That gave me an interesting idea.

A URL shortener as a method of data exchange.

The data URI spec does not define a size limit but says applications may impose their own.

Chrome - 2MB for the current document. Otherwise the limit is the in-memory storage limit for arbitrary blobs: if x64 and NOT ChromeOS or Android, then 2GB; otherwise, total_physical_memory / 5 (source).
Firefox - unlimited
IE ≥ 9 & Edge - 4GB

You also could use blob URLs, which have a 500Mb limit.

An example:
1. Alice constructs a data url with the base64 encoding of a zipped and encrypted document, submits it to her favorite URL shortener and gets a short URL back.
2. Alice transmits the short URL to Bob, perhaps as metadata in an cryptocurrency transaction.
3. Bob receives the short URL, navigates to it in a modern browser and extracts the data.

This is not anonymous unless the shortener is guaranteed anonymous, which it won't be.

Artwork is commonly hung up as decorations in houses, offices, etc.

You can also buy mass-produced artwork at stores that have zero collectible value, so the value of that is entirely intrinsic.

I'm not sure looking at your Opensea collection has the same value. While NFT owners will gladly tell you how much they enjoy looking at their collection, if the collection was all of a sudden worthless, they'd probably stop looking at it. In that scenario, right-clicking produces the exact same value.

Given that, the entire value of most NFTs is in scarcity and demand for a scarce product, which is totally fine. NFTs are still super-early as well and I have no doubt they will rapidly add more non-collectible value. Some are already doing this in building exclusive communities, events, etc. for owners and those uses for owners will continue to evolve and grow.

This TL;DR doesn't seem to reflect the article. My take from the article was that the DMV tester did understand how regen braking works but thought the use of regen braking prevented demonstrating one of the skills required to pass the test. The tester even advised to bring a non-EV vehicle when re-taking the test which indicates they knew that regen was a feature of EV vehicles and that the particular vehicle was not having brake problems.

Well we have two worlds running in parallel as we stand: Most of North America, Europe and certain parts of Asia and the rest of the world. A large portion of what I refereed to "the rest of the world" is as distant from us as the middle ages. Not even apples to oranges at this point. Sure, you could argue that billions are poured into bridging that gap but the simple truth is that never works. Even if there wasn't an insane amount of corruption involved, that still would not cut it or change much: I had a professor back in the day who summed it up perfectly in one sentence: "No one has gotten out of poverty through charity". Though I absolutely adore Hans Rosling's "Factfullness", somehow I cannot find a way to share his optimism. And in his function as a doctor, I recon even he would have dialed down his optimism if he were alive now and witnessed how COVID was being handled for example.
It's "a great copy of Mona Lisa", instead of parent comment's real Mona Lisa. Sure they look the same, maybe exactly the same, maybe binary-level same, but that's not what really matters. What matters is the social contract, minting and/or owning the original. If a celebrity generates a random GUID and puts on blockchain as an NFT, I'm pretty much sure that it will sell. A random GUID is worthless. A random original of a GUID generated by, say Elon Musk, is.

That’s not how MAC addresses work. Once a packet crosses a router, the packet appears to come from the MAC address of the router.

So for example a web site you connect to has no idea what your MAC address is.
Fundamentally, I don't really see much difference between monoliths and microservices.

In a monolith, you just call another function/class, but in microservices that function is a http call. I guess the benefit of microservices is the ability to independently scale different microservices, being able to choose different languages for different microservices and less conflicts in the repo as more people work on it, but you still have to deal with backwards compatibility and versioning of endpoints.

I think lambdas are interesting when you look at it this way. A microservice is essentially a set of functions which is constantly deployed as one unit. But with Lambdas, each function is a single unit that can scale independently.

It should be noted that Japan has a very special and long history with German Countries. Germans brought modern western medical knowledge to Japan in the 17th. Century, influencing the country to the point that the language used in the medical sector was German (AFAIK still is today to some degree). In the 19th. Century when Japan was forced to open itself to the world, Japan had a friendship and treaty with the German state Prussia, which helped to modernize Japans industry and society. The whole education-system at the time was basically imported from there, to the point that the iconic look of Japanese pupils today are going back to Prussia.

I started to agreed with the beginning of the article, but then this part:

"""
This article weirdly claims, or implies, a thing that no serious Biblical scholar of any sort would claim, viz., that Jesus was not given the title “Christ” by the original Apostles in the New Testament. The Wikipedia article itself later contradicts that claim, so perhaps the editors of the above paragraph simply meant the two conjoined words “Jesus Christ,” and that Jesus was rarely referred to with those two conjoined words in the New Testament. But this is false, too: the two words are found together in that form throughout the New Testament.
"""

This is wrong. Or rather, wikipedia is completely right in this case. In fact, the line quoted in the article is fully taken from Encyclopedia Britannica. The line is very clear of what it mean, and while it is true that Jesus (son of Joseph) was probably titled "messiah" (or Christ if you want) after meeting with John the Baptist (from the gospels), "Jesus Christ" as a name probably came later. Some bad translations of the gospel or Paul's letter might say otherwise, but don't found your knowledge on translation. And the historiography tends to agree with Wikipedia/me/anybody who had catechism.

Another article ruined. I can't read further after that, if the author is wrong about that, he might also be wrong on things i'm not an expert on, so i won't be able to take anything i read on this seriously. People should just stop talking about history in political articles, they ruin it every time. Or maybe they should everytime, and allow history geeks to classified them easily in the "untrustworthy" category.

Call it "knowledge debt", similar to the concept of "code debt". Every piece of knowledge also has to be maintained (e.g. in the case of a natural person, if they are still alive), and that maintenance costs effort.

Discuss HN: Message Bus (EIP Pattern) is not popular, is it?
Here by "message bus" I mean this EIP pattern: https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/MessageBus.html . Message bus is not equal to message broker. It's not really EDA. It's just a way of system interaction.

According to my research, Message Bus pattern kind of inspired ESB (or is highly related to). ESB has failed, because IBM guys make it a huge middleware that's complicated and expensive.

But Message Bus in my opinion is still a great pattern and can still help a lot in modern microservices architecture. Its "mediator" nature and "common data structure" can improve loose-coupling of a microservice ecosystem, and make things more understandable.

Sadly it seems it's not very popular nowadays per my googling. Message-based communication in microservcies is very popular, but "common data structure" is not used. For most architectures there is no concept of "bus", even if pub/sub is used as the major way of messaging.

I can see Apache Camel is still popular. But I found few examples of people using it for message bus.

This is just my impression. I'd love to hear different ideas.

You don't understand medical literature. ITT is the standard -- you don't get to invent a magical world where everyone does whatever you tell them to do, and people frolic amongst the chocolate rivers and gumdrop trees.

Well, your extension has 50k+ users. What percentage do you think would try to get around the payment system? I'm guessing most of your users aren't that technical, they just hate those recipe card things :) And how many users does the next most popular fork of your extension have?

Notion Boost is also an open-source extension on Github with 20k+ users and has made a bunch of money from users paying for pro features. So there's at least one data point in your favor.

I'd also like to point out that you're speculating! You don't know what will happen :) One reason I made ExtensionPay was so that developers (including me!) can just try monetizing their extensions with no costs and very little time commitment and see what happens empirically — get the data.

How were you thinking about monetizing your extension anyway? Subscriptions? One-time? Freemium?

> The label was reportedly after control of Prince's master tapes.

Edit: I’m guessing this refers to owning the right to copy a master rather than owning the physical tapes that the master is stored on.

Relevant quote from a 1996 NY Times article on Prince²

> If you don't own your masters, your master owns you.

When Prince changed his name to a symbol, I didn’t pay too much attention to pop or mainstream music so when I heard about it, I had assumed he was simply being pretentious. After hearing about his problems with Warner Brothers, I have a lot more sympathy for his actions and desire to have creative control over his own music.

My opinion is that these tests are not to test competence, but to mitigate risk by transferring that risk elsewhere. Kind of a version of the 'No one ever got fired for buying IBM'.

If you give a user sudo privileges, and then they don't know what they're doing so they rm -rf or worse, then management puts you squarely to blame. If the user has a cert you can point to, and regs that say users with that cert may get sudo privileges, then you can point to the regs and the cert so that now the certifying organization is to blame. Or more likely the user will be blamed, malice will assumed instead of ignorance. Which brings to mind Bear's rule 11 (I'm Bear): Never attribute to malice, without investigation, what you can attribute to ignorance, as ignorance is common and malice is not.

I think that maybe you're understating the complexity that distributed systems may involve.

For example, see all of the following:

- https://medium.com/@kenbantoft/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-networks-30a328c25c50

Plus, in the current day and age, we still don't have that many convenient ways to make two systems interact over a network. REST and things like GraphQL don't map well to actions, whereas RPC solutions like gRPC also involve a certain amount of boilerplate code and you still need to think about how the concerns above.

A transcript would be great, but it struck me in these days of deep learning it's just a question of time before someone does a "speedup" option for videos that instead of just increasing the speed of the video, combines that with "smart" cuts like removing umming and ahing and unnecessary dead space, and tries to apply other simplifications as well (I'd still prefer text, but I'm sure there'd be an upside for people who like video).

And imagine even a more aggressive "video summarizer" generating articles from videos with interspersed screenshots or brief video segments where they matter for the understanding...

I've been a WP editor since a couple of years after it was founded. I don't bother trying to edit anything on the Middle East - those articles are patrolled by zionists, with support from the very top. Articles about those states that are the remnants of Yugoslavia seem to be edited by various kinds of authoritarian bigots.

To get the best out of WP, you have to be clear that many editors have an axe to grind; if something smells fishy, have a look at the talk page, and see if people have been challenging it. And have a look at the edit history.

What's remarkable is that WP is as good as it is. But I'm not happy with the idea of one website becoming the touchstone of human knowledge.
