I'd go further and say once you've been a politician at a certain level, you should be banned from being in politics for the rest of your life. Why? Because if a person's total purpose in life is to be a politician, IMO they will eventually be a bad / corrupt one. If a person goes into with "here's my attempt to make things better for 4 years", great. But that's all you get.

I'd also ban the next 2 generations in the family from going into politics. If grandpa did it, you can't, and you can't benefit from his connections. It's not like we are talking about a lot of people.

The main issue in politics IMO is that greed is a human characteristics that we aren't likely to soon be rid of.

Yes, WAF is one of the features you get if you're not on their free app service plan. I think having the option of simply upgrading and turning it on if it becomes necessary, makes the free offering quite attractive.

Ask HN: Drug that can erase sexual desire for increasing focus on research?
For many unattractive and non family oriented person like me, I am wondering if there's any way to erase evolutionary coded sexual desire.

It makes sense for spreading genes to have sexual desires. But my sexual desires do not get me anywhere in life, Infact it's counter productive and takes me away from better pursuit in life like working on green energy research, working on my hobbies etc...

I am usually pretty chill person, but I have begin to notice when met with sexual tension and sexual competition, I go crazy and start acting selfish. I do not like it and often time I only introspect my behavior when things have already happened.

I am not even seeking any romantic partner so mostly it ends up having to visit escort or watching porn, both of which I am finding immoral lately and waste of time, energy and money. But I can't seem to exercise control over my behavior resulting from sexual desire. So I've reached conclusion that if I do not have sexual desires to begin with, I'd be a much better person.

It seems rather cruel joke, that I do not have anything to do with sex yet I have sexual desires. Man some startup can help here, get rid of sexual desires by paying a subscription fee monthly. I would have already subscribed if something like this existed.

Is there any work that is being done to kill sexual desires for people who do not want it? I am pretty sure army would have done any research on it?
I don't think crappy projects dominate the high solidity comps, most of the crappy projects I think pay average dev comps and/or a cut of proceeds.

The high paying jobs are the ones that require an intimate understanding of EVM, and usually DeFi protocol design, or really competitive fields like MEV. These will be around regardless of "boom times" and require a highly specialized skillset.

I think this article about the wildly different scripts to the English and Japanese version of Batman Ninja goes a long way towards explaining:

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-batman-ninja-in-englis...

>"My first exposure to the anime process was working with [Hayao] Miyazaki on Spirited Away," Chu said. "It was just very interesting watching him do the story. Like, he kind of thinks up the story, and then you don't really write it, you start sort of thumb-nailing out like, what key visual moments might be, and then you start storyboarding and then you start animating.

>

>"And I was like, 'OK, but what are you animated to?' He's like, 'Oh, we just make the mouths move.' And then I was like, 'But is there dialogue?" And he's like, 'No, no. We add the dialogue at the end.' And you're like, 'Oh, that's really weird.' And people always complain about, 'Oh, I'm going to watch the original Japanese version with English sub, not the English dub version,' but the truth is the Japanese version is dubbed as well."
While I appreciate the effort and the write-up, this methodology has a few flaws.

1) As you state, most high salary positions don't publish their salaries publicly, so a website with developer submitted salaries like levels.fyi provides better user metrics.

2) Most of the results on the "top ruby" link [1] are from dice.com... which then links to another job board [2], jobot.com. The post from jobot.com appears to be from a contingency recruiter with no company name stated. The lack of transparency there is a bit unsettling, but it might be accurate??

3) The only post in the top 20 that is actually from the hiring company is for a "contract" position, where the "salary" is the contractor hourly rate annualized, ie: doesn't cover health insurance, self-employment taxes, etc... so that "salary" would be much less apples-to-apples with a full-time position.

Can you produce really insightful and correct analysis of time series without understanding what you are doing? No.

There are no shortcuts with statistics. It will all seem to work out fine until you involuntary shoot yourself in the foot and you most likely will because doing forecasting properly is tricky. If you are lucky you will notice something doesn’t look right but you might not.
The mindset that "wins" the game (as you put it) is the same mindset that carefully considers whether a 16k truck is really worth the expense.

If you start inflating expenses "because you have money", you don't become the old guy with lots of money in the bank.
> The main issue is access.

Access isn't the root problem though: ask yourself why anybody wants to pay money to speak to those charlatans.

The root problem is that the politicians can control who the winners and losers are. So long as that variable exists, any attempt to stamp out corruption is like trying to drain water out of a bathtub with a bucket that has a hole in it.

> politicians should be forced to use ONLY public funding for political campaigns

Maybe there's a good answer to this, but this sounds like a way to ensure that the Democrat/Republican duopoly continues indefinitely. Certainly Greens, Libertarians, and others are going to qualify for public funding in exactly the same way as they qualify for debate appearances.

Hi guys!

Over the past two weeks I've been tinkering with NFTs and found out that most of them do not store their images on the blockchain: they're fully editable after mint. I thought this was against what most people believe NFTs to be, so I built a site to explore this problem. You can enter any ENS wallet or any Opensea NFT link and it will analyze it to tell you if the NFTs are immutable or not.

I also wrote a blog post [1] explaining the problem in a bit more detail.

Happy to answer any questions and hear your feedback!

"Airbus says Qatar is trying to squeeze money out of it for aircraft underutilized during the pandemic"

Yeah that's sounds pretty obvious to me. They have unused inventory, and they are trying to get a refund. Not sure it's a good strategy though.
Not to mention that the article at the end says that is mixed with multiple countries including China etc. This chart is meaningless if you are mixing countries with different costs of living. A PHP dev even making 20K USD/Year in an Asian country is much better off than a dev making 70K in US (on an average).
Touchscreen engineer here. There is no such thing as an 'off-the-shelf' capacitive touchscreen.

There is always custom engineering to match the customer's housing and bezel, tune the analog characteristics to the electrical environment, and handle other requests like a safer/thicker cover glass, optical bonding to the LCD, and low friction or hydro/oleophobic coatings on the surface.

Again, completely dishonest. Adults are not being policed on any other type of vaccination right now. You're not being forced to show polio vaccination status when you go to a restaurant. You're not being forced to prove flu vaccination to keep your job.

That's like suggesting the rebellion in the American British colonies wasn't actually tax related because those kinds of issues had "never come up before". There's a threshold of what people will tolerate, and when that threshold is passed people will rebel.

When you threaten a person's food, housing, or family that person will go down fighting. The mandates in Canada essentially outlaw working for those who are unvaccinated. Trudeau has made it abundantly clear that the "thumb-screws" approach to vaccines was going to be his only gambit. If the government can make not being vaccinated uncomfortable enough, then more people will get vaccinated.

Similar approaches have been tried all across the world, to similar effect. Europe, especially Eastern Europe and the Nordic countries have seen massive protests as the measures for vaccines have become more strict.

People generally will not tolerate threats against the things they value most.
Social media companies only work when they attract a mass of people, who could have been spending their time elsewhere or on another site. Does this imply a responsibility on the part of the social media company to their early users who were promised one thing but received another?

In my experience undergraduate math textbooks are not like that at all. Perhaps for the introductory calculus sequence, but rarely for anything upper-division.

Yes I anticipate a large recession upcoming.
My plans for getting laid off include a long sabbatical until the political situation becomes less tenuous (I'm not vaccinated and have no plans to do so, I'm not going to wrangle with some HR chick over this either).
I have saved enough for about a year, if I'm not working or earning at all, I wish I had a bit more and will for as long as I'm employed, but don't anticipate that to last much longer.
This recession is a bit different than others; as the culture has devolved into factions so badly; however I would wager that the same businesses that performed well during '09-12 will perform well now.
I mean this is what companies build up revenue for, to be able to set prices when inflation happens. Googles services are undeniable. Now they are in position to start justifying their high multiples.
A small interesting detail: the 1630 painting of Old London Bridge shown in the video (at 2:07) can also be seen here on Flickr.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/vikingman/35359854511

At the start of the bridge you can some spikes and blobs displayed. What are they?

> "At the southern end of London Bridge, close to the riverbank, stands Southwark Gate. De Jongh [Dutch artist Claude de Jongh] has depicted the skyline bristling with the severed heads of traitors, displayed on spikes as a warning to citizens and visitors. The first unfortunate person whose head was displayed at Southwark Gate was the Scottish knight William Wallace, executed in 1305. Over the centuries, the heads of many more famous traitors were so displayed, including the rebel Jack Cade, Henry VIII’s former Lord Chancellor Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell and Guy Fawkes.

> Maintaining this macabre spectacle was the job of the ‘Keeper of the Heads’. He was responsible for first preserving the heads by parboiling and coating them in tar, and then impaling them for display. After two to three weeks, he removed the weathered skulls from view and discarded them in the Thames.

Preferential treatment of anti-democratic messages and rhetoric or anti-US sentiment.

This should be measurable.
I don't see how bringing up gender in an effort to dismiss criticism helps in anyway. It is irrelevant, unless the point she is trying to make is something like "men are often mean on twitter" which could be true, but doesn't have anything to do with Safari.

It is insulting, because any man who reads it will think their criticism of Safari will be dismissed, not because its invalid, but because of their gender.

No, the question was what in crypto isn't a scam.

Whitelisted counterparties borrowing and lending to each other without having to trust a third party to intermediate, such as fedwire, swift, or dtcc, is clearly not a scam. It's a b2b product with at least 30 sizable informed and willing institutional participants. They could take their capital anywhere else in financial markets but choose to take it to Aave.

It's the same platform Aave offers anyone else on Ethereum, polygon, arbitrum, and other chains coming soon. The customers of the arc product have a regulatory compliance burden that arc solves for them but the tech is the same.
I'm going to second this one, and add that diagrams are a real weak point for accessibility in general, one which using textual drawings exacerbates.

PlantUML is readable by screen readers and contains the same information as the diagram it generates, which is the optimal balance between using visual diagrams as part of software development while not excluding the vision-impaired completely in so doing.

To be clear, I'm not scolding anyone for using ASCII diagrams, especially given that code remains stubbornly text-only. Just boosting awareness of PlantUML in terms of its accessibility advantages. I can mention meaningful diffs in version control as another advantage!

Yes, I probably should have used numbers from a large diesel rather than an automobile engine. Wow, the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C operates at speeds as low as 15 RPM! That is just mind-boggling. I found this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXHvY-zY9hA

Still, I think you will find that even this doesn't help all that much. A cycle time measured in seconds rather than milliseconds is still orders of magnitude away from what can presently be achieved.

> the difference between a prototype investigation being constantly modified for experimentation and analysis and a production system built to purpose.

AFAICT, no one has ever built an ICE that is within even an order of magnitude of realistic operating parameters of a fusion ICE. It's a whole 'nuther level of engineering challenge beyond just getting the fusion itself to work. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'll give you long odds against seeing it happen in any of our lifetimes.
Going in the wrong direction with development that can never work as intended is always a waste no matter how good the goal. Incorrectly reporting this modest incremental change is the kind of thing that allows doomed projects like this to consume vast resources of money, material and skilled labor that could be used to explore other alternatives.
I didn't really get the example, futex is itself a syscall, so how does implementing mutex in terms of futex help you create a "fast userspace" mutex? The example presented looks to do almost nothing in userspace. Am I missing something?
Is 2FAing everything in our life really the way to go? I'm 2FAing so many times each day -- work, email, entertainment, banking, etc. And if you ever change an element of your life, like moving to a new house, it's bonkers for a few days.

What comes after 2FA-everything?
I think it's both. It's a much smaller portion of your life, and a much, much smaller portion of the novelty.
> I assume governments have models to make decisions about utility now vs utility later, and the way that trades off with cost now vs cost later.

I'm curious where this assumption comes from. It seems more likely that it would be made on intuition of what story will seem most defensible to voters or avoid the angry scrutiny of a legislator.

If decisions were made with the high level of rationality you point to, it seems unlikely that the US would have problems like this:

Looking at your username lets consider a question such as "Should we pay additional money to design London's new Elizabeth Line with step-free access at all stations?"

for such a model to answer such questions, we would need a way to accurately count costs. If could do that, then the line would already be open.

Undergrad math degrees pay off pretty well. As a group math degrees are second after engineering degrees for highest median starting and lifetime salary for people with only an undergraduate education.

Relevant graphs on pages 12, 13, and 19. Math, statistics, and computer science are lumped in together on pages 12 and 13, but the graph on page 19 shows that the median salary for all three is very similar.

Thanks for your thoughtful, well-worded comment. Despite my poor wording, then awkward attempt at irony or humor ("I'm usually right"), I think we are in agreement. I strongly support the bill of rights, and the principles underlying the Constitution. Much could be said there.

I am not trying to be contentious, and can be wrong or stupid at times, but maybe there is an exception (or penalty) for some intentional lying from a position of trust. Like, a hired lifeguard buying insurance then saying "there are no dangers", when he knows the beach is closed due to an infestation of sharks, pollution, and whirlpools, which he has also just seen. Or maybe that is not called mere speech. Still....
that's perfect analogy, since most fruit & nuts are multi-generational projects.

As a former iOS dev (retired, now doing MacOS/Web only) I also spend most of my time in Safari. Sure it has issues, but iCloud Private Relay is very nice, and iCloud Keychain is very convenient across all my Apple devices.

Chrome might have fewer issues, but feeding the Google Ad engine is not a feature I care for much. I use it when something refuses to work in Safari, like for some reason paying my water bill online.
It's nice that it maximizes "growth" but it's just a curiosity. It's useful because it maximizes a utility function which might for many situations be similar to log. There is little reason to ever try to maximize growth. It's also confusing. Utility of money is a simple concept people can understand and apply at personal or business level. Growth? Why would anyone try to maximize that?

I feel we had this conversation in the past and it feels to me you're a bit stuck in thinking about it the backwards way.
