The free time of people in rural areas is not quite as important, politically speaking, as the free time of people in cities. By the very nature of cities, people inside them can reach other people more readily and social movements will spread quicker in cities than in thinly populated areas.

So, in the earlier time when people in rural areas had a lot of free time they couldn't really do a lot with that free time in a political sense. But after industrialization caused a huge migration towards cities, some of the people took their newfound free time after WW2 and used it to rally people towards ideological causes. Obviously this is a threat to entrenched interests who don't want any new ideologies to gain momentum as they benefit from the status quo. The article makes the claim that by making mindless entertainment available to all, many of these ideological shifts were deprived of energy and this stabilized society somewhat.
Mostly middle and lower-middle class people really, though imagine it applying to pawn shop collateralized loans. It would probably be deployed in that fashion in some misguided fashion 'to discourage usury', at which point it will really fuck over the poor.

When you take out a collateralized loan, you still have to pay it back.

FM was always possible with analog, but it sounded like a mess because you need digital stability to make consistent sounds. Tiny frequency variations that add drift to analog sounds and make them interesting will completely destroy an analog FM patch and turn into unplayable noise.

If you really want to explore FM you can write your own code and create algorithms with as many carriers/oscillators as you like. This turns out to be less interesting than it might be, although if you use a lot of carrier/modulator pairs you get a kind of spicy variation on additive.

It gets much more interesting when you add formants and other variations like the later FS1R synth did.

If you want to keep the modular approach the various digital modulars - Reaktor, VCV Rack, Voltage Modular, etc - give you clean FM with patch cords.

Routers are optimized to know where to send packets given a destination address, not to know what source addresses are valid given a packet is received.

In some cases, it's simple, one address/subnet per port, would be 'easy' to enforce; this is often the case for normal residential connections and commercial users that didn't bring their own IPs. In other cases, networks are connected to networks and what to send there and what is ok to receive may not be the same and may also be dynamic.
First thing I would do is take some time off. Even if it is just a week or two.

As far as a job goes, either one is fine. Working for a larger established company will teach you some stuff you probably haven't picked up. I would argue this is what you should do next.
Clay Shirky wrote a whole book about this - "Cognitive Surplus" (2011)

That key bit about the person-hours in Wikipedia always stuck in my head - 100 million hours to build wikipedia, versus 200 billion hours per year watching TV.

And when people panic about kids amount of screen time these days, I think 'well at least it involves making choices' - which link to click, which tweet to like, which bit of candy to crush etc. Whereas in the decades that our societies spent glued to tv, a handful of massively centralised outfits somewhere got the privilege of beaming their own curated stuff straight into millions of peoples faces. They chose the content and the schedule and millions of people just turned up every day and sat infront of it.

Broadcast TV is a really weird phenomenon, looking back on it from here.

Thank you for the feedbacks and kind words! They're very helpful.

1) I've changed the banner description to include all housing types. And thanks for letting me know about this. Where did you find this information about the situation in Switzerland?

2) This is a very good point. We've moved it to the last step of the form. We need the emails to inform the users afterwards, so I think it's necessary. Unless you have a better idea.

3) Yeah, we spent very little time to decide on the name because we had to ship fast and move fast. Hence, this is why you might be confused now. It's likely that we change the name in the future, but that's a success story for another time.

4) This is another very good point. I've added this to the FAQs. However, should we also include this in the pricing page?

5) To make the pricing simple, we make it fixed for every type of rental. We're just going with this for now and see.

Going digital is not about cheat prevention, but about saving time, saving resources and being accessible.
I have no problem believing (and participating) in science. I’m not so fond with how science is reported as most of those doing so have no clue about the topic and usually follow an agenda when doing so. Virtually everybody thinks science is what is talked about in sound bites on various programs. So it’s not surprising when things disagree or change with the wind.

How many realize that “facts” can change particularly in new fields or topics.
Moving requires being able to afford the buy-in and, for families who don't earn enough to afford the education of the rich (those seem to be the careers that are less amenable to remote work), finding a new job. The upfront costs are prohibitive.

Basically, the only thing I lose is usually SMS messages since all the other messengers seem to keep message history server side (like Telegram).

> Network tagging and other fun things happen as low as the Ethernet layer.

I see the IP packet ID field (which appears to have this very use prohibited?) and the 802.1Q VLAN tag on Ethernet frames (a 32-bit value). Is that what you're referencing? Does that mean the idea is each network tagging traffic during transit within their network, with a process for downstream entities to request logged tracking data? I got the impression you meant for the end recipient to receive the intermediate tracking markers alongside the sender's original data, but maybe I misunderstood :)

> Not sure this would be enough, I think ISPs generally have complete ranges of IP addresses so it would be trivial for an attacker to create a list of "valid" IPs to use.

It would prevent the reflection portion of these attacks (a bot could only reflect traffic back into its own IP block, not towards an arbitrary global target), and knowing which networks originated the traffic would enable other countermeasures.
There's no reason you couldn't, but distance is not the only source of latency, so you're unlikely to find an existing case of someone doing that intentionally.

Easy enough to whitelist geo-ip matches or large net block ranges for a similar result.

Try REALLY listening to Flow, My Tears by John Dowland[1], who died in the early 1600's, well before Bach was even born. It sounds almost like a particularly beautiful McCartney song. There has been a true popular songwriting tradition dating back to well before Bach, Beethoven, etc. that has much more to do with the Beatles than those composers did.

I've been a Dowland fan for probably 40 years now. At some point after my own discovery of him, Sting recorded an album of his songs. I wasn't surprised at all. It's not an accident that he recorded Dowland, rather than Bach, etc.

I am a major Beethoven fan and regularly listen to him (my most-listened-to Beethoven piece is the Hammerklavier sonata, which I listen to in several different performances with great attention to the differences). I'm not remotely ignorant of what somebody like Beethoven brought to the table.

But the Beatles were much more influenced by the popular songwriting tradition going back to, and through, Dowland, combined with American blues, than they were by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. Even implicitly.

The Beatles had a huge influence on popular music. First from a music theoretic standpoint, particularly with their use of flat-seventh chords as if they were "normal" chords. Second from their bringing non-rock traditions into the rock world, such as Indian music. Their effect was huge. As Dylan said about his experience of their breakout songs such as I Want To Hold Your Hand, they were “doing things no one else was doing. I knew they were pointing in the direction that music had to go.” He concluded, “It seemed to me a definite line was being drawn. This was something that never happened before.”

I won't debate this any more, life's just too short, but I really suggest you deeply listen to Dowland, and then add the American blues to that, and then the harmonic and stylistic innovations of the Beatles, and consider specifically Bach had to add that had a larger effect on popular music.

> So we should... preserve this exploit (since without the answers being in the HTML, said friend won't have reason to point it out) forever and let people cheat, so we get more web developers? What exactly are you saying?

One man's exploit is another mans feature. But more directly, no I'm not saying either of those things. I'm saying that user hostile design, like preventing the user from being able to do something they otherwise could is what causes people to hate computers. In this case, it's better to fix the problem [someone including answers within the test they're sending to the client] instead of breaking a feature so that someone can keep doing something stupid.

Remapping intelligence to certain cognitive performance parameters, many of which can be measured in a very metrical and objective way, still tends to produce correlations. See Figure 3 of this article: [0] - there is a mix of simple perceptual tasks and more complex reasoning ones, which on the surface appear independent. The paper admits at the end that intelligence isn't one kind of task, but instead many kinds of systems used together. That still doesn't prevent their ability to construct a version of g-factor.

And very simple metrics, taken alone, seem to inter-correlate well with IQ scores, like reaction time.[1] This correlation increases with age, suggesting a biological factor in preserving brain integrity that would nullify educational effects of intelligence.

If your version of intelligence has nothing to do with cognitive activity I don't know what to tell you.

It's true that effectiveness in society might not be correlated with intelligence. That says more about what society rewards and the kind of labor required to get it. And I don't mean to say that society should reward people based off of test scores, that's dumb. Nor should we assortate people based off of pure test scores, also dumb.

But I see no real conceptual problems regarding intelligence that doesn't try to conflate intelligence entirely with general effectiveness. There are IQ realists like Steven Hsu that don't do this, placing it on equal importance with conscientiousness [4]. As with height, there are innate and behavioral/developmental components of general effectiveness (I could dope my child with growth hormone to make him taller, or mal-nourish them to go the other way). As with emotional intelligence, being a bastion of full-nurture theorists for behavior that look for non-academic modes of measuring effectiveness, we can get heritability correlates of 0.2-0.4[2], and for psychopathy up to 0.5[3], mediated by biological factors like inherent oxytocin concentrations.

It's hard to say you can succeed without without any ability to learn, but there are high paying jobs that involve mainly physical labor (while taking on some mortality risk which can be managed). And there are people who are smart assholes, and other people who are dumb yet compassionate. So I have no problem with accepting the cognitive version of intelligence as with the right attitude there is no anti-social conclusion to risk. Society takes all sorts of people to exist, even if to some extent, the more well-rounded the better.

Actually, nuclear fission is close enough to start dreaming. NuScale got their Small Nuclear Reactor approved by the NRC last year [1], and a few days ago they announced a deal to build a set of 6 SMR's in Romania, for a total of almost 0.5 GW [2], as soon as 2028. Chances are this could actually happen. Their other current contract is for a power plant in Idaho, which may open in 2029-30 [3].

A Simple Test of the Summers-Blanchard Inflation Hypothesis
It’s probably important to know how close you were to finishing your degree, and if you have family or other support (financial aid?) to finish the degree.

It’s not the most important thing in the world, but if you were close it might make sense to pick up the necessary credits and get the diploma. In addition to having the degree (which can be useful if you’re applying to jobs where applicants are sorted by crude algorithms), you’ll also show that you are the type of person who sees something through.

But whether it’s a good idea or not depends on how far along you were when you dropped, the possible prestige/networking value of the degree, and your financial situation.

> Your consumer phone could be launched fine as is. Most satellites are not different, this is a known problem with a know solution.

Communication sat buses have critical mechanical components: solar panel assemblies, gyros, reaction wheels and momentum sinks, unfoldable antennas, propellant tanks and valves. Earth observation sats have optics so fragile that even applying 1 G perpendicular to the design launch vector will damage them beyond repair, so they can't be mated with the rocket in the horizontal state.

All these can be probably beefed up and redesigned to withstand thousands of Gs, but it's certainly not a solved problem, and there is very little incentive for satellite designers to attempt it.

> But you are politically happy to test nukes in this when civilians seem scared of propellant blowing up?

A mechanical destruction of the warhead will not trigger a nuclear explosion, nuclear weapons are designed for this, it will just contaminate the launch stand. You also need much less conventional fuel if any since you are aiming at suborbital, and this reduces the loads and the damage after an explosion. Military risk tolerance is high, if there is a 10% chance if internal detonation then each facility will get to launch 10 warheads on average, probably more than they will ever have the chance during a real nuclear exchange - considering spinup time.

An explosion inside the commercial orbital launcher will wipe out a large investment and might put the whole company in jeopardy, the energies are significantly higher while the acceptable probability of failure is much lower.
Ask HN: For an Apple ecosystem, Strongbox or Keychain?
So, I’m looking for the communities take on Strongbox vs Keychain in a pure apple ecosystem (Mac, iPad and iPhone).

What benefits are there of Strongbox (KeePass DB) over Keychain? Mostly in the security sector? Are there any benefits today of using a KeePass front end over Keychain?

And yes I know there’s 1Password, but I have my own issues with them, want to try keep it to Keychain and Strongbox.

Thanks!!
I don’t think you can do a diff as there so many factors that you can miss without having a complete bird-eye view of the business or the org.

But nevertheless, this is a great advice in that it still would give you a good example of a functional business/org and increase your chances of success significantly.

I think better to go for an earliest stage but established startup, like series A-B, where they just validated their product-market-distribution fit and are on track to scale, but you still can get a sense of how it feels to have this early PMD fit.

On the other hand, you still will miss on the 0-1 stage and if you want to learn how to do that too, may be worth joining a very experienced serial founder at a 0 stage. They usually have enough resources to iterate till they find one.

Edit: typos.
