Ask HN: When did the universe stop being a black hole?
If inflationary cosmology is correct, then the observable universe was the size of a softball or a basketball or something of that order at the time inflation ended (~10^-32 seconds after the big bang). And all the mass of the observable universe was inside that little sphere.

Which means that the mass was inside the Schwarzchild Radius for that amount of mass. Which means that the observable universe should have been a black hole.

So: Was the observable universe a black hole? If not, why not? (ELI20 or so, please, if possible.)

If it was a black hole, is it still? If not, how did we go from "was a black hole" to "is not a black hole", and when did we do so?

If it is still a black hole, then... what? What are the consequences of that?
The article touches on this a bit, but I do think lumping straight up disorders like depression together with more “neurodiverse” ones like ASD is the wrong approach. Maybe other people feel differently, but for me personally I think there’s a pretty clear difference. If I could take a magic pill that permanently cured my depression/anxiety/ADHD, I would. But my feelings toward autism are a lot more complicated. Despite making my life more difficult in some ways, it feels much more a part of who I am than the other conditions. If it suddenly disappeared it would completely change my personality and way of thinking, to the degree that I basically wouldn’t be the same person anymore.

I'm not completely sure what you mean, the 2016 votes leaned approximately democrat for <75k and and republican >75k like every other election in recent US history, although admittedly by a lower margin than the previous years. In 2020 it seems to have returned to a larger gap again.
No it's revoking the EO that limited prices, causing a price spike, subsidizing prices over $35 with taxpayer money, which goes to the same people gouging prices, which goes to lobbyist, which goes to the politicians.

The reason the R's didn't vote for it was the mj poison pill amendment and I guess some didn't get promised the lobbyist payout.
You could still do it with a USB capture card or an SDR. Analog capture certainly isn't dead though it might be a little expensive.
No, its not manipulating the state, which is why it is inefficient.

An example of what parent was talking about is instead of looking over a list 10 times calling different functions that build a new result list each time, you compose those inti one big function that visits each element once.

>state of FOSS dev seems to be showing some cracks

How do you figure? Companies like IBM/Redhat, Google, MS, Oracle, Amazon and others pay tons of devs to work on OSS. The state of OSS has never been better.

Just because some people can't figure out how to monetize doesn't mean the state of the ecosystem as a whole isn't great.
The "broad spectrum" idea is precisely what people are trying to communicate by using the term "neurodiversity". The alternative perspective, which used to be very common in my circles (and frankly is poking through a bit in your sentence about impoliteness), is that human behavior is not diverse and "normal" refers to a narrow, universal standard of behavior that everyone knows and is obligated to follow. A decade or two ago, I would constantly hear people complaining about others who don't listen to "normal" music or have "normal" hobbies.
I've been a conservative since I had a minimum wage job, for one reason: I want the government out of my life as much as possible. I firmly believe nobody will care about my family as much as I do and I don't want the government's golden handcuffs. Leave me alone, let me work, and I'll happily live with whatever happens.

I think this is the fundamental disconnect in left-right (economic) politics. The left, as I see it, wants some guarantee of a good outcome. The right wants liberty, recognizing that comes with risk.

“Seeming” “elegant” is not a good way of choosing cryptographic algorithms (this argument is also unfair to elegance of ECC).

RSA has been in use since the 1970s and has been repeatedly shown to be extremely easy to introduce seemingly minor issue that completely break the crypto.

Among the many issues are the belief that encryption is just P^^message%N. Which it is not - you must include padding, and doing that padding wrong also breaks the security.

In general implementing RSA safely is very hard, then you also get to the the huge keysizes required for acceptable levels of security.

An encryption scheme seeming elegant or understandable is not a sign of strength. Neither is age, as basic ciphers like Am+B%N have been used for thousands of years, but are trivially breakable.

Furthermore, while RSA dates to the 70s, ECC still dates back to the early 80s IIRC.

As for RSA being easy to understand, I’m not sure why you think ECC is hard to understand - you follow the specified addition operation and you get the correct result. I would argue it’s even easier to intuitively understand than RSA, as the whole point is that you’re both adding secret numbers together in such a way that you end up with the same total. This is unless you find the Chinese remainder theorem obvious?

Honestly my current preferred encryption scheme is McEliece. Basically you generate an error correction code for a message such that it can correct half the bits in the message. The public key is your error correcting codes basis matrix multiplied by a permutation matrix to shuffle the bits around. Encryption is done by multiply the public key matrix by the message and then flipping half the bits. Decryption is simply inverting the permutation and performing the error correction.

As a bonus, in addition to being simple McEliece has also been around since the 70s, encryption and decryption is extremely fast, it has withstood huge amounts of research and isn’t broken by quantum computers. On the downside the keys are impractically large :(
> It's also something that is difficult for me because the world itself is not designed to be accessible to me

I don't understand what you mean by that. The world is not "designed" in any way for anyone, all beings from bacteria to animals and humans live as they can, so you probably want to say something else, can you please tell that with different words?

>Are you saying that, by the nature of media having to be large corporations, they need to protect other large corporations and therefore paint an incorrect view of the world?

No, I'm not saying that at all. Media can run negative stories. I was explaining why _this_ particular story of this thread doesn't have the hard-hitting questions the gp was asking for. It's because the journalist was granted an interview by the CEO. The reality is that CEOs must volunteer themselves to be interviewed. And human nature dictates that they will not volunteer to be interrogated with uncomfortable questions.

>Do people enjoy hearing corporate-loving stories?

Readers also want to read corporate-hating stories ... but the CEO(s) will then have to be referred to in the 3rd person in that type of story instead of being asked questions in a 1-on-1 interview format. That's just the reality of how different types of stories are created. Understandably, CEOs don't like to cooperate when it's a hostile story.

In rare cases, a notable person will sometimes volunteer themselves to be interviewed with "tough questions" ... such as disgraced bicyclist Lance Armstrong being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. This is usually perceived as a public relations redemption tour to start rehabilitating their image.
That is pretty much counter to whole realization of neurodiversity but ok
BoltDB author here. Just to clarify, the project was retired because of maintenance burden. CoreOS wanted to make some changes but I didn't have the bandwidth to test and maintain it all. Since this was before Go had good version management, we decided that they could fork the project as "bbolt" and users could move over as needed. They did a good job maintaining it so I eventually archived the original project.
Insulin is going to be cheaper after this. It’s not perfect, it’s not fully subsidized, it’s not single payer healthcare.

But it’s SOMETHING, which is a refreshing thing after years and years of the do-nothing R-controlled senate.
Yeah but its difficult to look at and read as purely plain text, unlike markdown. And since the power-features of org arent available in your editor(s) (unless you use Emacs) it isn't tenable. I'm convinced Emacs users are blind to this given the seemless rendering done by Emacs. There's room for a new spec.
> It is bad. Day month year are separate inputs. No auto-jump to next input. Even if this was done for accessibility reasons, it is not accessible for many on the a11y spectrum.

Auto-advancing is a non-standard behavior for input fields, it could easily be confusing for users who aren't expecting it. Behavior in auto-advancing fields can also be awkward when going back to edit values, or pasting. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was more difficult for a11y users with screen readers. Keep it simple.

> Also, the component is half baked. How come one can input wrong input and there is no immediate error feedback?

This is covered elsewhere under "Patterns / Validation" [0], they recommend delaying validation until the user attempts to move on to the next section or submit the form.

> How come the error example still shows a validation error despite entering correct data?

I'm not sure what you mean, both examples have clear explanations in the error message; the first example [1] indicates that the date must be in the past and the second [2] is missing the year.

> "if we're claiming to be the party of the working class, shouldn't we be in favor of this?"

But they don't really mean it and have never meant it. The Republican party, at least in modern history, has never been pro working class in any real sense. The opposite in fact, probably far more hostile to working class than Democrats.

Much of the "pro working class" rhetoric is largely just conservative values like abortion or region. Maybe a better way to phrase it is "pro rural white conservative working class values".
If I remember correctly, if an IOMMU is present it is enabled by default on modern Linux versions. Most drivers should be fine now.
Yeah, GPU issues are absolutely an area that frustrates a lot of would-be Linux users. FWIW that was a consideration when I bought my last two laptops; I filtered out any candidates that didn't have known good Linux drivers for most of the important hardware. And, that took a lot more time reading blogs and forums and the like than I like spending.
Yup, that's exactly what this potential success story means.

And is precisely why Amazon fought so fiercely (and underhandedly) to derail a similar effort in Alabama around this time last year.
Well. I hate a lot of things about OSX so at this point I can say I do absolutely hate the system as a whole.
I read the article, thanks very much, and it was completely unclear to me as well.

There's a lacuna between these two sentences:

> After confirming it would be an incredible fit while importantly allowing me to continue my work on elementary, I made the hard decision to cut back my hours at elementary, eliminate my salary (freeing it up for other initiatives), and to take this position for my wage.

> As a result, Dani has asked me to resign and completely step away from elementary.

In other words "I took a job with the idea that I would free up my salary while continuing to work on the project... then Dani asked me not to work on the project at all". The second part does not follow from the first. Either it's poorly told, or something has been left out of the story.
This is a non sequitur. It's also true that governments have saved far more people from being killed and/or enslaved than random people on the internet have.
Appreciated.

That explanation makes a lot of sense.

EDIT: I also know we aren't dealing with "spheres", but... I get the gist. Dipole antenna emits in this weird doughnut shape, but as a 3-dimensional object, we can estimate it to be kinda-sorta like a sphere :-)
Bolt author here. Badger is a good database but it's mostly a tradeoff of write versus read throughput, specifically, range queries. Badger is an LSM so it doesn't perform as well (last time I checked) with iterating over ordered key/value pairs. LSMs have bloom filters to speed up point queries so those aren't as much of an issue.

The Republican party has always been pro "working class" in that their policies have been focused on trapping the "working class." Keep them poor, uneducated, easily manipulated, and powerless as a worker so they are easily exploited.

Republicans hate social programs like welfare because it's so much easier to prey up on John Q Factory Worker when John is paycheck-to-paycheck and terrified of losing his job.

Ditto for universal health insurance. With medical bills are the top cause of personal bankruptcy, tying a basic human need/right to employment is just yet another way they get to hold a workforce in fear.

Is this an April fool’s joke?
Someone in our prime ministers own government just described him as a man with no moral compass who uses 'his so-called faith as a marketing advantage' But the Australian population is much smaller, which means the public have a much smaller task keeping the government in line. You can't keep brazen narcissist kleptomaniacs entirely in line of course, but you can keep it to the level where they're not buying superyachts. I think this different context leads Australians to have some very different ideas about Government to Americans. We know power corrupts, but we don't see the Australian government as an arena where it is possible to attain absolute power, we don't see it as a vehicle someone can ride to outright despotism. There are people in the government in Australia would love to be despots, would love to rule the nation with an iron fist. The clown who renamed the 'Customs and Border Protection Service' to 'Border Force' and made all the uniforms black (ok really really dark blue) would love to be proclaimed eternal wise father of the nation, but we don't believe he's got a hope of getting that past us. We are more trusting of government not because we are naive, but because a nation of 330 million is a very different beast to a nation of 25 million

The Democrats have been the party of the free trade and globalization, while also supporting the working class. There is a problem with this approach. Free trade and globalization means that goods are cheaper, the economy is more efficient, and the nation on the whole is wealthier. Unfortunately, a lot of these efficiencies come at the expense of many US based working class jobs. This is why the Democrats have been less union over the years, unless they are supporting teachers, police officers, or other government unions.

The war in Ukraine could slow down and reverse a lot of globalization. Supply chain issues that we've seen during the pandemic have also been particularly. Maybe we'll start making more things in America again and perhaps the Democrats will do a better job supporting working class Americans.

We are living in interesting times. I'll guess we'll see what happens.

Prices were truly limited via EO under Trump and revoked by Biden.

And, yes it's something, it's LAUNDERING. It's going to be more expensive, but it spreads costs around to hide it.

You'll end up paying big pharma just as much, if not more, just lobbyist and politicians are getting a cut in the transaction.

Since the insurers are held liable for the cost, government healthcare plans like medicare will be paid by taxpayers.

Private insurers will increase their premiums to cover their cost, so you take a hit both ways.

Coordinate with big pharma to charge medicare huge costs, have the taxpayers pay them, they pay lobbyist to funnel to politicians. Free $$$ stream!
