For example: When I leave my home to walk to the shops or something, I will often put YouTube on and listen to something, when I get to the top of the road and the phone can still see the WiFi network but can't use it reliably playback will often stop before it has chance to to fully swap to cellular (And Background Play on iOS YouTube often will need a kick to start playing again after a network error).

So I have got into the habbit of "turning off" WiFi via control center as I'm setting up what to listen to as I'm leaving the house and the playback pause issue is gone. With the current behaviour of control center it will "re-enable" WiFi by the time I get home so I don't forget to swap back to WiFi and eat up my cell data.

EDIT: When I want to turn WiFi completely off, I have a shortcut to do just that which I added to to the Assistive Touch menu.
Except that Samuel wants to keep his place. So he will do whatever he can to leverage his current centrality to continue. His hope is to be in control when the hammer falls and flexibility stops. One way of doing that is to force the issue. Those in central positions within a dynamic market eventually seek to kill that market, leaving them in the monopoly position (amazon, google, facebook etc). To maintain decentralization in the long term such leaders need to be periodically culled, hopefully though market forces prior to them killing the market. In bitcoin, that might mean periodic removal of the largest commercial actors, perhaps by periodic price crashes that favor niche setups.

I don’t think they have to go that far. How often do you lug a laptop around with you or work with one on your lap or what about the money and floor space you put into having a workstation set up in your home? As much as Apple keeps trying, it’ll be a long time before laptops are as light and easy to use as a piece of paper and a pencil but that isn’t stopping anyone from using them.

I think an artist's job is to translate beauty from their imagination to other people's perception. If an artist wants to "push boundaries" and complains that people don't "educate themselves", that just means they're a bad translator - a bad artist.

False equivocation. Monopolizing the social graph and using it to manipulate people isn't the same as having links exist on the internet.

Only as a reference/comparison, in Italy the mimimum apartment allowed (intended for 1 person) is 28 sqm, to which you add 10 sqm for each adult more, children below 14 (if I remember correctly) do not count.

The typical 28 sqm apartment (they are called here "popular houses" and are usually built by some public entity and rented out to people in need at lowish rates) is actually fine (in a minimalistic view) for a single, as it usually includes an entrance/dining room/kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, but the 38 sqm and larger houses for 3 or more people do actually look like "shoeboxes".

Rich Text Editor for React
Hello Guys,

Until this year, draft.js was one of the mainly used libraries out there for building web based text editors, and there are lots of component libraries for React based on draft.js. However, the development team(which is facebook) has announced that the project is not under development anymore, since they have started a brand new project, which is Lexical. Lexical is a framework to build text editors and is under early development currently. By using Lexical, I have built a new component library that comes with a ready to use rich text editor. It is under very early development as well, as I am trying to make it more modular and flexible with each improvement. I hope this project can help some startups that needs to implement a highly functional text editor to their projects. All of the support(like stars) and contribution to the project is very much welcomed.

Thanks.
I didn't really think of it as having full access between two brains, but more as having a non-verbal bridge between the two, allowing for more direct sharing of individual thoughts, emotions, etc. Of course, if it's just a wireless brain bridge, the technology may not really be determining how the two brains use it. It will be fascinating to see what happens.

What you say makes no sense. It makes no sense that "prior to modern prepackaged food", throughout the hundreds of thousands of years that anatomically modern humans have existed, we needed salt in our diet "badly". If we did, we would have died out as a species, because for most of the time we existed we did not have access to salt. We had no salt mines, no salt flats, etc etc.

What makes a lot more sense is that we can get all the sodium we need from the food we eat, given a balanced and varied diet, like the omnivores that we are. In fact, this is the only thing that makes sense: that our bodies are tuned to our natural diet and that we can get enough nutrition from the food our bodies expect without the need for any additives.

So let's be honest here: the only reason that modern people salt their food is for the taste, and nothing else (not even preservation is an issue anymore, with modern refrigeration technology). Which is fine and dandy, but not when it becomes an obsession and it causes overconsumption that can cause health problems.
Having a supportive spouse probably does wonders for mental health. After 5 years in a relationship I decided to spin up my own business and learned about something I didn't know about significant other - she didn't recognise working for oneself as a legitimate work. For her I was "pissing away" my and her time and I should look for a second job if I wanted to make more money. I managed two years of constant berating, being laughed at and threatened. In the hindsight I wish I had ended the relationship the first time she demonstrated the lack of support. My project would have taken less time to get it to MVP and my mental health wouldn't be in a state it was.
After my project started making money she was of course sorry and wanted to get back together.

TLDR; There are lots of types of neurotransmitters and lots of types of neurons, even within the general class of Pyramidal neurons. There seem to be large variations in how and when the types of neurons form and modify synapses (connections) between them. What if there were only a few factors that govern most of that variation? Using computer simulation the authors focus on calcium as a signaling mechanism, the size of synaptic spines, and known behavior of pre and post synaptic structures to create a predictive model of how and when synapses will be modified. They then compare their simulated results and model with results taken from real-world experiments and get good agreement.
Not true? Just place a planet of the same size next to an existing one and see the effect.

"Implementors". Anything that needs to be "implemented" is either a) not finished, b) too big and complex, or c) both.

I work at Automattic as well and love P2s to the point that I changed my internal work title to "Accomplished P2 author".

I love how:

- They are async by default

- Incentivize deep analysis and thoughtful writing

- There is a canonical link for every piece of information, project, etc

- Discussions only need to happen once. Whenever somebody starts discussing a matter we analysed 3 years ago, somebody drops a link on slack to provide context.

To be fair, we are a company of 2000+ and every time we grow, we are actively discussing ways to evolve how we use P2s.

Keeping a writing culture requires habits as well. We specifically hire for good writting communication skills.
Coordinates in cartographic systems are traditionally fixed point, decimal or binary depending on the system. Many sources are internally quantized to meter resolution, though some newer ones are quantized to centimeter resolution. Because so much of this data is presented as floating point, it introduces a lot of apparent false precision.

The limits of practical precision for a fixed point on Earth is around 10 cm regardless of the measurement technique. Anything more precise than that is generally not reproducible. Fixed points on Earth will often quasi-randomly deviate from their median position by multiple centimeters over periods of hours regardless of the reference frame. In modern geospatial systems, it is not uncommon to have 1-cm defined as the physics floor such that any additional implied positioning precision can be disregarded or discarded for computational purposes.

Historically, not having "non-commercial" was extremely important for Free Software, as it meant people were allowed to distribute tapes, floppies and CD-ROMs for money with the software on it. We would never have had all the Linux distributions without that and nobody would have been able to get the software, as Internet for the masses was still a decade away.

The modern Internet has drastically lowered that barrier and "non-commercial" is slightly less of an issue, as you no longer need a middle man handling the shipping. However servers still don't run for free and non-commercial creates the problem of defining what commercial use actually is. Is having ads on your page enough to make it commercial use? What if the ads aren't under your control, but automatically inserted by the hoster (Instagram, Youtube, Reddit, etc.)? Donations to keep the servers running can count as commercial and all that. It gets really tricky to draw the line and most people will just avoid anything with a "non-commercial" clause.

Meanwhile attribution and sharealike are relatively harmless. Many Free Software licenses have required similar. They tell you exactly what rules you have to follow and don't hinder the distribution or use of it.
> Which is cool but not how decentralised systems work in practice ... In reality, we have an economy that quickly works out who is the best .. and routes most of the resources available for hashing there

I disagree, somewhat. It depends on the purpose of the decentralisation. If your aim is "best" which I think also means "cheapest" then yes, you have described what could happen.

But decentralisation can also have "resilience" as the goal, even at the expense of the best performance.

These goals might even be in conflict. What if Samuel, as noted "wants to keep his place". What if Samuel wants all the traffic to go him so that at some time, he can subvert it in some way. He may only need 51% of the traffic. He may be willing to take a loss for a while to get into this position. He may even have a government backer willing to spend a lot on outcomes and not be seeking a profit in itself.

And as noted, when Samuel is suddenly no the "best" after a long time in that position, chaos could ensue.

I hear "resilient" when "decentralised" is said. Many others will too. You're showing how this may be very misleading.

Ask HN: Why is the metric Median less popular than Average?
In almost all real-world instances - From individuals making personal decisions, to inter-governmental groups - whenever one is to try inferring meaning from data, Average seems to be the 'natural' metric of choice. To me, a lot of them could be using Median for better decision-making, but that seems to be no one's first choice.

From a sociological point of view, what is that?

A few points on why I feel Average is the dominant statistic (and counter-points):

* Median requires one to keep an indexed, sorted list. Average can be computed without needing order. _- This seems to be only a positive in computational sense, not real-world-decision-making sense. Governments can wait extra 10 minutes to calculate Median income instead of Average income._

* Average is simple for the Human Brain to make sense of

> the individuals others in the company point to who single-handedly fought the system and got a new product, project or service delivered

There is a toxicity lurking here. We should also be looking for the individuals who brought positive innovations, fought the system, and failed to overcome it. Why failed? Because it's not their fault that the system is broken, we cannot burden innovators with both the fixing of the environment, plus innovation. Else their only innovation may be how to cope with an increasingly terrible organization, and if that org wants survive or evolve it needs the innovators to stay.
> (amazon, google, facebook etc)

I'm not sure where I sit on your major point, but these 3 just are not monopolists and this is a mistake that keeps getting made. All 3 of these are in cut throat markets where they compete by selling really great products (AWS, Google Search and Facebook respectively).

A lot of individuals don't like them (I refuse to use Google, for example) but that doesn't change the fact that they get market share by being great at what they do.

K8s spun off of Google’s Borg operator software specifically designed for high availability at FAANG scale. So essentially K8s is the “community edition.” Go read the Google SRE Book for context.

We use it to serve ruby with 50 million requests per minute just fine. And the best part is the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler which saves our ass during seasonal spikes.

While serverless/lambda are great I do think K8s is the most flexible way to serve rapidly changing containerized workload at scale.

I have both Förnuftig (meaning sensible, great name) and a Coway Storm AP-1516D. I prefer the Coway, but it is much more powerful.

The only issue I have with the Förnuftig is the noise level, even on medium it is too loud for me. Apart from that, it is fine. It isn't as powerful and advanced as the Coway but everyone loves the look of it and asks what it is, and shows their spouses it.

Coway is big, powerful, quite silent but also clunky and in the way.
It is inevitable that the technology will mature. It is not inevitable that it will play the role people think it will play.

I think I'd be more enthusiastic if:

- VR headsets weren't still so bad. Merely good VR devices is still a long way off.
- the existing VR experiences weren't still so bad
- the market wasn't completely fragmented and any purchase you make now is very short term
- any meaningful degree interoperability is still way off in the future
- the dominant player wants a walled garden where you are a powerless guest - at best

Headsets will get better, but it'll be a slow, expensive and frustrating journey I'd be happy to let someone else get frustrated with. I've followed VR for about 30 years and if you look at it in that perspective, astonishingly little has been accomplished in terms of building something that even rises to where it isn't a frustrating, nauseating, sad experience.

And if Zuck's walled garden is where the action is going to be at, I might sit it out entirely. Why would I invest my time being part of a community where I have absolutely no rights? That would be a really poor choice.

There are legitimate reasons why people aren't as enthusiastic as you. And it doesn't make them naysayers.

> better approach is to save some money, leave for a year and become profitable from day 1

In many Western economies, the level of taxation is designed to prevent you from doing that. It would take many years to save enough money to sustain yourself for a year without changing your commitments much. So either way you are in a bad position. I mean it's possible if you don't have a family, share a flat with others so your bills are low and so on, but you may end up just as burnt living in such environment.

It sounds like our experiences differ when it comes to low level diagrams. While I'm dealing with a lot of complexity in systems I'm developing, they don't tend to have a high number of lines of code - or at least they don't once we get the architecture right :)

Perhaps there is a correlation between complexity due to a high number of lines of code and benefits provided by low level diagrams. If there is then it does pose the question of when you should invest time in creating and maintaining low level diagrams and when it would be better spent reducing the size of the codebase.
