When you travel to Japan and go to an Indian restaurant, the food tastes and is presented differently than it is in India. Then if you travel to Greece and find a small Indian restaurant, the Indian food is different there from the other versions. Same in Africa, South America, Europe. All of the Indian food sold in these places are nearly unrecognizable from each other.

This variation isn't limited to Indian food. It's the same with Thai food, Chinese food, Indonesian food, Italian food, Mexican food, Greek food, Japanese food. The ways of preparing and presenting these cuisines in foreign lands are as varied as the countries themselves.

It's probably a human universal: restaurant owners of ethnic restaurants change recipes to suit local taste and popularity.

That's not what the CMB is. The CMB is an incredibly uniform pattern which appears to have been formed by a very hot plasma at some point in the past. It's difficult to imagine an explanation other than the Big Bang (or some kind of expansion of a very hot plasma) because the uniformity means it was almost certainly concentrated in space.

But yes, in the distant future, it will not be possible to detect the CMB anymore (and it's entirely possible that alien civilisations that evolve at that time would probably never have a model of the Big Bang because there would be no remaining evidence of it).

We've already seen this play out with the illegal drugs trade and P2P file sharing. Spoiler alert: The government lost.

That is precisely my original point.
The most useful kinds of tokenization will "anchor" the data to a specific platform, and allow you to perform common operations without slinging plaintext around.

So it's a token and an interface, where the minimum interface is "give me the plaintext back", but richer interfaces are possible and more useful.

So e.g. once you tokenize a card, you can perform billing operations on the token. The original CHD is "too liquid" and can be used anywhere in the financial system. If the token platform ensures only you can get paid with the token that can the limit the scope of badness.

You can also apply auditing and enforce extra access control / policy around operations or exchange of tokens for plaintext. In a complex system this can be better than letting sensitive information propagate to different data stores or business units. It also means you can build out the auditing & controls just once instead of needing controls in N systems.

It's also a decent tactic for "compliance engineering" in terms of being able to draw a box around which parts of the system you expect your auditor(s) to want to look at really closely. Things can rapidly get expensive when too much stuff comes into audit scope.

The OSI's position is particularly annoying since it's been proven over and over again that they didn't originate the term[1], they co-opted it from a pre-existing term and concept in the community to try to sell "free software" to businesses. They don't get to define it - then, now, or ever.

Yes, I understand that BITB+MITM is a huge risk. But my point was that most who want to run BITB won't typically have the means to run an MITM along with it. (unless 'MITM within a browser' becomes a reality!)

> None of the services you mentioned need even close to nanosecond precision between servers to operate. Applications that do (other than the ones in the article like Spanner) are concentrated in supercomputing/scientific computing and spend a LOT of money on the problem

No, not really. I work in finance (HFT, systematic market making) and this industry heavily relies on high precision clock sync. It's even regulated by law (MiFID II); in practice everyone on the street uses PTP because if you don't know how fast you're really going or where your latency spikes you already lost the race, just don't know about it.

There's a couple of other domains where micro- and nanosecond level time sync is of paramount importance. PTP has become much cheaper over the years especially when you are in a data centre and can get it as a service instead of setting up grand-masters, slaves, GPS antennas, etc.

This statement just reads like badly researched topic on their part.
the air rights are a bit of a red herring, because if the people in the city chooses to, they can easily abolish air rights, and allow buildings that previously sold their air rights to build it again!

We have a mailbox. Post office sends out drivers regardless of whether or not I have a package coming, unlike (say) UPS or FedEx who make specialized trips. That was more or less my point.

That said, the post office is within biking distance during summer months if I need to send something. There's no biking or hiking anything over a mile here during the winter. Even that would be extremely unpleasant in January.

In the nearest dense city to where I live, you'll occasionally see someone biking to work during winter, but even then only on the best of days. Mail, packages, and commercial shipments all still get around by truck (the total distance driven is shorter, but more trips have to be made to accommodate the extra people).

But if all of these vaccines aren't enough, "getting it eventually" doesn't mean you won't just get it again later. It's just a different form of immunity, a nasty enough mutation will still bypass it.

That's not to suggest no risks should ever be taken, but if going to the office in person is really basically pointless that's a very unnecessary risk on top of the inconvenience of it. May as well delay getting it as long as possible since it's constantly changing right?
No, we really can't, because this is a political issue rather than an issue of logic. The term "freeware" had an unambiguous definition before the FSF came along and decided to co-opt the term for its personal crusade, just like "open source" had an unambiguous definition[1] before the OSI came along to co-opt it in an effort to sell "free software" to businesses. You could adopt a new term tomorrow and people would still come along and try to co-opt it. How do I know? Because when people tried to co-opt Freeware, the term Shareware was adopted, and people came along to try to co-opt that. Likewise, when Freeware was co-opted as "Free Software", the OSI came along to bastardize it and repackage it as "open source" (co-opting and existing term).

You cannot coin your way out of being co-opted by bad actors.

> Society is us. We have chosen social policy which turns the fundaments of life into investment strategies for the over-propertied. We can choose differently.

no we cannot, because it's not a choice. It's an effect. A different "choice" to have a desirable effect of your choosing is both hard, and can (and will, i bet) have undesirable consequences. A choice for example, could be to switch to a command economy instead, but i bet that would create housing projects that noone wants to live in.
> The outcome of that is you'll chew through your front pads and rims much more quickly than your rear.

My (Whirlpool brand) fridge has no ability to connect, and broke.

People use custodial wallets which is a bad idea anyway; but it supports the original point; people generally do not understand or care about the basic premise of decentralisation (and, as such, have no interest in the added inconvenience, although with enough tech that can be solved). They use crypto because ‘get rich quick’ and ‘no taxes’ and they do not know or care about how it works. Their coins are in centralised wallets or exchanges . Adoption of the decentralised might (but probably not at all) come slowly over time. You need to read up on things before shouting BS though; there is a lot wrong with all the blockchain stuff but one good thing is; they cannot freeze your wallet if you have it locally; if you do not have your crypto currencies in your locally wallet, you do not own them as such is what any crypto pundit will tell you.

That's kind of a weird way to look at it. It assumes that your needs match exactly what Apple offers, which is rarely the case. For most users, Apple devices come with their own set of compromises.

Instead of taking Apple's devices as the benchmark, and trying to find a device that's cheaper and better on all axes, you have to start with the users requirements, and see where you get from there.

For example, if your requirement is "I want a silent machine for programming with lots of RAM for running VMs" then it's very unlikely that the cheapest option is going to be a Mac.

If your requirement is "I want a machine for checking my emails and watching Netflix with a big screen" then it's also very unlikely that the cheapest option is a Mac.

The only scenario where a Mac is reasonably priced is if your requirement is "I want a machine that is exactly like one of the few machines that Apple sells and I don't mind its shortcomings".

I actually want tax valuation to work like an offer - the tax man can choose to purchase your home for the valuation you use for taxation (you don't pay the tax in that case), or accept the tax payment.

if you value your house too high, you'd pay more tax than you'd need of course, but guarantee that it isn't going to be immediately bought up by the tax man. If you value it too low, you're risking a sale. So the ideal is to value it at market price - where the tax man will have no incentive to actually buy it out.
I plan not to but I'm afraid I might.

> They also have to have at least one extra bus and driver on standby every day because diesel buses breakdown regularly during a route and they have to go out with a second bus and pick up the kids and finish the route.

I distinctly remember being one of those kids that would have to be picked up in another bus every once in awhile. This was before cell phones, so the bus driver had to walk to the nearest house (this was out in the country) and ask to use the phone. I think we had a problem bus for a few months where this happened fairly regularly until they swapped it out for a different one.

One time a passing vehicle kicked up a rock that took out the windshield. Nobody was seriously injured, but there was a fair bit of broken glass.
well in the context of the discussion it sounds like the idea is that the mom and pop cupcake store owner decides she needs a website and does it by getting out a your first website for dummies from the library written some years ago.

I mean in the case of Zuckerberg I guess he should have written his first website, although I don't think he considered accessibility at the time.

In the case of me and a lot of other people on HN, yes we should probably just write our own website, and I know in my case I will run it through Voiceover and make things work well enough that I doubt I would be sued under any EU or US legislation.

finally though my example of the wild west and the modern day, at some point things become so settled that it no longer makes sense for people to build their own thing unless that is what they do professionally, the analogy does not hold perfectly of course because websites are not physical buildings and someone can make a perfectly good and serviceable website for people if they use no JS, and no CSS that moves things into the order they should be in naturally or that makes elements of one sort resemble elements of another - for example no CSS that makes divs work as headings.

But in a lot of cases nowadays things need to be done by a professional, the adoption of accessibility codes just increases the requirement for professionalism slightly more.
my bet is that you drop the count by another ~70%

You think by now, we could stop with this kind of rhetorical question. A 10% correction which makes data align better with surplus mortality is fine. Arguing that 70% of the data don't deserve to be counted as covid deaths when we have surplus mortality and that's even taking a bad flu season into account (we haven't had 700k deaths from flu since 1920)

I want to be super rude: is this guy both numerate and logical because .. I have my doubts.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-mortali...

For comparison, excess mortality due to a bad flu period:87,000 deaths, 1957-1960 (3 year window)

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/33119...

So 2020 alone, 470,000 excess deaths in the USA.

If you want to revise covid mortality down 70%, supply a rational basis for the surplus deaths.
