Interesting, I never really thought of it that way. I always saw it as someone creating a market for buyers and sellers of insulation installation/maintenance labor.

I'm probably oversimplifying his involvement though. He does have to supervise on jobs, fire bad workers (which there is a lot, even in the unions) and deal with the day to day stuff.

If that's the case it would appear to be unrelated to this as all the children in the UK experiencing it aren't vaccinated.

Or what 99% of ajax did. What I really want to see is for html to work toward what people are actually doing with web pages.

I basically want a lawnmower not a bag of parts that allows me to build my own. I know how to sort tables but I don't want to. I know how to dynamically xhr, display and insert auto complete values but I don't want to write it and I don't want the chunk of js on the page. I definitely don't want to load a library for it.
Links usually don't display a favicon next to them only when you open the page the browser tab title does. It'd be pretty cluttered imo if random images were shown in an otherwise text-based environment.

Thank you for showing this! My employer is actively hiring investors, and I’ll share this with the person heading that search.

Relevant to the HN crowd, we’re also hiring data scientists and software engineers. It’s rare for a VC firm to have its own engineering team building a product, which is part of what makes it so fun. Do you think these technical jobs would be relevant to your board’s audience?
nah you don't know how people spend their time. I'm very active in attempting to address all sorts of problems as I find them, it's my major activity other than working for survival. shitting on crypto is like 2% of my time and energy, it's very easy to fit it in alongside.

that said, given the ecological and economic costs of crypto and its failure to produce anything of value so far. sitting on your ass is more a service to society than getting involved in it is.
It's like leaving the front door open for a laundromat. If it's open it's expected to be ok to enter and use.

I can vouch for the Framework. It doesn't feel beta at all. I'm running Xubuntu 21.10 on it an it rocks. Someone created a repo with salt scripts which works all the kinks of the laptop under Ubuntu.

If you don't analyze it properly there's always the risk of condensation in the walls, but that risk is far higher from uninsulated walls. With uninsulated cavity walls you have room temperature + room humidity on the interior, and a sharp gradient to outside temperature within the wall, where all the moisture condenses in the winter. Worst possible situation.

There's tons of published guidelines about moisture in insulated walls. The easiest thing to build without making some fatal mistake is to put the insulation on the exterior, with a ventilated screen between it and the wall cladding. The best solution also depends on your local climate. See e.g. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/56709.pdf

Safari and VSCode are not open source.

This is rather cool. I sometimes think about using a laptop motherboard in a custom built case and pushing the CPU/GPU to their limits (no bueno without that, BIOS must allow full voltage/TPL control).

Is it practical? Maybe if you want a very thin/light/quiet desktop that can run a long time on a built-in battery... otherwise, just an interesting project and a way to reuse older laptop boards.

> it’s naïve to expect that it will remain outside of government control

Not sure what about crypto is outside government influence.

Crypto is regularly taxed, seized and landing people in jail. Countries that can't manage that wouldn't find an offshore bank account, as evidenced by their entire population of elites having one. "Government can't touch my crypto" is a founding myth.

i will add to this that if recruiters or code interview people expect you to be a liar or fraud, by default, then they will be looking for evidence and the slightest misstep will instantly be a “fail” with the excuse that they prefer to have missed a great candidate than risk hiring a bad one, which is the typical passive aggressive BS you deal with.

tl;dr: They have to stay at home, but still get food. When they are sick they're taken to a hospital.

People are angry because of the lack of agency, primarily. Or so the article claims :) It is a US publication, and they always have to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to anything that isn't the US.
> Problem is that this democracy/central bank is not stable in every country. So crypto provides real "internet money", with all benefits and drawbacks.

Except that, from a practical perspective, if you live in a country without a stable "democracy/central bank," using fiat from a stable country (e.g. dollars or euros) is a better solution than cryptocurrency in pretty much all cases. AFAIK, cryptocurrency isn't in proper circulation anywhere, so you're likely going to have to do the same kind of forex transactions to get it, plus you're going to need a computer and internet to use it. Also stable-country fiat also doesn't come with weird ideological monetary policy ideas baked in (e.g. "money should be deflationary!").
This article: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2315740-mystery-outbrea... - states the kids were aged 2 to 5, which is too young for the vaccine.
I totally agree with this too. Additionally, MrChromebox is doing some great work in terms of fully liberating some of these older machines!
Just make it hibernate after X time (2 hours for me). There a repo of scripts on github (https://github.com/lightrush/framework-laptop-formula) where you might find information on how to do it. I'm sure it's not a 1 to 1 port to Arch, but it might get you started. Just note I had to disable secure boot for hibernate to work.
I need to get into CO2 monitor sales and then some cloud connected device that changes the CO2 levels somehow (maybe just a fan). After that, sell a subscription to adjust the CO2 ppm through a website. People will fiddle with it and pay the subscription for the rest of their lives.

I don't believe that is the case. I have been reading the WSJ since the 1980's, before it was acquired by Murdoch, and the Op-Ed section back then was already way to the right of most mainstream media, and the WSJ news gathering organization. I don't think that Murdoch has improved the quality of the WSJ, but he has not changed Op-Ed editing.
Linux and MacOS
People don't "accept" the reduction of their purchasing power. They live with it due to lack of better alternatives. Bitcoin doesn't adequately meet the criteria most people have for something to be considered money, namely portability and stability. All of the existing solutions that could help it meet the requisite criteria involve some kind of centralization, therefore it is not a better alternative.
I don’t trust Shodan (a Corporation) not to hide / omit certain results or certain ranges. A self hosted scanner that could be deployed on a cheap VPS would be a better solution. having the ability to scan the entire internet is pretty fascinating honestly. Who knows what kind of sick and bizarre content dredging the entire internet with no filters might dig up.
The one big thing thats always deterred me from Macs is the poor ecosystem for gaming. I dont play a lot of games anymore, but its a pretty reliable way of getting some much needed socialising in so I probably wouldn't want to lose it completely.

The problem is most workarounds I've seen are either to severly limit the games I can play or to get another computer/console for playing games, which just seems to be turning one problem into two. You can't even dualboot anymore, now that we have M1.
Thanks for extensions.

But I think there's no need to integrate its functionality to the site. This way one can choose how to customize the site without increasing complexity of the site itself.
I'll give you one guess which is the "statement"

hint - it's the one that spends an outrageous amount on marketing, SO MUCH SPEND that they stopped revealing how much they were spending in 2015, after the marketing budget grew above 1.8 billion USD.

That one - I can absolutely promise you that that one is the "statement" computer.
Apple is a luxury fashion company and Apple hardware is a way for people to express social status, which means convincing as many other people as possible that Apple is desirable in order to elevate the effectiveness of their social status signaling. It's the same as any other luxury fashion brand, e.g. Louis Vuitton. The value is not in the function of the product itself, but in the perception of status that it engenders.
I think the issue from an OEM perspective is that if their product isn't fighting the consumer, the consumer will use the product to fight them. Which isn't totally unfounded.

Apple doesn't want to spend the man hours (or charge the cost) of unfucking iphones that regular consumers fucked with all the freedom they have.

Don't mistake this post as a defence of Apple or the like. It's merely a recognition of the issue from their side.
> People shitting on crypto, while sitting on their ass without addressing the problems in other ways are doing society a disservice.

But cryptocurrency doesn't address any real problems. The claims that it does are mostly BS and marketing.

The problems cryptocurrency solves are ones that are created by holding to peculiar ideologies and/or speculating about problems that haven't happened and may never happen.

The one thing cryptocurrency has succeeded at is being something for financial speculation, which has given a lot of people strong incentive to hype it relentlessly.
I've been using a MacBook Pro 2015 for a while now for my personal stuff - it's been nothing but reliable for everything from programming to surfing the web to DJ mixing. Just recently, the battery cycles exceeded normal usage and I got a notification from the system that the 'Battery should be replaced soon' - almost as soon as this happened, I experienced random slowdowns, freezing, etc just doing low-intensity tasks like browsing this site. Open up Activity Monitor and find that the 'kernel_task' is absolutely throttling my CPU. Long story short, this particular MacBook Pro had a battery recall and Apple replaced mine for free - worked just like new after that, which I'm grateful for since it's basically the best laptop I've ever used.
"must go faster"?
I don't doubt you know that cadence :), but without the additional info you just provided with the x.y.0 and x.y.1 distinction it didn't seem accurate when compared to the actual dates of the releases.

So, to clarify:

x is year (counting from 2016=1) ? (OR first release of a year gets a major version bump)

IF last digit is 0 then y is to be decoded as:

0=April

1=August

2=December

OTHERWISE IF last digit is 1 the y may (or may not) be decoded as above.
That would imply that programmers care about users. I've never met a single programmer who cared what the user experience was like. Today they even brag about this, saying "I only want to care about my code!" I see it here on HN all the time, and I hear it in companies.
I use a Mac Book from time to time and the keyboard alone is special... I don't think Mac is a good universal machine for development to be honest. The devices overall are nice, out of the question, but a Linux machine is ultimately more powerful.
Authenticated origin pulls are mutually exclusive with their tunnel. If you configure your firewall so that only the cloudflared tunnel process can access your origin server, then you can already be assured the request is coming from Cloudflare.
What you've described is actually for placement, not routing, and is in fact a good analogy for the first step in many placement algorithms.

Interestingly, placement is much harder than routing from a complexity theory point of view (specifically, there are fairly strong inapproximability results for placement-style problems).
That'll potentially be the first trans character I'll ever be aware of in a TV show I'll watch.
- Banks and financial systems use COBOL/FORTRAN not because they want to, but because the systems are decades old, the knowledge of how it works often lost, and making small changes or adding new features could lead to catastrophic failure[1][2][3]. Crypto on the other hand tends to be on the cutting edge of cryptography and heavily reliant on open source. Despite crypto systems having a better bedrock than a bank trying to maintain their multimillion lines of COBOL spaghetti, I can agree that many end-user applications in crypto do not provide better security than today's banks (e.g. MetaMask hot wallet storing user private keys in the cloud).

- The ledger is generally considered immutable; but the platforms and protocols built on top of it need not be. Social consensus can pivot to a new contract address. An analogy would be a git commit; you can update the head of your codebase, but your past changes are still present and analyzable.

- Better support for zero-knowledge proofs would be the eventual end goal for many of these systems, allowing users to shield data and maintain their privacy. I agree that not every transaction should be public, and it's a limitation of current crypto currencies that will likely take several years to solve.

Purism Librem 14

Is my daily driver currently running Linux mint.

- overall very happy with it for my uses. I don’t do a lot of intense workloads on the laptop, mostly stuff like text editing and latex compiling.

- battery is great. With screen brightness reasonably low and working on low intensity tasks, I could get 8 hours I think pretty easily. Probably 3 hours of video calls.

- durability is good so far. My librem 13 lasted about 4 years before succumbing to a hinge issue which I believe has been addressed for the 14s

- ergonomics are good for me, trackpad keyboard etc. are great especially once you get used to them.

- expect some challenges if you’re going to run a different distro. Be prepared to put in some effort. Things are probably better now it’s been out longer.

- due to foss requirements the wifi range isn’t the greatest. You can easily and cheaply switch out the card if you want.

- One issue I had was plugging in a certain external dock to the usb c port and the entire computer shuts off immediately.

- not sure how it fares for intense compute tasks. I rarely get any fan noise but sometimes it will kick in noticeably.

I also echo others that, depending on the battery life situation, take another look at framework. I haven’t put a ton of hours on it yet but a very pleasant machine.

The question is rather, what (possibly horrible, dystopian) methods will we use to prevent a demographic crisis as fertility rates are plummeting most places in the world, as most projections now suggest population decline will start within a century.

Turns out the method that have worked the best against "those who insist on breeding like rats" is to treat them humanely, reduce childhood mortality, increase education and provide a more stable economic environment - do that and fertility rates plummet - with or without additional pressure like China's infamous one-child policy.

As it stands, China is set to face decline within a decade or two despite having dropped their previous draconian measures to reduce fertility rates - their fertility rates are now slowly increasing, but they're still far below replacement. India is set to see decline ~3-4 decades later - they're now about at replacement, with fertility still dropping, but there's a lag of a few of decades from the decrease in fertility to population decline. Sub-saharan Africa will likely be last, but even those countries are seeing declining birth rates (e.g. even Niger, which has one of, if not the, highest fertility rates in the world is at around 6.6 births per woman now, but the rate peaked at 7.9 in 1983 and has been declining consistently since, currently at a rate of about 1.3% a year; UN projections suggest they'll reach ~4 by 2050, and around ~2.3, slightly above replacement, around year 2100)

As a result, expect countries to start competing for immigrants, and to start increasingly desperate attempts to get people to have more children. E.g. China has gone from it's one-child policy to allowing three [1] in an attempt to stem the coming decline, with only little effect so far, and you can expect China will see additional policy changes to try to drive the fertility rates back up.

The comedic potential is worth a hell of a lot of publicity and public interest.

People take rovers driving around mars for granted these days. It took 20yr of driving a few feet a day and accompanying monthly press releases about interesting rocks disseminated to the scientific community and then trickled down to the public. Rovers driving around mars is firmly in the status quo. When one runs out of things to do we send another. We don't stop and debate about if it's worth it.

Enough memes about probing Uranus and outer planetary missions will become normalized in the public consciousness. That changes the dichotomy from "if we send a mission to <outer planet>" to "this time the mission will be to <outer planet>".
Right, but the parent poster is presumably going to spend most of his time under linux, at which point a native linux box seems like the reasonable choice.
I was more positive about crypto before the big NFT grift came along.

But even then, hardly anybody seemed to care about making crypto work as a currency. It was all about the speculation/gambling, get-rich-quick schemes, and memecoin pump+dumps. Nobody bought their groceries or paid their rent with crypto, it was just the currency of darknet drugs and cybercrime. And multi-million-dollar exchange hacks seemed to be almost weekly headlines.

Crypto wasn't going well, even before NFTs came along, and before the environmental opposition to mining ramped up.
