I have a theory on what your reaction could be, and that's because I've expected your kind of reaction in the past and don't do much anymore.

When I watched the video I didn't really perceive the people to be "fake" or "ungenuine". I think what's happening is that the vibes these people are giving off are just so radically different to what we're used to in society and our upbringing. For better or for worse, we've grown up to be mistrustful of others as a means of self-protection e.g. to prevent ourselves from being conned, scammed, or taken advantage of. This constant mistrust causes physiological effects on us over time, you could definitely intrepret it as causing elevated levels of cortisol, but I simply interpret it as causing uncomfortable feelings and physical tension.

So what I think is happening is that the nature of these people as very open and trusting and relaxed is conflicting with and almost triggering the latent mistrust that lies within us. Our mind does its best to interpret the situation and lands on the hypothesis that these people are the causes of the physiological and psychological reactions we're having. You know, because maybe they're scammers, con-artists or just putting on a facade. They can't possibly actually be like that, can they?

But I don't think they are mistrustworthy at all in fact I feel it's actually the opposite. Just my 2 cents :)
How useful is that list if it includes words like fish, cards, redhead, Texas, and so forth?
SEC Gets Path to Rein in Stablecoins as U.S. Weighs New Rules
> I thought the Federalist Papers were published anonymously.

They were not. They were published by three well-known political figures under a pseudonym that was widely known among their peers. Everyone knew it was one of three, and in most cases everyone who mattered in the discussion knew that Hamilton was the most likely author of most of them.
The fundamental logic of safetyism practically demands opposition to encryption and totalitarian measures generally. If you believe the proper role of the state is not to protect rights, but to prevent "harm", then how can you be in favor of anything that impairs the ability of the state to destroy danger?
Don't reuse addresses not even for the sake of donation transparency (no other kind of donation would get this level of transparency, it is easy to re-raise crypto to those standards and also exceed it)

The master public key will let you cycle to an infinite number of new and unique addresses to send funds to.

But purely client side merchant solutions for bitcoin (and other crypto assets) are sorely lacking!

BitcoinPayServer pretty much sucks.
Yeah, but I wanted full control...
Tomatoes don’t contain any alkaloids..nicotine is a very different kind of alkaloid. Tomatoes contain a diff kind of alkaloid from other nightshades. Tomatine levels drop as fruit ripens. Hardly addictive.
I have hope that we here in the U.S. will be able to get out in front of this one. Despite all the complaining the justice system still mostly works and we have a libertarian streak a mile wide. Perhaps the thing to do is show those in power that they haven't escaped the dragnet...
Is this because people still use Instagram and not "Facebook"?
If the people storming the capital has been brown, it would have been a massacre.
GPS in 3G or later is integral to Baseband Processor which is a separate ARM CPU that runs its own RTOS. If your adversary gets to push BP patch over SMS you're probably owned no matter what OS you run on Application Processor.
That's a good point. The reason they had to get a warrant for Google is that Google refuses to hand over data unless they're compelled to do so (and I'm glad they're willing to take this stand). It's unclear whether there were any warrants for the hardware stores of if the stores simply gave up the data when asked.
I personally prefer the global search, I think the consistent behavior is good.
The problem with dependencies is that you start relying on Other People's Support, and that can vary from package to package.

The support you get from the Apache Foundation is going to be a lot different than the support you get from, say, a React community-maintained fork of an originally JQuery component that builds some oddly specific finicky frontend paradigm.
I was thinking they meant "in Emacs" or "on a Macintosh" or something.
There was a similar use case I read about here on HN that interested me: using color-changing bulbs to shift the color tone of all lights in the house from cool during the day to warm at night. But, as you mentioned, it would be pretty expensive to replace every bulb in my house, so I haven't considered it. Maybe when I start running out of spare bulbs I'll think about implementing this.
Most of the technology I work on wouldn’t be worth doing if the global population hadn’t grown 10x in the last century or so. You need a large mass of people willing to pitch in a penny for an improvement to their lives with expensive technology than a smaller number of enthusiasts.

This brings economies of scale and suddenly 1000 things that wouldn’t be worth doing make a new thing that wasn’t predicted. The neo-malthusians didn’t predict this happening with innovation and markets (reminds me that the US patent office almost closed 100 years ago saying ‘everything has already been invented’).
I write a fair percentage of LookML as a ratio of my total Looker data dashboard creation time. (It's maybe low-code or "somewhat easy code", but it seems pretty far from no-code to me. I'm still a fan.)
I generally agree with what others have said so I won’t give much prescriptive advice, but I will say that yes, the combination of little experience, no degree, and needing an H-1b are probably working against you and set the bar higher for recruiters to get back to you. No degree in particular tends to shut doors at big companies in my experience, especially for full time roles.

That said… dude, relax. You’re 20. No one has job experience at 20. If building stuff gets you excited, then build stuff. It will make you happier, and having stuff to show off on GitHub tends to be a good investment in your career.
I also recommend musl. The code is just much more readable. I couldn't even find what I was looking for in glibc source code.
Meh. It’s only slightly annoying. It global searches by default but all you have to do is click your folder name at the top of the search
Sorry. I didn’t mean to give off the vibe that I think this solves itself quickly.

I see this as we are quickly approaching deadlock conditions. People are used to restarting a Windows box, but I’m pretty sure that only fixes deadlocks because RAM is (mostly) volatile. The physical containers (whether at ports or lots or warehouses or on ships or on rail cars) don’t disappear after we “restart” any part of the system. Without actively adjusting incentives, this looks like a downward spiral to me.
Looks great - exactly what I've always wanted to do with a Pi. Won't be buying one however, as the price is frankly outrageous; considering what you can get from a NUC or a Lenovo ThinkCentre, I would want to pay no more than £100 for the novel components, then bring my own CM4 and drives.
Anthony Fauci Has Been Abusing Animals for 40 Years
Not everyone has access to a smartphone at all times.
"Monkeys had parts of their brains destroyed with acid in order to increase their capacity for terror,"

"In 2019, NIAID paid $1.68 million to inject and force feed toxic drugs to 44 beagle puppies, before killing and cutting them open. NIAID paid for the dogs to undergo “cordectomy,” also known as “de-barking,” which is when the dogs’ vocal cords are severed so that lab technicians don’t have to hear them cry and howl in distress."

"Pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and monkeys were subjected to agonizing pain without anesthesia. These included infecting pigs with a virus that causes “acute respiratory stress, hemorrhagic manifestations, paralysis” and other symptoms"
Oh yes, the scientists of the unspecified date in the past when everything was perfect and there were no politics and no one was ever subverting science to tell us to smoke cigarettes.

You are living in a fantasy. Science and economics have always been messy, and despite that advances in medical science are now and always have been the best and only real line of defense against disease.
Untill os source code is closed you can't be Shure that they're not do scanning.
“We wanted to shoot Nancy Pelosi in the head”

Storming the capital in riot gear…

If they had been brown, or, heaven forfend, muslim, it would have been an absolute massacre of epic proportions, and you’d want to invade someplace that happen to have a lot of brown people that live there.
Okay... They knew of Smalltalk, and many of the design patterns were around smalltalk features.

And as you pointed out one of the authors had a strong background in smalltalk, and they chose Smalltalk for examples presented in the book.

In other words, they had smalltalk in mind.

It wasn't like smalltalk was some alien language none of the authors had ever heard of, or wasn't the subject of the book in any way.
While I appreciate the point you're making, and don't completely disagree, I think you make a faulty assumption about our collective ability to find a suitable sovereign and that person's ability to resist the very same forces that lead to the inevitablity of corporate overreach. Having a single person with that much power was the core reason historic Americans revolted from the crown, and I don't think they were wrong

Again, I appreciate your statement of the problem. But I'm scared of your hypothetical solution.
The intent is great, but this isn't going to happen. I'm a big Spotify hater, frankly -- but one thing they understand is that the marginal cost of streaming OR downloading a song is effectively zero. It's weird to pretend that it isn't -- and it's REALLY weird to promise that you're going to automatically lose more money the more you listen to a song.

I think there's legs in the idea of "hey, you've listened to this a bunch, would you like to pay more (and perhaps get something else)?" But this ain't it.
> Ironically I just upgraded to Big Sur yesterday from Catalina.

I intended to do the same this morning and literally witnessed the "Upgrade Now" change from Big Sur to Monterey as I was about to click it. Took me a while to find the appropriate link for Big Sur in the Mac App Store.
My problem with them is so many editors. I want one editor, and it should support every language I want to write in.
> Glock 26 - a ceramic handgun that can't be detected by airport scanners (a reader informs us that the Glock 26 is only partly ceramic, the bullets are metal and is can be detected at airports - so we should really shift this one into the X-file list)

They pulled this directly from "Die Hard", the Glock 26 is just a cut-down Glock 19, with a big fat metal slide being integral to the gun's functionality.
Having said that…if we want to talk about addictive alkaloids in our food.. Vanillin, Cocaine and Capsaicin are closely related alkaloids and all have addiction potential.
And to quote one of the other commenters in that other part of the thread: "That’s zoning with a different name."
Agreed, but that one change instantly takes it from "occasionally useful" to "hot damn that's so cool".
I mean, kids occasionally die from video game marathons.

(And in places where heroin is legal, addicts rarely die from overdose.)

That said, death is not all that can ruin a life.
this is a good split:

look up and use the public, free ad-funded network

or look down and use your private, paid-for ad-free terminal
No offense was taken.

I mean, honestly the way we built WhatsApp 10 years ago is pretty similar to how we would have built it 20 years ago... except that we'd probably have had to move towards dedicated colo space, instead of 'managed hosting' bare metal. I think we may have ended up going that way if we didn't get acquired and move into FB datacenters.

SMS aggregators were certainly around in 2000, just as well as in 2010 and 2020 ... although they've got fancier webpages now.

I mean, you can outsource a bunch of stuff, but we just didn't use very much. You can't outsource the core product and deliver reliability, and we didn't have much that isn't the core product. SMS verification was only reliable (ish) because we used several providers with real time statistics guiding the choice. (Of course, some of the providers use the other providers, so it's very messy)
I also prefer search by folder as default and always have to look for that Finder setting to flip. We already have Command–Space bar for quick access to global search.
Meta on the CSS presentation (only mentioning it because I expect the author to drop by this thread as with the previous): code blocks get scrollbars allocated (though you probably won’t notice on platforms that use overlay scrollbars) because of `pre { overflow: scroll }`; `overflow: scroll` is an unfortunately-named property that is basically never what you want. There’s approximately one halfway-valid reason to use it, which is better served by the scrollbar-gutter property where available (only Chromium, so far). Except for that one rare and mildly dubious case, `overflow: auto` is what you want instead.
In what way? Turning the camera shouldn't be needed for either of these? And even if they were that should be a permission they have to request.
>Then there were the migraines. Even after he died, I never got a straight answer as to the cause or truth of this problem. All I know is that he often complained about getting debilitating migraines that forced him to stay in the quiet dark of his room, sometimes for days straight. Jack’s parents took him to doctors and specialists trying to get to the bottom of it, he tried numerous treatments and medicines, but I don’t think the cause was ever identified.

Migraines are frustrating because there are a thousand different potential causes and no one really understands their physiology. Many people don't respond to medications (outside of opioids, maybe) and even then, a migraine is far more than just pain; it appears to be a general disruption in brain function, possibly related to a phenomenon known as cortical spreading depression, and is often preceded, accompanied, and followed by vague psychological and even gastrointestinal disturbances. What's worse, you may be lucky enough to find a medication to mitigate the pain, but the psychological disturbances generally persist even in the case of a successful abortion. Frequently that means cognitive slowness and emotional disruption that can last for days.

Likely migraines are actually a manifestation of numerous abnormalities which are not always present in all sufferers, and I imagine that makes them particularly difficult to research, especially with first order statistical correlational analysis. Maybe ML will help here with the right data. The only certainty is that a better understanding of and cure for migraines would bring relief to millions of people who suffer unnecessarily.
Thanks! PHP is a highly requested language for us and we've been rolling them out based on demand. You can vote for it if you want here https://github.com/osohq/oso/issues/791
Don't be silly.

It really hasn't been that long since the red scare, where people made comments just like yours, but warning about the dangers of those dirty pinkos towards god-fearing, decent Americans. The first amendment protects us from authoritarians of any political stripe.
And/or rename the existing "Name" field to "Named-based Index Key" and add a new field for Name.
People say this, and then when you say “sure but one of my full screen apps is VS Code and another one is the Terminal, how do I get that on an iPad?” they go “Honestly sounds like you might want a Mac.”
Facebook knew it was being used to incite violence in Ethiopia, did nothing
A number of bootcamps, at least in the Bay Area, teach full-stack web dev as JS + Django (General Assembly) or JS + Rails (Coding Dojo).

On one hand, it seems like an antiquated curriculum. On the other hand, a surprising number of mid-sized companies still run on Rails or Django.

(I don't comment on the usefulness of Rails and Django to small companies and individuals, because they're not the ones hiring bootcamp grads.)
The tax on unrealized capital gains
Damn, that you need to do all of that ... My router (FritzBox) allows selecting a device to forward specific ports from and even supports DynDNS.
Castrating your €3k "pro" machine just to run an external monitor goes for a fix these days? Man Apple has it good.
Sure there are sounds that humans cannot make, and combinations that are difficult for non-native speakers. I struggle with long Polynesian names, for example.

But they're not unpronouceable... they just take some effort to learn.

Why do you think you can't fix this? I've never encountered something that is physically unpronounceable (fictional eldritch abominations and extra terrrestials aside)
Would providing free and clean heroin in safe, monitored sites be a solution? Starve the black market of clients, give people support and safety when they need it, as well as the time required to get their life back together enough to take a leap.
If it's not clear on the kickstarter, there is a $100 bundle that only includes the custom components, and lets you bring your own drives and CM4!
There's more context to it than most people report.

Those requirements haven't always been there - they were added at some point not too long ago - so at worse they're going back to older standards.

Also, those particular requirements are/were a bit unusual - I believe many/most states don't have them. So as backward as it may seem, it's not more backward than the rest of the country.
But it wasn't more precise.
You feel this difference as the pull of gravity. It's just that gravity is much, much weaker than electromagnetism which holds your atoms and molecules together.
It’s also been life changing for me and many others with Sjogrens.
You could nuke Facebook from orbit right now and nothing would change. The media would move on to their next target.

> I have spent a long time waiting to see if society would figure out what a giant scam these people were — I am pleasantly surprised.

Society has not figured out shit. It is doing the same thing it always does, lap up the Manufactured Consent being pushed out by these media organizations.

The press is the enemy. Facebook and their execs have no power. They are completely beholden to the media and their lackeys in the government.
Yes, although there is a balance - lest we forget that you couldn’t use WhatsApp on your computer unless your phone was turned on until a month ago, and there is still no iPad app.

I think WhatsApp is in the place where it is so ubiquitous in some social circles that it faces less competitive pressures than other apps and can afford some of these pretty large gaps.
This looks great!

I hacked around with OpenMapTiles to generate vector tiles in Arctic, Antarctic and WGS84 projections (the latter with 2×1 tiles at zoom 0) [1]. The time spent waiting for PostGIS to do reprojections etc made development very slow, and I've put off updating the tiles.

This tool is reprojects from WGS84 to Web Mercator while reading the tiles, so optimistically changing that would be much of what's needed.

[1] See the map at the bottom of gbif.org, there's a button to change the projection
Hear me out: "mapFlat"
Thanks for sharing your experience. That's what I was afraid of when I saw this first advertised. It's a bummer, because it's a feature I could see being useful in a lot of different (ad hoc) scenarios.
That doesn't include the case though, which renders this back to the same state as my current Pi estate, ie "bundle of cables and boards too ugly to want to leave out".
I know nonprofit governance moves at a glacial pace, but surely there must have been some instigating incident more recent than five years ago?
I route all of my mobile data through a Wireguard VPN on my home's network, and everything on my home network is routed through PiHole where I block/disable a lot of tracking and extraneous junk requests.

Generally speaking, this makes me feel a better when using mobile data or any foreign network (public, friends, work, etc) since I know all of my outbound requests are coming from "one location".

I can reroute outbound access to an external VPN if/when needed, but it's really a crapshoot for who you trust to keep track of your outbound requests. I don't trust any VPN out there to be strong enough to say "NO" to an intrusive 3rd-party like the US gov. No more than my own ISP at least.

For someone overly paranoid about tracking, I would probably suggest just using Tor, but for basic consolidation of internet access, routing through a self-hosted VPN at home works great.
I dunno if this is “the biggest thing” but I will concur that it is really annoying. I almost always want to search for a file name, somewhere in the folder I’m looking at or it’s sub folders. I wish I could change the default to be that.
Add to this that most of CV1 architecture was lifted directly from the Valve Steam Sight headset - not sure how much of that went into rift. The valve employees who argued that valve should give the technology to Palmer without license (before any whispers of facebook acquisition) then jumped ship to facebook's oculus. Shady as fuck.

See details in this comment here.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28871907

Oculus is a company that started shady and just gets shadier. They have a cheap good product but I won't support them. That doesn't even get into purchasing third party exclusives during their launch to keep them away from the competition, something that wasn't really a thing on PC at that point.
Many posts are comparing this development to the ACLU's gradual heel/face turn (depending on which camp you are cheering for), but here I am left wondering, as someone with little knowledge about the workings and legal foundations of NGOs, why these sorts of developments even happen. Why do nonprofits not get "hardcoded" to advance a particular cause in a particular way, by way of a charter or otherwise? Is this just not legally possible, is it not done for some other reason, or is it done but all of the changes we are observing fall short of violating the relevant legal code (which just means that our predecessors failed to make it specific enough)?

I imagine that, as a prospective donor, I would certainly much prefer if there were some form of legal assurance that the Dog-Grooming Union that I would be giving money to will continue advancing the cause of well-groomed dogs tomorrow, rather than deciding that it would instead rather fight for the cause of creating salons for cats, or even completely turn around and say that it will now fight against human intervention in the natural phenotypical fur-styles of dogs.

(As a concrete example, this feeling of incomprehension always makes me wonder about "GPL vN or later" licenses. If the ACLU can start agitating against free speech, what would stop some future societal development from inspiring the FSF to release a GPL v4 that says "this source code is exclusive property of Microsoft to use as it sees fit"?)
I have cystic fibrosis. They basically discovered the cure a few years ago. It is called trikafta.

What you are saying is ridiculous. The medical industrial complex has problems, but it does deliver very real miracles to millions of people every year.
