Realistically, the only thing that's Wild West about it is the fact that it's effectively skirting regulations applying to financial products. The rest looks like the standard influencer-type business model.
Yes, z-axis is the direction of the tape's "thickness" so electricity passes only from the thing stuck to the top to the thing stuck to the bottom (directly through the tape) without shorting the rest of the contacts.

I misread the question to be "what makes this 'z-axis' tape" rather than "which axis is the z-axis of the tape".

There's no way you could have good enough signal integrity. The frequency is high and there's no clever signal processing.

The theory of $GOD is based on a whim, feeling, and the use of psychedelics by self-appointed (or self-anointed) clerics who recognize a shared human condition of wanting a purpose

Siri is great for setting timers, making calls, and changing the volume when my hands are busy.

The biggest “WTF” moment was when I was using Siri in Russian, and told it to “lower the volume” (as I’d done hundreds of times in English). It lowered Siri’s volume, but nothing else (and told me as much).

Never did figure out how to adjust my music volume with Siri in Russian.

Wonder if you realize the irony...
People seem to like to do things on suboptimal devices. I've never quite understood it. Just the thought of wasting time not being able to use a mouse and keyboard makes 99% of tasks unbearable. But it's almost like you don't know what you don't know.

My 6 year old was playing Minecraft on a tablet / console for a long time before moving to the computer. He's said several times about how much better he is at it on desktop. I've never even mentioned to him that one's technically better than the other.
Until you try to do that on Fedora. Where Flameshot just doesn't work for reasons. You can install it, but can't actually open it. For reasons I don't know enough about the windowing systems in whatever my flavor of Fedora is using to understand.
This is completely absurd - anti-spam PoW is not remotely comparable to crypto miners, and the electricity cost will be so far below the noise floor of owning a computer in the first place that you will literally not notice (and neither will the environment), unless website owners are completely insane and set up multi-second challenges (which, they won't).

And, it's absolutely worth the cost - as a website owner, you get to impose costs on botting operations with minimal penalties for normal users and minimal environmental impact. Bots work because the costs of renting an AWS server and scraping websites (or sending spam, whatever) are extremely tiny - adding PoW challenges to everything that could be spammed suddenly massively changes the cost of running those spam operations, and would result in noticeably less spam if deployed widely.

In fact, the net "environmental impact" would be negative, as botters start to shut down operations due to greatly increased operational costs.
Yet here we see there really must be a need for insurance. If the building were insured, there wouldn't be a need for donations from around the globe to support its reconstruction. It would just be done out of policy. If the state was able to do this on their own and actually earmarked money in the budget to actually self insure this building, there wouldn't be a need for donations from around the globe. The state can't pay for it, which is why donations are required.

I mean, it can be both. The issue is sometime you do an "apt get" and it just doesn't work and the only solution you can find is "idk your apt cache is broken. Clean-slate your entire OS because at some point Apt crashed in a way that was unrecoverable."

Atheism is a spectrum. For example, agnostic atheists do not "definitely believe" there is no god.

Yes, but without the title preceding it, the statement loses its context.

It baffles me when people want to override authors on titles. Sure, sometimes it might make sense to do so, but most of the time the author is the person in the best position to present and explain what she has written.
www.joinef.com [entrepreneur first] has been wildly successful with this model since 2012. They pool together founders pre-idea a couple times a year and have them start companies together in batches. If you get investment I believe the deal is 80,000 GBP for 10% - aggressive deal but worth it considering their network.
There have been COBOL compilers for microcomputers since the early eighties.
I agree with you and I'm all in for right to repair, but I was referring to the specific point mentioned above -- "restoring from backup is a hassle".

If it is a hassle then you're doing it wrong and you'll be in all sorts of trouble if you lose your laptop / it gets stolen.
If a "veteran" cannot do meaningful work without the newbs, either that "veteran" is not very good or your processes are too manual.

The best programmers I worked with were not "rockstars", but "icebreakers" -- they would solve the hardest problems and leave the clear path for others. For example, they might solve a sporadic memory leak in a few hours, and thus save a less experienced team member at least a week of effort.

They were "10x" in the sense that any team they were on would get 10x better because everyone does more.
I am sure you are Christian. Ask Jews personally about Islam vs Christianity.

I've never understood this statement. Do you have any trusted sources of news? Are you not able to read them directly on the web?

Maybe you're just saying you want news about X, and you're not sure where to find a source that can tell you about that, and this is where you find "control". What kind of control are you talking about here? Deliberate? Accidental? Algorithmic? Censoring?
Now that makes me wonder how does Windows deal with this? Say when you open the task manager, what does the cpu usage % actually mean? I'd guess it's not measuring it in the same way Linux does, but I'd be surprised if it used pressure stall information?
I think you bring a very interesting point when you talk about how should so many different views be managed.

Well, that's I think one of the most interesting problems in political philosophy. And people have been discussing it since, well, forever! From Plato's republic to Machiavelli's The Prince.

In truth, I don't have an answer on exactly how is it that we can reach good decisions; but what I'm saying is that because there are so many different actors with different priorities it seems problematic for some of them to rule over everyone else. What are the decisions of the board prioritising? Probably share-price, and this comes with a whole set of baggage.

Is share-price really the parameter we should be optimising? I think many would say no, and in fact, I think when Elon Musk says he wants to take twitter private he might want the platform to go elsewhere; but what I question is that, is taking the company private really the most optimal way to ensure the platform heads in the right way? If you've got a good king, sure, you might have a good kingdom; but is this a sustainable way of structuring power? It doesn't seem as though it is, given that most countries in the world have transitioned from monarchies to more decentralized decision making structures.

Why is it that a platform like twitter is fine with a monarchic power structure but not our own states? I think in a way, I see twitter much closer to a state than I see it close to a small business that sells honey in the farm market. And so I think we ought to push for state-like, power structures. And in reality, I would like it for twitter to push it way further, to experiment and to improve on collective decision making! I don't think current states are as good as they could be.
Rather, you shouldn't fear a doctor's visit because if you learn you had cancer, well, you'd have it whether you knew or not, but now you know and can act. Of course, if there was nothing to do about the cancer but wait to die, and nothing to do about the aliens but wait for their bombs to arrive, then you may prefer not visiting the doctor or looking through the telescope.
This illustrates the worst thing about Play Store: I can search for an app that I know exists, but if it's not supported for my device /OS version, Google will pretend there's no such thing. Surely there's a reasonable UX solution for returning unsupported results such that even if you can't install them, you at least know they exist and what the requirements are.
To me, the former is a personal spiritual bond while the latter is an imposed social bond. And the further that social bond moves away from the individual experience, the more dimly I tend to view both the religion and its followers.

Rebuild by donations is asking for the project to delay for decades. Look at La Sagrada Familia for enough evidence of how long it takes to construct a culturally significant cathedral using donations and no state support or private investment.

And that cripples your experience of HN?

Unfortunately, it's hard/impossible to talk about this properly, because of that sentence starting "Which does mean that if you're thinking an easy of expressing". I can't work out what grammatical sentence they could've been going for, what they meant exactly, it's such a mangled mess. I try to repair it but can't.
I watched the first 15 minutes of this and what shocked me is how unrevealing it was. If someone recorded me over the course of weeks or months, I would almost certainly say something that would land me in hot water in some sense. This piece of 'investigative journalism' I actually found embarrassing, all this editing to big it up as some major conspiracy when to me, in that 15 mins at least, was at worst run of the mill lobbying. Considering how unsavoury a character Corbyn was, I actually found the subjects incredibly restrained, perhaps part of the JD however.
> it's also the case that I can't file electronically for free in my state at all (?????).

Up through the 2020 tax year, it was possible to e-file state taxes for free using state fillable forms (like you can use free fillable forms for federal taxes). But intuit decided to no longer provide that service this year.
Anisotropic means “depends on direction”. This tape has conductivity that is different in one direction than the other two directions. This is unique because many materials have a conductivity that is the same regardless of the direction of current flow.

Polarized is not the right word.
are fund returns tracked properly... anywhere? My experience with being a limited partner (LP) in ... places... is that each LP experiences wildly different returns based on what deals they are part of.

Its not like you invest in these kinds of funds at a certain watermark and hope your investment is at the time where things go up. you have no exposure to prior investments no matter how awesome or poor they were.

For funds that collect all the capital up front and close off, maybe thats fine.

For hedge funds (with a neat sidepocket) or other more open-ended funds it seems like you need multiple graphs based on when invested.
The truth value of your narrative is hardly factual either, I think this is yet another topic that everyone can only guess at what is actually going on, as opposed to what is claimed goes on.
Good article. I did not see this mentioned: Doesn't one of nix or guix have a mode to operate as a guest or overlay on an existing OS?

I find this[1] in the area of Nix as and OpenBSD guest, but I've barely glanced at it for applicability.

This is the #1 reason I use Firefox Container Tabs.

I can have a container for my work, personal, project, etc. where Google is logged in, and not commingle any of them, and all of the tabs are a different color, clearly distinguishable from one another. I have containers for separate Microsoft accounts as well. My "normal" tab is not logged in to any Google or Microsoft accounts, because why would I want them tracking me all over the web? Seriously, container tabs is one of the primary reasons I stick with Firefox, and it's FANTASTIC if you have multiple identities you need to manage.
Time might not exist, according to physicists and philosophers, but that's okay
I haven't had that experience. I can think of many people in my life who read books yet have a very conventional, restricted worldview. I also know people who read books and regurgitate them mindlessly. If you put a parrot around different people, it'll learn new phrases -- but it'll still be a parrot.

Books are nice, but I'm not sure they determine whether or not you think for yourself.
Ask HN: How to get started on Twitch (as non-gamer)?
I've never used Twitch before other than seeing them on youtube, but I'm starting to get more curious about using it as a platform for engaging with an audience and/or building a community etc..

I'm not a gamer and won't be using it for that. I'm still not sure what I want to use it for, and that's why I wanted to see how your experiences are with this, what kinds of live-streams you watch or know of, what topics, what format, using what types of features?, etc. And also why people even watch live-streams?? No judging, just curious because I don't do it myself.

I'm also clueless as to how I would go about actually starting it. 'Cause it's not like youtube where I can clean up a video and present it and share it etc etc. Clearly when I start off there's no audience? So I'm live-streaming to myself? Feels so sad haha. Is it normal to share this afterwards? How does one attract an audience?

Sorry for all the questions! Of course I can just start exploring Twitch myself but it's a whole 'nother world and I don't think it'll be nearly as wide-scoped as asking on here.

Thanks!
She could store it in her safety deposit box. Or in a fire safe we keep at home. Or buried in a tin can in the backyard.
Why not both?

The JWST contains entirely different class of equipment, none of the likes has been included before. It also includes some of the largest equipment, huge mirrors that are capable of capturing huge quantities of light.

Because of the frequency it is planning on looking at (enabled by how cold they're making the instruments), and because of the size of the mirrors (more light from dim sources), the JWST is going to be able to see waayyyy further, more dim, more old objects than any other telescope before. This is why the JWST is so exciting at all. It's going to tell us a LOT about the early history of the Universe.

The JWST is not about putting the iPhone 13 in space when we already have an iPhone 12. It's more akin to putting an X-Ray camera on the iPhone. Actually, "that telescope but more," projects are few and far between these days: most agencies aren't interested in doing "the same but a little more,"--most projects optimize for where the biggest difference can be made in science.

As an aside, you downplay the importance of angular resolution. If we're talking about visible light, having a space telescope take a picture of a galaxy in the visible spectra is obviously different and more useful than your phone/eye capture the "same" photons. Extra resolution is always enlighting because it provides us more information. Maybe that single point of light is actually not a single point of light, for example.
Most the terminals were in fact donated. The extent of the claim was a comment by Shotwell preceded by “I think”. Clearly she just had incomplete information.

"Reproducible" is a nice word, but I feel like if the granularity of the contents is "other APKs", then it's not as useful as reproducibility in tools which allow more arbitrary contents.

I know some people don't like seeing it brought up in every thread, but if you're talking about declarative, reproducible, minimal, SBOMs, non-Dockerfile building of OCI images, I think a comparison to Nix would be useful. -- Probably a tool like this is easier to use, and surely quicker; but with this you're restricted to just bunch of existing APKs.
Remember that they've already been practising this for months - it's not a first time thing - by now they likely know and understand the risks well

(Also NZ is full of helicopter pilots who work doing "deer recovery", snatching animals with shotgun-nets, hanging them under helos and pulling them off of near vertical mountain ridges - grabbing something under a chute is likely easy in comparison)
This headline is horribly misleading. The Ninth Circuit said that web scraping is not a violation of the CFAA, but that other causes of action, such as trespass to chattels, breach of contract, misappropriation, may still apply. Just super irresponsible writing.

Still, a very good day for scraping.

Hmm ... isn't God a value, not a variable?
What are you talking about. In Islam the Quran is considered the final revelation of God that is to remain preserved until the day of judgement. The previous prophets like Moses and Jesus (Peace be upon them) came with revelation too but they were corrupted by man who ascribed things to Allah by adding stuff up to the books.

Look how many version of the bibles there is. However, there is only one Quran. 114 chapters. It always start with surat Al-Fatiha and ends with surat Al-Anas.

The Quran is memorized by millions of muslims word by word. There is even a quran in a museum in the UK, Birmigham where it was carbon dated around the time of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). This demonstrate that the quran is preserved.

Moses and Jesus and all the previous prophets are muslims. In the sense that muslims means someone who submits his will to the one creator. However, as throught history it always devolved into polytheism. Look at christianity with the concept of the trinity. Islam is so simple and make so much more sense just worship one creator. He is not a man, not a woman doesn't have children, He is above all of this.

I would suggest looking at this video : What is the difference between the Quran & the Bible? | Great Explanation | Sh. Uthman Ibn Farooq : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0WSzqnJzRo
It's the threshold between "how much do we trust the author?" and the blanket claim of "used for ceremonial purpose" whenever something isn't entirely obvious. Yes, it's a real distinction. Archeologists and historians don't consider themselves one group at all.
They both do. I use Guix on Ubuntu right now as it means I can get the benefits of Ubuntu for running things like Steam and Nvidia drivers easily but also the benefits of Guix for programming stuff. It's not perfect though.
I follow a load of people who are written and visual artists, storytellers, animators, word fiends and all that ilk; a small minority are tech experts, or interested at all in open source. https://mastodon.art/ would be one example of an instance that caters for artists, rather than the techerati.
we have far similar values with each other than with atheists.

I would describe the values of the altruistic modern atheism of people I know, which has a lot in common with Christianity and Judaism at the big picture level, as "be good, do good." One needn't believe in God or gods to believe in good.
> In fact, many Christians and Jews were murdered or enslaved at his command because they refused to follow him.

That is false. The prophet Muhammad never killed Jews or Christians for not following Islam. The Jews he fought with and killed were due to political reasons. In most cases, treachery. One group he had a treaty with tried to assassinate him, for example.

This is a common islamaphobic trope.
