write this post as a bisexual woman in a long-term relationship with another woman. Leather is the only LGBT+ label I remotely felt at home in, for many private/personal reasons.)
For your own kids, how about this? Open up the Chromebook and disconnect the camera and mic. Get USB ones that can be plugged in when needed for Zoom lessons and then unplugged immediately afterwards. Reconnect the built-in ones right before you return it.
Good advice for more than just VPN: if someone has to advertise something that should sell itself, there is something wrong with it or them.
It's reasonably plausible that what doomed efforts to keep Covid out of the UK (and the US too!) was travel from Italy, not China. Both countries had pretty decent contact tracing for cases linked to China and those people didn't spread it much, the initial outbreak cities of London and New York had substantial travel to the worst-affected region of Italy due to Fashion Week, and the first exported case from the UK detected in I think Singapore had direct ties to that.

Also, something definitely seems to have gone seriously wrong with Italy's response - they were detecting zero cases up until way too soon before their hospitals collapsed, which suggests they were doing a worse job of testing people hospitalized with potential Covid symptoms than even the US which had screwed up so badly it had an official policy of not doing so due to test shortages. Trouble is, Italy is currently run by the kind of technocrats the media likes, so there was no incentive to drag them through the mud. Instead the press spun other countries as worse because they weren't caught by surprise like Italy and so should've done better, without asking questions about how that surprise happened exactly.
> Sure it means that some folks can't crawl your sites and a small number of people might get hit with captchas, but it's better than having no site.

Yeah, I just feel like people overreact to news.

Moms of 2021: this person in the news had a very bad case of X (covid, covid vaccine, hazelnuts, idk), I should avoid X preemptively

Nerds of 2021: this website in the news had a very bad DDoS attack, I should avoid DDoS attacks preemptively

The vast majority of people do not need to break the internet[1] for DDoS protection. It is really not that common. I know exactly nobody whose personal website got DDoS'ed. I do know people whose personal website is behind Cloudflare to preemptively avoid this problem.

I run a website myself where people can host all sorts of contents, I can totally imagine not everyone is happy with that. Never been on the receiving end of any kind of abuse though (people even ask me if I'm not afraid of that!). And if I were, I'd talk to my ISP -- they were previously involved in lawsuits for internet freedoms (i.e. on the good side), perhaps they are also happy to help me keep a site hosted with them before I need to consider moving to big brother corp for protection.

> It's not really MITM if the site owner explicitly asked them to terminate TLS

Nobody means MITM in the attacker sense when the service being MITM'd literally asked the proxy to proxy their traffic. Obviously. Saying that Cloudflare MITMs connections is a way to carry both meaning and judgement, similar to how I will talk about middleboxes on corporate networks that block evil haxxor tools that I need for my daily work (y'know, wireshark and such). I call those MITM boxes because that's what they do but also because I think they're more evil than good and the term reflects that (even if there are obviously pros and cons, same with Cloudflare).

> It's the exact same as using an AWS ELB

Hmm, if I understand what AWS does correctly, their load balancing service just routes traffic internally. It's not a transparent proxy where you think you're talking to one company but really you're talking to another. The manager at BigBank also understands intuitively that if they host their data at ExampleCorp, that ExampleCorp needs to not have data breaches. But if Cloudflare it just removing malicious traffic, it's not immediately obvious that they are in just as sensitive a position. The privacy policy rarely if ever mentions such proxying services.

I take your point though that it's not that different. This is also why I'd never host with Amazon or configure my email servers to be Google's, but yeah Cloudflare proxying gets more comments than hosting the whole thing at what some people perceive as an evilcorp. Not sure if that's for the aforementioned reasons or not.

As the article mentions, these countries will not be receiving The movie on HBO on the same day as the theatrical release, as we are here in the States.

The staggered release may partly be a strategy by the distributors to hedge against the cut of ticket sales expected from having the HBO same-day release.
Yes, the biggest risk is abuse of the data- but the basic mission of monitoring is also an unacceptable risk. To me, this is similar to the notion: "Yeah, we're building a nitrous fertilizer bomb in the shed, but the _real risk_ is if our neighbor tosses a smoldering cigarette butt into the yard. The grass could catch fire!"

I also respectfully disagree. I'm a sincere egoist, so I say that: no, public safety is not a "higher priority" than _my_ rights, nor is it of a higher priority than any individuals' rights.

I think the solution to bullying, and generally the unwelcome encroachment of others into our spaces, is some ability to rebuke the interlocutors' access to our space entirely, permanently, and even prematurely. You'll notice that the goal of surveillance is antithetical to this, entirely; I take it to mean that the possibility of bullying is endemic to surveillance. You can not have surevillance without the opportunity for gross abuses.

Don't get me wrong, I do care for public safety and the collective well-being. But that is because I choose to care, because I choose to sacrifice of my means and materials in the times and places that I find necessary. The goal should not be, that we allow people their freedoms except where it is inconvenient to the collective purpose. The goal should be, to empower upright and moral citizens to understand their innate ability to make the world better.

Yes, this is an imperfect solution to the collective well-being. There will often be times where such individuals do not understand or accept their privilege to enrich the world of themselves; and, at the end of the cultural moment when the cards are dealt and the pot is dealt, we might find that such an approach is utterly immeritous toward the goal of preserving our common heritage. If this should happen, then that will be a great tragedy indeed; yet it won't be so great by half as the tragedy of even a single human being denied the full fruit and art of living with their full power.

EDIT: Also, I'd like to draw a line between privacy and anonymity. Privacy means I ought to have a space where nobody can exfiltrate resources from. This does not enable bullying, because bullying requires some degree of interconnection, whereas privacy must be specifically preserved where intercomnectivity is the state of business. Anonymity, I grant you, does allow bullying (to the degree that anonymity allows you to interconnect while refusing to allow other parties to identify you.) I will entertain conversations about the dangers of anonymity, because I think there is a happy middle between "don't track me" and "interact with me as a known quantity."

Surveillance is antithetical to both privacy and anonymity. To the degree it is antithetical to privacy, I will fight it tooth and nail, and forever condemn the sniveling ne'er-do-wells that think themselves privileged in _my_ spaces.
Thanks!

It has ~2.5 degrees of freedom. The pen servo only controls the up part of the vertical axis, gravity controls the down. What I mean to say is that the pen carriage just slides down, it is not pulled down.

To solve for that we used... rubberbands. It adds a little extra downward force to ensure the ink flows.
Nobody has stated they have any estimates of anything, but this is a really defensive response to the mere suggestion that it might be good to know if the network is used for criminality or not.
Are you asking for library recommendations for a simple standard used extensively for the last 35 years when there are already 6 libraries linked in the wikipedia page you were given?
Your intuition is right on pulumi. Creating these kinds of extensions is minimal effort. You can start out by adding a "dynamic resource" class to your infra codebase and extract it into a plugin later, or not.

These are not the same as "real" pulumi providers that
run across all supported programming languages, but I think they are a good enough fit for the cases you mention.
Read as wide a selection of news sites as possible. Read US sites, Iranian sites, Russian sites, European sites, Asian sites.

They are ALL biased, but if you read widely enough and often enough, the biases begin to cancel out, and you will start to get an idea of what the actual facts behind the news are.

It takes a while, but its worth it in the long run. Sometimes the websites that are the most factual are the ones that you wouldn't have looked twice at previously.

After a while you work out which have the most 'propaganda' and which are the most neutral. With some stories, you will find that some news-agencies will try to hide them by not covering them at all - usually the stories that show that country in a bad light.

You would have to give multiple examples, at least one for each "different kind" of name (for which you would have programmed a different handling logic if you were programming the task yourself---the tool needs to see at least an instance of each of those logics---it has no understanding that something is a name; it simply treats the input as a sequence of characters).
If you express Nazi views in Germany, you will be arrested. In the USA the First Amendment has been ruled to apply to even the most odious kinds of speech, including neo-Nazis and the KKK.

That said it's also true that Germany is, in practice, a freer country than the USA -- and a lot of that may have to domwith the fact that they banned Nazism and public expression of Nazism over 70 years ago. The concept of "unalienable rights" so enshrined in American political philosophy is a myth. COVID should have taught us that all freedom is contingent. A corollary of that is that in order for a society to be, in practice, free, individual rights must be balanced against public health and public safety. The radical American belief in inviolable individual rights led us down the present course of toxic individualism, which got us Trump and the current antivax movement.
Yes, I’m sorry you misunderstood; I was only saying it’d be easier to take pre-existing cryptocurrency, since the two exchanges required are less complicated than running an entire processor, payments network and bank. Performing the conversion to the currency is pushed off on the user and some other exchange service, and converting currency after the sale just needs to be correctly reported.

Creating an entire cryptocurrency ecosystem as an alternative to taking CCBill would not go well, I agree.
Drama much? I'm dead against surveillance, but that doesn't mean freedom inures in being maximally wild and uncontrollable. This is also not a new phenomenon, as far back as the Victorian era adults would complain that 'children should be seen and not heard.'

The Top 30 Problems with the Big Bang Theory (2002)
- The Monk who Sold His Ferrari

I was young and stupid, and I bought this book because of its very high Amazon rating.

It's badly written, same old self-help cringe, and generic good advice packaged as something novel. I also found the depiction of the Yogi community of the Himalayas of very poor taste and far from reality. He and the people who does his PR are master marketers. That's why his books sell so much. Total waste of money.

- How to Win Friends and Influence People

I got this from HN. Sure, I knew about it, but if it was on a highly upvoted comment on HN, it must be good, or at least that's what I thought.

The writing is good, but the book is sexist and classist. "How to be a good wife"? Seriously? And suggesting that they cook different dishes and some such sexist nonsense! Whoa!

I learned some cool facts about Abe Lincoln which I enjoyed. I will read a summary or watch a video some day.

Btw, I have had some really great recommendation from book threads on HN.

- War and Peace

I was really enjoying it. Will definitely finish it someday.

________

I only read a book when it appears on my radar from multiple sources. HN threads, Reddit threads (not r/books pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-origina posts), people that I respect who talk about books (e.g. Paul Graham), books that appear on the bibliography of another book I am reading, etc.

Despite these checks and balances, I am surprised that I spent money for The Monk who Sold his Ferrari and How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Facebook is nothing comparing to Google, they have an OS and a browser remember?
I think this happens in many domains. The way an expert thinks about a topic is very different from the way a novice thinks about a topic. It's not that the expert thinks in more complex ways than the novice; I'd actually argue that the expert thinks in simpler ways. But these ways of thinking are entirely different from each other, and when you're in one camp, the behaviors of the other camp appear unexplainable and complex.

When folks on the outside of category peer across the gap, they see a huge array of ways of speaking about both familiar and unfamiliar concepts. When an analogy is made across the gap, folks think "is that all it is?" or "how is that useful?" or "why are you making something so simple into something so complicated?". The categorical ways of thinking form such a vastly different basis of thinking that it's the translation into and out of that basis that's deeply complicated. When you're actually across the bridge, it's as simple as anything else -- but good luck explaining that to non-experts!

I've had managers who have the same attitude to software engineering. To them, if we understand the problem to be solved and the needs of the users, it's as good as solved! Why are you software engineers complicating things!? But I think many of us on this forum would side with the engineer, rather than the manager, because many of us are across the bridge. And how often do you have to try to translate what you do into something they can understand? (How often do they actually get it?)
