And then it got bought and malware added. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20818177

These days on Android, Google Drive's scan functionality works just as well as CamScanner used to. I use it for a lot of cases where I'd previously use a proper scanner - it's good enough most of the time.

Or even Google Lens / Google Camera does a decent job of scanning in the special scan document mode, although you have to rely on the software actually recognizing that's what you're trying to do to get the button to show up to start the process.
I would be happy if supermarkets stocked more than one or two of the blandest varieties of most foods. There's plenty of existing tasty foods you don't get to experience.
It much depends: if trains are very frequent, train stations easy to reach and you only take one single train, that's one kind of experience. If there's few trains, you have every day the anxiety of risking to loose the train and the be very late, or in some cases, absent for the day.

If the train station is hard to reach, you have stress along the way.

If you have to switch three trains, you cannot concentrate on your book/podcast/whatever, because you must always check if it's your stop, and then maybe you have to sprint to take the next train.

Can be unpleasant.

It has many loopholes, such as assigning each of your 5 properties to your wife, daughter, aunt, shell company or a dog to avoid the 5x rate.

Still much better than status quo.

In the end it approximates land value tax, is more politically feasible, so it is likely a step in the right direction.
Thanks! I'd like to explore adding debugging and warning alerts in the future. Right now it's kind of hard to tell if anything is broken, short of going through the registration process myself.
If you're pulling javascript hosted somewhere else to your site, doesn't that expose your slack API key?
I don't agree with this. I use Google Photos to upload all my pictures and videos and it also gets killed when in background. Apple's iMovie app literally asks you to not put the app into background when rendering the video. This shows that apps in background will get killed mercilessly. Some Apple fans might argue this is better for battery, but it feels so primitive for me in 2021 to use a "smartphone" only to use one app at a time.

Try sending media in whatsapp or post a media in Instagram/Facebook in low network condition and putting the app in background. It is literally impossible to do this in iPhone.

Actually, internal gear hubs predate the derailer system, but in the past 20 years IGHs have gotten much better and are making a come back.
It’s very similar with anxiety. You have the specific fears preventing you from doing something, know that they’re nonsense rationally and yet you continue to believe them completely. It’s difficult to understand unless you’ve experienced it.

This is why exposure can help. You face the fear and prove to yourself it’s nonsense. Next time you will believe the nonsense a little less and with repeated exposure you eventually only believe the rational belief or at least the belief will have swung enough in that direction you are joking inhibited.

It’s a pity there isn’t a similar technique for dealing with depression.
Lockdowns messed me up real bad too, and with hindsight I actually noticed how our whole beings adapted subconsciously to this nothingness.
And this is equally matched by the difficulty to re-adapt when we reopened. Still rough after a month already.
I'm not sure about you, but I've never lived somewhere and had the ambient sound on my porch be 70db consistently.

I can understand why a reasonable person would find that annoying, especially after still hearing it indoors despite spending $3,000 on sound insulation out of pocket.
Where are all the horses augmented by technology doing the plowing?
I bought three pairs of airpods and the mic stopped working for each after a short amount of time. I decided to get a non-apple earbud and got the Galaxy Buds Live.

I quickly realized how much better sound quality is out there and also got some wired headphones when I’m at a stationary location. You can get really nice wired IEMs for a decent price and you can add foam tips for good noise cancellation. You can also get a wired cable with a mic for a dollar more.
I enjoy traveling by train, but I'd never want to commute by train. Even if you can use the time for something else, you're still pre-committing to spend that time in transit, which changes the effective workday from ~8-9 hours (counting lunch) to ~11-12 hours. It doesn't matter that that isn't "work" time; it's still time that's pre-committed and constrained. That makes a substantial difference in how much free time you have that's not spent in transit.
>8194 qubits for RSA-2048

That's logical qubits though, right? All of these "announcements" are for physical qubits. Depending on the error correction used, it could take thousands of physical qubits just to make a single fully error-corrected logical qubit.
And this is why entrepreneurs should never be worried about competitors. You will fail entirely on your own.

In the unlikely event that you are smart, hard working, and rational, you will be better positioned than almost everyone else in your field.
The idea of "value" independent of price is something treated by Marx as a normative claim that neither Adam Smith or Ricardo developed. When Ricardo or Adam smith talked of "value", they just meant "price" but in some notional unit of currency which was irrelevant to the discussion at hand. E.g. they wanted to discuss prices in a barter economy.

Adam Smith explored the labor theory of value in the context of primitive societies with fixed capital. In that case, you do get prices scaled to labor inputs, as capital is constant.

Ricardo tried to develop more sophisticated models than those with fixed capital, but did not have the tools to determine price setting, and finally admitted "I am not satisfied with the explanation I have given of the principles which regulate value.".

It wasn't until economists started using math more seriously and included production functions and utility functions that they were able to formulate a more general theory of price setting involving marginal costs and benefits. This allowed the creation of numerical estimates for things like price elasticity that provided useful information for price setting and allowed (in some cases) for falsifiability and even laboratory experimentation. See the famous experiments of Vernon Smith, for which he won a Nobel Prize. https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/SmithV.html

Thus standard economics was able to go bit beyond the thought experiments of Ricardo and Smith whereas Marx continued the process of philosophically musing about value in a normative sense, now removed from any actually observed prices, and far off into the world of political economy rather than economics per se.
The discussion around zoom becomes a lot less ridiculous when you see the video still they wanted to zoom in on. The prosecution wanted to zoom in in this video for the jury and argue Kyle was raising his gun and not his arm at that point in time. With this resolution, and the importance of that question to the trial, it makes more sense that the judge was being very cautious about zooming in.

I can't speak to smalltalk, but I can for Java vs. VB. VB was big in Microsoft shops. Java wasn't anywhere close to as easy or viable for desktop CRUD apps then (could be argued if ever).

Language aside, I could argue that VB6 was the closest the industry has gotten to low/no code for complex CRUD apps.

Race still provides a major financial benefit. Its what - 30%+ of the US population thats not caucasion / very light not white skin? And thats before you look at the international market.

While white is going to be the priority you don't want to fall behind competitors on film that does better accross the board. Not only do you lose the dark skin market but also potentially professionals like school/wedding/corporate photographers who need to photo everyone and don't want to faff around with different films for different photos.
Okay. I get it. Clickbait title. The argument they make for redefining stupid and lazy is okay.

They don’t define insanity other than a vague reference to half of the people in the world having a mental illness. And then they immediately proceed to only mention psychopaths having a lack of empathy.

It’s kind of ironic that the article embodies most of the flaws listed in it.
It's funny, because lockdown actually helped me get out of a funk. I wasn't having to wake up any more to go into work at half five, and was able to get into good sleeping/eating habits, as well as exercise habits both at home and when the gym reopened. Granted, I was blessed to have a job that kept me paid without doing a lot of work, so I had plenty of time to pursue interests and exercise and healthy lifestyle. Going back into the school full-time in August killed me.
Seems like selection bias
Well it's a good thing that article is well-sourced, then.
There is such a thing as ancestry (coming from a similar historical geographical location) which leads to common features (eg., skin color).

However, eg., if you take all people labelled "black" around the world, you'd find as different ancestries between them as-if you had taken "black and white". ie., the label "black" isn't a particular ancestry, nor even similar ones.

"Black" is something invented somewhat recently (early modern period) which was initially a hypothesis about there being human subspecies and there being such a thing as a "black people". This hypothesis is false, and it really took knowing about evolution in the 19th C., and genetics in the 20th, to see why.

Today then "black" is many things but perhaps best understood as a social caste which has been historically invented and reinforced by state institutions and latterly by culture.

It's a bit like "working class" and a bit like "tall people" and a bit like "a nationality". In the sense its blends a political grouping (class) with a physical signifier (skin color), and it is something its people identify with ("I am X").

The key issue here is that there can be no "racial dataset", in that as a scientific hypothesis races don't exist -- and as an ethical constraint, we ought never act as-if they did.

So we have these dual constraints on our theory-building and on our data collection: a scientific one, and an ethical one.

These are not constraints that can ever be deduced (induced etc.) from a merely statistical analysis of data -- and thus (2) is not (1).

(Consider, eg., that by the state creating and reinforcing a "black race" it induces commonalities between people labelled by that category. So if you actually collect data on "black vs. white" in any country, you will find "the categories you are looking for" -- precisely because youve induced these differences. It is in this sense statistics alone cannot tell you anything.)

I really like sr.ht for all the reasons that people usually like it: lightweight interface with 0 Javascript, the workflow, the design etc.

But beyond that, I love sr.ht because the whole thing: their interaction with the community, the way they promote free software, the ethics behind the software.

I wish there were more softwares like this.
It's not a particularly recent idea, I believe Brompton has been doing that for decades. And it fills a very specific niche.

On most bikes I don't really see the point.

Either you want the convenience of an internal gear hub and you have plenty of options that offer a pretty wide range. For instance the Nexus/Alfine 8 feels plenty enough for a commuter bike even if you live in a hilly place. If you're rich you can go with an Alfine 11, Rohloff, or Pinion.

Or you don't want the weight/cost/inefficiency, nowadays you can get affordable and reliable 1x10 or 1x11 groupsets. And of course on a proper road bike you'll still want a double chainring.
Clojure is most certainly on par or exceeds both in business use.
What most intrigued me about Jordania's theory is that it's one of the first and few I've encountered that provides a comprehensive model for the emergence and maintenance of strong, non-kin altruism within a classical genetic evolutionary model.

Jordania's complex, unified group singing and dancing displays operate to exclude free riders. If you don't strongly share both the ability to perform the display and to spontaneously exhibit the display in unison, you get eaten. (IOW, no group selection required--just basic selfish gene theory filtering out the non-cooperators.) Furthermore, the neurological mutations that developed to promote these displays would be fundamental to enhanced empathy and, in particular, the capacity and predisposition to strongly conflate group identity with individual identity--again, all with selfish gene theory.

Another way of putting it is that strong socialization evolved first and drove intelligence, rather than intelligence driving stronger socialization. This explains how the trajectory of hominin intelligence broke away from other apes and mammals--nature first had to overcome the altruism barrier, which is fundamentally limited by basic sexual fitness and kinship. (Closest examples of pervasive altruism elsewhere in nature tend to revolve around kin matriarchies--bonobos, naked mole rats, and of course colony insects--and are simply modulated by genetic relatedness as would be expected by selfish gene theory.)

I have no clue how probable is Jordania's theory, but it's relatively unique in comprehensively providing a plausible and distinguishable (i.e. exactly why it was serendipitous without being a miracle) pathway for the development of human altruism. And I tend to believe that strong altruism is the prerequisite for human-level intelligence. If it weren't, I fail to see how human-level intelligence wouldn't have quickly arisen many times over long before hominins. Strong, non-kin altruism and its capacity for socialization provides a unique ecological niche unto itself into which ever greater intelligence provides the enhanced degree of sexual fitness that it couldn't (and hasn't) otherwise.

That should be a strong signal that the supply of housing is not increasing according to demand and that money is not the problem.
Maybe off topic, but nevertheless the comment was not without utility.
I would never have thought of something flying like that. It's a nice reminder for me that we don't know what we don't know.
I agree with your comment a lot. Don't think of me as a nitpicker, I simply want to add a nuance to this statement:

> Reminding yourself of everything you could lose drives some appreciation for what you have, whatever it is.

I have observed many people having trouble with that and I agree with you that this is very much needed in our lives to give us some humility.

That being said, to some people -- myself included -- this happened way too many times and they can't have appreciation through that vector anymore. My brain switched to "I am sick of hearing this! I will level up and won't have to think about never being threatened with living under a bridge ever again!".

Of course, the hedonistic treadmill the article mentions is very much real -- we are never satisfied with what we have. However, it's very possible to arrive at the mindset where you are like "eh, I'd feel a bit better if I had a $500K in the bank and not only $200K" but objectively, when you've grown up and lived in a poor country for most of your life, I think it's easier to NOT get stressed about the statement in quotes.

And I agree on the evolution part. I'd theorize this mindset of ours has evolved because we developed in a very harsh environment (ice age) and we wanted to optimize our lives for less work and more leisure. Ironically, nowadays humanity at large fails miserably at just that... but that's really a very different topic.

I think his point is, you don't get to pass wealth not earned by you to your heirs. You had nothing to do with 300k to 10m appreciation, so you nor your heirs are entitled to it. The appreciation is in land, not in the small improvements to the house. Owners never have influence on the price of land. That is strictly determined by the surrounding dwellings.
I am so glad to hear this statement from someone else. You put into words a feeling that I have have struggled to express properly.

A lot of folks look at the narrow window of time of their life as evidence for very broad-sweeping claims and frankly, I find that to be very arrogant, short-sighted, and frightening. A lot of people with this kind of mindset are now in high-power positions and making decisions that we have yet to see the repercussions for, with the short-term results they can show as evidence of their success and no concern for the long-terms effects.
No mention of latency? I strongly prefer headphones wired for calls because they affect on lag is huge. Wireless headphones typically have more lag than the entire rest of the connection, usually 100 to 300ms.
I don't get into these kinds of discussions with people anymore, because they're not socially palatable. I try to stay open minded too about perspectives that are not mine, and try to be objective about my own biases. But I can't shake the feeling that much as someone might validly prefer some abstract dot on a white canvas to the Sistine Chapel ceiling, who would more likely impress the fans of the other, that artist trying to reproduce Michaelangelo's work or vice versa? Peter Thiel made a similar remark in one of his anti higher ed rants about pitting a group of PhD physicists vs. French lit. PhDs in a contest to reproduce each other's work better - whom would you bet on?
Yes there's good taste. As one example that I've experienced: walk into the Pixar building in Emeryville and it feels amazing, and different, and better. And it turns out that Steve Jobs created it.

You're paying for that regardless of whether it's attached to a mortgage payment
One theory, and this may just apply to my location, starter homes supply is being eaten up by firms who are going to turn around and rent it out. So they are essentially grab what little supply there is of new construction starter homes, then turning around and renting them out for quiet a bit of a sum that still prices quiet people out of them unless they are fine eating shit.
