Good question. I was about to edit this into my comment, but now it works better as a reply.

The act of "reading" the configuration of a time crystal disturbs the time crystal. So you either a set of maximally-similar time crystals that you read at various times during a day, or you need to re-freeze your single disturbed time-crystal each time you read it.

There are ordinary crystals which literally melt out of their crystalline state when handled / measured-by-bright-light. The organized pattern is broken with the additional energy. Time crystals are patterened over time, and that pattern breaks when they are handled / measured-by-bright-light.

You could think of it as having to shine a flashlight (or laser) through the time crystal to figure out which way it twists the light at a given time t_x. If you know the temporally-periodic structure, you can predict the different twisting when you turn on the light at t_x versus t_x+1 or t_x-1. But lighting up the crystal breaks the lowest-energy condition of the time crystal -- it's melted by the light it twists -- so you have to re-freeze it back into its predictable periodic structure, otherwise you might get the same twisting (or none) at t_{measured}+1, t_{measured}+2, ..., t_{measured}+n.

(It is fairly literally re-freezing: you have to do laser cooling or the like. And it takes energy to run the cooler, which removes energy from the not-lowest-energy-state broken time crystal, so thermodynamics isn't violated.)
And you can use feet on Mars, despite there being no actual feet there.

The second is 1/86,400 of a nominal Earth sidreal day. More or less.

Slightly less with time as the Earth's rotation is in fact slowing.
But that nepotistic framework produced a lot of good results, so it is unclear if fixing it this way actually improved the output. Meritocracy isn't a good thing if the extra burden of trying to evaluate merit actually worsen the outcome of the process.
> Nice, I love when people put words in my mouth

I never said you said anything? How is making baseless claims good faith?

> Musk oversteps on Twitter, bring up the SEC charges, bring up the twitter purchase, bring up his freedom of speech absolution

So people are upset with what Musk spends his riches on?

> They literally have an embarrassment of riches while people die around them.

Im willing to bet we are both living in a rich country with ruining water, electricity and plenty of food while little slave kids make our shoes. We are all embarrassingly rich in the context of the real world but I don't think the people upset with Musk are upset about this. I think they just see some one with more than them and get upset and then they use it as a scapegoat that only the richest man in the world has the power to free those little kids making your shoes, and that the rest of us are powerless to do anything but go along with it and keep buying the shoes made with child slavery.
These articles frequently err on the side of assuming that online security is entirely about worrying about random internet strangers taking advantage of you. For many people, the primary concern is an abusive SO, ex or relative, getting fired from their current job et al.

Some articles do address such things but they have something of a tendency to be addressed as a separate issue from "online privacy" rather than one element of the issue and a bigger issue for some individuals than others.
How can purple exist? (2001)
why does this company have this burn rate? it’s just an exchange so you only need maybe 10 people to run it?
Publish your hardly earned knowledge is directly against the interests of most private companies.

The smart people in industry don't do it, unless they need a government pass, or at least keep the best parts for themselves.
And plenty of businesses have gone the other way and decided that the personal touch of being greeted by a human being provides less business value than a computer. E.g., McDonalds, Wendy's, your grocery store.
I guess it really depends on what country you live in. In America, history has taught me people with enough money and power can destroy your life with immunity and that you could be one election away from 1984 or Hunger Games.
> Undo/Redo: funny thing, it works on Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z, but is not wired in the menu (don't ask why, it's sort of a tech debt, haha)

Cmd+Z doesn't work either here (Intel iMac with macOS 12.4), that's why I noticed it: https://sc.robsite.net/files/1655506798-shottr-cmd-z.mp4

> The scrolling issue in the Finder is due to the Finder's way of quirky overriding scroll events in this particular mode. I'm not sure how to fix it tbh

No need to, this was just testing edge cases. If I ever need to capture a list of folders, shottr works great in the Terminal: https://sc.robsite.net/files/1655506994-shottr-terminal.png

> Upload to the private server: I don't plan on monetizing the app and would gladly replace uploading to my server with something else. Which protocol would you prefer, FTP, SFTP, SSH?

Everyone has different setups, but SFTP and SSH with custom ports and private key auth should work. And ideally the option to copy a URL to the clipboard and/or show it. So I upload a file bla.png to folder /var/www/domain.com/images, it adds a timestamp or unique key to not overwrite files and returns https://domain.com/images/12345-bla.png. But that's just me, if others need different things they'll write you.

> I thought it works ok because I mostly use key shortcuts for everything, but for the mouse users it should be a nightmare. I plan on fixing it [...] It's always a balance between intuitiveness and efficiency for experienced users.

Yeah, power users like shortcuts and GUI people like to always see the options, but both are new users at some point. Even the future power user likes to see the best options first, before deciding to delve deeper.

So you might have a slightly more elaborate GUI in addition to shortcuts. I was thinking about Pixelmator in that regard: https://sc.robsite.net/files/1655507705-pixelmator.gif

> How can I pan a big screenshot with a mouse: there's also a Space+Drag trick

Oh nice. Also add a Pan tool to your sidebar :D

> I'm building the app mostly for myself and favor efficiency whenever possible.

I appreciate that. Building apps for oneself, with lots of "must-have" features missing, is freeing. Who needs pagination, I only ever have 1000 things :)

> But now that I have a decent user base, I guess I need to accept some compromises to improve experience for others.

Also, you're posting this app on Hacker News and you have a nicely crafted website for it, so people will treat it as a product.

But, just as Skitch doesn't have a sidebar and tons of options (which is why I like it, compared to https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html for example), maybe disregard all feature requests like mine and just keep building it for yourself and see where it goes.
The only place without moving goal-posts and / or younger incoming / better skilled talent is a government job.

If you don't want to have to care about improving / competing work as a paralegal, in retail or for the government.

Yes, it sucks but it's a reality of working in an industry as well paid as software engineering.

I'm convinced that sitting on your laurels even if you're well above average for say 4-5 years and not actively improving / being cognizant of others around you and their skillsets will always result in poor career outcomes.

You conflate Capitalism (developed during the Renaissance[1]) with Colonialism (around since the Iron Age[2]). How is point no 4 related to Capitalism? Where is the willing buyer/willing seller for point 6? Is your argument that there would be no work related deaths under communism? Who is forcing people to work in the cotton industry?

So yeah, come up with more examples.

> These claims of leaded gas hurting the children around airport is just the newest in a long list of excuses to close airports so their land can be redeveloped into more strip malls and condos

One thing particularly twisted about that is:

1. The airport announced that it is trying to convert to unleaded fuel

2. Immediately after that announcement, the NIMBYs tried to get an emergency judgement to close the airport (because converting to UL fuel would completely undermine their only semi-legitimate argument for closure)

3. If the airport is closed, and if the lead pollution is truly as bad as they claim, then it will be economically infeasible to re-develop the airport as condos (which is what they're actually trying to do, not save the children) because the ground would be too polluted.

Yes, we forgot about all the SpaceX assets on Mars, and none from anywhere else. Are we expected to believe in some Mars colony coming soon?
It’s on the type certificate that stock Lycoming and Continental engines are certified to run on 100LL. The standard for 100LL is a composition standard (not a performance standard; it literally has to have x grams of TEL/gallon, not just have a certain demonstrated octane).

Absent an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) to change that, there is a regulation that those engines in certified aircraft have to use leaded fuel to be airworthy (legal) as airworthiness requires both “in condition for safe operation” and “in conformance with its type design”.

GAMI is pursuing an all-model (or many, many model) STC for their fuel to remedy this, but it’s a regulation issue currently.
I actually got a copy for around the same price at a local independent game store back then. Weirdly enough, I went to Waldenbooks immediately afterward, and was very surprised, and also quite pleased, to find a player's guide specifically for Americans playing the Japanese imports.
Back in the early 90's, the first computer that I owned was a Psion 3 PDA with 256kB of battery-backed RAM, which was shared automatically between "disk" and working memory. Applications were held in ROM. On one occasion I needed to prepare a church address list. I entered the contact details in to a new contacts list (actually a simple flat-file database), exported to the spreadsheet to sort them, then exported to the word processor for formatting and printing. Not only was it possible, but it was easy. So yes, 5MB was a lot.
Thanks! You can add IRA accounts if you save your plan. You're not the only person to ask for that - we need to improve the UI there.

LMN 3: An Open-Source DAW-in-a-Box
That would definitely be a problem if the compliance regulations were written based on existing technologies with insufficient flexibility to allow for buildings that are functionally and safety-wise equivalent but using technologies that didn't exist or weren't considered when the regulations were written. It's definitely the sort of thing that can slow down innovation, but it's not going to prevent it altogether. Regulation should never prevent developing proof-of-concept buildings and then being able demonstrate that they're just as good as those built with conventional technology, and building codes aren't carved in stone (even if they change at a seemingly glacial pace).
Value is subjective, so who decides?
To expand on this: if you're designing / building / assembling a computer or cluster, and components are 6" apart, then the minimum latency for communicating between those components is 1 nanosecond.

Given clock speeds of multiple GHz, that means spending an entire clock cycle or more simply communicating between components.

See also the case of the 500 mile email: https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html

(A Sendmail misconfiguration resulted in a maximum response time of 3 milliseconds, or roughly 500 miles of travel at the speed of light. The observed behaviour was that a uni campus computer could send email only within a 500 mile radius, as noted by the statistics department.)
That was an insightful game. There was a negative demand shock scenario and to play it properly, it requires first dropping interest rate to 0%, then followed by high interest rate to bring inflation back down over time, which is exactly what's happening in the real world.

It's likely that's the reason why they took the game down.
> So because they are footing part of the bill they might as well just foot the whole thing?

They are paying for the whole thing! Do you think private prisons raise money for donations to pay for prisoners to subsidize the public out of the good of their heart?

Are you assuming that prisoners deserve to be slaves and that their labor should be free?
The options are in fact that either these financial burdens are paid either by the families of incarcerated people, or the taxpayer. I vote for the taxpayer. We have this system of putting people in prison for our own safety -- the least we can do if we incarcerate people is to pick up the costs of our own justice system.

Ruining the financial lives of their families and of their children isn't the path I favor, personally. We want this justice system we can pay for it.
Really enjoyed that! Thanks!

I already subscribe to NYT and this makes me feel good about it.
I'm not sure, however, it seems that the game does not have the element of borrowing / lending of money. I think the optimal strategy will be quite different than yours, when the economy has the loan component.
?! Apart from the replacement of the current regimes configuration worldwide with a stable coordinated alliance, wiping the current *brink* and redrawing a reassuring image over it? How was that remotely proposable given the chessboard outside the window? Europe is rearming!!!

Last piece of news I got from the papers only minutes ago was Cuba and Urals having met to proclaim their will for a multipolar world - is not the present time clear enough?

Was my previous post not clear? Proposals have to be credible! Anybody can come up with a proposal which is not a solution. It is what so-called "populism" does for a living, to spread "enthusiastic, (pseudo)heartly" ideas. There is no value in "they shall eat cake": you have to point to where the flour and eggs are!

In the 1970s, I did a 2,000 mile hitchhike in U.S. & Canada, then a year or two later, 2 months hitching around continental Europe (including a few train and boat segments). I even successfully re-entered the U.S. from Canada without any identification at all (it was stolen along with my wallet in Windsor) as a passenger/hitcher.

On the other hand, I've driven 15K or more miles in U.S. road trips in the last 15 years, can't remember the last time I saw a hitcher.

Then, there was that one time in the 1990s that I was just getting on the eastbound Bay Bridge (S.F. -> Oakland) on my homeward commute and an attractive young woman was hitching, an extremely uncommon event. Having only a few seconds to decide I did not stop, but I bet she didn't have to wait long.

I'm glad I did it when I did, but the whole concept of getting in a metal cage traveling at potentially lethal speeds with a complete stranger would scare me off today if I were in a position to even consider it. Then, I suppose the internet enables people to share long-distance car trips more easily than ever in the past, with less risk.
You fail to understand the years of marketing, r&d, lobbying and outright anticompetitive practices these companies have been unleashing to "sell more product".

If we had any meaningful regulation, these companies would be forced to begin paying for their products' impacts on climate.

while I agree with you that there isn't an equivalence between imprisoning someone who has committed a crime with someone who hasn't, I do think it is universally barbaric and evil to practice slavery.

I tried to keep inflation between 1.5-2% for the first 50 months and then decided to find out what happens if I YOLO permanently fix the interest rate to -0.5%.

After the 240 months I somehow ended with GDP 442999 and 1.53% inflation.

How come? Shouldn't I have a runaway inflation?
Thanks, that's clearer.

Before two women with Oxfam showed up at my door yesterday asking for donations, I had never heard of Oxfam. Not wanting to give my credit card details to some random person with an iPad, I told them I'd look into Oxfam and then decide what I want to do. I took no action, but now I feel like I've looked into them enough and have made the right choice. Excellent timing.

They also just sold themselves to be a clean water charity, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Golden Gulag by Ruth Wilson Gilmore in part makes the argument that the prisons basically form a jobs program, as small farms got kicked shitless in the 70-80s prisons offered jobs that you could justifiably put in the middle of nowhere and were paid for by the government (federal or state).

She specifically downplays the economics of slave labor in favor of the rural jobs argument (for both analytic and moral reasons)
In practice there are things such as country-wide sanctions that make "regular" services not particularly reliable in some cases.
Europe does not have continent-scale banks. It has a few players who dabble their toes in multiple countries.

From a quick investigation I can't see any bank that operates branches in all three of the largest countries (France, Germany and Italy), never mind all 27 member states. And those that do operate in many countries (HSBC must have the most) can have their local subsidiaries insured by the appropriate countries, just as they are insured by the FDIC when they open branches and take deposits in the US.

Complaining about speculative bubbles on a VC website is beyond ironic.

I think a better way to put it is that The Economist has a bias unique to itself. They typically publish articles which are consistent with their own particular editorial voice rather than remaining properly dispassionate.

Really, the big difference between The Economist and other popular "biased" publications is that The Economist has avoided becoming a party mouthpiece. Yes, it's certainly a political publication, but they arrive at that position without having fallen prey to the usual motivated reasoning. I credit this unusual distinction to the international nature of their operation and the focusing effect granted by virtue of hanging everything on a single overarching topic.

Dissipative process: energy out. Eventually stop vibrating.

Time crystals cycle through their configurations until you put energy in. Otherwise, they are in lowest energy state, so no energy out. Ever.
