What a great demo of the product :D
In order to broadcast a transaction, you need to be connected to the network, which requires a IP, which I'd consider part of identity.

If that identity belongs to your ISP or a VPN or something else is irrelevant, as that would be anonymity on the IP level rather than the level of the Bitcoin protocol.
No, you are not. And on the Cloudflare blog I've been fighting against them because they just create confusion.
This would be interesting if E2EE was officially supported. I could run a server for a group instead of using a hosted service, but it would never fly if the administrator (me) could read their messages.

I see there is a plugin for it¹, but not having something so core in the main product makes me sure there will be friction and user support issues.

I find it hard to believe that Apple with it’s shrinking fractional share is legitimately holding back a web utopia.

Android and Chrome are everywhere, if it could happen it just would. It has the market already and that share is growing.
The attacks on Apple locking down the browser engine seem obvious: it’s the next largest chunk of users which Chromium can absorb and a way of taking Apple’s platform out from their control. (i.e It’s about money, not idealism or purity or some saccharin tech empyrean).

The result would be obvious, less browser engines and more control to Google - I think few would argue that less browser engines are a good thing since the whole point of this argument is supposedly the opposite.

As for apple’s security rationale: We frequently see serious security threats across a range of engines, especially Chromium, the argument of limiting that vector on iOS platforms is solid with history on its side. Placing a high risk component in the hands of a different company is beyond
foolish, because in comparison to a desktop computer, the smartphone is a figurative treasure chest.

“- But what about user choice?”
Users aren’t demanding this, and they really do have a choice since picking an iPhone means wading through a sea of Android options at every available price point and screen size.

Which brings me to an ignored point: One really needs to acknowledge that users aren’t dummies and their choice of iPhones isn’t blind chance. The apple ecosystem suits a type of user lifestyle with its low-effort approach to technology.

What actually needs to happen is we stop asking the foxes what the chickens want.
If you are a programmer who doesn't care about your user, you are a terrible programmer - period.

Care about the user, programmers. Not the manager, not your fellow work competitors. The USER.

Without a USER, nothing you do has value - at all.

(Note: your manager and your fellow work competitors can be users too. Don't overlook that fact! Hopefully they care enough about the users, too, that they are willing to wear the user hat during your product development cycle. Even managers wearing users hats are users. I hope you still care even then!)
but wouldn't all benefit if Apple is forced to show a selection on Mac/iOS, and Google would be forced on Android/ChromeOS?

Chrome is by far the largest driver behind "Safari bad, Safari no support standards" of these "grassroots no-name initiatives".

No Safari is the largest driver of the "Safari no support standards". It's Apple's choices, not Google or Microsofts or Mozilla's, that make Safari not support standards.

Edit-reply due to rate limit: my own experience was WebCrypto, which was very much a standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Crypto_... and ignored by Safari for years. There are many, many others.

If there are examples of 'Apple ignoring standards' actually meaning Chrome-only features please tell me one.
For a screenshot? Yeah JPEG sucks. For a diagram with large blocks of uniform color and sharp edges? Yeah JPEG sucks.

But for pictures, JPEG is in its comfort zone and it's amazing it is still doing comparatively well after the IT equivalent of 150 years. Only now worthy alternatives are starting to emerge (looking at you JPEG XL), not for lack of trying (looking at you WEBP). It's incredible it managed to stay relevant for so long, and while surely patents, sunken cost fallacies, hardware implementations and inertia played a part, none of this would have mattered if it hadn't been pretty good to start with.
Not even that but the chosen reference of the same file size (Q15+Fix vs QL18) is hardly distinguishable to me.

In essence, the author discovered how to make JPEG images look better by increasing their file size.
What they forgot to mention: virtually all children in Germany have decent health insurance with extremely low deductibles (privately insured, due to well-paid or self-employed parents) or none (publicly insured, which would be the vast majority), neither of which is subject to the parents’ employment.
I'm an expat in Germany. I don't think the deepl translation captures the nuances quite correctly. As I understand it, the original is about accepting injury as a matter of routine, not about accepting it at all.

I also called the city to report a loose screw at a playground once. The first question was "where?" and the second was "danger of injury?". I don't remember the exact wording, but it was clear to me that someone would be sent PDQ if there was, and it might wait a few days it not. I'd guess the author of the first paragraph might be thinking about maintenance etc., not about whether to build tall structure at all.

>How much power does it use?
502W with all drives spinning at idle, 516W during a RAID 0 benchmark, and 640W peak (as measured) during the final batch of drive spinups at boot. If I only run 15 drives, it runs around 200W. So with 60 drives and a Raspberry Pi as the CPU, this XL60 chassis will eat up around 360 kWh per month.

I guess if I could afford 60 drives, the electricity cost wouldn't phase me, but 360 kWh would more than double my electricity usage!
Less kids per person maybe?
Plausible's website metrics are public and you can see the impact this article has on their traffic (due to front page of HN, I presume).

Traffic goes from approx 4K visitors/day to almost 20K visitors today (so far).

https://plausible.io/plausible.io
If that's the case, that's because the people are choosing crappy politicians who let that happen. If a father of a family lets the five-year old decide where to live, what to eat, and what to buy, that doesn't mean the five-year old has the power, it just means that the father has voluntarily given the power to him. However, he could take it back whenever he felt like it.

Same thing goes for lobbyists. They would have zero power if politicians gave them zero power. If the population would be smart and informed, this wouldn't happen. So, what's happening now is totally a result of democracy, which of course is a totally ridiculous idea^1, but it's still democratic.

[1]: Let people who have absolutely no idea how to run things decide who should run things. That's like if the passengers of an airplane, having zero experience with aviation, deciding on who the captain should be.
All their marketing seems to be pitching the product against Google Analytics. But they don't spend any time differentiating themselves from other privacy-first analytics companies, of which there are many.

I mean, when they started in 2018:

> Uku’s first thought was, “Ugh. Can we just use something other than Google Analytics?”. This is how the idea for Plausible was born.

Surely they must have looked around and seen that there were already quite a few products doing privacy-first analytics? But yet they started anyway? And had success even though their marketing doesn't really state any reasons why the user should use them not the many other privacy-first analytics offerings out there?

I mean I'm happy for them that they're successful, but I think there must be more to it than alluded to in this blog post, both in (a) the decision to start in the face of lots of competition and (b) success despite not trying to differentiate themselves from the competition.
I'm interested in approaches for this, bearing in mind that I don't know people in real life who I can give cash for crypto, and can't mine coins. I wanted to buy some tokens to set up a side project, but the prospect of giving all my details to Coinbase or some other exchange is unappealing.
No, what would happen is that Apple would actually have to spend resources on competing with other browser engines, instead of holding the web back via monopoly. They certainly have the money to do so.
Cofounder, everytime I build on AWS I feel a disconnect between abstraction levels. Would love to hear about your feedback from OpsFlow
Hackintosh VMs are readily available (admittedly not provided by Apple, but that’s hardly a significant hurdle).
I remember that almost 20 years ago, I played with a utility that allowed manual JPEG optimization by painting regions with desired quality settings. I think it was included on a CD bundled with "Magazyn internetowy WWW" [1]. Does anyone remember such program?

And yet the received wisdom of centuries says to exercise to work up an appetite.
Seems like you have the exact opposite take here that I do. Rather than allowing surveillance of kids because we are being surveilled by other companies, maybe make that surveillance harder too?

Not to mention that, at least theoretically, you have a choice to interact with the other people surveilling you. Kids have no choice and are forced to go to school and would be under forced surveillance and data harvesting.
> There was no such thing as a 100% white Russia by any definition of the term in any era!

He was born in 100% white Russia.

In 1998 the village were Asimov was born counted 215 residents...

Of course Asimov being Jewish from a Russian Jewish family that dated back at least 4 generations, knew very well of being Jewish.

> You seriously need to take a look through history if you think the acknowledgement of minorities existence is a modern interpretation of historical facts

You're overreacting mate.

I know very well Russian history, there were no black people and still there are few. That's all I meant, you're arguing in bad faith.

Ad hominem won't cancel the fact that Asimov wasn't interested in mixed races in the Foundation, he was interested in everything else but identity politics for the influencers.

> Do you honestly believe there were states with 100% pure ethnic polities at any point in history?

You're confused.

Take China for example, there are at least 50 official ethnic groups.

But 92% of the people are Han.

It means there are 1.3 billion Han people, more than US+Europe+Russia combined.

So yes, there are large areas of China where 100% of the people are Han.

Modern Japan is 98.5% Japanese.

It's like saying it's 100% Japanese.

In the past?

Except for salves, prisoners and Ainu in Hokkaido, we can say it was 100% Japanese with a very high confidence.

For a foreigner Ainu and Japanese would also look the same.

If you were born in 1919 your World would have been the people around you, Internet did not exist, television did not exist, books were hard to find, traveling was expensive etc etc.
This depends. If you start a new project often it is much better to use a template.
If you work with JSX daily, which 99% of React developers do, this is not hard to grok. It's a very typical functional composition pattern in React. Since this framework is targeted at those who want to use React, and presumably already use it, I don't see the issue. It's a snippet to show how Reactivated lets you use the React ecosystem, not how to use React - that's what the docs are for.
Part of me is glad that the labour laws in western Europe clearly work, but it's clear that eastern Europe and the US need to adopt similar laws.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't aim to stop the use of student learning data to support student learning. I think it's about the "other stuff", like selling PII to third parties or using it for targeted advertising.
Also in the early part of the 20th century there were far few medical interventions. And today, medical debt is crippling to many families’ financial wellbeing, causing bankruptcy in many cases. In addition to removing sources of undue harm and suffering from our children, it makes sense to avoid situations where your standard of living would be jeopardized by a trip to the ER.
I had to deal with a senior dev. that gave me a talk about seniority after I ran valgrind over our software. Guy was so deep into the whole senior dev. power trip that he blamed third party libraries for his bugs, dev. tools for "incorrectly" identifying his bugs and wrote more bugs to work around his other bugs.

Finding and fixing issues in C++ code can be easy with the available tools, getting people to use them on the other hand can can be like talking to a wall.
I don't see it as that.

I see it as Google will use the same techniques they used for desktop to aggressively push Chrome regardless of technical merit - aggressive banners & popups on their own web properties, user-agent based blocking of functionality, etc.

edit: I suppose due to the nature of the app store (at present), they can't do the bundling stuff - like they used to do with Chrome-by-default when you downloaded Adobe Reader, for instance.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I address it (briefly) in a follow-up: https://www.natemeyvis.com/on-studying-for-your-upcoming-job....

People might not know what the code base is actually like; they have incentives to overstate its quality; and, even if they can point you to a relevant, authoritative book, that doesn't entail that the hour spent with it is better than an hour spent learning a tool.
Acronyms are like macros with undefined behavior during expansion, out of necessity they map as many-to-one and I've had cases where my internal expansion of what I thought was a pretty clear case ended up being the wrong one.

In our reports we use them but we make sure to define each and every one at the first use, and to add a wikipedia link or other external reference to give background, to avoid confusion and to ensure that a particular acronym isn't going to end up being re-used with a different meaning within the same document.

Public Vaults Have Arrived
From the article:

> While some psychologists — and many parents — have worried that a child who suffered a bad fall would develop a fear of heights, studies have shown the opposite pattern: A child who’s hurt in a fall before the age of 9 is less likely as a teenager to have a fear of heights.

This feels like they have the correlation/causation backwards. I suspect people who don't have so much of a built-in fear of heights are more likely to be hurt in falls from height.
> Hideous Monstrosity ... Greed

You know what's an even worse "hideous monstrosity" than Bitcoin?

The way in which a few hundred million egocentric if not sociopathic people in the global west have allowed themselves to become addicted to excessive consumption of unnecessary trash produced with dirty energy and emitting millions of tons of harmful substances, thereby wrecking the ecosphere on the whole planet.

And then one of these addicts comes along and portrays Bitcoin as if it were the worst of all evil things and "devouring the world" .. all while Bitcoin is using less than 1/700 of the world's energy consumption [1] (and some of that is renewable).

That's about as huge as one can fuck up prioritization of problems.

>Apple Is Not Defending Browser Engine Choice

There is no choice to defend in Browser Engines. Safari is as good as it gets. For tracking and Dev tools that help in implementing a timely modal pixelperfectly placed to tell me I can subscribe, Chrome takes the crown. All is good.
High integrity computing has proven record of what those practices should be.

As for the rest of your arguments, let me rephrase it,

And finally and the most important thing for me: the amount of knowledge you get from a degree is just a small, often antiquated, part of what's actually medicine in practice. As someone with an actual medicine degree, I do not think that the degree is necessary for someone to be a great doctor. Most of the important knowledge will be learned on internships and on various yearly conferences anyways.

In my opinion, making a doctor a protected title will, at best, do nothing. At worst it will put good doctors without a title out of a job, for no actual change in the quality of the treatments being applied.

Yes, ask this during a job interview and if they don't exist, seriously reconsider if you want to work there.

Don't need to go low fat OR carbs to be healthy. Restricting a whole macronutrient can help because of the effects on palatability and satiety but it's hardly required and IME is more likely to result in a worse relationship with food.

Please consider the relevant viewpoint before commenting. This is about the reliability and capabilities of Safari as a target for websites and web applications from a developer point of view, not the reliability from a user point of view (although, being a Safari user myself, I can also definitely say it's not "rock solid" in that regard either).

From a developer point of view, Safari is widely lagging behind other engines in terms of features, and has been rigged with hundreds of show stopping bugs for years, including relative to very basic features like scrolling. As an example, as of today, it is still impossible to reliably prevent page scrolling in Safari on iOS. Don't tell web developers "Safari is rock solid"; for us it's the bane of our existence.
I think one fallacy I see when people critique academia vs industry is that they take an example like Amazon from industry and show how it is better than the average output of academia.

To do a proper comparison one should compare Amazon’s products with top products from science: eg ontogenetics, CRISPR, gravitational waves, large hadron collider, and solar voltaics.

I've been thinking for a while that male people mostly did not receive attention at all from the whole body-positivity movement. Which is very relevant, because a lot of people strive for a physical condition which might simply be unachievable, or they try to reach such body shape in unhealthy ways (i've so many friends start using wey powder as a significant part of their nutrition without consulting their doctor and/or a nutritionist).

In general I think male people would generally benefit from some body positivity...
Anecdata: exercise massively reduces my otherwise constant craving for processed sugars, deep fried and smoked or cured things, alcohol and smokes.
