Are you sure? I don't remember them using steam boxes for the Tally Ho. I think they use sawn frame construction instead of steam bending them.

Maybe you are mixing it up with Acorn To Arabell? It's an other youtube channel who do definitely steam bent a lot of frames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOFP4Rop4u0

The irony is that they went to VCs probably because they couldn’t harness the necessary public investment. If they manage to do that now, they would basically have gone through a circuitous route — with anything greater than a 1x return for the VC as a tax on the community investment, compared to direct community fundraising.
I disagree, games are a form of escapism. Nothing is better for the passage of time than immersive gameplay, but passage of time is not always beneficial.

If someone was happy, they’re less likely to escape that world, unless they’re playing with the people they’re social with in reality not a gamer they play with, usually with local LAN or multiplayer it’s different than single player or playing with strangers.
Huh, back when we were developing the interactive Timeline at https://www.edmstudio.com/portfolio/moad/ , we did something similar for the artistic effect: various speech bubbles floating across screens.

The way we approached was that each screen was drawing everything, but offset relative to the physical location, and to animate everything synchronously, one machine was continuously broadcasting UDP packets with just IDs and positions, essentially driving everything. There was some fancy code for failover (there was no central server) plus ability to interact with the speech bubbles (can't recall the details).

We did something similar many times and broadcasting positions with UDP always worked out fine, with a big assumption: a reliable wired local network :)
The Disposable Startup?
I think people also worry about the SIM card swap attack. Even if you have multiple ways to authenticate, RSA token, MFA app, and sms auth, the SIM card swap makes it way easier for someone else to have the thing only you should have.
I’d really love the W3C to come out with some elements that provide:

1) Communication of complexity requirements

2) Explicit password manager fill targets

3) An endpoint for a password manager to rotate passwords automatically. (and the validity period)

All of these would be backwards compatible with grandmas that write passwords on post-its and mouldering IT policies that snub NIST recommendations. Sure, webauthn is wonderful and all, but it’s a whole lot easier to ask for some simple HTML changes rather than implementing a whole API.
This is a great example of a real mvp and targeting work towards solving problems first and foremost. It would be a boon for the world if our industry in general worked more like this.
Would be interesting to use ray tracing plus ML filling in to render higher res images.

The one thing I worry about is security. How do you make low code tools flexible enough to be powerful while retaining security? On the other hand, maybe for the use cases that are well supported, these tools could provide security by default instead of relying on individual engineers to get it right.

I suspect this as well. Would be curious to see your list of possible issues.

> If you don’t already understand what QE in this context is

The title arguably is not sufficient to make completely clear what context is being referenced. (Combined with the source it might be, for those familiar with the source, but that’s beside the point on HN.)

I mean “Does Queen Elizabeth cause wealth inequality” is a perfectly valid question, too.
Is there a proper forum for HN metadiscussion? My beef isn't with this comment specifically, but rather the low quality discussion that regularly occurs in crypto threads.

In the best possible light, yes, it could be interpreted as criticism for the devs. As I read it, it seems like "I don't like crypto or NFTs so I'm leaving." Which again: perfectly reasonable sentiment. That's fine if it's how you feel.

However, I feel a more meaningful comment would have included what specifically about this feature was over the line and why (especially given the presence of BAT).
Strange - Safari supports Webp in v14. Also, I've tested the website on two computers, both Safari v14 and they appear. Apologies for this and thanks for letting us know. I'll keep digging.
All those things became mainstream in a matter of a few years from the time they became affordable and available to most people.

Crypto currencies have existed for well over a decade now, have been available to anyone who wants in for a long time, but still, all we see them being used for is market speculation. I would've loved to use digital money to buy stuff, but it simply isn't a serious option today in most online shops as far as I can see... even if it was, I currently see zero reason to use that instead of my credit card (which has almost no interest, very low fees, and the guarantee of my bank that fraud will be reverted).

Given that, why the hell people still believe it might eventually take over the world??? It just won't! It's pretty clear IMHO that it is, and will remain for probably a long time, a ponzi scheme of sorts, or to be a bit more generous, a gambling platform.
Presumably those corrupt people will be the ones in charge of writing smart contracts as well if you're living somewhere so deeply corrupt.
While automatic conversion might be off the table, any library that expects (or allows) the caller to supply the ThreadFactory used to created thread will should make switching over pretty easy. Just construct the factory with `Thread.ofVirtual().factory()`, and provide it to the library. And if it is code you own, spawning threads, then switching over should be a pretty mechanical process.

On the memory model: I'd argue that technically the memory model would be implicitly updated to treat these virtual threads the same as classic threads. Which is a very minor update. Beyond that, in order to maintain that memory model, the implementation will need to ensure proper barriers are used on pausing and resuming virtual threads, so that a virtual thread resumed on a different physical core is guaranteed to see any of its previous writes (as would be expected within a "single thread").

There are a number of providers that have been purporting to be on the edge of offering Satellite coverage to existing cellphones:

- https://ast-science.com/spacemobile/

- https://lynk.world

The former even inked a partnership with AT&T and Vodafone: https://www.lightreading.com/ossbss/vodafone-atandt-sign-up-...

It looks like they've even successfully tested it: https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/29/lynk-demos-global-satellit...

This would likely be a very high-cost option, but it does seem to be possible. The key is that these satellites are much closer to earth than Iridium, I guess.
Given unlimited potential, no, it's not. Given our current constraints in terms of energy density and electronics size, yes, it probably is.

In an unlimited potential world, it would be great to have a phone that was like an A0 sheet of paper folded into an A7 or A8 sheet. So you could "unfold" your phone several times to get a display ranging from a standard cell phone up to a meter across display. No more conference room TVs, someone will just unfold their phone and hang it up.

In a far more advanced world, I expect some kind of human-machine interface will crop up. The twist I expect is that I think they'll be genetically engineered, a la CRISPR. Rather than cutting people open and putting metal inside, they'll inject you with a virus or something that leverages your body's existing systems to make your body build that feature itself.

I.e. if you want that human - computer interlink, they give you a virus that causes your body to deposit iron inside your ears in the shape of an antenna and causes the growth of new nerve tissue to convert those into nerve signals to the brain and maybe a new part of the brain that can "decode" the new nerve signals.
> In this study, we investigate the relations between video games and positive mental health, namely affective well-
being of players (from here on called well-being)....

> We designed a survey measuring players’ well-being, self-reported play, and motivations for play and discussed the survey structure with Electronic Arts.

> We assessed well-being with the validated Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences [59], which measures the affective dimension of well-being [38]. We asked respondents to think about how they had been feeling in the past two weeks and report how often they experienced each of six positive and six negative feelings.

If you gave heroin addicts and unrestricted supply of heroin and performed a similar study, would you find that heroin use is "positively correlated with will being"?

I have a young toddler. When I was reading about letting them watch TV, an article I read made a good point: babies and toddlers enjoy watching TV, but it doesn't do them any good (they're too young to make sense of the pictures) and tends to deprive them of experiences (e.g. language exposure) actually that does do them good. My intuition is video games are similar for adults.
They actually facilitate no transfer of ownership of copyright, which is something that isn't even possible in many countries, and further most are sold even without explicit licensing. The NFT also does not contain the art, but mostly just a link to the art on a centralised server, and therefore is still reliant on that centralised server being up and pointing to the correct piece of art. This means that a vast majority of NFTs do not have any real meaning, and are basically just a digital coin with a fancy colour.

So the vast majority of NFTs have no real meaning, then add on top of this that a vast majority of blockchains still use the insanely inefficient and environmentally damaging proof of work (a single Ethereum transaction uses 48.14 kWh of energy!!!), that the platform is used for money laundering, that many people are pressuring others into getting into it so that they buy their NFTs (it's also a Ponzi scheme), and finally that a lot of legitimate artists are having their art stolen (there's nothing stopping you from minting an NFT of someone else's art)

Ask HN: How do you deal with an overflowing Inbox?
Firstly, I'm a big fan of Inbox Zero and have religiously pruned my Inbox such that it doesn't get overflown as much anymore, yet there are still emails seeping in from all directions, most of which don't have an 'unsubscribe' option. They are mostly Bacn[0] and half-way between spam and something useful I need to know.

Like for example, Paypal loves to tell me I removed a card from my account, but there's no way to turn that off in their dashboard. They just fire off every activity I've made with no option to stop these cruft emails from accumulating. Now multiply that same situation to 100x services I've created with my account and you have a big problem.

I recently heard Mozilla are offering a throwaway/disposable email service for $1.00/month and I'm excited for that and might try it, but I often want emails tied to my account and not some proxy service that could shut down at any moment and prevent me from doing password resets or reclaiming my account!

How are you people coping with an overflowing Inbox, what's your strategy?

Agreed.

Said family member mentioned in the parent thread keeps a handheld radio (I don't know the exact tech specs, sorry) for such occasions. That said, they mostly use it to just listen for any logging trucks calling out checkpoints so they can avoid getting in their way when travelling to their remote campsites.

Looking at 1980's Gem in 2021
It's analogous to the forest fires. Recessions, like smaller forest fires, help clear out the dead weight. New entities are able to grow in the wake. By aggressively staving off recessions, the smaller fires are suppressed but it leaves an ever-increasing mass of dead weight ("zombie companies"), eventually leading to an uncontrollable fire
This reminds me of when after WW2 ended in Germany, the old German Mark was repudiated and became worthless. It was replaced with the new Mark, and every German was given the same number of new Marks to jump start the economy.

Within a week, the people who had money before the repudiation had money again, and the people who didn't didn't.
It's not really a strawman considering it's EXACTLY what most companies are trying to do: make programmers fungible across domains. Critically; they're doing this because they typically have no visibility into these skillsets from the managerial level, and they typically only have one or two programmers "in a given domain" on a team - even in a very, very large company. The company would like to pretend these people are fungible, and can be interchangeably swapped out, but the reality is they have no immediately replacements on the team.

There's no sense in doing an apples-to-apples comparison when you've only got one apple, an orange, and a pear.
In the 90s I was part of the cypherpunks movement and a total devotee of the idea that decentralized currency, unbreakable cryptography, mix-nets, etc was going to make it impossible for state power to govern cyberspace, and John Perry Barlow's Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace would be made real.

But this turned out to be the high naïveté of a young person. First of all, the physical world is the ultimate gatekeeper, and so unless you are uploaded into the matrix, you're going to need access to stuff in the real world, and those off ramps and real world requirements can still easily come under the control of governments.

Secondly, a lot of "decentralized" stuff becomes centralized rapidly because it turns out there are still efficiency gains from centralization, and a lot of people don't want to include costs to upkeep these systems. As you saw with miners, eventually the folks who had cheap access to energy, and capital resources to buy large farms of equipment, could tend to monopolize a significant amount of hashing power. And when you look at technologies like IPFS, again, people are much more interesting in consuming files than letting their computer resources be used to provide part of the network. I suppose BitTorrent is a counter example since enough people seem to be seeders, but I'm not convinced it'll scale to replace the entire Web.

Look at SMTP/IMAP. Decentralized and federated, one of the oldest protocols on the net. Yet, almost all of humanity gets their email from a few big providers handling billions of addresses. Hardly anyone runs an SMTP server at home.

A decentralized protocol today becomes a centralized protocol tomorrow if there is any net economic/efficiency benefit to centralizing. That means eventually there will be a power asymmetry and all of the vaunt claims of a flat, non-hierarchal, or democratic system go out the window. Eventually, a few entities will end up in control in a way that gives them significant power that individuals do not.

But unlike the real world systems we have today, where governments can intervene when the distortions become too onerous, the current crop of defi stuff has no regulatory system to restore a kind of homeostasis when it becomes unbalanced. There is also nothing to be done if a critical security flaw is found (e.g. SHA found to be 'broken').

Thus the idea of basing a significant part of the world finance and information systems on top of blockchain to me seems both hideously wasteful and potentially catastrophic for society.
Straight-forward these days indeed.

I attempted to use this a few months ago to prototype a unified ticketing solution (just an experiment to see if it would be worth adopting for small internal apps) using pre-existing mongo data. Seems super early to use this for anything serious in my view.

TL;DR - It ended up being orders of magnitude faster for me to just build it from scratch.

One of the biggest general UX issues I encountered was how data sources & queries are defined in the UI, and then how they're bound in the WSYWIG editor. It wasn't immediately obvious and the docs are pretty lean. In most cases, I'd just prefer a config file vs doing everything via the UI.

I like the idea and how flexible it aims to be generally, but its in very early stages right now.

(Small aside: There was also a showstopper mongo bug as well that would have prevented me from moving forward with the tool even if I liked it. It was a simple async issue, 11 line diff to fix, but took months to merge.)

QE doesn't require low rates. The causality works in the other direction. QE suppresses rates. QE could be done at any level of rates, with the exception of if long duration was too low or even negative I which case it may become politically or practically infeasible
