> If the music is on the blockchain, and the uploader didn't own the rights to distribute the music, isn't every blockchain host commiting copywriter infringement by distributing the music to anyone that reads the blockchain?

Typically what you will find in these scenarios is that front ends hosted in jurisdictions that recognize intellectual property rights will de-list those NFTs upon request. And file providers on Filecoin or Arweave (in said jurisdictions) will unpin them from their hosting services.

However, there's no guarantee that given an IPFS hash that a user couldn't find some pinning service to locate the file (just as a determined user could easily find a torrent for a particular MP3). These are agnostic protocols just like HTTP or SMTP.

> Don't you still have the ability to listen to the cd post sale because you can always load up an older version of the blockchain where you did own it?

The MP3 itself would not be stored on the Ethereum blockchain, as it would be prohibitively expensive to store a multi-megabyte file on there. It would be stored on a separate storage layer, such as Filecoin or Arweave (or even a centralized server). A hash of that file is what would be stored on the Ethereum chain (an IPFS hash).
Partially agree. Extreme regulation also prevents incumbents from overthrowing big fat Big Tech like monopolies. Extreme regulation hurts small businesses disproportionately. That said, without regulation, you're right - it can eat the world.
"If a 13 year old can figure out port forwarding and DNS I’m fairly certain you can."

Go ahead and take a poll of people who would want to do that, even after understanding it's 'relatively easy'.

I'm in tech and the thought of having to maintain my own infra makes me recoil.

You can build your own house, fix your own car, do your own plumbing, run your own servers if you want, but if you do, it's most likely for some niche reason, not because it's convenient and most people probably just don't want to go with this approach.

> Links won't get rich previews.

as a counterpoint, iMessage messes up links sometimes, I had to turn it off because it breaks some types of links that I sometimes have to exchange with my coworkers. SMS is plain text, so the link is preserved as-is

Edit: those are links generated using Firebase Dynamic Links service. When sent over Twilio (vanilla SMS) they work but when forwarded from iPhone to iPhone they will break unless you turn off iMessage.

One way is to verify them. Run multiple variations on data from the 1950's and see how they compare to measured values up to today. Throw away the models that don't fit the measured values. Then you have some confidence that the remaining variations may be representative when run into the future.

This is also done in weather forecasting, though maybe they run the model in reverse, I can't recall. Same idea though, verify with existing data before predicting.
Have you ever heard of threat analysis? If someone was already doing something, it may be too late. I assume you use a password even though your sensitive accounts may have never been hacked.

>nothing else.

Come on. There are people in this very thread who are using it to evade draconian currency controls their governments have imposed. Are they lying?

Whether the positives outweigh the negatives in Crypto is subject to debate. But to refuse to acknowledge that ANY positives exist is outright bizarre.

There are lots of things I strongly dislike (eg: religion, guns) but to insist that there are absolutely zero positive aspects to these things in certain contexts would be intellectually dishonest.
Nursing's a 2-4 year degree. Doctors take substantially more, and training both requires docs/nurses as professors and clinical instructors. I'm quite dubious that chucking money at the problem would've solved the staffing issue effectively.
Chaos is also different at different scales. At certain point chaos can be simulated as noise with a known distribution. You can’t make predictions within the noise, but you can describe the shape of the noise and it’s impact on macro scale systems.

Perfect example of this is quantum effects. Zoom in far enough and quantum effects make the world entirely unpredictable, and yet I can still accurately predict where I throw is going to land with no knowledge of quantum effects. That doesn’t mean those effects don’t influence the ball, it just that noisy chaos of those influences is tightly bound enough that it doesn’t matter. Newtonian physics is enough to make a prediction, despite being an incomplete description of the physical system at play.
> COVID is not dangerous to students. Look up the number of deaths of people under the age of 18 due to COVID.

“Does not cause much near-term mortality from acute disease” and “is not dangerous” are...not the same thing.
Huh you’re 100% wrong because in the part of Asia I live the opposite is true. What country are you referring to? Maybe that’s true only in South Korea and China where local brands have a healthy share.
This is an argument for maintainers to routinely change any unspecified behavior that doesn't cost (much) more to do it the new way, on each release. In a hash, tweak the hash function.

Downstream dependents breaking because they depend on undocumented behavior is their fault, not your fault. The sooner they break, the less it costs.

Sorry, I'm not buying that. But that notion might be one reason why government projects cost so much.

I've taken apart cars many times. I know when I'm being fed a baloney sandwich when taking my car in for service, and use that to pare down the estimate sometimes as much as 50%.

(For all the women who rightly complain about being scammed by auto mechanics, I can vouch for them doing their best to scam me about 75% of the time.)
Oh right, I misinterpreted the xkcd plot. It's only the single (x)-marked dot in the top right of the graph, that is the Exxon prediction. Not the graph itself.
Your point that we can check prediction against reality is well taken, but honestly I think we got lucky. Knowing what we know, 50-year-old model shouldn't have been accurate. It didn't model aerosol, which we now know to be important. It's just that errors happened to cancel out.
Doesnt Aurora effectively have a PG bouncer in front?
Oh, wonderful.
Google taught me to hate Android by forcing an update to my phone even though I had WiFi and cellular data disabled. And after the update, I could not zoom a picture: it would crash the message/view picture app every time. And, their speech to text got worse, to the point it was practically unusable.

That's why I switched to iPhone. I didn't want to, because the phone (refurb on eBay) was 4x pricier than my Android phone, which was fine until Google made it unusable. Thanks Google!
Have you tried nspawn? Its part of systemd and integrates beautifully with the rest of systemd (for things like journald, networking, etc.) and is basically meant for what you requested.
What do you mean legalized? Was it not legal before?
This can be easily shown to be false. I can't tell you if it's going to rain next week in most cases, but I can easily tell you about how many days in a year it's going to rain over a large area. Same applies to how many floods we're going to have and bushfires. We've been doing that for a very long time now.
Perhaps in a future design the reaction wheel could be unloaded by solar rudder, reducing the need for maneuvering fuel (although station keeping fuel would still be required without an outright solar sail).

> should be able to tightly control what information people see

You don't say what you mean by this so I don't know how to respond. Some say the tech companies lean left, some say they lean right, but HN is not the place to discuss politics. I will say most of the posts and comments I see are aligned with the hacker's ethos of opposing censorship. Banning Rep. Greene for vaccine misinformation or former President Trump for inciting violence is not censorship.
There's no such time constraint.
For anyone into photography, an unrelated topic is that Amazon prime offers unlimited photo storage, you can upload all your RAWs as long as you keep your subscription.

The next generation of cameras should move away from SD cards. I can’t wait until you can stick NVMe on one, it’s a shame they don’t even make any emmc SD cards. Even the iPhone has had that for half a decade now.

Digital cameras really suck, they’re all horrible proprietary hardware devices, basically expensive locked down computers with large sensors that attach to lens through proprietary mounts.
Sorry - by ‘try again’ I meant build a new one and launch it
I think you are the problem. Don't lie. Ever.
In practice, Debian and Ubuntu have fixed minimum system UIDs and GIDs
Not super related, but one interesting thing mentioned in the article is that the population will increase from 8 billion to 10 billion by 2050, "increasing global food demand by 50%." Why would a 25% increase in population cause a 50% increase in food demand?
Funny you should say that - I’m 38, and feel the same way. So much so, in fact, that I set up a Discord instance for my 13-year-old daughter to converse with her friend group.

It’s super nice because they can set up channels for only some subset of the everyone on the instance, and because I admin it, I can see everything that goes on there if there’s an issue. I don’t expect issues, but the fact that I’m the admin means that a lot of her friends’ parents who are otherwise relatively strict allow their kids to use it.
The tricky part of this argument is the use of the word "accurate". Since you are talking about a statistical model, it's worth keeping in mind that this word has a mathematical definition in that context. The output of the said models have an accuracy attribute presented for them. It's not a binary value of accurate/not-accurate, and what matters is how accurate and about what specific prediction. You can argue that the modeling process for designing the breaks of your car is also not 100% accurate, and it really doesn't need to be! It needs to be accurate enough about the break's relevant properties (stopping power, wear and tear, performance in wet wheather, etc.) This is not a scientific analogy to climate forecasting, I just used it to explain the core idea in more familiar terms.

The issue is that it's hard to get these across correctly to the general audience. It requires analytical thinking and patience and attention to details, which none are compatible with how today's media and social networks are incentivized and structured (short, catchy, flashy, clickbaity, infuriating, etc.)
> How long will it be breaking? (If at all, or of it is not already doing it).

All* of it's acceleration was given by the rocket at launch, it has been constantly "braking" since then as it's being pulled by earth's gravity, and it will reach L2 at same time it reaches a speed of 0.

* Not actually all in truth, since for margin of safety reason, the Ariane rocket purposefully imparted a lower than necessary speed, and the more precise thrusters on the JWST will be used to top it off with 3 different short burns (2 of which already happened), always staying just short of the required speed. The idea being that you want to make sure to be always missing a little bit of speed and readjust as needed, but never too much, as that is not recoverable, and the telescope would just drift away for ever.
I'm excited to look into this deeper.

Have you experimented with stemming for the full text search?

I've built (much simpler query DSLs) in nodejs & golang. Adding stemming and also boosting rare words (TF-IDF stands for “Term Frequency — Inverse Document Frequency”) helped my use-case for recalling favorite tweets

I see that the original JS version has TF-IDF - so perhaps your port does as well

It's an easy way to filter out black people. "Who isn’t a target demographic for the Apple iPhone. The answer to that question would be the lower income African American community. For households that make $149k or less, just 16% of African American households will choose to invest into an iPhone. On the other hand, 42% of those households will choose to own an Android phone."[1]

> "how do we get students the support they needed in 2020 while not creating a dangerous situation?"

Provide a pre-2020 schooling environment to them, opened up completely like normal with no masks, "social distancing", etc. Do it _immediately_.
It would work better than shooting from the hip and firing all the unvaccinated health professionals.

I believed the same things in the same order (anti, pro, too slow), but I'm not anti nuclear now. Let it try and compete. We'll get a better electricity supply either way. Yeah, letting it persist wastes time and money, but so what? Every other system we have in life has a lot of waste too.

I would be strongly antinuclear if the nuclear industry somehow manages to persuade politicians to shut down wind, solar, and battery technologies, though. But that's very unlikely.
It's unlikely that the Walgreens would have a better photo printer than a SC-P700 or SC-P900, they might be able to do larger format prints though.
Farming economics vary a ton from country to country. In the US there is widespread consolidation and larger farms can afford high tech machines. But in poor places where the labor is cheap it's often the case that farm plots are small and fragmented, and the economics of this type of automation don't really work. Not saying it can't, but the delivery model needs to be one where the farmer isn't bearing the cost of the machine.
Should I mail them I am currently suffering from Covid and I am no condition to think about all this.
Also just to clear it to you I do work in a very respected big company full time so it might be problem for me m if they sue me ?
No, it hasn't been approved because the dose they tested didn't produce enough of an immune response.
One of the most voiced benefits of the increased automation and efficiency through the industrial revolution (and the technological advancements today) was that we'll generate more value/goods/etc. with less human work, therefore everyone's prosperity will increase. For example, a farm that would require 20 people will require 5 with machines.

We did get the increase in production efficiency but that newly-generated value was never passed on to those who did the actual work (all the way from farmers and factory works to most white collar jobs). It was captured and collected by those at the top. So now, everyone's afraid of "losing their jobs to machines" and somewhat rightly so. Instead of building machines to do our bidding while we live like royalty, we still have insane amounts of poverty despite the world generating more products/food/value than ever before in human history, with people losing their jobs and getting nothing in return.
In the US unlimited is common, less so internationally. That’s why WhatsApp caught on.
Here is a paper detailing metal reaction wheels failure modes going into detail on how charge was built up and solar influence on this process: https://www.esmats.eu/esmatspapers/pastpapers/pdfs/2017/bial...

I cannot find primary source for JWST using ceramic bearings right now, but I know they are manufactured by Rockwell Collins Deutchland and have good track record: https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/forScientists/faqScientists.ht...

TELDIX (today owned by Rockwell Collins Deutchland) invented use of ceramic bearing in reaction wheels for spacecraft use in 1978: https://patents.google.com/patent/DE3027209A1/en

so it would make sense that JWST uses ceramic bearings. Other manufacturers (ITHACO) have switched to ceramic too.
Are you aware of anything like Swagger or SDL but for JSON RPC? I've been looking, but haven't come across anything that can generate documentation from code, or generate code from documentation, the way that you can with Swagger.

> Hasn't that date been continuously pushed back? Like the parent you replied to, I'll believe when I see it. And regardless, the mining infrastructure spun up because of the gold rush on Ethereum isn't going away at thia point. Those miners will just move to different chains.

It's been pushed a few times. Like any complex technical upgrade with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets on the line, it has to be taken very carefully and has to be tested very thoroughly against numerous vectors.

But there are live testnets of the Merge already, if you feel like testing it out: https://kintsugi.themerge.dev/ Please submit any bugs you find.

> And while proof of stake does partially minimize some of the environmental concerns, it introduces other problems that aren't great (like all of the power being systematically consolidated into the hands of early adopters and the wealthy)

Not here to get into PoW vs PoS debate. But its worth noting that Ethereum has hundreds of billions of dollars worth of non-native assets sitting on-chain. Many of these are protocols that didn't even exist 2 years ago. Anyone can create a whole new token on Ethereum that backs a new application and be their own early adopter.

For a more philosophical deep dive on PoW vs PoS, see Vitalik's writing on this: https://vitalik.ca/general/2020/11/06/pos2020.html
That's fair but the problem with such a deliberate lie is that I must view everything with suspicion when people say something that supports climate change. Pretty much the only way I can know something is mostly accurate is when there's a shiny leaflet in front of it 'for educators' that I can ignore.

And it's not just this problem, it's all problems where people need to be convinced 'for the greater good'. I truly worry that the rightful distrust that those 'white lies' are causing is doing irreparable harm. It's also quite fragile since it opens room for people to point out the misleading or even false information, and in those cases people have a nasty tendency to assume the opposite must therefore be true.
Chiming in with the rest. Most, maybe all, anti-vaxxers I've interacted with (friends, family, acquaintances) have provided reasons such as 1) the vaccine changes my dna, 2) micro-chips (by an Amazon SWE!), 3) the vaccine only affects people with weak will power (this one was new to me, though it was also laced with God-protects the worthy or something like that). Luckily most of these people eventually were persuaded or to some extent bullied into getting a vaccine. So no, I don't think most anti-vaxxers have well reasoned beliefs that they are holding strong to, though I'm sure some of those do exist.
Ada and many BASICs also permit using arbitrary ranges. Ada even takes it further, any range over a discrete type can work including characters and arbitrary enumerations.
Nope. There is an AWS blog post [0] from September 2021 about setting up pgbouncer in front of Aurora Postgres, and that blog post references the AWS RDS Proxy service [1], but Aurora doesn't have pgbouncer in front by default.

I had a spouse in public school administration (until she burned out during the pandemic) and a parent who is still a public school teacher, so I have a little extra empathy - these people are just people. Some of them have just started a new role and didn't get to learn the basics before plunging into a pandemic. Some of them were a couple years from retirement and had been hoping to coast without any big changes. Some of them are great. Some of them are miserable.

It's like any other collection of people, except maybe what's hard to remember if you're in tech is that in public bureaucracies there's no high pay, inherently "interesting problems," or prestige factor attracting the bright and ambitious; just job security and pensions attracting the risk averse and allowing anyone toxic who makes it in to remain.

The district my wife left had double digits percentage turnover in their senior administrative roles during the pandemic - that would be enough to keep most organizations from operating to their full potential.

Additionally, they really don't get to make their own decisions - not only is there a chain of command but there's a surprising number of things that have to wait for school board approval and quite a few sets of regulations to navigate. I've been in regulated tech like medical device, and my perception is that what the school admins deal with is a whole other level.

While agreeing with everyone that "raisin d'oatmeal" is genius, and while also agreeing that it's clear that the US has basically failed at running public schools, please don't claim the administrators are somehow the sole agents of this. Like many things in this country it's born of a complicated web of political power being wielded in both good and bad faith by people with varying opinions of what would be best across many decades and scales.
A better analogy would be HN greying comments that were posted from any device that wasn't manufactured by Apple.
The book Artemis proposes this also.
That's two if's right there. I don't even know if I could switch to a provider that uses nuclear energy even if I wanted to.
You'd need at least 3 wheels to orient the craft. I bet that 4 wheels would be able to survive the failure of one.
Yes, I get all of that, but they still missed an excellent PR opportunity. NASA really could have built some engagement showing images of the deployment process, even if the images wouldn't have direct scientific benefit. Good PR leads to improved funding which leads to more science.
I like it. It's consistent, well documented, and has matured to the point where the last time I remember it getting in my way was probably 8+ years ago.
