* Layers upon layers of complexity: Implementing CURIs alone is a non trivial task, although all that's really needed to describe entities and attributes is 128bit UUIDs.

* There is no good build-in way for authentication and trust.

* Description Logic (the foundation of OWL) has a fundamentally prescriptive philosophy, which makes it inappropriate for most practical applications.

* No good library and tool support in general, due to the complexity.

* Blank Nodes

* No good consistency mechanism for distributed data generation, and Quads (having multiple graphs) don't properly solve this.

* Using human readable entity and attr id's leads to more bike-shedding and accidental collisions than it's worth.

Curious, increased by 2400% always felt like 25x to me. For example if we said increased by 50% then no one would think twice about 1.5x
Yeah, that's a massive timescale in human history. As far as we know we've only had intentional agriculture for around 10,000 years.
I don't think that books are a great comparison for Gemini.

Go read The Art of Computer Programming or Linear Algebra Done Right and tell me how easy it would be to process that information without mathematical equations.

Gemini doesn't just eschew images - it gets rid of math notation, too.

Imagine how much further we would be back if we had been unable to use mathematical notation that didn't fit the ASCII character set.

Not to mention all of the thousands of books that are massively better off with actual diagrams in them, and the fact that many books (textbooks especially) that should use images don't.

Gemini isn't even as capable as a book.

And yes, the marketing material states that it's not a replacement for the Web, but it is constantly compared with the Web - sure sounds like a wink and a nod, a subtle suggestion that it is somewhat of a replacement.

If Gemini users want to collectively go off and exclusively create content in Geminispace without bothering me, that's great. However, I'm not very amiable towards any efforts to start moving other people's stuff there, or even the possibility of getting big brains or educators onto that permanently crippled medium.
It's actually much more than 15-30% if you go with the official/legal way: I would say you likely lose ~70% at the moment. Most people doing contract jobs in Argentina have a bank account in Uruguay, the US or Europe, and use cryptocurrencies or travel to bring cash.
> except for kids with other risk factors, some of whom probably shouldn't have been in school at all for any of this

You're likely getting into ADA territory there. Masking during a pandemic to permit at-risk kids to continue to go to school sounds very much like a "reasonable accommodation" of the sort schools are required by law to provide.
Sure I'd be glad to elaborate. Why should we make any personal details about our lives public information if it doesn't need to be? Do you go around announcing all the things that you do in your life that are seemingly harmless? Sometimes revealing information to the public that one would think is harmless can end up doing a lot of harm, both to you and others. Privacy matters, a lot.

A self-signed certificate used for HTTPS still protects the client/server from snooping by a unaffiliated party, even if it doesn't protect from a MITM intercepting and responding to the request in the case where the client hasn't already added this self-signed certificate to their trusted CA store.

> The only other countries in the Americas with such a problematic currency situation are the ones facing economic sanctions.

Argentina is not receiving economic sanctions but it's pretty much cut out from international credit. Last time the country had access to good credit mostly from other Latin American countries it was not doing that bad. That stopped when Venezuela and Brazil crashed.

Maybe the huge interest rates and being cut out makes sense because "we don't pay", maybe it doesn't because some of that credit was taken by a dictatorship or by wildly unpopular and corrupt governments, but it does work pretty much as an economic sanction.

Honestly I used to think this was unfair in the later 90s early 2000 when most of that debt came from lending by a US backed dictatorship or from a corrupt government that was basically in the pocket of big corporations. But it's true that as Argentinians there was not much we did against the former dictators, who most got pardoned or only saw consequences in the last years of their lives. Oh and the president from the corrupt government died a senator and only saw some years of house arrest from selling weapons to Ecuador when they were sanctioned. It's not clear for me if "the Argentinian people" are really ok with that or not anymore.

There are different kinds of training - it sounds like you got a good one, but it's not fully simulating a blown-door situation. There's a difference between less oxygen @12,000ft and the actual low pressure of 33,000ft: The higher altitude has about 1/3rd the pressure of the lower altitude, so it actively removes oxygen from your body (lungs, blood) faster. But simulating with an abrupt 33,000 feet would cause ear pressure problems, and it's a lot safer (and quickly reversible) to just play with the oxygen concentration.

Also, in this thread, I think you all know this, but wanted to make sure - a chemical oxygen generator "burns" to produce oxygen. The exothermic reaction is started with a small explosive; burning means its producing oxygen. Of course, in the 592 crash, they weren't properly packed with heat shielding, so catching other things on fire (plus the excess oxygen) was the cause of the crash.

Its not a distribution. Its a dilution. The rich gets richer as they have most of their savings and capital in form that is not taxable and also set to rise with markets and real estate. The poor and middle class have much smaller percentage of income working for them and not usually have access to high growth opportunities.

You joke, but this is a real concern for me ... even if I do get a person replying here, presumably the hacker used dodgy means of getting access in the first place! how can I definitively prove what I'm saying is true?

My main hope is that it will be clear from the page's history that I've been involved from the very start, and the new "owner's" actions will look as suspicious to a real human as they do to me!

In the meantime, I've updated my blog to mention this discussion, proving at least the blog part of my ownership :)

Surely, this is a huge problem with whole carrier's philosophy then. Things go down in war.
This is her summary: That people are not being unambiguous/open about Qtotal numbers.

All responders who are trying to discredit her are just throwing even more diversions, jargons and ambiguity. Which proves her right even more.

If people wish to prove her wrong, it's simple – just openly and unambiguously discuss the Qtotal numbers.
Ah but I heard if you worked for the government during Cristina's presidency when the official price of pesos was artificially kept low, you could get paid 20% of your salary in USD at the government rate!
Nevada is a swing state though, so it's going to have disproportionate national influence until that changes, which could be a long time.

I'm not sure why the approach of giving the state piles of money in exchange for hosting the storage wasn't tried initially. Or maybe it was, but was downplayed enough that it never comes up. Nevada isn't a very populous state so billions of extra dollars would go pretty far. It has also been trying to diversify its economy for a while now, with pretty mediocre results.
I’m trying to understand how would it work for mortgages.
I guess that you have no fixed interest mortgages and they are all tied to the inflation rate + some spread, otherwise I don’t see how the banks would want to lend you money for a house.

Meh! I would rather listen to people's original perspectives despite of potential inaccuracies, instead of lies fabricated by corporations via highly paid "experts".
> Puyallup, and the COVID restrictions are much more relaxed (if present at all).

Meanwhile, the medical group I work for in Seattle is being absolutely swamped by patients being transferred from overwhelmed hospital and urgent care facilities in Pierce and Thurston counties. We've had to stop doing anything but COVID-related care and the only reason we have the capacity to do that is because we don't operate an emergency room so we can't take on the worst-of-the-worst cases.

According to our daily COVID update report, we have a handful of patients who gave residence addresses--we ask for this because the county and state departments of health want it for statistics, among other reasons--inside Seattle and just a few more inside King County.

It's a very stressful time for many of us, and it isn't helped by the disparity in level of care, let's say, over COVID prevention measures even inside the region.
one exchange that does allow colo is gemini. They're located in NY5 (https://docs.gemini.com/fix-api/#connecting) and allow cross connects. When colo-ed, you wouldn't be using websocket but their FIX API. Multiple other crypto providers are also colo-ed in the same location

The reason they are not popular is that we don't have a practical power source. Flight times are measured in minutes. And practical ones that could be used by anyone would be much larger (think VTOL hang glider, not Bobba Fett).

Even with a practical power source, you know have an immense amount of energy stored right next to your body. You need to be able to direct said energy in a safe way. Good luck.

There's only so much airbags can do. Imagine where you would locate those airbags. Cant be pressed against the body either (airbags can cause horrible injuries). Parachutes won't help close to the ground.
Sorry, I confused it with Archive access tier. Still, you need to spend at least 50$ to download it from AWS.
First of all, the number of places where you need to wear a mask inside of stores is fairly tiny. Second, for those places with mask mandates for shops, it's really hard to check everyone for vaccine status and really easy to see if someone is wearing a mask.

As for restaurants... where do you need to wear a mask in a restaurant these days? I often wear it when talking to the host, just to be polite, but that is the only moment I wear a mask in a restaurant.

As for vaccines, they are the "answer" because they dramatically reduce hospitalizations and all of the downstream catastrophes that come from overwhelmed hospitals.
They have a poor backup if a component fails, they're either going to be blasting something hot or something very fast out some set of ports which raises a lot of practical issues, they're always going to be very loud, greasing them up with enough AI to be safe for a normal person is going to be a massive problem, they'll always be difficult to control because such a small, fast thing is going to be super responsive and thus very twitchy and difficult to fly (or, to put it another way, "more dynamic flying experience" is a con, not a pro), and the list goes on.

Basically, a jet pack what you get if you take a minimal safe flying vehicle based on jet propulsion, then you strip away a huge number of components. The result is intrinsically unsafe.

Paramotoring isn't the safest thing either, but at least it's humanly feasible.

LNG is green(er), compared to coal.

People want to not freeze in winter. They're going to try to heat with something. If they don't burn coal, and they don't heat with nuclear- or renewable-created electricity, then what's left? LNG in a power plant or NG in their home is greener than the alternative.

You want to go still greener? Great. But this winter, people still want to be warm, and if your answer is "create more renewable energy in five years", that's not going to cut it.

Every single scenario in this is a false dichotomy.

If the only choices are "plow through a bunch of pedestrians, killing them" and "swerve into a fixed obstacle, killing your passengers", your self-driving car has already made an immoral choice to drive too fast for the conditions.

The correct choice was "if there are hazards in the roadway limiting your maneuvering options, pedestrians (or other objects) that might suddenly enter the roadway or visual blockages that would prevent the car from determining whether there are people/object that might suddenly enter the roadway - slow down before the car's choices are so limited that they all involve unnecessary death".

A self driving car that encounters any of these scenarios has already failed at being a safe driver.
Having actually read the article, I thought what it had to say about "transferable knowledge" spoke to this general complaint quiet nicely. Whether you think its the right answer or not, I'm not sure.
Before civil war in my old country a quarter a century ago, people were doing the same thing: buy something big and expensive in installments. First couple would suck. Last few were negligible.

Another story that seems surreal to me now (having lived in Canada 25 years): My grandma and virtually everyone her age was habitually 3 order of magnitude off when it came to money. She'd give me a 2 million dinar note and say "here's 2 thousand".

Every now and then there was a reset - basically you'd print new money and lop of some digits.

I was <12 years old through this so only have vague memories but man, what a crazy way to live -- and yet it was fairly... "normal". Is what it is. Human brain adjusts to anything (including to a certain degree the civil war that followed).
There's been no talk publicly about accepting nuclear waste from other countries. ONKALO is financed through fees gathered from electricity generated by nuclear energy in Finland. This facility is meant to hold Finnish spent nuclear fuel. I highly doubt Finland would accept fuel from other countries.
I'd look at other programs for inspiration. Blender for example allows you to place the anchor point and then gives you the option for how many segments you want connecting the anchors. Turning the resolution up and down gives you a feel for how many subdivisions you'll need for a smooth curve.

At the very least you'll need a UI for placing the anchors and handles, but how the UI works is really subjective. Your next step is to take those anchors and desired resolution and generate a list of vertices. After that it's just an exercise in rasterization.
The idea that you can create blocks that can easily be integrated into other applications presupposes that it's a desirable thing to have data that can be easily integrated into other applications.

Which, for us as developers, seems like a given.

But when you look at it through the lens of business users, that becomes a much more murky assumption.

Look at RSS. Amazing way to aggregate content from other sources into a viewer that you have robust control over. Developers love it!

But is RSS desirable from a business point of view? The landscape over the past 15 years suggests that no, it's not.

Businesses would prefer to build walled gardens. They want complete control over the experience of consuming the content they produce, particularly when it comes to analytics and user data generated from that content. In many cases, their business model depends on it.

While the Block site touts this protocol as a way to collaboratively build and share things within a community and ecosystem that runs on cooperative principles, that may be at odds with what our current business environment is incentivizing.

I took my American girlfriend to my hometown this winter (summer there) and we both realized that what Argentina needs is a Nelson Mandela of sorts.

There is SO MUCH to do. But everyone has just given up.

It’s a psychological and social problem more than an economical problem now.

I tried to generate business for people paying for things in dollars and the mistrust is so high that no one wants to do anything because they think you’re about to scam them. And they have reason to. But no one is starting a business there, why would you?

The entrepreneurial vibe of HN is absolutely nonexistent in Argentina. So much that when someone young opens a business that is mildly successful the news dedicate an article to them. “Look, Argentinians generating jobs!”

It’s sad and I bang my head everyday at how I can go back home while creating jobs and fighting the stupidity of the government

I forgot about this until now - when I was a kid we had a block of cement, basically a patio stone, sitting on top of the woodstove. When I went to bed, since my room was unheated, I would wrap the cement block in cloth and put it by my feet in bed. I kind of miss that cozy feeling, but then at the same time I don't miss how cold the rest of the room was. If I woke up to a 50 degree room now I'd probably never want to get out of bed!
I disagree again. Obstacles are obstacles and still to be avoided. Avoiding obstacles while following the road rules is what driving is all about.
At 25k USD for the cheapest helicoper blade, I don't see them getting more popular even if they become trivial to fly.

I took the test with this logic but I think there is a wrinkle I overlooked -- pedestrians are able to control their decisions while the passengers can't control their decision besides the decision to enter the self-driving vehicle. For example, pedestrians are able to look both ways and ensure it's safe to cross. With that in mind, I don't think it makes sense for the car to alter course and cross the line in order to kill less people since the people who are on the other side already made a safe decision to cross while the people straight ahead did not.
More children will probably die in the years to come by suicide due to overburdensome restrictions and nuked social development than by COVID.

Thanks! Your post was really inspiring to me because I'd been grappling with the issue for a while; the rules are all hardcoded in Go right now and I'd been slowly trying to migrate the engine to either Guile or (more likely, since Guile in Go is through cgo) Lua. Reading your comment reminded me that A) that's similar to how Magic Arena handles cards and B) I studied Prolog back in uni and totally could do something similar.

If something interesting comes out of it I'd love to do a Show HN but I'd probably have to work things out with my colleague first: he's the brains behind the game design and project, I'm just the code monkey :).

I knew people will disagree with me. The kids usually who are good with Maths are gifted. They love solving puzzles, but what about the rest kids?

To me, the ultimate solution for this problem is teaching philosophy before maths.

The ideal route is philosophy -> history of maths -> maths
