Banning mandates that restrict freedom is ultimately consistent with valuing freedom. Calling that in itself anti-freedom is the same logic as "you aren't truly tolerant unless you accept my intolerance".

I'd argue that that is true of effectively any currency system that has ever existed.

Maybe many are now managed by people who "understand" monetary economics, but they weren't created by those people.
Worth a try, but I didn't have a good experience with it.

Companies can mark items as duplicates without fixing the underlying bug for an indefinite period of time. So the 3 vulnerabilities I found all got marked as duplicates without any compensation or even acknowledgement of my time writing up the issues. Felt like a complete waste of time.

In 2001, in 7th grade at the beginning of my web dev "career", so to speak, I made a website that looked exactly like our school district's "snow day" school closure and delay page -- and I allowed anyone to edit the message. I told a few kids about this -- it was a pinnacle of my PHP prowess back then.

Got called into an office -- a gifted program administration, not the regular school office. I think one of the teachers there caught wind of my cool little trick, and asked me to take it down right then and there. I was terrified, as I wasn't really someone to get into any sort of trouble. I was able to take it down through their machine's windows explorer's FTP access.

Now I realize that this teacher probably saved me from a lot of trouble. I wish these sort of stories were the norm -- where educators welcome the natural curiosity instead of throwing the law at kids who dare to think outside the box.

In the 2020 article two of the 3 reasons listed are changes, regulation and design changes. So it's not really series-production of a single model.
Don't shoot the messenger but my take is that environmentalism is much more than just climate change. It just feels like it because carbon emissions is the current topic and perhaps is the most pressing topic because most of the worlds energy is generally carbon based.

The actual issue that environmentalist want solved is less overall production, reduction in all pollution and impact on the environment. And perhaps a bit of wealth redistribution throw in.

If nuclear ever took off meaningfully, the conversation would change and the Greta Thunberg's and Netflix documentaries would be targeted toward nuclear (or whatever takes the place of carbon based fuel) instead. The EVs, solar, wind, batteries and nuclear are great... until they are the last thing standing.

Again don't shoot the messenger! This is just my hot take.
Look at OpenSea and other NFT markets.

It is obvious from their layout that their purpose is the sale and speculation of the products sold there. It is evident that the quality of the "work" published is utter garbage, devoid of any aesthetic value.

Now look at DeviantArt or any website dedicated to creating a community of artists and artisans. Then tell me that NFT isn't anything but a grift.

Please.

The nonsense here is how herd immunity is estimated/measured.
There is no/little consensus on how this is defined and given how polarised this is it probably never will be.

The reality is that the UK adult population is heading to 90% vaccinated. If you want to measure immunity to death from the disease as immunity we're at about 90%.

Please don't ever pretend that's not enough. I cannot fathom a model even as bad as that used in report 9 where this doesn't lead to the virus effectively dying out in a population.
This will be one of the _many_ reasons with high cases in the UK we're not seeing bodies being piled high outside hospitals.

As for actually stopping the spread of the disease itself, this would have happened much sooner had people caught it and have a _full_ immune response which makes them less likely to transmit the virus.

The point of this is that govt. expected that the virus would spread during lockdown 1 (early 2020) because people wouldn't follow the rules (it spread more due to insanely bad policy and it getting into nursing homes and hospitals and hitting the at-risk).

The initial plan was to open-up once the 'first wave' dropped reached numbers the NHS could cope with and that there would be an open/close/open/close approach as numbers rose to keep the hospital cases at manageable levels.
After seeing the high compliance we kept the lockdown and aimed for a zero-covid policy which is where Australia and New Zealand are...
We didn't see the first wave really hit. We shut down too early and too hard in lockdown 1. This led to the amount of people building an immunity being very low.

During the relaxing in summer-2020 the places that returned to normal the most ended up with higher case numbers during summer and typically this led to a slower spread and lower peak hospitalisations during the winter of 2020-2021.
This is backed when comparing the high number of cases during the summer by region with England and the initial rate of cases in the same regions at the start of winter.
This diverges once winter properly set in as other factors became dominant. This is not rocket science

In the winter of 2020-2021 the UK locked down too late and more people at risk died.
This being too late was a combination of factors "it only kills over 80s" from Boris, the lockdown being too effective, the vaccine being around the corner and so on...

The article states that the collision found is something different than that one found by Google et al.

It's a chosen-prefix attack.
Last I checked Trump had nothing to do with the vaccine other than helping fund it (Operation Warpseed). If you think Trump could impact the safety then I assume you think the FDA is corrupt which means we shouldn't trust them when they say it is safe now?
No - after all, the most common use of digital signatures is to sign documents that can be easily tampered. All the security is in the signature, not the content being signed.
Funny, I read it differently. They talk about frameworks, libraries, and best practices.

Effectively, they're talking about standardization across your teams/services so they don't fuck things up. Essentially, you're taking away some of the purported freedoms of microservices (complete independence - eg I can write this service in brainfuck if I want!) and reigning it in a bit so you don't build a pile of trash.
I miss the old WeatherSpark visualization of past conditions and the future forecast.

They had a wonderful graph of various weather parameters in a nice slippy zoom interface that made it easy to visualize the forecast. It was built in Flash and they decided that a HTML version wasn't viable due to declining ad revenue.

One suggestion; have you tried re-centering Southern hemisphere calendars so summer is still in the middle? The "red dot in the middle" is such a clear pattern, no reason you couldn't have it in Australia too.

>Every time someone joins the waitlist using your referral link, you'll move up the leaderboard. Be first in line for early access to Coinbase NFT by referring others

Interesting (but not particularly surprising) choice for ranking the waitlist members. OpenSea (which is also a YC company, wow!) has been dominating this market to an amazing extent in the last year, so it will be interesting to see how well this pans out for Coinbase. Here's a graph of NFT MM marketshare by volume for the past year: https://i.imgur.com/C0l9O1Q.png

In the case of NFTs, I don't blame anyone for wanting to be the one selling the shovels, so I'm interested in seeing how this turns out for Coinbase over the next few months/years.
Thanks for your feedback!

I certainly have a lot more work to do over the next few weeks to improve the tool, and I think much of your comment will be addressed once I place a lot more weight on Framing (see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28842314).

For your "driver hit the cyclist" example, I would like to avoid confusion that there was a physical altercation like a fist fight between the driver and cyclist. However, I stand by the sentence structure, because I don't want to personify or give agency to vehicles (e.g. "vehicle hit the cyclist") when it's the driver who is in control, and focusing on driver calls into question more thematic elements like distracted driving, speeding, visibility and lighting conditions, etc.

Is there a way you'd recommend rephrasing "driver hit the cyclist" to satisfy both our suggestions?

> Calling them "editorial anti-patterns" because they don't frame the discussion how you would like it to be framed is

To be clear, I'm not trying to force my desired framing on authors or inject bias into articles. I am simply working off of the research I've seen, such as Editorial Patterns in Bicyclist and Pedestrian Crash Reporting [1] and all the other citations in that paper, that there is a very real and measurable effect on the language used in these articles and the readers' perception on blame and preventative measures.

However, I am certainly thinking about the feedback I've received from everyone in this thread.

> If you want to improve road safety, you could also recommend report on the maintenance status of the vehicle (e.g. were the brakes well-serviced?).

That sounds like an interesting idea. I know that vehicle status can contribute to crashes, and legislation has been enacted to improve this. For example, all vehicles now require tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) because improper tire pressure was leading to lots of crashes. Back-up cameras are required because people, particularly small children, were being run over when in reverse. States have different requirements for periodic vehicle safety inspections (in New York State where I live it's once per year).

If a crash is being reported involving older vehicles, maybe journalists could mention if those vehicle predate certain safety mandates. For example, vehicles before 2007 in the U.S. may not have TPMS [2]

> I confess, I may fail to see how one domain vs two vs twenty-two known domains is going to matter, but I am curious to learn more. What are you attempting to do on that domain front?

1. Use pihole

2. Use Firefox.

3. Install umatrix. Open its ruleset and add a rule:

* * * block

4. Install noscript

5. Then start adding domains as needed -- first on umatrix, then on the pihole, then on noscript

Nearly all sites will be readable with only their domain enabled (and all else including cookies, CSS, images, scripts, etc) blocked. Most sites work great with only CSS and images unblocked. This is literally the way that the internet is supposed to work. But a few bad actors, such as Microsoft, have made necessary the complications of cookieblocks, scriptblocks, adblocks, dnsblocks, and etc.

You can't log in without cookies. So those are the first things to enable on sites that you need to log in. Some sites work great with just cookies, CSS, and images.

Some sites use cross-site requests to do account lookups though. In those sites, you can't log in without XHR. So those are enabled next.

And in some few places, like Microsoft, you can't login without scripts and "other". Microsoft wants to fingerprint your device for "security". But that security is, at best, broken. I argue it's much more malicious.

Further, in most websites, you only need to enable these things for one or two domains to be able to log in. Google requires three or four depending on the login workflow. Stackoverflow requires two.

Microsoft? Hahaha, I gave up after six. Now I exclusively use Microshit's sites in its own dedicated virtual machine isolated from everything else with its own pihole and separate lookup rules because I can't trust that it won't add yet another domain that's "needed". I can't trust that a third party won't abuse a wide open system like that to sneak in some additional requirement while trying to figure out what works to get logged in.

What am I attempting to do on that domain front? I am attempting to demonstrate that a site doesn't talk willy-nilly to every fucking body else and provide fifty million avenues for:

* cross-site request forgeries

* cookie hijacks

* script injections

* encryption certificate expiration/hijack

* domain name expiration/hijack

* look-alike/typo names "office365.com" vs "0ffice365.com" vs "office-365.io" vs "office-365.azure.com" vs "ms-office-365.cloudfront.net" vs ...

> If you are arguing to stop subsidies for fossil fuels, sure! Let's do it.

I'll be all in on that. That's not my point at all.

> Without any subsidies and with externalities accounted for, fossil fuels would be even more expensive than renewables.

Wow, slow down there.

First, subsidies are a confounding factor. I don't care who signs the check, we're all paying for it in one way or another. Let's just assume we join all of the worlds wealth into a big pot somehow, and can magically distribute it as we desire.

Externalities are important though, because we will pay them anyway, so that one counts.

LCOE for solar and wind is lower, but we can't build a whole network with wind and solar because they're unreliable. The "popular" (hyped) solution is storage, but storage is so expensive that the LCOE for Solar/Wind + Storage blows us through the roof again!

I'd love to have some real solution, a renewable and reliable source with LCOE similar to natural gas, but until we have one we need to accept the fact that natural gas is in our mixture of energy sources is a good thing.

The Cloud Spanner SQL frontend/analyzer has been open sourced by google as ZetaSQL.
https://github.com/google/zetasql

It is amazingly good.

You give it textual SQL (+ schema + all your function definitions) and it returns a really clean logical query plan. It is also happy to do this via a protobufs so you can use it from languages other than C++. It is also tested and documented up the wazoo. It has been such a pleasure to work with.

Anyway, the big problem with ZetaSQL is that it is not a common SQL dialect.

It seems that the only reasonable way to do this PostgreSQL interface for Cloud Spanner is to add a second parser (and other extensions) to ZetaSQL. If I am correct, I really really hope they open source that part of ZetaSQL as well - it would be a massive step forward for open source SQL tooling.
Really interesting write-up! New Zealand COVID Tracer app QR codes are actually pretty similar. We don't use URLs, but we do use a base64 encoded JSON prefixed with the "NZCOVIDTRACER" string.

1. User interaction paradigms that are intuitive and feel great. I don’t consider this a particularly insurmountable problem, I just find that too many game designers are failing at it, and I don’t know why. The general user experience or choice of controls and gestures is the main reason why I tend to buy VR games, play them for 20 minutes, get frustrated, and never come back to it. And don’t tell me to “git gud”. I’ve been an avid gamer for 35 years, and I’ve worked on UX at HoloLens and Oculus. Then again, maybe I’m too old and set in my ways and I’ll never leave mouse+keyboard. After all, I never did figure out how to FPS with a console controller, and apparently others did.

2. Business justification for creating VR-first AAA games and major MMOs. I am done with paying $20-$30 for extended tech demos. If you check the new releases for PC+console, you stand a chance of seeing titles people are excited to play. Check the VR new releases and it’s still a scant trickle of trite garbage nobody cares about.
I see those as a "gateway-drug" to the world of tinkering, there are so many lesser known (and less powerful computationally-wise) that are better fits for simple devices like the ESP and some wireless communication chips like LoRa and DASH7 that can really expand the stuff you can achieve. And these chips are low-powered enough that you can combine them with a battery and a decent solar panel to make them self-sufficient.

Like you said, imagination is the limiting factor, and I enjoy seeing these kinds of projects popping up in the wild.
> I will grant you "simple", and maybe even "common"... but only because most people don't really understand decentralization and many of the ones who do don't care about it.

So assuming that this is mainly an issue of people not understanding versus understanding and not caring (though you said there’s some of that) how is the Ethereum community going to get the word out so that this becomes a mainstream success versus mainly for speculation as it is now?

A common issue and one that I personally feel crypto in general suffers from is that neat tech isnt a a criteria on which most people flock to use something so what are the reasons end users need to know to be like ah yup I will drop my regular finance interactions for this or heavily augment them with this?
We need to have harsh penalties for this. People who don't understand the complex systems they were able to access, might introduce vulnerabilities that more malicious entities can exploit. An example of this would be a student at a university accessing internal network from a physical terminal in a building, (intranet), and accidentally disabling a firewall, (say to play a video from a remote location). In doing so, its no longer just a prank as they may have exposed the entire internal network to outside internet.

This is a super basic example, but it serves to illustrate my point. It's not just a prank bro, even when it is.
