In Bitcoin transactions are not just "from", "to" and "amount" even if some wallets abstract them in that way.

In the simplest case there are coins that get marked as being spendable by some public key (address). That's the analogy with the password to a bank account was refering to. As long as you don't make use of that privilege then you can't be reasonably criminally convicted. That doesn't mean law enforcement wont come and ask questions.

In Ethereum it is more like you said where a certain amount is actually credited to an address and at that point cannot be distinguished from other funds in that address.

I agree both systems have enough information to handle the situation but again (I start to feel like a broken record) - there is a clear difference between them in that one needs active work to distance yourself from the funds while the other just requires not touching the tainted coins. You could also in Bitcoin go the extra step and actively burn those coins. Ideally the sanctioning body would provide an address of theirs where tainted coins can be sent and the sender then reimbursed for the fees or even awarded a small amount.

Hopefully a judge would see when someone innocent received tainted funds but it would be a tad more difficult on Ethereum than on Bitcoin.
On iOS this is traditionally done with UIWebView or WKWebView(like the former but better performance, runs as separate process) and you are right about the problems it creates.

However, the developers do have options to incorporate SFSafariViewController since iOS9.0 and that gives the user full Safari experience with Autofill and everything and without giving access to its contents to the app developer.

It actually makes a lot of sense from users perspective when the context is that the app temporary needs to take you to a webpage for something with the intention of you going back to the app. With SFSafariViewController this is done securely and with good user experience but unfortunately most apps business model revolves around tracking everything you do and as a result, most developers would use UIWebView/WKWebView instead of SFSafariViewController just to be able to track you.

The UIWebView/WKWebView has legitimate uses like letting you sign in from a web interface and transfer the session into the app but I kind of feel like we would be better off to depreciate it in favour of using alternative methods to do the web/app connection and improve privacy significantly.

Personally, I would never do anything sensitive from within a browser that is in an app. It looks like very obvious attack vector to me.
Wikidata is already providing a nearly globally accepted store of concept IDs. Wikipedia adds a lot of depth to this knowledge graph too.

Schema.org has become very popular and Google is backing this project. Wordpress and others are already using it.

Governments are requiring not just "open data", but also "open linked-data" (which can then be ingested into a SPARQL engine), because they want this data to be usable across organizations.

The financial industry are moving to the FIBO ontology, and on and on...
Instead he added 10 times the amount of 1x engineers.
> Well, Google's and Facebooks definition of 'the best' engineers. don't think grinding leetcode for an interview is the best indicator of a good engineer

Their employees are also the subset of those who can get to a location where they have offices and have the relevant work permits. Those who do not object to and specifically want to work at those companies. Those who find their technical challenges of interest. Those who do not already have a satisfactory job elsewhere and are actually in the market for a job.
Yes, but people love that, otherwise e.g. freemium and ad-driven games would not exist.

Consumers have a payment-avoiding behaviour as a status quo.
I have personally no problems with epicycles. Those were effectively the Fourier decompositions of the elliptical orbits while viewed from the Earth. At some point we found a simpler and a more predictive theory and that naturally produces the right shapes (kepler laws + classical gravitational dynamics) and we choose that instead.

I think many people would be happy (myself included) if there is theory that wouldn't require dark matter and dark energy. But at the moment there is none and to me (and many astrophysicsts) the universe with dark matter is the best description we've found so far of what we observe.
Show me the studies on the effectiveness of a daily 10 min standup and I’d be happy to listen. Otherwise I’d be happy to make up some other rituals that sound good on paper and then rationalize them with buzzwords.
I'm not the author of the parent comment, but I think you may be taking the message too far.

>"Short of saving their lives from imminent physical danger, at some point, one must leave others "to their fate.""

I think it's good to help people who are going through challenging periods in their lives. The key to limiting one's efforts is that the problems need to be temporary ones, and the 'assistant' should take on a supporting role, not a leading one.
Yes, but a big binary means 1MB. Nowadays a Helloworld webapp needs more.
It is still possible that nothing exists. For example, if physics rules are an algebra where you start with nothingness, and nothingness is then combined with nothingness in various ways. Then, from the inside it appears as if things exist, but from the outside it seems that nothing exists. Somewhat similar to a computer game which may look like an entire world from the inside, but you see only a bunch of computer chips from the outside.
A haircut (10-20%?) would be good for all involved. There are great employees and there are slackers in all fields.
I suppose it's only a spreadsheet in a very broad sense: a set of formula which refer to each other, and which are updated automatically on any change.

You can't have circular references to the top level, but you can do recursive definitions within a cell, which is maybe spreadsheety too.

You can use scraps of code to set the GUI behaviour, which is a bit crazy. Try making a region on an image (open an image view window, hold down CTRL, drag down and right).

Back in the main window, press the down button to the left of to the label of the cell containing the region and you'll find you can open it up. Keep clicking and a lot of rows will appear -- including left, top, width, height, etc. If you drag the region around and resize it, you'll see all these numbers update.

Click on the number for height and you can edit it. Enter "width * 2"
and try resizing the region.
That's a great reason why Meta employees who are content with making, oh, a nice $200k a year are in a position of wonderful power.

Even if Zuck personally fires you, you can go get a job elsewhere in a week, making a comparable amount of money. And you don't need demean yourself for some billionare who wants you to dance because he says so.
To generate value for the shareholders, silly.
Right, but that's OPs point. If he does what you say, he's no better than Comcast, ignoring customers and telling them to screw themselves at the first sign of trouble.
Now they notice:0 Weren't they they ones responsible for hiring all those employees? It never ceases to amaze how productivity is mis-measured. When the company is making money hand over fist there are never enough people. When the macro economy changes somehow there are way too many employees. I guess it all sounds better than just saying we never really cared about you as people. Employees are a means to and ends. The ends are changing so must the means:)
Rigid is a Chinesium company. Surprised by your finding, but I guess it makes sense.
That's not the thesis of end of history, you are repeating bad headlines as a quick take.
Curious how a string drive would perform on a mountain bike especially considering climbing advantages and easier shifting?
Certainly. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkscriptmes...
> We provide service using eSIMs (so you need an eSIM capable Android for this part). So we don't learn which eSIM your phone gets each time (your IMSI now changes periodically), we authenticate you with a cryptographic protocol (Chaum's blind signatures) that proves you should get a new eSIM but doesn't reveal your identity.

The eSIM provisioning protocol (which you cannot change; it's hardware/firmware) sends you (the provisioning provider) the eSIM's permanent ID (the EID) once it has negotiated an encrypted channel with you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESIM#Usage

You should post technical details on what you're doing with the eSIMs. Everything I've read about them indicates that what you're claiming isn't possible. It's a system designed by the carriers, with typical carrier priorities embedded in it.
Interprocess cache invalidation is one of the bigger devils in the details. It’s one part of the memory corruption crisis that the Java Memory Model tries to solve and then a number of other languages copied.

There are concurrency libraries that allocate 8x as much memory as they need just to guarantee that two threads don’t share a cache line.
Huh. Interesting, very interesting. Usually links to bikes here are just nonsensical overcomplicated bullshit IMHO, but this is close to the simplicity of the $300 bike I’m constantly riding around town.

I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with the pull-back motion of the strings. Is there a spring in the hub? Are they stretchy cords that are going to snap someday? How easy are they for a passing asshole having a bad day to cut?
A reasonable test of 'productivity': if you fire large swaths of employees and 'productivity' remains the same, was it a failure of management, or of the employees?

I'm just kidding. Measuring employee 'productivity' is one of the biggest hand-waving magical misdirection performances in business. The mistake is employees think it means 'working hard' or 'smart', or whatever. The truth is it doesn't really mean anything, but too many people are heavily invested in it being a thing.
The OP said, "we had tables for each thing (users, companies, etc) and a “relationship” table that described each relationship between things". I took that to mean that there was only one relationship table.
Less than 12 months from incorporating a company to go live, about 6 months of that was road works.

Low hundreds of homes (so low probability that you know anyone there, and if you do they have already heard about it).

Thank you!! I was unsuccessfully searching for something like this.
Btw I also see a full screen, not closable login nag when scrolling down a few tweets. The solutions is to tap on login and close the dialog on the following screen.
I won‘t make an account, twitter. Shut me out completely and I‘ll be gone, just like with reddit.
You can definitely find two fairly priced frames, where the better/pricier one is made of aluminium and the cheaper one is carbon. It helps carbon fiber prices have gone down substantially in the last decade.

Still, it is a bit odd...
Hmmm... I wonder what went wrong that the author ended up with a shell without line editing and without a properly defined path. I'm sure the article would've been much different were it not for whatever caused that.
"The point here is that in semantic web there're supposed to be lots and lots of different ontologies/schemas by design, often describing the same data."

Then that is just another reason it will fail. We already have islands of data. The problem with those islands of data is not that we don't have a unified expression of the data, the problem is the meaning is isolated. The lack of a single input format is little more than annoyance and the sort of thing that tends to resolve itself over time even without a centralized consortium, because that's the easy part.

Without agreement, there is no there there, and none of the promised virtues can manifest. If what you say is the semantic web is the semantic web (which certainly doesn't match what everyone else says it is), then it is failing because it doesn't solve the right problem, though that isn't surprising because it's not solvable.

If what you describe is the semantic web, the Semantic Web is "JSON", and as solved as it ever will be.

A "knowing wizard correcting the foolish mortals" pose would be a lot more plausible if the "semantic web" had more to show for its decades, actual accomplishments even remotely in line with the promises constantly being made.
If you like questions like this, you'll probably enjoy the Closer to Truth series. All of its episodes since 1999 are on YouTube.

With regards to "why something rather than nothing", here's an article on the "levels of nothing". Even if there were to be no universe, no laws, etc ... could mathematics still exist?

Oh, wow... I followed the link to the other article where they describe how they came up with such a figure:

> “For instance, the T. rex population was likely about 20,000 at any one time, but the 95% confidence range — the range of numbers in which there's a 95% chance the true number falls — is 1,300 to 328,000. In other words, when the T. rex total is calculated (which includes population density, population size at any one time, generation time and total number of generations), the number of T. rex individuals that ever lived could be anywhere from 140 million to 42 billion, the researchers said.”

Who would be motivated to work hard for Zuckerberg? He seems like a total jerk who has only made society worse. I'd do the bare minimum for him.
It can only work between pairs of particles that are bound together. Otherwise, the total forces between every pair of quarks (N^2 pairs) in the universe would be preposterously large.
Well... conservation of energy is just a law within our universe. Everything in here is energy, e=mc^2 and all that.

But the creation of our universe definitely involved some process that dumped a shit ton of energy into a very small space about 14 billion years ago.
Why does something exist? There is an easy answer: Because it can.

Similar to the many world interpretation of quantum mechanics. All possibilities exist. Both a something and a nothing.
So you work for Baskin Robbins :-)

Same, I bought a house recently and wanted to get the walls painted white. Turns out there are hundreds of different whites that are ever so slightly different from one another, various sheens that determine how reflective and glossy the paint is, various levels of durability, various schools of thought on what color goes where (i.e. one theory is glossy plain white on trim and doors, beige ish off white on walls, flat white on ceiling).

I ended up getting everything in a single shade of white, just varying levels of glossy depending on if it’s trim or ceiling. And I am not really that happy with the outcome to be honest.
Agree to disagree.

A team standup has close to no value.

Having a high quality of life has a lot of value (including increased work productivity).

As the California Milk Campaign went - happy cows make quality cheese, and happy workers make quality work...

Again - one can be moved, the other cannot.
Of all the types of meetings that could be emails, stand-ups are at the very bottom of the list. A well run, efficient stand-up can head off a day's worth of productivity sucking emails and Slack messages with a 10 min conversation.
Would it? I understand your point, but the counterpoint is that the leaders are in a position to make big changes if something is broken. They could attempt to push some simple change and see glaring process and onboarding problems, which nobody has been interested in prioritizing, and then make them top priority, saving everyone time.
> Maybe we should do the Civil War again

There's a fair argument that it never ended; the South was defeated, but never gave in. Or at least, part of the South didn't. Come on, isn't that the meaning of the Confederate flag? Doesn't it mean "Fuck you, Union"?

/me a brit, I don't have a dog in this race. I'd just feel massively more comfortable if the most powerful country in the world knew who it was, what it's policies are, and who it's friends are. If they can't figure that out, and have to break up, that's miles better than the USA being balanced 49% to 51% on every policy and every federal court judgement.

I'd prefer it if the USA split, rather than having a schizophrenic USA, with the biggest army in the world, that can't agree who it is, what it's economic policy is, or what it's foreign policy is. Schizo USA is screwing everyone else up.
If this brings the "diminishing returns" study to mind for anyone, PSA:

A more recent study was done on the "ideal salary point" and concluded that there really isn't one: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2016976118
So the heart is the double standards. I think that's very fair.
"Kill All Men" is something you see pretty often on twitter, but "Kill All Women" would be hateful.
I'm a woman, and yea I'm not a fan of "kill all women", but I also have a son and husband. I don't want "Kill All Men" to be something normalized.

I think that should be considered Hate speech too.
If the standards weren't so obviously double or triple, I think people would have far less of a problem with it.
What's your point? No one forced Iran to ratify the NPT. They did so voluntarily, and thus agreed to give up development of nuclear weapons. Whether it's fair or right in your opinion is utterly irrelevant.

There is no question that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. They have literally given weapons and funding to terrorist groups which killed Americans and our allies. If Iran (or other countries) want to also designate the USA as a state sponsor of terrorism under their national laws and impose economic sanctions on us then they're free to do so.
Because even the concept of nothing is something.
You imagine 2 arbitrary labels are actors over time. This is just narrative.
Ask HN: For a startup website to show customer logos, do you need permission?
Many startup websites list company logos on their website as a form of social proof. I'm wondering if these startups took the company's permission before displaying their logo.
If you insist on running Meta's spyware on your devices you can also use a service like nextDNS to block trackers at the device DNS level: https://apple.nextdns.io
I used to do that, trying to load anything reasonable on a bike makes it handle like serious crap. It jackknifes and good brakes become very important.

A trailer would probably be a lot better.
In this specific case there is an easy answer (mentioned in the article): Access to reasonably priced broadband internet was seen as one of the biggest, most easily addressable (with targeted government infrastructure funding) dividing lines between people that were able to easily work from home and those that experienced larger hardships during the height of the pandemic.
You say this like it's a solved issue, but you're still debating with yourself in the footnotes.
surprised this is at the top of HN. isn’t it obvious that every app does this? tiktok, snapchat, even linkedin all open links in their built-in browser and can track what you’re doing. click open in safari if you’re doing anything more than visiting a single page.
A lot of professional software has a hard plateau. One problem is that FCP 7 stopped working with macOS High Sierra.

Even if the software plateaus, they need to keep up with the incremental changes around them; newer codecs, integrations (software and hardware), and other tools.
Deleting a production DB is not the only way to mess up your data.

Smart people design systems that alert them when they're about to commit an error because they have 500 other priorities on their mind.
>What makes you happy is try to have and keep peace with everyone and do good things, make presents to others, give and don't expect to get something back

Some worse-if-wiser part of me suspects this piece of advice is given out of altruism to the community as a whole, not the person receiving it. Doing this has never made me happy. I'm more willing to do it when I'm already happy though, so maybe there's a corellation.
How is the walled garden allowing a phone to last for four years? Where you getting new phones because you polluted your non-walled garden device with so many bad apps that you chose to get a new device? Not really following your point, but maybe I am?
Personally, when I left Facebook I never looked back. My social media phase is over.

All contact with friends is now via IM apps like Whatsapp and Telegram. Yes I know the former is owned by Facebook but it's not Social Media really.

Most of my friends aren't on any social media anymore with the exception of LinkedIn which is kinda necessary for work. But I don't really use it like social media. I never post or read on it, just use it to look and apply for jobs.

Before I left Facebook I thought I still needed social media and I backed OpenBook. But that was a mistake. They changed their name twice to ever dumber and forgettable names and have since shut down their service for over a year because they're working on something new, which they refuse to say anything about.. I consider it a scam now.

The fediverse is more interesting but really I realized I don't need it anymore.
Does somebody now what the author is up to now. I have been waiting for a new article for over a year
Would be interesting to see engagement/people who like the current Twitter content assessed against customers/people with customer potential.
Sorry, but you're just wrong. You can't look at a disease outbreak and explain the transmission among the population with a miasma-based statistical model. In other words, it doesn't fit the data.

And dark matter is not accepted without proof. It fits the data extremely well. That is the proof. It explains many unrelated phenomena and isn't ruled out by anything; just like gravity. The fact that we can explain why things fall down, why the moon orbits around the earth, why the earth orbits around the sun, why stars form, why planets form and a whole bunch of other phenomena with one force is the proof; we haven't seen a gravity particle, but that doesn't matter, because that's not how proof works in science.

It's not about thinking it's cool and hoping it's real either. It's simply the only explanation we have for a whole bunch of stuff, and it's a damn good explanation that's extremely simple.

That's not to say it's necessarily correct. It's just the only explanation we have, and we have no reason to believe it not to be correct.
Why would it be fantasy ?
Most American states are bigger that most European countries !
They absolutely have the resources to do it if they willed it.
