I don't except for Ham Radio related things (Ham forums, Twitter that's only for Ham, etc..), so I'm fairly silo'd on my social media presence with regards to that.

I'd be more free with putting it in my Github, HN Profile, Reddit, and other places if it didn't fully dox me.
I see this as a positive development, as a step towards wide Bitcoin acceptance. I think what we are witnessing is that Wall Street, both Buy and Sell side, is turning towards cryptocurrencies. They are not afraid of regulation and will work within regulatory framework. It will put a dumper on some of the early ideas behind Bitcoin and the tradeoff will be a wide adoption. Will these regulation advantage large financial institutions agains startups? I think yes, it will. The cryptocurrency startups will have to learn to work in a more regulated environment. As a tradeoff, I think this market will continue to explode. Can US Gov ban cryptocurrency? Theoretically, yes, but in practice, US Government is not a monolith and it is responding to the various interest groups. With $2T worth of cryptocurrency on the market, there is a lot of vested interest to keep this going.
Just so I understand you, is your position that Sundar Pichai or Tim Cook or whoever is approaching Mozilla employees in dark alleys, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Slugworth style, and offering cash to covertly sabotage the product?
> The problem is that public elementary and middle schools in majority black/hispanic neighborhoods have measurably much worse educational results.

Are the students doing poorly in those schools because they are poorly run/staffed/and funded, or is it the case that the students in those schools have more problems at home leading to poorer results?

In other words, is this a problem schools can fix at all?
That's a pretty far-out use case, if you even specified one. The utility of a long range, decentralized, encrypted mesh net is pretty broad in comparison.

Unless the energy input for production is from solar or wind.

Hydrogen is a great battery and can form a good storage solution for wind and solar.

Where did you get that range from? Anatomically modern humans are generally considered to predate at least 200kya and most of the synthetic literature I've read considers speech likely in archaic humans (otherwise a huge, unwieldy tongue doesn't make much sense). It's also pretty hard to get morphology timelines as restricted as 40k years, especially with soft tissues and the inherent preservation issues.

About 20 years ago I remember it was semi-common for binaries compiled with anything other than MSVC to be flagged as false positives by other AVs (I suspect if MS had its own AV at the time, it would definitely raise antitrust allegations...) Lots of beginners using GCC (MinGW and the like) complained why their freshly-compiled Hello World executable would disappear without doing anything as soon as they ran it.

>Regarding mesh networking, you don't have to have encryption to do that. It could still be very interesting, you just have to know that people can inspect your transmissions. If they didn't allow this restriction, I imagine the system would just be overrun.

You can't have traffic that is ssl, ssh, or any other encrypted protocol. Stop and think how useful a network you can have without that, no emails, no websites, no authenticated connections between computers.

Your four emotional needs ring true to me. I’ve also spent a good chunk of time playing video games. Can I suggest trying out mountain biking as an alternative source of adrenaline? IME it’s possible to balance the risk if you stay conscious of what you are doing and confident enough to skip a challenging feature when you’re not feeling it.
YouTube obeys DMCA with respect to copyrighted media. DMCA is an established system that allows services like YouTube to exist in the first place. The threat letter doesn't mention DMCA or copyright, because this extension couldn't possibly be perceived as infringing on copyright. Instead it speculates about trademarks and TOS violations. There isn't a standardized takedown regime related to those. TOS is not law.

It's true that some low-level manager in the chrome web store organization might just submit to this sort of letter. It would be a mistake for such a manager to ever receive this sort of letter. This is for the legal department. There's no way that a competent general counsel would decide that the best strategic move is to just follow the orders of major competitors. Google already employs dozens of lawyers; it's not costly to send a couple to court. In this case, the PR alone would be a huge win.

Bronze worked well for weapons, but was rare. Iron democratized the making of weapons, available almost everywhere on Earth except Japan.

But watch modern people try to smelt iron on Youtube in their backyard.

Very difficult and time-consuming, and very toxic.

> It is best thought of as an energy carrier, akin to electricity, and as a means of storage, like a battery

Can Hydrogen be used to store energy at the scale of a power grid ? The peak vs minimum variance in renewable sources is still an unsolved problem, and the only good solution (nuclear) has become politically untenable.

> Last, hydrogen can be used as a material to store and transport energy in bulk. Renewable grids struggle when the wind dies or it is dark. Batteries can help, but if renewable power is converted to hydrogen, it can be stored cheaply for long periods and converted to electricity on demand. A power plant in Utah plans to store the gas in caverns to supply California. Sunny and windy places that lack transmission links can export clean energy as hydrogen.

Sounds like the answer is yes.

My main question is how does it scale safely? An acre full of pressurized hydrogen sounds like a Port of Beirut moment waiting to happen.
I can't speak to every situation, but all computer/video game/whatever time limits did for me was make me resent my parents and do nothing with the remaining time out of spite. I don't think I'd ever do it to my own kids.
It depends on what Asians we are talking about. I bet if you correlate income to gifted access, you’d get a lot of Indians and Chinese in those programs, and many fewer Vietnamese, Filipinos, and Indonesians (doubly so if we break out Chinese ethnicities from those countries).

In Seattle, Asians dominate both the high end and the low end (south Seattle has a lot of poorer southeast Asian immigrants, north Seattle has more East and richer south Asian immigrants). It all depends on NYC’s racial mix over the broad term Asian.
Here's the paradox: radio communications play a much more significant role in our lives today, yet there is far less interest in experimenting with this modern (not retro) technology. Even those who are interested in electronics and who experiment with radio in a manner similar to radio amateurs in the past are unlikely to build wide area networks or experiment with new modes.

We are the same age and we have seen the same progression of technology. I would argue that some of it is analagous to amateur radio. BBSes and some aspects of the Internet are very much in the spirit of ham radio. These are technologies that people used for communications and where people experimented as amateurs rather than as professionals. Just as radio amateurs created their own networks of repeaters, people setup networks of BBSes (e.g. relaying between BBSes or wiring LANs).

I think that amateur radio faultered when it became more like online service providers or the modern web: people continued to use what was there, but it stagnated since few were experimenting and few were interested in creating infrastructure.

I also see that attitude leaking into our online world. Consider something like Gemini. Some people experiment with it (as either developers or for communicating with others), which is very much in the spirit of ham radio. Yet there are also numerous naysayers, those who see their fancy new rigs (or web browsers) as being the only true measure of progress even though they can only partake in that world as the modern version of a ragchewer.
All these greyed out comments about international taxation of all things really tells you something about the current state of the HN userbase and increasing political polarization. We even managed some completely off-topic insults of Texas and Poland. Fine work fellas!
Another NYC public school parent here. You are exactly right—-both G&T and bilingual programs are deliberately introduced to schools in gentrifying areas as a way to lure in wealthier (white) families that would otherwise go private. After a few years, assuming the program is successful in ‘integrating’ the school by making the wealthy/white families less scared of it, then the G&T/bilingual programs are phased out and moved into a new school so the process could be repeated. We saw that play out in school tours (two side-by-side 1st grade classes in the same school that were highly segregated by race) and decided we wanted nothing to do with it.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this seems fairly common knowledge around these parts. Maybe it’s the Jordan Peterson dig?

Ham radio on cell.

Problem same. It is not the technology it is the restriction. You use a common pool of radio which is shared. Regulation and rules of engagement abounded.

Still it is better than just radio station as ham is 2 way (and n way based on 2 way). It is a bit decentralised. But read last paragraph. Totalitarian state would not like it.)

Do you imagine that marginalized people go around worrying about what the political opinions of their coworkers might be?

It sure isn't what I do. It sure isn't what my wife or her friends do.

Each of us has a lot of woke white colleagues who are super concerned about everyone's political opinions, though. Super concerned that we know they have good ones, super concerned that everyone thinks the same as they do.

A black woman at our institution took it upon herself to send a letter to her very white department explaining that their obsession with the hidden racism of "brown bag seminars" wasn't helping any actual black people.

It hasn't made our woke white colleagues any less exhausting, but I appreciated her speaking out.

It's really amazing how far Firefox has fallen. This used to be a browser people bought TSHIRTS for. TSHIRTS! And wore them! And not just in SV: I'd see them in the wild in small cities too.

The discussion is always the same, I'm not sure what can be added at this point. Yes the way they're actively destroying it is mystifying, yes, maybe money issues are part of that but god can't you just make your own browser? Mozilla's problem, more than any specific incident like this, is that they've become completely incapable of thinking for themselves. Everything is a follower move, trying to find something popular and than emulating it.

I'll continue to use FF, but only because it's easier to massively "tweak" into a usable product than chrome.
An important note about those deaths is that at least two of them were tourists. With Iceland's small population (370K) and high number of tourist (though just 340K Jan-Aug 2021, far from the 2 million annually in recent years) many of the metrics for Covid-19 have been skewed (tourists are at least 10% of hospitalizations etc.)

But that is against the law. But it's good to know if the law is ever relaxed they too can be added into the list. Because medicine and ethics is whateves.

>BTW how you reach consensus on a chain is different from how the accounts in the chain are secured. Just because all BTC nodes are burning up electricity all the time does not mean that your accounts are more/less secure.

I think you're drawing an unnecessary line here. Attacking consensus is attacking the value stored in the accounts. Attacking consensus by using your own miners to pull off a double-spend can directly take value back out of accounts. Attacking consensus by doing a perpetual 51% attack can block people from using their accounts, decreasing the real monetary value of them.

Drawing the lines so that the "security" of a cryptocurrency only refers to the security of the public-key cryptography involved in it is useless. It ignores practically all of the important design considerations and attack vectors in the system. Public-key cryptography is just one component of a cryptocurrency.
Data? What are you, a machine?

I see a good, meaningful gesture. I see people attacking that gesture. I find that heartless.
You are correct. When you develop a FFI, you solve many of the same issues that are solved in RPC (remote procedure calls).

When you convert Lisp objects to C objects and vice versa across the call, this is very similar to marshalling and unmarshalling remote procedure call arguments.

The different representations and memory management of the objects are such that the two domains are often like different machines.

If you use FFI in reverse, you could use it to implement RPC. So that is to say, you can register a FFI callback in some C code which will pass some structure into the Lisp image. It gets converted to a Lisp structure. But what is that? Marshaling. The Lisp code could pass it over a network as an S-expression (further marshalling). The other side receives it, converts it to a Lisp structure, and then calls a FFI function into C code, where that becomes a C structure. Thus a RPC was achieved, leveraged by FFI.

The minimum requirements to legitimize the use of "foreign function interface" is that one domain activates a call in another domain, communicating data flows, which undergo a change in data representation.

The consideration of different programming languages is a red herring! Two different languages could have a very similar native representation. For instance, if we have Pascal and C modules directly calling each other because they use the same calling conventions and
data representations like "record of two 32 bit integers", that is not FFI. C calling assembly routines and vice versa isn't FFI.

"Foreign" doesn't so much mean "Foreign language" but "Foreign run-time/VM/data model.". Under the hood it might all be x86 machine code, which is the same language!

Typically FFI denotes the coupling of some managed environment with something closer to the metal, but other situations/combinations can fit the concept.

(Claimer: I've authored a well-developed FFI, as well as more than one remote procedure implementations, with data-description-driven marshaling/unmarshaling of binary objects. So you don't have to take anything here with any salt.)

Considering there are estimated to be on the order 10^60 "small" organic molecules (molecular weight of under 500g/mol) that are stable under some "reasonable" conditions [0], even that may be a pretty big understatement. Just consider all of the combinations of polymers possible from those molecules. For reference: ~10^80 particles in the observed universe.

And that's ignoring proteins (average molecular weight ~40000g/mol) and many bio-material applications. A strand of DNA has 4^Length permutations.

> If someone knows why obscuring HTML to force ads isn't more common practice, I'd be curious to know.

Three basic reasons:

1. For websites that aren't as large as Facebook, most advertisers insist on running their own code on the page to do things like count impressions (to make sure the owner of the site can't lie about how many views the ads got). This is easily blockable.

2. It's not profitable for most websites to engage in an arms race with ad blockers. Your web developers' time is almost certainly better spent on trying to grow the userbase, not showing ads to a subset of users who will almost certainly not click on them. (And businesses will often make decisions based on data from third-party trackers that are also blocked by ad blockers, so it's possible the relevant department does not even know those users exist.)

3. There is already a very difficult-to-block form of advertisement available to many websites: sponsored content. Just bake the advertisement directly into the video, or as a paragraph of a long blog post with no distinguishing CSS, or something.
