To you down-voters: this was a serious question. I have heard that NFTs are used to provide provenance for collectables and artwork. So based on cursory knowledge, this would seem to be a use case. What am I missing?

A little more education and a little less snark and vitriol, please.
In theory, many of these can all be done with combination of Glicol and other Rust crates (packages) such as:

https://docs.rs/lv2/latest/lv2/

https://docs.rs/vst/latest/vst/

And for Rasp Pi or Bela, Glicol can also help. Although these are all work in progress, I personally really enjoy coding in Rust and the package management is fantastic.

However, VCVRack seems to be a different story; Faust may be a better option:

I'm lost by your comment.

It seems that you're trying to suggest either 1) that the standards as mentioned necessarily aren't True Standards - as a blanket statement - because they're set by the industry or 2) that these standards aren't True Standards - specific to this particular discussion - because there is no reason to think they're necessarily more rigorous than the standards for driverless car software. If you're trying to suggest something else, please understand that it is unclear.

I'm all for a dissenting opinion, but when it is not presented in an understandable way the discussion becomes hard to follow.

(I don't mean to suggest that the argument is wrong when I call out the True Scotsman vibes; just that it is the argument I see.)
Thanks! The docs just underwent a significant change for v1.0; the new plugins page is here: https://www.elementary.audio/docs/packages/plugin-renderer
Excellent, I wonder if using a two year old LLVM fork is still required, wasm support should be in trunk by now.
Are they actually using it as currency?
What kind of products do you sell?
I'm curious about the approach you guys are taking here. The client side of doing WebRTC is by far the easiest part. Maintaining separate client side implementations for mobile and web is... no harder then maintaining a web and mobile app separately anyways.

The server side is the hard part to work on. Also, one of the downsides of wasm is that it can be a pain to communicate out to the JS APIs, especially for doing lots of DOM manipulation. I'm not sure how sound this approach is really. It seems like you're going to do a lot of extra work in order to solve a problem that isn't much of a problem in the first place.
> I don't think his murders invalidate his manifesto

That's not my point though, my point is that quoting his manifesto validates his violence. If his ideas are valid, there should be other sources to quote/promote.
Yugoslavia was not a NATO member either.
I feel so much relaxed cranking up the volume when i need to once in a while and not get complaints, which are fair, but i get home from work after 9. And you got ta sleep but i gotta wind down.

Teenagers aren't known for not putting themselves in dangerous situations.

I don't think teenagers are any less safe than an person with equivalently little experience in normal traffic situations but they are definitively more likely to be less conservative when they do decide to push the limits. There's a difference between navigating a complex intersection and knowing how fast you can/should go on an empty highway.
Was it covering Yugoslavia back in 90s?
That is special about JS here? AFAICT the same is true for every python package, every rust crate, every linux package, every ruby gem, etc....

Maybe all of those need the same scrutiny but AFAIK they fundamentally have the same issue.
Nope! You can run the same Elementary code in the web browser, at the command line, offline (for file->file processing), or in a native audio plugin
Most software is below the level of systemd and agnostic to what you are running. Even services are only systemd specific insofar as they provide a systemd unit file which amounts to calling an executable with certain arguments which is convertible to a different system in about 10 seconds.

Presumably like void Linux this has been done for you.
Yeah, I'm highly skeptical that China would do that to one of the largest companies in the world, not because they probably couldn't withstand it, but because of the general market signal it would create. Sentiment is already turning or has turned negative on China but it's a big market so many companies persist, but imagine if the biggest company in the world can just be shut out? Many companies would probably stay, but it'd just be to milk what they can out of the market, I doubt any would really invest significant resources in China anymore.
These recommendation systems take control away from individuals over what content they see and replace that choice with black box algorithms that don't explain why you are seeing the content that you are or what other content was excluded. All of the companies who have deployed these content selection algorithms could have also given you manual choice over the content that you see, but chose instead to let the algorithm solely determine the content of your feed, either removing the manual option entirely or burying it so thoroughly that no one bothers to use it.

These algorithms are not benign. They make choices about what information you consume, whose opinions you read, what movies you watch, what products you are exposed to, even which politicians messages you hear.

When people complain about the takeover of algorithms, they don't mean databases or web interfaces. They mean this: content selection or preference algorithms.

We should be deeply suspicious. We should demand greater accountability. We should require that the algorithms explain themselves and offer alternatives. We should implement better. Give control back to the users in meaningful ways

If software engineering is indeed a profession, our professional responsibilities include tempering the damaging effects of content selection algorithms.
Does uploading the model to shapeways' marketplace or to thingiverse, or having it printed by a 3d printing service not suffice for your needs?
There is actually a tool like that, it's called Baserow :)

It does exactly what you mentioned. It's a cloud hosted, database tool with an excel like interface and collaboration features.

It is also open source and can be self hosted, but you can use the oficial website to use it directly without having to use it yourself :)
You might try selling on MicroAcquire or Flippa (I haven't used either).

Selling any business will usually take a couple months at least, so waiting until things are on fire and super stressful might not be the best strategy. Listing shouldn't take more than a couple afternoons.
Yes. Shut your music speaker off in the park and on the trail or wear headphones. That should be banned
Yeah, this implies backpropagation is deeply suboptimal.
There are billions going into extremely boring software startups all the time. The amounts raised by these "New Space" startups is relatively modest in comparison.

Sure, there is no way that the launch market will need Rocketlab, Astra, Firefly, Relativity and Blue Origin on top of ULA and SpaceX. Especially if Starship is successful ( a big Starship rideshare + in-orbit shutteling services will be almost impossible to beat if that rocket ends up being actually reusable).

It will definitely put a downward pressure on prices.
And even if they go under, the know how and the talent will still be useful.

In any case, building an orbital rocket is certainly a lot more interesting than building the umpteenth webapp or SasS.
Has anyone tried something like codespaces? I use vscode with either ssh, container dev, or both. But I feel it’s sometimes a bit slow. I’m wondering if a managed service could provide a better ux
Isn’t that literally the point of Etsy?
Strange because anything else with a browser built-in doesn't pester you about cookies, like a phone application. And those definitely deal with cookies.
OK. You realize that they can move to eBay and Shopify.

If their complaints are true, then Etsy is already unusable and using Instagram ads is clearly a simpler way of doing business.
Tangentially related, Reminds me of this: In Los Angeles there's a few very prominently displayed billboards at a shopping center for the Galaxy S4 that has somehow remained up [1]

> 95%+ of orders ship on time with tracking

They actually hide some stuff in there. Tracking is expensive, if you add tracking to all your orders than someone else will offer a lower price and out-compete you.

Buuut, if you buy your shipping labels directly from etsy that counts as having tracking, even when there isn't any tracking.

So the actual effect of this is just to force people to buy their shipping labels through etsy directly. I presume etsy gets a bulk discount and keeps the difference.

Choose a supplier with a 100Mbit limit and unlimited bandwidth.
The possibility of a bad trip in someone who is not prepared for the experience should not be understated. When reality crumbles around you for the first time, you may not make the best decisions and could hurt yourself or others. Novice users should definitely start with a low dose, and be in the company of someone they trust in an environment where they feel safe.
"the only reason Finland would find themselves in conflict is if they joined NATO."

No, Russia does not want to engage in conflict with a NATO country. If Finland joins NATO then Finland will be at piece for the next century, guaranteed.

I don't understand where this logic "if Finland joins NATO then Russia will invade it". That is backward logic. Russia has very little reason to invade Finland now, and if Finland joins NATO, it cannot.
Ask HN: Thoughts on Privacy with Video Transcription?
This might be a "you're SOL" scenario, train your own model or pay/upload. I think there might be some self-hosted ones too, I understand someone has had to train/make it.

I'm just needing this because we're dealing with a lot of video and I don't really want to watch them. I just want to look for keywords mentioned.

Eventually we will incorporate automatic/real time translation and for that it's like we will definitely be feeding our stream to the service... so this might be a moot point but just asking for thoughts/opinions.
That is indeed on offer :)

The new docs structure broke the website links, I'll get that fixed asap. See here in the mean time: https://www.elementary.audio/docs/packages/plugin-renderer

Also, as another user here has already pointed out, the "plugin development kit" is still macos only, though I anticipate releasing the windows version within hopefully a week or two.
Does the US necessarily need to rebuild the supply chain in the U.S.? Don't they just want a less antagonistic government? Could be Ethiopia (okay maybe not anymore), Nigeria, etc.
It's an interesting question but I don't think it applies here.

The problem with carbon offsets is not some moral question about my offloading my guilt to another party. The problem is that there's double-counting. Going back to the scenario, "suppose X and Y are both emitting greenhouse gases, and X pays Y to stop". Let's break that down:

1. Initially, X is emitting greenhouse gases. I'm not sure moral terminology is helpful here, but for the sake of discussion, we can say X is "guilty".

2. Initially, Y is also emitting greenhouse gases, they are also "guilty".

3. X makes a payment to Y, and Y halts their emissions.

If we say that Y is no longer guilty, because they stopped emitting, then we must say that X is still guilty.

If we say that X is no longer guilty, because they purchased an offset from Y, then we must say that Y is still guilty: they started out guilty, and they sold off the rights to their compensating action (halting emissions) to X.

We started with two guilty parties, and only one compensating / atoning action was performed. There is no coherent framework in which it can be said that both parties are now innocent.
>has to be willing to make sacrifices to their POSSIBLE bottom line to keep the platform useful and valuable to their actual customers.

This will never happen with Etsy, Amazon, or any other publicly traded company. Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their share holders to make as much money as possible. If the leadership doesn't act in this manner, they will be replaced with others that will. If you want a platform like you are describing it will have to be privately owned.
This is awesome!

On a similar note, I added a unique poem to each of our error messages a while ago:

Don't complain, you'll get a few months worth of free credits or something.
This, in my opinion, is the right answer for the problem identified in the parent blogpost. Rather than trying to get every single package author to adopt some unified capability token scheme in their code, just statically analyze all dependencies from the outside and report the capabilities they actually use.

It would be even better if something like this could be integrated directly into the package management tool itself, so that you could run `npm update` and get back "New dangerous API usage in package X version a.b.c: filesystem access. Type package name to acknowledge and upgrade."
I can imagine a lot of new graduates having trouble with this:

> I think many people, especially those newer to the working world, underestimate just how ruthless and sociopathic our late-stage Capitalist working conditions really are [...] I’d love to live in a world where less mercenary advice wasn’t dangerous, but that’s not our world.

I always wonder if most SaaS providers are fixated on building massive systems when simple shards would work for most customers. If you compare something like Gitea and GitHub you can probably see the reason. With Gitea your "shard" is siloed away from everyone else because there's no federation (yet?). GitHub is more like a huge social network where everyone can interact.

I think the vision for a lot of SaaS is to facilitate B2B collaboration by acting as a proprietary social network rather than via federation between relatively independent shards. The reason is simple IMO; vendor lock-in.
Why would US invade Canada for wanting closer ties with EU? Like EU is damaging its population for US interests? Like you maybe misunderstood my point, but it is enemy entities that are not liked on the border of superpower, let Canada say that they want to join CSTO and see what happens
Parent comment was jokingly paraphrasing General Bradley words: “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics."
They're forced to say that. Though any reference to alcohol should come with a similar warning.

I agree with the safety. Had an astronomical trip yesterday and I feel great for it. Fascinating journey into the nature of my consciousness and the things I fear for no reason.
I'll take the social scientists who have man-decades of direct observation and interaction with said tribes over your random layman speculation.
> what is going to deter Russia from dragging us into a localized conflict tomorrow if we announce we are joining NATO day-after-tomorrow?

The Russian military being bogged down in Ukraine. So the trick is having something else in place by the time it extricates itself from Ukraine and starts looking for ways to rebuild it's credibility in the aftermath.

Which is why some previously NATO hesitant places that have shifted are likely to seek to act quickly.
I do that all the time. is anything wrong with that? Sometimes you go and build something to solve a specific problem, and realize it solves lots of different things.

I don't think it matters what the Daily team originally intended. It is exciting/inspiring to me that they are trying to solve things differently. I think security for RTC is really important, so seeing more memory safe language usage makes me hopeful for the future.

All this new code also means people are really learning what goes into these problems. A whole new generation of coders are getting into the space and rethinking things. It is great.

This just isn't persuasive. You can find support for any wacky idea "in academia", at any end of the political spectrum --- I don't go around saying that conservatives are deeply invested in the idea of a Catholic Integralist theocracy, and so I object to the idea that you get to drag out someone's Masters in Tumblr Theory graduate thesis to win arguments. Meanwhile: in public policy? In political messaging? Support your claim with evidence, and serious evidence, lest I see whatever BLM thing you come up with and raise you Lauren Boebert.

I suspect that what's happening here is that you've mistaken the notion that people have itchy trigger fingers about people trash-talking single moms (they do) with the idea that people widely believe "single mom" is an optimal child rearing arrangement (they do not). I live in the People's Republic of Oak Park, and you'd be run out on a rail from the Oak Park Progressives group for writing a post about how dads are overrated.

Just for the sake of clarity, and to keep the discussion on the tracks, I'm dialing up my rhetoric: I think these beliefs you have about "liberals" are the outcome of Internet poisoning, not a reflection of reality.

Again: the best proxy we have for measuring social liberalism is educational attainment. People with college degress --- I'm not valorizing them, I didn't go, I think college is an overrated luxury good --- are much more likely to have stable single-parent homes that people without; to the extent that this "nuclear family" gap exists, it's "conservative" voters who are likely to be on the single-parent end of it.
> lifetime of EVs manufactured today

My EV is 7.5 years old and so probably halfway to its median practical service life. It's already down to around 70 miles of "can count on it" range and in 7.5 more years, I expect it to be down to just under 60.

I don't think very many 2015 Nissan LEAFs will be in service at the epoch rollover, unless someone comes out with a <$2500 in today's money battery replacement pack. No one's putting a $5-7K battery into a 15 year-old outdated tech BEV in 2030.
Works until you get a bug in the deletion job. I've seen exactly this happen.
This post links to a video where at least one presenter (the one on the right) reads directly from a prepared text while trying to vary his delivery in a way that's supposed to make it sound like it's natural conversation or, say, a lecture which is prepared but where no verbatim script exists. A word of advice (at least if you're trying to maximize your reach*): don't do this.

I listen to at least one podcast where the host does this, too, and it's tolerable for an occasional listen but extremely grating. I can only imagine that this happens because no one has ever told them "don't do this; it is extremely grating", so they think it really is achieving some sort of polished, Ira Glass/NPR effect. It doesn't, and I imagine further that for lots of people it's actually intolerable instead of being merely ineffective, which means those listeners opt out instead. (Even in the case of the podcast I mentioned, I'm less motivated to seek out that show, so I end up listening to far fewer episodes than otherwise.)

To better understand why I'm commenting about this at all, read <https://pointersgonewild.com/2019/11/02/they-might-never-tel...>.

You need to have an idea of the annual revenue of your prospects and price accordingly.

A $10,000 purchase for a small company with $100K revenue is going to be a huge expense. For a company with $100MM annual revenue it's a rounding error.
I know that. I am asking about a framework to distinguish between a NATO intervention from the sole US intervention for the side on the receiving end of it.
the coalition built for gulf war 1 was extensive to say the least. I think that was one of Bush Sr's requirements, if anyone was going to liberate Kuwait it had to be everyone. You would have to sanction the entire coalition which was basically the entire western world.

Bush Sr. convinced everyone to stop at Iraq's border and wouldn't push further to knock out Hussain's regime. Wisely, IMO for all the reasons that are clear today. However, lots of people think this is what cost him a second term and left many people at the pentagon feeling like there was unfinished business in Iraq. This "unfinished business" is what eventually led to Bush Jr's invasion.
You can do this in almost any language, like Java, ObjC/Swift, etc

> Does the context this video provides make the officers actions okay? No, I don't think so.

I understand and appreciate that social media can (and has) exaggerated things, which you've demonstrated, but I don't see how this demonstrates that police brutality is not a problem, or is an exaggerated problem. Ultimately you agree the police officer's actions were not okay.

The Verge article which I referred to originally: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/31/21276044/police-violence-...

For example, there were multiple videos showing police cars literally running into protesters, ramming into groups of them. What additional context could ever make that okay? Under what circumstances would that be a reasonable response?

Or as another example, police use tear gas on protesters, even though it's banned in war.
Any thoughts on carbon credit ETFs?
We are in the same boat. We are looking at the cloud, but the migration tools are just a pain. I can migrate a project to the cloud from Jira, and it even gives me a report of workflow transitions I have to manualy update/change to fix, which is great.

But then, there is no way to keep it in sync. I have to blow that project away in jira cloud, and migrate it again.

So I Have to hard-cut over projects, on a system that has dozens and dozens of projects, and somehow have people figure out which ones are where. or one really, really ugly night to cut it all over, and hope it goes well.

I'm looking for alternatives, but our team is so invested in some very, very customized workflows, its going to be a pain.
Here is a great write-up on the subject of the transition to the heliocentric model: https://tofspot.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-great-ptolemaic-sma...

One key element is that heliocentric models where just not as good at making predictions. It took new data for them to finally get to a dominating position.
