If you republish it, how can someone know it is you and not me? It undermines the entire point about "ownership" in web3.

If wallets are disposable (i.e. you throw them away after a while to avoid tracking etc) then by definition you are throwing away ownership of your content too. They'll be locked away forever like all of satoshi's BTC.

As soon as you try to move content between wallets, you've immediately and irreversibly "linked" those wallets so you may as well have not bothered and just accept that every tiny iota of your online life is publicly open for anyone to track and monitor from your first ever website you viewed as a child right through to signing the contract on your funeral plans before dying of old age - linking wallets and identities will be cryptographically/mathematically bullet-proof (not to mention trivial) and so they'll be able to easily tie together your entire life via your wallets (unless you totally separate you wallets and so have multiple totally separate identities with zero overlap ... won't be easy for "real life" stuff like work or banking etc).

Have fun.
Back in college, I did a bit of "spying" for foreign companies. Nothing bad spirited, of course. They simply wanted me to photograph the entrance of the offices of local companies they partner with to see if the local company is at the address they claim to be.

It was a good pay for a very easy job.

However, considering that Kim Jong-un's brother was killed at the airport by making a civilian to spray neurotoxin on him under the pretext of a camera joke, I don't see why foreign entities wouldn't be able to hire unsuspecting citizens to do shady stuff(that can be plausibly explained as jobs).
Been there, done that. 2014: 20k lines of chef code, followed with tons of ansible yaml soup.

Containers are better.
New cost policies: catch mistakes and budget-breaking changes in CI
At least with Mary Kay you get some tolerable makeup out of it.
The state has a monopoly on money because they collect taxes. Try paying your taxes in BTC and tell me how that goes.
Guess it's time to chroot each project folder if you're using any package manager or external libraries. Though on second thought it's just a band aid as the damage which can be done after deployment is far worse than anything before.
I agree on the premises, it's nice to have an open standard - in practice the API available on the web is usually a downgrade in developer experience.

Think about the old node library request vs fetch, require vs import/import().
I hope deno has Buffers and I won't have to use atob / btoa.
I am a researcher at a national lab. I am pretty smart myself, and have worked with some exceptional people during my PhD and even now. Thing is, we have become so metrics and busy work obsessed that it's insane.

Fully 75% of my time is spent chasing money. Which means writing grants that have a 25% success rate (and I am told to be proud of that number, others have it worse), filling out monthly, quarterly and yearly reports for my grants and chasing the next grant. The science that I do is honestly now a break from all that bullshit.

And then the stupid obsession with metrics. I have technically more peer-reviewed journal papers than Einstein, and I am not even fit to touch that man's shoelaces - let alone tie them. If h-index is the only measure of scientific success, then don't be surprised if fools are what you get.

The system, all the way down from Congress is designed to fail - and we are acting surprised?
Uczyłem się żeby rozmawiać z rodzicami mojej dziewczyny.

Mainly to talk with my girlfriend's parents. I'm also 50% Polish but never spoke it growing up.
Not just any home country. I'm questioning that this ever happened to some person from Russia (except maybe Chechnya). Even so situation with human rights is bad, it is far from Taliban bad.
Wow... that's scary. But I think that when the article talks about water being "rotated", it's talking about individual water atoms, whose rotation would be too small to see.

I imagine that the waviness would actually be due to the change in refraction due to the microwave's uneven heating -- like the waviness seen in the air just above a hot road, or the faint ripples seen at the bottom of a pot of cold water, when you start to heat it on a stove.
What's the main safety concern for hydrogen?
We have an inflation which is about 8% while mortage rates on 30 year fixed are just 4.7% (15 year fixed are just 3.8%).

So I really do not understand logic here: how can bank give me money at rate 2x times lower than inflation.

Seems like free money (and it is no surprise that home prices are going thru the roof).

But I’m probably naiive here and do not understand how banking works.
> If you directly use nft from the chain

You can't "use nft". Nft is a crappy recipt that tells you that you spent some money. That is it.

In the absolute vast majority of cases the actual asset is some blob of data stored on a company's server somewhere.

Since we're in a subthread about using game items outside the game for which these items were specifically designed, good luck using your "nft" in "some big project".
What betamax effect? Didn't it fail since the cartridge design was worse and also held less tape than vhs?
I might not have properly understood this tool, but is the encryption key and iv getting reused? If so, it's usually quite unsafe to reuse IVs (but consult a cryptographer, YMMV). Feels weird to stuff the IV with the key, it should live with the ciphertext.

(I only glanced at the code for a few minutes, so I could be wrong: https://github.com/higgins/privatize/blob/0.1.1/index.js#L73)
Is there any adult alive who does not have a potentially disturbing sexual fetish? Even "asexuals" get tarred that way. So, you cannot distinguish them on that basis, even where it is true. (I know a trans person who is also a furry. Figure that one out!) It is of course possible that some subset of trans people are as you say. Is it your business to sort out which are and which are not?

What will you say about a trans person who is also "ace"? It is far from uncommon for people to come out as trans in their 70s, long after fetishes have lost their grip on most people.

So, if you are among that "overwhelming majority", you are just obviously wrong, on several counts.

> That comment described the machine doing the expressing, on demand, with minimal user input.

I only gave the machine two inputs. I don't think I'd stop there. I might in fact spend a lot of time with such a technology exploring all of the nooks and crannies of creation space.

We're not going to arrive at the "tell the computer what" fully declarative tech immediately. There's a path from here to there that still requires human involvement, just less of it spent on the mundane minutiae. Once we reach that point, we won't rest on our laurels.

Just as someone might tweak the directed graph of a plot and serialize it to text today, I'd expect them to have their hands in the "less hands on" systems of the future too. They just won't be drafting and editing prose. That'll be old school.
I'm really trying to understand how you can agree that 56% of people can't find $1k, and yet over 50% of people have $100k in assets.

I don't think we're looking at the same ~50% of people here...
There is a TC39 proposal for a standard library[1]. One of the ideas reserves a URL scheme built in modules. So to import from a language defined standard library you would use the "js" scheme (import Temporal from "js:temporal") and importing from the runtime you could potentially use e.g. "web" scheme (import AudioContext from "web:audio-context").

I really hope we will have something like that. It would both give us the option of never using magical globals and make the distinction clear whether the module comes from the language or the runtime. Although I can see a case where it could get annoying if you are writing for multiple runtimes and need to get e.g. fetch (import fetch from "runtime:fetch").

How did you get your Synology on Tailscale?

I have been pondering setting up Tailscale just to get remote access but I haven’t found good examples of people doing this.
That "not working" part has some nuance to it as well. How well do we predict ADME? Is there binding with some off target protein that makes it terrible? Maybe it just doesn't bind to the desired target at all.

Toxins don't have those constraints, its not even about regulation. Making something that's safe is way harder than making something that is not safe, purely because of the complexity involved in making the thing safe.
Yup. Henry Kissinger was a big part of that nonsense, along with a whole bunch of equally sinister stuff. The cluster bombings of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Korea were in many ways directly the result of his machinations.
Vancouver is not that diverse and doesn't have good public transport or bike infrastructure ? That's a first I hear.
The economy would collapse, along with the US government, at even moderately-high interest rates.

The federal government is $30t in debt. Even a small rise in interest rates would quickly make the entire federal budget servicing the debt.

Thank you so much for your interest and feedback!

I must tell you that we have thought of this too. And even though I cannot tell you we have a perfect solution, we have made a conscious effort to solve it and the way we address it is the following.

Yes, there is a limitation for Text questions, so for complex questions that need extensive or technical context Throw as you suspect may not be the best tool to use (at least not at this stage, we have more plans for later on).

However, there are so many use cases that may not need as profound context but still some context.

And the way we have enhanced this is by providing flexibility using media formats.

The users will be able to mix and match Text, Image, Audio, Video, Poll, Multiple Question and more. As an example a voice note may be most appropriate to some user and context and the user may very effectively sum up question and context, for some other an image poll mar be very self explanatory and like this there are multiple combinations that can be used.

One other thing to keep in mind is that people today are more prepared and used to summarize in digital platforms.

Take Twitter, where it was first thought ridiculous to function with a 120 character limit (today 280) but people adapted and became more efficient at communicating certain types of ideas.

I hope you find this interesting and even thought answer may seem defensive, I really appreciate your honest feedback!
I was born to expat parents far away from my home country - we came back just when I was about to start grade school. As an adult I spent 4 years in Italy which started off with my SO participating in a volunteer program and me tagging along because I secured a remote position, so I was flexible in terms of location.

The general conclusion is that you have to have something to run away from or an opportunity to chase.

For my father it was a lucrative contract. For my SO a method of breaking away from the environment she grew up in.

Also you don't really have to travel to be an outsider. I spent a great deal of time in high school in a catholic bible study circle, even though (or actually - because) I'm an atheist. They were very kind and we had many interesting discussions.
Vulnerable World Hypothesis [pdf]
Some features just don't scale or cannot easily integrate into app layers which need them. For example Pg connections are expensive, so you need a Pooler, now you don't want a DB user per end user. FK constraints too can prove hard to scale as one ends up with extra writes and contention, or do sharing.
Someone posted that the other day and it looks pretty good:

A two-sigma effect is mind blowing. You can say that makes it more suspect but the magnitude of the claim must be emphasized, that’s just so frickin high of an effect size. (Personally I assume the claim is at least mostly true: how could full-time, good tutoring not be incredibly better?)
> If he used an AI to help him, even substantially help him, and copyrighted it himself, that would be a non-story.

Maybe a subtler story, but I wouldn't say no story. It's still worth pondering how it works if a human can creatively develop an AI system that can then output essentially endless unique works. Can the human just submit applications for those works endlessly? Even in purely practical terms, will the copyright at some point just ban the human for excessive submissions?

And what if the AI system is open source or otherwise freely available? Can any human generate a new unique work and submit a copyright application for it? Is the mere curation work that the human applies to the AI system's output sufficient to receive a copyright on the work?
Just be yourself is advice I see often given when telling people how to behave in new situations, but nobody ever talks about how to be yourself. Who you are and how you behave is a product of both past history and current situation. In other words it is easier to be yourself when you are in a comfortable and familiar situation. But when exposed to a brand new situation/experience "just be yourself" is terrible starting advice for many people because it is completely non-obvious how to do that.

I've been given that advice many times and it took some deep introspection and many years to figure out what it meant and how to be myself. This might be self evident for many people, but for me discovering myself meant knowing what made me happy and unhappy. I've done that by being mindful of how I felt before/while/after doing something. This let me establish a core persona who is more influenced by past history and less by current situation. At this point just be myself is a good reminder, but starting with that advice was not helpful at all.
I grew up in Germany, born elsewhere, without giving too much personal information about myself. I now live in the US. The fact that the US has become more diversified and generally affords individuals more opportunities; community ties are not as strong or important as elsewhere; sprawling geography and population; all of these things create a different set of costs and benefits socially.

When people in other countries get more defensive or sensitive to an influx of foreigners is not an indication that racism doesn't exist or race doesn't play a part at all in how they view others. It is a different side of the same coin. Yet, look at how the plight of a white population in Ukraine is seen vs. that in Syria or Yemen or even Rwanda before that.

Deflation is much, much worse than the inflation we are currently experiencing. The US was in a 50 year depression starting in 1860 largely due to ineffective monetary policy which caused deflation. Small amounts of inflation are in fact a good thing, as it encourages loaning money.
I'm simply unable of not reacting to someone so exhilarantly rejoicing you don't need a third party library for taking user input with cynicism. Am I living in a bubble, or what the hell went wrong here?
things which actually matter, like Firefox's highly configurable enhanced tracking protection.

What's your criteria for things that actually matter? For example, as an adblocking, scriptblocking person, whether or not a company tracks me has no impact on my life whatsoever. What does have an impact on my life is my web browser being half-crippled and my mobile browser being a pile of half-working shit that soft-locks if I open it too quickly after closing it.
This sounds a little similar to the hubris of the GNU moe [1] manual. You're assuming you could make a "good enough" font that would truly be "good enough". I don't think you can even come close.

A font adds so much character to the text. Where one font may be appropriate, a different text would look stilted or silly. Fiction, fantasy, technical, non-technical non-fiction, etc. books all require different fonts, in my opinion, to capture the character of the words.

Noto is a fine font, but I don't want to use it for my blog. There are a bajillion fonts that are perfectly legible and for those of us who care, they make a difference.

What would help would be a little education and maybe some UX nudges: stop making Arial the default on stuff, (looking at you, Google Docs) encourage well-built fonts by making them the only default enabled options in your OS, etc. I don't think there is "one font to rule them all", however.

One benefit of deno on this front is that it _only_ pulls down the js files you actually need. With npm, even if you only import one file from a package, every single other file will also be downloaded to your computer. And probably some test files, a bunch of package-lock files, maybe some branding images. Oh and the same for all the packages it references, too. The storage/download time savings of getting just the js add up a _lot_ more than I expected. I've toyed with deno on a few projects, and my entire deno cache is smaller than any single node_modules directory.
Then the unemployed people on uninhabited farmland move back to their home cities with all this extra money and buy a house for a couple million, sending prices skyrocketing.

This is literally what's been happening to the economy for the last decade. All the money that went into the economy from 2008 onwards ended up in the financial & tech sectors in NYC, Seattle & the Bay Area. As long as it stayed there, it only increased prices in NYC, Seattle & the Bay Area. Then remote work happened and these techie millionaires realized they could live anywhere. Or they just hit a threshold where they can retire. Suddenly those millions are ending up in places like Boise, Phoenix, Austin, Denver, Asheville, etc. and now we get inflation.
Sorry, no. Unless of course you plan on not doing anything else on your machine. Otherwise it can't be a 1:1 replica of your production environment, which defats the purpose. The reason containerization is so appealing is because it lets you have the same exact setup (to the byte) everywhere. By doing that, you build predictable environments.

If your production environments don't require reproducibility that is fine. If you want to figure out what might be causing issues in production by using a setup that has the same dependencies but a different underlying base, fine. But that just won't do for lots and lots of products.
BLS defines full employment as an economy in which the unemployment rate equals the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU), no cyclical unemployment exists, and GDP is at its potential. [1]

Linux has support for multipath devices, so disks disappearing and re-appearing at runtime definitely isn't a new concept. Making it work with a single disk might take some work though.

If the power cycle is controlled, then the kernel can be reasonably sure that the re-appearing device is the same one. File handles wouldn't really be affected as long as the mounted filesystem can resume IO after the device reappears.

Most likely you'd still want to use a RAID scheme and/or data checksumming as an extra layer to ensure data integrity though.
Your definition is circular. What proves MMT is in any way ‘factual’.

MMT is an old lie, oft repeated, and only discovered as a lie after it is far too late.
I'm not a fan of copyright generally and sure the line might seem arbitrary. But if you consider for second, just one of the problems with copyrighting machine-generated works is that a machine could generate so much text it make thing so any author would be bound to infringe on some part of it, especially if the text was generated cleverly.

Plus: you've replied to some point other than what I actually said twice now, what's up with that?
Interesting. I wonder if looking too closely into a fire carries the same risk.
That input and training data isn't what's being copyrighted.
Deno attempts to provide a standalone tool for quickly scripting complex functionality.

That's from Deno's home page. What I'm talking about isn't whether TypeScript is useful for some projects, as that has been proven beyond question. What I'm saying is that as a tool for "quickly scripting", as claimed by Deno, it is unnecessary and counter productive to JavaScript as a whole.

My point is that the Deno project is a high profile JavaScript engine which, in my opinion, is misguided in their end-user focus on TypeScript and I think it's a shame.

Devs are always searching for the "right" way to do things, and can be easily convinced to do things like misuse "const" because some pedantic fool convinced them it was sorta like type safety, and therefore not using it was "baaaaaaad". And the sheep followed and now const is used everywhere, despite the clear and unambiguous intended functionality of the feature's designers, who added it as a way of tracking, incredibly, constants and nothing else.

It would be nice if we saved a generation of devs another debacle like const, NoSQL databases and UML.
My fav story along those lines is the KGB trying to blackmail Sukarno with videotape of dalliances with prostitutes. He asked for copies to show his friends.
"as is" is a specific legal term in the USA: https://definitions.uslegal.com/a/as-is/

As-is is a term used in warranty law to disclaim the seller's liability for faults in the item sold. The buyer accepts the item in the present condition, whether the faults are apparent or not
David Fravor was talking about the Tic-Tac video which was over ten years before the Gimbal video in the article.
I wonder how this happened. I repaired two (consumer-grade) microwaves, and both of them had 3 independent switches:

- one was sending signal to controller

- second was cutting power to something (presumably magnetron) when released

- third was short-circuiting magnetron when released, it would cause fuse to blow if it ever got energized

I assume the mechanical parts were aligned such that if you open a door, the second switch was released before the third one.
Ask HN: What recent art (last ~20 years) will be well known in 500 years?
Regardless of type: music, paintings, drawings, literature, movies, video games, sculpture, architecture etc.
This has also unfortunately been my experience, even when working with developers that have several years of experience writing JS.

There seems to be a big gap in knowledge when it comes to boundaries between the language specification, runtimes, and innate abilities.

People consistently confused about why they can't use JSX without a build-step, not understanding that JSX isn't "real", why doesn't fetch() work in Node, why does code in my Next.js app break randomly (server vs client render context).

Lot of pain in trying to explain to folks that a browser and Node are two different universes that happen to speak the same general language.

There's too much magic in this ecosystem and not enough emphasis placed on taking the time to understand the tools you work with, IMO.
