Maybe try asking more pointed questions?
I also might have family wealth be the source of the aristocracy as opposed to the politicians reaping the benefits of taking their wealth. You’ll still have the poor, but those in the aristocracy will be bureaucrats, who effectively stole their way in. It isn’t like these taxes will actually go to the poor.
I was watching the ISS live feed going over North West Africa and up to Italy. The landscape was red and arid and it struck me just how ‘Mars like’ it looked.

It got me thinking that Earth could be facing the same destiny many aeons from now. It’s hard to imagine with the amount of H2O on the planet right now, but if it can happen to Mars (the atmosphere is stripped away), it could happen here I suppose.

But I wonder if a Venus situation is more likely first, because of our proximity to the Sun?

This discovery certainly makes me feel that lifecycle of planets is an awesome thing.
That's what one should assume, but apparently this is not the case. Here is some more information: https://github.com/pallene-lang/pallene/issues/331.
No, this isn't it. What he did was basically build a production-ready webapp for his own personal blog. Was this overkill? Maybe. But when you're used to work in that kind of prod environment, you want to reproduce it when building any other projects. So I think this isn't so much a snake oil salesman crap but more about the current lack of good solution to get this kind of environment ready in a few clicks.
You will find a lot more support for React troubleshooting since there are simply more people using it. That is a major selling point, and barebones React with a simple UI framework like Material/Tailwind can be pretty simple (if simplicity is your thing).

As to why the OP you referenced went overboard, that has more to do with the old adage of ‘life is not complicated, people are’. I agree with you, this stuff is not that complicated, it’s the people designing it that are.

If you think about how mundane making web apps can actually become, it’s no surprise developer histrionics found a way of creating amalgamations.
A good time to invest in electricity generation companies, perhaps.
Ask HN: Do fintech face a challenge around data security and fraud?
Over a period of a few centuries we have figured out that allowing significant amounts of wealth to be controlled by the wishes of people who died 100 years ago. Imagine, for instance, how perfectly mainstream beliefs in the US would have led someone setting up an educational trust to specify that it was only to support white men. Just a couple generations passed we would look upon that policy with anathema.

The rule against perpetuities is what our legal system evolved to address this problem. It says that you can direct how property is used during your lifetime, and beyond that through the lifetime of someone who was living at the time you died. But that you cannot control how money and property is to be used beyond that point.
Hey all - LocalStack co-founder here. Great to see this article trending. :)

Happy for any additional suggestions and questions you may have. Looking forward to getting your feedback!
>The often unmentioned killer feature part of js is that you can express tree data directly

This is the case in almost all well-used programming languages. Calling it a "killer feature" is a bit of a stretch; it's more an expectation.
This applies to almost all modern linux package managers.

PGP is typically used to sign a collection of hashes (and other metadata). PGP is generally only used at package install/build time, and the subsequently installed/generated manifest is used when you ask the package manager to verify the package.
Both of which are useful for verifying mathematical predictions.
The closest hybrid to me seems to be wing assisted climbing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing-assisted_incline_runnin...

It’s as if Leonardo had to climb up a ramp and used some of the generated propeller lift to reduce the force required from the legs.
Sorry, then I don’t know what you’ve meant by “lock that down AWS instances by IP”.
I can't believe that Twitter culture has this much power but they're using it all on cancelling MIT speakers and not even trying to improve US policy.
> How do we neuter the power of Twitter mobs? Seems like they can bully and intimidate any organization from universities to corporations to GitHub projects to kowtow to their demands.

Don’t play the losing game. Just don’t be on Twitter.
The relay you use to turn it on better be rated for the startup current of the AC unit (which will normally be pretty high).

When turning it off, you should wait at least 1 minute before turning it back on. Repeatedly not waiting a minute will burn out the AC compressors safety circuit.
While it would be nice to be able to ensure that the source is what's exactly on the app store, protonmail does have their iOS app open sourced. Not quite the same as a generic email client, but is probably the next closest thing.
Where would dating sites be without bots?
I really like this quote from Warren Buffet “Leave your children enough money so they can do anything, but not enough that they don’t have to do anything.”

I want my children to be able to do what they want. However, I want to raise productive, functioning adults.
Reading this article, I am struck by how BitCoin and crypto currencies had idealistic origins. Contrast that with practical realities of crypto today which seems to be fueling mostly speculation and illegality. It is also an environmental and climate disaster.
Also from the article on that situation:

> The Santa Barbara district attorney’s office last year filed criminal charges against Cameron for failing to provide support. She pleaded not guilty; prosecutors ultimately dropped the case.

I have no idea the true facts of the case, but I do know the prosecutor elected to drop the case.
The Crown Estate does not do this. It is not familial wealth. It arose as a settlement absolving the monarch from personal responsibility for the nation’s finances.
By that interpretation, you would be free to use information gleaned from reverse engineering Super Mario 64 to modify your OS of choice to be capable of running Super Mario 64 as-is. But the law doesn't authorize you to distribute a modified version of Super Mario 64, because the reverse engineering is only permitted "to the extent that doing so does not constitute infringement under this title or violate applicable law other than this section."
Bring back friction into the world.
I don’t like that video, guy is very arrogant for calling the guys at Nintendo stupid for some of their mistakes. The Super Mario 64 development team was under immense pressure at the time to build and ship this game no doubt. And they did so while pioneering a lot of new areas and techniques in the world of console games.

The kind of comments that dude makes say much more about him as a person than anything else – it shows that he is not able to put himself in other peoples shoes.

His video does not deserve any views when he acts that way. And I feel sorry for anyone that would work on a team with someone that has the kind of mentality that the creator of that video is showing.
The Hi-Tec (sp?) Compiler was excellent on those parts. Microchip even recommended it over their own.

Those parts didnt support stack variables, so that compiler would analyze the call tree and essentially use global (fixed address) variables for locals, but it could reuse them in different functions.

Yes a pain for the compiler, but at least one did it really well.
Or maybe the date of the publication does not imply that the data and the work was done exactly in the week before, sometimes a study might take more work then a blog post.
> It isn’t some zero sum game, where there is some limited amount of wealth, and by them having it others must be destitute

Take a look at some of the recent "Who owns Britain" exposés, which looks at land ownership in Britain. Last I checked they weren't making any more land, and a huge percentage of British land is held by nobility who passed it down from the times of William the Conqueror. Am I supposed to think it "just" that someone never has to work a day in their life, while their tenant farmers toil to pay rent, because their great great ... great great grandaddy was friends with a French king?
i think cloud providers have little incentive to help you develop and test everything locally, since they benefit more from onboarding you quickly into using their infrastructure, which they can much better monetize on. it seems to me that a completely local cloud stack would be threatening to cloud providers also in that you can then start running non-critical applications on-prem at no cost.
If you're talking just about FOSS software availability, sure, but that's not grading the privacy of the app ecosystem nor does it grade the privacy posture of a typical user/the userbase on average.
I am replying to my own post to share something that gives me some excitement. Nothing compared to the major revolutions I mentioned in my post, but definitely something that shows some potential.

AR - I was blown away by the AR comic book reader developed by VeVe for their NFT comic books. I still think that NFTs are lame (at least their current format), but being able to see through your iPhone an old comic book sitting right there on your table and flipping its pages was something magical. Never before I wanted so badly to have AR glasses with me and just being able to read a comic book collection in this way, without the need of my iPhone.

Robots - I was initially excited about the Amazon Echo, but I ended up using it only to set a timer when I cook. The new Amazon Astro is exciting. Way too expensive right now and I am just scared it might be a huge disappointment, but the idea of having a robot in my house that follows me, helps me, etc. sounds like super fun and very exciting.
At that point, somebody should get pissed on.
It's also not just another Lua-like language, in that it is designed to deeply share the Lua VM, and that Lua and Pallene code can call each other easily and fast. The description "Sister language" is trying to impart that there is more going on with Pallene than just creating another new language that kind of resembles Lua.
This poll was done in 2019. Things were a bit different back then. The majority is probably still happy with CBC, but the proportion could change.
GP is exactly wrong. Spending begets riches.

If no one is buying, the future isn't worth investing in.

Conversely, if everyone is buying, tech will unleash material prosperity validating those larger dollar flows faster than "too many dollars" make us "go Weimar" and society falls part.

The mistake has been relatively inefficient forms of stimulus that arguably prop up asset prices more than they increase spending, but hopefully the pandemic checks demonstrate us turning a new leaf there: they clearly worked better than whatever shit Larry Summers told Obama to do, as the original graph shows!
Wikipedia has always felt like a walled garden for certain topics. The crowd sourcing is a nice window dressing for an end product which can be highly partisan where it matters.

That said, I think you would do well to distinguish between the CCP and China the nation.

Tasmota is a fully open source firmware that can be flashed onto lots of cheap WiFi smart plugs and bulbs, and has a lot of power-user features. "Sonoff" hardware is probably the best supported, and is very cheap.
Perhaps you’re feeling like everything has been done before. Consider a particular area and imagine how it could be if only a few things are changed. For example, we know where social media got us. How did it evolve to get to this point? Is there a better alternative? Build a better experience or work with others to cut a new path of least resistance.

You may have enjoyed mining Bitcoin, but there’s more to blockchain technology than that. I’m surprised you didn’t mention NFTs or dapps. Search for Web3 if you’re into playing buzzword bingo.

A part of Oculus may have sewn the seeds of fascism that we recently witnessed and are experiencing the effects of as we attempt to squash it back under the rock it crawled out from, but their corporate overlords still feel strongly enough about it to announce they’re dropping a considerable chunk of cash to swindle everyone into thinking they’ve created a “metaverse” instead of another walled garden. There’s a ton of work happening in the VR/AR/XR space that is approachable. Look beyond gaming to AEC and manufacturing applications.

The new 5G phone books are coming! Get ready for that.

Solar and alternative power is only getting bigger. We’ve experienced some technical difficulties getting a certain segment of the population to transition away from fossil fuels, but if we can get an electric car into space, we can hopefully get one in NASCAR.

And I’m sure you’ve seen all the robots, right? The Roomba folks have a nice platform, but there are many others out there. Add a camera, a laser, and a bit of deep learning into the mix and you’ve got yourself hours of entertainment.

Go back and watch Douglas Engelbart’s mother of all demos and you’ll see that some things have progressed further than others. Why is that?

Find what interests you and dig deeper. Make something that works for you and show others the way.
> People aren't rational

People are rational by nature, but they can either choose irrationality because pride stands in the way of accepting the truth, or because of some mental defect or error.

> Going with reality is the safe bet. But real winners, and real leaders, can look for an edge by skirting the safe bet. Maybe reality will slam them in the face for it, but it may not. If it always did, we wouldn't have to write articles about it.

No idea what you're claiming here with this mumbo jumbo. Reality is nonnegotiable. It's already here. It doesn't consult with us. You can't skirt it because it is the case. What you can do is skirt something undesirable by acknowledging that things as they are are headed in the direction of the undesirable and change course, or repair after you've gotten into a undesirable place.
How are submarine cables installed?
There is also Step Functions Local (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/sfn-loc..., it is also integrated with LocalStack). I built it as a side project when I was at AWS, motivated by the same frustrations. The best way to get these prioritized is to request it through your account manager/SA/etc. AWS does listen closely to customer feature requests.
Can anyone tell me the problem the mob has with the MFE framework vs AA?

Is it just coming from the wrong person?

Is racism so bad in America that it is worse to be the black son of two wealthy Ivy educated lawyers, who attends private schools in NY, versus a white son with one parent in jail and the other addicted to meth in the backwaters of West Virginia who sometimes attends a broken public school when he isn't raising his 3 year old sister? Because right now affirmative action says the black guy needs the leg up in this scenario.
I don’t do this and it seems like a hassle but it is an interesting question: would this be more or less private than a single device?

One thing I can think of is most tracking algorithms probably assume each user has a single cell phone (either explicitly or the ML data is biased in that direction). So splitting your time across two devices probably messes with whatever user-behavior buckets they place you in. They might think you’re two people in the same household, for example.

That's what 6502 assembly was for!
I've built a small-medium sized project around this library and React on the front end:

https://github.com/djipco/webmidi

You can send and receive MIDI messages with this library both from the browser and within a Node context.

Along the lines of the React/browser lifecycle, I would be careful with listening to MIDI inputs.

You have to add guards for when an input no longer exists and be careful when creating listeners. React Hooks help with this but it's easy to create footguns if you're reading and sending MIDI data.
A lot of folks here seem to believe the web is currently decentralized.

But consider:

- if Google were to stop functioning tomorrow, would you still be able to identify yourself to the web sites you use?

- if dang decided to censor your HN comments, could you or I easily spin up an instance of HN that ignored that censorship?

- if someone were to come up with a better algorithm for generating your Twitter feed, could they implement it and attract users to their site?

The way the web works today, we don't have equal access to the data that powers the applications we use.

I'm not saying which is better, but the type of decentralization envisaged by web3 proponents goes further than what we have today.
> revolving door (Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the FDA who accelerated the agency’s drug approval process, now sits on Pfizer’s board.)

This seems very, very concerning and presents a conflict of interest. Can someone help me understand how that is not the case?
Sure; and there were massive civilian casualties in WWII. If WWII could be prevented at the cost of e.g. entirely obliterating Berlin in 1935, it would be "worth it", strictly as a matter of lives lost and saved. Would it prevent WWII? That's a valid subject for debate, and the debate would have gone differently in 1935 than now with the benefit of hindsight. Ditto for 1946.
No, because I’m invested in the market, and wherever it goes, I go.

But the people who are waiting it out? They are guaranteed to fall behind, they will be living in 2014 while I am in 2041.

The market will only look scarier and scarier as the numbers go up and to the right.
This is like saying the solution to widespread obesity is to tell people to eat better. Kids use phones / tablets for many reasons and most of them are real
(e.g. keep in touch with parents, travel using services like Uber, communications and other school apps, etc.) — the platform needs to protect people because it’s unrealistic to expect individual choices to hold up against massive industry.
If we're talking in the context of Blade Runner dystopias of a crowded, polluted, dying environment run by powerful corporations, then the Federation is nothing like that. Certainly not on Earth. As far as diversity goes, that's just a matter of what was allowed on tv at the time. TOS certainly portrayed a society where racism was no longer an issue, so I think we can safely attribute the same to LGBTQ equality. It was implied and nothing in any of the shows suggest otherwise to my knowledge.
No clue why I didn’t bother mentioning it, but agreed! Along with crossword puzzles the local newspaper classifieds section has that same hyper local peep into what’s going on around you from lawsuits (sometimes very funny notices/threats are published) to community charity events that probably haven’t yet found their way to a tweet or timeline post

Good call out
There seem to be many frivolous uses of power to complain about when you get to this level of power use.

GIMPS' ~1PetaFLOPS[1] uses no more than a megawatt [2].

That's about 10 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) over a year [3].

The average US house uses about 10 MWh in a year [4] so GIMPS = the electrical power use of ~1,000 households. Portland reduced their power consumption by 20 GWh by switching their street lights to LEDs[5].

The electrical consumption for Superbowl parties is an estimated 75 GWh [6]. (I think Superbowl parties are far more frivolous.)

[1] - https://www.mersenne.org/primenet/

[2] from 2012, "HP plans to deliver a full peak petaflop with just a single megawatt" - https://www.hpcwire.com/2012/09/05/hp_intel_score_petaflop_s...

[3] 365.25days * 24hours/day * 1MW / 1000 = 8.8 GWh

[4] "In 2020, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,715 kilowatthours (kWh)" https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3

Any conversation about privacy needs to be centered around the threat model:

Worried about state actors? More power to you, but good luck with that. Most people don't have the time, energy or paranoia (justified or not) to figure that out and keep on top of it.

Worried about stalker capitalism? Google is eagerly selling your data to the highest bidder = I have zero faith that their OS isn't snarfing up everything it can to sell to anyone who will pay. Apple has a different business model = I have some faith that they aren't selling my data.
FUD just pushes people away. If you cannot act in a truthful manner you legitimize their beliefs. When you know better and give up on truth, you lose.

The single simplest summation of the concept of evil is "the end justifies the means".
Sounds like you got a bad battery and would've qualified for a free replacement. Or a free rake. I can mow for over an hour on a 3-hour charge.
I don't think I can reason about real-world applications for a show's themes without considering the real world. That's the topic of discussion here. One of the actors in TOS was a closeted gay man who spent part of his childhood in a Japanese internment camp. Gene Roddenberry was an idealist. His utopia was nonsense. Berman was annoying to work with[0], but his version of Trek was more realistic without losing the optimism and turning grimdark. Roddenberry's utopia needed a genocide and apocalyptic world war to wipe out all the difficult problems getting from A to B.

Much of what we call "reality" is really just social consensus, and thus is liable to negotiation and redefinition.
Yes. So we have court-ordered child support payments, that were not paid by a South Dakota trust, shielded by state laws.

I'm not sure how a California DA choosing to prosecute or not is supposed to opine on those facts.
I mean, I guess it's just a matter of perspective. If you think having an entrenched class system is good, then I guess nothing is "wrong" with it.

Sure, early on in the system it's possible for it to be fairly competitive. You have a mix of responsible and irresponsible families passing down wealth, and the ones that do it best will retain their wealth the longest. But over time it becomes a very different game. Take a look through history; the stories it tells don't look good for the bulk of the working class.

It's one thing to be able to leave your wealth to your children, it's another thing to have a completely protected trust that is exempt taxes. The longer this runs, the less money forced back into the economy and through compounding interest it becomes impossible for a new set of "nobility" to reasonable ever achieve the same status.

It is a zero sum game, as there is effectively a limited amount of wealth. And the more it becomes centralized around a noble class the less everyone else has.

You can leave money to your children today, it's not like that's not possible. So I am not sure what you're on about. The loophole being discussed here is doing it free from taxes. Like Elon Musk won't need to shelter his kids kids kids from taxes on his billions. If you make enough money that can be true for you too. But yeah, you might need to teach your kids proper financial skills so that they don't blow through what you leave them so it reaches your grandchildren.

You can already setup a trust today for your kids. You can leave your kids shares in a brokerage account and that has some pretty solid tax advantages. There are a ton of ways to leave behind your wealth that doesn't require completely untaxed assets.
Because when spending is insufficient the prop up employment, money flows to advertising to squeeze out every last bit of demand, rather than productive capacity so supply can keep up with demand.
