There are no approvals at all. After you submit your changeset, it's in the primary public database. Some relatively short time after that, the affected tiles are rerendered and the change is visible on the main map layer (Mapnik) on openstreetmap.org. But if you use an application (e.g. OsmAnd) or some third-party map rendering (e.g. by Mapbox), the changes might take quite some time to get there.

What is a “wrong fact”?
I like your thought process and it might be a good way to go.

> Raise interest rates on debt. This will cause people to pay back existing debts

But this is risky for the stock market right? interest rates on debt are connected to the fed's interest rate and to bonds yields. Higher bond yields = stocks are less appealing. That could be fine during normal times but the stock market is very very high so the risk for a huge crash is high.
Who knows what the result of a stock market crash might be, the 30s were one huge depression. During the current political climate I can see why the high-ups want to avoid that.

But It's something to think about what you're suggesting and it's very possible what you're suggesting will happen in some form or another.
Autonomous services (similar to vending machines): See PoolTogether, a service which before blockchain would be considered almost certainly a scam, and would be nearly impossible to audit.

Because it's on Ethereum the contract is publicly auditable, and the rules are simple: insert currency into a pool, and have a chance of winning a %age of total interest earned once a week. No one owns the service. If the site goes down nothing changes. The developers can't just change the rules (backend) on you. They also have a DAO so the users can manage the service themselves.

A similar service is Compound, which recently was found to have a bug that gave away something like $90 million worth of currency to random users. That's the main danger with blockchain services: exploitable bugs.

Besides that, I've been thinking about something like a blockchain based Wikipedia (or Research Gate?), with monetary incentives for research teams to answer questions posed by the community (when they can't get funding by other means) and a codified scientific process for grading the quality of papers, as well as mechanisms to reliably cite related research papers to use as supporting evidence or jumping off points. Think of this: a debunked paper causing a cascade of debunked papers that cited it.

The point of using the blockchain would be to create a decentralized repository of research information with strict rules to maintain integrity of the information submitted (as opposed to relying on a centralized committee that might become corrupt through perverse incentives).
Hi everyone! Co-founder here / AMA.

We've been working on this for coming up on 10 years. We launched on HN in August of 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8228974

Brief technical description:
1. produce a matrix of C comments (submitted by participants) * V votes (in 1, 0, -1 form for agree, disagree, pass).
2. Run dimensionality reduction (PCA) and clustering (K-means).
3. Find out which comments best differentiate clusters, show those to everyone https://compdemocracy.org/representative-comments/
4. Identify comments in which the majority of every cluster is voting the same, way, show those to everyone: https://compdemocracy.org/group-informed-consensus/

For more, we've recently published a paper describing the underlying methods: https://twitter.com/colinmegill/status/1445044310722822147

The 501c3 works around the world (USAID, UNDP, cities, countries) to help advance the usage of the method in deliberative democratic settings. Multiple cities (such as Amsterdam) now have their own deployments. We'd love to hear from you! If interested in the project or volunteering, please reach out to: hello@compdemocracy.org
Its not a real black swan because it's so painfully obvious to anyone who's looked at it in depth but the demise of Tether will have an enormous impact on BTC.
I've only read a few of his posts so far, and this one seems to do a good job explaining why VCs are so interested in it. It seems like you've simplifying his argument into simply "anti-cryptocurrency," when there are many interesting perspectives explain its irrational popularity. I think you could fill a book on it.

On your argument about centralization, do you think that the momentum fueling its popularity is grounded in centralization vs decentralization? Because most of the interest I see boils down to making money via speculation.
Midori is a lightweight option that is pretty usable. Some intensive sites have issues on it but for plenty of things it's fine.
>No man, not every report needs to have a personal opinion. Journalists are expected to be objective and neutral and only present facts and different views. Why can't I do the same?

Oh, come on. You offered your opinion. You presented yourself as an authority (which is somewhat fair, given you are a native speaker). But, your opinion can only be seen as biased if you won't even respond to a well-intentioned, well-reasoned, and completely factual counterpoint.

Any idiot reading this can see what you're doing. It won't work. It's so obvious that you are engaging honestly.
Of course, I'm defending HN's values and on occasion have also defended you when I noticed people posting unfair attacks (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23494968).

I realize you're representing a minority viewpoint. The HN demographic is highly international, but also overwhelmingly Western, and that inevitably comes with certain biases. We can benefit from hearing perspectives outside those biases. But that only works if you don't break the rules yourself, and you haven't been keeping to that.

I get that it's not easy and not fair, but the truth is that the one who represents a minority or contrarian view has to hold themselves to a higher standard [1]. Otherwise you make it easy for people to point fingers at you when you break the rules and use that as an excuse to discredit you [2]—and then they also point fingers at us and demand to know why we aren't enforcing the rules in your case. That's a lose-lose situation: either we have to ban you and silence a minority voice, or we allow you to break rules that would get others banned, in which case people will rightly accuse us of double standards. We can't allow that; I have to be able to say "no, we don't do that" in good conscience.

In order to follow the rules we need you to specifically do three things: (1) stay respectful and neutral when arguing; (2) avoid flamewar (your comments in this thread were inflammatory and way over the line, especially because the topic involves multiple flamewar themes - not just China/West but sexual assault etc.); and (3) not use HN primarily to argue about political and national fights. I'm sure there are other things on HN that interest you as well. Good community members engage out of curiosity on a variety of subjects—not just pre-existing agendas on the single point or two that they feel most passionately about. All of this is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

I really love Typora - I've used it for years, and not always because of any MD support - it's just a beautiful app that works well. The cost is a no brainer given how many years I've already been using it.

I'll use this opportunity to say once again that I hate Markdown. We need to have a Web 2.0 style evolution for documents and document fragments using both HTML and Unicode. In 2021 it is absolutely insane that I can easily add an emoji with varying shades but I can't add basic formatting to text like bold or italic without resorting to a proprietary tricks, that normally get lost the first time you copy/paste.

I thought the abstract was pretty readable. There have been many articles on this and the site as well.

HN has a weird philosophy and has always been downvote happy. Wouldn’t take it personally, think of people trying to get the best comments to the top, and have limited tools. Still, when HN is good it’s the best.

Rereading your comment it kinda has a “please do my homework” vibe.

If you're looking for startup ideas, I have 20 for you (solo founder friendly)
I have been interested in art, design and photography for a long time. However, I am lacking the patience and skills to create with physical media and working with computers just feels more "natural". So I thought making watercolour images from photos would be a nice 3 month side-project. A couple of years later there now is a reasonably working algorithm and a web-site around it.

It took a lot of learning about non-photorealistic rendering. I also had to catch up on the last 10 years in web development and took the opportunity to learn more about serverless and AWS.

The implementation is mostly in OpenCV with Python/Numpy and a couple of things in C# with Python bindings. The web-site is static, based on a free template from https://cruip.com and the calculations happen in AWS lambda functions.

The name rembrob has no meaning, I stumbled over a paper studying artificial words https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S07495... where it scored quite high and an unscientific survey in my family gave the most smiles for this one.
I've noticed similar situations to this in my own area.

In your opinion, what do you think the most effective way to help these families out might be?
Do you mean you re-interview and then stay in your current role, getting a raise from the competing offers? Or do you mean switching employers?

In any case, most FAANG have fairly fixed salary ranges for each level. Now's a time of big salary increases, as you note, so there's more flexibility, but you should expect this strategy to fairly rapidly hit the maximum for your level unless you get promoted.

So, if it's all about money, two strategies:

1. Switch employers, get a big initial stock grant + bonus. There tends to be more flexibility on the initial grant than on salary itself.

2. Get promoted.
You should assume that your students don't know many perspectives on different lifes, nations, cultures, professions, etc. not because they are intolerant, but because how should they know something that they haven't been in contact with their whole lives? So you teach them about the world not because you think they are stupid, but because it is your task to teach them about the world they live in, with the hope that they will make good citizens that in turn are capable of decent choices that create a liveable society for all. You teach them in order to not have them turn into ignorant people.

Political groups that tell you that teaching facts about society and history have the goal of bringing their propaganda into the schools.
I'm noticing a theme in all these comments: we all hate meetings and they make the job suck.

And I agree, meetings are often ridiculous and suck a lot more time out of your day than the 30 minutes that you actually meet.
Sorry I missed the implied “/s”. I see it now. :)
Be careful about doing personal work in those extra hours though. Personally I wouldn't risk it.

As an alternative, I know some companies will let you voluntarily cut down your hours in exchange for a pay cut. With tech salaries being what they are, you could make a comfortable living while only working half-time in many cases. And that way you don't have to worry about what legally counts as "on company time".

Correct. For smaller discussions in the 10s, or potentially 100s of participants, the limitations of randomness and no direct replies are unnecessary. They become useful assumptions given thousands and tens of thousands of participants.

That would have been small for the time. The average for adult males at that time in the area looks to have been around 1.625m[1]. If I remember correctly, it was about 1.7m a millennium later, during the Classical period.

I am near the 40 mark, and have never managed anybody by my own choice. Have mentored several. I have no interest in a managerial track, nor in being paid to do things that are not related to code, data quality, or other high value business needs. I have designed some very important systems and processes but shy away from calling myself an "architect". I have been the chief tech liaison with multiple partners, my bosses relying on me to not only code, but also set expectations and meet partners' business goals while protecting our own interests. I love hearing hearing about "new" frameworks and concepts from the young 'uns, and will use them if the team's vote is to adopt them (sometimes despite my opinion), even though half of them at least turn out to be short lived. It's all good. Sometimes I am pleasantly wrong and learn new ways of doing things.

My point is, I worry less about my "career goals" and spend my time learning about my employers and how to produce high value for them, whatever form that takes. I have never worried about or feared for my job.
I use a similar example when explaining when to document code and when to write it so it is easy to understand. When coding, if you find yourself saying “I need to document this”, you should ask first if it is easily understandable by someone with no knowledge of the code and possibly rewrite it first. Only once you have exhausted how it is written should you document it.

Everyone always nods at this but often do something else in practice, so as an example I use the real-world example of glass doors that only open one way but have identical pull handles on both sides. Users always walk up and loudly and embarrassingly push/pull incorrectly. But instead of fixing the root problem, the people who put them in think, “I know, I will document them!” and put those plaques on each side that says “Push/Pull”. And true to nature, no one reads the signs and still loudly bangs the door the wrong way only then to look at the “documentation”.

It's nice not to have upper respiratory illnesses, but I'm not going to be wearing masks forever because of that, especially since it's not clear cut that not ever getting illnesses is a good idea. (Especially since you're bound to get infected at some point. Might as well exercise the immune system a bit.)

Now, I look forward to it being more socially acceptable to wear masks when you have an infection.

i have kyphosis (moderate) and scoliosis (mild). i had debilitating pain at times and thought I’d need surgery. I was lucky and ran into doctors that wouldn’t give me pain meds and insisted I not pursue surgery. Finally in my early 30s read Crooked and took up weight lifting, very slow progression, empty bar for each olympic lift. my back feels _amazing_ now. I never get pain anymore and have a new obsession.

> Isolation seems to solve all of these issues and I hate people so isolation is easy.

Ah, so this is the real reason. That's fine, but it's also not really applicable to the wider population and hence isn't about what I originally asked -- which is why we would universally continuing wearing masks forever.

The answer is we wouldn't, because that makes no sense.
Or aren't aware of it in the first place. I think a lot of calls for means testing comes from people who can't extrapolate from their experience at the DMV to other under-funded, over-documented, over-gatekept government services. They don't realize the people they want to means test already have to deal with a lot more than the DMV for services with worse forms and wait times. Adding another is just cruel.

I'm a big fan of just giving people money. From another of my comments:

>> "UBI. Really. Just give people money. It generates more benefit than it costs. Look how well billionaires did when unemployment benefits were buffed up. Now imagine if they were taxed reasonably to capture some of that toward covering the cost. People still looked for work, but they could afford to hold out for better jobs."
