Glory and riches fairly rarely come to artists. Neither do MOMA exhibitions.

And as for the analysis, it's not woo-y. It's "simply" very cerebral art, with much less of a visceral impact. The downside of that kind of art is that it only makes sense in a much larger context, of both what the art world was thinking, and what the world at large was thinking, at the time you painted it. (So does representational art, but at least the first or second layer is immediately accessible)

Your picture's analysis will likely speak of the constant pressures of a pandemic and an inequal society, as well as a rampant, population-wide anti-intellectualism that at a very deep level was upset by artists getting lost in their mental landscape instead of being more direct and expressive.

Maybe you should make that art piece.
Action like that would freeze innovation at a time when we want to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible. All three of those systems use different voltages or designs that change power output and weight distribution. On top of that, each brand is incentivized to keep experimenting to improve the battery design for their specific use cases. Dewalt, for example, is making lawn mowers that use two of their 20v batteries in parallel so you can use the same batteries in your mower as you do in your drill. The Ryobi batteries haven't changed since they were first introduced so the old drill that you bought in 2014 is still usable with today's batteries.

I normally ride a bike on a smart trainer during the winter (when not riding outside), but am planning to buy a Concept2 Erg before next winter. It should be great for core and back strength, something cycling -- especially indoor cycling -- benefits greatly from but just doesn't do.

It's amazing to me just how (relatively) cheap the Concept2 is. Solid, well made, and reliable.

The whole point of 3d guns for many people is to avoid ever entering the court system, because by procuring all unregulated components and building it themselves, it's much more difficult for them to be caught.

Why is defining negative zero equal to positive zero confusing? Because -0 < 0? That's to ensure there's total ordering - if they're equal (but not "identical"), you need some definition on ordering them.

I can understand the confusion many have with NaN, but the idea is that it's not a number, so it's not equal to anything in a number-like type.

I am talking about a distribution network. Lets go back to that time in March 2020 when the US started realizing COVID was a real thing and everyone went into lockdown. Imagine the next time, where we are able to mass manufacture a vaccine pill within the matter 1-2 weeks. Having the USPS distribution system could be invaluable here. We certainly wouldn't be in our third year of COVID-related disruptions as we are now.

Even if Google is being genuine with this article, it's still a bad look. They've expended their social capital, they could speak pure truth and nobody would believe them. And not for no reason. People have good reasons to distrust them.

But having read the article, it references "these bills" without a single sentence from any of them. I'm supposed to take your word for it that all of "these bills" would harm me? There are absolutely no anti trust approaches that wouldn't be harmful to me?

Sounds like a load of scaremongering, a little "hurt national competitiveness and security" language as a thinly veiled message to legislators, and grasping at public perception to protect their asses.

If you want to convince anyone, quote the lines in the bills and lay out how they would affect the public. People see through your bullshit and nobody is buying it.

A well written paper. Glad to see you included females with autism. Typically research papers under-represent or ignore females with autism, which is plain wrong.

Stuxnet and the likes.
> Because they’re open ledgers.

As I explained in another comment in the same thread, it's a far cry from ensuring interoperability. The term "open ledger" is also misguiding since it's just an open ledger of whatever you want to put there, it doesn't necessarily reflect even a representative part of a whole system that would provide some kind of financial service.

As another commenter explained regarding video ownership, there's also no incentive to move any old and non-interoperable system there to begin with.
I was curious how this method avoided the wall you will hit on scanning. Answer appears to be that it doesn't?
I dont agree with Google or Apple. But I also dont think regulation or Anti-Tech bill is the answer.

But both Google and Apple seems to be blindsided as why the world have turned against them. Not surprised given how they think of themselves as so righteous. Which is also why this piece doesn't actually address any of the underlying issue, and instead writing what is like propaganda.

May be Self-reflection really is a rare thing.

It’s more or less undeniable that if you cracked down on Google, their end users would be negatively affected, yes.

The question is whether or not better companies would be born and ultimately provide even greater services to the same set of customers.

That - is what is obviously harder to prove.

Personally I think the answer is to simply say that after a certain reach per industry a company must provide “access” to platforms or pay a percentage of revenue to nurture the smallest competitors.

I've been in a similar position recently - uncle died from a quite sudden bout of MND, we were close.

When I found out I didn't cry, nor did I really feel anything. Just the absence of feeling. Oddly enough, when my cousin called to tell me, I hung up, told my partner (who was very sad), then I went outside and fixed the broken clothesline out back. My uncle was a very handy man, and I figured fixing something was a good homage to him.

I felt weird and guilty about not really having any emotions, but I genuinely didn't feel sad or really any different.

Then my family did a little memorial thing over Zoom (our country was in a hard lockdown). We each shared a bit about my uncle, and.... I fucking lost it. I've never cried in front of my family like that before. And then as quick as it came on, it left. Now when I think about him I do feel sad and I miss him; I think my lack of feeling was a bit of a defence mechanism, and I needed an appropriate venue to let it out.

A gentle suggestion: Maybe you're not feeling anything because you're making yourself and your (lack of) feelings the centre of this. Grieving isn't about feeling bad, it's about honouring the person you lost and your relationship with them. The end goal isn't to cry or feel awful, that's not some pinnacle you reach or checkbox you get to tick as "GRIEVING: DONE".

I'd try talking to a psychologist about it, and just have a good chat. Talk about how you're frustrated that you're not feeling sad or grieving, and how that's making you feel guilty. Talk about why you feel like you SHOULD feel heavy emotions, because this person meant so much to you. Then focus on the person, on the impact they had on you, on the things you love about them and the things you think they loved about you. Move the conversation to being about the person you lost, not your lack of emotion - realise that this isn't about you, it's about the person you lost and your relationship with them, which is gone now.

I've tried em all, and google's results are just like slightly better but hardly enough to notice, and the only reason I use it is because it sometimes guesses what I want from the omnibar better... if I'm revisiting doc sites, etc...

You can use whatever force you want to respond to piracy on the open sea, including killing the pirates. But that hasn't been done even when we had a lot of complaints about active piracy.

Cloudflare uses a heuristic trust model where it pulls multiple trust signals from the client. It can use several things (including stable IP address, cookies, and I think even a bit of JavaScript grabbing a nonce from local storage).

If you run with a lot of "identity fuzzers" (browsing through Tor, JavaScript off, cookies banned), Cloudflare can't build its trust heuristics and needs to challenge-response more often. I suspect there's overlap between HN readers and use of those sorts of tools, so I think there is a disproportionate number of people around here who run into this issue (whereas most "regular" folk almost never see a Cloudflare challenge / response).
>I think art should have to pass a test: If you saw it in an alleyway, would you think it was art or trash?

It would only be fair to force traditional art to pass a similar test - if you saw it being sold by a street painter, would you think it was art or kitsch?

I think other replies to your comment have already pointed out the biggest flaw in this argument - the experience of art leans heavily on things outside the artwork. The Mona Lisa might be sublime, but copies of it are essentially worthless, no matter if they required the same level of technical talent.

Lots of people feel that art is decided by aesthetics, but not in a logically consistent way. Art is purely aesthetic, until they consider forgeries or copies. Art is decided by realism, except that some of the most popular and well-known art in the modern world comes from post-realist movements like cubism or surrealism (which have become mainstream despite setting out to challenge conservative views of aesthetics). Art is decided by technical skill, except that the technical skills responsible for classical artworks have never been more prolific than they are right now (as evidenced by the number of street hawkers), yet classically-styled artworks don't really interest people anymore.

> Personally, I'm convinced the technologies in this ecosystem (CRDTs, etc) are really powerful and can do more to decentralize software than many web3 technologies that currently receive much of the hype.

100% agree! Web3 is really only tackling monetary instruments, which is interesting but very narrow. The majority of apps people need don't require global consensus, and it's too slow and expensive anyway. Yet, there's so much interesting stuff that can be decentralized/federated.

> Matrix takes care of a lot of stuff: Authentication, E2EE, federation, hosting, etc. - so I can focus on the client.

If said automation works like most corporate initiatives I've been a part of, it'll require 5 employees to implement, update, and maintain for every 1 that it saves, meanwhile costing millions of dollars per year to some vendor for a support license. Some workers might be let go but they were on the chopping block anyway. A few years later the whole thing is scrapped and the cycle starts over again.

Letters from abroad? Not in the last decade.
