I may be audiophile

Theoretically I don't think there's a reason why it wouldn't be possible to make the sound produced in the audible range the same (preferrably roughly matching Harman target out of the box) for wired and wireless.

But yes, I'd never trade the slight inconvenience a cable is with the amount of inconveniences of wireless. Especially the battery: I grew up having to deal with battery life in portable players (cassette, minidics, you name it) and this finally got a lot better so I almost don't have to care anymore (talking actual music players, not smartphones), I'm really not going to go back to something inferior again.

It's fascinating how well this has been marketed though, but that's really almost all there is to it for me: just marketing, not a whole lot of actual value.

> It's much less of a concern if there's good transit to work.

Even good transit easily creates a 1hr commute each way.

And no city in the US has good transit. NYC has barely adequate transit[1], and even then, the ridership of NYC rail systems exceeds that of the entire West Coast and Midwest combined.

[1]Have fun taking the subway from Bay Ridge to Kings Highway and Ocean Ave. A century ago, streetcars were running across Brooklyn; they were replaced with buses, which sucked then, and suck now.
Concept of inferior/superior is rather naive applied to modern humans.

For example, exposing a particular population to a specific challenge will select for particular traits which might cause slower population growth. For example, alcoholism might be the side effect some genetics that enable survival in certain situations that might seem irrelevant until they occur.

And modern humans let culture/politics be deciding factors for reproduction. This is causing particular selection pressures that are not understood and can not be evaluated until far in the future.
One of the last steps is to translate all the odd rows horizontally by the same amount, so that the hexes line up. That makes the correspondence between what you drew to begin with and what you end up with strange. I'd find a linear transformation more intuitive.
> As Adam Smith said, the true price of everything is in human labor.

Cite?

Also who died and made Adam Smith's word synonymous with fact?

Last I checked the true price of anything is the price I have to pay to acquire it, which is incidentally more in line with Adam Smith's actual quote which was: "The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.". The price I have to pay to acquire something translates to money, that I gained through "toil and trouble" so to speak. Quite far from the true price of everything being human labour.
Haha, what an absolute hustle
also proper fixie/messenger bikes. I used to use one when commuting in London, due to low price it was relatively unattractive to bike thieves and it was very simple to maintain - no brakes, no gears (you had to skid/backpedal to stop quickly)
> "How can you tell people they are not welcome to live in the cities where they work" is a nice feel good thing to say, but those are feelings.

If you need it written in selfish then the issue is that eventually businesses will struggle to attract these sorts of workers and/or those workers will start living rough or sleeping in their car as a workaround. This causes hard to measure inefficiencies or other social problems and this all increases cost to business or other economic or social costs.

The wheels of the economy function much better if everybody has affordable, secure shelter with a reasonable commute. I don't see how its "feelings" state this, its just basic modelling.
The Magic of Integrating Factor
I think you're making the mistake of considering only Manhattan?

Brooklyn[0] has a little over twice the density of SF[1], while the median home price in Brooklyn[2] is 40% less than in SF[3].

(Also consider your density numbers are a bit off. NYC[4] overall has only 1.5x the density of SF, and Manhattan[5] has around 4x SF's density. Not sure where you've gotten your housing cost numbers.)

Wait until you see how Wi-Fi and cellular work.
That does not solve the problem. If it did, we would have solved the problem decades ago

Case in point - pgp supports exactly that - you can have keys, which can have attributes which are endorsed by your key. We've had this since the 90's. It didn't solve the problem back then, reinventing the same thing but worse using blockchains won't solve the problem now.
If the pre-zoomed image was already downscaled (e.g. to fit a small display), then up to a point, zooming should simply downscale less, i.e. remove fewer pixels. Beyond that point, yes, a zoom would have to perform some kind of interpolation.

In the CSI "zoom and enhance", anything beyond the simplest forms of interpolation would be part of "enhance", which is to say, not part of "zoom".

> The total weight of F-SAM is just 69g, of which nearly 40% is battery, yielding a flight time of about 16 minutes.

Nice to see mechanical performance qualities (battery mass percentage), and battery/aerodynamic performance qualities (minutes per mass percentage) condensed to such a small set of numbers. Unfortunately battery and aerodynamic qualities aren't really separable, but if we assume batteries to be a constant between designs (they are all generic off-the-shelf parts after all) "minutes per mass percentage" becomes a quite interesting metric.

So true, should store the unaltered raw-data-picture as scanned.

I was expecting some "transatlantic tunnel" type mega project, from the name and some other comments, but the goals all seem very boring and achievable to me.

When I lived in London, I was always impressed that there were "projects" in neighborhoods like Chelsea (possibly the most affluent in all of the UK).

After noticing that striking example, I've begun to see that pattern (although more subtly) in a lot of cities, including my own (Madrid, Spain).

I'm all for building affordable housing, but it seems to me that the idea of building affordable housing close more premium housing has been around for some time, and I'm not really sure what it has accomplished for anyone.

Are there examples of success in doing this, and what can be learnt from past failures?

> you have to prove that such a thing would be impossible, even just in theory/principle, or sometime in the future when we have better science and tech.

You should take these comments in a different spirit that I intended — I am representing the side of philosophers that thinks ‘the hard problem of consciousness is a real and hard problem’. In short, I’m presenting what this side of the debate thinks, and I absolutely think what I said is true. There are philosophers who disagree with those who say what I say, and we certainly haven’t offered anything that’s convincing enough to be considered a proof. I didn’t claim to have a proof, though I think my confidence is warranted.

> As a counterpoint, I would like to offer the following: our thoughts, while we are thinking about consciousness and puzzling over it and writing posts on HN about it, are manifested in the physical world as neuron firings and chemicals in the brain. A sufficient explanation of the physical world would include an explanation of how and why these thoughts emerged (through a chain of previous thoughts), and this explanation, I think, has a good chance of showing that the hard problem is just a collection of easy problems after all.

Here you present that which looks very much like a standard reductionist physicalist account. For what it’s worth, I think reductionist physicalism is the only physicalism worth giving consideration to, but it doesn’t do anything to explain the thing that I'm really concerned about, how such firings and chemicals are/produce experiences/consciousness. When looking at the physical story alone (the neurons firing, etc), there's no reference to consciousness/experiences. It doesn't appear at all until the physicalist says "and c-fibers firing just are pain" -- at which they are like a magician, having pulled something from thin air.

I say, revoke Proposition 13 and don't base property taxes on primary residence on value of the house.

Tax proportionately to the footprint of the property, growing non-linearly.

Tax non-primary-residence units at at least 5X the rate; tax unoccupied units at 10X the rate.

Then there's an incentive to build up, while not screwing over existing residents.
Hey HN,

Przemek here, Shinji's coworker at Select Star and ex-employee of YC backed startup (EasyEmail / Point). It's really exciting to share our latest project here, with such a great community.

We've put a great deal of effort making sure Select Star solves a lot of data cataloguing and discoverability problems with our design partners as well as during private beta when we worked with many many users to see how to efficiently surface an enormous amount of information that data engineers/scientists/analysts work with everyday.

The author was from Belgium before he passed away five years ago from cancer. His perspective may be rooted in the Belgian experience where health care is affordable, there is a social safety net, and cheap access to mental health support.

If you live in a place where you must care for your parent because professional care is not affordable then perhaps look into organizing or supporting political will to make it affordable (4.

> My personal belief is that isn't the case for the modal HN reader, and that they'll be best served by being lazy and avoiding premature optimization - and if they really want to optimize, maybe they can start tapping into the data that's already collected (bookmarks, timestamped visit) . . .

I also want to do as little work up front as possible, but I have spent so much time trying to find something I remember that I read that I try to optimise the process.

I do that (on the Mac) by automatically indexing all the websites that I visit via the app HistoryHound. That way I am pretty sure that I can find a website again by searching by words (that I think) I remember from the content.

I have also tried a lot of external bookmark managers and have now settled for an app called BookMacster. Reading a webpage I then just press a key combination and get up a small window where I type in tags (with autocompletions from earlier tags) and if I want, copy and paste an interesting part into the note section of the window. This way I get tagging that is non existent in Safari and can automatically push bookmarks back to all the browser that I am using. (Not affiliated in any way with these apps by the way).

Finally, sometimes I wonder when I read a page for the first time. I can't see that directly in Safari as the browser only shows the last visit in its history function. So then I access the Safari History via sqlite using something like this:

[$] sqlite3 /Users/myuser/Library/Safari/History.db

sqlite> select datetime(history_visits.visit_time + 978307200, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as dantime, history_visits.title, history_items.url, history_items.domain_expansion, history_items.visit_count FROM history_visits INNER JOIN history_items ON history_visits.history_item=history_items.id WHERE history_visits.title LIKE "%My Hacker News knowledge assimilation stack%" ORDER by dantime;

I didn't remember where I picked up the idea for this script, but using HistoryHound searching for 'dantime' it looks like I got it at 2020/05/11 19:03 from: http://2016.padjo.org/tutorials/sqlite-your-browser-history/...

So there: Ate my own dog food :)
As Twisol said, zooming doesn't inherently require interpolation. But when it does require interpolation, it's usually an extremely simple and well-understood form like nearest neighbour interpolation that's not going to result in things like faces being inserted.

It also only uses the available data in the image itself on which to work.

It's fundamentally different from neural network-driven inference and interpolation that attempts to fill in pixels using evidence from other images that the network has been trained on.
'Commute less' should be taken with a grain of salt unless one talks about cars.

Any form of transport I take where I am not driving the vehicle myself gives me time to read, relax, think – even meditate (trains are great for this).

I know for a fact that I read most books/month in my life in times I had a job that included at least 20 mins of commute (one way) on public transport.
That really isn't true anymore. Chi-fi iems changed the iem market pretty massively and you can get them with detachable cables for less than $20 these days.
I ran into a similar problem with the website of my general practitioner. It worked fine in all cases, except when using Firefox on Linux, which I use.

After lots of testing and trying to contact whoever built the website I found that it blocked only user-agents which contained this literal string:

X11; Ubuntu; Linux

Only when that string was in there verbatim would it fail all requests with a 403 Forbidden.

After I saw the same error with some other websites for businesses in my town I started seeing a pattern. The company that hosts/builds this website apparently copy/pastes their basic server set up, and so every website they host works everywhere, except when using Firefox on Linux. So maybe one in a thousand users gets this.

I posted my search for the cause of this issue on StackOverflow¹, and even got a reply from (presumably) someone who works for the company that hosts these websites, but alas, the websites remain broken to this day. They suspected a hack to prevent some WordPress exploit…

It's frustrating, because a general practitioner's website should not fail like this (it is a point of contact that sits just below emergency services), but the people that work there don't understand the problem, and the company that hosts is can't be arsed to fix the issue.

> Have you heard of pol.is or vtaiwan

I never heard about them, pol.is is interesting, I will read about it. As for vtaiwan I don't think there are similar problem that we are trying to tackle. It feels like vtaiwan is more like a forum where people who are willing to contribute can contribute, in an organization one big challenge is to onboard people who don't care about collaborating.

> It has the eternal wikipedia-style problem of truthiness

Wikipedia is the reference when talking about curation and collaboration, and being able to have an internal Wikipedia (not just the tool, but also the contributors, the readers, the overall system) is the goal. In a company you can create an approval system with experts accepting new changes that fix the issue about truthiness.

> It would be nice if good versions [...] became available for more of the public at large.

That's my personal long term goal, whether it's good practice, searching for a flat, a good restaurant, ... there are ways that crowd-curation can solve a lot of the issue we have today, there was an interesting article about it a few days ago on HN : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29130017
That $400K house the county is selling. Is it a direct comp to the $1M house the other seller is offering? If it is, where’d the county get the land so much cheaper than the market? If they had a bunch of county-owned land from original incorporation, great, but is giving it away at that price (presumably via a lottery process) the best thing for residents of the county, or is $750K a more prudent use of the people’s resources?
In my early twenties I had a virtuous flywheel effect going, and didn't realize it until it abruptly stopped. It was shocking. Now I take very seriously how dependent I am on my external circumstances for what might look like intrinsic motivation.
AI-driven upscaling which fills in pixels using data from other images is quite different to algorithmic interpolation that only uses the available information in the image being worked on.
Wikipedia allows reframing. It uses sources for their "fact finding" function not for their "narrative setting".

I'm a happy Sourcehut subscriber!

I appreciate that:

* anyone can contribute to Sourcehut repos without an account. Just git-send-email it to the list!

* the development is in the open, and the code is open.

* all parts of Sourcehut (vcs, todo, paste, list, ...) are all independently usable

Mailing list development still has a bit more friction than PR-based for me, but I'm glad to see this being improved.

I'm skeptical of Sourcehut having started their own programming language, but... if it gets the job done I guess.

Thanks Drew and co!
I like the global state of mind idea, however, I feel that it isn't purely due to this state - I think the depressive state is something that comes around due to lots of other factors such as your life, your health, your physical brain composition. So it's almost like, if your environment and health are bad your consciousness will be more "magnetised" towards a global depressive state, and whilst psychedelics may help awaken you, you'll be more likely to slip back into it in time without fixing other stuff.

Psychedelics may be a temporary cure to crushing hopelessness, a kick in the mental butt, but for a one that is long lasting you have to have things to be genuinely hopeful about.

Depression I think is a complex, multi-dimensional issue that has to be solved by giving yourself the best chance across the board - sorting out health, sorting out meaning and purpose, sorting out social and support networks, and once those things are in place, taking your shot at it on a brain chemistry and consciousness-altering level with something like psiloscibin etc.

You would stand out more if you disabled webRTC. Since webRTC is disabled by only a subset of certain users, this makes them more prone to fingerprinting. Going with the setup that the average joe has would be better for blending in.
> I'm assuming they mean the file isn't transferred through the server but directly (WebRTC?)

Why are you assuming so, checking how it works is trivial if you open up the Network inspector. I did so in Chrome, and as I said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29225472, uploading happens by doing a POST request to the server, and fetching happens by doing a PUT request, not sure why people keep re-iterating that it's probably WebRTC when it's really not, this is just a very basic, centralized server that does the receiving/sending of the file...

And what do you mean "host your own instance"? There is no source code available from the website, so how would you host it exactly?
