Great idea. If anyone here wants a microgrant and has POSIX distro skills, I can offer $100 to you or your favorite charity for help getting the `num` command added to the POSIX standard track so it becomes freely available for everyone.

Num is free open source software that uses `awk` to calculate many typical statistics on the command line.

We can but consider the super low attention span visitor who bounces because it is too hard to find the obvious thing you would expect/ask when a company is offering an AI video service.
Across the whole continent, nuclear has been in decline for decades. So has coal. Renewables on the other hand have grown massively.

French electricity pricing does not include the money that French tax payers pay to keep on building new nuclear plants. Or the money they are going to pay for getting rid of them. Or the money they will be paying for security, waste disposal, etc. Nuclear is pretty cheap when you just resell what tax payers give you and defer any cost back at the tax payer. That's the problem with nuclear: it can't really be done without tax payer money.

I think this is likely a bit backwards. If the white collar salaries go up too much relative to blue collar salaries (or more generally if salaries become excessively widely distributed), then employing low wage workers becomes _cheap_, at least in a relative sense. This is fine for the companies that want to employ them, but it means that those employees’ incomes may increase much slower than the prices of anything they want to buy, and they get locked out of the market for consumer goods.

This exists, it's called RSS and it is very likely almost all of the sites you regularly visit support it at least partially.
Do you have an example when justice is sensitive to side effects?
No, there are no blackouts because there is not shortage and plenty of capacity.

Consumer prices for energy are less subsidized and taxed more in the EU. So, people tend to care about not wasting it a bit more than in the US.

The US is really good at making cost somebody else's problem. That's why it has blackouts. Because ultimately it is a problem that needs solving. And that takes money.
Did you actually read the article you posted in the other comment?

> With a more cooperatively designed system, this could be reduced to just 20 GW across the continent.

So, no, you cannot sustain baseload power with wind, even with cooperation, you still need powerplants (carbon? coal. green? nuclear)
Honestly I see exactly NO purpose for such dedicated distro: I use H.A. on my homeserver, deployed via pip, simple, lightweight and effective without the burden of a dedicated distro with the need for security upgrades and enormous integration effort for what? On my homeserver I do many things, there is no point in having many different homeserver or container to run single service if I can consolidate ALL in a single hw, easy to recreate/extend as I with thanks to NixOS/Guix or anything else + some IaC behind.

Such moves have only commercial reasons and normally in practice are commercial fails due to the inevitably low quality of the output. I still have to see ANY dedicated distro with a commercial success behind and without a large number of angry users.
I recommend LowEndTalk & LowEndBox to find cheaper providers if one wants to have some VPS to play around.
how does that screw over poor people?
I'm confused by this reaction along with all of the comments on this thread. Half are saying that Wood's strategy is no better than a martingale strategy (bet twice what you lose) while the other half are expecting positive contiguous yearly returns.

Is Wood engaging in a martingale strategy? If so, can someone point me to resources that show it?

Should Wood be getting positive returns every year, even when the market is in a down turn? My understanding is that the common sentiment is that one can essentially do no better than the market average, which is what an index fund is essentially trying to do. Are these funds profitable even during a market downturn? Why are index funds expected to lose money but Wood's fund not?

I appreciate that a one year 50% loss can wipe out four years of 20% returns but a market down turn affects everyone, not just Wood's fund. Is the market downturn affecting Wood's fund more than a vanilla index fund even after taking into account the explosive growth before the crash?

For some clarity, Wood's fund has more than doubled it's stock value from 2017 [0], which puts it at an average 14% yearly return.

My understanding of index funds is that the expected return is somewhere between 8%-10% APR. My take on Wood's fund is that it's trying to be more judicious about which to use for it's index fund so has the potential for more upside because of undervalued tech stocks. Even under this conservative APR (as of this writing), Wood's fund still beats out a vanilla index fund.

If I were an investor in Wood's fund with a time horizon of 5 years, I would be happy with the performance, regardless of a the last years crash.

I'm pretty skeptical of high returns from Wood's fund but, at the same time, the strategy seems pretty straight forward: invest in emerging technology that has the potential for high return and, essentially, make an index fund out of it. Isn't this what YC does, except by taking ownership stake in companies rather than investing in the stock market?

I don't think this will be that useful, but for what it's worth, I had the exact same issue. My kid's account is marked as a child account, and linked to my adult account (which was a nightmare in itself, but that's another story).

I don't know what I did, but I did eventually manage to get it unlocked. I basically went through every possible permutation of links, which is why I don't remember what worked. It was something to do with unlocking it from the parent account, after _re-linking_ it to my account.

Sorry I can't help more than that, but at least you know it's possible now ... somehow ;)

P.S. The "security" of allowing a child to link their account to anyone who asks them to enter their email address is hilariously terrifying.
strongly disagree with this. flask is what you make of it. you create your design patterns. for example, here's an MVC boilerplate i use for all my flask apps: https://github.com/esteininger/flask-mvc-boilerplate
I find it useful thinking in ecosystem terms as a model. And ultimately, the economy is situated in a real ecosystem and not an abstract manifestation.

>> The economy is not like an ecosystem since there is no reciprocation
If mutual beneficial trade is not reciprocation, then I don't know what is. Reciprocity is more a societal thing than an economic one. I would say historically there have always been reciprocal societies. Smaller ones tend to be more reciprocal than larger ones since their survival depends on it.

>> Money flows in one direction only, toward the top
This is by design i.e intervention. It need not be so.
And there is nothing preventing a species from colonizing an habitat till it exhausts the resources and it's own ultimate demise.

Monopolies, by and large are formed (and broken) by government aid/intervention.
Post the industrial revolution, the government has become involved in more and more areas of the economy, so much so that now it has become the chief driver, to stimulate growth, reduce inflation, boost employment/industries. Given the complexity of interactions in the real world, I don't understand how someone can believe they can understand everything and control it.

Regarding your other comment, I agree, the notion of exponential growth is ridiculous and runs into real world limits.
Bad audio design. Beeps should be reserved for errors.
Success should be indicated by a happy chime.

But most of all, it is being cheap and using a piezeoelectric buzzer driven on/off instead of a speaker driven by a small routine that would produce a pleasant sound.

Well, after upgrading to Fedora 35, my UI no longer works :) No, it's not KDE-specific. The failure of integration is distribution-specific.
Agreed, but I prefer to think of immutable data as a message because, in line with Alan Kay's thinking, data is always going to be interpreted by something (even if that something is a person).
For me the biggest advantage is that it doesn’t make my mouse have to live so far off to the right like a keyboard with a numpad would.
Most people know that, but a subset of us doesn't think it's an achievable goal and that trying to achieve it would be harmful.

It's worth talking about in so far as trust is important for some concept to work. Like.. how you will help your friend move apartments because you know he will help you in a year or so. Or whether a successful (thus far) crypto coin could go to zero.

But the whole point of a corporation is it is a legal entity, you don't need to trust anything for it to work other than other than.. idk the fabric of our society.

"Relevanto was created to provide access to quality resources." Yep, cool...
Hi, CEO & Founder of DuckDuckGo here. I see a lot of confusion here too, we are not ranking based on my politics (or anyone's politics for that matter).

We actually do not intentionally censor any news results, meaning media outlets are not being removed or their stories displayed so far down in the results they are effectively removed. That is, unless legally prohibited, you should find all media outlets in our results, and they should generally show on top if you search for them by name or domain name. If you are seeing otherwise, please let me know and we will investigate.

A search engine's primary job is to rank results, trying to put results that most quickly and accurately answer the query on top. We do this ranking in a strictly non-partisan manner. Ranking for news-related searches is particularly difficult because for most news stories there are often hundreds of media outlets covering the same story, many with similar relevancy in terms of keyword matching and popularity. As such, we look to another ranking factor to ensure just the top of the results aren't taken by obviously very low-quality news results so that users have more sources of relevant, high-quality news results to compare and choose between.

The non-partisan factor we've found to help accomplish this is a rare, but well-documented history of a site's complete lack of news reporting standards, such as routinely using spam or clickbait to artificially inflate traffic, consistently publishing stories without citing sources, censoring stories due to operating with very limited press freedom, or misleading readers about who owns, funds, and authors stories for the site. And since we do not censor sites, even state-sponsored media in countries with very limited press freedom, these sites will still show up in results, and even on top like when you search for them directly.
The SP404MKII still only have a single way to record MIDI events: live recording, the MPC always had at the very least an event list mode.

The SP404MKII does allow to take a sample and spread different pitches on the pads, but you still cannot sequence pitch variations live to this day.

The MPC Live/One has the exact same workflow as the older MPC. tracks, sequences, song mode, 16 level velocity/pitch, drum programs they were all there since the beginning. You don't have to use anything else. It's only when one uses the extra features that the workflow deviate from the original MPC. OS 2.11 which releases on June 23 2020 brings even more workflow improvements for the MPC Line.
The Uk as a whole is oscillating wildly from one extreme to the other politically. Immigration policy doubly so...

It's basically people thinking that Russian disinformation is a political belief.

People are angry that a search engine (something dedicated to giving you relevant and true information based on what you searched for) is less likely to give you Russian state propaganda because the right wing have associated their political beliefs with that of pure free speech without realizing that such a thing just doesn't make sense in most modern settings.
But then you open yourself up entirely to being manipulated by the website owners. The Russian government has enough resources to artificially push their SEO way higher than it should be, and it's objectively lower quality information.

There isn't really a neutral option (no "conduit for bits") – you either let low quality, high resource sites flood your search results, or you try to filter for quality. Here, that choice is also aligned with a political choice.
>The government doesn’t “enforce rights”. They take rights away from people. Laws by definition limit what you can do.

If you want to have rights in any meaningful sense, people's actions must be limited such that they don't violate them overmuch.

>A company can only “violate my rights” if I choose to use those services.

That's complete nonsense. But even if it were true, how do you suppose that would help you if you don't have a handy oracle that provides you perfect information about every company's actions past, present, and future? It's not as if a company is likely to advertise practices they don't want you to know about. And there's nothing (aside from the government) preventing them from deciding the day after you purchase goods from them that, for example, they're not going to honor warranties anymore. And, of course, you don't have to buy from a company for them dump industrial waste on your property.

>It’s much easier not to for instance use a phone with an operating system controlled by an adTech company than it is to not have to deal with a government.

Is it easier to purchase all your goods and services from companies that have no objectionable practices? You probably don't have many choices of ISP and it's increasingly difficult to find a TV without some manner of integrated as tech.

>Do you really think a government that always pushes the limit on being a surveillance state cares about your “privacy”?

"The government" is not a single entity with only a single goal. Do I think that well-written legislation aimed at protecting privacy would, in effect, tend to protect privacy? Of course. Do I think that would stop the NSA from violating citizens' right to privacy? Of course not.
This analogy sucks because a rock band cannot make songs without actually playing together over and over again. You can however build software in modules or independent parts as long as you have clear specs about what each part should do and proper testing. Thats why you can outsource some software dev but you cannot outsource a rock band.

Terrible analogy.

If you want to pick something that makes more sense to compare, it would be something that is engineering related.

While some sections are TODO, the docs help getting an idea about it without having to install first, which I do like.

I wonder though, what if I don't have a pen? I imagine using it with keyboard for typing, and making some drawings/sketches etc. with mouse. Is that a first-class workflow?

Also, plugins written in Lua, I like that. Whether one is a fan of Lua or not, at least it is an low-entry bar to writing plugins, which generally is nice.

One more question, since the "Config"-part of the docs are very todo - is there some kind of dark mode? All screenshots are light mode, so I wouldn't take that for granted.

Mostly I am curious about the audio-record feature, I can imagine well, writing a brief summary and just talk a few additional remarks into my headset instead of typing that down.

Serious question: Is Musk going to allow threats of violence on Twitter?

The joking tweet in question wasn't a real threat of violence, but it's likely that Twitter's flawed algorithm flagged it as a threat of violence. So what about real threats of violence? Will those not be moderated at all under Musk?

Musk also said he wants to crack down on spam. Which requires automated detection, due to the extremely high volume of spam on Twitter. Everything on Twitter has extremely high volume, making it impossible to moderate manually. But algorithms are very imperfect, so you get a bunch of false positives, or a bunch of false negatives, or both. I wonder how this problem will get solved?
> One advantage is that you can map a button to a folder, allowing you to drill down into a whole different set of items.

You can do this with custom key mappings on all major operating systems. Basically you can open a program, open a folder, run a script or do anything you can run from the command line (including running multi-step operations).

On Windows there's AutoHotkey. It sounds like it might be complicated but it's not. For example this single line of code `#+w::Run chrome.exe -incognito` lets me press Win + shift + w to open an incognito Chrome window and `#n::Run, explorer.exe \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\nick\src\sites\nickjanetakis` opens my personal blog's directory inside of an Explorer window (default folder viewing app) with Win + n. I wrote a blog post[0] about using the basics of AutoHotkey and there's similar tools for Linux and macOS at least in the sense of being able to assign any action to a hotkey.

Of course it's a typical growing infestation of mostly single-family-homes, but at least it has some urban core as opposed to the suburbs around it. And when Austin can't grow anymore those suburb-only municipalities will, and the prediction is that their finances will continue to worsen as upkeep costs start to dominate.

The Superiority of Decentralized Credit
First and foremost, I am NOT trying to sell or promote any paid service or product whatsoever.
The purpose of this post is to invite discussion about a fundamentally different approach to how we view systems of currency.

Decentralized credit is an extremely simple yet extremely effective system of currency, which I believe to be vastly superior to any other system of currency, including those based on blockchains.

Decentralized credit allows for irrevocable representations of credit to be assigned, reassigned, and traded, utilizing the principles of public key cryptography. We can think of it like a system of tradable gift cards without the need for a trusted third party to trade them. This approach is different to that of blockchain, as the premise of blockchain is to prevent double spending by going through great lengths to maintain an immutable chain of events, and thus implement a trustless currency. However, a trustless currency is ultimately meaningless without the need to eventually trust someone to provide some good or service in exchange for it, otherwise the currency is just a number. Therefore, decentralized credit simply utilizes the trust that must exist anyway, even when using trustless currencies.

Furthermore, the actual value of a cryptocurrency may fluctuate with market conditions, whereas the value of credit depends only on the service provider. On the other hand, service providers may one day disappear and their credit will instantly lose all its value, whereas blockchain has no such central points of failure. The safety of decentralized credit will thus depend on the reliability of service providers to remain in service. The end goal is to have people hold most of their credit on reliable "pillars" of society, such as governmental agencies, or those that provide essential goods and services like cars, petroleum, or Internet, such that if they were to go away, then society would probably be facing more dire issues than the loss of digital credit anyway. There is no inherent risk for any service provider to start maintaining a system of credit in this way; the risk is placed entirely on the holders of credit who trust them.

The benefits of decentralized credit are that it is accessible to anyone with just a computer and Internet, and that it is extremely more simple and efficient than fiat or blockchain systems.

I have linked to a work-in-progress document that explains the underlying purpose and mechanisms of the system, in a project I am tentatively calling "AliceChain". I am genuinely curious what the community thinks about this system and its potential for society, and I will happily answer any questions you may have.
Thank you. Could you create PR or Issue with this tool?

I don’t like any SPA email clients I was ever forced to try, for example.
I don’t think email should play games with me and have latencies selecting and editing text, for example.
Microsoft’s Outlook.com is terrible in this regard, for example.

I can see where entertainment content involving mixed media would be a perfect candidate for an SPA.

The problem lies in an SPA-first approach.
When the tools and the dev training and code boot camps churn out SPA developers, the world is a nail and they have a hammer.
