> It does semantic matching.

Matching the semantics of "it's wood and it's for building and it has a 2 in it" isn't very useful when you have something that's absolutely not semantic, like a specific size definition that's an industry standard, and not really interchangeable.

It's like searching for a 3/4" socket and getting a list of 1/4", because there's a four in each. It's not helpful. It's completely useless and makes the search results look incompetent. Put those in "related searches", with a divider or different background color, or something to separate the "right" from "obviously wrong".

The search experience for wood and sockets should be driven by usefulness, not broad SEO advertising rules of thumb where things are fuzzy.
i would imagine delivering a conventional warhead with an ICBM has a very high risk of being mistaken for a nuclear armed ICBM. Also, they're expensive. Putting a JDAM package on an old iron bomb turning it into the most advanced precision guided munition is very cost effective.

The problem with your comment is you just lumped together a string of un-credible events and then summarise you're not convinced. To be frank Roswell and psyops (whatever that is) would not be enough to utterly convince me too. What I do find very interesting though is credible recent eye witness testimonies coming from US Navy pilots and the work at Harvard University for the Galileo Project, along with the other many recent activities around the study of UAPs (whatever they might be).

The problem as I see it with this area is it's been far too stigmatised, so no researchers would ever dare touch it for fear of being labelled conspiracy theory believing nutcases. That sentiment is now dying off thankfully and we can start to find out what on earth is going on.

The problem is that there's not much control group.

My kids were homeschooled, they did around 20 min per day of school, now at public school they find the pace way to slow.

School is 90% daycare so the parents can work, not really to teach kids.

There are a lot of cases of Chinese, Russian, Iranian, Saudi, etc. dissidents or critics being targeted overseas. I'm not sure why it's a surprise to anyone or why people think it doesn't happen.
Not only that they increased the rate, but also they'll reduce the buying of securities:

Do non-obvious heresies really get people banned/canceled? I can’t remember any examples of when I’ve seen something banned and didn’t think “that was uncalled-for and they definitely had it coming.” But I’m happy to be disproven. Does anyone have counter-examples? Situations where people got banned for truly innocuous things?
That reminds me of COINTELPRO, and how the FBI tried to get MLK to commit suicide by sending him a harassing black mailing letter. It's amazing how states particularly when they have apparatuses that can go rouge or are even actually encouraged by the government like the Stasi were go to ridiculous lengths to harass people they find politically inconvenient.
It's only nowhere near enough if you view the process as something other than a huge charade. Take a look at the predicted inflation to see how little the monetary policy "experts" have a clue.
Welcome to stagflation.
The entire point of this a analysis is that the video isn’t evidence of anything extraordinary.

Given other potentially questionable behavior around this subject matter, yes, that absolutely calls their credibility into question.
Well, the only reason they were scrambled to begin with is that they had been tracking these objects for weeks using advanced radar. As I understand it, the radar is based on multiple resolutions. The active radar can point in the direction of objects of interest and get very very precise measurements. It's not just the video, its the radar data.

The thing that pushed me over the edge in believing these things is the long podcast interview between Commander David Fravor and Lex Fridman.
Yes, the common theory is that lowering interest rates encourages investment and growth, at the cost of higher inflation. This increased inflation is also generally thought to depress 'real' salaries, which further increases growth.

Nope, regular Emacs without EVIL. Nothing against vi, and I use it regularly for tweaking files on remote machines, but I prefer the native Emacs experience.
Indeed. I was thinking about the RLS use case where the policy is based on the current user and its role. It wasn't obvious to me at first but you could just add a middleware to your app that dynamically set the role in the DB for the user making the request (as in the third article I posted in my edit). Basically what PostgREST does.
There's a difference for sure, though in some cases one follows the other. I agree that there should be consequences for powerful people who preach hatred, when the consequences don't require giving even more power to tech giants and employers (a good example might be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaBaby#Homophobic_remarks)
Most surprising part of this FOMC had to be when Powell said "we would like to slow demand" during the press conference, you don't usually hear the quiet part out loud like that from this Fed chair. Also shift upwards in PCE in the SEP, plus the dots, all seems appropriately hawkish
The thinking is that lowering rates will increases spending (why save if you aren't getting much of return, you will find other ways to invest your money rather than have it sit in a bank account). So, if the economy seems to be in a recession central banks will often lower rates to encourage spending. But if you are already at near 0% for a record length of time, and have printed massive amounts of money, well friend we are in uncharted territory. What's better than do nothing? Doing something, we have this interstate rate lever, we can't pull it down, lets push it up!

Yes, lowering interest rates during tough times has the effect of making borrowing capital cheaper, thus incentivizing people to take on risk via opening a business, investing, etc...

In contrast, raising interest rates is a way to fight a hot economic market. While in theory having massive growth might be ideal, it would be the equivalent of a sprinter using all of his/her energy in the first 100m while running a marathon...it needs to be a balancing act.

Lowering interest rates has been one of the major tools in fighting recessions, and one of the main concerns has been that lowering interest rates isn't possible(or effective) when they are already at such a low level.
The Dyson Swarm is more or less a science fiction concept. Is its lack of existence really your reason for believing we’re alone in the universe?

You seem keen to make fun of dogmatic people but attaching a hypothetical concept which is so trivial and fringe to your mental model seems like pretty dogmatic behavior. If you’d never heard of a Dyson Swarm, like the vast, vast majority of people haven’t, would your view of extraterrestrial life have significantly changed?
MAD implies rational/peer actors. Some of the US moves in recent decades have been to deter and counter rogue nuclear states such as NK.
> If you want to deride me by calling into question my motives, you can do that too for whatever reason YOU want to, but that's on you

You are free to act under whatever impetus you want and while I did call in to question your motives (implicitly), I never meant that as a derision. I frequently ask myself "why am I doing this?". It usually doesn't hurt to self reflect.

Edit: Something about this kept nagging me. And I think its this:

>It's my system, I'll block whomever I feel like blocking for whatever reason I want, thanks.

I see parallels to a sentiment that used to be fairly common in the U.S.:

"It's my store, I'll refuse whomever I feel like refusing for whatever reason I want, thanks"

Laws against that kind of thing are relatively new (1964?). You have a valid reason to block certain users (hacks) but do you really not see a problem extending that to national origin?
These details are wild, scary, and fascinating. Fascinating from the perspective of how easy it is for foreign governments on the other side of the world to try to scare the shit out of US citizens by hiring some scumbag PI for probably as little as $5k.

> Beginning in September 2021, Lin hired a private investigator (the PI) in New York to disrupt the campaign of a Brooklyn resident currently running for U.S. Congress (the Victim), including by physically attacking the Victim. The Victim was a student leader of the pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989, who later escaped to the United States, served in the U.S. military, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen. In September 2021, the Victim (then living in Long Island) announced his intention to run for a U.S. congressional seat on Long Island in the November 2022 general election.

> In hiring the PI, Lin explained that if the Victim was selected during the June 2022 primary election, then he might be “elected to be a legislator. Right now we don’t want him to be elected.” Lin emphasized that, “Whatever price is fine. As long as you can do it.” He also promised that “we will have a lot more-more of this [work] in the future…Including right now [a] New York State legislator.” Lin explained to the PI that Lin was working with other unidentified individuals in the PRC to stop the Victim from being elected to U.S. Congress.
They haven’t been a superpower for nearly as long as the US has been, and it didn’t overlap with the zenith of “overthrowing governments as the means to foreign policy”. Moreover, it’s easy to criticize Cold War eta interventions when the stakes were very high, but there’s much less justification for “peacetime repression”. Further still, “overthrowing governments” isn’t the only way to measure meddling and repression.
The video states that there's something there, but its heat signature is causing the glare (the video is in IR). Was the object flying steadily and rotating weirdly throughout the video? You can't see how the object is flying, the smooth motion and weird rotation you perceive is the effect of the glare!
Thanks for the reference! I never investigated ZAP closely, for some reason it never occured to me it might be able to be used like that (if anything I’d have turned to mitmproxy, but that would require building a substantial amount of stuff to handle the actual archiving).

The problem with MITMing your own browser is (apart from the fact that it is an ugly hack in a security-critical portion of your setup) I don’t think any tool for doing that (including the one you referenced, from what I can find quickly) applies the complex set of important stuff browsers do on top of just verifying chains against a root store.

The bare minimum for me would be HSTS and the HSTS preload list, but I’d also like to see CT and Must-Staple enforcement, OneCRL support, TLD and validity term restrictions for some roots, and so on. (This is more or less what Chrome does from what I know, though I think they have their own equivalent to Mozilla’s OneCRL.)
Lowering interest rates makes capital cheaper, which does spur investment and thus economic development, so, it can certainly have that effect given the right circumstances. But keep it too low, too long, and you see money start flying around too quickly, getting a little too loose because everyone wants to get theirs, and then they start inventing things like mortgage-backed securities and everyone starts over-leveraging, because, why not, money is cheap! Then you get 2008.
thats a fantastic study
Obsolete is a binary term, not scalar.

I read that 'doily' reference too.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/doily says "supposedly from Doiley, surname of a noted late 17c.-early 18c. dry-goods dealer on London's Strand."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doily#Etymology gives a similar description

If I read https://apgalton.wordpress.com/2014/06/ correctly, both are indirectly sourcing the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology.
It used to be, until they reached 0%.

The usual metaphor is that the interest rate is how hard you pull a rope. Pulling harder slows down the economy more.

But below 0%, you're trying to push the rope. And, as any rope expert will tell, you that doesn't do anything.
That makes sense, it definitely simplifies things. I like the idea of choosing between "everyone is signing up with their work accounts" and "users can join potentially multiple organizations, work related or otherwise". Thanks for the feedback!
Is it lost if it is "flattening higher points in a field and filling in the hollows"?

Something I've noticed where I am - we have a perpetual harvest of stones. My working theory is that smaller particles sink filling in small voids around buried rocks and with rain & frost this causes the stones to eventual rise to the surface. This has the appearance of losing soil but it's really just sunk.
that is true, but that was more than fifty years ago..
But we already have multi-generational non-person entities: companies. Copyright may be assigned to companies instead of persons. They are just registered under a bunch of people's names, which act as owners (shareholders), and can change over time.

In the future, AI entities will probably be registered as companies themselves (or maybe they will be just company assets), and will be owned by people. Which doesn't bode well for strong AI, but I suspect that even after we reach strong AI people will still grasp at straws for many decades or centuries, denying them personhood because they are just software that run on computers.
The last couple of recessions have placed a ton of deflationary pressure on the USD, and the fed has reacted to maintain a small positive inflation by both lowering interest rates and QE.

Now that inflation is rising and the economy is also at nearly full employment, its pretty straightforward for them to raise interest rates to rein in inflation.
No, I didn't say people weren't using the software. I could see that in a lot of different ways: how many people were active on the project site, how many people had forked the project on github, etc.

My point was that my reaction to things like feature requests I didn't want to build was a signal that I wasn't interested in building just a user base for the project. If what I were interested in were building a project that people wanted to use, could sell to them, etc., then I would discard my notions about what I wanted to build and I'd build what people wanted. That was the epiphany I had. I realized I had been lying to myself about my motivations. I realized that my actions proved I didn't really care about getting people to just use the software.

Because I was so annoyed by the lack of contribution, despite the obvious signals that people were using the software, I (eventually) realized that my true goal was for people to interact with my code, not my program. There's a difference there. Any feature in a program can be implemented in any number of ways. But there's necessarily only one way that it's implemented in my program. Thus to be more focused on contributions than usage implies that I care more about how people see my implementation of the features than the features themselves.

I didn't start these projects thinking, "let me make a thing that will prove my prowess as a developer". I made the things to scratch some personal itch. The software on its own fulfills that particular need.

The act of open sourcing it was a different thing entirely. It's not trivial to open source a project; there's a lot of work in trying to prepare it for use by other people. Why go through all of that? What need did I expect opening the code to fulfill for me? Opening code doesn't attract users. So few users care if a project is open or not that they can safely be ignored as a rounding error. So why focus time on opening the code, verus any other action I could take with my time?

Thus the realization that I had been deluding myself.
You are posting a criticism of the feature, in response to a comment that is an answer to that criticism.

If your code did not use generics, it can continue to not use generics. If you did not interact with any libraries whose need for generics was apparent, you can continue to do that too and the libraries you were using aren't going anywhere.

But just because you don't interact with a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and the problem has historically been solved with dynamic downcasting, code generation, or copy-pasting, all of which result in codebases far harder to read and understand than most other languages. For these problems, you are not trading off generic code vs simple code, you are trading off generic code vs incomprehensible code. It is great that you have never needed a tree-map instead of a hash-map, but many have.

Go's simplicity is in many ways it being the spiritual successor to C, and even C has generics nowadays because they are an enormous value add.
Mick West is a buffoon, and his “debunking” videos intentionally mislead his audience. I say this because he has had this explained to him again and again but he still ignores evidence.

When you have infrared, multiple radar, and visual observations simultaneously of an object and pretend all you have is a grainy infrared video REPEATEDLY it goes beyond skepticism into deceit.
Which country is "we"? The US has 14 Ohio class SSBNs in service until at least 2029
I think I could have gone harder on my second sentence. I do think he has some good debunking video's, but I would agree with you in that he does ignore a lot of evidence. When I say he is on the opposite spectrum of a UFO truther, I mean that I don't take him serious because his only goal seems to be to get a debunk video out regardless of merit.
Sure! Currently customers grant us read-only financial adviser access through their brokerage. This is a feature that most brokerages support.

In the event that the brokerage doesn’t provide the ability to grant read-only access, we are able to work with PDFs, CSVs, etc. In this situation updating the data is a little tricky.
Same experience. If you are using ionic and using any hardware sensors including camera, be ready for a rewrite down the line. Also plugins (even commonly used ones) are full of bugs. The toolchain for builds and cross compilation is amateurish at best. Ohh and finally if all the things do work, be ready for getting surprised on how sluggish the application is going to be.
It is in fact so wrong, I can't help but feel this is a bit? Like, I don't understand how you could keep this all consistent in your head. Without even going into history of the 20th century or even any facts whatsoever: why would, for example, the U.S. not do corollary acts of espionage and infiltration? Because of ethical principles? Or is the idea here that western nations are not as good at this as others?

I think the costs of a roll would be pretty small compared to the rest of the costs of production. Even today these are all considerations. It's costly to have to hire a team out for longer than you have to even if they use digital, or make people redo lines or spend more time editing things together you could have gotten in one take. Distributed product still has to be made with respect for the intended length of the video (e.g. is this a 5 min PSA or a 45 min training video? Do you want to host a 45 min long video?).

Show HN: Partially encrypt a file based on its HEREDOCs
Hi HN!

I wrote a tool that partially encrypts files based on the presence of a HEREDOC.

Check it out:
https://github.com/higgins/privatize

When added to a git repo, it will automatically transparently encrypt/decrypt files you want privatized.

For example if you configured your repo to privatize the file `example.txt`, you could write:

```
Today I a burrito.
<<PRIVATE
I was on the toilet for hours.
PRIVATE
I got a lot of reading done.
```

but when git-commit'ed would become:

```
Today I a burrito.
<<PRIVATE
xuJ0fld2vmNWaVLogTIufmWsiFso
PRIVATE
I got a lot of reading done.
```

Diffing works as you expect (on the unencrypted source) and only those with the `privatize` symmetric key would be able to unlock and decrypt these files.

Why did I do this?

I keep a public log of what I plan to accomplish and what I'm working on both personally/professionally.
At the end of the day, I write a summary of everything that happened.
Naturally, there are some details of my life that should be kept private (details of too-be-launched projects, sensitive family events, etc).

It's helpful for me to track everything in one file so as to keep the day's context together.

Would love to know what you think!

> They’re barely even using fighter jets.

Maybe because they've barely been training those pilots and know the planes would likely be lost if used above Ukraine? Pilots in the Russian Air Force have supposedly been averaging less than 100 flight hours a year, which is next to nothing.
