That's like saying "but there's no reason for any of this to be websites." You could theoretically do this without NFTs, but no one has and NFTs already have tons of traction. You have to store the database of who owns what digitally somewhere, on-chain is just more durable and composable.

Implementing as NFTs makes the data platform-independent. And it's easy to assign licenses to the NFT (and therefore the holder of the NFT), you literally just say "the holder of this NFT owns copyright for this image... etc". Tons of NFT collections implement this! =)

I just wanted the best EV that I could get. The Porsche might be better with quality, but I wanted the biggest and best battery. Everything else came second.
"Yanukovych's Berkut violently tried to put down peaceful protests" and "Violent protests ousted Yanukovych by force" are both true. For some reason you want to ignore the fact that the peaceful protests failed and then escalated to violent retaliation.
This, 100%. I love doing UX/UI work but everyone (I've worked with) is always pushing to use React for everything and it has led me to moving to more of a back-end / full-stack role over the last few years.

A job I recently left was building a B2B site where customers could log in and order files that they needed printed & delivered. The back-end was going to be Laravel but instead of simply using Blade (Laravel's PHP templating engine) we had to make a RESTful API so we could use NextJS and React. IMHO it was beyond overkill for a site where users would basically just be checking boxes and clicking an "order" button.

I just assume nowadays that whenever anyone pushes for React, NextJS, or any AWS Lambda based over-engineered auto scaling microservice solution to a simple problem they're just looking to pad their resume before jumping to their next job.
On a somewhat related note, I've been living in NYC for the past 7 years or so. I noticed that whenever I go to visit my parents house in Canada, the lack of noise kind of stresses me out. The first few nights when I try to sleep, it's just too quiet and something feels weird.

Thank you for your suggestions. Yeah, as soon as our offices were open I started going in. I'm a huge fan of having that separation, getting out of my apartment, and in general seeing other people in the office. Not deliberately planning your time is a great idea.

> I think whether he's racist irrespective of his messaging and policies isn't an interesting question.

I don't think a leader's personal conduct and presentation are completely immaterial qualities, people/children can smell this stuff, and boy did Trump smell. A good leader inspires people to be better. Even more so for the figurehead of free world, I think folks should be able to say "look, that's our leader, he's a good (wo)man" to their children. They could with Obama, they couldn't with Trump. You're a parent, does this not cross not your mind at all?
> but that's not really reducing the costs that the web3 app would have otherwise paid to have a local database

I'm not sure what you mean? It literally makes the cost to the developer 0 per user.

And the original developer can absolutely earn money this way. In fact, in web3 it's possible for frontend devs to earn money by creating better frontends to existing protocols utilizing referral fees that can be specified in calls to the protocol!

> But shouldn't we be striving for a world where it isn't a bad call? Reputation used to mean something,

Reputation isn’t proof. It also carries no context.

If the service is very meaningful to you, then why wouldn’t you want a legal contract?

> I don't know what your intent was, but you come off as defending twitter on this as there was no written contract. While everyone is equal under codified law, we shouldn't forget some people have more influence than others over what gets codified.

Case and point of reputation. You assume I’m defending Twitter, because you can’t imagine that I can agree that it’s a scummy move while also pointing out that it’s bad practice to rely on a company’s word.

As for my intent?

I’m annoyed, dealing with like-minded individuals and engineers.

Having to teach engineers that coding and behavioral contracts get broken, and so code must be written defensively; in a world where pushing out features and adoption is “impact” is quite the uphill battle.

It just took a couple of decades for businesses to realize that “free” has some severe hidden costs.

And appealing on social media hoping to get attention, in a world where there’s too much information and noise?

I’m flabbergasted.
Hear, hear. My last side project was meant to be a library, but people liked the demo I built for it so much they kept pressuring me to start a hosted service. In another age, I would have been ecstatic. But nowadays, I love my job. I have a family to take care of. I don't need--as you said--a part time job. I just want to make things that are fun for me.
>Email is sent over cleartext, it is not encrypted. Anyone can read email if they can inspect packets.

That's obviously false if you bothered to do a bit of searching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol#...

>You can email anyone on the internet as anyone and it will be delivered with NO validation. Clients may/may not validate any DKIM signature and the may/may not validate that it actually came from the domain. It's literally the easiest thing on earth to spoof.

That might be true for some systems, but for most services out there, having missing/invalid anti-spoofing measures will result in your mail ending up in spam or not delivered at all.
I haven't read the underlying studies but I wonder if this applies to consistent noise or just intermittent sounds, like the airplanes and railway line examples they focus on.

Personally I can't sleep in a quiet room, so I put on white noise generator plus usually music or podcasts. I find that subjectively I sleep better with some relaxing sounds. However, it could be possible that my brain isn't properly turning off and I'm just unaware of it.

Their possible explanation is that the brain is waking up to process whether a sound is dangerous, which makes sense for intermittent sounds, but you would imagine we're adapted to sleep properly in the presence of semi-intermittent/constant sounds which would be normal in nature.
Sounds like your experience is very different than mine. Do you work at faang, maybe Amazon?

I feel my work life balance is absurdly nice, I’ve actually worked in a call center, I could go on… but my theory is that when I am feeling mini-burnout, it’s (well, (a) legit need to better attend to other pets of my life, and counteract being a homebody from Covid… but also)

.. but also one factor is when I worked for a call center, I knew I could do better. Now that I’ve ‘made it’—relative to my old position-it’s like, now what?

Earplugs gave you tinnitus? Do you mean earbuds? Earplugs are typically hearing PPE.
It's because almost all the noise in the modern world is caused by cars and motorcycles, and in the United States are prioritized over all other life forms.

In most US states, local governments are explicitly given power by the state government. It is not like the relationship between state and federal governments: the local governments are strictly beneath the state government.

No, I’m saying I’d like to install eslint at the root of the repo and turbo could just spawn a process to use the root install of eslint for each package in the monorepo using the root config. Could do the same with prettier etc. just use a sub process to spawn and control the directories it runs against.

I’d like to see this for other tools too. I know turbo knows what the root of my repository is, this would make tools and reusabilty more efficient. It’s be even better if I could pass arbitrary arguments to actions like that so commands know where they are operating

It gets tiresome having to copy configuration and what not. Just less files to manage and less places to have to update things overtime.

It’s almost like you need gulp tasks again or something like that and the whole idea is to get away from task runners right? Yet I still need to manage my per package configs and pipelines on top of turbo

Turbo still forces you to have to think about so many other parts of the pipeline. At least nx has plugins but it’s support outside of their happy path for customizations is horrid, but turbo just lacks any thought to this problem of re usability on a task basis.

I don’t want to litter the package.json for each packages with every dependency they need to operate actions be it formatting, minting, etc because that means I have to check them all for different versions, make sure new packages have the same layout etc. A task runner like turbo should be aware enough to know how to do segmented task running by spawning processes for each package without needing a copy of whatever tool installed for each package
That's what the GDPR mandates already - the problem is that there's no serious enforcement of it so websites are allowed to get away with non-compliant banners.

Cookies is purely for the previous "ePrivacy Directive" (aka stupid cookie law) but nowadays you must comply with both - and complying with the GDPR will in the vast majority of cases inherently comply with the ePrivacy Directive anyway.
Sometimes out of a similar desire I will wear noise cancelling earbuds inside of noise cancelling over the ear headphones. No music no sound, pure silence.

Obviously not a cheap solution but doubling up is better than any earplugs I've ever used.
Well based on how I spend my weekends where I'm fully recharged and energetic to get shit done, I assume it's the lack physical energy. Cause when I have the energy and mental power I do the things that I want to do.

One difference is that if I actually had a real deadline I would deliver no matter how tired/exhausted I am, but I'm not sure that's sustainable.
Can you expand on this structured framework? I also went through a severe bitterness (and cynical) phase, on top of blindly throwing myself into everything without regard for my sanity. So I fear myself walking down the same path you were on. I quit a few months back and have done zero tech-related work with no intention to come back anytime soon. But I wonder that when I do, nothing will have changed and I'm going to not even want to open and read the text in any arbitrary email, let alone "deliver" anything.
*engaged ;)
The land war between Russia and Ukraine that's happening right now, and the decade+ of land war the US waged in the Middle East before that, make me think any bickering between Google and Apple still look worlds away from corporate-conflict dystopia (of course, this is a critique that also applies to Snow Crash and The Diamond Age, which were corp-heavy).
And C)you relax from a stressful situation by drinking, like going to the bar after a difficult day.
I think you got the US value slightly incorrect. 3.3 billion / 2 mile = 3.3 billion / 3.218688 km

That’s $1.03/km, no?
Apple's system will only work until they decide to shut you out or shut down this service for whatever reason. Anonymity is not really a concern for most uses, privacy, longetivity and reliability of reception is though.

I still want to use random unique addresses even for important and trusted services, not just for throwaway uses. So third party domain is not an option.

I use self-hosted unique addresses mostly for registering to services, so forwarding those messages in both directions through Apple's service would expose all those services to a silent takeover via password reset by Apple's employees in control of this service. So this service is exactly as useful as those random throwaway email inboxes available on the web. More polished maybe.

Done the same for over 10 years with a local "@Worklog.md" file on a light text editor (to get syntax highlighting). Can be synced with Dropbox or Obsidian too.

Recently switched to do the same on Notion, moving items in a "Worklogs" database at the end of each month (with one entry per month) to keep the Worklog size manageable. If a task gets too long I can just create a sub-page for it (or a toggle), put all the context information there, and just add a link to the TODO item.
I'm saying that, given most online retailers are moving products from 3rd parties, the costs are primarily going to be focused on those third parties. And among the third parties those whose businesses necessitate more returns (bad sizing info online, poor build quality) are worse. Those companies getting punished in the market is fine, and seems healthy. Companies that make it easier to order the genuine article you want will do better. Those with counterfeits, an inabilty to deliver the correct item, or bad size information will go out of business
Package management is also drastically simplified because cargo is standard vs you have to basically do everything from scratch in Python land

> A lot of times what people are really talking of when they express concerns about "free speech" is the ethical value. This is frequently countered with an argument about the legal protection, but that's kind of missing the point IMHO.

That's true, but also I think people sometimes have an overly narrow focus on one single aspect of legal protection - especially, in the US context, the First Amendment. While 1A is the most crucial way in which the US legal system seeks to support that ethical value, there are other ways – something which violates the ethical value of free speech may not violate 1A, yet may violate other legal provisions.

To give just one example – California Labor Code sections 1101 and 1102 outlaws political discrimination in employment in the State of California. This can provide added protection to the ethical value of free speech compared to 1A. 1A does not prevent private employers from firing employees for publicly expressing particular political views – at least in some cases, 1101&1102 will. And a few other states have similar legal provisions, and there is always the chance that more states could adopt laws like this – getting state laws amended is far easier than amending the federal constitution, or putting in place a Supreme Court bench which will interpret it a certain way.
I've never understood the banana reference. Are they saying that there's so little radiation from a high altitude flight that it's the equivalent to a banana, or that a banana is an unusually high source of radiation?
Many moons ago I did the "drunken stumble around europe" thing with a friend. We tried to stick to trains wherever practical, but crossing the alps by rail was something like 20x the cost of the same trip by budget air.

We keep getting guilted for flying everywhere, but projects like this are needed to make the alternatives practical.

Anecdata but I recently got headphones with noise cancelling and my quality of life shot through the roof. According to my smartwatch, my heart rate is lower and stress levels are down. Unfortunately, I have to take my headphones off to go to sleep and I'm immediately reminded of the shoddy fridge in my apartment, vent noises, and my neighbor who doesn't realize it's 11:30 PM.
I do wonder if all the new AI-based "upscaling" algorithms, which can fill in detail to make an image larger, can be used to produce a compression-decompression algorithm: Perform a heavily lossy compression, then "upscale" the result and see if it returns to a good-enough match. If so, compress even further, until your upscaling no longer gives you a good-enough match.

Like regular JPG encoding, this can be set to an arbitrary level of "good enough."

No NIMBY on the top of a mountain
Ask HN: What to do about Gmail blocking my email?
Hi everyone,

I’m at my wits’ end. Regardless of how many hoops I jump through, gmail refuses to deliver my email. Everything that comes from my email server is marked as spam. My email server is correctly configured with the following:

* reverse DNS record

* starttls transmission

* DMARC

* 2048 bit DKIM key

* strict SPF policy

* clean IP reputation

Despite doing all of this correctly (gmail confirms I pass all of these tests) it still puts my messages into spam. I’ve used googles postmaster’s tools and the only thing they say on my domain is that they have no data. As far as I can tell I am being punished for being a low traffic / small mail host.

Is this legal? Is this the basis for a potential anti-trust lawsuit? If my only sin is not using a large established mail gateway, is that fair?

What are HN’s opinions on / workarounds for / solutions to this? I can’t be the only one dealing with this issue.

As a workaround I’m considering figuring out a way for postfix to use a mail gateway (like sendgrid) when the destination domain is gmail.com.

Thanks!
Believe it or not, most people are worse writers than AI. This is why liberal arts degree programs are valuable. You get this kind of nonsense out of your system early and won’t end up thinking it’s profound and interesting to other people.
Separate out the "central" bit of centralisation.

I think we need DNS for all.

A "secrets service" where people can put a short encrypted message - big enough for an IPv6 address + future extendability - for all to see.

Then users can swap keys, agree on a "secrets service" (or many of them) to store their secret/IP address, and skip any other centralisation altogether.

Apps (open source or otherwise) can then leverage this service to let users simply talk directly to each other.
In defense of the TSA, "security theater" is a legitimate form of security. They may never catch any would-be hijackers, but how many didn't make an attempt because they knew that they wouldn't be able to reliably sneak a gun past security? Look into news reports from the 60s and 70s, before serious security at airports. Hijackings were almost normal. Today, hijackings are thankfully almost non-existent. You don't end speed traps just because nobody got caught speeding last year.

I also appreciate the security theater because it makes airports a generally drug-free environment. I bet few here have ever spent much time on a bus. Not a short hop on a city bus, an overnight inter-state trip on a greyhound. I have a couple times and each time I would have PAID for a TSA-style check before boarding. It would weed out 99% of crazy/high people who make such journeys so miserable for everyone around them.

A typical long trip by bus, without the TSA:
