There is a comment from Pubpeer [0] on this research [1] if anyone is curious:

"This is not the first flight of an ion-drive aircraft. Seversky was patenting and flying ionocraft in the 1960s [2], hobbyists have been building them for decades under the name "lifter", and a self-contained device that carries its own power supply was developed by Ethan Krauss in 2006.

MIT's device may be the first ionocraft to use wings for lift, however. The previous devices behaved more like helicopters than airplanes, and did not need wings to stay aloft."

Very interesting.

In my domain of backend business rule + SQL development I think a perfect programming language would combine ideas from "Out of the tar pit" with event sourcing.

So perhaps something in sort of the same direction as Cell, but also focused on state changing (really, aggregate computation) from certain events having happened...
Appreciate the feedback. #2 is actually a pretty interesting one - while clearly a change in the API’s output, we were careful to make it so that maps without API keys actually still work (though they do get a heavy visual indication that they need to get an API key).

That being said, when we are talking about such large timeframes, is it fair to portray that as “regular” breaking changes?
can I play advocate here and say that one could interpret boycotting anything remotely connected to Russia or removal of anything confederate, cleaning up terminology like "master branches", or the hysteria calling for defunding the police as moral panic as well? not governmenral perhaps, but still moral panic.
>The reason people are mad is because the court is relitigating long settled cases which breaks the main principle of the court

A bad decision is a bad decision no matter how long it's been in effect. If anything, following "precedent" is what got us into this mess in the first place. We could have ripped the bandaid off decades ago on abortion and fixed it then. Now it's going to be much more messy.
Curious then that it took until 2008 to find an individual right to gun ownership in the constitution then, no?
A textualist reading of the First Amendment doesn't permit banning human sacrifice in religious ceremonies.

A textualist reading of the Second Amendment doesn't permit banning of personally owned nuclear arms.

Textualists don't seem too interested in overruling the relevant unconstitutional laws in these cases.

(Yes, I've read it. It's vague - deliberately, I'd argue - in spots, like in defining "general welfare", and some folks like to pretend things like the Ninth Amendment don't exist at all.)

You can live at elevation in the tropics -- that way you have mountains and cooler weather -- you don't have to be at the beach.
Let’s not. Why would we? This is a victory for the little guy.

EDIT: downvoting me isn’t going to save administrative courts and rule making.
I want them to keep going, go all the way back to the one that started it all, Wickard

Reverse Wickard, and put the Federal Government back in its narrow scope
The executive is appointed by democratically elected officials. Y'know, the same way the US president is elected by electors, or Prime Ministers are elected by parlaments. Most democracies work this way.
Probably, and probably not enough to matter.

What would really help is that the previous statement were in the form of "by policy, we never discuss the possibility of a layoff" instead of having a policy of lying while you prepare it.
You could take your crypto to a non-KYC exchange like TradeOgre or Bisq, trade it for a privacy coin like Monero/Zcash/Firo, churn the coins, then trade it back. Boom, ownership chain broken.
It’s not as if Bork was first. Haynsworth and Carswell were rejected by democrats for political reasons (leading to Blackmun being confirmed). Abe Fortas was rejected as Chief Justice by republicans.

And we can find many earlier examples as well.
Sshhhh don't say the quiet part out loud!
It's post apocalypse - you trade whatever you find. The most important commodities will be food, water, medicine. Gold would be practically worthless - it's not going to help anyone survive.
Heres an old video of one such example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GijJmIz1G7U
A microcontroller is a means to an end. When I need a CPU for an FPGA design, I will always use RISC-V because there's plenty of easy to integrate open source CPUs available. Similarly, when I need a hard microcontroller chip or board, I use whatever suits me best. And then I frankly don't care whether it's RISC-V or ARM. Why should I? I use what's available and has the right features.

There's nothing irrelevant about an RPI Pico: it has more RAM than most, it has excellent documentation and example code, it has PIOs that are incredibly versatile, it's available everywhere, and it's dirt cheap.

For quick prototyping I use MicroPython, otherwise I use C. Why should I have to learn Rust for something simple?
Show HN: Unbreach, a Haveibeenpwned for Businesses
OK let's throw snowballs at each other and see where that gets us.

We're on hacker news and hopefully we've all read the guidelines. Please respond to a charitable interpretation of the other party.

I'm still waiting you for you to address the questions presented.
It didn’t help introduce me to Linux - I used Linux for 15yrs before I heard about urbit.

I was disappointed that Linux would never be able to solve the incentive problems that lead to centralized companies handling that complexity.

Urbit’s approach actually could.

The reasons those other attempts are basically DOA outside of a tiny technical niche is they don’t go deep enough into the stack, they don’t tackle the issue with identity which is a core problem when it comes to handling spam and moderation. They don’t tackle administrative complexity and dependencies which is a core issue in making the system simple to run.

To really fix these things you have to think about why they always fail and design something to fix those incentive issues. Those problems start earlier up the stack - Linux will never be able to do it (imo) even if you tack on the identity layer.
In Mexico we call them "Mamamóvil" (Mommobile), as parody of the Batmobile.
When did "saving millions of lives" by safeguarding public health become against common sense? Genuinely would like a direct answer to that question.

Was it 1991, when common sense was redefined as "whatever the global hegemon is doing"?

Was it 2017, when Washington decided China was their ultimate adversary and can do nothing right?
Making it easier for states to ban abortion is good for individual liberty?
The hilarious thing to me is their goal was surely to be "the Uber of Crypto" given when Coinbase got started.
I presume the Neo-Confederate states of America or whatever will still be happy to do business - probably with fewer regulations even.
I think for this crowd, haveibeenpwned.com for businesses is the best way to describe Unbreach. It even uses the haveibeenpwned.com API.

In Unbreach, after you signup, you upload a CSV with all the staff at the company (it’ll have integrations in the future) and Unbreach watches them all for breaches. For the owners/managers it provides a dashboard of all the staff and all the breaches showing you which ones are outstanding and which ones are closed. Here’s an example:

https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/627d527181555e3edd9c2c5a/627...

For the staff, it provides a TODO list, where each breach is a password that needs changing. It looks something like this:

https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/627d527181555e3edd9c2c5a/627...

Unbreach supports monitoring email addresses that don’t belong to a person (info@ for example) but are supervised by a person that gets the alerts for it.

If you are familiar with haveibeenpwned this might remind you of domain monitoring. It’s similar in that Unbreach monitors many different email addresses. What Unbreach adds on top of haveibeenpwned is the todo-list aspects and the dashboard.

I built Unbreach because I found myself constantly chasing people at the companies I work for to check that they changed their password after a breach. It’s still rough around the edges. If you give it a try and get stuck or something doesn’t work, please send me a message through the bubble on the bottom right and I’ll help you.
I have learned the hard way that CEOs are some of the most dishonest people on the planet, right up there next to salespeople.
Ajit Pai got kicked out when the administration changed! Exactly how it should be!

They're not unaccountable, the president can dismiss them. Just like Trump fired Janet Yellen, and SCOTUS already ruled the structure of CFPB where removal for cause was required is unconstitutional.

The idea congress is "democratic" is a huge joke. There's a reason why the House of Lords has essentially no power any more. Let alone the literal open corruption campaign finance is.
How can you think it's not blatant politics when they lied about their opinions in congressional hearings only to overturn Roe once they had power. How can you think that is in good faith?

To argue, "oh whoops you didn't _do the work_ to obtain your RIGHTS" is also simply a distraction. The US is founded on the concept of unenumerated rights. Do not be fooled. We had those rights and now we don't thanks to this new court.
My sibling-in-christ, you are talking about an imaginary future. You cannot start to base the economy of today on your science fiction. Even if we were moving the direction of your sci-fi (and we're not, because you are even describing a PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE SCENARIO), it would be so far in the future as to be stupid to start today. You might as well start building landing pads for asteroid mined metals.

Physically impossible: yes - you've suggested using a currency made by the infinitely wasteful PoW system to finance the power used to compute something useful. You might as well try to fly by pulling on the arms of your chair.
For daily transactions at the current gold price, it would be extremely hard to do this sort of measurement that way with any precision without very specialized equipment. A gram of gold (around $60) is a reasonable daily transaction size and has a volume of 0.05ml. In order to distinguish metals of similar densities, you'd have to be able to measure just a fraction of that volume accurately. Maybe there is some clever system to scale this down, but wasn't obvious to me.
The goal of this Supreme Court seems to be the dismantling of the past century of reading the Constitution. They are pushing hard to put the onus on Congress to pass explicit amendments to protect human rights, and to be more explicit in the power they grant the Executive. And they don't seem to care about religion being defacto intertwined with public education.

The United States was "the first modern democracy". But we're running on shoddy, unpatched OS that none of the maintainers feel like fixing, and the users can't change the maintainers due to the rules.

Ideally:

The Senate would be gone.

Either gerrymandering would be dismantled, or state elections for House would be multi-member elections. The House would scale with population.

Justices of the Supreme Court would have a term limit of say, 18 years.

Constitutional amendments would not require such a supermajority of state legislatures.

The Federal government would have a standard for voting audits and take a more active role in protecting voting rights, since the ability for the Constitution to be amended depends on the integrity of state elections as well as federal elections.

Frankly, I don't see a way out of the slow death spiral this country is in without significant upheaval.
Again I call bullshit. There’s no way in a million years these same clowns would apply the same logic to gun control. This is all just motivated reasoning because the court wants to advance a conservative agenda
Oh hey, another public policy decision driven by the "informed individual choice" dogma and ignoring systemic factors.

FYI I'm old enough to have been able to actually see the explosion of supplements and the rise of the supplement industry. It's crazy how much shelf space even in a standard grocery store is taken up by everything from acai berry to zinc lozenges, of which maybe 10% have even promising evidence for being beneficial[1]. Note that Zinc is among the 10%, showing good evidence for reducing the length and severity of colds.

However, there are people making a lot of money, and the advice given in this article can't be sold in bottle.

>living in Blade Runner levels of density

It's interesting both that they do that and that we've been so conditioned to think that it's somehow a necessity. I once watched a breakdown of population and housing, and the author of the piece calculated that everyone currently living on earth could live in a one-story comfortable family house, with a yard and space for community parks and gardens, and the entire population of the planet would fit inside of Texas, with some tens of thousands of acres left over in the state. It blew my mind, and made me really ponder the nature of why we live the way we do in some cases.
An attorney friend of mine summarized it by saying that the Supreme Court said it's OK for the EPA to dictate particular emission levels for power plants but not OK to require a plant to change it's method of power generation.
Alternatively, there's always the opportunity to reappropriate Andrew Jackson for the modern era and say, "John Roberts made his decision, now let him enforce it."

Were the country so inclined.
I think that we will adapt and Congress just needs to adjust to a hostile Supreme Court and legislate more. People need to vote.
Thanks for the recommendation on ESP32-C3. I've been wanting to work with a cheap RISC-V chip. Unfortunately the lead time on mouser is 9 weeks and it only offers 22 GPIO.

In contrast the RP2040 is readily available, has 30 GPIO, and the Pico dev board is only $4. I'm not building an IoT device for my next project so I consider the die space dedicated to those features wasted.

I recognize this post is about IoT but I just wanted to say I don't think the RP2040 or Pico are irrelevant. The platform has it's benefits. In my case, relying more on the SOC and not having to increase BOM.
Agreed. Wasn't that the original intention? That it would be a living document that changes and grows as time goes on?

Sadly, it seems near impossible to get consensus to change it now.
Symbolics was a tagged arch, not OO. Ditto Burroughs. They were not OO. Dunno about dorado.
If this is a genuine criticism some people would have, what would be the suggested rewrite for a person of unknown gender?
Agree.

At almost every place I've worked there's this super pervasive "family" notion as-if they wouldn't eject you the moment it was in their best interests. I wish we could drop that pretense - it's just dishonest.
That's true, but I stand by my characterization of Urbit as a cult rather than a culture because Urbit's terminology is intentionally misleading. Urbit is deliberately obfuscated down to its very core. And the reason for this is that it is designed to produce an in-group that is separated from the out-group.

The founder of Urbit, Curtus Yarvin, is an extreme hard-core right-wing liberatarian. Go read up about him:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

I'm not even sure that Curtis would object to my characterization of Urbit as a cult. He and I are not exactly on speaking terms any more, as you might imagine, but he is just enough of an iconoclast that he might actually agree with me on this.
At least in the U.S selling financial products like stocks, ETFs are regulated. Bank products like savings accounts are FDIC insured.

Crypto products are not regulated.

Crypto products are new, sophisticated and poorly understood by the average people and can hence be manipulated easily.

That's the main difference between traditional financial products and crypto.
Anecdotal from knowing a lot of fellow entrepreneurs in the space that pivoted into things like hazardous environment training, etc don't have any hard supporting evidence sorry. Specifically most of these companies were originally trying to do games and/or consumer AR/VR apps but were forced to pivot due to lack of traction.
It's called the filibuster.
Why, then, has no previous SC viewed its role in this way?

Courts have historically always considered the intent of law (constitution) in addition to the word of law (constitution). Why isn't this one?

It feels like this SC intends to use pedantry to hobble the federal government. But... why? Because they can?
As another poster mentioned, some have done just that - added "filler" to a game to inflate it over the 2 hour bar, which is disappointing.

There should be some sliding scale where you can make a great 2 hour or less game without the risk of infinite refunding (perhaps the game could be marked with a "half-way" point, etc, though that would involve the shop actually playing it).
I intentionally left they up to interpretation here because I think the same logic applies to anyone who is potentially being forced from their home. This could apply to California w.r.t firearms, or perhaps San Francisco and their lethargic response to a public health crises, or perhaps Ohio where I live where Christian Communists are attempting to subvert the United States and the Constitution.

I've actually always felt this way about immigration and refugees as well. I certainly understand taking people in (from wherever, to wherever), but the big problem with that is once all the good people leave an area you have nothing but the bad people. It's sort of fragile on a global scale. What's the end goal? All "good" people go to a select few countries and then the rest of the world is run by bad people?

> And are you being a little hyperbolic (nothing wrong with that, we all do it especially when impassioned) or do you really think the supreme court (or whoever "they" is) are trying to cause an exodus of people they disagree with?

I don't think there's an active campaign just yet, but I do think that state legislatures are happy when this filtering process happens because it solidifies power. So far they have not undertaken active, visible campaigns, but I believe that it's coming and will come more aggressively from Christian Communists that have taken power in state legislatures. It's not something that Democratic Party leaders will say out loud but of course they're happy when so-called Republicans leave their jurisdiction as well.

> I'm not challenging/disagreeing with you

Please do! We can't get better if we don't explore and have discussions.
Ahhh gotcha. Subtle but important difference. I think that I agree then.
The political will is fairly easy in terms of broad democratic support, but following the rules as they're currently set out, which gives small groups outsized power makes it hard.

I'm not sure confusing those two things is helpful though.
The Supreme Court does not create laws. Congress does. The Supreme Court interprets those laws, making sure they do not violate the Constitution.

The Supreme Court is like a compiler simply running the instructions it's been told. It doesn't have any input over what's written.

Historically, people have used the Supreme Court to create laws, circumventing the voting process and giving 9 people oligarch-like power. This is not ideal.

There's also the general expectation the Supreme Court should do what's "right" which again, isn't a relevant metric for judging whether something is constitutional. The Supreme Court at its best is an amoral, apolitical institution.

RBG argued that RvW was decided poorly but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a constitutional right to abortion. There are other sources that could be used for the right than SDP.
> Avoiding chaos is not a valid reason for allowing a legal injustice to persist even one day longer.

Wow, people are sure selective about which injustices they cannot tolerate "even one day longer".

> I support legal mandates to reduce emissions

Bullshit. You are doing the opposite and know perfectly well what's going to happen.
> Problem: art receives value wrt the artwork, not the canvas, so the screenshot-meme wins.

This assumes that an original painting and a perfect replica of it have equal value. That might be the case if you don't know which is the original, but in the case of the Mona Lisa - and in the case of the NFT - you almost certainly can figure that out.
As an European, please don't put me in a basket with the USA. Thanks.
For many Americans the enemy IS Americans. It's worth getting bruised up as long as the other guy is hurt more.
Bastards. This will neuter the US administration's ability to form international treaties and create pressure abroad, in addition to domestically. An environment increasingly unable to support life itself, but let's all take comfort knowing that this may lead to 4% of the planet having more deliberately worded laws.

As Chomsky said, the US Republican party is the most dangerous organisation in history. Congress has been captured and they won't undo this.

This might become one the most significant stories we'll read in our lifetimes.
I'm not sure you understand how much baked-in catastrophe we already have in store for us. Even with 0 new emissions starting tomorrow, we will still need to address the changes that are coming our way over the next decades...

Unfortunately we past the point of just needing to address the causes. This patient is in the hospital and needs all the medical intervention we can provide.
IMO it’s important to distinguish between projects that are following a well beaten path just to follow it (I.e. writing a toy lisp), and projects that are intentionally trailblazing. If you want to find innovation you want to follow the later projects rather than the former.
For more information on the topic, you can look towards previous decisions creating the modern statutory interpretations (that have been pretty much declining in favor since their inception)

The two main cases that framed how much (or little) _deference_ the courts should lend in matters of dispute broadly derive from Chevron v NRDC[1] and Auer v Robbins[2]

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_U.S.A.,_Inc._v._Natura....

[2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auer_v._Robbins
Ok yeah I missed that one. That obviously happens more often than both of these actually.
Yeah, RBG really fucked the Dems by not retiring with Obama in office.
The Constitution says "for life". Fixing that will require an amendment.
It's interesting how this court consistently rules to limit the power of government when it is acting against corporations but happily expands the power of government when it is being wielded against people.
> A bad decision is a bad decision no matter how long it's been in effect. If anything, following "precedent" is what got us into this mess in the first place. We could have ripped the bandaid off decades ago on abortion and fixed it then. Now it's going to be much more messy.

IMHO, what actually got us in this mess was the Supreme Court putting itself into a situation where it's regularly making momentous political decisions, rather that resolving finer points of law, resolving little corner cases, etc. It might be expedient to use its power to set social and economic policy, but that doesn't mean it's right.
Isn't it basically the same situation from a signal processing point of view? i.e. the SNR is bad but you can localize and pull out signal.
Is Congress not capable of listening to those experts and then publicly debating which of their suggestions to implement?
