We have detected the effects of gravitons (...if it's gravitons and not something else) at macroscopic scales, however we have not done the same with monopoles. So that comparison is not apples to apples.

I have not heard anything about the SM predicting them being impossible, but I assume it does given that I haven't heard anything about the subject. Source: I have a master's in physics and a friend of mine did his bachelor's thesis in monopoles in classical electrodynamics (albeit modified) and his master's in quantum ones, so he would've told me if he knew.

However, if any GUT theory we have come up with is correct (because a few exist), then that does imply the existence of monopoles.
Comparing a digital cartoon of a monkey ( as usual) with a painted and original Mona Lisa is just wrong.

NFT's are mostly here to sell you avatar's of tech-minded people who create ( and even generate) as much as possible avatars.
In your testing, did gmail also rename the file? Because Binger's copy, the one that was sent to the lab on a flash drive had a completely different name.
In the very halcyon days of Unix, lets just say early-80's, I met so many new-to-C guys coming away from APL screaming, with their hair on fire, that I, as an innocent young mangenue, was sure it would be one of those languages that would die a horrid yet rapid death and I could therefore completely ignore it.

Yet, here we are. I'm still amazed to see people using it, and even more amazed to see someone break it out for some toy play.

Still, not gonna learn it. I like my hair.
You can argue against this all you want but these arguments sound eerily similar to the "it's just a slow database" type arguments of yesteryear.

Bubbles can eventually have value, weirdly - their irrational nature can sort of act as a forcing function taking us out of a local maxima, facilitating the creation of entirely new unforeseeable and previously-impossible things that actually have value of some sort. With cryptocurrencies you could argue they facilitated (through smart contracts and then distributed exchanges) the creation of massively-multiplayer online gambling games with no barriers to entry for publication & interface with the financial system where people win through patience and steely nerve. You may think more-advanced open-source casinos are not good for society, but they certainly hold economic value.

If I wanted I could write a smart contract for a MMO gambling game like POWH3D and publish it tomorrow. That isn't a capability I used to have - quite a few hoops to jump through to get a game onto a casino floor, or start up an online gambling website.
Is there a way to unzip and view it on mobile if it’s a password protected zip? If so I’m definitely switching to this method.
Exactly how I imagined my call would go like, almost word for word. Society has been way to gullible to phone-calls and when they try shit like this to me I make extra work to react very harshly.

I also confirm with them that we speak the same language, do what I said and don't try ANY bullshit on me. Make them as uncomfortable as possible. Not for me, but for the next person they're calling.
Yes, it's like an old Model T Ford from the early 1900s that has had a turbocharger, air conditioning, a new stereo, a subwoofer, roof rack for a bike, roof rack for a tent, grounding straps, trailer hookup, clean water system, etc.. bolted onto it.

At some point you ask yourself - why did I do all of this to a Model T? Sure, it has some modern facilities but the language itself was never designed and so none of it feels cohesive. The syntax is off-putting. It's just a ton of nightmare for what reason? Why? There are so many other languages to choose from and PHP has no competitive advantage other than $3/mo GoDaddy hosting.
I have a custom setup. I don't use a generator. I don't like my JS files with all these doc-comments.

The downside: quite a lot of work to create something from scratch.

The upside: I have created a playground-type API, where all options, methods & events can be tried out directly from the docs. They interact with the data grid.

It's not about images. This is about digital authenticity and historical record that is easily verifiable in an open, global system. This is instantaneous transfer of those rights or assets to anyone else in the world. In-game purchases of items, tickets to an event, transfer any digital item and the verifiable rights/ownership of it. Mark Cuban has been a big proponent and has been implementing use cases and I think it's more eye opening once you begin to see more advanced usages. https://twitter.com/JrWhipstock/status/1460311826026147840
You can tell who minted it. So the "uniqueness" comes from the fact that the original artist minted the NFT and the timestamp tells you if this was the first and/or only one minted by this artist for this URL.
How we protect our most sensitive secrets from the most determined attackers
I didn't check the latest LO version but I agree. LO shines on import export but the UI lags, the functionalities are limited. Even macros are weird compared to VBA which is sad.

FOSS community needs to gather up on this.
Whether it's a disaster or not it's subjective. I think you'll find many people prefer how it is now, including the useful new features like xlookup.

Either way, it's what people are used to, and changing everyone's well established memory will be very difficult and expensive.
Slack's implementation of threads is really weird, it almost feels like they're trying to hide them. If I get replied to in a thread I almost certainly lose it.

On the other hand, Discord's UI treats threads as temporary channels, and that works way better because you can actually see the thread as unread or not in the channel and server lists. I really wish Slack would steal this.
Not sure I agree with the title. Freedom should be a right that isn't to be taken from you, not a journey or a goal.
Shame the rest of the article reads like a love letter to Ai (not a complaining about the artist I like his work).

But given the article's author, whenever he speaks or writes I'm expecting more somehow...
Experimental Zink on Nvidia's Driver Capable of Outperforming OpenGL Driver
> It increases their status within the crypto community and gives them access to exclusive networks/events.

But we’re starting to see situations where people lose their NFTs or the NFTs are stolen through hacks or phishing.

And then the community goes out of their way to pretend it never happened, that the NFT doesn’t matter, and that the silly Cryptopunk or goofy lion JPEG still belongs to the person even though the NFT doesn’t.

At what point do we acknowledge that the NFT doesn’t actually matter in these communities and that it’s all about throwing money around?

As for the exclusive communities: I’m still not convinced any of these are actually as interesting as the NFT sellers want you to believe. Maybe someone, somewhere has put together a banger Discord channel with some good conversations that requires the purchase of a $10,000 NFT to access, but it's still a Discord channel.

The "exclusive communities" thing is really just another abstract value proposition that the NFT sellers have come up with to try to inject some tangible value into an otherwise valueless token. It's also yet another example of NFT sellers taking something that costs $0 (or near $0) to create, applying some hype, adding the "NFT" buzzword, and then selling it to FOMO people who don't want to miss the next Bitcoin or TSLA wealth-generating meme asset.
Hi HN,

This past New Year, my girlfriend and I broke our apartment lease and took off on a 6-month road trip while working remote at Airbnbs. We had an incredible trip, but finding a home that had fast, reliable Wifi and comfortable workspaces was time consuming and difficult.

So, I decided to build a Chrome Extension called Offie to make it easier to find the best Airbnbs to work from.

Offie works seamlessly with Airbnb by taking Wifi and workspace information from the listing page and bringing it to the search page. Current Offie features include the following information from a listing:

- Wifi speed test results
- Dedicated workspace amenities
- Sentiment analysis (AWS Comprehend) on reviews mentioning Wifi

Overall it's been a really fun project to work on. This was my first time building out a Serverless backend or a Chrome extension, and both are great patterns to have in my toolbelt.

Would love to get feedback on other useful features, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

- Pat

That was an early lesson in the pandemic: admitted patients sleeping on their bellies had a higher survival rate.
Things will hopefully change now that the political tide has turned. Digitally, the old government was essentially stuck to the status quo of 2005, when they took over.

In my view the weak digital culture in Germany is a direct consequence of political non-engagement with the matter during the last 15 years. Many areas are affected, first governance itself (fax machines!!), in education (universities and schools "discovered" digital tools mostly in March 2020, when they were forced to), business and trade (card payment still not being ubiquitous, let alone contactless; Some trivial contracts still require ink signatures and paper being mailed around etc).

Other European countries are a lot more progressive, e.g. the UK.
Use a different browser? It's one of two built-in options in Firefox.
We can look at ex-Soviet republics. Some are utterly corrupt and barely functional and some are up and coming economies. The difference is governance and leadership. It’s fundamental and extremely important to not have self serving leadership.

The condition you rise from isn’t key. It’s what you do afterwards.

It’s not too different from two high school students. One decides they’re happy being a dropout because they had a broken home, the other decides because she came from a broken home is going to do her darnedest to do something with her life. One becomes a professional the other still handles the till at the 7-11.
Facebook isn’t telling you how popular right-wing content is on the platform
Digital art is and should be valuable, but how is owning an NFT proof of ownership if no one recognizes it as such? If I own a NFT I get no real world ownership benefits (like displaying it on my website, or in my metaverse). The NFT can be deleted by the host and I have no recourse.
Speak of G+, I personally really love the idea: You have a personal space to post private stuff, you can set permission on who can read and who can't, and beyond that, G+ supports group where it functions like a forum where you can do your forum stuff and meet new people (Yeah... just like Facebook).

However, the implementation was rather poor. It's slow to load (under my network), it's unfriendly for long contents, it's almost impossible to have detailed discussions, and you still need multiple accounts to separate your personal and professional profile (Just like... you know, Facebook).

I'm not actively using Mastodon, but I'm a fan of their general idea where they're trying to let the information to flow from one site to another. However, if I got it right, Mastodon is trying to be "(just) another Twitter" if you look beyond the aspect of decentralization.

Now, if I put my Hat of Imagination on, personally, I think what the Internet really need, is a place/service/network where people can gather, explore and then got inspired. Those "web 1.0" forums are designed to do exactly that. So if it was me who's designing these kind of system:

- I'll put discussions related features as the utmost priority, and follower&following comes the second or third

- Not just a "forum-like" flat page discussions, I mean a structured discussions that lets you trace all conversations to figure out "Why we're talking about this now?" quickly and allows you to filter out "non-important" replies, that's the core of the system

- The "Twitter-ish" feature can be build on top of that discussion system

- I'll make it so everybody can host the system. You can put it on a 128MB memory router for you and your family, or a cluster of servers to provide service for the public, all the same good experience

- The systems exchanges data automatically between sites based on user interactions and follows etc. That also means the user can read contents from remote sites all on their local site.
People can make very convincing copies of a charizard. Yet people put effort and money into making sure they are getting an authentic card.

Authenticity and supporting original creators is important to people.
A movie requires as input substantial fulfilling meaningful work and produces as output something that people find meaningful. Rendering the output file artificially scarce may itself be bullshit but doing otherwise does leave us with the challenge of how to pay for that work. The price set for enjoyment of that file is set to a value that the majority of people can afford even if they have to wait for it to say hit red box.

For some value of sense the movie industry makes some sense. An NFT like a physical baseball card has zero actual utility save for the covetous feeling of ownership itself a mental disease now unmoored from physicality and actuality. It is an opportunity for us to view side by side people who cannot live indoors and in some places get enough to eat with people pouring more money than many people will ever see into abstract unrealized never to be satiated covetous greed that will only pay a return if they can thereafter pawn it off on someone even more foolish in the future.
Fair enough, we use @usernames to add people to teams and lists so an non-account model will need some additional thought. Thank you for the feedback.
I was really excited about Budibase when I first discovered it but then you did away with management for external users and made them shared across the whole Budibase installation. A very enterprisey move.

I really wish someone would come up with a tool like this that isn't targeted at the enterprise, there is definitely a market for it. I could see using this for a host of use cases if user sign-ups were supported.
Im only familiar with houseplants and not trees, but for houseplants the tap water may contain chemicals/metals that brown the edges of leaves.

People say to filter tap water, or supposedly leaving it out overnight works somehow.

Easily fetching the canonical metadata is so useful when doing a literature search and collecting sources, or trying to put together a bibliography. In Zotero (and presumably other bibliography managers), you can just plug the DOI in and you instantly have the title, authors, abstract, etc.
Can Web Browser users be charged with 'digital theft' for downloading images from public HTTP servers? No, it's the same thing.
Same for equality and meritocracy.
You are correct that many of the Software best practices have no scientific evidence. Also if you step outside of the software world into best practices of Business management, sales and accounting. They also not backed up by any scientific evidence.

Most of the best practices get developed by a smaller group of companies normally larger ones and everyone copies them since it worked for google it will work for us.

Having worked for different size companies and in different industries. I can tell you that most of the time they don't work well.

Some huge successful companies got big and do well not doing any of the normal standards. It was mostly luck and creativity.
That's a pretty interesting and thought provoking point. Well said!
Go with a mainstream distro to experiment and get a hang of it like Ubuntu, Fedora, PopOS, Mint etc.

Main reason is that searching for sulutions in the web is much better for distros with a big user-base. Additionally understanding the trade-offs of different distros is very hard if you are not already in the ecosystem, hence just go with something to get your foot in the door and don't sweat it.

Once you experience the papercuts and you get comfortable with them you can go into more advanced distros like Arch (derivatives e.g. Manjaro), Fedora Silverblue (what I currently use), etc.

If you can get a friend to help you go with the installation process, that 'll be very useful.

P.S. my TLDR suggestion would be to go with vanilla Fedora and use flatpaks for proprietary apps like steam/zoom/etc.
Be weary of those who hold power and even more so of those you are not allowed to criticize, disregarding where you live. Nations like Russia and China actively try to enforce control online mostly within their own borders and might be most brutal within those borders but it's the western world that tries to enforce their subjectively lesser brutal online control on the entire world.
It continues to amaze me that folks on the US Right are in perpetual outrage about cancel culture when Right-wingers are basically never "cancelled." Merely temporarily inconvenienced.

Books are being banned in schools across the country. Janet Jackson lost her career because of a Super Bowl performance. Kaepernick took a knee and had elected leaders screaming for him to be fired and threatening any NFL owners who even thought about hiring him as a quarterback again. Muhammad Ali lost the best years of his boxing career due to his political and religious beliefs.

That's what being canceled looks like.

Gina Carano was "cancelled" until she got her next gig within a month. Dave Chapelle was "cancelled" over transphobic comments only until he made yet another Netflix standup.
The sites that sell them will also have the OEM name; and it's often written on the motherboard itself.
I can create an LLC online in an hour. Then people can Venmo me or something. The tech part is not the interesting part, its interesting that this whole effort ignores or seems to ignore the fact that people are just donating money to help someone buy something - even if its "boring", it would be more honest to admit that tokens dont connote any rights, and shares in an LLC do.
I am surprised I have never heard of this...this looks awesome!

For anyone who has used this, how does the performance of Power FX compare to a comparably-difficult formula calculation in Excel?
As a counter-recommendation, I'd recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed for developers. It is also rolling-release, but packages are more heavily tested. It's easier to set up. And by default, it uses btrfs and provides a useful snapshot tool called snapper.

While breaking has become relatively rare on Arch, it's simply easier to set up a stable environment without having to keep a close eye on updates with Tumbleweed.
I forgot which book it was (maybe "the three body problem"?) but there was a science fiction story where a Chinese king makes his soldier act as a logical gate and his army becomes a computer. I was like, wow, I didn't think about that, but it totally makes sense!!
> I'd recommend Arch for Linux developers.

fixed it for you ;)
The author is not helping here with statements like "we have a class of vocationally trained workers with a sense of entitlement to be treated as an intellectual elite".

Vocationally-trained people want to be respected, just like everyone else. Making broad accusations about them, and insulting their abilities and qualifications, has been a significant source of conflict.

Every person deserves respect for their training and efforts, regardless of whether that is at a university, vocational school, dancing studio, acting class, on the farm, on a PC at home, or anywhere else in real life.

Start to respect other people, and they will start to respect you.
There are many people on the internet researching how basic things can be made in a low-tech fashion. I particularly enjoy https://simplifier.neocities.org/ for example.

But if you read those blogs you still notice the mind boggling height of the giants whose shoulders the bloggers stand on. Having access to simple chemicals like acids or various salts for example is huge. I wouldn't even know where to start if I had to bootstrap a highschool chemistry kit starting with nothing but my hands and my knowledge.
A funny thing is that there do exist "closed source" constructed languages whose use it legally restricted, like Loglan.
What really matters is that there isn't a single simple "Cartesian" future tense with only {simple, perfect, continuous} forms.

Here's an example where "will" cannot be substituted with "going to".

"If you sit down then the movie will start." <-- makes sense

"If you sit down then the movie is going to start." <-- ???

In the earlier list, that's "will" because it's a prediction or statement of fact.
"You don't extend tolerance to those who <insert your definition here>" is the argument that was made by every authoritarian regime in the world.
I always cast a wary eye towards new Renesas parts.

I got burned on the RZ/A line. It was a promising part. Low cost Cortex-A9 with DRAM on the die that could run Linux XIP off of the SoC when combined with a cheap QSPI NOR flash.

But the software was just undercooked and undersupported. When I could finally get an FAE in house to assist he explained that the Mitsu and Hitachi houses still didn't get along and it was nearly impossible to get stateside assistance. There was one single person in the USA responsible for Linux BSP support.

So yeah nice hardware but no, don't count on the software to be there on time.
Can you explain to me why people buy movies or software they can get identical versions of on the other bay? Or why they go to a live concert with the band playing instead of a venue with an identical recording of it? Or why they buy a baseball card instead of printing it?

The reasons aren't singular nor quite the same but if you can answer those it might be easier to figure out why simplifications like 'i can have the same image' don't cover the whole value people derive from it.

I've never regretted the time I took to learn PHP. No matter how bad the language may seem, it paid my bills for a long while. It's one those tools that to keep in your back pocket until you need. Keep in mind what it's good for and what it doesn't do so well.

That said, php's online documentation is one of my "gold standards" for what good language documentation should provide. (At least it was the last time I had to reference it.)
Actually, that would almost approach some "real" value for NFTs...

Let's say you have digital artwork in a lossless format. You then take the world by storm with the compressed version. Everyone loves it. You sell an NFT with a hash/URI/encoding of the original uncompressed version encrypted so only the owner on the blockchain can decrypt it.

Needlessly to say, this would only work for digital art that is compressible. The owner could perhaps prove that they really own the original by showing a differently compressed version of it.
Excited for this. I've used Gerrit in the past and really miss it.

Back when Yahoo Mail's inbox size was default 10 megabyte I got a free upgrade to 250 megabyte. It was added to a configuration file or in an account setting that wasn't displayed publicly. Years later when Yahoo increase the size to 1 gigabyte, mine remained at 250 and customer service didn't know how to increase mine.
