Another example: Twitter has been going through (& failing to find for months on end) compliance offers in India at a pretty good clip. Jailable compliance officers. Here's them hiring another round in late September: [1].

Nations keep trying to force extreme physical liability on companies. It's grotesque, nations keep insisting that there be hostages to take. It's just absolute scum-shit. I can get that they're pissed off that the world doesn't cater to their whim, doesn't feel like obeying their whim. So they insist that they have someone around to leverage state-sponsored violence again. Utterly pathetic, just transparently weak as shit loser behavior.

I don't know what to say. I don't want to just say countries can't make laws, can't try to self regulate. But the internet perceives censorship & obstruction as damage, & routes around it. Upping the game by making sure there are prisoners to take is repulsive, I have no sympathy for this. I don't know what to do, because I kind of want countries to have some right to try things. But I see no path forward to having hundreds & hundreds of different internets semi-interoperating, nation-nets stitched loosely together each with their own laws & firewalls between them. I don't believe the frontiers of tech & possibility can flourish when every nation on the world gets a say on how you have to have your net presence work. A large part of me thinks we should provoke & escalate against these provocateurs, that the various entities on the internet should band together to resist the meddling of mere states, should make deep consequences, should sponsor & develop alternative access mechanisms & vpns. Again, I want to allow these nations their try, but these nations feel less important than the internet they are hurting.

> in all honesty what the person is actually right

I agree. I was just nitpicking; that roads in New Delhi are actually pretty good. You should look at the roads in rest of the Delhi. The district that I live in (North East) has infrastructure in such stark contrast to New Delhi that it doesn't even feel like the same city tbh.

> is crypto the biggest issue facing India?

It absolutely isn't.

But somebody begs to differ: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/pm-modi-has-a-warning-fo...
In (list) can use an index just fine in most databases. It's "not equal" that has trouble.

A better example would be:

Product {LocationID, Rating}
User{id}
UserLocations{UserID, locationID)

However, let's say you have an architecture where you have 100s of these "product" tables, since every piece of the app restricts access by location. So not only do you have Product but maybe you have FormResult{LocationID}, Feedback{LocationID} etc.

So for a service to find out what a user has access to, first they call the User service to get a list of locations, and then they pass the big list of ids to their own DB, whatever that DB is.

I guess this is one case where a monolith and good ol SQL would win. :)

Oh, fair enough. Still though, they should be able to sue them if Apple can sue NSO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29320986
that was never an issue? maybe your thinking of the slowness golang had in returning memory to the OS? that was resolved.
Also, not sure but can case be made against Apple that they haven’t done any such litigation and shown heavy-handedness against jailbreaking community? At the very basic level, both Jailbreaking communities and NSO are using loopholes in iOS’s security to do whatever the hell they want to do with it.
>Thermodynamics does not obey Wright's Law.

Wright's law could apply, but on the supply side. Scaling up CCS is about scaling up green power.[1] Nukes, wind, et. al. An order of magnitude more for an order of magnitude cheaper per kwh would do it. Not easy, but economics of scale are at least plausible[0].

[0]I wonder what mass produced gigawatt level (150x current) nuclear plants would amortize out at.

[1]CCS could be done today for, v. roughly not more than $2-4,000 per tonne with most of that cost being electricity.
I’m not sure I get it. This just sounds like someone wanting to move to NY and coming up with a rational for it.

The company still seems to be selling and recruiting in London.

A ‘poor sales culture’ in London won’t effect a companies ability to hire good sales people and get sales unless they’re a bad company to work for.

Brexit will have an impact on recruitment but there is no problem (at least there wasn’t a few years ago) getting work permits for people with AI related phds to work in a company serving financial and legal companies in the city in the UK.

I had a bit of a dig around and turned up nothing but bad news, so I imagine it almost always goes sideways. The only exceptions are zoos.

I did find a small success story in reducing the numbers of invasive Myna birds by volunteer trapping, which is seeing native species return to the areas affected. So that's nice.

Like what bizarre circles are you stewing in that you hear "They're great because they inherited the right genes for VO2 max!" more than you hear "They're great because they put in the hard work and effort! That's dedication right there!"

And even if we focus on this truly fringe group that you seem to run with, the genetic factors like height are also readily overriden by inequality in the "broad racial groupings" you mentioned earlier... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34065650/

In regards to the headline, I've voiced this opinion online (math is "what the world is made of") and was met with a reply that said something along the lines of "math isn't what the reality is made of, it's what we use to explain it".

I'm not sure if I agree or not. Because I'm of the belief that everything (as in, "reality") can be explained or with mathematics. and if it can't, then we just haven't figured that kind of mathematics yet.
A bit lacking on the plot, but for animation and art direction - not bad at all.
Tell HN: Ideas from a developing country to curb shoplifting in Bay Area
I've been watching lot of videos of shoplifting in California, and I do think it's due to recent laws, but it's more of a case of good intentions and bad outcomes. However, similarly where I lived before the laws didn't matter because when you called police they came an hour late if ever, and if they did come they'd find something wrong with your business and leave only if you paid bribe. So you were better off NOT calling cops. Unless they were already happen to be passing through and saw robbery in action.

But over time norms had developed that prevented robberies....

1. Don't have aisle system. A typical shop would have cashiers standing and when you reached to cashier, you'd tell them what you want and guys in back would start to pack your order. Then meanwhile you are screaming items you want, or asking to see alternatives, cashier would handle other customers behind you. Once your order is ready, the back guy would bring it to cashier who would call out your name and you can come to front. (Don't be shy or care about personal space, probably be improved with apps/internet)... no shop lifting if there is nothing to lift and you can't enter a shop.

2. When there is lawlessness and incentive then criminals consolidate into gangs, and then gangs into the gang. Simply pay the biggest gang in your area. Once you are a paying member of their territory, none of their members will ever hurt you and other gangs will not dare hurt their customers. This "protection" feel is not always optional. You either pay or incidents keep happening. But once you pay, they stop.

3. Retailers that sell expensive stuff consolidate into areas, which they all pay to make security top notch. Imagine jewelry stores with diamonds and gold, all decide to be located next to each other in a single street. This whole street has probably 50 armed guards, cameras, road blockers, and no one passing through who doesn't work there or trying to buy something. Amazing display of weird relationship, where you are competing with all of your neighbors but also benefiting from their existence. Or even if not armed, if someone shouts thieves, all merchants come out to beat the thief. Thief doesn't shoot because too many people to matter and will probably be killed brutally, vs just getting beat up and handed over to cops. (laws need to allow this, not like walgreens getting sued because their security guard tried to stop a shoplifter...)

Or don't pass stupid laws

I went the opposite way, heh. I had a pretty popular MUD as well. I learned so much and made a few friends along the way. Took me about 5.5 years to finish high school from all the Kate nights and ignoring my studies. I just dropped right into software dev after that in the professional world. So it goes :)
I've taken a lot of courses on story writing / telling. I still suck at it

There are fundamentals in story writing / telling. Depends on the medium you are using. You prob know all of this.

So, one thing that I've noticed is that people who are actually good at this is that they do it as their main passion. So, practice and see how others are doing it. Also get feedback. Telling stories is not a passive activity

Reading about what makes a good story was somewhat interesting to me and i thought just reading and knowing about it would make me better. If you don't do the thing that makes you better and just read about it's prob a passive activity

Btw, people I know who really loves stories wether sharing or writing can consume over 150 fiction books a year. Doing 100 a year was already insurmountable for me, so I gave up on that.

I have been part of platform and product teams. So I think I sort of know what the author means by "kill-it" phase.

When new platform is being worked upon it's extremely difficult to get product teams to adopt. The PMs on the product teams view a new platform as a distraction because it seemingly doesn't help them launch new features. Worse it's taking the engineers who could be working on features to integrate with this new platform.

Typically during planning phase not too many oppose a new platform. However, when it comes to integrating (or adopting it) then everyone suddenly becomes conservative; no one wants to be the first mover, take the risk to be early adopter. It could also stem from product teams' prior experience of having burnt their fingers trying to integrate with a new platform.

I have seen quite a few platform teams get abandoned after everyone signed up. The platform team need to put in an extra effort to get product teams adopt.
Looks like Getir has proven the business model locally but considering their latest moves in the UK, their main goal is capturing the European market.
I have doubts about the whole instant-delivery space though. Profit margins are probably not large enough to make the business sustainable. The scenario looks like winner-takes-all or at least hold your breath until IPO.

What is wrong with playing whac-a-mole? The fact that we can't whack every mole doesn't mean we can't whack some of them. A targeted ban can eliminate Bitcoin mining entirely rather than just reduce it and can do so without much effect on uninvolved people. I can think of no market-based approach that can do that. If the markets were rational, no money would have been invested in Bitcoin mining in the first place.

Actually you can do it for cryptocurrencies as well. There are a lot of aggregators that execute or split your order across different exchanges.

As you said yourself, brokers may offer somehow better prices. My point is just, it is not possible to interact directly with the exchange, even if it maybe for some people more convenient to use a broker. There is no free lunch, more third parties means in my opinion worse price or higher fees.
Baseless? Police even have access to tools like grayshift/graykey to unlock all but the newest iphones (which inevitably will be supported in time). That is what is known publicly because it is so ubiquitous, plenty of leaks suggest far more sophisticated tools among the FBI let alone agencies with a national security interest.
Thanks so much for posting this :D

It did require manual user interaction, so I had to interact with the app for quite a while in between bisect checkouts, the waiting for the installs was more the worse part over the actual tedium of running commands.
Can confirm it is pretty good so far. Also eminently affordable, especially since in my region the common refrain of "just get discarded Aeron/HM from Craigslist bro" doesn't apply.
I don’t think that was supposed to be the bottom example, it’s half as expensive per unit at Target for 2 lb bags.
Disagree. It was the cherry on top.
Aside from not delivering on the topic promised in the title, this article contains several inaccuracies and false claims that are unlikely to be accidental given the author is an industry professional. this looks like a cheap opinion piece promoting a cover story for the fossil fuel industry (CCS).

electricity in Germany does not cost 30 c/kWh, but roughly 7 c/kWh. the rest is taxes and fees for consumers, and the fact that the linked source makes this transparent indicates that it is deliberately mis-cited for drama.

the article severely understates the efficiency of power to gas processes and claims a maximum efficiency of 35%. however, even the 10 year old megawatt scale demonstrator in Falkenhagen Germany reaches roughly 50% efficiency [1]. modern research projects have achieved 76% efficiency in a shipping container sized prototype, and research is ongoing [2].

I also have a pressure cooker, cooking time for rice is nowhere close to 3 minutes, it's about 30 minutes.
Dynamic queries are difficult to model when starting from a static query since SQL doesn't compose well. The workarounds I've used:

- Use multiple queries that share the same output type.

- Push the predicate into the query directly.

However, you can't pass an expression for an order by column since the order by clause takes a name, not an expression. Postgres doesn't allow using names as arguments to a prepared query so that leaves either adding an annotation like sqlc.order_by that's dynamically added to a query string, or by getting more creative with the structure of the query:

SELECT * FROM AUTHORS WHERE sqlc.arg('by_date') ORDER BY DATE
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM AUTHORS WHERE NOT sqlc.arg('by_date')
Thanks for that advice, yeah i should've done this sooner

It's the same plasticky "Pixar style" as any other computer animated movie in the past 30 years. And I'm saying that as someone who enjoys the movie immensely.

> There's also tons of animation variety from outside America.

This is true, and it's my mistake not to mention this.

> So there's not a great risk to reward ratio.

Indeed. And that's why it's surprising to see experimentation to come from these two sources (Sony Animation may have made it, but it was Marvel who agreed to it: they guard their properties like hawks)
That price is not even cheap, grocery stores have rice at a much lower unit price in much smaller packages. Dollar store rice is likely in between them and still a very solid calorie deal. There is still a requirement that one has time, equipment & energy to cook with, though.

> However: just because you don’t need a blockchain to do something doesn’t mean the industry won’t settle on using blockchains to do it anyway.

Exactly, both blockchain skeptics and one-blockchain maximalists miss that people are doing what the market can bare. Do what the market can bare. Why die on the ideological hill? What utility does that have?

The path for founders is simpler. The founders bring their whole network to their ventures over and over and over again. That is projects launched on blockchain platforms right now.

Unless the non-blockchain space magically becomes competitive for founders, globally, of any background, anonymously, overnight, then that world isn't competition. There are 3 trillion dollars within the crypto ecosystem that doesn't need to be converted to cash to be used to fund new ventures.

I think one of the things a lot of non-programmers have a hard time grasping is that sometimes in the creation of software your "velocity" has to go backwards, you have to do detours that after a long journey bring you more or less to the same place. The place will be able to do the exact same thing, the old thing did, but in an entirely different way that allows you to build on top of it much more reliably, future proof, clean, etc.

If there is a bad PM they would say the two places are the same (or even conclude the project is now worse off than before, because of the time "wasted"). What you did however was making sure the project can actually be finished as it was planned.

When stone cathedrals and castles are built, they tended to build wodden support structures first. Noe you could mistake the wooden structure for the cathedral itself and tell your masons to built the clock tower on top and have your carpenters in a hurry to strengthen the wood structure underneath — or hear me out: you could have your masons use the wood structure to build the cathedral from stone. Granted, they will start later on the tower, but they will finish the cathedral earlier.

If you are in a hurry, go slow. Everything else will take longer.
Last time I tried it you couldn't update titles. Which is very limiting. Some web pages have great titles and other web pages don't.
The thing about server side input validation is that if you miss something, that exploit is stored in your database. Mitigating issues you missed thus requires a backfill, which may not be scalable.

So instead you sanitize any user input just before every place it’s processed. Escaped in SQL, escaped on the frontend, escaped in email mailers, etc. This philosophy means that that you can’t use things like innerHTML on the frontend at all because the server output might contain XSS, and frontend frameworks don’t escape content added to the page via direct DOM manipulation.
You misread their comment: prep time 3 mins (i.e. the time you are actively doing anything), the rest is it cooking away on its own.

CREAM's Ironbank does undercollateralied/uncollateralized loans. They approve lending to protocols but they can easily decide to take risk on individuals if they want.

Likely there will be competition, and bad actors causing no recourse. But non-performing loans are easy to see so much faster than the traditional system, could easily limit losses with lending caps.

I didnt really understand the part about loans only usuable for financial speculation, you can cash those loan proceeds out for USD to do whatever you want. But even if you couldnt, financial speculation is called “good debt” anyway, compared to consumptive spending, so I dint understand the criticism standard here.

Just like your favorite show or movie. Start dropping bread crumbs regarding your main point right from the introduction. Tell a few mini stories that have a clear beginning and conclusion along the way. And within those mini stories leave 1-2 of those bread crumbs. By the time you’re right before the conclusion, you’ve planted more than enough crumbs out there for the audience to follow. Then at the conclusion when you tie it all together, the audience feels brought along the journey because they recall the breadcrumbs you left.
Work backwards from you point. Tell mini stories.
Nope—consider a black and white square, disconnected. But if they don’t have equal black and white counts, then they’re definitely not solvable.
