Lost me at "you should drink 2L of water." No. You should drink when thirsty. Too much water is in fact bad for you. In addition, that advice is to get people to buy bottled drinks, because what is called tap water in much of the West, mostly the Americas, is brine. You can't drink it without beginning to crave unsalted water, water without sodium flourine, a salt. Because regulations in USA forbid any district from distributing water, that forces everyone (except those with access to well water) to buy bottled liquids, which conveniently are allowed to use purified water. This despite the fact that many of these bottled liquids contain the sugar that is the obvious culprit of tooth decay, in the name of which tap water was salted. Really the law should be any liquid with sugar in it should itself contain the sodium fluoride that would protect teeth from that sugar. People who don't drink "sugar water" deserve the right to running water.
Thank you for saying that. It's rather lonely on my high horse sometimes so I appreciate the acknowledgement.

> presume there should be some sort of power available at the gate too, no?

There is and there isn't. The gate controller does have power, but the manual says not to tap into it, and it's fed low voltage a/c from a transformer elsewhere. The SDSL modems are usually too big to fit inside the box with the controller too (and it's metal, which makes wifi not an option). And, of course, it's only nice to have, so limited desire to make things fit or drill holes for antennas.

GCP has been in the cloud business since 2008, two years after aws launched. They clearly were in a position to predict AWS’s profit margins before AWS publicized them given they were competing for same customers.
It’s only condescending, because you’re assuming a social hierarchy where software development is more prestigious or desirable than one of the trades and that physical labor is harder than non-physical labor. The implication then is that a software developer wishing to become a plumber is ungrateful for their “better” job and naive for wanting a “harder” and “worse” job mistakingly believing it to be easier.

Would you feel the same way about a plumber wishing for the job software developer? Would you call out a plumber for being condescending in wishing for the “easy” job of a software developer?

The more accurate interpretation is that all people have frustration with their job and start to imagine an alternative that would eliminate the frustrations.
Cryptocurrencies have one of essentially two different accounting models:

The account model: These networks have accounts and balances. You make a tx sending tokens from one account to another. It looks like normal banking more or less.

The UTxO model: These networks don't have accounts at all. Instead they have what are called "Unspent Transaction Outputs" or UTxO. Every transaction takes in a set of UTxO and outputs a set of UTxO. All the balances of assets in the inputs must sum up to the same values as the assets in the newly created UTxO and you can only ever spend a UTxO once. To spend a given UTxO some criteria must be met. The most often criteria is some signature that only validates with the public key of the private key being used to sign the Tx. This also can be generalised to other multi-signature schemes or even to supporting smart contracts (via policy ids and script refs/hashes).

Ethereum really was the network to push the account model into the forefront and now most networks choose to implement this over the UTxO model due to the ease with which you can get good UX and dev experience. Bitcoin, Bitcoin forks (SW or chain forks), Monero, Cardano, Ergo, Nervos, IOTA 2.0, and a few others use the UTxO model or some extension of it (ex: EUTxO or the Cell Model). One of the big upsides of the UTxO model is that all state is kept local instead of global however this local state also adds a number of complexities that make the model unintuitive to many.

------

So to answer your question: You'd create a Tx from your wallet. This Tx would consume some set of UTxO based on what you want to do and would then produce a number of UTxO going to any number of "accounts". In many UTxO networks, derivative keys are supported and you can give each person you want to receive money from a different derivative public key/address. If they were to send you money, it would go to your derivative address and it would be completely independent from all the rest of your UTxO until you do something on chain to tie them together (say by a delegation Tx in a PoS network, by merging UTxO, or by using UTxO from multiple derivative addresses in one Tx).

As for how you'd that the UTxO is valid: Essentially it just needs to exist on chain and not already been spent somewhere else. Monero for example uses this to their advantage with the "sum to 0" rule to provide a zero knowledge non-interactive proof that a given Tx must be valid without knowing the contents, sender, or recipients.

Yeah right that's why devices with cameras always looked like this, that certainly didn't start when one company made this particular design moronically hip, and the rest of the sheep followed. Lenses were apparently square before that, what do you know.
I think the Raspberry Pi style cameras would be the standard, but so far as I know, it’s all still home built gear based on modules that you can buy. I’m not aware of anyone selling an all-in device that just needs to be installed, and only requires configuration and physical installation, and then ongoing monitoring.

If you’re looking for commercial standards based cameras (e.g., the ones that implement ONVIF), you have to be careful. The Chinese companies Dahua and HikVision have hundreds, maybe even thousands, of brands that they sell under. And both of these companies have been implicated in selling hardware and services to the Chinese government for exploitation and suppression of the Uighur Muslim minority population.

I hear a lot about "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, but I've never read it.
Tableau is my go-to too. People think of Tableau as a dashboarding tool (and it is), but it's actually a multidimensional exploratory data analysis tool. You can visualize more than 3 dimensions by way of colors, labels, sizes, etc. You can slice and dice your data and visualize it in so many different ways, and also do drill-downs and filters and aggregations in different ways. The downside is that you have to really understand SQL-like operations (GROUP BY, PARTITION BY, PIVOT) to truly take advantage of its power. Many Tableau users only scratch the surface of what Tableau can do, but there's a lot more underneath.

PowerBI on the other hand is a straight up dashboarding tool. I've used it and it isn't quite as powerful as Tableau, but it's an easier step up from Excel. It doesn't require you reorient your mindset as much as Tableau does. But it also doesn't let you probe your data as easily as Tableau does. It's essentially a supercharged Excel dashboarding tool

Excel viz is rudimentary. It gets the job done for simple plots, but it's a hassle to join data (you have to do cell VLOOKUPs or INDEX(MATCH())) and pivot tables are a poor-man's approximation of the true power of SQL operations. It doesn't scale to large datasets but the cell-based spreadsheet paradigm (vs. a relational database paradigm) is easy to understand which has an appeal of its own. But you're ultimately limited to what fits on a spreadsheet.

I still think the issue from 2016 is worth reading, as the issue was closed on the basis of being a duplicate, but as a commenter on the issue points out:

> Because all the refernced duplicate discussion threads trying to solve this are locked (why?), I'm raising my voice for this here.

This is indicative of a project which not only resisted supporting users without Google Play services, but also resisted people questioning their decision. Two days after that plea, without any further explanation:

> @signalapp locked and limited conversation to collaborators

Of course an issue tracker isn't a discussion forum, but a good project team would have taken an extra couple of seconds to point issue reporters and commenters to an FAQ answer (assuming they had an answer that would withstand scrutiny).

Anyway, my point is that despite the supposed merits of centralisation, people had to beg (and be met with silence) before the project deigned to grant this reasonable request. This is not the sort of permissionless innovation that free software is supposed to enable.

Similarly, although Signal may have relented and made an .apk file available (perhaps due to pressure from more innovative and user-respecting platforms like Matrix), their stubbornness is still apparently preventing F-Droid from distributing it. Here's a better link to support that claim:

That's true but inaccurate (in the same sense as "wearing a seatbelt doesn't guarantee you'll survive a car crash").

COVID-19 vaccination doesn't guarantee a person cannot become infected or infectious. It significantly diminishes spread (a person stricken with the virus and extremely symptomatic is more contagious than a person who is carrying the virus but asymptomatic; mechanically, coughing, sneezing, and gasping for air with fluid-filled lungs sprays more virus-laden particles into the air; it also seems likely that a vaccinated person who picks up an infection throws fewer virus particles in regular breathing, though the studies that I've seen seem to have mixed results on that).

The other reason to vaccinate people is load on medical services; even if someone who is vaccinated is infected, the odds they'll get so symptomatic they wind up in the hospital go way down. Hospitals filled with COVID-19 patients have far fewer resources to dedicate to "everyday" emergencies (heart attacks, car crashes, etc.)... The result being that COVID-19, left unmitigated, can cause systemic collapse of a country's health infrastructure and resulting death due to preventable conditions (because there's nobody available to prevent them).

It's easy to forget (now that most people are vaccinated) how virulent this virus is, and how severe the symptoms are, unmitigated. There's a good reason the world medical community snapped into action on this one.

> is one claim I am not familiar with (usually I hear “psychologically addictive”, like any pleasurable activity), but maybe I am out of date on the latest research.

That's because there is a lot of misinformation spread by stoner types that try to rationalize cannabis usage as "non-addictive". Speaking as a former stoner myself (with nothing against smoking, I just don't partake anymore).

Cannabis use can absolutely cause physical dependence. It can absolutely "cause" (be part of) psychological dependence. It can absolutely be part of a pattern of addiction. The idea that weed is "not addictive" is simply propaganda.

Now, it is true that when compared to drugs like benzodiazapenes, alcohol, and opioids, that cessation of long-term cannabis consumption causes much less severe side effects. You don't get seizures from stopping weed abruptly. But there are absolutely still withdrawal symptoms.

TL;DR: It's a myth that cannabis is a magic plant that one can't get addicted to. It's basically a cope put forward primarily by internet stoners.

In a past NFT discussion an HN'er commented that "NFTs are the world's most convoluted and expensive way to store a bookmark."[0]

But it is plausible to store low-resoltion low-color-depth bitmap "art" like a cryptopunk on a blockchain. Based on the image in the tweet, the cost of a raw encoding may be 24x24x3 = 1728 bits which would cost 1728/256 * (20000gas * $0.0018) = ~$243USD on the Ethereum blockchain which isn't all that expensive if the NFT gains traction.[1]

Can someone confirm. Does a cryptopunk's complete image data exist on the blockchain ? Perhaps that partly explains why it gets higher valuations than other arguably more creative art projects.

> What's the incentive for a platform to choose to be a provider?

Because it would give them legal protection from being responsible (to a degree) for what their users post.

To be clear: they enjoy these protections today.

If I upload copyrighted material to Reddit, then Reddit themselves cannot be sued for simply hosting it (assuming they take it down when notified).

If I upload a libelous set of statements to Reddit, then you can't sue Reddit themselves for libel.

What I'm saying is that if Reddit wants to heavily moderate and editorialize the content on their website then they should lose those protections.

I'm advocating for making them pick: either you can moderate speech as much as you like but you are responsible for the end product _or_ you can't moderate speech and you're not responsible.

In my view the problem is that today they are allowed to moderate speech as much as they like but have no responsibility for what they say.

This would never fly in a traditional news organization for instance. If NPR has one of their anchors play copyrighted material on air - NPR themselves are responsible. If the Wall St. Journal publishes someone's column that contains truly libelous about someone then Newscorp can get sued.

Borg was good enough that google engineers didn’t have any desire to use GCP and thus most of the company was not dogfooding its own product.

Additionally, the “two pizza teams” style of Amazon’s development was more amenable to the AWS model of development where each piece of Amazon could run effectively in AWS [1]. Google is structured differently, and it’s only recently that both AWS and GCP could even approach running the largest systems from a company like Google.

[1] Yes I know that AWS wasn’t built specifically for Amazon engineers, but the fact that it could accommodate them over time has been a boon for their cloud, and it gives enterprises confidence that of AWS’s strategic importance and desire to make it world class. There isn’t a large hidden layer of services that Amazon has access to that the general public doesn’t.

I did grow up in an era and place where I learned electrical and carpentry ("ok students, in order to have the photography class we need to build a dark room"). So, I do know a bit about basic techniques, but would probably take some classes to refresh my knowledge and learn the "right way".
