I find, since having a larger immediate family, I have few opportunities to be by myself. Are your kids older? Does your spouse put more time into daily things or the kids?
There definitely though is some magic-sauce when de-Bayering [1] the RAW data and then playing games with color spaces and color profiles to end up with that final JPEG.

I agree with your point though. I dislike "computational photography".

[1] guess it is called demosaicing

I grew up awkward and introverted, with awkward and introverted parents.

When I finished college and moved to a new city, I intentionally put myself in situations where I had to socialize. I created a Couchsurfing account and hosted people from time to time (circa 2008-2010).

I also joined a few meetups here and there, volunteered at a soup kitchen…

Over time, exposure to these social settings helped reduce my anxiety around them, and I picked up (probably the hard way).

I’m immuno-compromised, so the pandemic has been lonely a number of times, as I tend to be more cautious then the average person. I feel for people wanting to make this change in their life now but are protecting themselves.
A classic non-pivot is the Prodigy service, created as an IBM spinoff in the 1980s as a sort of proto-Amazon. To their great annoyance, instead of shopping, users insisted on chatting with each other all day.

They could have embraced this and beaten AOL to the punch, but instead they issued an edict that from then on, users would only be allowed to send 30 messages a month, and after that, they would cost 25 cents each. This was the start of the company’s death spiral.
The past is no longer occurring. Every moment you are aware of has also passed, no longer occurring. move on
Your strong bias and attitude showed in your other comment on Clinton and Bush as pathetic warmongering neoliberals. It is not incorrect. However to bring those up and exclude Trump or any other very high up politician of the two parties of not being the same thing except some are neoconservatives (which is close to neoliberals), is telling.

Your gaslighting tactics have become more pronounced now too. I never begrudgingly accepted what you stated. I believe I had an apt example. A person identifying in good faith as a socialist isn’t going to be supporting establishment Dems like Thiel and Rand Paul and similar “libertarians” do for their counterparts. I believe you or someone else brought up The Squad. Which has an easy response - the socialist supporters of theirs are not them. The Squad are also not socialists. They are progressives or democratic socialists. Affiliations with differences that are bigger than neolibs and neocons, imho.

I see this is likely about the well worn tactic of conservative [republicans] not identifying as such. Leftists don’t have a pattern of hiding this way. OTOH, there are countless examples of traditional belief right wingers who continue to do this. Supporters around them will continue to dig their heels in saying this facade is not so.

All of this fits with your belief that it is not an oversimplification to label centrists, center-left, neoliberals, progressives, hard leftists, and further on the left all as liberal.
Yes but banks are subject to a wide array of regulations, liquidity requirements and frequent third-party audits. And then, in crypto, you have Tether, whose reserves claims are dubious at best
Is it possible to parse the BTC transaction history to get a rough idea of how much USD has been lost, over the years?

At some point, when X million retail investors have lost their life savings, presumably the riots will start?
I’m not out to make things comfortable and easy for my kid as I agree that can foster the wrong attitude to tough situations. Worthwhile things are often difficult.

I more meant that I didn’t respond particularly well to formal schooling and it took me years to learn how to learn and if there’s a shorter route towards that it would probably benefit my daughter if she’s similar to me in that way.
I believe a functional universal healthcare system can only be created without interference from the existing insurance companies and healthcare networks, but they have a strong lobbying engine that cultivates both sides of the political spectrum.

If we make a universal healthcare system now, it could be a slight improvement for us, but it can only be written and passed in a way that will funnel an even larger portion of GDP to health insurance companies and hospital networks.

Oil Retrospective: Software Architecture
Today on “Only on the blockchain”…
This is a really big problem that we spent a long time solving. The fact that if you lose your private key you lose your account and its associated identity and assets is a big deal.

We have a recovery mechanism that allows you to set and manage secondary authenticators which are used as witnesses in the case of loss of access to your primary account. Another working group that I'm involved in is trying to solve this problem in a tangentially similar way using multi-signatures. It's an interesting approach.
A post about price transparency wouldn't be complete without the "Surgery Center of Oklahoma"[0]. If one for profit hospital can figure out how to publish prices in advance of surgery (for a lower price), than all hospitals should be able to do so too.

Crypto has allowed citizens to circumvent oppressive and corrupt government financial abuse, as well as provided much cheaper, faster, more reliable and convenient means of transferring small - yet, life-changing - amounts of money cross-border.

An example of the latter:

A worker in one country sending half of her weekly paycheck back to her family overseas has two options presently: days of waiting (which means no food on the table for those days), uncertainty it will arrive at all (starvation, stress and pressure toward crime), and exorbitant fees taking anywhere from 15% - 50% of what she sends (shamelessly robbing the most vulnerable). By using the correct crypto alternatives, she can send the full amount, at a cost of fractions of a percent, and know with certainty if it has arrived - in seconds.

There is a reason crypto adoption is huge in poor and oppressed countries such as Venezuela, parts of Mexico etc.

There are other benefits, but this should be enough. Nothing else has been able to, nor likely could be able to have such an impact in any short space of time in these areas, and not without possessing many of precisely the same core principles shared by most crypto projects.

This doesn't mean crypto is perfect or doesn't have problems. And it doesn't mean we should ignore those problems.

But it does mean that the endlessly served-up misinformation that crypto "has no benefits", works toward harming less-fortunate people who've suffered more than anyone should have to.
Just because you understand it to be a ridiculous charge and view the gov as embarrassing himself, does not mean all have made that judgment for themselves. Those holdouts would latch onto a verdict as truth and view the gov as vindicated.

That's basic legal harassment 101.
If I recall correctly, Slack was built utilizing IRC on the backend.

I remember that resonating with me as I was sole developer on an in-house invoicing system at a Fortune 500, and I added a whole corporate chat functionality using IRC libs. It only took a few days to implement. It made me aware how easy it can be to build a billion dollar business by mistake. Too bad not my billion dollar business!
This is true and wise.
This is not incompatible with what the parent comment is talking about.

People want easy / seamless access to the services they use. If Web3 can find a way to provide that or improve upon the current hellscape of email based logins mixed with federated social logins mixed with the pain of maintaining 100 different accounts, it might just find a place.

But the people working on this need to focus on the user’s end goals and UX needs, and not just declare the problem solved once a solution is technically working.
> open identity/auth solution

An open solution built around public key cryptography? This has been technically possible to do for two decades, in the form of PKI client certificates, but never got anywhere because the key management is the problem.

Decentralisation trades "lose your account because you got banned" for "lose your account because any device with your key on it got compromised or lost", and for many people that works out worse. It's certainly less convenient.

Identity provision is also a two-sided market. You need adoption from users and the companies they want to log into at the same time. That's why there's only a few providers that most companies bother to integrate with.
I'm not an ME or anything, but it would seem washers attest to pressure (tension) at some point in time (when the nut was tightened -unless the washer is "springy", which I doubt as it seems it simply yields at some point), whereas smartbolts attest to the tension when you look at them --so during maintenance and not only during installation, so from that PoV, they are more useful (informative).
ADA.

This is a false(ish) dilema.

The problem of Rust is that is made with a C++ mindset. Is VERY hard to make compiler fast if it follow what C/C++ do (Go is the only evidence against!).

Is a death by thousands cut. The syntax is the FIRST and big one. How you chose it will impact all the pipeline. Then the rest...
I suspect I'm similar; I think I actually like engaging with people whenever I get the chance to do so; I just have no idea how to get my anxiety out of the way so the opportunities are very rare.
Yes, I've usually seen it as neonatal as well. It might have just been what the neurosurgeons and nurses on the ward called it.
This is an old solution to a problem that does not exist. Yes, in that case the file system can be a key-value store. It would eliminate the need for a tree structure. But the tree structure has a meaning: it adds context. The directories are containers of files that adds a semantic abstraction to the files within.

About the same, Herb Sutter has a talk how that can even trigger stack overflow if the destructors are not written with care.

By the way, C++/WinRT uses background threads to handle cascade deletions of COM references exactly because of this.
Try the Beats Fit Pro. I hated the open design of Air Pods. I’ve owned two different generations/models and both would always fall out my ears after a few minutes. In a month of use, the Fit Pro has only fell out once on me.
I expect yours was pulled by a dentist and mine by a dental surgeon.

The tariffs of dentists do not follow the same pricing as those of surgeons in NL. The former is a mandated maximum based on cost price plus, the latter based on bargaining between hospital and insurer. Given the attention of private equity for the Dutch dentists I would expect the dentist to be more expensive although the team and capital requirements of the dental surgeon are probably larger.

> I think the observation that we need a way to permissionly interact with data is spot-on

The entire argument rests upon this premise and the author doesn’t explain it one bit.
Sad, but true indeed. My hope is that there is a large enough minority that does care that will push for it's gradual integration and acceptance.
Oil, imported liquid natural gas, and blackouts. New England is a lifetime away from a renewable buildout.
OpenID let you have custom auth that you controlled. Basically no one supported it, and basically no one used it.

What would make the "web3" version different?
The addition of Unicode support to Windows NT was probably done a great deal in advance of its actual release--it's not the sort of thing you can throw in the last minute.

It's also worth noting that dealing with UTF-8 correctly is more than just declaring "the encoding of this set of characters is UTF-8"--it does require you rethink how string APIs are designed to work well. If the alternative is a 16-bit fixed-with character format, UTF-8's variable-width format doesn't necessarily look like a wiser idea. It's not until 1996, when Unicode moves from 16-bits to 25-bits, that UTF-8 actually looks like a good thing.
Well you don't look for ways to use nails, you try to work out what you want to build first and then use nails if they are the best tool for the job.

i.e. work out the problem you want to solve, then see what the right technology is afterwards.
I'm surprised more people didn't recommend this. If you have the resources, I highly recommend some kind of professional help.

Think of it this way. As individuals we (hopefully) have a limited experience set dealing with recovery from significant trauma. A professional will see these kinds of things on a regular basis, and may be able to recommend a course of action tailored to you and your specific circumstances.

They may not be the fix, but they can be a shortcut to finding the path to feeling better.
> Because right now, given how long the community has had to work on the problem and we still haven't seen anything like what you're describing, I'm still inclined to believe that Web3 is all a bunch of bullshit.

That's because based on everything that's been demonstrated by 'web3' is essentially useless. And this post you're responding to is a well.

They claim the benefit of web3 is you'll be able to have 'privacy' by controlling you identity and transaction history and choosing what to share by using blockchain.

Prevent a large company from having all your info. By putting it in a blockchain? So now instead of one, every large company has your info! You aren't gaining privacy by putting your private info in a public distributed db!

And just like almost everything I see posted about web3 a few mins of thought by any serious engineer shows this again is all hype that can't be backed up by the tech. And just like web3 in general, in this HN thread you see people caught up in the hype and missing the obvious core flaw with the very premise.

This is the problem with web3, the main product it successfully produces is hype.
In scenario 1 (monopoly): Only one company with worker w1, price p.

prod_1 = punits / hours_w1

In scenario 2 (supplier + monopoly): Let's assume that the second company is not magic, but needs a worker to coordinate with the other company, mark up the price, etc.

prod_1 = (p-x)units/hours_w1

prod_2 = x*units/hours_w2

In summary, coordination between suppliers is an extra job which does not increase GDP. Productivity is decreased, because more hours are required to produce the same GDP.
> I will let @oconnor663 speak on why they dropped the 64-bit version.

The most important thing to us was that there should be just one version. It's simpler for everyone. But we actually did go back and forth about which version it would be, 64-bit or 32-bit. "PCs and servers will all be 64-bit for the foreseeable future" was definitely a big point in favor of choosing 64-bit words. Section 7.2 of our paper goes into detail about why we went with 32-bit anyway.
I know. Every time I see one of these "mutual aid" solutions, I can only see evidence of the utter betrayal of our government and society.
I still don't quite get how publishing prices up front is going to solve a lot of the problems. If I'm in an accident and bleeding out I'm not exactly going to whip out my phone and start comparison shopping which hospital to go to. What does it matter if they publish a 1,000 page PDF with tiny fonts of all their prices when I'm in need of emergency medical services and may not even begin to understand all the work I'll need? I guess it helps a bit when you're having a planned procedure done but often when you're planning out a procedure they can give you at least some kind of cost estimate.

Don't get me wrong I do find it terrible that US healthcare pricing is incredibly opaque but it does not seem to immediately offer a lot of benefits. It will probably offer a good amount of indirect benefits as those who are paid to haggle will have more information to haggle with, but to me it seems like it wouldn't really force any of the changes needed.
Wow. That's the real 10x developer play. New api? Why, we have that one endpoint!
No. It's not a token. It's an on-chain account verified by multiple permissions that are controlled by key pairs. It's based on EOSIO technology and is pretty robust.
Filecoin, Sia, and Arweave are three of the bigger chains involved in decentralized file storage. A combination of IPFS for data verification and one of these services for storage is typically enough. Many apps will store both on S3 and on Filecoin and link the IPFS hash for redundance. It's not a pyramid model, the native tokens are used to purchase storage and incentivize the bootstrapping of the storage network build out. Arweave has created an endowment like structure to guarantee data storage for 200 years.

> I wasn’t able to leave table a few times. One in particular- I used my absent father’s pepper mill and put too much in my mashed potatoes. It burned my mouth and they wouldn’t let me leave until I ate it all. Which I couldn’t do. Crying. Furious. Humiliated. Trapped.

> It got late and I started to fall asleep at table. I was greeted with the potatoes as breakfast. Then when I opened my lunchbox at school- there they were. At least I could throw them away. That was the day my anorexia began. There were incidents after where I didn’t eat enough, where I took too much and wasted it- stuck at table in a power struggle I did not understand nor could I win.

> My Mom did thuis with with my brother. If food is left out overnight, it is a trigger for him. He sees the food, and immediately thinks he has to eat it. I was forced to eat foods that made me sick, or I just didn't like. So, I would eat while dry heaving, and throwing back up into my mouth. I didn't dare not eat after seeing what my brother went through. That was the start of my eating disorder. I'm completely disconnected from my fullness/hunger cues. To eat mindfully is incredibly difficult because my brain is so used to dissociating while eating. My ED is binge eating because I used to eat a lot of anything I liked to get me through eating small amounts of anything I didn't like. I over-salt everything because I used to use salt to cover the taste of things, and need everything overcooked because my mom would undercook meat.
You're probably aware of this already, but if you command tab to an app you can use the up and down cursor keys to display all open windows for that app. You can also use command+` to cycle through open windows of the focused app.

Play2earn gaming is just a disguised ponzi scheme 99% of the time.

It's a closed loop system so the only way for people to earn money is to get it from other gamers. And gamers aren't going to throw money at these games when they could play a better "centralized" alternative.

And the reason why non-pay2earn alternatives will always be better is because non-pay2earn games are much cheaper because they only need to pay the game devs while pay2earn games need to pay both the game devs and the freeloading "earners".

Don’t listen to the people who say time is the answer. The time is now and we never know if we’re going to get tomorrow.

What I’ve come to peace with in my life is that suffering gives us an opportunity to intercede for others. It is a gift. If you haven’t read Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning I would highly recommend it.

Your last sentence is telling. “It’s not real unless I share it with someone else”. You don’t yet know the life you might change for the better by simply sharing you story. With this past you have the power to connect with others and intercede in their life. This is the greatest gift one can give another.

Be kind with yourself and any others involved. The golden rule is diagnostic. You will love others the way you love yourself.

My best to you and may you be abundantly blessed.

But that article was published in 2013, closer to a decade ago. Do you have anything more recent? Recent studies I’ve casually googled point to 3-5% prevalence internationally.
You've completely ignored my argument that it was wireless too.
Truly glad we're in web3, freeing the human spirit like no other innovation before.
You seem to think that this experience is like a feature flag you can turn on or off.

It’s not.

It’s an intractable part of who you are now. You can’t get rid of it anymore that you can anything else in your life.

Accept that it happened. Forgive whoever was a part of this, including yourself. Move on.

Who you are is who you are from this moment forward. Don’t think you can go back to who you were previously. It’s impossible. Everything new builds off of today. The past may be tainted but not the future. Read those books. You can’t taint them because the taint is in the past and the book is in the future.
Honestly, I think the tech and infrastructure is simpler than what is currently deployed at google.
The commenters replying to you are arguing protocol versus sound quality, and like you said, the connection method isn’t relevant here.

AirPods excel at a select few things. They sound passable enough for the general population, but they are a UX dream compared to what came before them.

Their real killer feature to me is their microphone performance and overall convenience for making phone calls. They go from off to connected and ready in time to answer the phone, without fuss or button pressing.

This, with its pocket sized packaging and generally decent enough music playback make it a good value proposition.

For the Pro model, they also have the most natural transparency mode I’ve ever heard, and they switch back and forth between modes quickly, which again helps for phone calls.

I think the idea that the AirPods audio quality “sucks” is an exaggeration. The intention was to have passable audio quality that the majority of people are fine with. It’s all the other stuff that makes the product a hit.

I still think about mistakes from 25 years ago. The only difference is I accept it finally and thinking about the past does not evoke much emotion anymore. All due to time.
