I made something similar that I've been using for several months now: https://shroud.email/

The concept is fundamentally the same as Hide My Email or DuckDuckGo's service, but it's libre software and has (IMO) a better UI to manage addresses. It also stops tracking pixels, which Hide My Email doesn't do unless you also use Mail.app. It's hosted in the EU and runs entirely on renewable energy.
Here's an alternative story.

In 1993, Sears exited the mail order business. In 1994, Amazon was founded.

It might have been different. Sears already owned Prodigy. The World Wide Web already existed in the early 1990s. PCs had been available for over 10 years. Modems had reached 28Kb/s. What if Sears had simply put their huge catalog on line and started taking orders? Sears already had the logistics infrastructure for deliveries.

Amazon might never have launched.

I'm a nocoin/nevercoin blockchain skeptic who hates shitcoin spam too, but I wonder: does people posting tweets about "shitcoins" violate Twitter's usage policy, or just offend your sensibilities? I could see how posting the same thing twenty times might violate a policy, though not sure if it violates Twitter's. I only post about infosec and politics on Twitter and some users might not like that either!

It's moments like these, when facing your own mortality, when the mind starts looking for something bigger. To some it may be religion, for others it could be something completely different.

I think a lot of people feel similarly although it is maybe not the first thing that comes to mind, but to me, music is one of those things that carries an inherent immortality in it. Music is able to touch us emotionally like not a lot of other things can. Listening to a beautiful piece of music can be very inspiring, and in can also give comfort. It has this feeling of an eternal beauty, I find, it's hard to put in words.

Just think of it this way: We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.
I’m doing my PhD on the formal verification of Rust, and while you’re right that safe code provides a lot of informal advantages it also dramatically simplified form reasoning.

In particular, the dirty secret of C verifiers is that they don’t handle pointers all that well. Either you find yourself doing a lot of manual proof work or you have to dramatically simplify the memory model.

In contrast, when verifying safe Rust, the rules of the borrow checker allow us to dramatically simplify the verification work. All of a sudden verifying a manual memory program with pointers (borrows) becomes as simple as verifying a basic imperative language. I’ve been working on a tool: https://github.com/xldenis/creusot to put this into practice

On the other hand, the moment you dive into unsafe, all bets are off and you find yourself wading through the marshes of (weak) memory models with your favorite CSL as your only friend.

> Politicians are at least in theory incentivized to reduce costs since citizens would rather not pay more taxes, and in theory a politician who enacts wasteful policies would not be elected.

Politicians are incentivized to give lip service to reducing cost, not actually reduce costs. They only need to look like they're more likely to reduce costs than their opponent, assuming the voter actually cares enough in the first place. Further, it assumes that politicians even know how to reduce costs when they have no experience what-so-ever in running a train company.

I've read a couple of CRDT papers but never used them in anger. (Zero interest in collaborative text editing, but a lot of interests in multi-master systems involving local databases that lose internet connectivity).

Anyone have any good war stories? The general impression I get is that anything more than a state delta two-phase set is an open research problem to implement efficiently - the papers make it sound pretty straight forward but there's a whole garbage collection problem to deal with, there was another research paper dealing with just that IIRC.

Low frequencies need to be much louder than mid frequencies to be heard at the same volume. Tiny speaker cones do not have enough power to make low frequencies audible, at least without extra technology. Apple uses passive radiators and speaker enclosures to get around this limitation. PC laptop companies either aren't interested in investing in improving this or can't due to patents.

It's the first time I've ever heard of this law and isn't true in the general case or entirely not enforced. I've ridden Amtrak (outside major corridors) several times and every time the train has had to stop to let freight trains pass. It's never had priority.
All else being equal, more people = more noise.

Since all else isn’t equal, you could design cities that are quieter than the most suburbs. But you could also design suburbs that are quieter than most cities.

In the US at least I linked a study that showed cities are far louder on average.
> They have no authority or control over gas prices, supply chain issues, or autocrats invading other countries.

They may not have direct control... but nobody is arguing the President literally said "supply chain issues, start existing!" or failed to say "gas prices, you better not rise!" while waiving his finger.

Presidents absolutely have indirect control over all of those things though, and more.
I've been noticing something similar with "phone-number look-up" sites.

I put that in quotes as I've entered numbers I know and find that what's being presented is apparently randomly-generated IDs.

The overt use is checking when unknown numbers call (or going through call history) and trying to get a sense of who the number is associated with.

The general location is usually plausible (so the generators are relying on local exchange numbers), but the specific street addresses and subscriber names appear generated, and specific street addresses may not actually exist.

I'm generally puzzled by the HN conventional wisdom against meetings, and I'm puzzled by this thread specifically because there doesn't seem to be a single commenter who is as much as just fine with meetings.

Am I really in such a small minority, or has HN turned into an echo chamber on this issue, where no one with a countervailing opinion dares to get a word in?

Having a meeting interrupt my work ranges from slightly irritating (if it comes during flow, but I can always easily get back into the groove later) to a welcome break from the intellectual stress of solo development work. I get to interact with my colleagues, learn about what they've been doing, and understand more about what the team needs and what our customers need.

Have I forgotten that I sold my soul to the devil to obtain a unique ability to focus, and regain focus after interruption? Or are there a double digit percentage of HN inhabitants who are just like me but not speaking up in this thread?

I don't know how I would understand my team mates as people, understand what they need from me and understand what other parts of the business need from me without meetings. Am I missing something here?

>1. It is common to use USD because it is convenient, but it is not a standard. There is no structure that forces it.

>It is not the USD that is powerful, it is the US. The US is a vast economy with a strong rule of law tradition. Common use of USD is a side-effect of that.

I wish the legions who, in online discussions of the US dollar (or almost anything US foreign policy/military-related), always bring up how the US dollar/economy's strength is based on the "petrodollar", how the US goes to war to preserve the dollar's role as a reserve currency, how Russia/China/Saudi Arabia can cause the dollar to crash by using another currency, etc., would understand this.

No, kids, if Saudi Arabia suddenly started selling all its oil in Euros or Yen on renminbi, the US would not send the Sixth Fleet off its shore, any more than it did so to force KSA to use the US dollar to price its wares in the first place. Saudis (and Russians, and Chinese, and everyone else) use the US dollar because they find that a) using it is more convenient than another hard currency like the Swiss franc or British pound, and b) no one else wants riyals, rubles, or renminbi.
True… but I can’t have 5h of meetings a day and be expected to produce much…

Once all the yaks are shaved and you get around to the original goal?

Though, for myself, previous rounds of yak shaving has made it easy to start a “simple” project and usually get it finished in a reasonable amount of time since what I mostly do is write wrappers for the python C-API and my system is pretty solid at this point. Makes it easy to test out different libraries even if the end goal is to use it from a C(++) program.

Probably need to get a grip on the yaks I’m currently herding if I ever want to finish my current long term project.

> […] a city where i have to use a smartphone a lot more for uber, food, maps, payments and entertainment for long commutes.

That sounds dystopian. I can understand how a smartphone might be required if you are exclusively dependant on private ride sharing companies for transport, but the rest? Ordering food can be done on a normal computer, or just by calling or going out (buying food to cook yourself just requires going to a supermarket). Maps exist on paper, or on any computing device with a browser. Portable music players and paper books are still a thing for entertainment.

Does paying for services require a smartphone where you live?
Well, for the sake of safety, security and convenience, we will all be required to have green passes, so that we can show id, store our cdbc govcoin, ensure our health info is current.

The plan is to track and trace everyone, everything, everywhere. And most people are pretty much on board! Using credit cards, capitulating to govt. requests, shopping at megacorps, splashing their data all over the place, spy phones, coding the future dystopia,
etc.

Amtrak is actually late to the party, but it did eventually get the memo, it seems.

Holy batman strawman. Elections are hinged by a tiny % of swing voters. These were the 80k or so voters in Swing states. I never said anything about the rest of the voter base.

Respectfully, I suggest before telling others to re-read, some basic understanding of civics, electoral college, constituency and how elections are held would be helpful for yourself.
I think the idea of deep work has a place too. I haven't read the book but I think it touch's Linus locking himself away at a critical point in Linux's development. Bill gates did something similar (not sure what he was working on at that time).
This is a problem, but this is a problem with centralized websites too. How many links to broken blogs, broken youtube videos or to broken tweets have you ever encountered? Heck, most people don't even link to tweets anymore, they just post screenshots. The current internet is terrible at archiving information.
Usually people find that there are simpler/better ways to get the job done.

Here's all the ways I know for dealing with write conflicts in a distributed systems:

- Last write wins, AKA I'm going to pretend I've solved the problem and just randomly lose data

- Record all versions of the data, pick an arbitrary winner, store a revision, and surface it to the user if there's a conflict (the CouchDB strategy, I don't know anything else using this)

- Model your data so it's append only (events, maybe) then merge just becomes a set union of all the different nodes[0]

So including CRDTs, that's my general taxonomy of solutions to this problem. Are there more?

[0] Working on a prototype for this right now, if anyone has done similar work I'd love to pick your brain, email in profile.

Suppose you were President. How would you control those things, and with what authority? And how would you prevent unintended consequences that are worse than the problems you set out to solve?

You don’t have to answer this question, but it’s a really useful thought exercise. Leadership is much harder than people often realize.
> our current society makes it very difficult to live without a smart phone

I call baloney. It's not a matter of society, it's what kind of life style you prefer. I've never owned a mobile phone in my life, and I consider myself a happy part of society.
Interesting. The fact that people already do kill themselves regardless of it being permitted or not seems to me to be an argument against legalizing it because it being illegal doesn't stop many people... but it may help them avoid being coerced into it.

I wouldn't care to argue that case-- I think assisted suicide should be legal, but the concern that the legality of it can lead to people feeling pressured into it seems quite legitimate to me.
In the US you have so many Harley's too. At some point (as a kid) I was really impressed when a Harley came past. "WOWWW! Imagine what it would like to be that guy!". Eventually everyone got a Harley and every single one of the riders needed a super loud exhaust. It's certainly less impressive today.
We moved to a townhouse 2km from the city centre after living 15km outside the city and the difference in noise is staggering. We had a mildly trafficked 70km/h road about 150m from our house (with a property in between) and the noise from that road was more or less constant. We could hear cars from almost a kilometre away over the open fields, so one car per minute meant almost constant noise.

Now we live in a not-so-popular area built during a great housing programme in the 60s ("miljonprogrammet" in Swedish) and we love it. Lots of green areas, all parking is in the outer perimeter so we have almost no traffic. The modern areas built in town are nowhere near as well planned from a life quality perspective.

I am not anonymous (nor even pseudonymous) here, so I might as well mention that the area is Vilbergen in the city of Norrköping.
