the only reason chia doesn't have specialized hardware that crowds out all commodity hardware is because no one cares about chia. the reason that bitcoin has highly specialized asics is because it is the progenitor and center of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem and has been for over a decade. also proof of space is no better than proof of work at scale. it will ultimately have very similar consequences.

Why do the questions never include my purchasing power, given my current financial situation?

This is what 50% of the population cares about, yet their votes are stolen away by focusing on things like immigration and terrorism.

The mismatch in these questions is why lower social classes often vote for populist right wing parties, instead of in their own best interest.

Thanks for the links! Will certainly check them out, might even send me down memory lane a bit when I was first reading about these. Would love a full-fledged recap at some point—it's really interesting getting insight into the the internal mechanics of the problems my UI framework solves for me in my day-to-day. I always come away feeling more informed when you write something, but you've earned a long break after this release, so no pressure!

I hear you on the data fetching and always appreciate your teams' cautious approach. It gives me a lot of confidence in the APIs you all end up landing on, and I appreciate the focus on backwards compatibility and incremental upgrading as opposed to shipping out the first iteration of a cool idea that comes to mind. I know just enough about React to probably shoot myself in the foot with this type of stuff, but add in the idea of concurrency and all that likely falls over.

I think the story here with Relay and GraphQL is really awesome. I hope the Relay team has an article in the future showing off some of the possibilities—I think it makes a really strong argument for itself in conjunction with these features, even taking into account the restrictions you mention. Showing how some of these features flesh out in a more complete framework would be helpful in framing them in a vacuum. Or maybe I'll stop complaining and explore and write something myself!
Some good sources, will check them out!

Yes, if you're assuming that police departments can keep a rarely-used passphrase secure and not written down in online documentation anywhere, while also being accessible in emergencies, then that system might work. (But then you also have to remember to rotate the passphrase when anybody in the entire department leaves or gets fired).
As a counter argument to the piece in the Economist, this article by Steve Keen (University College London professor) explains the gross errors made by economists in their modeling of climate damages, how those errors arose and their implications.

TL;DR: Nobel prize-winning economist, William Nordhaus, willfully or negligently underestimated climate damages.

I manually filed taxes on paper (federal) last year and they still have not been processed. Got a letter that the IRS is sitting on my 5-figure tax payment but haven't gone through the 1040 yet.

There is an institutional (mainly Republican) commitment to strangling the IRS here in the US. Filing taxes should be free and easy.
In many cases, the superfluous nooks and crannies on 5-over-1's are mandated by local zoning rules that call for "façade articulation" on buildings occupying larger amounts of street frontage (I suppose to conceal the unthinkable horror of a big building existing in a city).

See e.g. Portland, Oregon's façade articulation guidelines: https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2020/lu_buildin...

Thank you for trying out the search and your encouragement. I'd never read about keyboard tilt before. Out of curiosity I asked Andi "why does positive keyboard tilt put strain on your wrists?" and it answered "The reason why positive keyboard tilt puts strain on your wrists is because it causes your wrists to assume an upward flexed posture (wrist extension) at all times". That makes sense. My development ergonomics are sub-optimal :)

Thread only is the biggest reason to use it outside of FOSS, but the UI design and overall experience could use some work. It's not bad, but for apps like Zulip that are different from what people are used to, it can make a big difference.
It's not like an honest mistake is the end of the world. I've made tax mistakes. You get a letter from the IRS, with the amount you owe or are due back, and you settle up. There are no draconian penalties or full audits unless they suspect intentional fraud.
Given the risk-taking activities of the poor vs. the rich, I don't doubt that some actuarial table shows that lower credit scores correlate with high risk profiles for liability insurance. Whether or not that's moral is another matter.
This form of cardinal voting has a particularly egregious equivalent of the "additional candidate affects preference ordering" issue in ordinal voting systems though. Unlike the weird edge cases with preference ordering in ordinal votes, the effects of adding additional votes on reducing certain voting blocs' influence on other issues where ppeoplemust divide a budget across multiple issues often lead to intuitive (trivially simple, even) strategies to manipulate a particular outcome.

If you can add a proposition to the ballot paper which sufficiently threatens a particular group, they're forced to waste votes defending themselves against it, which means they have less influence on other issues they might also care about. As far as I can see the quadratic nature makes it worse, by making it more plausible a minority could actually lose a vote that threatens them if they only spent most of their credits defending themselves against it.

That's a bigger UX issue than non-sophisticated voters not really grasping the budgeting detail.
>* Giving criminals and scammers the ability to exchange goods and services anonymously.

I don't see how this is any different than the bog standard "encryption lets criminals and scammers the ability to exchange goods and services anonymously.". Should money/txns be fundamentally track-able/examinable/un-encrypted but your private data/messages not?

Surely this contention is something you also consider -- care to expand?

>* Convincing older and gullible people to give their money to someone they don't know and a technology they can't explain

Humans had a high level of immunity to COVID-19 before it even appeared. Many patients clear the infection entirely with the innate immune system, and suffer few or no symptoms. It's just like any other respiratory virus in that respect. Our species never would have survived so long if that wasn't the case.

The best evidence indicates we have seen something like this before, specifically in the 1889 pandemic. That was most likely caused by the HCoV-OC43 coronavirus (genetically very similar to SARS-CoV-2), although at this point we probably won't be able to prove the cause 100%.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7252012/

Additional boosters may be beneficial for some patients with defective immune systems. But they're not advised for the general population. We can't boost our way out of the pandemic.

The US Navy has a railgun with a 2.5 km/sec muzzle velocity that would fit on a ship.

A 3.5 km/sec gun could shoot payloads from the surface of the moon to the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 points.

That railgun would struggle to get 1000 shots per barrel, a coilgun would be more practical but somewhat larger.

Either way the O'Neill era picture of the mile-long mass driver is so 1976, really it looks more like the Paris Gun. Something that would fit on a SpaceX Starship should be able to put up at least a rail car worth of freight a day.

Interesting that hosted Zulip has the same per-user monthly pricing as Slack. Slack runs around an 80% gross margin, I wonder how Zulip does.

You are misinformed. With most cryptocurrencies (except Monero) it is very easy to blacklist wallets, and since tx history is public you can't just move your coins to a new address to get around it either. You don't actually even need decentralized systems for private transactions, digicash with blind signatures would be private and vastly more efficient.

not going to have the power for true wok cooking. Burners from Turkey friers are perfect. Also do it outside. True high heat cooking will expel all kinds of smoke and other stuff into the air. Unless you have a high flow hood with a make up air system (similar to what restaurants have - and yes, there are systems made for home/non-commercial use), you do NOT have adequate indoor ventilation to do that kind of cooking indoors.
Hey, congrats! This is a great effort.

I've written about this elsewhere on hn but a while ago I made a project with similar goals in mind I called Rashomon. It was a betting market where you would receive articles without their title, author, source info, etc and you had to place a bet on whether you thought the source of the article was right wing or left wing. I also learned a lot from this experience, so if you'd like to chat, let em know.

According to architects who know, it’s the price of mandatory parking, especially in MDUs, that drives up the cost of housing much more than the additional cost of adhering to more stringent building codes.

Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen that release, looks promising. I think this could definitely work for some of our newer apps that haven't fully bought into GraphQL yet. Not sure if the loader / action prop callbacks will be sufficient when you start getting into more complicated GraphQL use cases around caching. Haven't played with it though, so might be wrong! Good to see that these will already be in place for the community to leverage.
:) Well, there is a kernel of truth in all of them, but I think my colleagues are quite fond of me nonetheless. I think that I have my analytical mind to thank for that more than my innate capacity for detecting and dealing with emotions in others though (never mind my own).
As someone who does exactly this - building a website with Bootstrap or similar tools will get you 90% of the way there in terms of how closely your functional product matches its design. The remaining 10% requires fighting Bootstrap (since this is css, this means overriding rules). This is annoying and produces a fragile resulting code. Maybe it's a reason why the 90-90 rule exists. Instead, I choose to write exactly what's needed instead of trying to shoehorn in something to save time initially.

It's fine to say "OSS developers don't owe anybody anything" in general, but Debian specifically has quite a strict vetting procedure before accepting people as developers and they agree to things like the Debian Social Contract[1] which includes: "Debian believes the makers of a free software operating system should provide guarantees when a user entrusts them with control of a computer. [...] Not hiding problems with the software or organization. [...] Staying focused on the users and the software that started the phenomenon." and a document of Developer Duties[2].

Seems like there should be few things the developers cannot do openly, but can do secretly if 'empowered', and there perhaps ought to be a public record and transparency around any incidence or accusations of vote-bullying or vote-buying.

Anyone noticed, how Google Meet screen sharing on macOS is broken on a daily basis? I then always check for an update and then after a restart of chrome, it works again. Next day, it has some weird issue again.

Just like SMS access to 'mfa' your bank account also provides an attack vector if they steal your number, stupid (aka all find-able) security questions don't help protect, they are another attack vector. I thought everyone puts fake answers and keeps them in a separate location. Then of course someone can come in an steal them too!

Since 16 year olds can hack into auth providers like okta and then hack into microsoft and steal source code, and this crypto stealing endless happens, there's just not good electronic security. But what is good is I can go to my bank in person and fix things. It would be so much harder for someone to get fake id. I actually have a personal relationship with my advisor at my 401k. Those things do give me some additional security, at least I think so.
Yeah, I'm baffled by the idea that the internet is the only possible way to convey information about phone numbers.

It's not even that we are old enough to have experienced looking up a number in a phone book and some people here are to young to have that experience. The obvious solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem is to print some numbers on a piece of paper and post it to each company you want to get data from in the future.

SARS-CoV-2 is sufficiently contagious that there will be no significant herd immunity effect to protect those who lack immunity. Everyone will be exposed. Fortunately the vaccines and other treatments are fairly effective at preventing deaths.

The mask mandates implemented in most of North America were never an effective public health intervention. Areas which never had mandates, or removed them sooner, had similar outcomes. Correlations with death rates were weak at best, and confounded by multiple other factors.

This is susceptible to ballot poisoning: lobby to put something you had no intention of doing but your opposition feels very strongly about on the ballot and then watch them waste their credits “reaffirming” the status quo of the hot-button issue while educating “your” voters to prioritize the actual issue under contention.

Imagine a ballot with one contentious question A. Opposition Y adds a question B they know will flop but is guaranteed to disproportionately attract all the attention of the other party to the ballot. Party X voters waste their credits on the red herring question B (which has greater than 50% support in the overall population anyway and would never fail them) while opposition Y advises its voters to spend the credits on the actual question A they care about.

As a completely contrived example, the real question is a controversial “add a carbon tax” that could go either way and one party either adds “ban all abortions in all cases for everyone” or “ban all firearms for all people” to the ballot to misdirect. Either of these is guaranteed to disproportionately attract all the attention of one of the parties more than the other despite neither having a remote chance of passing. Because of the phrasing and the topic chosen, even if you don’t educate your voters you can rely on the fact that their voters simply care a lot more about the topic than yours do.

GPA is a great predictor of ones ability to work hard, finish the stated goals, etc. Basically its great at predicting a good busy bee.

But I think its perhaps poor at predicting orthogonal people; people that will create things that weren't envisioned by those who built the thought tracks.

Some thoughts:

1. A company that treats you with disdain for a 3.5 is not a company to work for.
2. GPA inflation is real. In a healthy education system no company could hope to attract only >3.5 GPA hires.
Chris Rock made a documentary about how much important hair is for black women. He is also probably aware that black men and women suffer prejudice because of their hair - since well... he's black.
