> I believe AirDrop is a a great example of how Apples vertical integration and full ownership of software and hardware really thrives.

I guess you don't have two iDevices then? Airdropping something constantly and randomly doesn't work with no popup on the other side. It's totally embarrasing given that they have control over soft and hardware. I'm puzzled how it's even possible to screw this up so badly and leaving it like this for years.
In the case of healthcare services, it is the delay involved in shopping for a willing provider which imposes the constraint. Care delayed is itself a direct risk factor.

In the case of an automobile repair, this is virtually never the case. Tow services if you've broken down on the road might be an exception, but few if any auto-repair issues (standard maintenance, component failure, collission repair) *will not suffer additional harm if repair is delayed by hours, or days, even months or years in many cases.

That's not the case for medical treatment.

This is fully independent of the quality or appropriateness of treatemnt / repair itself.

I do hope I've made the distinction sufficiently clear.
I've started going to a strength and conditioning gym three times a week (three hours every week). It's expensive but aside from the soreness every once in a while I feel the best I've felt in years.
I wonder how exactly you manage to do that.

What happens to me (the extremely rare times I go on Amazon) is that I search for something and get as result something very different that sometimes (not often) is a cool interesting product.

I find much more interesting Aliexpress for this kind of entertainment.
We’re talking about the concept of total economic freedom in general, which would inevitably lead to negative externalities of any kind, including to the physical environment, not merely interactions between people.
“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”

This sounds very strange indeed, I'd like to see the numbers. For instance Euromomo https://www.euromomo.eu collects the statistics about death rates, here is a plot for the Italian death rate and you can see the mortality spikes with the covid waves, but those are quite specific for the elderly https://imgur.com/a/8cUdNcb

It sounds very strange that the death spike is "over" 3 sigma, which should mean over 3 standard deviations, which is really unbelievable, to me this looks like an artefact of some sort
It's not censoring for a private company to refuse service to someone.

I don't agree with government compelling speech for a private company either.
I’m curious how much the results of this poll will be affected by selection bias… it’s not only going to be “hacker news” types results, but “hacker news types who open and vote on this poll” types results
The cost of mining equipment makes it only economical to mine bitcoin if you can run the hardware 24/7, at least until the difficulty rate levels off. We can talk about hypotheticals or small mining operations, but the reality is that the big miners (Riot Blockchain, Marathon Digital Assets) are using coal and natural gas and are putting out hashrate that blow the “green” miners (dubious anyway) out of the water.
Turns electricity into heat is more like it.

sqlite is great for bulk (de)serialization. But it helps if you can setup the queries to pull all the relevant data at once. If you have a deep formula hierarchy it might be difficult to do this naively and get performance.

If you're loading an entire sheet, I guarantee sqlite will be faster than deserializing protobuf.
- I'll bike 15 minutes to and from the office.

- ~4 lunch breaks a week, I'll head to the Gym and workout for 35-40 minutes.

- Saturday is Parkrun day (a 5k run / race).

- Around 3 evenings a week (when it's not my turn to put the kiddos to bed), I'll fire up Apple Fitness and do 20/30 mins yoga.

That takes me over the 6 hour mark and it never feels like I'm going far out my way to squeeze all this in.
It was not invested in moonshots, it was raised by misleading marketing hype by the marketing genius of the moment: Elon Musk. Honestly, I cannot stop being astounded by the guy, he literally goes online and mumbles incoherently about "full autopilot in 6 months" or some similarly insane declaration and Tesla stock jumps up. It's amazing.
I thought a host file entry overrides dns resolution— wouldn't a .dev domain that's already pointed at localhost not be affected by this? Or am I misunderstanding?
This is not the flex you think it is
It may seem like a pedantic point, but these top-level domains are not owned. They currently have registry operation rights which does not confer permanent ownership.
It also allows creating type checked "new" numerical types for semantics purposes to help improve interfaces. This helps prevent things like accidentally passing an integer in the wrong units for example. Two of the worst offenders I've seen of this is: "Is this uint64_t (or float) "dt" parameter in ticks, seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds?" and "Is this angle parameter in radians or degrees?"
It's only legitimate so long as it isn't used to circumvent ITAR. The seller would probably not sell to him directly because exporting flight manuals for military aircraft was paper work the seller didn't want to deal with. By obscuring his identity through a third party the buyer violated ITAR, the seller probably also did as well by not doing proper due diligence.
Conventional broadcast media such as TV or radio can't get real-time feedback on the user's attention/preferences/behavior nor can it deliver uniquely-personalized content to each individual user. The "best" it could do is provide an average form of content that is likely to be appealing to the majority of their user base and would be subject to scrutiny as everyone can see what is broadcast.

In contrast, modern media not only knows much more about the user and their behavior but can fine-tune each individual expereince in real-time to maximize view time and "engagement" per-user without any oversight as it is impossible for a watchdog to see what each individual user is presented with. This is much more dangerous as the content can be fine-tuned based on each user's individual profile and weaknesses/addictions.

WFH has been awesome because I’ve been able to sneak away sometimes 3 solid hours during work to be active.
> I exercise daily because otherwise it's too easy to start skipping

Skipping of course being an easy way to do daily exercise :D
Another angle: finding a good contractor is almost impossible. Often you find a mediocre contractor who you need to constantly manage, which is stressful.

If you do it yourself, you know it will be done right. No corner cutting.

Although this "can't let go" or "can't delegate" mentality can have its own set of issues.
> They have been designed to be so thrilling that normal life cannot compete.

Maybe today's normal life, at least for us in the developed world. But I'd wager that spear hunting a wild animal in the woods with your fellow tribe-mates is far more thrilling and rewarding than any video game.

That could be the issue, our brains don't differ from our ancestors who did things like those, regular life today lacks life-threatening thrill which could be the reason of growing addictions.

I know of a phenomenon present among some peoples in Siberia, the part of the tribe that lives out in the wilderness following reindeer live a tough life but depression among those tribe-members is non-existent. While those living in the towns have substance abuse problems and high suicide rates.
I’m surprised it is as high as you claim! You’re saying that for that age group, in a given year, the chances are 1 in 200 of dying? That seems like pretty bad odds on something that is literally life and death.
Twitter has worldwide reach, so what if a citizen of another country is harmed due to misinformation posted by a US elected official? The citizens of that country didn't elect them.
I hope that Ford is able to build an EV that runs reliably well beyond the warranty period.

The F series are popular trucks, and it would be great to see more EV adoption from truck drivers.

I think that will be heavily influenced by either a) reliability or b) accessible repairs with cheap parts.

Ford’s fuel trucks have essentially both today, but a botched EV rollout could leave customers with neither and price hikes aren’t a great sign.

So you think they should be held to higher standards than others then?
I had a similar experience with ayoaska. It removed some traumas that were blocking my self awereness and in some way growth. This helped me in my personal and professional life. I recommend it but should be taken with caution and in a security manner.
They were probably illegal to export under ITAR, but otherwise not classified, there are lots of items that fall in to that category.
All of the non-COVID deaths I’ve heard of among younger people (<60) from my extended social circle and their family/friends have been drug related.

Working from home can remove a lot of the accountability that keeps addicts in check. When your coworkers can’t see you, it’s much easier to be inebriated or otherwise suffering from addiction-related issues without feeling social pressure to correct it.
There's always C-SPAN. She hasn't been censored. She's only been denied a company's message amplification product. Goofball isn't a protected class, so Twitter is under no obligation to serve her.
A Pokemon GO - like game but developed by a subversive power to destabilize society further and further, inch by inch, slowly until the strength withers from within.

Would be a decent Black Mirror episode.
40 is a real critical time period in my opinion.

At 50 years old mortality rates kind of go up dramatically.

So starting in your 40s onward you probably need to be in decent shape to minimize the risk.
Has Twitter applied their rules fairly and evenly, or even tried to do so?

Last I remember Maxine Waters was calling for public harassment without consequence.
Why should Twitter give up their right to freedom of expression and freedom of association?

These companies don't really "own" the names. They're paying $180k/yr for the privilege of ICANN delegating the responsibility of managing that gTLD to them. But this privilege isn't any kind of legal right; the company doesn't have a deed to or easement on that gTLD that would hold up in court. ICANN has just agreed, as their side of the contract, to 1. accept that company's zone-registration modifications vis-a-vis that gTLD; and 2. to not accept any other third-party entity's zone-registration modifications vis-a-vis the gTLD. But if ICANN don't like what's going on, they always have the right to just cancel the relationship (probably with a pro-rated refund for the rest of the contract period, but still) and then do what they like with the gTLD from there.

The thing I'd compare it most closely to, is an exclusive licensing of IP rights from a copyright-holder to another entity, where those rights include a sub-licensing right. While that contract pertains, the entity who licensed the rights can basically act as if they owned those rights; but the actual legal right-holder can always just revoke the licensing agreement — in the process, either "absorbing" the transitive license grants to themselves, anuling those transitive licenses, or finding a new contract-holder and transferring the "stewardship" of those transitive licenses to them.
> runoff is over-fertilization of industrialized farmland.

And I'd say that the leading cause of that is the increase of world population which necessitates the "industrialized farmland". In other words there's always a balance between more people on this planet vs more wild-life.
It’s not a common part of most people’s vocabulary but not unknown among those with a higher rate of reading.
You must define “exercise“. Walking your child to school is exercise, but it’s not going to a gym or working out hard or anything like that.
I had a similar experience with ayahuasca. It removed some traumas that were blocking my self awareness and in some way growth. This helped me in my personal and professional life. I recommend it but should be taken with caution and in a security manner
The comparison is the CO2 saved from transitioning from fossil fuel vehicles to EVs
Unless you count walking (in order to go somewhere, since I don't drive and have stopped using public transportation since the pandemic), I do zero exercise.

Yes, I know it's wrong and unhealthy and I'll pay for this, and yes, it worries me. But all kinds of exercise bore me to tears and there's always something more interesting for me to be doing.
It’s more that technical people understand how this actually works and realize that, for example, all of these “web3” apps depend heavily on the real web and underlying internet protocols like TLS, IPFS is expensive and slow enough that it’s not suitable for most applications, and the proposed solution for the backend is both unusable for apps requiring privacy or access control and, even if it did work, much slower and far more expensive than hosting your app on a single iPhone.

When you want to be paid up front for something which needs fundamental redesigns and many orders of magnitude improvements for scalability and performance, it’s reasonable to question your motives.
You should remove markdown syntax from that link, it messes it up.
No idea what point you are trying to make here. Do you not agree with what I’m saying about hashing? Or do you just disagree with the way I said it?

You can cache password validation without storing the clear text password. That’s what I’m saying. If you don’t understand what a key stretching function is, the whole concept makes no sense, so I put a short explanation in.
I didn't see an article. I saw a tweet with statistics. I had to look for the article, it's further down past a few hidden tweets. I appreciate your written explanation, I'm not a fan of the "downvote as disagreement" mechanism.
Anecdotally the same for other sites like KiwiFarms. I may not agree with all content posted on such sites, nor spend my day there, but I certainly don't believe in censoring unpopular opinions. There were also screenshots of Google censorship posted during the 2016 election that were concerning and I verified a subset of these myself.

Regardless of one's political and social viewpoints, we should stand united against censorship.
I feel like article like this one are commonly used by the anti-vaccine community. They point to those ominous, rising death numbers and understand them as evidence for the dangers of mRNA vaccines. It would therefore (among other reasons) be helpful to understand where exactly that rise in numbers comes from, is it vaccines (which I don't think, else we'd be seeing a similar spike in, say, Europe)? Or is it being caused by other factors, such as fetanyl?
You are making a series of assumptions that are either debatable or not true. We don't know how the alternate reality where the power plants are still on looks like. The biggest reason is that most of the plants that were switched off were scheduled to be taken offline anyway because they were old. It was only sped up because of Fukushima. When people talk about Fukushima, they usually say "well it was old technology, it can't happen with the new ones", but when Germany takes the old technology offline (we're talking about some designed in the 60s), then it's criticized for political posturing and FUD.

Secondly, I posted somewhere else, but the German tax payers are since 2017 on the hook for an estimated $170B of costs for the disposal of old nuclear waste from the plants. Greenpeace has criticized the deal as inadequate since the costs will likely be higher. The way I see it, a lot of money was saved by switching them off, and that money can be used for something else. The problem of nuclear waste is unsolved in most of the world, including the US, where there are already reports that the temporary storage is leaking. Another thing to consider.

But those are mostly just opinions and what ifs. Crucially however, you are assuming that green energy can't provide for years and that they switched to an objectively worse power source. It's just not true: they rely less on coal now then they did 10 years ago, and have increased the renewable part to 45% (from 30% just five years ago). The amount of coal in use now is at a historic minimum both in terms of the percentage and the absolute amount.

This is a different review, for what it's worth, though of the same book.

The review is the salient factor here, not the book.
These days I'd probably interpret it as "took a Lyft".
Sadly you might be right, depending on where you live. In the US free speech is still supposed to be free, and Google blocks a subset of results it deems undesirable.
Circle Inversion Chaos Game
Yeah the whole point about "everyone agrees on a protocol therefore it is centralized" is one hell of a strawman. Centralized means "some small number of entities can unilaterally decide to change the rules". Anyone can change the rules at any time and users can decide to follow or not. This is just a hard fork.
Heh yeah. Judge Dredd comes to mind too.
But when is a private company's refusal of service break the line of editorializing their product?
The counter argument is that Bitcoin is a battery [1] so that if you live in a place like Iceland with plentiful energy, so much that even exporting it as aluminum leaves extra, then you can turn it into Bitcoin and export it that way.

But most Bitcoin mining is not that. I feel like Joni Mitchell in the Big Yellow Taxi: "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" [2] Why are we allowing this to happen? (Well, at least outside China)

Assuming risk is evenly distributed between birth and death, you would expect a 1 in 80 chance of dying in any given year. But since the risk is loaded towards the later years of life, 1 in 200 during the earlier years sounds about right. Perhaps it's 2x higher than I would have guessed otherwise, but it's the right order of magnitude.

Except for my Arkansas relatives who are always “fixin’” to do something.
In an ideal world, because they are now the public square effectively, they should be held to a different stricter standard. As well as other big tech companies (App Store, etc.)
But that 46% used for “investment” can still be used for something tangible at a later date and so has something other than speculation setting it’s price.

Frankly I was pleasantly surprised it was only 46% used for investment.
Copypasta source material.

You know. I can guarantee that for most, it is getting more difficult to ignore this to the point that questions like this pop up every now and then.

So their 'worst nightmare' is becoming more real everytime it is talked about. If you believe it is a fad or a hype, just ignore it.

We all know it won't be the last time we will discuss about it (again) and the same people will come here and comment and talk about it once again.

Ask HN: Why were all the popular posts about Web3 posted in the last 2 months?
If you search for "web3" on HN, and sort by popularity for all time...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Web3&sort=byPopularity&type=story

... you can see that all of the most popular posts have been submitted over the last two months, and the vast majority of those in the last 30 days.

Is this some sort of astroturfing attempt? Have I not used the search properly? Is writing and submitting blog posts about web3 a new trend?
We are rapidly depleting our remaining carbon budget. Can a bitcoiner please explain to me why this is a necessary technological development right now?
>it’s not elderly people who are dying

Quoted verbatim from the source article. This is a plain statement on the death rate of that specific age group.
Define "very low". I think the "half a percent" number can seem "artificially" low because it's just looking at the probability of death in a single year. Looking at US actuarial tables, even an 80 year old has an annual chance of death of less than 5%. Just looking at that number alone may make one think that is a "low" death rate, but nobody is surprised when an 80 year-old dies.
I’d recommend anyone try going a week with zero phone apps or TV. You will be surprised not only by how strong the habits are, but also by how strong they are in others. Its puts a depressing focus on how much time people around you spend mindlessly scrolling on their phones while you hang out.

I have an ex who was so hooked on instagram that she would even pull it up to browse during red lights driving. We can’t handle downtime anymore without our phones.

The sad thing, even as you identify into this (true) dynamic, is that it’s happening in this community in favour of this supposedly heterodox viewpoint.

The slightest counterpoint to this supposedly suppressed lab leak theory is downvoted, flagged, and the community congratulates itself on its paradoxical unity-in-contrarianness. Before our very eyes!

Just asking questions — and saying what people really think — has long been a profitable grift. It’s sobering to see how different audiences succumb to it so acutely.
Elected officials shouldn't have to rely on Twitter or other social media platforms to communicate with their constituencies. This woman seems like a loon to me, but she's a loon with a democratic mandate. If social media is going to be the default communication medium, then perhaps it needs regulation to clarify its relationship with elected officials.
