i dont know how to explain this to you but the only thing that blockchains replace are databases like mysql. if, for whatever reason you needed a security and a compliance officer, then you would still need them even if you switch to blockchains. if you needed to file reports using a centralized db, then you would still need them with blockchains.

the only difference between centralized databases and blockchains is the property of trustlessness. everything else can be done much more efficiently by normal databases. if you dont need trustlessness then you dont need blockchains

Things like BTC are even worse. BTC has two main sources of control:

1. The developers. Somebody has to develop the software, and no matter what, this ends up being a very select group. If you have multiple groups, that's still not a lot of people and they'll have to cooperate somehow, which will result in some sort of system you're not involved with.

2. The miners. They group up into pools, and there's not that many of them that are big enough to matter.

Those two groups are the ones truly in control, and they're unelected, unaccountable, and have their own interests and agendas. If you think the banks are bad, then using a system made of a cabal distributed among the globe is hardly better.

I suspect that there is a class of people who've long since mastered the art of being useless, and continue to enjoy the bounty that that brings. However they know this depends on the toil of others, and are reluctant to share that bounty. Hence the results focused 'meritocracy' that the rest of us have to put up with.

I used to be a big photography hobbyist and I'm slowly getting back into it. My interests were a) street photography b) portrait lighting / controlled lighting with remote strobes (a.k.a. strobist).

I've owned Canon EF gear for decades, and the 'most recent' which is now old, is a 6D, and my best lens is a 35mm 1.4L from the early 2000's which I love.

A few years ago I invested in Fuji gear, including the X100series and a XT-4 with two prime lenses.

A couple of points.

1. DSLR's have big sensors and lenses. The 6D with lenses like the 35 1.4 which I have, and the 85 1.2 which I rented, have INSANE bokeh and low light performance. I don't claim to have a science background, but it's pretty well established that a bigger sensor size (the 6D has a 35mm size sensor) and a large aperture contribute to low light performance - the bigger aperture because you have a faster lens (it needs less light/you get away with a [edit] faster shutter speed) and less noise (the larger sensor has less noise artifact happening). This gives you a fair amount of creative flexibility in your settings.

I thought about selling the 6D and the 35 but I'm having trouble 'letting go' even though I haven't used them in a while (and they are huge and heavy)

2. DLSR's have a hella lotta weight to them. When traveling, I used to travel with the 6D and a bunch of lenses (some I now sold including a 70-200 F4L with which I took pictures I'm proud of and want to keep forever). Well the stress of filling 30-50% of your luggage space with camera gear and nervously waiting your suitcase in the airport conveyor belt is one thing I don't miss, nor having to pick and choose which lenses on a hike.

3. Mirrorless has unlimited shutter speed, practically, since it's electronic. If you want to shoot against the sun, and turn your shutter speed so high that the world is dark, and you have controlled lighting with a probe, you can't do that with a 6D due to the slower shutter speed, since it's made up of physical curtains. This gets cool effects outdoors.

4. Mirrorless are obviously better street cameras, since they fit in your pocket / hand and aren't as visible. Once I got into a concert where no cameras were allowed, because the rule was, no cameras where the lens is removeable are allowed (that's only for paid pros in the concert).

5. Subjectively: I'm having a LOT of trouble steering myself away from the DSLR mindset, I'm finding myself reluctant to use the XT-4 for portrait type work. And I think I'm selling the X100F since I prefer 50 EFL instead of 35 EFL for the street.

I don't understand why this comment is here. It's a good thing to point out to people that don't know what he meant, but within his own framework he was incorrect, which he admitted. The social relations we see today are not the ones he originally predicted and there's absolutely no guarantee that it won't get "worse" or go in a completely different direction.
Oh i looked at a few models and indeed some have what looks like a viewfinder. If there's a lcd inside instead of a direct optical path I don't think it matters for my simple needs. As long as I don't have to hold the camera at arms length and still not see anything on that external lcd because of the sun...

The one mirrorless i played with didn't have the viewfinder so I assumed that's how they all are.

Looks like I just need to be careful what I buy. Thanks!

I am pretty sure Florida publishes all state employees names and salaries. I know for sure you can look at every University employees name and salary from the clerks to the professors with a few seconds of googling and assume the same is true for all the other state employees. This should be a federal requirement for all employers in my opinion.

Is it usual to disclose (what appears to me to be) a vulnerability with massive potential for exploitation towards disastrous ends, before the developers of the software have shipped a fix?

I guess I'm curious as to what the norms are around disclosure of such discovered vulnerabilities are in general.
> Eat plenty of low fat foods, and replace saturated fat with industrial seed oils."

How is saturated fat from "industrial" animal farms or "industrial" palm farms any worse than unsaturated fat from "industrial seed oils"?

>"Calcium builds strong bones! Therefore, you can never drink enough cow's milk."

The first part seems true, the second part seems like a strawman just so you can debunk it.

>"If you don't eat then you'll starve, your body will go into starvation mode, and your metabolism will crash!"

Again, first part seems objectively true (unless you can photosynthesize or something), the second part seems like a strawman.

>"Distilled water will weaken your bones and you won't get enough minerals! Never drink distilled water."

The first part seems to be true? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water#Health_effects. All else being equal, you'll get less minerals by drinking distilled water than without. You can certainly adjust/supplement your diet so it's not an issue, but that doesn't mean the effect isn't there. As for the second part, it seems to be either a strawman or a general advice taken out of context. I interpret it not as "not drinking distilled water ever" (like it's poisonous or something), but that there's no real reason to go out of your way to specifically buy distilled water to drink.

cameras are a dedicated tool for sampling visual data. they are very tightly designed to be good at that, and have been optimized to a nearly ideal form over the course of more than a century. cameras won't provide a decent ergonomic experience for anything else without significant change.

on the professional end, the camera will always remain strictly a sampling tool, and processing the sample is done with full attention, usually later. the level of detail and control that is already demanded by post-processing requires a complex interface, and often dedicated control surfaces. additional creative complexity will not be attempted at point of capture with worse control.

in every other use case, of course there is room for experimentation, but there is no reason to put that on the camera. every user is carrying a more powerful device with a bigger display and better touch surface in their pocket. the camera will remain an optimized sampling tool.
Yep that's a pretty fundamental accessibility failure.

There's a meaningful difference between casino-style gambling and investing in something like stocks or cryptocurrency.

Specifically, in a casino the odds are known and fixed in favor of the house. If I'm playing roulette at the casino and place $1000 on black, I have a less than 50% chance of winning (18/38) due to the two green spaces on the wheel. Over a long enough period of gambling the house will win and I will lose.

With stocks or cryptocurrency, things are very different. The odds are not known in advance, nor are they controlled by a specific organization. You can have a situation, particularly with stocks, where value is actually created and there is a net increase in wealth - this is not possible in traditional gambling, which is explicitly zero-sum.
Postel's Law as a Profunctor
Client side header bidding requires an HTTP request / response for each bidder, followed by an HTTP request to the primary ad server (very often, Google Ad Manager), that usually runs its own ad selection process (against lime items from direct sales, and programmatic demand sources such as Google Ad Exchange). Server side header bidding offsets the call to each bidder to the server side and it somewhat improves latency, but it still takes some time to complete the auction, and there's still need for an extra HTTP request / response to the header bidding server.

This is an interesting article, but it unaccountably fails to say what an fexpr is. As fexprs are not present in either Common Lisp or Scheme, only aficionados of the history of Lisp will know. Here is the definition from the Wikipedia article:

> A fexpr is a function whose operands are passed to it without being evaluated. When a fexpr is called, only the body of the fexpr is evaluated; no other evaluations take place except when explicitly initiated by the fexpr.

To me the core point of the article is that things in theory could be safe, but in practice aren't. Vents might not be used, vents might not be set up correctly, the furnace is leaking or not properly venting. As the article points out, this seems to be the norm rather than the exception. The article doesn't purpose any policy changes. Not everything needs to go straight to politics.

What are the consequences of this? Is there vicious infighting, and sniping over raises? Uh, no. There is just simple compensation, and way less negotiation. When some job class needs a salary adjustment because the job market has changed, everyone benefits. It’s pretty great.

Another article which mention both FTP and Dropbox. The infamous top comment on the Dropbox HN launch back is what led me down the rabbit hole of building a Dropbox like UI for FTP: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

FTP is amazing on so many perspective. About a month ago, I crawled the entire IPv4 range looking for anonymous FTP and found about 200k of them. As I wanted to publish the results and provide a way to get through those servers, I ended up building crawlers but quickly stopped as the sheer amount of movies, series, music I found would have been more problems than it's worth.
Is this actually sorting? It sounds more like a one-to-one mapping function.

In Lisp, you would use mapcar or a related map* function to do this.

Sending the kids in to search for their own balloons sounds like a (poor) sorting algorithm. But having pairs right from the get-go sounds like consing.

Ask HN: What if a new generation of developers is right about Web3?
Imagine as a thought experiment that they're not very good at articulating what the intuitively feel to be right about web3. When they talk about decentralization it much less about technology than routing around the central locus of control that serve as gatekeepers to keep people down.

Perhaps the really big idea is that lower middle, working class and poor people have access to the financial system that they never had before, and access to business formation that does not have to satisfy the gatekeepers.

In this new world the large corporations, banks, brokerage firms and financial institutions most supremely symbolized by Wall Street and The City in London will suffer a declining influence as security guards watching and controlling access to the immense wealth of the very rich. This could explain why the ultra rich like Bill Gates, Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffet hate bitcoin.

Put in a historical context, before the printing press people were ignorant. After the printing press, the common folk had access to books and learned to read, democratizing both information and religion. People no longer had to have a priest to read the Bible to them. This knowledge explosion among the ordinary people fueled the industrial revolution.

Before the internet it was difficult to publish your writings. You had to write a letter to the editor, print pamphlets and hand them out, or if you were lucky get someone to publish you. After the internet everyone could publish to the whole world. People began to teach each other. What people learned was that the money system was rigged against them.

web3 is an attempt to decentralize and democratize finance and business.

When I think about my working class father, who had plenty of great ideas, I remember how he had to go to a stuffy bank hat in hand to try to get a personal loan. This was difficult and mostly did not work.

When I think about myself, I was able to participate in the stock market through an IRA, but I had to deal with a broker and buy in lots of 100 usually and pay a fee. I had to park money and couldn't do anything with it.

Now anyone can download an app and buy fractional shares and then trade them like money. A digital coin is essentially a hybrid between a stock and money. DAO's circumvent normal corporations. And so on.

My experience seems to be a bit different, apparently. I see a lot of interesting content hosted there. HN is my only entry point to Medium, so for me that site ist just a blog hoster, like blogspot.com is. But I do dislike the latter somehow, as well as Wordpress.

For me Medium seems to be the only acceptable blogging platform, but neither do I use it myself as I don't blog, nor do I visit any non-tech/-science content on that site.

But I do use a very strict setting in uBlock Origin, so maybe that's causing the site "to behave". And I only visit it on the desktop.

Isn't the end goal of title/recognition using that to get an even better job later, and presumably the compensation that comes along with it? At the end of the day, being Principal vs. Senior doesn't pay your mortgage off faster, get you a nicer car, or put your kids in a better school. Once we reach a certain point I think it obviously becomes more important - if you live in a LCOL area, making $300k TC as a Principal vs. $350k TC as a Senior, I'd probably go Principal too. But if you're still trying to set your life up, fund your retirement, finish off that 529 for your kids, etc., it seems short sighted to go after anything except a higher TC.
He did in fact have lots of qualms. The history of the various Communist Internationals are all about left/right wing conflict within the party.
