You need to remember that nobody really knew what software would use this data. There’s a famous quip from Eric Lander about the genome: it’s like having a dictionary for a language we don’t understand.
I was very interested by the question, and closed the page after skimming through the first screen: why is there any need to scenarize? why would I want to read about some guys in a bar? Can't we make it interesting to talk about what it really means for a device to "listen on port x"? In my experience (listening to Collège de France podcasts), any topic, even the most obscure and narrow field of knowledge, say "Late Babylonian scriptures as seen by Ibn Amhoud during 8th Century" (invented), can be made a thrilling experience if the speaker is really passionate and knowledgable about it. But there is never any need to start by a conversation at starbucks: one just dive in head first. </rant>
No one cares about idea theft. Ideas are generally worthless, unless you actually patent them. And only a small fraction of ideas are even patentable.

Official sources are often the least trustworthy for news.

Phones had navigation before they had GPS chips based on cell location. Standalone GPS navigation devices with similar form factors to phones existed as well. And GPS dongles for laptops allowed turn-by-turn navigation back when an iPhone was a bulky thing that sat on a desk and dialed into a landline ISP.
Well, yes, hypothetical vulnerabilities can break any form of security, but without the same-origin policy, they don't even need another vulnerability.
>> 1000 USD bills exist but are very rare.

Technically, $500, $5000, and $10000 also exist in private collections. They were last printed in 1945, and stopped being issued in 1969. They're worth far more than their denomination to collectors, understandably.

Also, technically, $100k bills exist. They, however, were printed during the Great Depression and intended solely for transfers between federal reserve banks, and were never circulated. It's illegal to hold them privately, though there are some museums and things that have one.
Doesn’t sound as batteries included as Django can be OOTB. You should be able to touch a database, setup templates and users without installing anything outside of Django. Which you absolutely can. Not sure the framework in question is this seamless.

Because price/cost is completely disjoint in this partially deregulated, completely gamed market.

When we recognized power as the utility function it is, and funded it as public utility capital investment for specific defined LOW ROI a lot of this problem goes away. Until then, no player in a supply chain except at the one specific end which has the least power and discretionary control (ie you and me, the clients) has any motive to change this.

I prefer Monte Carlo simulations. I think they do a better job of representing the possible futures based on the limited data we have from the past. But most of them are way slower than they ought to be. So I made a fast one. Just for my own use, so the UI is terrible. But it might be interesting to play around with anyway: https://james.darpinian.com/money/

It does a million simulations instantly as you drag the sliders around so that you can compare scenarios as fast as you can move your mouse. It also can optimize for any variable to answer questions like "how many years of work are needed to pay for each $10k increase in retirement budget". Someday when I have time I'll put a real UI on it.
> To me, an individual TCP port + IP is, effectively, giving me a 'virtual uart'.

It's not, though. A single destination can have an arbitrary number of sockets/uarts connected to it. You can server on port 80, and accept a connection from 127.0.0.1 and from 192.168.100.23 and from 10.98.54.4 and from anywhere else on the internet and have them all operating simultaneously. And in fact each destination port can have many connections to the same IP and port combination, discriminated by the source port which is a number the programmer generally never sees (unless you bind it specifically, it's automatically assigned).

It's exactly that kind of almost-right-but-not-quite mental misrepresentation that the article is trying to address.

Interesting article on the history of Perl for bioinformatics.

As someone who is currently a bioinformatics PhD student, Perl has become the vinyl of programming languages. While some older folks script with Perl, most packages I’ve seen published recently use either R, python, c++, and more recently, rust.
HN allows us all to link to our own sites, and so far I think that that's a saving grace for credibility... Although mysteriously, many very strong conversations don't make it into the cue of awareness, so that is something that could use a bit of work. Overall, I think throughout the years HN has been a quite reliable site for news and interesting topics from people who think for me... Much better than most subreddits I'm subbed to. I wish they would have scaled it into other sub-topics other than IT like my primary industry (music making)...

But then it would probably just turn into another reddit as well. Also, some of the features like saving threads, and a quicker way to view profile posts, and a solid native search method would do wonders.
I thought it was a biblical reference: https://www.bible.com/bible/111/NUM.21.NIV

tldr: if you're bitten by a bronzelook at a copper snake wrapped around a pole and you'll live

> 6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

I think it's actually more like blueprints for a factory we don't understand. The code tells the body how to run bio fab works and we don't understand what tools will be printed and how they work and what modifications the code changes will make to the tools, the factory that builds them, etc.

It would probably be simpler if it were like a language.
Nobody is denying the beatings, I was focusing specifically on the statement "shot and killed".

There have also been no substantiated rumors that any mainlanders ever participated under a false flag. Only ever innuendo.
Mostly true, but there is always nagging truths that surface at which point denial becomes worse for them. It all depends on what they are allowed to get away with; if other states balk vs capitulate, there are more rounds of diplomatic chess to go through.
I don't believe jailbreaking qualifies as white hat.
Yes, you should drink when you’re thirsty, and forcing yourself to drink some arbitrary quantity of water every day is probably pointless. But water without any dissolved minerals is also bad for you, and many bottled brands add other salts (eg calcium chloride) to filtered water for flavor. I’ve also never experienced the phenomenon you describe where water with sodium fluoride fails to satisfy my thirst. While I certainly prefer the flavor of filtered water, drinking tap water doesn’t make me crave any other drink. Has there been any research done on this topic?
You are fooled "survivorship" bias (ironically in this case: people who died and had articles written about them).

> "They found men who had reached the age of 40 in 2014 and were in the top 10% in household income could expect to live to 88 years old. For those that were in the bottom 10%, life expectancy was just 76. This means that the richest Americans live 12 years longer than the poorest."

This post and the comments are really subpar for HN.

1. Local storage is not going away. Local playback via SD card is still fully supported. Only the event clips which are stored in the cloud are "going away".

2. You can sign up for Cam Lite for free and end up with MORE functionality than before (person detection, longer clips, etc). You don't even need to provide a payment method, you just have to get past their pop-up guilting you into paying to cover the storage costs.

3. You can't find the playback option for viewing from your SD card? It's the giant colorful button on your app that says "view playback" when watching your live stream... how can you miss it?

I am not affiliated with Wyze in any way but I do own about a dozen of their cams (v1, v2 pan, and v3). They are fantastic for the price and have been more reliable than other more expensive ones I'm bought. They are also one of the few that provide an SD card slot. Their software is regularly updated and the app is solid. They don't use hostile user flows that push you to pay for their cloud services aside from the events being stored in the cloud.

You can also find OSS firmware that you can easy flash onto them that removes all the cloud features and keeps everything local.

You might be tempted to say some of the following:

- But Reddit has an API, and lots of third-party clients!

- But you can just use https://old.reddit.com or https://i.reddit.com instead!

The problem is that the user-hostile trends of current Reddit (e.g. locking the user out and prompting them to install an app) make it apparent that most of these workarounds and such are going to be made invalid in, say, the next 5 years. Even if they do survive, they will be mothballed and largely inaccessible to someone who is starting to use Reddit today. As it IPOs, these user-hostile patterns driven by people who focus on next quarter's returns to the exclusion of all else are only going to increase.

So I agree with Karl's conclusion here – don't contribute anything relevant to forums that aren't decentralized to start off with.

What do I suggest as an alternative?

This is just my personal opinion, but I think email lists the most accessible decentralized substitute. It's 2022, and we have much better techniques to apply to spam filtering. I will take the tradeoff of the occasional spammy email for having my conversations with others archived under my own control without a ton of effort (I can just use regular old OS tools like Mail, Outlook, and such instead of the more complex information management efforts built by more dedicated folks.
The cost is irrelevant. The question is, what is the return? Considering that close to all the other ads were generic and forgettable, Coinbase did stand out. Will that yield a return? We'll see.

I remember taking a bike maintenance class where the instructor said that mechanical wheelbuilding has not reached the level of quality of hand wheelbuilding (maybe he even said "has not approached").

Since this part of the thread is kind of about that question, I would like to ask: how come? Isn't machines' consistency something that could be very useful here? And if not, couldn't tools like the one presented by the original post help the machines reach a high standard?
We almost certainly should be more worried about the risks here, because climate change is very likely to alter the transmissability of many diseases, zoonotic or not, and we have far higher social mobility than in previous decades.

Right at the point in time bacterial infection risks are also rising because of the decline in viability of many antibiotics.

"Oh, but the risk here is about viruses not bacteria" you say. Well guess what many people who are placed on ventilation, or any kind of intrustive breathing assistance, inside hospitals get...
HN without people contributing relevant things would suck. I get it, they have some idealized idea of what they want the internet to be and how people should interact, how information should be shared, blah blah. But the places and culture that end up encouraging people to contribute can be quite different from this "ideal", and sure it has flaws, and sure we can try and do things to improve things, but I kind of don't care, I like finding places on the internet that have people who love contributing, that something about that wee corner of the internet does a better job of creating that kind of culture than other corners.
Generally, for recreational web use, I never use Javascript, or even CSS. I prefer to use a text-only browser.

There are websites that apparently have "paywalls", but without Javascript, I do not even know these "paywalls" exist. I read every article on a website without any indication of any limitations.

The NY Times and The Economist are examples. What people refer to as "paywalls" are simply Javascript annoyances. One has to run the Javascript to experience the annoyance.

Perhaps the "privilege" of running the website's Javascript is a "benefit" of subscription. However I would not run the Javascript regardless of whether I was subscribed or not. That choice has nothing to do with the idea of "paywall". I choose not to run Javascript on any website. This improves the web experience for me in too many ways to count.

News publications could approach susbscription as (a) access versus (b) no access, e.g., password-protection. Yet some publications approach subscription instead as (a) access without Javascript annoyances versus (b) access with Javascript annoyances. Of course (b) only applies if one chooses to run the Javascript.

Every web user has the option not to run other people's code, i.e., Javascript.

The access model that scientific journals use seems to work well enough. Access is granted to an IP address. If the subscriber is on a different IP address, she can get access through a password-protected proxy.

I contribute to Askhistorians occasionally, which specializes in long form, long term answers in response to queries. It's a useful thing, but the "value proposition" as it were fundamentally relies on having large numbers of readers to attract subject matter experts and users with interesting questions. I've experienced everything listed.

With that said, none of it matters because the model breaks down without the userbase. You can't move to an alternative because the historians aren't there, even if the questioners are. Even if you convince a subset of them to move, churn will eventually kill it anyway. The whole thing also needs to broadly in the flow of mainstream internet culture to make it useful.

So what's the alternative?

Anything that was reliable in up-time suddenly becomes legacy I guess.

What Do I Mean With Web-Based Forums Here?
In this article, I'm using the term "web-based forums" as an umbrella term
for closed, centralized services like Reddit, *Hacker News*, Slashdot,
Facebook, or any other web-based forum where you are able to add comments,
articles, and so forth in most cases only after creating an account.
American Chestnuts that have gained resistance to blight via selective breeding, hybridization with a different species, or insertion of a different gene are all genetically modified. The only difference is the source of the modification. Starting a comment with the inflammatory statement "Releasing GMO chestnuts will contaminant the gene pool forever, it's a bad idea" doesn't serve the discussion well.

Humans are really good at throwing environmental pressure (logging) after environmental pressure (chestnut blight) after environmental pressure (urban air pollution) after environmental pressure (global warming) at species. The speed with which these pressures arise is faster than natural selection can deal with for most species, and are leading to an extinction event rather than species just learning to adapt. If we can make minor direct genetic modifications to help species cope, I think it's an unqualified win.
