To answer my immediate question "why does this look almost exactly like org-web?":

> We forked the project, because we have different visions on how to go forward. He envisions a mobile only solution, we think it’s great to have organice be available to any browser to enable anyone on the go or any non-Emacs user easy access to Org files. Also, DanielDe thinks of org-web as his pet project whereas organice has the full power of 200ok llc behind it whilst building a strong self-sufficient community around it.

Took too long to find, IMO. Especially for something with a code base apparently so close I'd have deemed it more fitting to mention "fork of" within the first page or just mark it through the Github "forked from" feature. But instead the name org-web isn't even prominently featured anywhere. I think that's just not great style.

Opinion: Another great video from 3Blue1Brown!

Worth watching and re-watching in the future, especially from the following part: https://youtu.be/bOXCLR3Wric?t=978 for the relationship between specific types of polynomials, complex numbers, roots of unity, Fourier Transforms, and the Riemann Zeta Function, etc., etc.

Anyway, it's a great video!

I think the space sunshade is the optimal case for manufacturing with space materials.

An asteroid like 24 Themis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Themis

is rich in volatiles (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen) and also in stony minerals. You'd need to send a factory that builds a larger factory, it is a lot like building a ship inside a bottle except it's the other way around, you're in the bottle and have to build the ship outside.

What's funny about it is that you have to use the kind of chemistry that people use to capture carbon, make e-fuels, etc. on Earth. An asteroid like that has materials on it that are a lot like coal and you will have something that looks like a petrochemical plant that runs combustion processes but the carbon is too precious to vent into space so you will circularize as much as you can.

There is also a large sail yard that makes something like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKAROS

basically large plastic films coated with layers of aluminum.

it doesn't have to be high performance compared to other solar sails, in fact a heavier and less reflective sail will sit closer to Earth near the L1 point and be more effective at blocking sunlight.

Some real headscratchers for me are: (1) Do you send people? If you don't you need to run the whole thing remotely and face a half hour latency when you're debugging problems. If you do then you have to build a habitat for the crew. (2) I think a good asteroid for this might be pretty gassy and if you start digging into it the gas will escape which is not only a precious resource but could be dangerous. You're going to have to do devolatilization at the very beginning when your stock of materials, storage tanks, and such are at the very lowest they'll ever be.

The big advantage of this is that it won't have effects on Earth other than reducing sunlight.

If I were going to write a science fiction story about this it might be a bit like Gundam in that the "Zeons" decide that sinful Earthers deserve to have their civilization fall and they send too many sunshades to L1 to drop sunlight and temperatures enough to crash agriculture. Maybe 1000 years later their descendants arrive on Earth...

(One thing about Gundam is the giant robots are more plausible than the O'Neill colonies with large airspaces... I sketched out a minimum size Bernal sphere to be a really flashy destination in LEO and it needs 15 Starship loads of ammonia to make the atmosphere. It drives me nuts that some article gets published about making oxygen on the moon for people to breathe, which isn't really useful unless you can get 4 parts of nitrogen, helium or SF6 to go with it... If you try breathing pure O2 that's a sure way to "burn out" as opposed to "fade away" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1)

It is not settled that add-ons have to be GPL. The add-ons are python programs that do not contain or link against Blender code. Instead, they are called by Blender itself (and can call Blender python APIs). It's not much different from a Linux userspace program, for example.

There are reasonable arguments either way. For example, is an add-on for an electronics device that directly interfaces with the motherboard considered a derivative work? How about an accessory for some kind of tool? Like a plug in, they are useless without the original device, but does that make them derivative works that need permission to be distributed? We'd argue not for copyright of the designs of physical goods, so why would it be different for software?

There are clearly arguments either way and this isn't a settled matter.

Assuming that organizations did want to do this, I would argue that a public blockchain is the most technically suitable solution. I can write up and deploy a new token contract in a few hours and it will be instantly tradable with thousands of other assets on-chain. Compare that to building and hosting your own systems, integrating with dozens of payment methods, and somehow linking up with the interfaces of every other rewards program out there.

> Well yeah that's true, but is ping really important when you live in the far north...is it so important that a whole part of a country is highly dependent on a private US company?

In a word, yes. High ping isn't bad for just gaming, so much of the internet is written by people who assume that roundtrips are cheap that ~600ms internet connections are just painful for everyday use. If you feel that relying on Starlink gives SpaceX too much power, you need to start thinking about other LEO constellations, not substituting with GEOsats. Because they are simply inadequate.

> North Canada is not accessible...and probably never will (not enough customers)

Literally everywhere in the world will be accessible once they get enough intersat links and the polar sats up. Right now, they are limited by both the bent-pipe architecture they use for the first shell of sats (because intersat links were not ready), and because they launched the 53° shells first (because they get the most customers with the fewest sats operational the fastest).

And they need to do this even if they'd have only a single customer, because their FCC frequency allocation requires them to provide service in all 50 states, including the very northernmost parts of Alaska. They plan to achieve this with a 97.6° shell of 10 planes, which will provide service all the way to the pole.
It's really screwed up, most of the people I know who go fucked over were LGS owners and employees, like they weren't already having a hard enough time staying in business. You know, the kind of people who can actually help create a community of safe, responsible firearms use with their trainings outreach efforts etc.
The poor methodology and statements such as:

> Take cognitive score (i.e. measured IQ). Americans love to believe that intelligence is rewarded, meaning they live in a meritocracy. Unfortunately, the evidence squashes this myth.

> Neoclassical economists will have none of this. The idea that hierarchical rank most strongly affects income, I’ve been told, is ‘foolish and absurd’. Why? Because it explicitly contradicts neoclassical scripture.

> I you’re a Marxist, this result should give you pause.

show that this is a political piece thinly veiled as science.
I don't anticipate replacing my keyboard and mouse with a touchscreen for doing software development work.

If it was measurable, I would guess that productivity plummeted for most companies that replaced the traditional computer/mouse/keyboard with a tablet. I remember going to an AT&T store years ago and watching the customer care rep struggle to get my information into their system with an iPad. A five minute data-entry task on a computer took this person almost 20 minutes on their tablet.
Do not underestimate private clinics in Europe. They saved my life after multiple rounds of doctors in the Washington D.C. area could not prevent me from getting repeated ear infections which led to eventual moderate hearing loss. The clinicians in a central European country took a fundamentally different approach to diagnosing me and resolved my health issue rapidly. I spent years of my life going to a dozen doctors in the Washington D.C. area without resolution prior to this. Give medical tourism a shot, it is legit.

The license says "you may not distribute the shader even if you modify it", so I don't know if you could. Obviously you'd convert the shader to HLSL and simplify it for realtime, but the vague language doesn't make it clear to me if a reimplementation of the shader counts as your own thing, or as a derivative for the purposes of "you may not distribute". Though I highly suspect the author would give you a go-ahead if you just email him directly.

A bigger concern I have for animated content is that dithering usually looks horrible in motion. It might be perfect for a Myst-style game, though - something with very minimal movement.

I want to build a table, so I chomp a tree. You want to build a chair, and you chomp another tree. I want to build another table, so I must walk a longer distance to find a tree. If everyone cut trees, it will get harder to find one.

Another person want to build a music instrument. He need some special kind of tree, with some specific size and age, so he want all of us to not cut that tree. Does he make a fence to protect the tree while it's growing? Does he hire a bodyguard for the tree?

This is an excellent recommendation since there are a few threads that specifically discuss this. I suspect your conclusion might end up being travel to the Mayo Clinic for a few weeks for diagnostic testing.

Some employers have their own health concierge in their benefits package that often goes mostly unused. I've heard positive feedback about the Stanford Health Navigation Service.
My calculation was wrong because it's spread out over 10 years. So it's really only about $0.50 extra per week. Plus, they are making 2x minimum wage. I'm not claiming that is either adequate or not, but they shouldn't be characterized as all "minimum wage workers." (locality dependent, for sure).

You can also eliminate your PMI if you can appraise your home at a price that escapes the difference, so keep an eye on that.
Again, this is mostly an American problem. In other countries you know your neighbours and local community and wouldn't have a problem feeding hungry kids.
You should also check out the Netherlands. It's a private system but if I'm not mistaken prices are largely set by the government. Not sure if that applies only to residents though.
Also try being less polite and demanding better service.

> I have no idea why people think irreversible transactions are a desirable feature.

Reversible transactions come at a cost. There are times when the cost of the insurance from the transactions being reversible is higher than the cost of the transaction itself. For those times, it would be very desirable to have a way for irreversible transactions.

>Fewer young adults ("Gen Z") are choosing, proportionally, to go to college.

It's important to recognize why this is happening. The world did a good job at disenfranchising young adults (gen Z + tail-end millennial), and now countries are reaping the rewards from it. The solution is in front of their noses and they are not willing to take it. I'd turn it around and say all those countries are reaping what they sowed.

Give these people a relatively stress-free way to live life the way it benefits society, while having it benefit themselves, and these problems would stop very soon. Them importing skilled workers and refusing students without money alludes to this. If you're that desperate for workers, you don't lock down any and all ways for people without the skills to start picking them up and getting rewarded for it.

I just don't buy the idea of leaders failing the very basics of leadership, 'give people an incentive to do the things you want them to do'. Call it a conspiracy if you want, but it sounds like leaders want to have their cake and eat it too.
Since many folks have mentioned medical tourism, I'll mention three other options.
1) Forward Medical - I have had nothing but good experiences with them but they are not going to solve, just help diagnose & are a replacement to primary care.
2) Working from your symptoms to try to find a community online that has built up around this. There are several, I know that I listened to a notable podcast recently about the person figuring out their diagnosis related to lyme disease when doctors couldn't figure it out. Once you figure out a pathway, then you find a specialist and test yourself. Doctors are not great at looking outside the box for stuff, so if you have something uncommon it's going to be hard.
3) Related to 2, once you have an idea, connect with some top doctors, especially researchers at top tier institutions (think Stanford, Zuckerberg hospital, Mayo, top clinics (one in Berlin I can't remember), etc. Maybe ask a friendly doc to also post on Sermo for you (a medical focused social network) to get a broader audience. I just read the new Michael Lewis book about the pandemic and there's this guy Joe DeRisi at UCSF whose lab I guess basically looks at absolutely crazy things and fields requests all the time, might be worth calling although it's a long shot.

What do you expect when the world is run by criminals? Seriously!?!

Look at the people who make laws, they dont have the intelligence or morality to even teach a TL;DR to everyone at school. Talk about set up to fail!

And when they upgrade the laws they dont even inform each and every member of the public, let alone let the public debate whether its a good law or not.

Democracy is the ultimate criminal act because people are tricked into having laws forced upon them by a small minority of criminals who decide what is best for you. Democracy is parenting of adults.

And yet the stupid keep holding up the law as an example of righteousness without knowing ALL the laws. What is the definition of stupid? A law abiding citizen.
That's right. There is no sophisticated feed algorithm (yet :-). It literally just pulls the most recent comments on the platform -
this is a feature, not a bug, of globalization. Work that can be done in cheaper countries is allocated there.

On a related note (and I get negative feedback whenever i say this, but) this is the future of all software developers as i see it. If you can do your entire job remotely, then "remote" is going to get optimized over time.

It does not make sense to spend your time in USA (for example) coding when you can stop at developing the specs and send it overseas to be coded for half the cost or less. Architects dont lay bricks, and brick layers dont need to understand architecture. Accumulating knowledge of many different types of syntax for expressing the same principles is something that is only going to depreciate in value over time.
I’ve been trying to switch to vaping recently as a lot of people I know said it helped them and god it so hard to get used to.

everything from the draw, to the sharpness is very different and the person who sold it to me was trying to sell it on “cloud size”. And charging/refilling are even more obnoxious than running out of cigarettes. I will say it’s helped me cut back on cigarettes at least, though I’m probably hooked on nicotine more than ever.
I'm guessing your mortgage doesn't remove PMI after a certain number of years or 80% LTV?
I greatly enjoy my ability to indulge the occasional cigarette. It's truly an experience, and nothing feels quite as cool as leaning against the wall outside a venue and lighting up under the mercury lights.

It's amazing how romantic (not just romanticized) smoking is.
Thanks! I liked pre-enterprise Dropbox too.
Of course it can, just like a Turing machine can simulate itself.
It’s quite the opposite from my experience.

Rider got a lot better over the years and I would pick it over Visual Studio anytime.
Inflation also ignores asset bubbles entirely by focusing on them as a separate class as not as too few houses or too few financial instruments being chased after by way too much money in the hands of the upper 90%/99%.

And this article barely mentions wages, unionization and wage-price spirals.
It's not wild to think I shouldn't be forced to work for free 3-4 months out of the year, especially when nearly all of the money is being transferred to the 1%. If it were actually contributing to something I may have a different opinion, but that is not the case.

This is what I came here to say - the answer is "Concierge Medicine"

In my experience, that's generally a primary care doctor that has on the order of 1/4th or fewer as many patients, but they all pay a membership fee in order to make that sustainable. That means they can spend significantly more time - like hours every week - with you.

That doctor is then well connected in the community, and can call up a friend at the local specialist/hospital/etc and cut the line for some treatments, as well get recommendations for the "best" folks in whatever speciality is needed. They'll be persistent on your behalf, and listen to you instead of dismissing.

It's unfortunate that this is necessary, but it can be had for a few hundred dollars a month, which is a pittance if you're a high earner.
Cancer is a minority of cigarette smokers death. Heart disease and stroke happen way way earlier, and more universally, and more often.
Welcome to HN, where suburban America is the only developed country.
"Excellent free" might still get OP to the same delay loop he tried to escape. His US doctor might work "for the insurer" but the doctor in the free health care system might equally feel they are working "for the state". In my experience the state provided health care is mostly excellent for minors except for psychiatry which is underresourced, but for adults its roll of the dice (outcomes ranging again from excellent to abysmal) with long queues for specialists (Finland).
It's effectively process technology improvements that allow gallium nitride devices to become less defect prone.

It's been known for some time that GaN has a superior electron mobility number (which, effectively means you can get a better/smaller/lower impedance/faster switching device depending on which tradeoff you want). Problem is, getting reasonably good process control has been challenging. It appears some folks in the industry have been overcoming that challenge, therefore we're seeing the results of that.

I take it you’ve never been involved in a breach investigation. Figuring out what an attacker had access to and whether they exploited that access isn’t trivial, especially for a heavily used service like npm. To say they were “sitting on” information while probably tens if not hundreds of engineers assisted in making sure the investigation was complete and accurate is uncharitable.
I find the concept of "10x" super interesting. I'm an accountant, not a dev, but had never jeard of it before.

Surely, any knowledge profession could have 10x types. I suppose my main question is would a 10x type, get 10x compensation? I see a lot of comments re 10x where that person works late, etc, then suffers burnout or is insufferable. Seems like a pretty high personal cost...
I thought at some point I read that FHA loans don't have that? I'll look more into again in a few years when my house will appraise high enough.

Not really. The reason Germany rests on legacy industries and failed to innovate in the software/internet age, has nothing to do with unions, but is mostly liked to conservative mentality.
