An open relay is different from what you describe. My email account is not an open relay just because I can spam whomever I want from it, and neither is my twilio account.

And I don't need to send sms spam. If it was blocked on the way out, that'd be fine.
Thanks Abishek!

I do think Netvyne addresses the need to interact with others on a website as mentioned. In fact, this particular need-gap was something we've thought about, and we do already have a live chat section built into the extension itself in order to address it.

Thanks for the invitation, I'll go a head and post a comment there!
Sidney Poitier, who played Crease, just died at the age of 94 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29849171 obviously he's been in more culturally significant movies, but I always liked his poor no-nonsense guy having to deal with all these darn wackos portrayal in this movie.
How do you know that the outputs a, b, and c correspond to outputs 1, 2, and 3 and whether they will always occur in the same orders. This technique seems like it's full of possibly invalid assumptions.
I dunno, that’s why I asked.

Was hard to find any info. The Only Iceland bank I did find after searching “monthly bank account fees in Iceland” had a link to a PDF of their fees in Icelandic only (my phone won’t translate pdfs), and that was linked from their English page for newcomers.

You don't have to overthink it. Web 2.0 wasn't a real thing either. It was generally marked by the expansion of real-time interactive applications on the web that didn't need to refresh for state updates.

It's just an abstraction, not a technical term. Think of it as the third generation of web applications.

There are a lot of high schoolers who do not live within walking distance of their school, or who aren't safe walking to their school. Buses are unreliable, easy to miss, and public transportation can be expensive.

It's a whole thing.
I'm in complete agreement, but 13 year olds cannot secure their own transportation.

Most school districts I've lived in seem designed to ensure parents drive their kids to school.

As an example, my current district won't offer a bus unless you live more than 3 miles away. 3 miles is a giant distant to walk every morning. Luckily, we live about a half mile away and she bikes to school. I wouldn't let her bike 3 miles, because it would mean crossing multiple highways.

No, it’s for the average computer user who uses it because megacorps like Microsoft and Adobe need to siphon a profit somehow. People don’t choose to use Windows. It’s a decision made by many of the same industry titans who have increasing influence on the direction of Linux as well.

It's amazingly rare to find gas stations that don't require prepay these days... but about three months ago I pulled off at a rural gas station, pretty remote area but two fairly new electronic pumps. The pumps seemed like they nominally accepted cards but the reader was taped over like a temporary problem, so I walked inside and put a bill on the counter and told them to put it on number one like you do... The clerk gave me a look like he had no idea what I was doing. Told me to go back outside and pump gas first so there was something to pay for (I think "so there's something to pay for" were his exact words).

I can only assume this is a joke he plays on out-of-towners. Either that or some kind of temporal anomaly has happened and I bought gas in the '90s.

For how commodity gas is it's kind of surprising the number of strange gas station stories I've accumulated over years in the rural southwest, but I suppose that's exactly why. A lot of towns have a gas station because they're a long ways from the next one, not because they actually have a lot of business. The consolidation of gas stations into the modern four-pump-plus with convenience store lead to a lot of older one-pump stations closing, but the ones that held on got stranger. So you end up with oddities like a restaurant that runs a couple pumps in the parking lot on the side, so paying cash requires flagging down a waiter (this was, if memory serves, actually on the outskirts of Silver City and so not even really that remote by regional standards).

The second reference is satire, right? It's clearly insane.
It's an excellent point. I'm open to all alternatives, but clearly no matter which way forward the teachers and support staff ( basically everyone but administrators, in my opinion) need to get their pay boosted to what an educated professional with the demands teaching kids can command on the free market. There are other nations with good ROI on public education, and it would be wise for us to see what made them successful.

Sadly administrators, government bloat, poor resource allocation in public schools and just poor use of human resources and capital investment could all be to blame. I'm skeptical a monopoly is the best way forward, but sometimes monopolies _can_ work well if they're beholden enough to their customers (the tax payers).

But please remember I did not come up with this, see sibling comment (pjgalbraith). It seems the method is called the Ferber method although I learned a modified version from what I found when I looked it up[1]: the way I learned it was to increase by two minutes each day, not more, ie first day 1 and then 3 minutes, second day 3 and then 5 minutes etc. I believe this will be even gentler and it has worked wonderfully for both children and adults.

Now to your question:

> Got any tips for when they wake up freaking out in the night?

Two things:

Once kids learn to associate bed with relaxing on their own they can often find their way back to sleep easily but not always.

My rule of thumb has been that if they have been asleep and wake up I walk in immediately as soon as I can so to make sure they aren't worried about being alone. Then it is up to ones judgment as a parent: if it is just old habits, start the countdown timer. If however they are scared (nightmares etc) stay a bit longer or if necessary take the child out of bed and hold them.

This is easier to judge if one arrive quickly because otherwise it is hard to know if they were scared when they woke up or if they became scared after thinking they were alone.

For a lot of state/government employees in the USA, salaries are public record. It's not really that uncommon.
As someone else noted, tax returns are public in Italy too, but you have to request them explicitly for a given person.

Newspapers can and do publish analysis of tax returns by politicians, for example.

Some years ago the tax authority decided to actually publish everything online for ease of access and the country exploded, so the privacy authority told them not to do that.
The author mentions that currently all NFTs are just URLs, but it is possible to store data directly in the blockchain, even if it would be prohibitively expensive.

An issue with general-purpose immutable storage is that it can be permanently polluted with illegal data. Everything from child pornography, instructions for making drugs or explosives, doxing/attack information, private keys for copy protection systems, etc...

It would be possible to make Ethereum or any similar blockchain illegal to the level of "penalty of death" in many countries by simply adding some horrendously blasphemous text content to it.

Even if bulk image or video data is too expensive to store, an option would be to simply use torrent "magnet:" links.

Bitcoin is just for financial transactions, so I doubt it would be vulnerable to this, but the more generic chains don't seem to have any way to protect themselves from this kind of attack.

Seriously, what would happen if a bunch of paedophiles started minting NFTs of their favourite child pornography and trading it? They would be "protected" by the inertia of the block chain. Governments eventually would have to step in and make it totally illegal, and then.. that's it. The value would instantly go to zero!

Alternatively, NFTs would have to be made revocable or erasable in some way, but that then totally defeats the purpose. That's the author's point -- his dynamically changing NFT was revoked in this manner.

I just don't see a way around this. Either you allow indelible illegal content, or allow forced revocation. Either way, the value of NFTs must go to zero.
The comment consists of "This", "Then", and "how indeed", followed by the biggest recent inflammatory tweet on the topic. That is not an interesting or substantive comment. Many users in this thread have posted far more substantive things. HN is for that, not this.
In spite of national and state level legislation aimed to standardize schooling, the reality is that education tends to be a local product. That is - I’ve heard bad stories from parents in parts of the country and world, but locally our kids really didn’t experience much negative. Our superintendent ordered chromebooks and hot spots for the district in December 2019 (!!!) because he was so afraid of what was coming. We are just a rural 30,000 person community so it may have been a lot easier for us to mobilize than other places. My own three kids are very different types of students, but it wasn’t a bad experience for any of the three. It was actually a blessing for my youngest - she was able to set her own schedule each day and as a result jumped way ahead academically. Now that we are back in the classroom, I definitely see more sleep and quality of life issues.
> 432 Hz tuned music was associated with a slight decrease of mean (systolic and diastolic) blood pressure values (although not significant),

"Not significant" means that "a slight decrease" is not supported by the data in the conventionally accepted way. By convention, authors should not make claims either way if the effect is not statistically significant, even if they believe the effect is real. So the sentence above is declaring that the authors aren't following the norms of scientific claims.
Yeah, that kinda sounds bad, but then again, if your salary is below what you should deserve, you just change jobs again with a higher salary request.
I really love their example of an NFT that changes based on where you see it.

I've been kicking around an idea of selling a bushel of NFT's and then later changing all the images to the text "I spent money on a monkey but all I got was this stupid text" and then abandoning the project.
> The centralization of apis (infura

> How hard is it to create a competitor to infura?

Infura is merely hosting nodes for you and exposing their JSON RPC endpoints. They did not _create_ the API.

There's already plenty of competitors in that space. QuickNode and GetBlock for instance, if you want mutualised/managed nodes. You can also host your own node yourself, or use e.g. AWS Blockchain to host it for you, or even use the public free hosted nodes that most blockchain project provide. It's just a Metter of trade-off between cost, time and security.

If you are using JSON RPC APIs (which most people do) there is nothing that locks you to Infura or any other provider.
I noticed kids playing outside more in parks. But also, think of the benefit of missing out on hours and hours of preaching from their teachers. They can just research things on the internet now. And come to their own conclusions.

Without sounding negative, it basically says that sometimes its good to have centralisation because you have:

- Parties with skin in the game for protection
- Support
- Someone to reach-out to when things go wrong

And the second argument is that country can still censor (to an extent)
In Norway, this is normally asked during the interview. If the employeer would look up your tax returns, you’d be notified of it and, at least for me, it would be such a huge red flag that I would almost unconditionally decline an offer.
In Finland, to stop a free for all of 'nosy parkers' you have to physically visit a tax office to view the information. This results in a few newspaper reports of the biggest payers around the time the information is released (https://yle.fi/news/3-12181764) and then everyone looses interest.

I’m not really disagreeing with you, though I will note in our district, parents who are willing to advocate for transportation options get a better result than parent who just go along. There’s a dirty little secret across the country where districts have limited bus options in order to save money (and due to driver shortages). So I’d you don’t demand that they make a bus stop near your house for your kid, they may just overlook you. I thought it wa s just my district until I did a little reading.
It's less "anti Javascript" and more against "it's a great idea to base the entire web around loading completely unverifiable and uncontrolled executable code from anywhere in the universe."

Javascript is a reasonably nice language for what it does, and if it was all still mostly inline or browser managed packages or whatever the modern ecosystem would likely be significantly less of a user-hostile dumpster fire.
That's how the EU works. You vote for a political direction by choosing between EU party groups. The EUCO defines priorities and the political direction of the EU, not the head of the EC. The EPP which Von Der Leyen is part of won the most seats in the EP, David Maria Sassoli is part of the S&D which has the second most seats in the EP and Charles Michel is part of Renew which has the third most seats in the EP. The comissioners are also part of different other EP groups, yet they all work together. It's somehow similar to the UK where you don't vote for Boris Johnson, but for the Conservative Party. The difference is that the EU is almost always led by a coalition, not a single party.

In Russia people vote for the president, but that does not matter much - what matters is who owns the press and counts the votes. Which is exactly what PiS and Fidesz did: they owned the press. And PiS also messed withe the judges and quite openly admitted to having bough spyware which was used to spy on the opposition. That's the difference between the EU, Poland and Hungary.

It kind of sounds like you're arguing that since the blockchain can just be ignored it's somehow less meaningful. But I'll bite:

Then the people with guns now have to expend resources to maintain and enforce those amendments. If they are not somehow just discarding the entire blockchain subsequent to their amendment, they're maintaining an every increasingly complex set of merges. Furthermore their amendment (very probably) isn't a cryptographic blockchain, so it's subject to all the problems that the actual blockchain list are not (forgery for example).

What makes blockchains unique is that they are the first example of these various records (ledgers, titles, etc) that physically cannot be manipulated in certain ways.
Provinces could make vaccination mandatory, says federal health minister
I'm torn on the subject, for one I think the transparancy is good, especially when viewed in the public sphere, but on the other hand, like HN mentioned: it's bad that the "ladder syndrom" might occur: e.g. one only hops a certain % in salary.
On the other hand, one might also view what all the collegues are earning and the "past" wouldn't be a relevant anymore, but rather the merits one might bring to a company.
In addition I find tax Returns different from salary history, though for most indeed would be the same.

Western culture has taken over the world. People from all corners of the globe wear western clothes, listen to western music, watch western TV, talk about western current events, speak western languages and practice western religions. Not all, of course, but western culture is more dominant than any other. The place for white Europeans to practice their culture is called Earth.
I’m an immigrant to the Netherlands and have lived here for more than 10 years. I don’t recollect ever experiencing racism. At the same time, I think there are demographics in this country that are more likely to abuse the system or display behavior that make one a little more suspicious of them in principle.

That said, country profiling by the government, as much as it would probably be an effective dimension to detect fraud imo, shouldn’t be used by a government. The same way airport control shouldn’t profile people by appearance or any racial and gender characteristics.
> "I think open, transparent and permissionless systems replacing trusted central authorities is good for the world and can rebalance and decentralize power.

Does this not just shift the power to people who can manipulate the zeitgeist? I imagine a Tucker Carlson demagogue but with the ability to materially affect machinery with economic and social consequences. Imagine things like publicly shaming and doxing everyone who owns the wrong kind of NFT, or is a stakeholder in the wrong kind of enterprise.

> I’m hopeful that the financial exuberance in crypto markets can attract brilliant minds away from selling people ads to instead build a more equitable and cooperative future.

1) The people I know who are genuinely fighting for equity are not attracted by the promise of riches. The financial exuberance actively attracts the wrong crowd.

2)I'm also interested in addressing inequity, but if one were to seriously try to build systems with equity and cooperation as goals, why would blockchain technology be a good choice knowing what we know in 2022?
