> Every juicy problem has three layers. It starts with a practical need, turns into an emotional desire, and is topped with a captivating narrative.

Stopped reading there. Reads like an article from a magazine. It started that way too but I decided to give it a chance.

This sort of thing should have its own genre called "Random profound junk for dummies", though I am not married to the name. I am sure there is a single word that means the exact same thing
Of those I would consider Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp and Autolisp as Lisp dialects. They also seem to signal that in their name. The other languages are new, derived and possibly closely related to Lisp. Other languages in that category: LOGO, ML, Dylan, JavaScript, Julia, R, ... That's a larger Lisp family of related, but not compatible languages. Many of these languages were developed to improve Lisp: the syntax, functional programming, execution speed for numerics, simplified, mass market appeal, less dynamic, more dynamic, static typing, ...
That article clashes with many of Richard Stallman's claims. In particular, the article claims that the Series 2 TiVos allowed the user to run any modified kernel, but disabled the TiVo proprietary software. In contrast, Stallman has many public statements claiming explicitly that the TiVo devices would fail to boot or shut down immediately if a modified kernel was detected:

> For instance, the Tivo itself is the prototype of tivoisation. The Tivo contains a small GNU/Linux operating system, thus, several programs under the GNU GPL. And, as far as I know, the Tivo company does obey GPL version 2. They provide the users with source code and the users can then modify it and compile it and then install it in the Tivo. That's where the trouble begins because the Tivo will not run modified versions, the Tivo contains hardware designed to detect that the software has been changed and shuts down. So, regardless of the details of your modification, your modified version will not run in your Tivo. [emphasis mine]

> One major danger that GPLv3 will block is tivoization. Tivoization means computers (called “appliances”) contain GPL-covered software that you can't change, because the appliance shuts down if it detects modified software. The usual motive for tivoization is that the software has features the manufacturer thinks lots of people won't like. The manufacturers of these computers take advantage of the freedom that free software provides, but they don't let you do likewise.

Linus Torvalds, from many public statements about cryptographically signed kernels, shares this same view of what the GPLv2 allows:

> And it’s important to realize that signed kernels that you can’t run in
modified form under certain circumstances is not at all a bad idea in many
cases. For example, distributions signing the kernel modules (that are
distributed under the GPL) that _they_ have compiled, and having their
kernels either refuse to load them entirely (under a “secure policy”) or
marking the resulting kernel as “Tainted” (under a “less secure” policy)
is a GOOD THING.
The Wahls protocol is a scam. It is not a cure for MS.

Most folks with MS have RRMS - RR stands for relapsing remitting. Basically, you have a "flare" - when your body attacks your nerves. You have symptoms for a while, and then they start to go away. For context: I woke up one morning half blind. I could tell if there was a red object, but I couldn't make out what it was. Everything I could see out of my left eye was fuzzy. I couldn't make out the big "E" on the eye chart.

But then, the lesion heals. You might be left with some damage, but a lot of it goes away. My vision returned and the optic nerve healed well. My vision is actually better in that eye than the other one. I have lingering numbness in my hands from time to time, but nothing like the fingertip-to-elbow pins and needles from a flare (I barely notice).

All this means that a change in diet might seem to make your MS better. It definitely makes folks feel like they have control. But clinically, it does nothing. You are taking a big risk by doing this. What does work are modern DMTs - disease modifying treatments.
Ian Cooper talked about this (and more) 5 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM Well worth listening to this talk. It completely changed the way I did testing.
Author of the project here. I took very little time to write this joke, this obviously an oversight from me. I was working on my conda installation, so I didn't look further.

It is fixed now, it should be working.
The author exemplifies people in the digital field who are making it their life mission to criticize blockchain/crypto all day.

I invested a significant amount in bitcoin very early and am now retired thanks to that decision. My hunch was that it was the combination of interesting innovative tech and a vector for greed that would be unstoppable. I never talked about this publicly, very few people know. Crypto is not my identity. I honestly don’t care about whether it gets banned, disappears, or ends up replacing parts of our digital experience. I recognized from the beginning that it would be unstoppable, whether it was to be a net negative or positive contributor to humanity being completely irrelevant. You can’t stop an idea.

But since I’ve been watching this space from day 1, literally installing the bitcoin client the day Satoshi posted it here, I’ve noticed that people who criticize blockchain tech tend to be folks who could have made the same bet I did and didn’t. At the time I invested I worked in a tech company and some people were already going on and on all day about how bitcoin is a scam, etc.

These folks were aware of the tech very early, considered it a scam. And now they’re making this crypto bashing their identity. I think a lot of that drive comes from the frustration that despite the space having so many negative aspects, they missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They personally know people like me. And now the only way to make peace with that decision is to publicly bash it constantly, to revolt against it. This becomes who they are, as much as crypto bros make it their identity too.

I don’t see people from the general public criticizing blockchain/crypto with as much passion as them. It’s only people from the tech field who go on personal vendettas against that space. People who had the tools and the information to transform their lives and even leave that space since… and didn’t.

As much as people who promote blockchain constantly probably have a vested interest in it due to the money they’ve put in it, making their opinion less interesting, the same is true for people who bash blockchain constantly because their vested interest is to make peace with the fact that they didn’t put money in it when it was really early.
You know, fascism is a quite specific thing, not a slender word for dictatorship.

You are talking about the the "proletarian dictatorship" that supposedly is needed.

Holy shit
How many hours had it been between them making that change and you updating the URL again, though? If linking to just the PDF v. a homepage with the PDF + presentation + code would affect the resulting discussion, it's probably fair to say that the resulting discussion has already been affected (this particular conversation notwithstanding), no?

Even that aside, if the authors care so much about what people see first that they actively set a particular URL to redirect to their preference (EDIT: and have explicitly stated that preference in these comments, assuming "apavlo" is Andy Pavlo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29939332), should that preference not be respected?
Author of the project here. I fixed the issue.

But I think it unintentionally not working first time is speaking for itself.
That's very different from my experience. In the 90s I interviewed for a top research labs organization (Bell) and for the highest flying tech company (Sun) and both interviews were very casual chats about interest and goals. Got offers from both, accepted both.
This is false. You can google what people said about internet in early days. Robert Metcalfe (the inventor of Ethernet) said: "I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse"
So people really didn't see potential in early days of internet, except small minority of people.
We see same happening now with Bitcoin and blockchain. In 30y someone will point into some (now small) project and say "people saw potential very early, just look at projectX which demonstrated that potential quite clearly".
That’s not how it happened. Crypto is seeing a lot of technical advances. At the same time, people find different ways to build on top of it.
You can’t become a billionaire living on a desert island by yourself. You need a high-functioning civilization for innovation and wealth creation. Those who contribute to wealth creation owe something to the civilization that enabled them to do so. We can debate exactly what they owe, but it is clear they owe something.
That's basically an invalid locale prefix. Since ns is an invalid locale code or has no translations, it uses the default english. Reddit also used np.reddit.com which stood for non-participation. Basically there was subreddit CSS that disabled the voting buttons and comment dialog.
It might depend on the amount.

Wise might not had the liquidity in your currency pair, and you had to wait for a transaction to happen in the reverse direction.

Exactly. So instead of the first example I'd have the following in some .org file, where C-c C-c on the bash block generates the result block:

Neither do consensus protocols not based on proof of work. How many times do people have to comment that bitcoin is not the only crypto?
> Pipe bombs are not common. I'm sure you know that.

Good, but no, if you are insisting on a standard of evidence so high that you are not willing to accept that the evidence points towards the obvious conclusion, then I must use a standard of evidence that says that actually no I don’t know how common pipe bombs are in DC.

I mean, seriously I don’t know that — Literally everything about the second amendment looks that mad from outside for USA. This is in fact why I bothered to ask and didn’t dismiss the idea inside my own head.

> Accusing people of an act like planting pipe bombs with no evidence is not going to lower the temperature.

Evidence isn’t ever absolute. If I put two coins in a bag one of which is fair and the other one is biased 99% heads, I draw out a coin at random, flip it and get tales, I can be fairly sure it’s the fair coin even though I don’t know for certain.

We know someone planted them because they were found, and we saw a person putting at least one of them in place on camera. Coins from a bag, which do you think it might be?

And “lower the temperature”? Guess who is being blamed for that in all the press that I, a foreigner not living in the USA, get to see?

Hint: lots of them have already been convicted.
What whatsapp vuln are they using to take over the victims account?
I hate to break it you but an old 50s era stove works exactly as the GP describes - there certainly wasn’t low cost high power solid state power conversion circuitry in those days - the mechanism is extremely simple, an adjustable bimetal thermostat that can turn the element full on and off with adjustable duty cycle - and that modulation frequency is over seconds. Any smoothing of this mechanism is inherent in the thermal capacity of the heating element.

And this is modulation of current - think of it as a very slow PWM.
Auditable in the sense that the code is there to read, but the percentage of people able and willing to do so is quite low.

I only use Chatbots to ask for a human because there's usually no other way to do it. They're like the new IE for me, only used to download other browsers.
That was back when hardware was changing to a significant degree, though. Nowadays, there ain't really much that's new about hardware today v. hardware from 10 or 20 years ago - hence operating systems / filesystems being able to remain mostly stable instead of suffering from the exact same problem.
Extra-ordinary claims require extra-ordinary evidence. You have provided none.

Where's the reputable source that can back up your claims with more than just an outlandishly superficial and biased interpretation of a single figure?

> extremely revealing macro-economic statistic, as evidence of the rise of social democracy

No, it just isn't. If it was true, you wouldn't have any problem at all providing a reputable source agreeing with your claim. But you clearly do.

> Any think tank worth its salt is pro-free-market. Non-free-market think tanks are ideologically-motivated crank organizations, and usually on the payroll of the direct beneficiaries of social democracy - public sector unions.

That's not based in reality whatsoever.
Nope. They do not contain the key element - vitamin B1 which is also called thiamine. Instead, they do contain large doses of caffeine which is known to abruptly inhibit thiamine absorption in the body leading to mitochondrial ETC inhibition when a person has deficit.

Then comes sugar - those drinks contain too much of it causing the unneeded insulin spikes. Sugar free variants are even worse - they (esp. aspartame) cause the insulin spikes as well but lead to insulin resistance progression much faster [1]. By the way, Insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia are hallmark signs of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Yes, they do contain some 10-20 mg of B3 (nicotinamide) and that's it. Not enough for the treatment; other key elements are missing.

That's why people with CFS/ME condition do not feel better after energy drinks, usually they feel even worse.

The better trackers are invite only. If you are found to be selling invites your entire invite tree will be banned. You have to be recruited or personally know a member to get in.

Take for example PTP. It is one of the best movie trackers. It recently exceeded 250,000 unique titles available in many different formats. Netflix in contrast only has 15,000 unique titles and their library is shrinking not growing.
You realize all this web3 stuff runs on top of the internet right?

There are centralized CAs, domain/ip registrars, ISPs…shit even the libraries that comprise your entire computing stack all come from centralized databases!

USDC/Tether have private databases and their collateral is held by third parties in again their own database.

I saw a retro station icon on the home brew channel. Can you connect a 8bitdo/PlayStation/Xbox controller to the tv?
It's truly incredible that people still confidently proclaim that there is "no use case" today.

Because of the technical nature of the underlying tech, it's hard for the average individual to recognise how and why it's different. However, it's not possible to explain away the particular applications and their properties.

Here are 2 use cases which are live and working today:

-Taking a collaterised USD loan without permission or interference from a third party.

- Creating a public digital object which lives forever and can be exchangeable and extendable without a third party involved.

The immediate response from critics then is to question the validity of the use case. But that requires to admit that the use case is there.
is calling out oversimplifcation is also oversimplifying? i'm not arguing that there is no good reason to be sceptic, i'm calling out against forming a strong opinion strongly held on little understanding
I personally think that all those things won’t be solved by technology but by social measures like regulation.
No they don’t. They’re pretty green.
I was giving my own opinion so it by definition can’t be false. You also quote a single person and present that as general sentiment. Can you show definitively that was broadly shared?

You’re also not really addressing the factual point made which was that Internet adoption had the pre-requisite of home computer adoption. Whereas there doesn’t seem to be such a stumbling block for blockchain tech.
I would say the pre-requisites are just as high this time. Just very different.

At least you could buy a computer in the 90s.

In my country, you cannot buy crypto anywhere. You have to go through some shady KYC process of a foreign company. Me and almost none of my friends are willing to do that.

And the very few who do are not willing to sell crypto to the others "Uuhhh no, go make your own Coinbase account."

The banks are all "Yeah, we are working on it. We don't know yet when we will offer it. It will take time to figure out the legal and technical aspects.".
Thirst one…link? And still less efficient then Cryptofree technologie. Second thats how crypto works … thats not a use case cryptobro ;)
Lisp Badge (2021)
Intervention was only applied to people who did not recover by themselves. But almost all of them recovered after intervention which leads me to believe that we are onto something here.
I'm the same. I was a huge proponent for gas stoves, until I got a good induction one and wow. It's just as good when it comes to heat, with extra advantages like not throwing extra heat into my kitchen, things never burning onto the actual plate and it just generally being a much neater solution. But yeah the heat can easily match gas, it's great.

And I also agree that the touch controls are absolutely the worst, they are abysmal. I see why they are done this way - it allows the entire plate to be wiped clean very easily. But I still wish you could have separate controls somewhere on the side, with actual tactile knobs.

If you read carefully, the article meant that by accepting 'the hard truth' you have more chance to change. Of course one needs take it with +ve tone.

Quotes:

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

Paradoxically, accepting that you’re just not a confident person and you’re always going to feel a little off around other people will begin to make you feel more comfortable and less anxious around others.
well i guess it's simpler to live with fast and decisive conclusions to new information. personally i try to manage my prejudice and keep giving chances for someone or a new piece of information to change my mind, in case i have the wrong understanding

> If you bought your bitcoin with legit money

How easy is it to actually buy 5M USD of bitcoin? Assuming you have legit money?

And why would you move legit money out of the banking system? Assume you have 5M USD in bitcoin, can you sell it and deposit that in your bank without lots of money laundering questions that are hard to answer?

My two cents is that if you have legit money, you will want to keep in the banking system, and avoid risks of being accused of money laundering.
> avoiding risk is avoiding life.

True. A life well-lived requires courage. Courage in means risking trauma.

Yet if you don't distinguish between trauma and daily hard work, that sets you up to either:

A. Avoid hard work... possibly while fantasizing about overcoming trauma.

B. Create for yourself a life of trauma. This is not growth. It is just self-harm.

"real breakthrough would be a relativistic quantum theory that included gravity..."

Yeah, sometimes one has to be optimistic. I'm aware of the limitations of using non-relativistic QM but it seemed to me that this experimental connection, if confirmed, would encourage or even force relativistic work to center stage.

Essentially, both theoretical and experimental practitioners could now say 'we've now a concrete stating point'. On reflection, I wouldn't expect a full GR explanation to come easy. Still, it's a start.
This should be the last thought. People should be taught tolerance and be patient about ideas and thoughts that are against yours. The world is not black and white and this left and right thought process which is extremely binary is hurting us all in the long run.

Just look at how politicians went about things in the olden times. Even when they disagreed on things, they were far far better than just raging against each other like they are doing now!
my argument isn't that the GP's information is wrong per se, but that gross oversimplification through slapping labels like "scam" and "bullshit" against the merits of a technology is blind, just as blind as people who worship the blockchain.

my argument is for us to make our cases in an enlightened and civilised way instead of calling out names
