>This might be one of the areas were probing further may not be possible

I like this way of thinking. As a kid, I thought that everything could be figured out, eventually, in principle. Now I'm resigned to the prospect that there are things that can't ever be figured out.

It's a humbling prospect.
That's irrelevant to whether you broke the site guidelines. They apply regardless of how bad another comment is or you feel it is.
So many people are still ignorant of the space, especially Stripe who's business will suffer if crypto really takes off.

Those who say there is no innovation simply haven't looked deep enough, everyday i see cool new ideas in crypto, infact today I saw a 'streaming payments' service, so you can get your salary streamed to you constantly as opposed to a monthly payment - how cool is that?! Love all these ideas! Seems things move faster in the crypto space, as people are less concerned with formalities and processes. Sure this will lead to some big failures, like the occasional defi hack, but it also leads to brilliance in some areas, so to just say 'there's no innovation in crypto' is complete ignorance imo.
How can you use an acronym like that and think people will take you seriously
It has nothing to do with PC culture. People of all kinds get personally attached to things and take personal offense where none should exist.
I was trying to respond to the claim that "intent is not law." Your point is valid but irrelevant. Even if intent to kill is not required in all cases to get a conviction for first degree murder, under the felony murder rule it is still necessary to prove intent to commit the original crime.
I once got a deal on a 1600sqft apartment in a Maryland row home. It was listed as a 1-bed, even though it had 2 more rooms that were as big as the bedroom, but couldn't legally be called bedrooms because no windows. I believe the codes required you couldn't have more people living there than could live in 1 bedroom.

Hydrogen bombs are endlessly fascinating and horrifying. The physics and engineering that goes into them is amazing, especially when it boils down to triggering alternating dominos of progressively larger fission and fusion reactions.
> Or, you force socialization on a population that's increasingly turning inward, to the detriment of society in general.

College kids living in dorms are turning inward? Do you have proof of that or that is just a hunch?

> ... yet on the other complain about how architecture designed to promote socialization is unfair.

The goal of making architecture promote socialisation is great. The complaint is not about the aim. The complaint is about how it is achieved.

Bedrooms with no natural light or natural air circulation suck. We don't build houses like this because it is not a good idea. Saying that your aim was to promote socialisation doesn't change that.
A metaverse is the last thing on earth this planet needs.
Yes indeed. This seems the only solution that emerged from everything I tried and I wondered if I'm doing something wrong.

It's quite brutal to be honest.
It is an odd piece of grammar, but I've heard it fairly often. I'm not sure if it's proper English or not.

"many, many" is a different way of emphasizing the word "many". So "assessed many, many fees" implies that there were more fees assessed than if they had just stated "assessed many fees".
> Then TikTok came along and it's kind of disproven that? ... none of the algorithmically generated content is as polarizing as what I would find on the other apps.

I don't think this is fully accurate. The big differentiator for Tik Tok's algorithmic feed from FB's or Youtube's (in my mind) is not its accuracy or lack of polarization, it's actually that it draws much firmer and harder to cross lines between the parts of its userbase with an (IMO intentionally) nerfed search capability, so it's very difficult to break out of the demographic/interest bubble it decides you are in for feed purposes. So you, personally, probably receive literally no polarizing, political, etc content that you aren't happy to see. But that doesn't mean it's not there!

Here's an example: a researcher set up a new account, interacted with transphobic content, and was very quickly (in a few hours of viewing) seeing far-right conspiracy theory, antisemitic, white supremacy (and so on) content, some of which was endorsing violence. https://twitter.com/abbieasr/status/1445888305997000705

The US Constitution does apply to anyone the US Federal Government interacts in my opinion, as it is a definition and limitation of the powers of the US Federal Government. I know it hasn't been applied in practice many times and there are Americans who disagree with this stance but they're wrong just like some people were wrong about slavery.

You mean a system built on Proof of Waste where it takes minutes to confirm transactions using large amounts of energy purely to guess random numbers, that's literally designed to get harder and generate more waste the more it's used, and is full of scams and treated purely as a highly volatile commodity with limited realized practical use, where blockchain "technology" is so poor that you can only put a URL in a block, so NFTs aren't connected to anything (and used for many scams), and where each news article about smart contract failures is somehow more hilarious than the last? I sure hope banks don't navigate into this space.
That was unrelated to this change and should be fixed now. Sorry!
In fact I would go one step further and say why does 'where' default to ALL? You did not say what you wanted. So you should get nothing. This should be true for select and delete as well as well as update.

If I just do 'SELECT *' and execute it, it does not rotate through all the tables. I did not specify it. Same with 'SELECT from xyz' if I can not have it empty and return all. Yet where is special somehow.
As its Wikipedia page says:

Although designed for use as a hash function to ensure security, SipHash is fundamentally different from cryptographic hash functions like SHA in that it is only suitable as a message authentication code: a keyed hash function like HMAC. That is, SHA is designed so that it is difficult for an attacker to find two messages X and Y such that SHA(X) = SHA(Y), even though anyone may compute SHA(X). SipHash instead guarantees that, having seen Xi and SipHash(Xi, k), an attacker who does not know the key k cannot find (any information about) k or SipHash(Y, k) for any message Y ∉ {Xi} which they have not seen before.
In Polish there are two meanings of 'meta':

1) finish line (e.g. of a marathon)

2) a place where you can buy illegal vodka, cigarettes etc. :)

anecdotally, this interview with Shippo's CEO Laura Behrens Wu offers one idea:

https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/74462352/behrens-when-...

Their original business idea was to build a usable API wrapping existing APIs for shipping, and sell it to mid-large ecommerce merchants. But they didn't have any existing customers and none of these larger customers wanted to buy their service as they didn't have proof of being able to handle volume. Instead they decided to target a different market niche, tiny ecommerce businesses -- but the problem with those customers is that they have no idea how to use an API, so Shippo had to build a shipping UI on top of their original API offering, and they'd sell the UI to tiny customers, until they built up enough volume and credibility to start winning some API sales to the original market segment they wanted to sell to.
I work in Boston. The office is optional, but going to be mandatory 3 days a week in January.

Right now it's empty most days so I have been going in with select teammates 2 days a week. Sometimes more if I need to focus on a task.

I love the office while it's optional, but I'm not sure how I'm going to feel once we go mandatory and it is crowded more often.

So normally people with mean age 50 and varied medical conditions that catch Covid have 16% chance of being hospitalized (based on the study placebo group). And with fluvoxamine administered early, the same people would have 11% chance of being hospitalized.

Makes sense now.

A gateway to what?
Bad faith might be part of it. I think bad faith is more conducive when neither side of an argument are able to communicate clearly enough for the other. If that's the case, then a better understanding of English is the remedy, not formulating needlessly metaphysical conceptions of gender.

But I still think there is more going on. The subject in question is gender and gender identity. To begin with, even educated folks operating in good faith do not have a particularly coherent account of either. As I suggest, part of this could be due to the particulars of the English language—the auto-antonymity of "gender"—but mainly I think it's conceptual confusion.
Maybe the HN title can be "Please change your mind about QUIC", since that's what most of it is about.

In 2015 it was, sure. We'll probably hit a seasonal peak of 420ppm next year. https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

RCP8.5 has us at 1000ppm by the end of the century. By then outside air ventilation will mostly be needed to keep people in meeting rooms from putting themselves into a coma.
> But also just ask anyone who has used RDP versus something like VNC.

I'm not sure I follow. While VNC and RDP are very different protocols, they ultimately both work by sending bitmaps of the server screen to the client.

Recent versions of RDP use H264 encoding, under the name "RemoteFX". I believe commercial VNC implementations do the same, although the free ones seem to be sticking with their own encoding schemes, as they believe they're better optimized for desktop content, but they're both still streaming bitmaps.

In any event, like others have mentioned, X11 forwarding has degraded over time to the point I only use it when working with locally hosted VMs. While old X software works well with it (xterm, motif toolkit stuff, things directly using xlib/xcb) modern applications like web browsers and the newer Qt/GTK libraries just don't handle latency well at all. They may be sending vector operations, but they're sending tons of small vector operations, which TCP overhead and network latency really hurts. And applications using libraries like Skia (which includes LibreOffice) are doing local rendering and just pushing bitmaps out.

I think X forwarding is conceptually better, but only if applications are really using X idiomatically, which they aren't.

To be clear, the researchers kept doing research and progressing. Whether some layman could tout it, mixing their advocacy with a myriad of disproved cures (along with anti-vax disinformation), had positively zero bearing on what they were doing, and if anything is a massive distraction.

Talking about something by sharing a Facebook post or posting a YouTube video or even HN comment has a negligible to negative effect on actual efforts.

> I think that's in the realm of grey legal theory that hasn't been tested in court.

Johnson v Eisentrager (1950) is the landmark case, but its been fleshed out subsequently (and most of those decisions have narrowed the apparent gap in the Constitution it opened up), largely in response to the decision to use Gitmo as a get out of law free card. But the existence of that decision is why Gitmo got used.

And given the split on those decisions limiting Eisentrager, I wouldn't want to see what the current court would do with cases in that area...
> Now imagine your [otherwise] dream job demands that you strap a Quest on and feed Zuck's data fetish.

It depends on the placement of the outlet. I think some are pretty inconspicuous under tables or seats. I bet there are places that wouldn't be noticed for days.
Residential is different, due to generally higher ventilation requirements (e.g. bathroom & kitchen).

YMMV, but I live in Seattle, where there has been a residential boom with plenty of towers, and I have never seen a residential apartment with non-functional windows. Every room will have at least one that can open (though for efficiency reasons they're usually casement windows, which are annoying in their own right)
About the time I came back to Denmark about 20 years ago there was a bank robbery in Nørrebro (IIRC) and from what I remember of the description it was at the time of day that everyone was heading home from work and the robber escaped on bike - which of course at that time of day there are hundreds and hundreds of people biking in the same direction.

I thought that was a pretty good plan that guy had.

My dad was one of the "original six" engineers that worked on Iridium within Motorola, so my 90s childhood was filled with Iridium posters and satellite footprint tracking software.

I've mentioned it previously here when talking about SpaceX and Starlink. Iridium launched with satellite-to-satellite links. None of this "bent pipe" stuff where the satellite can only route between itself and a ground station in its same coverage area. As long as you could talk to an Iridium satellite, your data could be routed _in orbit_ to its destination along those inter-satellite links.

I do genuinely think the best way Apple could move into the “mobility” market is by buying Brompton, the folding bike maker.

Going straight to self-driving cars is a massive leap for any company, even Apple, with no history in the area. Get people on bikes first and go from there.
This is an investor's view and the subtext seems to be "We're making a lot of money out of this, and I expect we'll make a lot more."

The problem is that it's only an investor's view. It's quite dismissive of Facebook's very real political problems, and doesn't acknowledge that for many people - especially, but not exclusively younger users - Facebook is a terminal combination of boring, evil, and cringe.

But more than that, Facebook isn't in a unique position to own the metaverse. The rest of MANGA will be converging on similar space. If there's any possibility at all of open hardware - or at least of an open standard - it's likely the real competition will come from an unexpected direction.

Social and AR/VR are fundamentally different spaces and Zuckerberg's idea of what's supposed to happen in those spaces is fundamentally weird and very possibly ridiculous.

Between the absence of consumer-friendly hardware - nothing is going to happen until the tech fits into very wearable low-effort glasses - and Facebook's eccentric history, I would expect Meta to fail and the metaverse to happen elsewhere, leaving FB to carry on as a kind of AOL for an ever-decreasing userbase until it's sold off for far too much money to some other large corporation which should know better.
Yeah, a reputable publisher could add a lot of value. I've never read a bad O'Reilly book, for example.

I think my conclusion is -- don't write a book unless you really want to write a book. Nobody but your parents are going to care that your book is in a bookstore. No software engineering interviewer is going to let you skip the interview because you wrote a book. The only reason you should do it is because you want to share your knowledge with the world. That is a valuable pursuit, but you will be undercompensated for it.

(Fun story... many years ago, a Google recruiter reached out to me with a little survey; rate yourself from 1-10 in these categories. They said 10 was "literally wrote a book on this subject". I answered 10 for web frameworks, which I had in fact written a book on! They ghosted me. But I did end talking with another recruiter, and ended up working at Google for 6 years, so... I guess it worked out.)

At rosaly.com we've built our "app" with something similar

we didn't go the PWA way (because of app store), but something quite similar to the article

1. we have a symfony website with simple web pages but with a "app look" (yes no react , no api, like it's the 2000s all over again)

2. we have a think react native wrapper (at first 17 lines, no it's 90s as we support push notification, hardware back button etc.) that embed a react-native webview

so we have nearly no javascript, just modern css and we pay really attention to performance and it's a dream

1. no javascript removes a lot of hassle

2. no api removes a lot of hassle too

3. html+css and we support all platforms, so a good design and backend engineers is all you need

we're live for a year, have raised money and have customers. We've been through several store update (to keep react native up to date and put some changelog).

Sex and race are not two equivalent classes. There are material differences between the sexes. These are obvious differences in even my one year old noticed. On the other hand, it is unclear if there are any differences in ability by race, and it looks like if there are, they're mainly not material to success.

One of my favorite stories about a neutral gender being preserved is in words like Spanish esto.

Typically in comparing Latin with modern Romance, the merger of neuter into masculine is one of the loss of distinguishing suffices. You can't distinguish between bonus and bonum if the final constant is lost and they are both bonu (or bueno in Spanish).

But some words didn't distinguish masculine from neuter by just a consonant. Take iste (m) and istud (n). Remove final consonants and you have iste and istu. So in Spanish there's este and esto. The different vowel gets preserved, so you can distinguish between masculine and neuter still, where with most words you cannot.
