"Proof of humanity" is an active area of research, and there are several attempts at it out there. One that's worth looking at is BrightID[0] (although some people might be put off by it being blockchain-adjacent, in that it uses a DAO as part of its consensus-building system).

As for the difference between pseudonymity and anonymity, it's worth noting that once everyone has a cryptographic identity, we can start layering on clever things like zero-knowledge proofs, for example, which would allow people to issue themselves new pseudonyms that carry the same level of trust as their core identity, without ever revealing what that core identity is (or which other accounts vouched for the core identity to give it that level of trust).

Is it really meaningless to buy an NFT that might result in Assange being freed? If anything it would have good resale value if he actually gets free and i would argue much more than ape club NFTs

The offence he is charged for (i think sex without a condom) and the sentence he is serving is a mockery of the justice system. (I will admit i havent researched the details here)

I think he is one of our heroes and we should do our best to get him out of prison.

I never really liked a lot of fruits except some berries until I had them local and in season while traveling. It's like different food. Idk why that crap even gets sold sometimes.
Wow, that seems like a lot of horizontal space to cover looking back and forth. Does your neck get sore at the end of the day?
> the amount of sheer will, determination and delayed gratification needed to stay on the path for long enough to leave penury is beyond the realm of most peoples ability.

I don't think it is just delayed gratification that is a challenge, I think it is how a little bit of saved or scrounged up money can't change your circumstances.

When you're behind on rent two months, about to get an eviction court mark on your record, have collections hounding you or an impending bankruptcy proceeding, doing things like buying a pleasurable consumer electronic or pricy clothes doesn't change that, it doesn't make a dent in that. Your money either goes in a black hole of interest payments and mounting obligations, or it goes into a nice escape that even the bankruptcy judge can't take from you. They probably won't even bother with your consumer goods.

So until the utility of the money amounts changes, along with the speed the money amounts come in, there is no point in pretending that the circumstance will change due to your own discipline.

People are going to be just as apathetic and critical of your circumstance either way if you have blemishes on your credit or have trouble keeping a lease for a home. It doesn't matter whether you saved marvelously or spent frivolously.
How about IPS vs VA panels for text rendering?
Do you think they can even survive for long enough outside the special media for that to happen?

The most common method of escape that I read about is a genetic mutation that swaps out the recoded substitution for an amino acid that happens the keep the protein viable.

This is preventable if you simply use multiple substitutions in multiple places. That makes the probability of viable escape next to nothing if done well.
Great overview. Slight shame it leaves out 'lapply' etc though (and says as much at the top). I just remember realising that you can have lists and run functions on them when I was learning R, and it seemed like a superpower.
To add clarity to this. OP _can_ do this right now if they wanted to. The difference is:

1. You have to have an LLC that actually does business. What you don't say is you're also running all your personal stuff through the LLC for business purposes. AFAIK this isn't illegal since the stuff is the company's and you're just "using" it. A good example is a mercedes benz "company car" that, should you fail to make payments (through the company), is now the company's problem and not yours. The other REALLY big nuance here is that the money can't come from you TO your company. It must be company money. Otherwise you pierce the veil.

2. You have to make the LLC before bad stuff happens.

The difference is here J&J is trying to make a subsidiary after the fact. I don't think they can legally do this. Hollywood accounting has the subsidiaries made purpose built as fall guys. This is some "remember how we provided all those vaccines" level bribery.
Anyone can get a loan for any university. Even scam for profit. There is basically no limit on it.
Private schools don't align the profit motive. Private schools are able select what students go there, public schools aren't.

The biggest factors that contribute to student academic outcomes are household income and parental education levels.

Private schools as having a superior educational experience is really about being from wealthier households than it does about better teachers.
I never said anything about not understanding them.
If it's something simple, like getting a date from a string, a quick glance will tell me if it'll work. If it's more complex, a quick glance or two will give me the general idea and then I can test it against what I think will be edge cases.
If you don't know what kind of a string you'll have to process then you can't really know if any regex is correct, and if you do testing it in most cases is pretty easy and quick. You'd have to test even if you write it yourself.
And in the cases where it's wrong it usually gives me a good starting point.
Can second that - I have four of them, they run 24/7 on medium and pull ~8 watts at the wall each, assuming my meter is accurate. Picked them up after the last big discussion on air quality here a few months back. They are the Wirecutter pick, I believe.
I'm not the OP, and I haven't flown on a plane since before COVID. But if I do, I'll wear a mask properly if asked simply because I am terrified of getting in trouble with airlines.

Restaurants are different. I've dined in restaurants dozens of times in last two years. I have never worn a mask, and now I don't even carry one with me. On one single occasion I was told by a host at the front to put a mask on. I ignored him and walked to the table, where the act of sitting apparently deactivated the virus and it became acceptable for us all to dine unmasked with dozens of other diners talking, laughing, and in some cases coughing, sneezing, and singing very unsafe birthday songs.

When we rise from our seats after our meals the virus apparently re-activates, however I've never gotten even a glance from anyone while walking out of a restaurant unmasked. Nobody cares, because I think everyone understands that the rules make no sense.

I appreciate your frank admission that masking on planes and in restaurants is merely a ritual done to fulfill other people's irrational expectations. I agree that it has become a intensely strange example of cargo-cultism and virtue signalling, one which I am uncomfortable conforming to simply to respect the "boundaries" of the scolds.

Ask HN: What do you use for your personal document hell?
My SO uses iPhone and I use Android, I think we'll both soon go mad with all the pictures of the documents sent to post that we have to take a digital action for.

Contracts, Appliance Invoices, insurance, Kids' documents, Receipts, Fines, government documents, bills, tickets, passes etc. Are basically taking ages to find, even if we were wise to take a picture would take ages to refind.

I have both OneDrive and Dropbox, the UX is horrible for these simple searches. I know that Shoebox exists, but paying at least 18$ a month for wanting to store my documents on my phone in a neat way looks to much of a demand for me. (and that has a limitation). I'm not even asking for a fancy OCR.

Is there an app out there for this? What do you use?
It doesn’t help in-browser, but if you’re on macOS and using Finicky, you can add this to your `~/.finicky.js` under the `rewrite` rules:

{
match: ({ url }) => url.host === 'twitter.com',
url: ({ url }) => {
return { ...url, host: 'nitter.net' }
},
},

It goes along quite nicely with my `medium.com` to `scribe.rip` rule:

{
match: ({ url }) => url.host.endsWith('medium.com'),
url: ({ url }) => {
return { ...url, host: 'scribe.rip' }
},
},

(It should be possible to make it pick a random list from nitter mirrors.)

EDIT: Improved version that picks from random nitter redirectors (https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances#third-party-...). It needs the following declared at the top of the `finicky.js` file:

const NITTER_HOSTS = ['twiiit.com', 'twitit.gq']

const nitterHost = () => NITTER_HOSTS[Math.floor(Math.random() * NITTER_HOSTS.length)]

Then the rewrite rule is:

{
match: ({ url }) => url.host === 'twitter.com',
url: ({ url }) => {
return { ...url, host: nitterHost() }
},
},
Has anyone gone from a 27" 4k or 5k to a 1440p ultrawide? If so, how did you like it? I've been thinking about switching, but I don't know if having to run MacOS at 1x instead of 2x might be a significant downside.
I'm currently using 3:2 displays by Huawei, they are named Huawei Mateview and feature a 4K panel from the Surface Studio.

These are quite amazing to be honest and there's ton of vertical space for both VS Code and Terminals.
A the the time of encountering, I dislike such issues. Stress, downtime, frustration.

But a few weeks later, I love them. They are a great opportunity to learn how well a test suite is setup. How it can be improved, cleaned up, refactored, or just kept the same.
Good error messages are an underrated.

Python 3.10 is the first release to be exciting to me, since 3.6. Not because of pattern matching. Not because it adds 2 builtins. Because the error messages are so much better. And 3.11 will do even more.

Who said you needed a buzz word to get a nerd attention?
Can people comment here on how powerful they believe Python is vs. something like Javascript/Typescript. The later have their flaws but do really well for UI development. Is there truly an inherent advantage in Python? Are some people inherently keen on the language?

The never ending issue with these monitors is that it’s almost always cheaper to just buy the same height and v-res 16:9 monitor and cut borders at the driver level. They try to squeeze every penny out of your non-16:9 demands.

This entire x:y issue takes roots at OSes, which suck so much at window positioning out of box. Much easier and cheaper to use fancyzones or a similar tiling software and just ignore the wasted space, or use it only when needed.
Except it doesn't because what actually happens when people are in poverty is they can't escape for a whole litany of reasons that have nothing to do with intelligence: the stress of being borderline able to pay bills and having to work long hours mean they have no capacity to think about how to improve things, or even basics like healthy eating; they can't afford to buy ingredients in bulk so they're forced to buy much less efficiently and so spend more; the health effects of poverty, both direct and indirect put additional time and cost pressure on them; etc etc.

Don't get me wrong, the fact that ghrelin may have an impact on intelligence is fascinating, I just don't think it has anything to say about poverty.

AYN Odin: In-Depth Review
Nah, your perspective doesn’t bother me. Minorities and disabled people are used to ignorance, so it’s no surprise you’re doubling down.

I do feel that the most productive course of action is to end this conversation, though. There are more enjoyable ways to spend one’s birthday.

Suffice to say, I have no identity. But if one day you were to go blind, and then listen to someone telling you with a straight face that it really doesn’t matter, you’ll feel what I felt in this thread.

“Think of me~~ Think of me fond-ly, when we say good-bye~~ Remember me, once in awhile~~ please promise me you’ll try~~” as the song goes.
Hard disagree on the recommendations like about not bothering with 4k.

I got 2x portable 4k oled displays. Great color reproduction, crispy fonts and windows 11 remember where the windows should be.

Battery powered means I can easily travel with one or both and my laptop.

Oled means I can work comfortably at night with a black theme or a white theme + NegativeScreen

Further, anyone can put anything into your “wallet” without your consent or approval, and removing something horrible added without your consent can then trigger a smart contract that can do even worse things to your unmodifiable “profile”.

More unqualified leisure time isn't what most people want. Most people want meaningful connections to others. Watching T.V. for eight hours isn't going to make people feel good. Feeling connected and maintaining a sense of belonging is what is lacking in the modern world.
The good news is, all of these false positive bans are diluting Google's ability to sell ad spots to advertisers. It opens the door to disruption by a leaner ad network.
Hi, an independent contractor who helps others to become independent too. Congratulations on this life changing journey, a difficult decision to make.

Before COVID when I was more active I wrote a comprehensive free guide on this. It's titled for project managers but it really applies to a lot of independent consultants. Here's the link: https://iqoach.com/ultimate-guide-to-becoming-a-well-paid-in...

I tried to distill my experiences from myself and my clients, hope you find it useful.

Good luck!

Sounds like a great idea to create a UI/UX fork of Gimp, I would love to use it or even contribute. Not sure if you can build a community around it, but if you succeed, either your fork leads the way, or core Gimp ups their game - both of which are great options.

I was sent one of these by a reader who also sent me a couple of EO Personal Communicators (which I wrote about for Input a couple of years ago: https://www.inputmag.com/features/fax-on-the-beach-the-story...).

None of these devices worked, though there were a few in the box that did, most notably two still-functional Apple Newtons. I especially had little luck with the IBM Simon. The batteries simply did not want to charge and from what I read the charging process on them was supposedly quite involved even when the gadgets were new. If anyone has any ideas on how to get the device to connect to some source of power I’m happy to give it another shot, however.
> Barring children from voting is literally voter suppression

Actually, no, it's not. Maybe this is pedantic, but children are not, and have never been, putative voters and therefore are not being suppressed.

Minority groups less likely to have IDs are voters, however. 8% of white Americans do not have government photo ID, whereas 25% of African-American citizens do not[1].

Show HN: Texel – CLI tool for viewing spreadsheets
I've done 2 monitors and 1 monitor + laptop screen, and a single monitor, and I mostly prefer single monitor. Sometimes 1 monitor + laptop is useful for webdev--or if I'm in a particularly chatty Slack (or whatever), but I've found the less I have to swivel my body/neck the better. The most successful 1 monitor + laptop has been is when I can put the laptop beneath the screen. But these days I find I don't want to suffer the laptop keyboard (well, really lack of TrackPoint--I have a ThinkPad USB Keyboard SK8855).

Maybe the only problem I have now is "webcam looks down on you", which I don't like and makes me consider 1 monitor + laptop beneath again. MBP keyboards are better now so... maybe I can suffer the trackpad? Maybe it won't give me RSI?

I don't see it mentioned here yet, but the Huberman Lab podcast "Dr. Jack Feldman: Breathing For Mental & Physical Health & Performance" covers the function of sighs and other interesting topics. "They discuss physiological sighs, peptides expressed by specific neurons controlling breathing, and magnesium compounds that can improve cognitive ability and how they work."

Put me in the bucket of "would strongly consider cancelling, but for it being unclear whether there's a 1:1 alternative that has all of my music".

I am also blocked by the fact that, while I do dislike Rogan and his fans, and think worse of Spotify for having brought him on etc, I don't think this is that big of a deal overall. They have a lot of podcasts and they have a lot of music, and a lot of the content is likely objectionable to various people. I don't agree with free speech radicals/ideologues who sometimes imply standing up for him is fighting some kind of good fight, that anyone should be allowed to say anything and that deplatforming people with views that are, e.g., bigoted somehow stifles intellectual progress. Huge amounts of victim mentality among such people, I find, just like among the woke crowd.

For me, just as a practical matter, I don't know how Spotify could keep making distinctions between what is acceptable and content and not. Apparently, they are removing episodes of his which spread outright misinformation in the domain of Covid (leaving up the other 9, 484, 333 episodes of his that contain misinformation in other areas of life). From a business standpoint, it's a slippery slope for them, and I don't think cancelling my Spotify sub over Rogan alone makes much sense. I get their dilemma and have some sympathy as someone aspiring to entrepreneurship myself.

But this means I support Spotify here only insofar as it makes business sense for them based on the revenue they think he generates[0], and only insofar as they are like "well, we have this contract, and breaching it for PR reasons wouldn't send a good message to other artists and companies with whom we have relationships"--stuff like that. Business reasons. Those are valid reasons to keep Rogan on, and reasons I can accept. Ideological reasons having to do with "free speech" and propping up this stand-up comedian as a valid source of information? Totally opposed to my worldview and would be more likely to ditch Spotify the more they apply.

0. I wonder how they even measure that--how can they know if anyone would cancel Spotify but-for him? Is that how they think about it? How good are they at detecting when a user is going to churn, what do they look at?
Yes, it was completely frozen when I transferred it.
> - Too many errors on one line (make fewer)

Thank god it wasn't a C++ compiler...

I have a love/hate relationship with C++, but some of those error messages are just awful. When it comes to template errors in C++, I almost never try to understand any of the gibberish and just look for the file and line where the error was originally reported. Which is a task in itself, since most of the time the file you actually care about is neither at the bottom nor at the top of the pile of files.

On the other hand, error messages other than template-related errors have improved in C++ lately.
The multi-touch screen and good quality software¹ of the iPhone are what really drew a line in the sand between the old and new "smart" phone worlds.

Prior to the iPhone I think the closest device to hold a candle to it was the "VisorPhone" (palm clone with an add-on telephony device).

https://web.archive.org/web/20010107042900/http://www.handsp...

Close but no cigar - even if the hardware had been a little more integrated they would probably never have pulled off the deal with the telcos that Apple finessed.

¹ - relative to most phone software, whose UI beyond basic telephony was remarkably dire
That doesn't disprove that depression caused the microbial imbalance in the first place.

It's very reasonable to think that a lot of these systems are bidirectional, and for any individual, you may not know which part of the body was dysfunctional first.
Perhaps Westerners view all non-western science as pseudoscience or made up, but it is a well-known fact in many Eastern cultures (and their medicinal practices) that the stomach is a primary source of disease (and not just depression, but all kinds) when abused through bad eating habits.

Then the wheel is re-invented with intermittent fasting, a diet with less processed foods, more veg/fruit, less meat, etc.

Whenever I see articles about health on HN, I no longer take them too seriously because the reductionist approach to medicine is why people get mistreated for symptoms instead of the disease.

Even the ancient Greeks (the so-called birthplace of "western knowledge") took a more holistic approach than what the sketchy for-profit medical/pharmaceutical cabal does.

But of course, we need to take it seriously because "the scientists say so", even though their own research system is so badly broken that a for-profit cabal runs the publishing arm of research.

Strange times we live in.
You say it is necessary to lower the pantograph before (and re-raise it after) a gap in the line. Isn't it possible to (say) have the line smoothly rise before the gap - sort of lift away - high enough to disengage from the pantograph before the gap - so that the pantograph can be kept in the same position ? I'd think this would save on wear & tear and avoid accidents. How much upward pressure is applied by a pantograph anyways ?
I desperately wish there were commercially available 3:2 desktop displays in the 24-30 inch range. Hell I'd even take a 16:10 2560x1600 but they're simply not available unless you want to set a thirty inch monstrosity on your desk.
