I think it would be super helpful if some of ya'll were to watch the USDT:BTC (edit: really any USDT currency pair) order books on the exchanges on different intervals and watch the market making bots in action - this is what I think. See the spreads, see the intervals they make their trades on - study it.
It's not that different; it represents an enumeration of what I think are/propose to be the proper restrictions on voting.

Some people believe that non-citizen permanent residents should be able to vote in federal elections. Others believe that undocumented permanent residents should be able to vote in state/local elections. Others believe that incarcerated felons should be able to vote. Likely others believe that minors should be able to vote. We should have these discussions, agree on what restrictions we want to impose, and implement them.

If you decide to prevent anyone from voting, that's definitionally a restriction on voting.
Brave is 100x worse than DDG, they're just cryptocurrency grifters. Their search service isn't OSS either.
It’s hard to say if your experience is isolated to a single job. No?
Huh, the IPA indeed seems to be the same, but I would argue that the “z” in “raze” is distinctly more voiced than the “s” in “rays”.
Yeah, the independant states is a feature, not a bug.

And afaik, each state can choose how to implement voting for itself. So, they could move to a proportional system for EC votes. (Altough, I personally think that making it based on US wide popular/proportional vote, rather than state wide would be a mistake)
Because hydrogen is a real pain in the ass to store/transport since it needs to be kept under extremely high pressure or very low temperature.

That said, you can take hydrogen and some carbon and make hydrocarbon / long-chain hydrocarbon molecules (e.g. gasoline, diesel, methane, etc.), which we already have infrastructure in place to move, store, and use.

I'm not sure why nobody takes synthetic generation of hydrocarbons seriously. It's carbon-neutral, and seems like it would be a pretty good stop-gap until we figure out better storage of electric charge.
Writing Python Modules in Zig
There's lots of research saying most citizens have no idea how their representatives vote, even when it's open, and the people who do track it are the lobbyists, consider Myth 5 from CRI's 7 myths of transparency [0].

If the committee votes were secret, aka more of the process were secret but not the final floor votes, then we could still see how they voted in the end.

Also, if I'm not able to see how they vote individually, I'd probably be more likely to vote for people based on their team performance and not their individual performance and I think this is the biggest point for me. I don't care how Senator X votes, I care if Senator X convinces the team of Senators to pass a legislation. One Senator who says "but I voted the way you wanted me to vote" accomplishes much less for me than one Senator who is able to convince and negotiate with the other 99 to pass a bill that I wanted. So I'd look at whether things were happening that I wanted overall and if they weren't, I'd get rid of the person for not having the ability to move the team to better represent what I want.

You should also be opposed to the electoral college then.

The electoral college vote count is still based on population counts.

The electoral college accomplishes none of the goals of republic style voting you’d like, nor the direct popular vote that others want
I own an electric car, and I know many, many others that own them as well. Everything you've written is ludicrous - I can assure you nobody is waiting days or weeks to charge. If anything the situation is much better than gas cars as 99% of the time I just charge at home.
Alternatively, one really should stop to think about what they care in life at least once or twice each decade.

Lots of people never do it once in their whole life. There's a world of optimization levels between "randomly doing things" and "min-maxing life". There's a huge-ass chunk of people who never leave the 0-optimization level of randomly doing things.
I think though that the fact is that these biomes are evolving already means that irrespective of this research or its development, natural evolution is already responding.

If we stopped polluting tomorrow, which I wish we could, we would still need to get rid of the pollution already produced. If the natural biome is already responding, then that's a good thing.
The abstract broke my brain. Would appreciate a layman summary!
Operating Systems are not a very well defined subject. Linux doesn't include a UI layer for instance and that isn't considered a problem. Being tied to a particular experience limits the potential applications of the OS, so in many ways I would consider the lack of opinionated experience a good thing.

There is now a UI experience available as part of Fuchsia in the workstation product, but I wouldn't overly index on it as it's just one take on what you could use Fuchsia to build.
I’m not valorising her. Even her green period was short lived and ultimately ended due to her political convictions being stronger than her critical thinking skills. It makes it worse, that she had the knowledge to understand the impacts, but chose politics over doing the right thing.
This guys are clueless; wasting billions investing in Crypto hoping that they will hit killer app but not realising Bitcoin itself is the killer app.

Also they invested over $100M in Clubhouse just because it became popular at the time(Pandemic and lockdowns) not because they think Clubhouse will have any reasonable long term value because it won't.
All fair considerations, but I think the main point is a matter of degree between the two time periods. Surely there were also less visible efficiencies that took place during the first period too, i.e. the electric fridge vs. an ice box, but that's not the point of the comparison, I think.
With ProtonMail, can I change the reply-to address on the fly? With Fast Mail, I can edit the address from the compose screen.
Sounds reasonable.

> The privacy advocates are their own worst enemy

Probably, but Privacy is Proton's motto. I'm just pointing at the controversy.
Not only do the forums have HTTPS disabled, but they expect you to download executables to run on your computer over HTTP. And, the kicker: they already have a legit HTTPS cert for the entire site: visiting on HTTPS redirects you to HTTP _facepalm_.

Never heard of Spine before your comment, but if I found this in the wild I'd assume it was amateur hour and turn back immediately.
> Turning on https mode in my browser brings up, as it should, a large error message saying that the site is insecure. I can't imagine that's a terribly good first impression, even though, again, Spine is one of the best animation packages out there.

A site being on HTTP isn't necessarily insecure. That warning is inaccurate. It's more about creating censors and gatekeepers in the form of certificate authorities.

(Debian packages are still served over HTTP and are secure with no certificate authority. Try to figure that out!)
IMHO, user interfaces generally are better the more buttons and knobs they have (scaled for compactness requirements). Obviously some thought must be put into those buttons and knobs, but I've never personally ran into a UI that had too many.
> A good example is the Reform Party, the most prominent party in the 90's

The Reform Party was an extension of Ross Perot, who bought his way into the 1992 presidential election with his own immense wealth, and actually could have won that election — at one point he was leading the polls! — if he didn't have his own personal meltdown during the campaign. Perot ran again in 1996, with lesser results. When Perot faded from the political scene, so did the Reform Party.

I would also mention that the Minnesota governor's seat won by the Reform Party was by famous professional wrestler Jesse The Mind/Body Ventura, who was already well-known before the Reform Party even existed.

Ventura was elected mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota in 1990, predating the Reform Party, and moreover, Ventura left the Reform Party a year after taking office as governor and joined the Independence Party instead.

> You want to know the most successful third party at the moment in the U.S.? The Vermont Progressive Party.

Vermont is one of the smallest states in the country by both population and physical size. Campaign fundraising is less of a problem there than in most places that require large spending on TV ads. One of the biggest disadvantages of third parties is lack of money. This is how Ross Perot succeeded where they did not: he had a ton of money.
Something really telling for me here is the fact that there are multiple people here (representing multiple companies) who have solved this problem and there doesn't seem to be an open source solution for it, let alone a dominant one.

It's clear that in general, we are all sick of writing a bunch of bespoke code and maintaining multiple platforms, and are seeking smart layers of abstractions over native widgets. It's a tale as old as time.

What's curious is why there isn't a standard/de-facto standard (like JSON based one maybe?) for UI layouts that has emerged, with a React Native adapter for it.

We are trying to solve this problem too with the same approach (the framework isn't the product, it's just because we don't want to spend too much time building custom Mobile components for our product).

It's not like people haven't tried. Just Microsoft has probably a half dozen of these. MAUI, WPF, etc.

Again, just curious that at least one format hasn't emerged for it.
Sensational stuff sells... Better to focus on the twitter conversation linked from the article instead.
ECB: A failure of Tether may pose a threat to the stability of crypto-asset [pdf]
Page 45 of the Financial Stability Review, May 2022:

Market volatility also expanded into crypto-asset markets. Bitcoin lost 50% of its value (versus the US dollar), and
stresses emerged in markets for stablecoins. While a number of stablecoins lost their peg against the US dollar, broader financial stability risks remain limited. At the same time, the implications of stresses on stablecoin Tether could be significant for the crypto-asset ecosystem. A failure of Tether may pose a threat to the stability of crypto-asset markets, as it provides a substantial amount of trading liquidity for buying and selling of other crypto-assets. A run on Tether could disrupt trading and
price discovery in crypto-asset markets, which could turn disorderly. Contagion effects for the broader financial system arising from a potential “crypto crash” still seem limited, although individual investors may suffer significant losses.
Favicons for HN[0] is a userscript that I use to add favicons next to the link. I used the improved one though.[1]

I am using Lipu[2], my in-house alternative HN interface, with the official HN interface for surfing.

I also made an userscript called `Unthirst Numbers` that removes karma points and user's karma to make it less addictive. I have not make this one public though.

> I still don't see engineers being rewarded proportionally for the value they're bringing their employers.

My theory is that's because the relationship between employers and engineers has an off by 1 error.

Non-software folks see 'managers managing software developers creating software' in a similar dynamic as 'managers managing drivers driving trucks'. Whereas I believe it is better to frame the function of software engineers as 'managers managing code handling data'.

From the business perspective, its software engineers should be seen as managers. Its just that what they manage doesn't require HR or sick days. And just like a re-organization of the business, software updates might take more than a sprint or two.
Completely agree. Reminds me of a longer-term https://1940s.nyc/:

Between 1939 and 1941, the Works Progress Administration collaborated with the New York City Tax Department to collect photographs of most buildings in the five boroughs of New York City. In 2018, the NYC Municipal Archives completed the digitization and tagging of these photos. This website places them on a map.
> and I found some boots that made me jump into the air and die

You're probably the first person I've ever seen to have confused the Scroll of Icarian Flight with the Boots of Blinding Speed. ;)
It applies to any bike. Ideally the number of links in the chain would be coprime to the number of teeth on every sprocket. The easiest way to achieve this is to make the number of links in the chain prime.

It'll still work just fine if you ignore this idea, but it might wear out more quickly. If you're a hobbyist just trying to make something work, you can safely ignore it and do whatever is most convenient. If you're a bicycle engineer trying to make things reliable and long-lasting, then there's no downside to making the number of links prime if you can arrange it.

I don't know whether bike companies actually do choose prime-numbered chains, maybe they have other constraints that are more important.
Agree with this. Pain points are cleavage. Let them be felt, then leverage them into making your improvements known.

I so often see junior engineers making work for themselves by "fixing" things that weren't broken. This is often the case when they want to refactor something to make it better. If you can't measure the improvement, it's hard to make the case you actually improved things. Legacy code is like settled law, touched only when absolutely necessary.
Totally.. I don't honestly know one person who's been hit by a bike. Not counting people opening doors without looking.
On the other hand productivity in the developing world has been spiking markedly.
Interesting. Just a couple hours ago, I was reading their post (2016) on how they were sunsetting their canary watch program, saying that it had achieved the goals they had set out on for it (internally, my knee-jerk reaction was "...what?").

Of course, I'm not as incredulous this time around over HTTPS Everywhere.

HN is very susceptible to pseudo-nerd hype (Encrypted apps that are actually honeypots, decentralized networks that really are not etc), since a lot of people are not very deeply technical (but consider themselves geeks) they fall for this type of marketing.
Well, I didn't mean to be critical in general. The article makes the case that it's improving, and will eventually be fixed. I hope that's true, but it's not something we patched and got working. Nature is simply a really tough cookie.
HN downvotes things based on the mood expressed rather than the technical content.

It's becoming a kindergarten, really.
Thanks for posting the original.
One of them did it though.
Sure, they have some things (arguably low-value, but you may disagree) on GitHub, but they do not have the main protonmail service - where I could run my own Protonmail server - on GitHub.
I use Nextdoor/Craigslist and put stuff up for Free or take it to the thrift store nearby.
I have the same situation with my parents. Their home is storehouse of stuff that my mom bought, mostly with the intent of giving them as gifts as special occasions come up, with paths carved through to get from one room to the next. She knows it's a bit much, but won't let anyone throw anything away. Some day going through it all will be a chore, but I don't think I'll find it difficult to sort out the keep/donate/trash piles.

I've been worrying lately about leaving too much stuff for my kids to deal with, but so far it's mostly things that they left in their rooms when they moved out. I'm trying to keep from acquiring more stuff.
Good point. Still a nice upgrade from >70 or >90 systems that aren't helpful unless in specific conditions. Also promising on the materials side -- cheap
I think I have it, though I never really found a need for it since I have DDG set up as search engine on mobile firefox anyway. There is no point to that app...
Indeed! I've got my own projects to be dealing with!

Honestly the way I see it my mum knows me well enough. If I'm instructed to do anything like a tidyup it will be done quickly, efficiently, and without emotion.

Take a picture of your nostalgia items and bin them, the emotion is in the memory anyway. You'll look at it just as infrequently but at least it's only taking up bytes now.

Extract the useful-to-you stuff and get someone to cart everything else away with a "you get everything for £500 if you take it ALL away" deal.

If she doesn't want this I imagine my sister will be in charge, haha.
Writing a conforming C preprocessor is in fact quite hard. The spec is very hairy.
The 2 parties have also legislated to ensure only they can make it to the stage.

For a 3rd party to participate they must be polling over 15%. Dems and GOP allowed on stage often only poll at 4%.

https://www.debates.org/about-cpd/overview/

15% polling with the political machine of our News apparatus and the 2 parties is almost impossible unless it's a celebrity running.
It’s a legit question, wouldn’t Mac version be easier to run on Linux than the windows version?
To me, this is clearly a hit piece. The headlines insinuate that this applies to all of DDG.

This only affects the DDG mobile app. Just for starters, and not to be snarky, but doesn't the very use of a mobile telephone contradict concerns about privacy?

The whole thing has a slashdotty kind of odor to it.
Really? Because as far as I know the N-Gage emulator is far behind.
I'm assuming it's using the API to download captions and scanning them, which is why it'd need the Channel. It would be so hard to know where to begin without it!

It's not that somebody is holding your ISP, it's that your ISP doesn't see IPv6 as something that they should bother doing (very low demand from customers).

And if that ISP happens to be one of those that decided that their core competency is marketing, and outsourced everything else, including network engineering... Well, than they view IPv6 as something expensive/risky (in project costs) in addition to useless.
I haven't heard that name in a very long time.

Tell me, what town did you mainly reside in? I was over in Chiapas with the crazy leftists, one of whom erected a wool statue of himself. We were largely untouched by the HCF invasion, except for when their skirmishes with the World Police got close to our borders.

This is all true, but I don’t see why that means she couldn’t get her head around the chemistry of how CFCs destroy ozone, or the mechanisms behind climate change, or indeed that she lacked the skills to understand the data and models she was being presented with.
No, they'd have to index all youtube videos then.
My understanding is that they make money by providing ads based on your current search, a bit like a good old gardening magazine would make money by printing ads related to gardening. That is very unlike Google and Facebook etc.

> Was her knowledge and familiarity with the subject better than Reagans?

Based on my memory of Regan and a quick review of his educational achievements, I'd say you're probably right.

> Maybe that's why he believed her.

World leaders don't usually take scientific advice from people with just a bachelor's degree. Especially when said world leader is the head of a government that has multiple world-class national laboratories, a space agency, and employs tens of thousands of highly qualified scientists. If Thatcher influenced Regan's thinking on the ozone hole then I suspect it's because he recognised her as a fellow social conservative, not because of anything she might have been able to say about the catalysis of O3 to O2.

> She knew some of the societal costs (being a world leader) and some of the science too.

As a prime minister who famously stated in public that "there is no such thing as society", and who presided over the miner's strikes, I find it hard to believe that she knew much about "societal costs".

> Ad Hominem? Makes me a lot irritated, folks claiming that no degree of education is quite enough to understand whatever science they disagree with.

That's not what ad hominem means. I wasn't taking issue with her character (I never knew her), I was taking issue with her (as a public figure with political policies) being factually described as a "scientist" who did "research".
Debian packages are verified via a separate mechanism after download. The only verification method included in your web browser is HTTPS.

Efficiency seem to be Wh/km. During the summer, with mixed driving I get about 168 Wh/km, and year round 185 Wh/km in a Tesla Model 3 AWD. Not everyone needs to drive autobahn speed. ;)
Yeah, my dad is into stamps... These days he only collects items that are no longer produced (i.e. from Newfoundland), and keeps them highly organized.

No idea if they're actually worth anything, but it gives him pleasure.
A good multiplayer, browser-based RTS in the style of Age of Empires (yes, I'm old).
The argument is that if lobbyists can't know for certain how the person would vote, why give them money? If I want to give you $1M and yet I can't be sure you will vote the way I want you to, do I really want to take that gamble?
Debian ships with its own signing keys to authenticate the packages that it downloads. They are acting as their own CA.

This isn't scalable to the web.
Civilization, but the online multiplayer isn't garbage and the game is competitively balanced.

Why? If anything, the client does the more reasonable interpretation of the XML-in-malformed-UTF-8 - skipping to the next valid UTF-8 sequence start. It's the server that has really weird behavior for their UTF-8 handling where it somehow special cases multi-byte UTF-8 sequences but then does not handle invalid ones.
This one definitely had two sides: Volkswagen CEO claiming to overtake Tesla in 3 years.

My point about (anti) cults was how it seems to affect the discussion. A fact based debate would be preferable to emotional quarrel.
I have a love/hate relationship with his writing – he adores going off on tangents, and action often gets put on pause while he savors them (REAMDE has several long paragraphs of a character pulling themselves onto a boat, admiring the hull, praising the usefulness of the tires lashed to it, etc).

But it also introduces me to so many lovely things in the process. That moment in Cryptonomicon was quite cool.
