They actually do mention the noise, 50dB max.
That is equivalent to a "quiet conversation in a house".

BUT in a secluded camping spot, I'd bet it's quiet noticeable. (Compare a quiet conversation in a house to a quiet conversation in a library.)

If you normally camp near running water, you are more accustomed noise and might not even notice it. I once camped near a small stream, just wide enough that you could jump across it; it was shallow, and had a very calm 'babbling brook' sound during the day. Wonderful and calming. By bedtime this peaceful flow was an utter torment, and much too loud.
Dependency free? Isn’t Docker a dependency itself? And it’s the most annoying one — no other dependency constantly keeps a core going at 15% on my machine, or considers not upgrading a premium feature, or incessantly interrupts my work with NPS pop ups even when I’m doing nothing related to Docker.

If anyone at Docker is reading this, I mark “100% no” when you interrupt me with pop up asking if I’d recommend your product to a friend when I’m in the middle of working on something entirely unrelated to your product. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t.

We need to go back even further. Consider one of the things Markdown makes “easier”… making text italic or bold. Now ask, why do we have to resort to special syntax formats for this? It should be a simple function of the keyboard itself, no more complex then shift (or caps lock). Extend this to superscript, strike-thru, etc. and a good chunk of Markdown just evaporates.

We're better off if we can draw some clear lines that make it obvious when the tradeoffs get extreme.

If you're saying "here's a closed-loop unhackable console", or "here's a closed-loop media player" that's fundamentally a different value proposition than "here's a closed-loop unhackable general purpose computing device." It's sort of a toys versus tools dichotomy-- I'm fundamentally less bothered if someone sells me a permanently sealed and potted Game Boy, than intentionally crippling conventional desktop hardware.

Creeping DRM feels like they're trying to push the "tools" back into the "toy" category.

Part of this is likely a "we want our cake and to eat it too" mindset. They want to use more or less off-the-shelf technologies to make their sealed boxes. Why do you think most of the consoles eventually ended up as x86-64 or PPC derivatives-- they can freeload on all the work being done elsewhere. So they have to move from old-school hardware obscurity-- weird media formats which can't be readily wired to a normal PC, undocumented custom hardware-- to software lockdown.

But another part of it is the growing available functionality. The toys are becoming tools-- they want to put a browser and a media player and an online storefront onto their console, and then you're pretty damn close to "general purpose computing device" territory. So they need to find a way to justify the lockdown value proposition even on a device that has obvious user-tappable potential.

I'm curious how this relates to givedirectly's research https://www.givedirectly.org/research-at-give-directly/

As far as I know givedirectly have found that cash transfers are effective at improving people's long term wealth. But I've never heard anything about them moving people from the poor to the "less poor" mode of a bimodal wealth distribution. Maybe the difference is that this experiment was run in a place that has a clear bimodal distribution, which allowed them to observe this more easily?

Wish I could read the paper but it's behind a paywall and not on scihub.

Also those borrowers were receiving inflationary Anchor tokens as rewards. When the value of Anchor would spike high enough, borrowers were actually paying negative interest rates.

Looks very good, but if I read validation docs correctly there is no built-in validation for group of fields, like range of dates or product price range. Or even more complex where third field, type of product, defines lower boundary for product price range.

This means you have to somehow hook up into input/validation events for each field, add validation manually and then try to put errors in the right fields even if that is not the last modified field.
Inequality has increased but poverty has decreased. The world is so much wealthier now.

Yes high inequality is a problem but I'd argue too low inequality is a problem too. You need a difference of outcomes to motivate people. If that doesn't happen in currency it will happen in another way. For example people will invest in political power and work hard to corrupt the system in their favor. This happens with high levels of inequality but is reduced as there is a legitimate path to improving ones lot. There is something competitive in us the drives us to do better than our neighbors. That needs a legitimate outlet.
To be fair, the architecture used in the early “desktop” variants was quite different from the modern mobile ones (MBX/SGX and beyond); excepting the TBDR.

> Inflation is not just an increase in the base money supply.

Actually it can. During WWII, Germany was trying to make enough counterfeits and launder it to destabilize the allied powers' currencies. Many third world countries ended up remaining poor because their political leaders printed as much money as they wanted.

> But the gold standard has almost exactly the same properties as bitcoin, and gold-backed currency worked okay in the US for a long time.

God only filed some of the gold under the ground in the USA. He filed the rest of it elsewhere. The currency would then be based upon how much gold was mined and third parties could potentially be in control of the US currency.

As one freshwater economists argued: "Why gold? Why not french bordeaux?"

The quote that is no longer visible if you haven't turned on 'see dead posts' or whatever the setting is.

>Is it a bad idea to post this under your full name?
From my perspective, no, it is not a bad idea. It is a pretty toothless sentence, it expresses displeasure but doesn't even go so far as to insult..

On the other hand, I'm a vulgar contrarian and would be unlikely to face any social censure for saying things like that, so of course it seems relatively reasonable to me. Are you in a social context such that if you felt insulted in public and answered similarly that you'd fear backlash?

Netflix alters culture memo to stress the importance of artistic freedom
Sounds common sense to me. It’s sad that the woke are so rampant in the US that a company needs to codify common sense into its culture:

We program for a diversity of audiences and tastes," the statement reads. "And we let viewers decide what's appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices. "

The memo goes on to say that employees may have to work on content that they "perceive as harmful," warning that if this is difficult for them to accomplish, "Netflix may not be the best place for you."
Ask HN: Service to create virtual debit/credit card under diff name for partner?
Hey everyone, I've been googling for the last 5 hours, trying to open an account for my girlfriend on a digital bank like Zen but my account have been rejected (I am from South America), we tried Revolut but it didn't work, etc.

Basically I have a debit card and my girlfriend wants to travel with her sister. I can't give her my credit card because the names are not going to match, so I'd LOVE to know if there is a service that would allow us to create a virtual card under her name that uses my card in the background (or any simlar solution - opening an account and me tranfering money to her would work).

We tried this last suggestion with Payoneer, Zen.com and Revolut without luck (Payoneer declined her account and Zen too, Revolut doesnt seem to work in our country).

Thanks!
> Cryptocurrencies still have the unique property of being able to function as permissionless digital cash between parties.

It’s not permissionless or really decentralised.

The interviews are all HR screens (I no longer respond to recruiters) with the goal of getting the technical take home, technical interview or team chat. Its more or less 3-5 hours a week if I advance past the first interview. This week for example I had a follow up and review from a take-home I did last week, which ended in a declined offer; but a good future networking opportunity at that company.

Some technical take homes take me the entire weekend. Where do I get the time? I am just getting better at managing my time and focusing on the projects. After you do quite a few, it just becomes a challenge, and things don't feel as stressful anymore. Admittedly, I do spend too much time on software next to working in software; its not your usual situation.
22 years ago, info-tech was an industry for which its bubble can pop. Now, it is a foundational element of civilization. Much like bronze to the bronze age or iron to the iron age. The tech bubble popping means civilization popping. The basic rules of supply and demand apply differently to needs like tech as opposed to wants like tech in the dot-com bubble era.

Not that I have high hopes for civilization but we are talking about different variables altogether. From the whitehouse relying on it to communicate with masses to the beggar in China that is forced to use an app for begging, tech is civilization as we know it now.
The totality of my life experience has shown me it's precisely the other way around - it's the reckless people who punish and impede us all for their sake. Just like there are no all-knowing bureaucrats who can detect Ponzi schemes, there are none who can detect systemic risks either.

Keep in mind that every "Dopamine does ____" is an extreme simplification. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is used by a number of different neurons throughout the brain, as well as in different roles in the body outside of the brain.

This article, like every study of dopaminergic neurons, is about specific neurons that happen to use dopamine for some of their signaling. It's incorrect to extrapolate this to generalizations about what dopamine does or does not do, because it depends on the specific neurons.

Thing is, it can't be it's only function - because in order for something to be able to actually function as permission digital cash it needs to have at least some value to someone who is a net recipient of that cash (i.e. they manage to receive more of it than they intend to send today). That value proposition can be stupid, but it has to be there, people have to agree in a social consensus that it has some value.

You can have something whose primary function is cash between parties and a secondary, minority function is being melted down for jewelry - since that provides a backstop ensuring that it stays viable cash, that there is some value for it.

You can have something whose primary function is cash between parties and a secondary, minority function is used to pay taxes or tarriffs to some party (starting with quite ancient times) - since that provides a backstop ensuring that it stays viable cash as long as that tax collector stays relevant.

That minority use can be relatively small and rare, however, if it does not exist at all, then it's a poor medium for cash.

You can have something whose primary function is permissionless digital cash between parties and a secondary, minority function is a speculative investment bubble - which ensures that it stays viable cash as long as that bubble does not pop. But not really after that.
But that article is exactly what we want on the internet. It's the kind of interactive teaching demonstrations that forward looking educators have been thinking about for decades. It's not bloated or overdone; it doesn't take up significantly more processing power; it works far better than a traditional article ever could. This is what we desire the internet to be like.

It's because of articles like this one, or 3Blue1Brown videos, that I feel like the idea of "the document web" is really a step backwards: the internet is not just a glorified transmission method for paper anymore. We have computers, which are able to do so much more than paper ever could. To not exploit them for their capabilities, simply due to fear of exploitation, is far worse. How much worse do you think https://thebookofshaders.com/ would be to learn from if it couldn't include live editable demnostrations? To divide up the web into "interactive" and "non-interactive" content is to remove the ability for creators such as the author of the Mechanical Watch article to add progressive interactivity to their documents, remove the ability for learning resources to fully utilize the power of computers, to remove the ability for small fun things to be added to sites such as a Konami Code easter egg or https://bruno-simon.com/'s interactive website. And before you reply with something like "these would all go on the interactive web", my point is that dividing the web like this would not only be pointless but would also be ultimately harmful to the creation of things such as these.
I mean I can only speak purely anecdotally, but I graduated with a CS degree nearly 20 years ago and in my ensuing career, 90% of my colleagues had either electrical engineering or computer science backgrounds, so I honestly have no idea what he's referring to.

I said abiogenesis was the only field where aliens were taken seriously, in a not so serious manor. Your Miller experiment is also widely cited as proof that abiogenesis is extremely complex and would take an order of magnitude longer (under perfect conditions) to achieve RNA than we have any reason to believe actually occurred. You are strawmanning by pretending anyone else is suggesting something other than science. You are also simultaneously completely wrong about how confident we are life evolved entirely on Earth.

Going from millers early experiments to the LUCA is a larger gap in complexity than going from LUCA to modern man. It is that level of jump we believe to have occurred in just 1-200 million years. We do not currently have a proper explanation for this but there several candidates.

So yes, aliens as in proteins coming from comets, are very much a consideration and you should familiarize with the last few decades of research into the field before trying to be condescending.

Right, but the "proliferation instinct" is not a viewpoint but something built into the genes of biological entities. Such an instinct could develop for "artificial animals" over time. At that point they really would be no different from biological things conceptually.

I'm saying that AIs we envision building for the foreseeable future are built in laboratory not in the evolution of real world out there where they would need to compete with other species for survival. Things that only exist virtually don't need to compete for survival with real world entities.
It's called "land" because it is one of the three original factors of production in classical economics - labor, capital and land.

Labor is energy, Capital is accumulation of energy. Land is any natural opportunity.

Domains, patents or spectrums are portions of namespace, string space, idea space, frequency band - some kind of space, in other words land.

> Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.

Many Georgism advocates seem to have this idea that Georgism is this magic formula that is going to fix everything, and the only alternative is catastrophe. Even by those standards, though, this statement seems rather extreme. Can you defend it, rather than simply assert it?

I don't want to defend anything. It's up to people to decide if they want to burn everything to the ground after exhausting all the economic policities with nothing much to show for it. Real estate keeps getting bigger problem than ever, birth rates plummeting. Continuing the trend will result in a collapse by one of 1. depopulation 2. war 3. revolution or similar event. Since real estate is such a big part of it, georgism - the antidote for misbehaving real estate - seems like the next tool to reach for.

Anyways - everybody who spends a bit of time trying to understand it realizes that it is logically the obvious solution, but is politically infeasible.
Even if petrodollars ends, USD will still be one of the three or four most valuable currencies, alongside the Euro, Yen and maybe Pound, for the foreseeable future. China isn't trusted enough yet, and their impending invasion of Taiwan will make them even less so. The most stable and trusted remaining currencies are those four.
When you remove the immediate context of the sentence and squint real hard you can almost read a "well regulated militia" to mean a completely unregulated individual.

> pip's strategy for solving dependencies is just a tactic: it starts installing one package at a time, installs the dependencies of that package, etc. It can get into a situation where another package has dependencies that conflict with what has already been installed and pip gets stuck.

I faced that issue this week. I was transferring my blog from my old computer to my new laptop. It uses Pelican and virtualenv. The 'main packages' are in a requirements.txt file (pelican, markdown, jinja2, etc). There are only a few packages in the requirements.txt. Then, I tried to run the blog on the new laptop and, surprise surprise, it did not work. One of the packages depends on another one that introduced a conflict. The solution was to run `pip3 freeze > requirements.txt` on my old laptop to get the exact version of all packages. After that, I can run the blog on my new machine. It seems obvious but I used to include only a few packages in the requirements.txt, not all of them. Maybe this approach is boring enough.
