When an MSC makes it through the process, it is added to the protocol, right?

Then all the servers and clients need to implement those MSCs or else they are not compliant with the protocol.

Either you're not compliant with the protocol (Matrix), or you're not compliant with a certain extension (XMPP).

I don't understand how these are different. Matrix has a lot of non-compliant servers and clients. XMPP has a lot of servers and clients that don't implement certain extensions.
Isn't this insistence what we teach kids though? We make them read and analyze novels even when they have little context to put those ideas into. You can read too deeply into everything, even when it isn't the author's intent.

On the other hand, some of the things in popular culture are what teach us about what the world is like. For example, I would wager that more people are taught what guns are like by video games and movies, than the actual physical objects themselves. This means that there is some purpose to analysing popular products from a variety of angles. It might teach us new things about the world. We probably do it from the same few (political) angles too often though.
This attitude reminds me of the people following Timothy Leary, that Hunter S. Thompson alludes to in his writing. The "grim, meat-hook realities" will always be lying in wait for us, once the acid wears off.
this looks very good, but I'm I being daft?

Ask HN: How do I get in touch with US/EU developers? (attempting to network)
Is there such a thing as a social media for developers? A little about me, I'm from Madagascar. After learning English, I am now learning how to program, with the help of various free online courses from top US/EU universities, and a specialization in web development. I'd like to get in touch with developers, from US or EU as I'd like to get a remote job there and maybe in the long run move out. Most devs here work for so called "freelance companies" that takes care of teaching and finding contract for them, but in the end keeps all the money, while the devs gets just a little above minimum wages to keep them happy. If you didn't know already, my country is really really really poor (yes that poor). If someone is looking for a mentee also, I would love to have someone more experienced guide me through this journey. Kind of a long shot, I know, but lady luck favors the one who tries. If you have any questions, we can have a chat.
because across 250 years of extreme and rapid industrial progress, wages have gone nowhere but up, across all quintiles.
> But Ben, US equities have intrinsic value unlike this BTC garbage! Well unless they pay no dividend, have dual-class share structure, and IPO without a profitable quarter. What’s a share of SNAP entitle you to exactly? Ah right, you think someone will buy it for more.

Folks always levied these criticisms about Apple. So long as the company is growing and can do better re-investing the capital in itself, it should do so. Companies intentionally avoid creating profits to avoid paying taxes, electing instead to re-invest that capital tax-free. The idea of going public without a "profitable quarter" is meaningless if they could just be profitable at will.

Apple has paid over $1B in dividends to Warren Buffet alone since he took his stake, and returned just around $100B to investors last year between $85B in buybacks and $15B in dividends.

Buying shares you are paying for a combination of the present intrinsic value and your estimation of its future assets and cash flows. That doesn't mean your appraisal of these future outcomes are correct, and that's the risk.

But equities are fractional ownership stake in businesses whose value increases through non-investor participants. You know, customers? That's the difference between a positive-sum game and a zero-sum game like futures and options, or a negative-sum game like crypto assets. With especially proof of work crypto assets, value is constantly being removed by external participants, rather than added.

Yes traditional assets are mired in garbage behavior, but that doesn't mean that crypto is better - far from it. Decentralization makes it borderline impossible to control the behavior of bad actors while providing essentially zero material value to anyone beyond a few edge cases. And as usual, folks mention there will be some crypto folks who create value left behind after some wash-out. 14 years later, zero value created. It is true that not all equities are good investments (of course), in the fullness of time, zero crypto token investments as we see today will ever be good investments.
Good correction. The Keynes essay I am thinking of is from the 1930s, which is almost 100 years ago now! It was probably inspired from Russell's thoughts.
>You force corporations to pay, to not be able to avoid taxes

Economic maxim: "Corporations don't pay taxes, people pay taxes". This means when you think corporation tax is somehow free, you ignore that comes directly from stock prices and wages, i.e., direct income and pensions.

>you get to decide

Historical evidence shows that directed tax cuts and targets are much better multipliers of using tax revenues. Your method has been demonstrated to costing more for the same public outcomes, which is why there are so many directed tax cuts and directed tax spends. They are simply more efficient.

Simply put forth an estimate of what you think various groups need to pay to get what you think people will get with UBI. Once you try to put actual numbers to things, you soon realize it's simply not possible without damaging a lot of vulnerable people.

>We can supply everything 90%+ of what people need through automation

No, we cannot. Unless people take a drastic quality of life cut, and even then, we cannot.
CI should only have environment variables needed for testing. For building/deploying to production, it just has to push the code/package/container image, not run it, meaning it has no need for production-level credentials.

CI should never ever have access to anything related to production; not just for security but also to prevent potentially bad code being run in tests from trashing production data.
While I appreciate the amount of work that went into this article, there are at least 50-100 potential current "news" stories in the crypto space at any given time. It's easy to find one that correlates with price movements after the fact, but more or less impossible to do so with forward testing. Virtually no successful crypto trading firms are using real time news data as a centerpiece of their trading, because news has almost no impact (contrary to popular belief and the assertions of this article), especially compared to equities. Elon Musk's tweets, which ostensibly should matter least for fundamental value, are probably the biggest drivers of capital, albeit only in the short term. See [0].

And then the part about "suspicious" orders on the book before the liquidation cascade. Come on. Amateur crypto traders are reinventing religion, where mysterious unknown "whales" are the gods, pulling all the strings.

> GMail in particular is known to be aggressively negative towards email originating from anywhere other than another GMail account.

This just isn't correct. Gmail does indeed have a HUGE market share at around 20-30% depending on source but with every business using mail for notification and business communication you will note that an even smaller minority of mail comes from other gmail accounts. If Gmail actually worked like that it would have ceased to work entirely and lost most of its users. If I understand correctly the actual issue is all the major players vs very small players like people running their own server.

In that scenario the users whether it be on yahoo, google, msn what have you get 99.999% of their intended email while the person running their own email server will have a much larger miss rate a bigger problem and one that can't be solved on the client side at all.

From the perspective of the end user who is neither aware nor concerned about small servers issues server side filtering works very well. Looking at my spam folder it seems to be filled not with nigerian scams which don't even make it to my spam folder but with emails from people who have send me emails which have some degree of legitimacy but which I have repeatedly deleted unread like political emails requesting contributions. From my perspective it works great.
You may be right but it's too bad then: they have a platform and an eager audience and are wasting an opportunity to depict a mature and healthy relationship in comics.
I think the CCP strategy against the coronavirus is that they supress the data to reduce panic and continue economic activity.

From time to time they throw in some major lockdown theatre like this one to make it superficially plausible that they are successfully fighting the virus with lockdowns.

As an added bonus western lockdown enthusiasts may be encouraged to lock down their economies, even though that seems to not work well even for an island nation like Australia.
I've heard of doing this, although not worked on such a project. Committing node_modules seems wild to me and I foresee issues with committing all the Python wheels necessary for different platforms on some projects.

I'm a proponent of lock-file approaches, which gain 99% of the benefits with far less pain. It requires network access, though.
That's an extremely broad question. Are you asking specifically about email replacements, communication standards, or just proprietary software in general?
> just adjust tax rates slightly

Show us some napkin math. Once you start doing estimates you will realize how untenable these proposals are.

Until you actually write down numbers, it's all pie-in-the sky unicorn dreams.
We are back to a point where you’re better off buying shows and movies a la carte.
A bit off topic but if you're interested in lispy development for embedded, definitely check out Elixir Nerves. Elixir is amazingly lispy and I was amazed at how quickly I was able to hack some embedded stuff out with it.
The ones I've seen (yes, at McDonalds specifically) are terrible, take forever to use, are abusive in attempting to push crap on the user and make some (what I'm sure are higher-margin) items easier to buy than others, and are yet another case of pushing labor onto the "consumer" and calling it automation(?!), like "automated checkouts" at grocery stores—a fucking lie, the buyer is doing almost as much work as paid workers used to, "automated" would be if you could just let go of your cart and a machine took care of the rest while you waited.

Or like shifting from having workers fetch items for you to modern-style stores where you have to find everything yourself (that change was long enough ago that the idea that you should feel put-out at having to do this part of a store's job is lost to time). Or filling your own drinks, which is at least semi-compensated by being able to refill as much as you want or even "steal" an extra cup, but since a large soda costs the store pennies that's not much of a benefit.

I'm struggling to think of a consumer-facing "automation" that wasn't actually just making consumers do more work. It's bad enough that we have to do the work of regulating prices (think of the time and brain-space you devote to figuring out whether the sale price on, say, apples is actually a decent one, keeping that figure/heuristic up-to-date, et c., now multiply by your entire shopping list, now multiply by the entire population)
However you don’t really get to loathe a software thing unless you are forced to use it for a log time and work around its limitations.
I'm so confused now. Did you read about the issue? I wonder if I misunderstood maybe.

As I understand it:

According to the source, Google inserts unique user ID is into database name. An attacker can make a request to Google, pass in this unique user ID into their API and get profile details, for example a photo back.

The attacker does not need access to the database data, only the database name, since the user ID is embedded in the _name_.

You are right it's a leak of a database name, but Google store sensitive data in the database name.

Perl uses ~ for string concatenation.

Nothing says that you cannot use both infix "++" for concatenation and unary ++ for increment. "-" is both a unary prefix and binary infix operator, for example.
I mean the key thing is you need concrete points of comparison. OP clearly feels their current position is lacking in some way so they should be looking around, and once they get looking around it will be much easier to make a decision.
(I've up-voted you ... our contexts are different, our experiences are different, the results are different, and it's important people get all points of view).

I have/work with three different companies ... two of them use Google based email systems, one (my own) does the filtering "in house". One of the G-based systems performs well, the other has multiple false positives every day.

I'm sure it performs well for the majority of people ... it's likely that the emails I send and receive are atypical, and Google performs badly because they are not "normal".

Everyone has to decide where that trade-off lies. In my context, I simply cannot trust Google, or any other server-side filtering, for important email. As others have said, it simply means the spam folder is a second inbox.

As I say to my clients about so many things: take advice, understand the trade-offs, make a decision, deal with the consequences.

No where did you read that? It's not true that all VISA cards in the UK are credit cards. It's just that only credit cards are relevant here.

Again... this thread is about credit cards, not debit cards. Nobody's talking about debit cards.

No one says you have to work even harder. If you reduce your consumption and live according to your most basic needs, you can achieve a level of self-suffiency that allows you to actually support yourself with your hobbies. Live simply, plant a garden, buy your clothes at thrift stores and shop at discount grocery stores. What ever it takes to follow your passion. Live like a starving artist and make something great. But if you're just a worker drone with no inner life and need to be a corporate servant, I can understand your frustration.
Odd, as these very similar ones are very common in Ireland and Britain.

Harry didn't play DnD or MtG though. He lived in a magical world, and while some of those magical things occasionally caught his attention, he wasn't really deeply interested in any of it. His main concerns were social: casting unsubstantiated aspersions on Snape and Malfoy and occasionally being correct. He didn't care about any of his classes. His only real love was Quidditch, which he was naturally talented at, making him, if anything, a jock.

Rethinking through the series, which I have re-read within the past year, the only truly nerdy moments he has all involve girls; and then only really at the beginning of his involvement with girls. Very quickly, he begins to have quite mature thoughts regarding his relationships, even if he doesn't always make the right choices.
> UBI however would mostly transfer this cost to high-income earners

Show me your napkin math. I've been all through this so many times that hand-wavy claims are not enough - simple estimates will show you how these claims do not work.

And if it was a simple we getting some more taxes somewhere, do you not think we'd already gather that tax? It's not like there's money that is easily taxable either politically (or sometimes, even economicially).

Sure, if we could magically get more money, and get it from places that are not current places, and ignore all effects of giving such money yo people on inflation and the economy, and get it so that there are zero side effects, maybe you'd be on to something.

But even in that case, it's still wiser to spend this money on better targeted things than simply handing to everyone with no regard who needs it.
You can also wash someone's feet if you want to, but don't make it a matter of spiritual, ritual cleanliness as Jesus did.

You can also take a bath if you want to, but don't make it a matter of spiritual, ritual cleanliness as Jesus did.

Also, Christians really need to learn what "pharisee" actually means before throwing the word around the way you do. "Neo-pharisees" would imply that the pharisees were some ancient group that ceased to exist at some point. In reality "pharisee" simple means "rabbi," and the only reason the term fell out of use is that the only recognizably Jewish movement to survive the destruction of the Temple and the Jewish-Roman wars was rabbinic Judaism. Almost any Jews you meet today practice a religion that can be traced directly to the pharisees mentioned in the New Testament. Moreover, the religious movement Jesus led was closer to what the pharisees taught and practiced than it was to any other Jewish movement of that time. One easy example is Jesus' own teaching that a man who has lustful thoughts about a woman has already committed adultery in his own heart; this is the kind of broadening of Jewish law that is common in rabbinic documents like the Talmud (e.g. "yichud," a prohibition on unmarried men and women being alone behind a closed door). Jesus also taught his followers answers to common Rabbinic debates, such as the famous dispute between Hillel and Shammai about when divorce is permitted.

Jesus was not nearly as radical as some Christians think. His movement was very slightly outside the mainstream, and for the most part his focus seems to have been on avoiding blind adherence to tradition. His willingness to accept disciples who were uneducated and even outcasts was unusual, but not that unusual, with the Talmud indicating that Rabbi Akiva was illiterate until he turned 40 and that Rabbi Shimon bar Lakish was the leader of a criminal gang before he began studying to be a rabbi (you may not believe such stories, but remember that the New Testament is no more historically reliable than the Talmud). Paul taught a religion that was much more radical than anything Jesus taught, but somehow I do not think you were referring to Paul when you spoke of "a just man willing to make a real sacrifice."
> Oddly enough - the process in a library for digitising a copy of a book can be fairly destructive, as far as I understood from those doing it (at CUDL). The spine is chopped off, to make it easier to put it into a machine for scanning all the pages.

I don't think it necessarily has to be that way. I recall seeing a photo or video of a book-scanner that would project laser grid-lines onto the book, to non-destructively correct for the deformations caused by the binding in software.

> We got people to do a task on a computer,’ says De Kwaadsteniet. ‘In multiple rounds, which represented the months they had to work, they did a boring task in which they had to put points on a bar. The more of these they did, the more money they earned.

That's not really for research. That's for something we can call data laundering. It's like money laundering but for data. Now politicians will use articles like this to sound scientific and data-driven when proposing their policies.

In reality they are quoting an article that quotes a paper that uses a horribly designed experiment with zero scientific rigor. But voters that don't pay attention will never get to know the flow of the data from the fake research to the politician taking their money away. Hence the data laundering.

Well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molyneux%27s_problem has been experimentally tested and it turns out that congenitally blind people, who are then granted sight, cannot automatically identify texture by sight alone; they have to learn to do so. So I would expect Mary to be unable to pass your test straight away, but I expect that she'll be able to learn do it with practice (because all the hardware is still there in her body, it just needs to be trained). And of course she'll be able to do it straight away given access to appropriate scientific instruments like a spectrometer; and she might be able to do it slowly and inaccurately without such instruments using her knowledge, in much the same way that I can multiply two three-digit numbers slowly and inaccurately.

Adding new primitives to your mental model of a thing is useless unless they're actually integrated with the rest of the model! Gaining access to "colour" primitives doesn't help you if the rest of your mental model was trained without access to them; you'll need some more training to integrate them.
>or that Julian Assange reports to Putin

Ah...this has been debunked?

The story so far as I know is that "multiple US intelligence agencies" told Congress that (in 2016) people working for the Russian government hacked the DNC and provided the emails to Wikileaks.

Wikileaks didn't reveal its source, but Assange said "no, nope, it definitely wasn't the Russian government, no way".

Mueller proceeded to indict a lot of Russians who allegedly were involved.

Where/what was the debunking?
