The thing is BLM protesters broke laws. They started fires, destroyed businesses, trapped drivers in tunnels, attacked police, set fires in people’s homes, and declared an autonomous zone that claimed to secede from the country - and this is just from my city. GoFundMe happily allowed them to be funded while Facebook and Twitter happily allowed them to organize. Driving trucks and using the roads as they are meant to be used does not seem anywhere nearly as egregious (I know some did more than this). It also seems appropriate given that bodily autonomy is the most fundamental civil liberty. If you don’t have control over your body, what do you have in terms of liberty and why does rule of law matter?
> "Prime Minister has called the protesters racists and misogynists."

> He didn't. This is absurd.

Even though Bitcoin failed at many things, I don't see it as a failure as it literally started it all.

All the other cryptos are created after Bitcoin and learned from its shortcomings to build something better.

It probably has nothing do with you or my businesses, yet here we are talking about it.
Meta adds Personal Boundary feature to prevent harassment
DeSantis initiated this after they changed their stance. This is purely a political move. Just go check out patriots.win (the successor to /r/thedonald). They're still completely convinced that GFM took all the money and is giving it to BLM. I'm not even being hyperbolic, check it out

DeSantis probably just picked up on the rightwing twitter chatter and is trying to ride the wave
The money's pretty neutral but brokers like GoFundMe aren't and IMO shouldn't be compelled to be.
> when compared to e.g. Telegram it's much worse

To be fair Telegram, privacy and security concerns aside, is a pretty high bar. Surely Facebook has the resources to make an exceptional app, but apparently they don't think it'd be worth it for them. I really wish something like Matrix had clients as good as Telegram's!
What sort of humor? I'm showing the ridiculousness of the claim. The Nazis can be evil as well as ISIS.
These assholes just keep trying and trying until they get their way. At least it's good to see there's some actual pushback in the United States. Here in Australia, this sort of legislation has bipartisan support, it gets rubberstamped and passed on a Friday evening before a public holiday with the media staying silent.

Keep fighting against these bills, or else you'll get a government that happily runs roughshod over your civil liberties like ours.
Yes, I want to create an actual game on steam around it. We’re working on it on our spare time in our company, self-funded. Spare time is rare though, so I don’t know when it will be finished.

Interfacing with real hardware is a neat idea, I wonder what people would do with it
Django admin has 2 modes of operation:

In scope operation and extension:
- Incredibly smooth and effortless

Slightly out of scope:
- F U, buddy.

It’s amazing for so much stuff that it’s honestly a superpower for a tech or tech leveraged company, and great for prototyping internal process automation.

The trick is knowing when to throw in the towel and go purpose built. I’ve definitely missed that boat at least once in my career.
One project I'm following is Aztec Protocol. It's an Ethereum L2 (so faster & cheaper transactions, similar to Lightning) but it supports any Ethereum asset (ETH, USDC, WBTC) and is fully private.
It's worse than that. It's that right-wing conspiracists already vote for everything that they support, so there's absolutely no need to pander to them. In fact, you can fund them while pushing woke PR. It's the potentially class-conscious who should be pushed to see the world as a bunch of benevolent corporations pushing fairness against the "white working class" forces of darkness.
I recently learned Morse code. Long story short, for a while my life took a strange turn where I had full reign over someone else's Airbnb, and was free to modify the place in my image. We found this big light fixture meant for the ceiling, but in a moment of divine inspiration put it out on the fire escape and ran the wire to the house server as our "semaphore". Originally I was going to add server code to translate messages from some API endpoint into Morse. But just to get things off the ground, I set it up as a normal light switch and started keying in messages by hand.

I spent a few afternoons keying out random silly / vulgar messages. Stuff like "- .... . / ..-. -.-. -.-. / .-- - -. - / .-.. . - / -- . / -...", "- .... . / .-.. .. --. .... - ... / -. --- - / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- ...- . / --. --- -. . / -- .- -.." and ".. -- / -- . ... ... .- -.. .. -. -.. / .- -... --- ..- - / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -.-. .- .-. ... / . -..- - . -. -.. . -.. / .-- .- .-. .-. .- -. - -.--". At first I had to look at a Morse reference sheet while keying these in, but after a few hours I was no longer looking at the sheet.

Moral of the story, it only takes a few bored afternoons to learn Morse. You should do it.
Let's see, those for freedom and individual choice would be more brainwashed that those against?

Interesting theory.
On my latest project I went with Starlette (same author DRF/core dep for FastAPI) on it's own using marshmallow for serialization.

Having written years worth of django/drf in the past, it's a breathe of fresh air with minimal dependencies, simple constructs, and good documentation. Def recommend.
The plan presented to GFM by the organizers called for excess funds to be given to charities. How is it fraud for GFM to follow the organizer’s plan? The only thing they refused to do was fund the illegal occupation of downtown Ottawa.
Quarantines are not a novel or exotic public health measure. Try again.

You specifically called out the government making you quit smoking or forcing you to eat better in your original post.
I agree. I think there are several reasons high achievers' mental health issues go untreated:

- like you say they maintain a healthy surface because part of their perfectionism is no one knowing about their anxiety / having a good image

- if they do share, often their goals / expectations will be inflated compared to that of their peers such that for others it feels like they're bragging or being ridiculous, instead of taking their pain seriously. I notice this especially with when I share dissatisfaction about my school results - disparate expectations create a true divide.
> FAST execution: Very high performance thanks to Pydantic and async support.

I think the only use cases where my Librem 5 doesn't yet reach my Nokia N900 (not counting obvious form factor and spec differences) are related to the cameras.
Which services well be denied to the left? I'm also curious about your plans for regulatory agencies.
I kind of wish I could train myself to be a bit more towards perfectionism than I am. I know it is a different problem than y'all are having, but sometimes it feels that when everyone is stressed about a project I am the only one laid back like "it will work, even if we're a little late" or, which is worse, "readers will point out a mistake if we missed it on the overview". I call it "community feedback", but others see it more accurately as "forgiving errors before tgey are even made".
what if the output of lightning came from mixed coins?
Got an article on how Lightning fixes this?

This article is alarming to me as a normie user. I'm curious about going off the big exchanges and using my coins. What if I receive crypto through OpenSea that Coinbase deems soiled?

Although I don't like it, I could see private verification service popping up for P2P. "We make sure the coins are good before the transaction goes through".

Makes me wonder how much of a "walled garden" Bitcoin is. Sure, hold it on exchanges all you want, but don't try to use it or we lock your account.
Also hyperlinks are the same blue hue in light and dark mode, resulting in significantly lower contrast for the latter
I signed up for the music, or more specifically, the algorithmic recommendations.

With Spotify allowing commercial interests to influence recommendations (artists can choose to take a drop in royalty income to prioritize their music in recommendations) and pushing podcasts in my face all the time when I open the app, to the detriment of recommendations... I've decided to run my own Jellyfin server instead.

Like you, this isn't what I signed up for. It's sad that I can't just pay a monthly fee for a good music app -- even Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, etc. are all crappy music apps.
I have a feeling that if Belarus is part of a Ukraine invasion, this will just be a warmup. On the bright side, not having an Apple developer account won't make much difference when you can't purchase anything more advanced than a graphing calculator.

That being said, war is dumb and I sincerely hope cooler heads prevail.
I don’t understand why usa is so adverse to metal detectors at the door for public institutions like schools. I spent a few years in India having to be metal detected to enter any metro, mall, or hotel. And they have far fewer weapon and terrorism concerns than USA does. It’s annoying and you get used to it.

Small steps like these could improve the confidence of those working in schools and the many parents trusting schools to safely educate their children
Yes, pretty much everything is still open regarding pricing, and we are having a public discussion about it.
If you're using the U2F API you've been getting a warning about it since November. I can't imagine developers that are using it are still unaware at this point, particularly when it's a user-facing warning and not just buried in the developer tools.
Whittier is Anchorage's "port" where where cruise ships stop. There are shops inport. You can take day trips to Anchorage or overnight to Denali National Park.

Whittier has other boats too forbwhale andbglacier tours, fishing, etc.
Hum... Annual plan is not stated on any of the large text. It is stated on the "review order before you buy" as part of the name of the product, what makes it nothing any similar to "clear". "Completely confusing" is more apt.

Near it the price information carries the monthly price only, with no indication that you are signing up to 12 times that amount.

The only saving feature is that you don't need to read dozens of pages. If you open the contract, it is confusing from page 1. But it's also not clear at all what is going there.
That would stop being true for P2P if exchanges started blocking tainted coins, though. If that happened at scale, then P2P users would have to start validating themselves before accepting them, which is a real privacy nightmare. Of course, eventually exchanges will start blacklisting anyone with a mixer in their history, too.

The vaccine isn’t being forced on anyone. Body autonomy is no more being violated here than any other time in history where vaccines have been required to do certain things, of which there are many examples.

Not to mention, all the things you listed at the start of your comment have been done by the Ottawa occupiers. I don’t like to call them truckers because most are not, and most truckers are against this occupation.
Depends on how big the monorepo is. I’ve seen just two or three highly productive teams start stepping on each other in ways that were more par for the course at 200 person engineering teams.
You obviously don’t live in Ottawa.
I've paid, and have already accessed support three times since with great success and good response times. I was quite surprised actually considering all the horror stories I'm reading here.
That wasn’t the case when I read the article. They changed their policy after being threatened with legal action.
It's obviously a peaceful protest*. The word "occupation" here is already spin from the side that wants to shut it down and is trying to build a case for doing so.

Peaceful protest involves physically assembling and making noise. That is no doubt unpleasant both for those who disagree with the protestors and those who live in the neighborhood, but the right to do this in public is fundamental and vital in democratic society. I thought we were all raised to understand that? For the life of me I can't understand people who are so ready to trash those rights just because they don't happen to agree with a cause. Either these are democratic rights or they aren't, and if they are then they apply to everybody.

* Edit: I shouldn't have said obviously. I should have said: from what I've seen. Some people are posting that there have been violent things going on, but those claims have come without evidence. In the few cases where I have seen objective information, such claims have turned out to be exaggerated. If I see objective information showing that the protestors have turned violent, I will change my mind. (As long as it is clear that it really was the protestors and not someone trying to make them look bad, since that kind of thing also happens at protests.)
Those interested in skinning / customizing the Django Admin should also check out Grappelli which has been around for ages (and the design probably shows, since it's more in line with "Web 2.0" trends than the current flat-rounded-corners-bold-colors language)

As an avid cyclist in multiple biking disciplines: MTB XC, Road, Gravel, and Enduro, I hate bike lanes. By far, they are the most lethal place to ride a bike. Being 3ft from 45mph traffic with no protective barrier is not safe by any stretch of the imagination. All it takes is one drunk or high driver or someone posting selfies on instagram to kill me. You are safer careening down a mountainside over rocks and roots than you are in a bike lane.

What is much safer for cyclists are dedicated bike paths [like streamway buffer paths], bike lanes separated by barriers, and Bentonville, Arkansas is the pioneer in Mountain Bike trails as local transportation.

Unprotected bike lanes are stupid idea postured by the media with 0 scientific thought into their safety.
The site is itself very interesting and not very well known in the West as it sits in the border region of Iran and Afghanistan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahr-e_Sukhteh

From Wikipedia: "Artifacts recovered from the city demonstrate a peculiar incongruity with nearby civilizations of the time and it has been speculated that Shahr-e-Sukhteh might ultimately provide concrete evidence of a civilization east of prehistoric Persia that was independent of ancient Mesopotamia."
The operative word there is "similar."
Ticketmaster is definitely a great example of one company essentially owning the market, but they have a legal out against being a monopoly in that most places will also sell a few tickets through other channels like grocery stores or a hard to get to box office somewhere or “at the door”
This is what we attempt to solve by retracting articles. And from the point of view of the scientific record, there is no meaningful difference between a made up result and something that cannot be replicated.

I don't think "the scientific record" is more than a metaphor that's referred to in talking of retraction. Still, if one were to imagine a hypothetical scientific record, you would have to imagine something that's inherently malleable. Even if most basic results are never going to be disproved, so fraction of even the most basic result are going to be disproved.

The thing, it's unusual but not unheard-of for a researcher to come up with a result, have it not be replicated, have the result languish and then have a later researcher take advantage of the result, either show it could be replicated or otherwise explaining what was actually going on.

But if the explanation for a strange result is "they faked it", then the impact of the situation is different.

Moreover, non-reproducibility is a reason for retraction but I don't think it's the main reason and well know papers that haven't reproduced aren't necessarily retracted Afaik.

Which is to say, I think there's still an important difference between non-reproducible for unknown reasons and know-to-be-fabricated data.

Desktop OSes all have some form of optional sandboxing now, so it makes sense to keep chipping away at the edges of the attack surface.
Thanks man~~
The Debian/Ubuntu policy of not keeping their end user apps in repositories up to date is very strange. Generally when apps are not kept up to date on other operating systems it is usually due to limitations of hardware, performance issues, or software API support. Given that Libc doesn't exactly change between versions, why are apps not kept up to date aside from those that rely on specific kernel syscalls?
I didn't know that about the KA PDP-10 nor had I looked that deeply into the GA144. Thanks.

If a trusted source (news) tells you Rogan is right wing and you don't hear anything to the contrary, it's easy to take that at face value and accept it. In fact based on human nature, a brain will actively resist anything to the contrary after hearing it enough times.
I don't want my hosting company to dictate what I can do and what I can't do. I don't spam, but I won't hold my moral standard to everyone else.
Was he wrong, though?
People (rightly) ask: Why would anyone be a teacher?

For some it's genuinely a calling, a vocation. The buzz you get from seeing the lights go on, from making a difference, from seeing a student blossom, is unequalled.

But external pressures are squeezing that out, and the utter neglect of the teachers and utter contempt for the profession is finally catching up.

The warning signs have been there for decades, the momentum is growing, and it may now be too late.
No, he didn't. A unanimous declaration by members of parliament (incredibly rare) denounced events happening in the shroud of the protests. And they are really happening!

If someone denounces looting at a BLM protest -- also something that happened -- does that mean every BLM protester is a looter? That is absurd.
I agree with that, except in cases where the number of brokers is small and monopolistic. That's not strictly true for platforms like gofundme, but it is true for payment processors, who are the real choke points in the ecosystem.

My issue with Gofundme isn't that they aren't politically neutral, it's that they took the money first, and then just decided to hold it hostage. Had they not accepted the trucker's money, or just refunded all the donors, or disbursed the funds to the org and then refused to accept anymore, any of those things would have been fine. But what they are doing here is tantamount to theft, and that I do believe brokers should be compelled not to do.
Remember when GoFundMe was actually encouraging people to donate on Twitter to CHAZ/CHOP in Seattle? During a pandemic when most states still had mask mandates?

I do, and GoFundMe is a bunch of partisan hypocrites. Let me quote Elon: Professional Thieves.
No link because people who like to read about hackers might be offended? Ok
I had a friend who had a surgery to unblock the cerebral fluid paths. Not sure if "shunt" is a technical name for it, but that's what he said.

Also, he said he had insomnia before it. Really cool to see it. Internal plumbing of a human body.
I would definitely switch, it isn't hard and I've done it in the past just to get better terms or rewards several times.
This narrative is bullshit. GFM was gonna redirect the funds to charities chosen by the main organization behind the GFM

This is just a rightwing talking point
Thank you for the original article! Reading it last night gave me a jolt of motivation with the project I'm working on :) Have built it and now time to talk to people!
This is a terrible, terrible idea. What percentage of these devs have anything at all to do with Lushenko?
> "forgiving errors before tgey are even made"

this is brilliant if it was intentional.
If you refuse to upload your entire phonebook to Meta, the app will HATE you for it. You will not be able to initiate any chats, the other party needs to start chatting you first. Also, instead of names, only phone numbers will be shown. (I cope by looking at avatars and inferring identity from the previous few messages.)

This would all be easily fixable. You could be able to start a chat by entering (or, more realistically, copy-pasting) a phone number. And instead of a phone number, you could be shown the other person's profile name (like in Telegram).
Output of a lightning channel is almost certainly more likely to contain mixed coins. The UTXO model is hopelessly outdated.
There isn't a built in way. That's not what Apple wants to happen so fuck the user I guess. Someone has written a script that monitors for if the lid is closed and puts it to sleep. I haven't personally tried it though.

That's why I said the email should contain info about the sender -- there should of course be a way to contact them. Ideally you should just be able to reply to the message and tell them about the error. If there's no way to contact a company, that's a whole different problem, and not really one that would be fixed with unsubscribe links in important email messages.
Possibly a case study for future space settlements.
GPU’s are overpriced due to demand. If they are utilised more efficiently in cloud then it’s cheaper.

Personally gaming sounds so expensive considering you’re just burning time. Probably cheaper than clubbing or travelling tho.
This is the real value of cryptocurrencies. Yes, I know HN doesn't like them, yes there's a bunch of get-rich-quick bros and scammers out there, please try and separate the grift from the tech and consider how vital it is that people are able to control their finances without a third party having the ultimate say as to whether a transaction takes place or not.
Quebec has separate civil law from the rest of Canada and our consumer protection act prohibits this kind of behaviour (with very clear case law and precedence siding against companies).

As a result though there are a fair amount of companies that will have these trial offers everywhere except Quebec. Spotify is one that comes to mind.
Before GFM decided to directly refund everyone, their plan was to redirect any non-refunded funds to charities of the choosing of the organizers of the GFM. The only way they would go to left-leaning charities would have been if the organizers of the GFM were left-leaning and chose that
My understanding is a lot of interesting stuff gets blocked at the payment processor level. So far-right dildos, drug parphanelia etc may have issues that cryptocurrencies solve. If you've never tried to break the rules it's easy for this stuff to be invisible.

Here's a post from Stripe on this issue:

"Behind the scenes, we work closely with payment networks (such as Visa and Mastercard) and banking partners across more than two dozen countries. Each institution has strict legal regulations that govern them and specific rules about the types of businesses they do and do not work with."
