And private information will probably one day no longer exist. Imagine some kind of device that can scan the neurons in your brain along with the electrical/chemical state and somehow extract information from that (such as a memorized cryptographic private key). Let's just throw our hands up and give up on cryptography altogether.

Even a pharmacological approach is a side channel attack which no one seems to care to distinguish between attacks on or flaws with the underlying idea. When discussing the merits of blockchain technology we are allowed to take for granted its very obvious underlying assumptions. Namely that there exists private information held by a user of the system.
I don't worry much. I'd prefer if they knew more, but somehow kids were always able to learn the sciences or engineering. Just because they don't learn on their own, it doesn't mean they'll never know it.

You can already buy a battery Ford 351 crate motor and it's a drop in replacement for an ICE, you gotta do the batteries and we need to replace the heater with something electric, little baby heat pump.

When I (male) interviewed for a tech role at Amazon back in 2000, one of my interviewers was a woman in a sundress (it was summer), with large, visible tattoos and a nose piercing.

The men were dressed casually, in jeans and t-shirts, but seeing her able to feel comfortable as herself made me excited to join. This was at a time that Starbucks made baristas cover up visible tattoos, and many professional tech roles at large companies still required "business casual" of khakis & polos.

Apparantly you missed the fact that the whole child day-care compensation system is going to be changed [1]. Parents will no longer receive money but the money will go directly to the day-care (and eventually 100% of the costs will be covered).

> This is just pure bullying to inflate "frauds caught" numbers

I can't find any source that says so (and you don't provide a source). The only reason mentioned anywhere was the tax service thought the law compelled them to come down hard on fraud [2]. This interperation was later confirmed by the courts. It was only much later that the court made a U-turn on that decision.

> I didn't really leave it out, I just don't think it's relevant.

It's relevant because the laws which caused all this (which the tax service interperted as "we are compelled to come down hard on fraud") were a direct result of that fraud [2].

> This is an argument against electronic records, not blockchain specifically. They are side channel attacks.

What makes it a blockchain problem is removing the safeguards. If you are saying the blockchain is an immutable record controlled by individual private keys, you are saying that any mistake is permanent. If you allow corrections, you don’t need the expense of a blockchain.

> > and you also have new problems like the possibility of someone claiming a malicious transaction years ago.
> What do you mean by this? Maybe an example would help.

I go to buy your house. You show me the chain saying you own it. A month later, someone says you phished their grandfather who was in hospice (or that the transaction was made by a spouse without approval, etc.) and now there’s a dispute about whether the transaction was authorized. Traditionally this is handled with third parties who can confirm that, say, they had everyone in the same room and checked ID. Moving to a model where access to a private key is all that matters requires similar solutions before you can say it removes the need for title insurance.
I liked this and will be the first to admit I have an information ingestion problem that the internet has made many times worse.

In grade school I nearly failed a semester because I read books all day. It was obsessive. I didn't do my school work but knew all kinds of random facts. And even though my parents caught it and pulled me out I never did as well as I could have because at some level the issue persisted, even now and I'm 50 years old.

It really has been a problem my entire life. I suspect it's kind of like the evolutionary desire for sugar. Useful when sugar was rare, deadly when sugar is cheap, refined and readily available. Same with the desire for information. We can only healthily process so much and we only need so much and it needs to be in the proper form.

It's so bad sometimes I'll have multiple tabs open at a time paging back and forth at light speed, or listening to informational audio and trying to read at the same time. Or surf the net for 14 hours straight. Like a wino greedily slurping a bottle as fast as he can with another ready to go in the other hand.

I never got into video games which always seemed like complete boring waste of time.

The ironic thing is I never would have found the article if I weren't frantically scrolling HN looking for the keys to the universe.

I can never claim I can find all the bugs, I’m not even that smart. Thus I can comment on style, overall compatibility with existing mechanisms. Ask/remind which tests were run.

Trivial stuff is easy to catch, refactoring parts I’m familiar might help with pitfalls known to me.

Still I can’t see how one can claim finding all bugs is possible.

I think this would depend on time period. 1930s sure, later I'm not convinced (to be honest I don't know enough about the period after the 30s in Ukraine). For example during the Guatemalan "Civil War" between 150 000 and 200 000 people were killed and disappeared (~25% of that number). That is a lot of people for a population of 17 M.

I'm certainly not criticizing BookStack. It actually looks super responsive and have a great set of features to manage knowledge especially for an open source platform.

As for roles. In organizations of a certain size, the concept of role is not organization wide, but team-wide. You will set for example the editor role, for some people of the team "Operations". Don't really see how this can be done on BookStack
Just remember, you make it depressing by feeling sad about a future event. It's just a clock, which is probably wrong. All manner of things could happen tomorrow to the person with 10% left, like dropping dead from (whatever).

Or, you could find yourself in a much better place in a year, and the time you spend doing that better is worth more in a year than the last 5 years where it was not better.

I think the main question is how much are we willing to sacrifice of our lifestyle? People die every day of various reasons alcohol, drugs, strokes, car accidents etc. COVID is imminent danger to the people with underlying conditions and they should practice maximum precautions(distance, masks etc. plus Vitamin D intake). Other people should carry on living. COVID is coming to endemic soon.

Apple on one hand does sell iCloud (and all that sync between devices that goes with it) along with its hardware.

And on the other hand, only manages to handle accounts issues like we were still in the 90's.

That is, brutally locking people out of their own systems (sometimes for explainable reasons, which should still be resolvable) without any possible discussion or recourse.

The only thing you can do is go at an Apple Store or call Apple support on the phone, only to spend hours and hours with them carefully following their scripts, sometimes escalating the issue to a more senior one, all of them sorry in the end that they can't fix it, and asking you to still note them well, because the issue is not on their side but on Apple's procedure wall.

Which makes the first selling point ("all my life sync'd across my devices") moot at best, adversary at worst.

The senior population is especially vulnerable to account hijacking and loss of their account, and then, their data, and then their devices (at least, they can recover their devices with the help of someone else, but most of their data is lost).

And/or something is definitely rotten in the account reset/recovery procedures.

I have the problem that my addiction (scrolling 4chan* and HN for hours) has materially added value to my life. I've been introduced to books and resources and technical advice that I've found nowhere else. But I have trouble controlling the amount of time I spend browsing.

*4chan is full of hate, but if you grew up with it and have a sort of auto-filter, there are surprising things there. I would not have read (and deeply enjoyed) Moby Dick if not for 4chan. Weird. This is not a recommendation though, generally speaking, avoid the place at all costs.

> Z80 that apparently also worked as a kind of IO coprocessor, and some PAL chips mentioned in connection with Xenix[1]

A total digression, but I love the proliferation of CPUs for IO etc. on older systems. My worst-ever Franken-machine like that was my Amiga 2000. Right out of the box the A2000 had a 6502 compatible SOC as a keyboard controller (I don't remember the model number - might be a 6507). Then I got a SCSI controller that had a Z80 on it. And a bridge-board with an 8086 on it I think. I plugged a 286 accelerator into the bridge board, and a 68020 accelerator into the Amiga side... Not all of them were used at once, but having a machine with a 6502 compatible, a 68000, a 68020, and 8086, a 80286 and a Z-80 in the same case was fun...

Of course the Commodore 128 had both a 8502 (6502/6510 compatible) and a Z80 (for CP/M) at the same time, and in CP/M mode the Z80 actually called 8502/6502 code for IO etc....

And of course for the C64, C128 and many others the floppy drive had a CPU as powerful as the actual machine (the C64 1541 floppy drive had a 6502, only marginally different (GPIO and some very minor other differences) to the 6510)

Dropbox is the entity who tries to fit the "extract money from the users" peg to this file sync functionality.

Had the same reaction. Seemed like such a silly thing to say. Does he know what the scale of Axie is and what the scale of national GDPs are? Seems so ridiculous.

But I also don't agree with your characterization of developing nation economies. You have your own blinders on. The degrees of freedom a developing country has are constrained ... but not mainly by outside market forces ... more their own internal institutional structures.

India was isolated from all Western banking for the main part for a long time. Also insulated from competition from Western companies. That was not a good time for India. Turns out your own institutions can fuck up pretty well on their own. Openness and liberalization of an economy also come with complications but these are not "slave labor" and "colonization". I feel you have been exposed to some ideologies but have not actually tried to manufacture something in a developing country and seen the friction that prevents local economies from leveling up ... its not the EU or America stopping Indian manufacturing from leveling up ... its India's own internal complexities.

If it was possible to do what you suggest, Taiwan, South Korea, and now Chinese advanced manufacturing would not exist. Countries just need to get their act together.

Yeah, that's my experience too. Fedora generally just works unless I break it myself. This system has seen 5 or 6 major release upgrades and the only time I've had issues was when I let the root disk fill up mid-upgrade, and even then it was easy to fix without a reinstall thanks to dnf distro-sync.

Granted, I specifically chose my hardware to be Linux-compatible, which meant no nvidia and a bit of googling when choosing the motherboard, but even Windows would have issues with a lot of the shoddy hardware that's out there.

That's only true for material wealth. I come from a long line of merchants and rabbis (Abarbanel), and while our family have been expelled, robbed and worse many times, we've been able to build upon education and constructive traditions passed on from generation to generation; this is kind of wealth that's much harder to take away.
Same. I don’t trust sites in general, so I gave a Jan 1 of my actual birth year. It didn’t like it.
Perhaps, but it feels a bit like the Monty Hall paradox/game. If you know which ones are more truthful, then the odds aren't as bad as "everyone must be guilty until proven innocent."

"Innocent until proven guilty," the modus operandi of the US judicial system, at least in theory, is the design of a system that assumes trust and removes offenders.
The thing you seem to be missing is that there's no one number that's a meaningful limit for all purposes.

What probability you accept as significant should depend entirely on how you plan to use the results. Something with a p value of a staggering 70 % (i.e. it's more likely not true than true) is significant if the payoff is good when it's true, and the cost is small when it's not true.

And 70 % is very far from 5 %!

Then again, if the payoff is tiny compared to the cost, you might ask for a p-value of less than 0.01 %, in order for it to make sense to take the chance on it.

Think like a poker player: a hand that has 1/4 chance of winning needs better than a 3-to-1 payout when it wins to be playable. Conversely, when the pot offers you a 3-to-1 payout, you better make sure your hand has more than a 1/4 chance of winning.

Perhaps could be written better, but promulgating the idea of "you should consider /events instead of webhooks" is good. Most teams just do webhooks without considering /events.

IMO webhooks are overrated. They have trust issues (requiring signatures or shared secrets), they make code hard to test (because you have to mock the other end), and they bring up versioning issues (client can't advertise the version expected). When I consume webhooks I usually poll anyway and simply use the webhook notification that "Thing ID #123456 changed, poll it". Most of the time I'd be happier polling /events on a minutewise basis.

The bit in the article about long polling seems pointless. If you're accepting webhooks, you're accepting someone else's schedule and it's probably not that urgent. Everyone has a cron-equivalent, it's easy to poll statelessly.
> thanks to nuclear plants shutting down and CO taxes, we are starved of energy.

There are countries which already started transitioning to renewable energies which not only endured long periods of energy independence from renewable sources alone but also already reported energy production surpluses which even led to null and negative energy prices.

Therefore your baseless assertion regarding shutting down nuclear and coal plants seems to be totally made up and completely unfounded.

Can you provide any basis for your assertion, and point out any rational basis for that so-called "energy starvation" scenario?
> Lastly, there was a story yesterday on HN about high fertilizer prices.

Keep in mind that you can't make urea without carbon dioxide.

Currently, you just can not electrify its production. It would take many years of research before you can do it in any sizeable amount. This is different from ammonia, that is just an equipment renovation away (so, a few years of investiment), but ammonia isn't useful as fertilizer.
Apple has 154,000 employees.

1) Let's say we rid Cook and add 1,400 more employees, we would arrive at an Apple with 155,399 employees and no Cook.

2) Let's say we rid 1,400 employees and get another Cook. We would arrive at an Apple with 152,601 employees including an additional Cook.

I would argue Apple in either 1) or 2) would have similar outcome for another decade. However 1) would likely support more families. I like 1).

This sounds like the US concept of a Certified Pre-Owned car (at least that's Ford's term for it).

All I could think of while I was reading that was how much fun it would be to build (from scratch) and set up a production line that makes pins.

I could see a CNC controlled pin manufacturing line as a cool engineering project for a college student as well.
