>> Isn't that only about separating government powers?

Yes.

However, non-government economical powers are subject to laws created by the government.

Anti-trust laws and anti-monopoly laws in particular were created to address problems where non-government economical powers become too powerful. These laws fall under the Commerce Clause (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause) of the US Constitution.

The law doesn't guarantee that people will be prosperous or happy, only that they will be free from an overly tyrannical government.

If a US citizen feels that a non-government economical power is too powerful, they should work with their elected representatives to make laws to restrain those overly powerful non-government economical powers.
Good point. Any of those work, but can be harder for the average person to figure out. The point is don't be hanging out with too much USD.

Edit - actually, sorry, but please don't. I remember interacting with you on previous topics about vegetarianism, and your comment history and name are indicative of some biases and dissonance that you're unwilling to overcome. Even some of your submissions are heavily biased, dated, and subsequently refuted [1][2]. The evidence supporting my position is plain and well-documented in my other comments. Cheers.

Urbit IDs are the quickest example.

NFTs can basically act as identity tokens that prove community membership. They can optionally have art as part of that (like BAYC), but they can also allow access to systems (like the Urbit network).

This opens up a lot of potential interesting things, if you can have ID ownership that's on a public ledger that you can then rely on for access to different systems that'd be pretty interesting.

I think they're pretty cool and while I was initially skeptical of the art stuff, it's interesting to see artists get money from creating things (even via resale royalties) - the best ones are leveraging that to build communities around their NFTs (events, more art, etc.) - like a club.

Ownership and value are weird things anyway - especially around art. Partly tied to scarcity, partly status, social value etc. People can sneer and dismiss NFT art, but a lot of value outside of NFTs is determined by shared perception and artificial scarcity/status anyway.
Indeed, it is. The lenses just are great. I have a large Olympus setup. Could I have gotten any full frame camera? Yes, but for most tasks I consider the Olympus the better choice in the combination of features, great optics and a small kit which can be carried even with a bad back.

For me, the only real competitor is the Leica M system :)

Ask HN: What are you using for static site management these days?
I'm looking to provide static sites to lower-income customers.

Nobody is insisting on being able to deploy with short names (or at least not the people that actually care about this). They are insisting that someone screwing up and using a short name when they shouldn't doesn't go out to a third party that's not explicitly trusted. Making this about short names is completely missing the point.

Requiring docker to be run with a "mirror" which isn't actually a mirror of docker.io and making it use your non-mirror mirror so docker.io can't be reached and everything still works is just a hacky way to trick docker into working in what many people think is a very valid way - where no external resources can be used as a container not just as a matter of policy, but as a matter of capability.

Put simply, it's not about replacing the default repo, it's about excluding all external repos. Requiring they all use long names would be a perfectly acceptable trade off for most orgs I think, if that was an option offered.
It looks like nobody's linked to this older visualization yet, so I will: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/

The non-monotonicity shown there for instant runoff voting seems to be more undesirable than any downsides of approval voting.

IMO the point of elected representation is to be representative, not to elect specific people, so the possibility of a lesser known candidate winning over a major party's favorite candidate isn't a problem.
More like gym, "clubs" (Verein-s), mobile phone, internet, electricity, etc. It's an established contractual practice, and e.g. Telekom are not in any way obligated to notify you when your cancellation date approaches. They can very well sue you, however, should you refuse to pay your automatically-renewed-in-advance contract.

Even in the cases where you're allowed to cancel on the last day of the subscription, we as humans are very prone to forget to do that, particularly for longer-term contracts. Tracking contracts and subscription deadlines is a damn profitable habit that I wish I had acquired much earlier.
The general sentiment of crypto-twitter that I do follow seems to have the opinion that right-click-savers actually help drive up value of the NFTs that they do own, since it's essentially free advertisement. I haven't seen many or even anyone at all who's actually upset, but maybe that's just the group I do follow.
But I don't support every candidate I would vote for equally.
Who said they've promised anything? He said that he was able go get about 10% in a last 3-4 years and that is all.
The way I see it, the constant pressures from ads departments is the issue and having to make an appeal to Google is not a good solution. We should not have to rely on having Google back us up on what constitutes a “good” page. So, I don’t agree that it’s “really, really important.” If anything, it’s a sad picture of digital journalism. I think what’s really, really important is having the freedom to design your site without having to worry about Google’s arbitrary judgment of that design and not needing to rely on pleasing a search engine to show up in its results.

AMP definitely does not hold anyone accountable. Look at Reddit. Absolutely atrocious UX after AMP from what is just a basic forum. Instead, AMP makes everyone - regardless of content, design, or purpose - obey the same Google-approved standard of design, using Google-approved fonts and Google-approved CSS. In my view, AMP is the UX disaster because I hate the way it looks and have to remove the AMP from every news article I read. Oftentimes, publishers have a better idea of how their content should look than Google does. Especially smaller ones which have a strong focus on design.
Fair. I'm the kind to tinker with the old ideas. :D

I'm not really seeing any benefit that json or the like would bring to the table here. I could almost see a benefit to not having different ways to make properties, but only a little. Since it is basically just a mark that is intended to indicate different types of marked up text.

As an example, if moved to json, how would you distinguish the likes of an example block? Just a json header with no closing tag? Or a json header with another json close?

I guess, put more directly. Orgmode is a bit of an adhoc markup language. The designating tags to start and end a block are typically $+BEGIN_FOO and #+END_FOO. With free text between them, and a lot of magic from emacs to syntax highlight based on FOO. Unless you are just going to change to {"BEGIN":"FOO"} and {"END:"FOO"}, with free text between, you are forcing human edited text into a json field, and that is what makes me cringe. And if that is your end goal, {"BEGIN":"FOO"} is actually a chore to type and read.

Yes, it composes somewhat nicely such that

#+NAME: Example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(+ 3 2)
#+END_SRC

could be:

{"NAME":"EXAMPLE", "BEGIN": "src", "lang": "lisp"}
(+ 3 2)
{"END":"src"}

But, quite frankly, that looks worse to me. What is json bringing to the table?
That's opposite of my knowledge about this but I'm a decade+ out of date, so possibly this isn't as much a factor as it used to be, but the cost of the ground was a substantial factor in solar installations in days past.

Palm oil isn't really in the same category as the vegetable oils that have had concern raised about them recently. It's not from a seed, so doesn't need a highly involved process to get meaningful amounts of it. Cold pressed palm oil has been in use for thousands of years. It's more like olive oil in this regard. (Of course, you can still refine it, and it often is refined. But it's not as easily oxidized as oils with a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, so less concerning in that regard.)
I don't support every candidate on the ballot equally because I believe every candidate's abilities to do the job vary. First choice, second choice, third choice is not hard to explain and I do not understand why some people think Americans have been lobotimized.

> Therefore, a good diagnostic question to ask might be: would you still be curious about Web3 if those currencies were worthless, in dollar terms? For some people, the answer is “yes, absolutely”, because they find the foundational puzzles so compelling. For others, if they’re honest, the answer is “nnnot reallyyy”.

Can we add group #3, people who are profoundly uninterested in this version of Web3 even despite all the money in it?

I was a fan of decentralisation when it stood for federated software and the idea that the web should generally be the same for hobbyists and professionals.

I really can't see a desirable vision of the future with a web based on artificial scarcity, intentional resource waste and anarchocapitalism.

We see the value in fuels like diesel being highly energy-dense. If we used the sun to create fuel like hydrogen or electricity, what is against simply creating (purified in some sense) man-made diesel and continue to use combustion engines?

We would not be contributing to the overall contribution of greehouse gases. Some arguments are diesel and friends are safer in storage and transportation than hydrogen.

Lame. Web3 used to mean the semantic web. That died. Even before that died social media marketers were already using the term Web3.0 to refer to some advertising nonsense.

Now it seems it is something vaguely related to blockchain. At the moment blockchain is directly tied to crypto currency, which to almost everybody looks like a giant Ponzi scheme.

Until the concept of blockchain is completely divorced from crypto currencies they can name this nonsence whatever they want. It won't stick. Nobody cares except for the few people already making money off this.
Yes, perhaps. At the very least, adding a variable shutter and extra logic will drive up the price of the camera, which will be some consolation.
Dont you think users with malintent abuse the platform irrespective of whether a card is on file or not?
As someone who likes NFTs in theory, the "it's just a url" problem is a real stumbling block for me, because it's a point of fragility for the asset.

If the NFT is just a URL, and there's nothing within the NFT itself that provably links it to a specific work of media, and ideally a signature from the original artist, then there's no way to be absolutely certain that the piece of media currently vended by the URL is in fact the same piece of media vended 10 years ago when it was minted. You could have a situation where people mint NFTs as "shell art" that they trade back and forth to create some kind of established history of value, and then stick in some new piece of art at a later date with a false history of value. Or the URL host could go under or get corrupted by bad actors and start vending the wrong data, and still, you'd have no way to prove what the original digital media was.

That's honestly a blocker for me.

Now, if the NFT actually included a hash of the media AND a digital signature of the artist that could be externally verified, then I might be interested.

I think there's some confusion about the meaning of fixed. In Germany, rates are fixed for a period of time for a lot of mortgages. That would be considered an adjustable rate mortgage in the US.

Fixed rate in the US means it's fixed at loan origination for the entire life of the loan.

Really really love Antora. I've been pushing hard for it for internal docs -- one very nice attribute is that it can collate docs from multiple Git repos. This way, you can have documentation close to the code, like I want as a developer, while having a single "documentation site" like most management and non-technical users want.

That's a weirdness for the Presidential election, the only elected national office holder. That one is weird a lot of different ways.

But for the various state and district offices, that doesn't matter. There, you really are voting at the same time as all of the other people with an interest in it.

I'd say the bigger issue is that for a number of places, only one party really has a chance, and the general election is a foregone conclusion. Voters really only get one bite at the apple, during the primaries. (The voters for the other party never really get a bite at the apple, but they are so far outnumbered that no tweak to the voting system will fix that. They have to hope that the elected representative will keep their interests in mind.)
>> It is not, in fact, "unambiguously a lie" to relate to others deBoer's grave (and admitted, and unambiguously real) misconduct without the full context of his mental illness.

Coincidentally I've been discussing this very issue the past week. I asked the question "when is it lying to say something that is true?"

The example I gave someone was this: You sleep in and arrive late to work. When asked "why are you late" you respond with "traffic was terrible, there was a crash and a backup" which is actually true on that day. The statement is true, but it may in fact be a lie. If you overslept so much that you would have been late regardless of traffic then what you've said is "I'm late because of traffic" which is a lie because you would have been late regardless of traffic. Excuses are often this kind of lie. Sometimes a true statement is a partial truth, but not the larger one that is being concealed while saying it.

Another example: A friend is a therapist and someone in his office died and they're sending all the deceased clients (patients) to others in the office. They've been instructed to tell the patients that their therapist no longer works there as a reason for the change. Is that a lie? I think so even though it's technically true. They fear some people will be too upset at the truth. But IMHO therapists lie too much already and when this "lie" comes to light the clients will be even more devastated than just telling them the truth. My recommendation of course is not to follow those instructions - have some integrity.

TLDR: When is it a lie to say something that is true?
I did not investigate it properly but at first glance the efficiency is obtained via low current density of the electrolyser. That means high efficiency but low volume. That translates to more hardware needed to produce a unit of power.

State of the art electrolyzers are run at 1000x current densities. That roughly means 1000x installation cost.

you could certainly include character traits among choice decisions, but that's more fraught by subjectivity. that said, that's the magic of conjoint done well: turning subjective hidden preferences into (more) objective choice revelation.

currently, there is no option to choose a candidate supporting marijuana legalization, $15 minimum wage, pro-life, and pro-gun policies (as an example), since we practically only have two relatively fixed packages of pre-ordained, all-or-nothing policy positions to choose from. revealed preferences would pressure parties into fielding candidates that better match the non-partisan preferences of constituents. or better yet, it would lead to the waning of the two-party system altogether, toward a more direct representative democracy.
> People are entitled

All of them? Every single one? Wow, harsh.

I kid, of course; my point in taking your words of context is to say that context always matters. People may be "entitled" to form a negative opinion of you based on my misleading out-of-context quotation of your words, but it seems pretty unambiguous that they'd be wrong to do so.

That said, it would be nice if Freddie had been responding to a specific person, whom he quoted, so that we could tell whether he was taking them out of context.
On HN, it only counts as a dupe if the story has had significant attention already (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). This one hadn't, so the repost is ok.

Sure I suppose that's a risk. But then they'd be in breach of the contract since the letter definitely doesn't say to cancel the account, it says that this is notice given to all extant notice clauses that could result in additional billing, renewal, and so on. It's worded well I'm paraphrasing.

I haven't used Guix on my laptop much other than as a package manager or to work on patches when I'm not at my desktop. So I can't say much, but Guix does tend to be heavier on storage IO needs. You can always use substitutes to avoid much building, unless you are doing things you need to build locally, like custom patches or other changes.

Proton I've only ran through Flatpak Steam. As I mentioned, Nonguix's Steam is limited to older Proton, but I think we'll get that fixed pretty soon once some bigger updates on Guix settle down (today was actually a "sprint" day to fix up changes coming to the main Guix branch soon). But yes, worked great in Flatpak.

The main thing you'll miss from Guix in just using it as a package manager is the system configuration stuff. That will still be your host OS. You can play around with installing different things with Guix, package transformations, and even now trying out the (still in progress) Guix Home [0] to configure your dot files. Guix as a package manager will still give you a good feel of the advanced features it has for managing packages, without touching your host OS.
