Pithy, but I’d actually argue the opposite. As someone who consumes quite a bit of science content on YouTube, it’s actually quite jarring to go back to traditional TV science shows. It feels a lot less information dense and more time-wasting.

An interesting example is when Veritasium, who normally does the usual YouTube science content, got some big budget funding for one video [1] and produced it in a style more like what you’d see on TV. It was striking how there was so much filler and dramatization to try to make it interesting, and the whole thing felt dumbed down compared to his usual content, for example [2], which is deeper and relatively information-dense.

And there are channels like PBS Spacetime which go far, far beyond anything I’ve ever seen in any media aimed at a general audience [3].

Could you explain the significance of karma for those of us who don't use Reddit?

I know HN has karma too, but besides perhaps a tiny amount of bragging rights, it doesn't signify much.

If almost instantly means 700 milliseconds on a regular monitor and 950 milliseconds on a 21:9 monitor, sure, instantly.
I still don't get it:

The original:

"It’s pretty much impossible to validate that you are meeting the terms of your contract re: security policy if you’re doing that. You almost certainly were if you were providing SOC services to a big telco."

That second sentence seems to be only interpretable as:

You almost certainly were meeting the terms of your contract re: security policy if you were providing SOC services to a big telco.

However it also says it's impossible to validate - so if it is impossible to validate that you were meeting the terms of your contract re: security policy, it must mean you weren't meeting the terms of your contract because such a contract will require validation.

But I guess I should let it go.
People will expend a lot of effort to optimise any metric that is seen as desirable by their social group. On Reddit, it's karma points.
I initially misinterpreted this.

After checking the link, it seems it is saying this event is a 1 in 1000 year event for this volcano, not for the world in general.

I guess it could be both, but they don't appear to be saying that.

MMS is just a SMS with the picture hosted on a proxy server. If you MITM the SMS, you can change the picture URL to another. I am not saying that's what happened; I am saying it could have happened, and rather easily as a prank, too.

Hit the nail on the head.

On Hacker News it's actually more significant because you unlock more powers the higher your karma like downvote

MMS for sending image needs to transfer more data, so that could be why the message with the image had a noticeable delay while SMS text messages arrived fast enough to have same time.

But also it could have just been sent very close to the next minute. For example it could have been sent 14:45:58 and delivered 14:46:03.

After Log4j, Open-Source Software Now a National Security Issue
My understanding of gravitational waves is that very large objects try to move. It's easier if the universe sees more or less of their particles than if they moved. So the universe sees more or less of their particles. Instead of creating a warp drive, do that. Find some cosmic structure big enough, and manipulate it until the universe sees more or less of it's particles in a way that you are now where you want to be. Very difficult to do, but it happens:

> After years of producing null results, improved detectors became operational in 2015. On 11 February 2016, the LIGO-Virgo collaborations announced the first observation of gravitational waves, from a signal (dubbed GW150914) detected at 09:50:45 GMT on 14 September 2015 of two black holes with masses of 29 and 36 solar masses merging about 1.3 billion light-years away. During the final fraction of a second of the merger, it released more than 50 times the power of all the stars in the observable universe combined. The signal increased in frequency from 35 to 250 Hz over 10 cycles (5 orbits) as it rose in strength for a period of 0.2 second. The mass of the new merged black hole was 62 solar masses. Energy equivalent to three solar masses was emitted as gravitational waves.

It all comes down to the exact nature of the content, which you admit to not be familiar with.

Do you genuinely believe that youtube should host videos attaching various involuntary physical traits to criminal behaviour?

It’s obviously not okay to say that “this guy is black, so he’s probably guilty”. But is it okay to say “this guy is jittery under stress, he’s probably guilty”? Why should it be okay to say one or the other? Both will result in equally harmful outcomes.

Not everyone is logical in this world. Karma is like dopamine inducer to many people. High karma might make somebody feel good. It is just like a game where reaching high score generally do nothing but you know that some people want little bit of satisfaction ..?
I actually meant to say that one of them was in USD, working remotely for a U.S company, and my current job is not Canada based. When talking remote, most companies end up with an approximation of whatever they hear U.S companies are doing, just with much less pay.

The recommendations on markup for citation sources has changed significantly over time. Originally they said something like <blockquote>… <cite>…</cite></blockquote>, then they changed it to <blockquote>… <footer><cite>…</cite></footer></blockquote>, now they seem to be saying <figure><blockquote>…</blockquote><figcaption><cite>…</cite></figcaption></figure> Similarly what should be included in the text inside a <cite> element has changed over time.

Frankly, since the cite element has no implicit ARIA role and is normal flow and phrasing content, it’s roughly just another spelling of <i>. Don’t worry too much about its nominal semantics, they’ll probably tweak them again before long.
This is the correct answer. Personal bankruptcy is the tool developed and refined for over a century to address exactly this problem.

To explain why I thought this was interesting: from what I read, a Tanomoshiko is (mostly "was") an informal mechanism for loans. If one person was in financial hardship, a group of several people would each contribute a small sum of money, thus curing the hardship. Instead of ordinary repayment, the group would now repeat the same act in a few weeks, but choosing another person in the group (perhaps at random) to receive the money. This would repeat until everyone had been payed.

There were and are taboos around loans in many societies (our own included). This seems like it's probably part of a broader family of methods for working around those taboos.

I came across this only from a side remark in Yukichi Fukuzawa's autobiography. I don't know of a good source (the wikipedia article is admittedly not great).
Probably fake, but as someone who implemented MMS systems years ago, MMS is just SMTP under the hood (with some extra stuff to make phone numbers work like email addresses)[0]. Since it's just stored as a message in a mailbox, it's entirely possible to get the wires crossed. Still, probably fake.

It is totally fine that an individual choose personal responsibility. The issue here is when individual choices of others are blamed as the sole cause of the problem.

> The only way to untangle it is to pick one guiding principle.

This is an arbitrary statement with no reasoning. It is both possible to expect individual responsibility and also to hold the system accountable.

The system and individual behaviors are intertwined. That's the nature of human reality. They are a feedback loop that affect and create each other. One does not exist without the other. It's like voting - you can vote all you want, but some changes will never happen without modifying the system, e.g. the first-past-the-post voting in the US killing any chance of 3rd party participation. You have to change the system to ranked-choice. There's no way around it.
Really doubt it's fake. A few years ago I got a random text from an acquaintance that said something out of context. I responded and she replied she had no clue what I was talking about.

After googling it turned out that there had been some kind of glitch where select text messages from almost a year prior were "sent again" by carriers. Affecting very few people, but apparently enough to make industry news and of course I had been effected. Sure enough it was a message I had previously received that (in context) made perfect sense.

So I believe that kind of stuff happens. Probably as simple as some backend data engineer running the wrong script.

There is nothing bad about choosing to to do some tasks. You have infinite things you can do and only finite time -> conclusion is that you will only do an infinitesimal amount of what could theoretically be done.

That makes it infinitely more important that you do the right thing, and so you should be ruthless when you make your choices.

Your examples of (2) and (3) have nothing to do with the desktop, really, or, rather, they are about things that one could see reflected in the desktop if only they were feasible at much lower layers.

"total size of subdirectories" is basically impossible as long as there are hardlinks. But hardlinks are useful, so. Even w/o hardlinks, if you have anything like ZFS snapshots and clones then you have multiple kinds of "total size" to show, like "total size" of all the files below vs. total space consumed by those files in this snapshot/clone. You could have hardlinks and all of them and then asynchronously update caches of sizes, but now you waste cycles on that and those cached sizes will often be wrong. You basically can't get there without making trade-offs that kinda suck. It's just better to not bother with this particular feature.

The average Coinbase retail investor is not going to use a DEX. In fact I would be surprised if over 50% of their users have ever transmitted coins away from Coinbase a single time. Sure the first users were obtaining BTC for productive purposes like buying from darknet markets, but the majority of their users have come during the investment booms. From their S1 they are holding $90 billion in cash and fiat. $44 billion of that is for institutions, but the rest is from retail investors who are buying what Coinbase makes available to them and letting it sit in the app while they wait for it to go up.

You do know that atmospheric carbon level estimation is completely orthogonal to carbon dating, yes?

Carbon dating is about matching radioactive carbon contents in organic matter to samples from trees or other known-age organic matter. As such, it has a limit of ~50,000 years ago.

Historic levels of atmospheric CO2 is mainly based on samples of gas trapped in ice sheets, or estimates based on carbon quantity in mineral sediments that would have absorbed atmospheric carbon in their formation. As such, estimates go back to the entire history of the Earth.

Especially for recent history, where we have bubbles of air from those times still trapped in Antarctic ice, I see this is a remarkably direct measurement, the very opposite of a "farcical amount of guesswork". If we're talking about 1 billion years ago, I start to agree with you a little more.
If MMS works like email, does something exist where you can go through all your MMS messages and view or delete them from the SMTP server they’re stored on?

Todo lists are the only way i can get things done. In school, I remember a physics prof freshman year going in depth in how to solve problems. We had this super complex pulley system, and the first step was to label all the things, then to write out each of the balances of forces, and so on, until you’d described the whole thing. This super overwhelming problem became just a lot of simple stuff once you broke it down enough.

It’s the same with anything. If a problem is overwhelming, breaking it into smaller pieces until it’s not overwhelming is the only fix for procrastination I’ve ever found. A.k.a. the todo list.

I recently read a story about a very senior engineer (in his 50s) who was denied a working VISA in some European country for not finishing a degree. As inane as it sounds, completing any sort of 4 year degree signals to employers that you are likely not dumb and/or undisciplined (not necessarily the converse).

I'm on the same boat as you, I have 12 yrs exp, operated as head of engineering but I'm tired of ticking "Some college" on applications and having that "uncomfortable" conversation. I want to have the option to go to graduate school or change careers down the line and those paths require at least a bachelor's degree. So I've enrolled in a degree-completion program in a non-CS (but stimulating) field that interests me.

> MMS is just a SMS with the picture hosted on a proxy server.

Are we sure about that? I don’t know much about the SMS and MMS protocols. And I remember when I had a phone that could only receive SMS, I’d get a link so I could view the message in the browser on a computer, so in that sense it is close to what you are describing. But from my limited understanding of SMS and MMS, I thought MMS is a distinct protocol.

Looking at something that Twilio writes about SMS vs MMS, they say [1]:

> MMS […] was built using the same technology as SMS to allow SMS users to send multimedia content.

and then

> Standard SMS messages are limited to 160 characters per message. If a message exceeds this limit, it is broken up into multiple segments of 160 characters each, depending on its length. Most carriers today automatically chain these messages together to ensure they arrive in the order they are sent. Unlike SMS, MMS messages do not have a standard limit. While their maximum size depends on the carrier and the device receiving the message, 300 KB is often mentioned as the largest size most carriers will reliably handle.

So MMS sounds like an extension of SMS, but a thing of its own.

I remember with another old phone I had, I’d be asked if I wanted to download the MMS messages I received. But not sure proxy server would be the word for it. To me, from my memory, proxy server seems to apply only when the device is not capable/not configured for receiving MMS.

That isn't how email works either. SMTP as a protocol is a series of relaying/delivering servers, but there isn't really any storage being done by this servers aside from as part of queuing. Messages aren't normally "stored" in SMTP except while they're in transit.

If they used a good hash it would be basically impossible. I'm thinking someone got sloppy and used a hash that wasn't so good, or used only part of a hash. (I've done the latter deliberately--folded the hash down to a 32-bit value accepting that a "hit" meant go to the disk and get the whole record to check. The occasional false positive cost less than the additional time spent reading the bigger hashes as I had millions that needed to be loaded into memory.)
The homepage mentions 30 MB of disk space, and even less RAM. Kudos indeed!
