The signature will be for the convincing fake and won't be valid for the real site. Plus, your hardware key won't even recognize the fake site as an enrolled site, and won't even generate a signature for the fake site!

I think that's mostly right anyways. There's a very helpful explanation somewhere upthread and that's what I understood from it.
A similar conversation took place on HN a few months ago, and a few experts pointed out that a small mutation rendered sheep (I think) totally immune to some common prion disease that was universally fatal to sheep without the mutation. Without being able to find the citation at this moment, it made me much less concerned about the possibility of prions becoming an intractable problem that wipes out all complex life.

Samsung CPU performance meets AMD GPU performance per watt? I couldn't imagine a worse combination heh. I don't think this will compete with the M1 very well. At least I'm glad the industry is moving towards putting cheap high-performance/efficiency SoCs in all laptops finally.
BTW while I am talking about this topic on this website: are there any good tools like this for Linux? I recently moved from macOS to Linux (mostly) and good site-specific-browser app creation tools are one of the things I miss most.

(On Mac, I just bought this flotato thing, as it seems pretty good and promising, but I normally have been using Coherence X (a similar app) and there are others... I am not aware of any for Linux.)

Also check out Bumpr.app for Mac — it intercepts link clicks and lets you choose what browser to open them in. Would love that on Linux, as well.
This is only on a Mac, right? I'll look into it, not a problem on my other machine.
I've often wondered what guitarists are thinking about when they use alternate tunings. I'm sure if you play in one tuning long enough you can conceptualize how all the notes related to chords and keys, etc. But if you frequently change tunings, when you learn a song does it just become a matter of memorizing finger patterns, or do can your brain actually figure out the mapping such that you are thinking in terms of chords and intervals?
How exactly do you define "creating value"?

> resulting in more corn and more lumber and therefore value was created.

> Maybe they sell to others who disagree and believe that there is still value to be created in the future.

The first paragraph implies "value" is an objective quantity while the second one implies "value" is subjective to a particular investor. Both can't be true at the same time.

We can all have different believes about future creation of value, but if value is objective then some of those believes will simply turn out to be wrong. The problem is that we need someone to have incorrect believes so we can sell to them - at which point, it's again just a ponzi scheme.
So you want to go to grad school (in the academic humanities)?
> we have less - and will have even less in the future - privacy than people did 10+ years ago

ok, but hunter-gatherers had only minimal privacy so we can adapt to a wide range of "privacies".

yes, it is true that the possibility of "increasingly impersonal threats from far away" has risen dramatically in recent history and it's not clear how well we will adapt to that.

Non standard tunings can be very interesting for song writing, in particular the use of droning notes, or when using playing styles like travis picking. Some of the American primitive players like Fahey, or Rose, and more recently players like Nathan Salsburg, put together really great sounding stuff.

> If you’re not doing chord/scale/mode transitions standard tuning is optimized for, you’re putting a lot of cognitive load either on your playing or your practice.

I actually find that once you learn something in standard that there is relatively little cognitive load involved. It's more about refining very fine motor skills and coordination between shapes/fingerings. At a certain point the motions become instinctual and the "cognitive load" simply disappears. You just play. It's when I transition between tunings that I feel (initially) very uncomfortable, because I'm relearning those fine motor skills in new patterns to fit the tuning.

You still have to deal with the ugliness in a dynamic language too, but you might be tempted to just let duck typing do its thing, which could lead to disastrous results. Otherwise, you'll have to check types and invariants, at which point you might as well parse the input into type-safe containers.
The least bad would be to widely introduce regenerative farming. We could turn farms from carbon sources back into carbon sinks, reduce fertilizer and pesticide use by orders of magnitude, and grow almost the same amount of crops.

At the same time, this would greatly increase the ability of farmland to absorb and retain rainfall, reduce soil temperatures by up to 10 degrees, greatly offsetting the hazards to crops of climate change.

No, the person you bought the stock from made money before the stock went up. You might make money if you decide to sell before the stock goes down again.

Your comment about an offline first native app being magical has just made me consider… are we in an age where it’s more common for developers to not have lived thru pc apps pre-internet/early internet? What you describe used to be the norm.
If you are serious about that, you'll need to retrain one of your instincts — there is a nearly reflexive response to orient towards a new or bright flash of light. In normal situations, this is highly adaptive. However, in raare events like meteors, nuclear or other really large explosions, it results in literally frying the retinas before the viewer has time to sort out what is happening, nevermind judging whether it "looks to be large".

You'll need to retrain your instincts to instantly close your eyes and flinch away in response to bright light, then judge the "looks to be large (or not)" through your closed eyelids. This should work fine as I remember reading that some observers of the Trinity nuclear test blast saw the bones of their hands through their closed and covered eyes...

I think you completely misunderstand my point. Merck would be inventing new drugs on its own dime with no government input so it would own that IP outright, yes?

This allows universities to concentrate more on the kind of fundamental basic research that underlies all applied research discoveries; this basic research may not produce IP but is utterly foundational for new applied discoveries.

I was listening to the podcast, and about an hour in I was waiting for the joke or expecting it to be funnier, and then I realized it was the wrong Carlin..
A lot of guitarists have no problem with playing open tunings because they can pretty seamlessly transcribe the notes along one string to the whole tuning, like how the 2nd fret of the low D string in open D is an E note so thus a finger across the whole fret is an "E chord".

It's once you get into alternate tunings that are outside the "open tuning" norm that it becomes, at least for me, memorizing finger patterns and getting fine coordination locked in. The theory gets thrown out for "what sounds good" and "hmm that sounded about right".

As far as the crypto itself is concerned, of course it is. The issue here is that the founder is using another system to blackmail users.

The fact that this founder had to resort to tactics like these (instead of reverting the mistake on his end) shows that these systems are working as advertised.
I'm skeptical that Samsung is anywhere near taking on the M1 given their current production Exynos processor, but I wish some one would.

Inc-Query | Solutions Eng. (not dev) | Full-time | REMOTE [Americas/EMEA] | https://inc-query.com

Small, profitable, rapidly growing, fully remote tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Director exercises 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time

2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects

3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

This is not a software engineering role, but some coding familiarity is required. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

Hey i agree with you, just want to be clear it’s not you i’m calling a clown. It’s the person with the monad comment. I should not call any one a clown, but i think their noise makes it harder for people to parse useful information on the internet, especially beginners actually. That must be called out one way or another.
I’ve often wondered if ipv6s less human readable addresses is the primary cause. I dread using and interacting with ipv6, compared to ipv4. Sure ipv6 solves a lot of scaling challenges, but it is so much harder to grock at first glance.
I think so, I've gone back to university to study biology, and I'm encountering two complimentary perspectives on what life is, a pragmatic classification version that says: ok - of the things that we see which ones are alive and which aren't and what are the distinguishing characteristics? and a second definitional version, blending Schroedinger and Shannon, that says life seems to be information propagating itself, but we're not going examine you on that in first year genomics.
Two different “experts” will do this and arrive at different conclusions. Now what.
Large companies often use MarkMonitor, which has enterprise-oriented sales. It's not obvious if they provide commensurate value, or if they're just good at convincing enterprises that they do.
One thing I will say about this, is don't expect tonnes of computation power. The Allwinner A64 is the same processor as in the PineBook (OG), PinePhone and PineTab - all of which are desperately begging for more processing power.

That said, it will play back H264 videos just fine, you will be able to browse a limited number of tabs, listen to music, etc, etc. Just don't expect to replace your current desktop - it's very likely far less capable than the smartphone in your pocket.

I think the killer feature for these devices are yet to arrive. I want to see a small decentralized (+) eco-system where you essentially get some light and synchronized version of your Linux desktop. For example, I want to be able to check my RSS feeds whilst on the move and have the 'read' items synced across devices. Or begin listening to a podcast on one device and then resume it on my desktop when I get home.

What we'll likely get though is a mini-Linux desktop that barely runs anything, gets some very focussed device-specific apps and they won't play nicely with anything at all.

(+) Read: Doesn't require some cloud server, simply that the devices are on the same network.

> By my definition

You're using a different definition than Thiel is. His definition is simply a description of a system. If a country is a representative democracy or a direct democracy, where each person gets to vote, then it's a democracy by definition. Your definition pertains to an outcome of a system, such as equality. Neither of these are wrong definitions, since they're both commonly used in regular conversation, but you are talking at cross purposes.

Under his definition, which is what we should be talking about if we're addressing this in good faith, democracy (the system) and freedom are at odds because democracy is just majority rule. Women who can't get an abortion, rich people that have to give up 50% of their money, minorities that are discriminated against in law, victimless crimes being prosecuted (weed), and so on.

These are examples of the majority using their vote to strip the freedoms and property and time of other people.

Each day that I go to work, 1/2 of my day goes directly to the state, merely because a majority of the electorate thinks they are entitled to it. This isn't literal slavery (where 100% instead of 50% of my time is taken from me), but it's certainly not freedom when 1/2 of my productive energy is taken from me by threat of prison time if I do not comply.

Wow, that also nicely explains how colonisation & impoverishment of some human groups is necessary in the current framework, so that high HDI can be achieved in other human groups (which then explains various historical facts).

This makes space exploration and attempts of automated resource extraction from celestial objects a noble goal, something that can achieve world peace (assuming the results are distributed).

The fundamental mistake was not making IPv6 backwards compatible with IPv4. You can't just migrate to IPv6, you need to run dual stack which means twice as much work a lot more complexity. I'm 40 and don't expect to ever be able to not need an IPv4 IP to browse the Internet.
A tangent: I’m learning piano and musical notation finally clicked for me.

Musical notation is a high level language. It gives you a program that you can run on any instrument. And it gives you the ability to modify it with relative ease.

When playing clarinet in high school I felt that notion is this archaic thing that we’re stuck with because of the morons in the past. But I’m realizing it’s this beautifully refined language, developed over centuries.

The reason reason people overpay for large databases on RDS: RDS spend makes little difference to a lot of companies when the alternative is hosting it in-house. AWS provides multi-az failover and ability to add read-replicas with a click of a button.
