What power difference? I have the money, the refrigerator company wants that money. I have half a dozen refrigerator companies trying to convince me that their product is the one worth my money. What power does any single refrigerator company have over me?

Its all very interesting as an idea. But in reality when things go fully tracked you'll be fined for not having location data for every trip. It will impact insurance. Your registration. Even basic road usage. People have this idea right now that public roads will always stay free. This is not guaranteed.

Even the coming road taxes are all about constant tracking. How far / which road did you drive? They'll demand the answer. And you put a faraday cage to stop this? Suspicious. The default assumption is going to be fraud. Criminal behavior.

All the EVs will soon enough have some variety of tracking sooner or later. So thats basically all new vehicles. The alternatives will also, whatever they are. Hydrogen?

DDG needs to understand that they are in the business of "trust", which fuels their brand, and trust is gained each and every day over a long period of time, and it can be lost in an instance.

And when we deal with "trust" perception is just as relevant as reality.

This is a fork in the road for DDG, they can come out of this stronger than ever, or be tarnished and doomed.
> The popularization of crypto is exactly what someone interested in web revival should want (breaking down barriers, rules, walled gardens, etc).

I think the primary point of conflict might be that web revivalists actually want simplicity, openness, and equality, whereas crypto enthusiasts just say they do.
>Most casinos operate on this basis without requiring constant injections of further capital.

They mitigate the risk by settings caps to maximum bets. You can't just bet a bit more than half of a casino's assets in double or nothing with them. They don't want to be taking a 50% chance of losing everything. Even if there was a 2% edge that's still a 48% chance of it happening. They would rather work with smaller amounts where the chance of someone winning a ton of times in a row to eventually win everything is practically 0%.

>The stablecoin on the other hand claims that stakers are being rewarded for risking their capital without holders of the stable coin being fleeced at their expense.

They may be rewarded but they aren't being guaranteed that the value of what they hold will always go up.

Again a Ponzi scheme is a very specific thing. People make an investement and returns on that investment come from new investors. In this kind of stablecoin system there is no part that where that specific thing happens.

>were supposed to enjoy average negative returns for the sheer joy of gambling like people on craps tables

This is usually how algostables work. People bet on growth of the project and once growth has peaked negative returns will be coming. By trying to avoid this period of negative returns a depeg happens.

I was saying this for a while - the rights to private property are going the way of dodo.

If the manufacturer can observe the device remotely, can control the device, can add or remove functionality, decide to stop selling you spare parts so you have to buy a new one, or brick it at any time - meanwhile you cant get the device to do what you want, or even to stop showing you ads?

You are not an owner, you are just sucker paying the bill. John deer agrees, in their submission to the court the argued that the farmer is not the owner of the tractor they bought.

This is worse than taxes, at least there you get a vote
This is the root problem of so many "designer" products which try to combine together different things. Of course those who practice these kind of activity know that the alternative to this bundle of joy is cheaper, safer, lighter and thorougly tested. But it involves buying multiple different things, namely:

- An electric bike (or just a regular bike)
- A packraft or a collapsible kayak
- A tent
- Bike bags
- a plant pot (why?)

So the question is who is this for? My instinct tells me that this is pure investor bait, with no real customer base.

I'm a little annoyed at the requirement for secure boot on these platforms. As the device owner I want to get security updates, but I also want to be able to run my own software if I so choose. I don't think physical security is a problem that ready to be solved In legislation like this unless we're talking about a smart safe

I welcome new legislation in this area but it seems to me that lobbyists are once again screwing over the general consumer by adding anti-features into these legislations. Luckily IOT-vendors are absolutely abysmal at protecting their devices so I doubt we'll see too many devices locked down that weren't already.
I don't think it's the word "ending" so much as the grammar. It sounds like you mean the word N was registered with a certain percentage of endings, whereas you say a certain percentage of endings were registered with the word N.

It seems "domain ending" might be a somewhat common way to describe a TLD in lay terms. That said, I am a geek and a curmudgeon, so I still think writing out top-level domain makes the most sense in such a context.
The catch is that you can know certain and impossible things without measurement by simply showing their amplitudes to be 1 and 0 respectively. In case of the cat you have state after observation |dead>|see dead> + |alive>|see alive>, then project it to basis <see definite cat| <see indefinite cat| :

<see definite cat|(|dead>|see dead> + |alive>|see alive>) = 1

<see indefinite cat|(|dead>|see dead> + |alive>|see alive>) = 0
This is just reverse foolery. A gun is valuable whether people believe in it or not. Same with a hamburger.

I prefer aliases when possible because they inherit autocomplete rules. Also it’s easy to “complect” things with custom scripts.
That ship has sailed with TVs now but you can still buy high-end non-smart kitchen appliances from most manufacturers, Samsung included. Smart kitchen appliances are outrageously expensive (the Samsung smart fridge range is ~30% more expensive than their highest priced alternative based on a quick Google) so it's not like you're being forced to buy one of these.
True, there should be an anony way to prove that you've paid. That would solve the issue.
This is a real pain typically.

But, Bubble has an API connector that can query data in and out a third party data source (in my case its a Postgres that I access over REST calls).

Bubble's data layer is terribly slow. I'd recommend maintaining the bulk of your data in an efficient self-hosted or managed instance
But you can't just put

...tp://my_site/some_dir/any_sqlite_file.db

in an URL and expect a user's browser to display something sensible like it would with an HTML file (or even a fixed-format text data file). You need a process on your server that translates the content in the database to browser-readable HTML.

So in the sense of "put up a website by just transferring static files", an Sqlite database isn't quite "a flat file". It's a single file, yes; but its content is "bumpy" -- not "flat".

(Then again, once you have that translate-content-to-HTML process installed on your Web server, updating the content is reduced to just transferring a new .db file to it.)

> Can a vocally left-leaning professional engineer still do a good job when the client is vocally right-leaning?

Yeah, exactly. They have to be professionally neutral.

> Should we muzzle them also?

He'd not being muzzled. As he points out in the linked article, he "ha[s] not practised engineering for more than a decade". That is probably a factor in the boards decision - he is clearly using an official title that is supposed to be politically neutral in political activism. This is clear because he is not doing engineering.

I personally agree with his activism, but it is out of line with what engineering strives for as a discipline.

> Should we also restrict this profession to only "politically neutral individuals"?

There is no need for politically neutral lawyers. Law isn't a matter of dealing with an objective reality in the same way engineering or medicine are. Although they do use logic, law isn't a technical field.

And I do think that license restrictions on who can be a lawyer are deeply questionable, although as time passes I do better understand the perspective for for forcing people who want to be judges to engage with traditional culture.

I mean, it’s true that the peg may in some instances be difficult (or undesirable) to maintain, and may be dropped (the yuan isn’t strictly pegged to the dollar anymore, say). But at that point the currency will generally still be a useful currency. The only value of a stablecoin is that it’s pegged to something; once the peg is lost it becomes largely useless.
I am having trouble getting a read on their intention with the aesthetics here. They are DELIBERATELY showcasing 80's era interfaces including green-screen terminals on their corporate home page.

Just trying to figure out if this is...

a) An ironic put-on of some kind

b) Maybe they're a company that continues to service this equipment for a customer base of aged moguls that had this installed in their grand estates 40 years ago, so they decided to get a web-presence (after finding someone to translate their Hypercard deck to a website).

b) They're playing it straight and trying to show that this stuff is a "long-term" solution-- with the argument that if this stuff is still running after being installed 40 years ago that, of course, it will be running 40 years from now?

On the other hand looking at the fragmented state of home automation right now, one has to wonder if there's a profound lack of vision that was lost in the last 30+ years. Perhaps it just goes to show that a well-thought out system design can last a long time almost regardless of what technology was chosen.

The home automation market right now looks like a sketchy hot mess of surveillance capitalism and blatant rent-seeking. If you want something that actually respects you and your household without ulterior motivations and you can't "roll your own" maybe something like this is the ticket for you?
I would say yes, that's a disqualification: It's a single file, but not "flat" in the sense of directly human- (or browser-) readable.
One of things that drives me crazy about iOS volume control is trying to adjust the volume of navigation while driving.

> Why are index funds expected to lose money but Wood's fund not?

index funds are getting market returns, which could be negative. However, over a long period of time, the market returns of a highly diversified portfolio is expected to be positive, and this is based on historical evidence, and the theory that the market's growth is tied to the growth of humanity.

A sector specific fund has no such evidence for it's growth long term. It may be obvious in hindsight that tech must grow, as it's the future, but imagine if you did invest in a train based sector fund back in the industrial age - what would've happened to your investments compared to the market average?

I actually left a top-level comment on this post that responds to the article in depth here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31557587. To be clear, though, we do block Microsoft 3rd-party cookies and their scripts are also further restricted in our browsers with additional web protections, e.g., fingerprinting protection, Global Privacy Control, referrer header trimming, etc.

What this article is talking about specifically is one web protection that the major browsers don't even attempt to do — stopping third-party tracking scripts from even loading on third-party websites.

US retakes first place from Japan on Top500 supercomputer ranking
I couldn’t find a definition of offensive from Google. Many of their specific policies seem quite reasonable to me. Some are in a category that could be quite demeaning to a respectably large group of people and do so for no purpose. (See “turn a blind eye”, for example.). Some have nothing to do with offensiveness but are about clarity (e.g. “holidays” — for a lot of the world, the big long holiday season simply isn’t what Americans think of it as, and, as a programmer writing in the most widely-understood language in the world, one should realize that many of one’s readers aren’t American). Some are bizarre (e.g. Google’s alternative suggestion for “hamburger menu” literally cannot be written in an HN comment and is about as easy to read out loud as the artist formerly known as Prince’s unpronounceable name; I think Google is trying to make technical writing accessible to users of assistive technologies here, but I don’t think the resulting guideline is actually practical to follow in many contexts or achieves its goal. I don’t use assistive technologies, but, if I were unable to perceive the “hamburger” icon, I have trouble imagining that a screen reader or similar system would interpret Google’s icon-based name for it in a way that made any sense at all.

And yes, some can be baffling. I’m having trouble figuring out what first-class citizen is a reference to, if anything. Wikipedia’s article on first class citizens attributes the name to a paper by Christopher Strachey, which contains a single instance of the word “citizen” or a variant thereof:

> Thus in a sense procedures in ALGOL are second class citizens

Which is clear in context and vague out of context. I assume, with no real evidence, that this is a mildly confused reference to Ancient Greece, but I could be entirely off base. In any event, the term “first class”, to me, evokes “first class mail”, which is fascinating given the complete lack of, say, second-class mail. In the UK, “first-class” has additional meanings. I’m not sure why Google thinks that “first-class” is “socially charged”. Maybe someone from Google knows?

(I understand why “blacklist” would be seen as “socially charged”, although I wouldn’t use that term. I don’t think it was originally intended as a racist term, but there was a great essay, I think by Langston Hughes, on how this type of use of “black” can be problematic. Sadly, I can’t find that essay. I could be mis-remembering who wrote it.)
