> While this happens to be a great concern of mine, but I'd say it's a pretty different issue than the discussion of OAuth.

Well the problem is that OAuth providers will only give you your tokens if you go through impossibly complex websites

It's 100% the fault of websites - but websites allow themselves to get fat because browsers allow it, and because they allow it websites get even fatter. It's a codependent system. The medium makes the media etc...

I can only share your concern about having the monoculture we have in practice. Gemini is the best tool we have not only to escape this complexity, but hopefully put some sense into the mind of web designers.

> how many people live on the moon
> The Moon is the only celestial body in the Solar System that has been inhabited by humans since the first landing of Apollo 11 on 20 July 1969. The Moon has a surface area of about 220 km (133 sq mi) and a volume of about 1.7 km (0.9 mi). The Moon's surface is covered by a thin layer of ice, and the atmosphere is thin and thin.

> why is faster than light travel so easy
> In physics, the speed of light is the speed at which light travels through a vacuum. In a non-vacuum environment, light can travel faster than light, but only if the medium is non-relativistic. In this case, the medium would be a spherical object, such as a cube, a ball, or a particle. In the case of a photon, the photon would be traveling through scalar energy, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

I don't see why something like insurance needs a token on a decentralized blockchain. The Bitcoin blockchain needs a token because the token itself represents the value (BTC) inside the network. The token is also needed because it adds an incentive for nodes (miners) to support the network.

Note: this is my current view of it. If someday it turns out it is useful, I am happy to admit that I was wrong.

Scores of folks with MS never had mono. I'm one of those. It isn't mono that is the risk factor, but EBV itself.
What you’re referring to in #2 is called a KVM. Ones with more than two input PCs are kinda uncommon, but here’s the first one I saw on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/TESmart-DisplayPort-Switcher-Supports...

Regardless of the current iteration. Regardless of this specific tech capability and how it is currently used in this specific country I am asking myself how a society can protect itself against this.

If topics are manufactured and outrage is being artificially generated in that fashion classic media will probably jump onto the bandwagon because doing so will increase advertising clicks and views. It will increase revenue for said media outlets. Also social networks have every incentive to not quell these things as they drive engagement and with that advertising revenues. The same for video platforms. Basically (nearly) any ad driven revenue stream will want to participate.
Thos will be adding fuel to the fire and just increase the reach of the fabricated stories as well as the outrage and the accompanying division of societies.
Creating measures to effectively quell such things on the other hand will (nearly) inevitably create measures of mass censorship that once implemented will one day be abused because I have yet to see an example of humans not using any weapon/means to further their agenda.

So the question remains what societies, as well as everybody for themselves, can do to protect themselves against these forms of manipulations.

I have to admit that I do not have a good idea what could work. And what the side effects of doing something (as well as not doing something) could be.

We searched high and low for a stove with an induction top that used knobs and finally settled on a stove from Bertazzoni. Expensive but worth it for us.

IMHO touch controls are popular because they are cheap to make and offer a simple way to integrate the hob onto a counter. For a lot of people that is important. For us (my partner is blind) it is not.
Totally forgot the most obvious ones! I think "the" and "thing" are difficult to some degree for most non-English speakers. Actually, languages that have those both or something very close naturally are very rare. Only Icelandic comes to mind. And then peninsular Spanish, Galician, Albanian, Greek and many Arabic dialects have the "thing" at least.

Of all the approximates people use for "the", the soft Latin "d" is quite close to the original, compared to, say, the Franco-German "ze"! Even here in Finland, we are quite fluent in English as such but many completely disregard the difference brought by the "h" in both phonemes, and just aspirate the "t" like you would do without the "h" (and then pronounce the other t's softly without aspiration at all!).

It's all comprehensible as long as its regular, I guess. Still, as an elementary Spanish speaker, I still often get distracted by the Brazilian r's, since instead of "r", I hear the Spanish "jota" or otherwise something I would describe as in the range of h-like sounds, not r's.

Adoption of the Internet had serious pre-requisites in terms of the availability of computers in the general population so it’s not really surprising. One thing that was amazing about it was our ability to reuse existing networks to connect them all together.

We don't know how common lots of things are in 1st world countries either, simply because we don't track.

Eh, there are some important distinctions here. Pricing risk is an activity with fairly clear value, and as a result you can make a ton of money by being good at it. Assuming risk is something that every individual and organization does to one degree or another, and to the extent that they do so in a rational way it’s because they are pricing risk well or delegating that.

Your use of the word moral makes me think that you might be talking about shifting risk off onto others. Keeping the upside in some more favorable ratio to handing others the downside is (IMHO) immoral but also one of two main ways that people get rich, the other being inheritance.

The year is 2020. Covid tests are a scarce resource. The federal government places "big orders" (NPR) and distributes them according to its own calculation. 845 million tests are performed, free of charge.

A million of them are later found to have expired for lack of demand. The FDA redefines the shelf life.

The federal government orders a billion more at-home tests.

Using some kind of crypto as a more internal transfer and accounting unit seems like a fair use case. And then on/off ramps to traditional when needed.

I’m not Indian, I’ve never been there and I have like one Indian friend living in India in total, so I have no dog in the fight. But this kind of tribal warfare on HN does irk me, and I do often flag these stories as a result. Your meta comment not contributing much of anything other than slinging mud at the “devotees” faction is a good example of the kind of crap comments commonly seen under these stories, contributing to flagging by non-devotees.
I've never had a Mac so I don't know how specific they are when it comes to KVM implementations. Try to see if there is a reason why one would be called Mac compatible, e.g. https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/mac-kvm-switches.html
Yeah, lifting the pan is what I resort to, too. Like cooking on medieval fire. It‘s kinda ridiculous, given the granularity, precision and immediacy that electric heating, and especially induction, would allow for were it not for those dumb touch controls.
If those openal fixes went upstream this should be a really smooth sail.

Any idea if that is happening?
I have seen this too. My pet theory is that, at all times, the brain is busy doing gradient descent on all the problems you have ever encountered in your life. Everything is getting improved in parallel. So when you step away from the problem for months at a time and come back you are reaping the benefits of all that background computation.
the Walhs protocol is generally recognized as a scam. Diet does not cure MS. If it did, diet would be first line treatment as it would be much cheaper to simply pay for someone's food than the most effective MS treatments we have. Those treatments are solely responsible for the increase in an MS patient's quality of life (over time) because they actually prevent some damage. Some, not all - they are not a cure.

And FWIW: It isn't uncommon for someone with MS to use a wheelchair temporarily. OR a cane. I was half blind for 6 weeks, but that went away years ago. I spent time with numb hands, which has mostly (but not totally) gone away. If my legs had been affected - you guessed it, I might have used a wheelchair for a bit. All of this means that it can seem like a "cure" works when it is really just the way the disease course goes for lots of folks.
Good luck! I hope you succeed, it’s certainly a goal worth pursuing!
People hated Justin Bieber because he appealed to young girls, and tons of men automatically hate everything young girls like as some kind of twisted self defense of their masculinity.

The pseudo-anonymous nature of Bitcoin makes it easier to hide transactions. It’s for example why online games that let you cash money out (or have rampant RMT) have issues with money laundering and credit card fraud.

I've experienced the same thing, but always had to wonder: maybe you're on an underlying trajectory of improvement fueled by practice, which is not influenced by brief breaks.

However, after a break, you notice all the improvement that has accumulated during the break. By contrast, when you practice daily, the day to day changes are small and you don't notice them.
What are you basing your comparison of the two on I wonder?
Yeah. Manufacturers act like having wet or oily fingers was some kind of edge case in a kitchen.

In many circles, the Wahl's protocol (basically diet) is considered a scam. Diet does not cure MS. Governments and health insurances surely would rather pay for food every month than pay the costs of current medications.

On the other hand, medications have greatly improved quality of life for MS patients over the last 20 years or so. Folks diagnosed today aren't in the same dire boat as someone 30 years ago.

As long as there are single-member districts it's basically impossible for a third party to gain a large representation. I'm sure that's the main reason for the US and UK huge polarity in politics.

I quite like the German model:

> Every elector has two votes: a constituency vote (first vote) and a party list vote (second vote). Based solely on the first votes, 299 members are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. The second votes are used to produce a proportional number of seats for parties, first in the states, and then on the federal level.

Thank you!

A lot of scam diets promise to cure MS. Books are sold. But the only real way to lessen the harm of the disease is through a combination of a modern medicine and luck (I've had both).

Agree on the general healthy eating and activity, though.
It depends on what part of Argentina, Buenos Aires and Rioplatense accent use a strong rolled R, meanwhile in Cuyo region (center-western: Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis and La Rioja) it's pretty common a very different sound for the R, that's closer to an English 'sh' sound. I believe it is being lost though and younger people use the rolled R but not as strong as in Buenos Aires. There a lot more differences with the Rioplatense accent, like with the Y and LL. Accent from Mendoza and San Juan are much closer to Chile's than to Buenos Aires accent.
> If the answer to killing the ad funding business model was individuals pay directly it’s going to face a steep uphill

Indeed, we tried that and it failed, so we need something else.

Blockchain will probably fail because the narrative has been taken over by greed and NFTs.

But Web3 will fail because the tech world seemingly (as evidenced by the comments here) have no interest in solving the problems of Web2, rampant privacy violations, predatory business models and advertising. The answer to all these problems by HN is ”no one cares about privacy so it’s not worth solving”.
It depends on how you want to live your life I guess.

There are benefits from being 'disciplined' and correcting your flaws for sure.

But sometimes you just want to let go, not have your entire life be something you must do or must correct. You won't be good at everything and you will have certain bad habits and things about you and while it's good to try to improve and work on yourself, it's also bad to just live in a state where you are constantly trying to discipline yourself and improve because you are somehow not worthy of the one life you have to live and therefore have to spend it entirely trying to be someone else, someone better.

Same problem with Facebook login and many other commonly used libs. The default setup is always set to be as permissive as possible.
At some point we need to understand this is deliberate and fine the companies for not having GDPR complaint products (in default configuration)

Edit: to answer your question, a British privacy organisation tested this on mobile apps and found that almost all were using third party components with default configuration that would phone home.

This is btw why I closed my Spotify account. Not sure if they have fixed it now but back then it contacted Facebook regularly despite me not using Facebook login and turning off all analytics. Researcher found that this was due to premissive defaults.

Now if Spotify can't get it right, I don't think your average startup can either. Hence the problem should be fixed at the root.

You think you're mostly right. The one thing that bothers me is that you seem to be suggesting that because the current system is bad for most authors we should replace it a system that's bad for ALL authors (i.e. instead of introducing sensible limits or restricting the ability of corporate entities to hold copyright, or allowing authors to renegotiate their contracts based on the actual revenue earned you're basically suggesting removing it all together (the 20 year limit is simply infeasible due to the arguments from my previous comment)).
That implies your electricity usage is ~2.4 kWh/day. How do you get the low?

In the US, an idling desktop computer, an energy efficient refrigerator, and a fan for household air circulation would be enough to exceed that.

I just download usage details from my electric company for a bill from the middle of summer when my usage is lowest, which provides usage broken down by 15-minute intervals, and the lowest 15-minute interval I had was using electricity at a rate of 4.8 kWh/day.

(The highest was a rate of 193 kWh/day. Probably had a 15-minute interval where the water heater was on, at the same time as the electric clothes dryer, while I was cooking something using the electric oven/stove, and microwaving something, while the well pump was running, and the iMac was doing something CPU intensive, while the fridge happened to be running).
We are not in disagreement here. I was making a comparison in kind as a cheap rhetoric trick. Documentation is good, no documentation bad, good documentation can be better.

Slide along the scale towards more and better documentation and our perceptions might diverge. I don't think all the valuable know-how that goes in to fulfilling a specific role in a larger organization (and in particular the marginal knowledge, relations and skill that increases performance) can be captured in words. Even if it were, there is so much of it and it is full of subtle nuance and context sensitivity. On top of that each individual person takes to different parts of it in different ways. The things you can only learn by jumping in at the deep end. We all know, deep inside, that this is the stuff that matters and I see no reason to play charades and pretend we can know or see how even half of what we do really works. If we did, the world would be a very different place. Until then: tacit, implicit, context bound and relation contingent knowledge and skill will be the light that shines on our practice; and what we can put in to words, a mere shadow.

I gathered that both were at fault
To be fair, I am in Silicon Valley so that biases the numbers towards the higher end of the ranges. But I took a ~200K pay cut from my previous job to my current one because I went from a successful public company (not FAANG but similar pay) to a startup. Startups are a gamble for sure, maybe it's not worth anything. But the base salary is still good enough to pay all my bills, so that's good enough. I try to maximize happiness (I don't always succeed!), not income.
