Not a new idea, and one I've been mildly enamored of at various points. At this point I'm somewhat ambivalent, but I think the standard responses are (depending on details of the plan):

(X) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
(X) Users of email will not put up with it

Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(X) Laws expressly prohibiting it
(X) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
(X) Jurisdictional problems
(X) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
(X) Extreme profitability of spam
(X) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes
(X) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(X) Sending email should be free
(X) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough

Certainly it doesn't work at all unless transaction costs can be negligible.
This is super anecdotal and personal, but that quote sounds exactly like me. I'm Asian and didn't come from Greenland. Consuming sugar usually causes me those things, especially in high dose (like eating a slice of cake). Fortunately I don't like cake or most sweet things in general, but if I do eat them, I can only very eat very little or I would feel all of those (diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating). I'm also in my late 30s and borderline underweight (5'8" and 125 lbs). I have not grown out of this sucrose intolerance over the years.
12 million light years is 0.013% of the size of the observable universe (93 billion light years diameter). That's quite close on a scale relative to the size of space.
> That case is talking about freedom of the press for the obvious reason that the parties there are the New York Times and Washington Post; print publications. Where are you getting the idea that the same wouldn't apply to freedom of speech?

Because the concurring, but minority opinion is a joint press freedom and speech freedom argument, but the majority of the court didn't agree with the argument, hence it being a minority concurring opinion.

> In which case did the Supreme Court say that?

For one example of many, Near v Minnesota.

"No one would question but that a government might prevent actual obstruction to its recruiting service or the publication of the sailing dates of transports or the number and location of troops."
And after years of litigation, when your well-paid counsel tells you that you're going to lose and the practical path forward is to sign a settlement agreeing to scan users' files for forbidden ones? IANAA but this does seem to be the basic path that every cloud service gets sucked into.

I wish I were wrong, but I've seen no indication that courts respect digital privacy the way that physical boundaries have come to be respected (eg the US's 4th Amendment) - if you have the ability to do something about possibly forbidden communications, then you will be forced to. Digital privacy rights feel at least a few decades off, and that's assuming the centralizers don't continue to successfully embrace-extend-extinguish.
Expense is a major factor for helicopters. Helicopters vibrate so much that many require a complete airframe overhaul after some number of hours. From this POV they are actually a very expensive consumable good themselves on top of the high fuel burn required.
I don't personally interpret it that broadly, but I've been surprised and delighted by the range expressed in other comments today! So at least to me I can't really consider that broad definition useless, at least across a group of people.
About six months.

> After reaching its orbit, Webb undergoes science and calibration testing. Then, regular science operations and images will begin to arrive, approximately six months after launch. However, it is normal to also take a series of "first light" images that may arrive slightly earlier.

It will take about a month for it to get out to the Sun-Earth L2 point which is 1.5M km (0.01 AU) from the Earth. For comparison, the Moon is 384k km away. The telescope will be 4x further away from the Earth than the Moon is.

One of my fondest memories is a day-trip I took to Kenrokuen. It was the dead of winter, absolutely blanketed in snow with more coming down, and I remember being simply awestruck by the serene beauty of it. I still go back and look at the photos I took there four or five years ago - it's one of the few times I've actually wished I'd sprung for a phone with a decent camera.

I also remember hopping on a bus, looking ridiculous covered in snow after a whole day walking around outside, and getting a good-natured laugh from some schoolchildren for my appearance. Good times.
"100% atheism" isn't a spiritual practice. It's just the absence of belief in the existence of gods.

A rock is 100% atheist, yet in all likelihood doesn't have spiritual practice.

You can have a spiritual practice under the umbrella of atheism, as long as it doesn't involve any kind of belief in gods. Whatever that practice is, that practice isn't identified with the atheism itself.
I agree with other comments suggestions:

- Use the app, see what is slow from a subjective UX perspective

- Profile your code, find hotspots

- Use system monitoring to determine if there are any hardware/network bottlenecks

One thing I would add on these, perhaps a bit more specific: You mention you are using NodeJS, and it is a CRUD app. What is your database? Are you using an ORM? Sometimes the choice of especially an ORM can cause some performance issues behind the nice opaque interface. I have no specific reason to believe this is causing the performance issues for you, but I've had issues myself in the past so thought it might be a helpful suggestion to look into (for example, N+1 query issues).
So the economics of the point-to-point air ride hailing industry comes down to the cost of the flying equipment? Given Uber is operating at a substantial loss, is this the primary reason why their Uber-Air service isn't working out? I suspect it's more than just the cost of helicopters and their maintenance.

Computer language inventors are torn between a voice whispering “use the language Luke” and and a more gravelly “let your feelings for the compiler grow, embrace the syntax side.”

I did a two-day sprint through Zig a month ago and really really liked it. It has some quirks that I would have done differently, but overall I think it’s pretty cool. I just need a good small scale project to try it out on now.

My favorite example of the “use the language” ethos is the way Zig does generics. I have hated generics/templates in every language I use them in. They are the gordian knot of confusion that most languages in pursuit of some sort of unified type theory impale themselves on (yes, I’m mashing metaphors here). But Zig just uses its own self to define user types and generics come along for free. It resonates (with me at least) as a realization of what Gilda Bracha has shared about how to reify generics.

To be fair to "the system", it was developed over decades, much of it before design was even a consideration, and almost all of it from a time when modern designs would have been a pipe dream on given device resources.

Sarcasm. Being sarcastic adds nothing to the subject, it is avoidance of engagement.

If you want to discuss there is no need to hide behind a device like sarcasm. I am open to all engagement. I realize I am on a site which is mostly composed of atheists.
I don't think so. The project that got my love was Bespoke, which is node-based but not skeuomorphic :)

You and the parent are totally missing the point.

Use the system tools. But make the look of the system tools customizable.

System tool. Customizable look.

That's what should be available. But even today you can't consistently change something as simple as a scroll bar or a checkbox.

My source is my psychologist, so I don't personally know more about it. But here are some resources I found that allude to it (though like most info on ASD, it focuses on children):

> A comprehensive evaluation requires a multidisciplinary team, including a psychologist, neurologist, psychiatrist, speech therapist, and other professionals who diagnose and treat children with ASD. The team members will conduct a thorough neurological assessment and in-depth cognitive and language testing.

National Institutes of Health (https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Educat...)

> ...a formal developmental evaluation may be needed...done by a trained specialist, such as a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, or other specialist. The specialist may observe the child, give the child a structured test, ask the parents or caregivers questions, or ask them to fill out questionnaires. The results of this formal evaluation determines whether a child needs special treatments or early intervention services or both.

Oh yes all is well within my risk tolerance, Jerome Powell may flirt with tapering but the central banks are going to continue injecting hundreds of billions in liquidity per month, and the reality is that it goes somewhere!

Even if it pools at the top, those guys are playing a game of making it grow faster than the central bank dilutes the supply, which is who this article is about
While I understand the concern, I'm not really sure I buy the argument "JS makes accessibility bad".

It is for sure easier to do things wrong, but if you check at most of the major libraries for front-end (drag-and-drop, routing, dropdowns...), accessibility is built-in, and a critical selling point (e.g react-router, downshift...).

I think the proportion of front-end developers knowing about accessibility is just low, and the result is more visible for JS-heavy websites/webapps, but this is imho an education problem, not an ecosystem issue.

Having worked in agencies, accessibility was always treated as a second-class citizen (by clients or managers, not by developers, trying to push for it), and clients would often say "let's go live without it", then would come back to us asking to finish the job once they saw their competitors got sued for having an inaccessible website.

So JS may be a catalyst, but not the root of the problem. It's our job to push for the importance of it, as we pushed for responsive websites a while ago.
Shame it's so easy to get comments flagged and killed on HN. The parent comment wasn't inflammatory and (as we can see) contributed to relevant conversation.
One can “believe in nothing” and still have “spiritual” experiences, for example the experience of observing a beautiful sunset… or perhaps the feeling we get when acknowledging that we are made from stars and will one day return to them.

You can argue that this isn’t true spirituality, but I think the way neurons fire during it is the same way a spiritual person’s neurons fire when having their own moments.

Ask HN: Those with intentionally non-remunerative side projects – Show and tell
There was recently this thread "Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell". What about those of you with side projects that don't have the profit motive in mind? Do you operate anything on the side that is purely for art, or education, or some other type of interesting work? Why do you do it? Who is the audience? Any interesting stories?
Yes, this is a solid router. Just be aware it’s not the most user friendly to configure. I’ve had one for personal use for about 5 years or so. After set up, it’s trucked along without issue though.
Interesting interview. Lot of good points. My biggest disagreement is this one point:

>In some ways, I feel like Robby is an easy case. However profoundly I may disagree with him, he’s really good about being respectful to other people in arguments and welcoming these engagements. I could imagine somebody who was much more of a polemicist, and I would still defend the value of having them on a campus. Robby is scrupulously fair, not only to students but to arguments.

Wrapping an ideology of bigotry in polite trappings doesn't make it any less bigoted.
You know, I think you can interpret Nietzsche's slave morality as the process to master morality. For example, the enlightenment was supposed to free society up from faith-thinking and introduce rational thinking, but (and he right criticizes it) it did not. I think the movement instead brought society out of older slave morality institutions into master morality and which are now considered slave morality again.

EDIT: it's worth pointing out that Nietzsche also criticizing master morality too.

No. Schools pose minimal risk, period. There have been many studies, across countries around the world, that say the same thing. There was a big study from the UK in 2020 -- prior to vaccination -- which showed that teachers under age 65 have an equivalent or lower risk of death as any other job:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10235165/Teachers-N...

Meanwhile, there's no evidence for the "appropriate measures" (whatever those are) that you're using to cast allusions on the safety of schools. There's simply no evidence base to defend the claim that schools are unsafe, and a substantial evidence base showing the opposite.

Want to give elderly teachers leave or early retirement? Sure, fine. But especially after vaccination, the rest is complete theater.

> a friend of mine just caught Covid from the school she works at last week....framing the school closings as an overreaction to a minimal risk is incorrect and dangerous.

So...your friend caught covid, and therefore, everyone else is "incorrect and dangerous". Well, guess what: a friend of mine caught covid outside of work last week. So what's your point? That people get sick?

Also: how did your friend end up, again? You skipped over the part where a fully vaccinated person recovered from a mild illness with no problems.

I am, unironically, a Dudeist. Think Buddhism, minus the mystical components. I believe balance is crucial: Walter without The Dude is too active. The Dude without Walter is too passive.

I meditate regularly, too. Imagine you had the ability to spawn a watchdog thread that could monitor your emotional state and notice when it gets out of whack, and then you could shift focus to that thread. "Huh, I'm experiencing a lot of fear right now. Why is that? This isn't an objectively fearful situation, like a wild dog chasing me. So what is it about this that's making my heart rate increase?" It's amazing how often simply noticing and asking those questions can defuse a stressful moment.

Yes, CCSDS Magenta and Blue reference books mandate AES-256-GCM as a minimum for data encryption and mandate that encryption and authentication should be used, particularly for commands/uplink. Sliding scale of requirements based on application of course - your cubesat's imaging system is less critical than the flight termination system on a manned mission, for instance.
I’m curious about any practices you may have found to integrate these positive aspects of your atheist view into your life. You mention moral responsibility and forgiveness - is there a way you intentionally cultivate these?

One thing you didn’t mention is awe or wonder, something I often hear religiously-minded people speak of. In contrast to fundamentalist religion, which exchanges awe for constricted thoughts about what is and isn’t real, it seems to me that true awe really is especially available to athiests (or those who align with religion and have moved beyond the belief system aspect and into the contemplative).
This is my approach. To me the ask for custom components from designers is extremely reasonable. The fact that it’s so hard to get all the edge cases right on the web is a failing of the tooling not the ask.

At some point we have to climb out of the trenches and introspect why the most treaded path in web design is the one with the rickety bridge and spike pits when we the software engineers are the ones who lay the bricks.
It could be a good thing. The invention of both catalytic converts and non-ozone destroying alternatives to CFCs have done great things for the environment but required large amounts of human collaboration to invent.

Making it easier for people to come together and invent / perfect new tech can have huge benefits.

Ask HN: How would you fix the web?
Presume the internet (by that I mean mostly the web) as it exists isn't what we hoped for and you are put on some committee of magicians. You are tasked with waving a wand over the internet and miraculously bending things to your will through sheer magic.

What would you keep?

What would you throw away?

What would you bring back?

What would you like to see more of?

What were you hoping the internet would solve but hasn't?

What real world things has the internet replaced that you would like to have back?

What real world things would you like to see cyber-ized?

Are you generally optimistic or pessimistic about the future of the internet?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I have a friend who always discusses equality when we talk about taxes. What makes numbers so equal in the minds of humans? Especially when it comes to fines, taxes, etc.? If we still punished people by cutting off their hands (THANKFULLY WE DON'T - but humor me) would be equal to just cut off any part of the arm longer than 24 inches? No, effect was what made it equal, cut off the hands so you can't use them anymore. The example is gruesome but makes it pleasantly obvious that raw numbers are only equal if we all make the same amount of money and have the same costs in our lives. Since we don't I don't think there is anything equal about fixed amounts of money.
We’d love to but not possible (no surprise from Apple here)
