This is a great video, well worth 8 minutes of your life.

I did post-graduate study of Blake in school, and have one of his engravings tatooed on my leg. There’s some interesting context that the video doesn’t have time for:

He said that his engraving and printing technique was dictated to him in a dream by his dead brother Robert. It is, as the video says, without precedent and immensely time-consuming.

He printed almost entirely in orange, not the black that the video showed. Orange was his favorite color. The light printing also enabled him to paint over the printings, something he did before selling each work.

He made and sold very few copies in his lifetime. He printed only about 50 copies of his most popular work, “Songs of Innocence and Experience.” His largest work, Jerusalem, has only five copies with only “Copy E” being fully colored.

Very few of his engraved plates still exist. He was poor and copper was expensive, so after printing he would often melt his plates to make new works.

You can see all of this in a single plate, the 4rd sheet of Jerusalem — http://www.blakearchive.org/copy/jerusalem.e?descId=jerusale...

Imagine engraving that tiny cursive by hand, and reversed. The work he put into what he did was astounding.
These conversations are part of the PM being considered one of the team, being part of the daily stand-up and such. If there's tension between the devs and the PM, then the incentive structure is off, somehow.
I remember at some point in middle school in the early 90s we had typing instruction in the form of some sort of car drag racing video game. It was actually quite fun and motivated me to type correctly! The faster and more accurately you typed, the faster your car went. And you could use the money you won from winning to upgrade you car, or purchase faster ones.

Does anyone remember this?

> Agent Orange only existed because of consumer choice

I know how to fix politics using consumer choice - what if you could donate money to politicians, and whoever get the most money wins? Oh, wait..
Maybe it does but if so you haven't conveyed it very well. Are you arguing that Latin America is not exploited for its resources under the global system of capitalism? Because that's a pretty absurd position to take. You might even imagine how that exploitation could lead to revolutionary politics and the current state of affairs there.

But even if we take that as a given, "it didn't work uniformly in all directions in the same way" is not an argument that the relationship doesn't exist.

My assertion is that capitalism has always coexisted with systems that treat some people as sub-human, so can't be completely disentangled from them. You're going to have to work a lot harder to "disprove that argument," imo.
Ask HN: What's the difference in building website with Python vs .js?
I'd like to build a website in Python (using Flask or Django +embedded HTML&CSS), but was curious whether there are any things that Python can't perform and that different JavaScript frameworks can? Asking because I have multiple ad/tracker blockers installed in Mozilla like No-Script which block Javascipt, and it would be tiresome to test the site in such browser.
Is this to say you want zero page-loading of existing tabs on startup (if in fact you save your tabs across restarts)?

One thing I discovered about friendship is that it is a total illusion. Go inside any jail or prison and talk to the inmates. Anyone who has been incarcerated will tell you that 99.9% of your so-called dearest friends will immediately disappear and never call, write or put money onto your commissary account.

Then as soon as you get out they want to be friends again as if nothing happened and you weren't missing for years.

I know of the hundreds of friends I had, only one contacted me in the eight years I was locked up for being poor. Several of them even had the money to have me released on day one.

Friendship is not what you think it is. It is depressingly fickle. Friendship seems to be based entirely around what you can do for the other person, and once you're incarcerated it is clear you are of no social value. It sounds like I'm being hypercynical, but that's the reality of it.
This just gave me a newfound perspective about myself that I had been trying to find for so long. Ever since I started my job and COVID started weakening, I realised that I don’t need a lot of people I thought I did. Spending more time with the people I actually like was far more enjoyable than distributing it among all the people I expected to stay friend with.
> These builds have no FF branding and they've disabled auto-update in them but they have the major advantage of actually allowing you to edit your extensions/add-ons without having to play security theater with Mozilla's automated signing portal every time you make a change.

“Security” isn’t even the word I’d use for what extension signing seems to do. After all, full-out malware — the illegal stuff — can replace firefox.exe with their own.

What it really seems to be intended to protect against is legal-but-scummy applications like Oracle Java that installed random toolbars and add-ons that almost nobody wants. They can legally install an add-on, but patching Firefox itself would be a clear-cut trademark violation, so they won’t do that. Since the Java installer ran with the same permissions that a regular user runs as, they can’t really stop that thing without stopping you.

The phrase I’d use to describe this is brand protection, not security.
They’re almost always looking for known vulnerabilities dumbly - you’ll see one IP try fifteen-fifty different URL based attacks.

You seem to be suffering from the fallacy that hard work deserves high pay regardless of the usefulness of that work or the available labor supply. It's a very good thing that we pay people according to market rates in the long term because it continually optimizes production of good things that we all benefit from.

I'm sure making gravel with a hammer is even harder work, and it's a good thing that we don't pay people to do that.

In the short term it can screw over individuals who find themselves in the wrong type of work, but there are easy ways to protect against that too, for those that are worried enough.

We are still in the “pandemic reality” and just starting to transition out of it. If/when the majority of that 2/3 of people go back to the same office, remote employees will go back to being second class citizens.

Basically, I agree that your company is currently remote-first, even if they have offices and most people are in one location, but only time will tell if it stays that way after coming out of the pandemic (strongly depends on company culture and their policies).
But it's often not right to describe the animus "directly", if that's understood to mean (as they describe in the article) uncritically reporting what the people involved say about the conflict. The Troubles are the best English-language example, because there are piles and piles of primary source material with inflammatory and incompatible claims about the nature of the conflict. Was it religious, or racial, or linguistic, or geographic? All of the above and none, depending on who you ask. In fact, you'll note that "the Troubles" as a term is a response to the same issue - it would be extraordinarily unhelpful if news organizations felt obligated to choose between calling the conflict "IRA terrorism" or "British colonial aggression", even though basically every participant believed one of those two terms to be more accurate and precise.

I guess to some degree it does depend on what their purposes are, because there's value in understanding what average people in the area are thinking. But it's hard to imagine a news organization that never needs to mention a conflict without taking a position on it, and easy to imagine an organization which silently glosses over the issue because they assume there's a right side and trust the sympathetic voices they're talking to are on it.
Citation needed. The addon certainly seems far less legitimate than Decentraleyes. For instance, who maintains this, why did they fork it, who has validated it isn't a malicious fork, etc etc. At least for Decentraleyes you have it being popular and "Recommended" by Firefox which puts a certain expectation to not be a flaming pile of malware.

You're thinking of Mercantilism, which was pretty much the established economic model at the time of Adam Smith. As I explained in my post, Mercantilism subscribed to a zero sum view of trade and economic activity. For one side of a transaction to gain the other side must lose, which fits with the master/slave relationship perfectly.

Capitalism is basically what Smith was promoting. The idea that individuals owning their own property, exercising those property rights through buying and selling their property, associating freely in commercial enterprises (companies) and trading with each other freely could benefit each other economically. This was radical at the time. It's no accident that the ascendency of this concept of individuals trading freely coincided with the abolitionist movement and eventually British outlawry and suppression of the Atlantic slave trade.

Proto-Capitalists like Smith were vehemently against the monopolistic nationalised trading companies that operated imperial colonies as extractive enterprises. Smith himself, aside from opposing slavery on moral grounds, believed that slave labour would always be more expensive than free labour because a slave has no incentive to increase their productivity.

You are quite right to criticise colonialism as abusive and extractive, but that wasn't Capitalism.

Do you ever reply with the word STOP?

I am finding it hard to believe that you are getting so much even during election season.

How many candidates could possibly be running in your district? You got Congress, Senate, Presidential and possibly low level positions (typically most of those are so unorganized/poor that they usually don't even have a website, just a facebook post).

A candidate has to pay money to acquire a list of contacts from their party. Most smaller upstart campaigns are operating on almost no money. (For example AOC had a ~300k budget her first run vs her opponents 3 million. Most of that 300k arrived in the last month or so after she started getting momentum in activist circles). Most candidates are operating on FAR less than that throughout the whole campaign.

So I was a volunteer on multiple campaigns (some in NJ). The participation rate in primaries before texting was abysmal (like upper single digits) texting and other GOTV efforts have brought up the rate to double digits (12-15%). Thats enough to swing some elections but it is still terrible participation.

All this crap is a result of people not caring whatsoever who gets elected. Something has to be done to try and enact change in this damn country. If you really hate it then remove your party registration/don't donate. Im a registered Democrat and have never once received Republican inquiries and for Democrats reaching out, texting STOP reduces the rate until I receive at most one or two new inquiry per election cycle(essentially 0).
My suggestion is to learn just high school amount of Differential Calculus, Linear Algebra. That much Statistics is not needed.

And do these the right way- forget about being able to prove stuff for test, or remembering the heuristics for solving problems in tests, or being able to pick the correct option from many in test.

Just forget how you studied for test. Learn limited things- very very deeply.

Learn why and how exactly each thing works. Each and every part.

The resources for these are-

1. Mathematics for Machine Learning: Linear Algebra (Coursera, Imperial)

2. - do - : Calculus

3. Essence of Linear Algebra Playlist: 3blue1brown

4. Essence of Calculus Playlist, Ibid

5. Khan Academy Statistics Playlist for High School

Again, understand each and every part very deeply.

This much Math is enough to get started with Machine Learning.

(You will need much much, much more if you want to be a Research Engineer or an Assistant Professor doing active research.

But you can chart your own path after a while.)

Then you start doing ML.

Then you learn whatever math is needed along the way.

Never, ever load your head with a bunch of math concepts just to "prepare" yourself for studying ML. I, very highly advise against it.

So,

Learn very basic stuff, but make the concepts crystally clear -> start doing ML -> learn more math as you face the need.

Learning math is a noble and worthy goal. But do not confuse it with "learning math so that I can study ML".
Alright. Let me make myself pink and lovable:

Russians are peace-loving democratic modern people that have a well developed civilization based on equal rights, laws, accountability, and intertwined checks and balances. They know no such thing as corruption and their leaders are justly elected representatives of the thriving Russian population, who contribute to peace and stability in the world. It's so great to be their neighbor and, generally speaking, in their sphere of influence as that alone guarantees you prosperity and safety from purges, famines, slavery in cold and remote concentration camps, war, death and destruction.

Fixed. How do you like it now?

I guess what I'm saying is you can't compare what "China" is doing to most western countries, which have a fraction of the population, so of course there will be fewer reactors, fewer roads, less housing, less production.

I'd say it's more fair to compare it to a region of equal population. People actually do stuff, and the more of them (especially educated ones) there are, the more stuff will get done.

People are the biggest resource these days, which western countries realized a long time ago (or maybe it's the other way around, western countries created this system?). Hence, immigration heavily in favour of the best from other parts of the world.

And higher concentrations of people are more productive and effective. Think cities vs rural areas.

After accounting for that and comparing, if your region (clump of people) is still losing, then you might have a real problem and should take notes from the other group.
I'm pleasantly surprised he was able to get the message out at all...

Per the article "He is able to publish social media posts through his lawyers and allies.".

Although this will be the last message that Russians will see from him on Instagram since Instagram will be banned in Russia as of March 14th (tomorrow).

Translation of his post....

"The most important people" is a stupid expression. Well, how do you define them? All important, and it is impossible to weigh all the factors that determine the importance of people.

In peacetime.

And now, I think, we can say that the most important people on the planet - those who in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities went out and will go again to anti-war rallies.Mad maniac Putin will most quickly be stopped by the people of Russia now if they oppose the war.

And it's a tough marathon. Fight for exhaustion. With fear and arrests. But it's definitely not a futile fight. Not a symbolic gesture of desperation.

Look even official, court sociology. They say 71% are for the war, 29% are against. Even if we believe it, it turns out that every third person supports the anti-war movement at the start. And this was before the war hit us too, with sanctions and economic disaster. Until the main horror of the war - coffins with sons returning to their mothers.

I am speaking to you as a viewer. Even the official figure of the losses of the Russian army - 498 people - was not mentioned on TV NEVER.

The picture of what is happening, drawn by Putin’s propaganda: there are almost no deaths on both sides, the Ukrainian army has fled, there is almost no destruction, “gangs of Nazis” have settled in some places, but they will soon be destroyed. Ukrainians meet Russian tanks with flowers.

To live such a picture of the world - even in the minds of the most stupid and stubborn - is not long.
It's not clear that "drawing lines" is a useful mental model in this scenario.

Speaking personally, it's about externalities: American suburbs have ludicrous amounts of common and private infrastructure, all financed through the lie of infinite and perpetual growth. All of that infrastructure has hidden externalities, ones that aren't being addressed on the individual or state levels. Monoculture lawns are just one tiny example of that, manifest in their cost to the local ecosystem (and additional water demands, pesticide use, &c.).

Ask HN: What's Next for Souls (FromSoftware)? An MMO?
After putting in over 100 hours on my two Elden Ring's characters it dawned on me that FromSoftware could easily / next move Souls into the MMO space. I know it's common to compare E.R. to Breath of the Wild (and I don't disagree), but for me this game feels more like Souls combat has been grafted onto WoW, in a good way. The vastness, the exploration, the 'holy shit' moments when you realize you just dropped into the wrong neighborhood (I ran Torrent right between TWO dragon's in Caleid last night... oops). Yeah, I just get a ton of WoW nostalgia more than anything playing Elden Ring and it got me thinking about how a Souls MMO could actually work.

I just don't know if it's something FromSoftware wants/needs to do, MMO's (I think?) aren't the huge money makers they use to be, but maybe the cost of building/hosting such a backend isn't as bad now that it's a somewhat known/solved thing(?).

Anyway... just taking a break and of course still thinking about ER too much.
I struggle reading Simon Sinek (I've only ready Start With Why) and it was so much fluff without in-depth concepts that were better explored elsewhere, he came across far too much as a pure marketer without actually understanding what he is talking about. I've lost all interest in reading his books but I frequently find them at the top of lists -- what do others get from them?
It is different because it is obvious that shadows are darker than in reality while highlights are much brighter than in reality.

Any brain filtering would have to affect the photos as well, even if it was true.

No common image format uses linear response. It would explain this problem if cameras treat them as linear.

Maybe they should just make the cameras take physically correct colors, instead of relying on people, as the typical person will always choose extreme contrast that will make the camera unusable. (and can be easily increased in editing)

Doing so is, in fact, the point of abolishing leap seconds.

Imagine that we have leap seconds, and the very worst case conceivable happens for an entire century. 100 summer leap seconds and 100 winter leap seconds, that's a total of just over three minutes by 2122.

Can we tolerate such a disruption to the lives of ordinary people? Try asking anybody who lives in a place with Daylight Saving or "Summer" Time. They have twenty times more disruption and that happens twice every single year.
It looks like a great project, but I'm afraid it exceeds the privacy protections rendering it somewhat unfeasible to be a primary browser.

uBO pre installed, telemetry turned off, etc are all great steps, but the lack of DRM, for example, makes it a deal breaker for me. Brave, despite their shady practices with their own ads and cryptocurrency, is at the sweetspot balance between privacy and functionality.

I find the time it takes to fine tune my Firefox worth the work, but Librewolf looks like a project I would gladly trust with good privacy defaults.
We have a hybrid model and it has worked well so far.

A handful of people go to the office because they prefer it that way and/or don't (want to) have a proper work setup at home.

The majority is fully remote, but have signed a hybrid contract so they can be called to the office if there is a need. The only need so far has been a going-away party that involved a case of whiskey =)
