The OP makes a very valid point with satire which, in this case, is relevant.

Proof of work blockchain is horribly energy-inefficient. It's hard to justify it - on a number of grounds - as a solution for a large majority of legitimate use cases.
Reinventing existing trust mechanisms but with an extra (computationally expensive) layer of things that can go wrong is the opposite of an improvement.

Red Hat has no official affiliation with Canonical who make Ubuntu.

If you want to test podman you 'll have better luck using an OS from the Fedora ecosystem where Red Hat has affiliations and is actively contributing.

Since you mentioned Windows I 'd suggest trying something like this [1] or this [2]

AFAIK Kindle shows you ads and can occasionally delete a book from your library. Isn't it so?
Some of the delays are effectively by law, so what you're really saying is "without any laws I may be breaking inserting their opinion, and any pesky police causing surprising delays".

Reminds me of how GWB said that it would be much easier to be president if he were a dictator.

Yeah, I bet! But despite that it's a terrible idea.

Banks don't cause delays because they want to. And it's not a technical problem. Worth repeating: Delays in bank transfers is NOT a technical problem.

All these cryptocurrency "solutions" are trying to tear down a fence they have no idea why it's there. Turns out it was put up over centuries to solve actual societal problems.

People should work on improving the fence instead of thinking it should be torn down to be replaced by nothing.

Walmart is one of the world's most sophisticated supply chain management companies. They use a private blockchain network to automatically reconcile invoices and payments. There are entire companies that make REALLY good money today that basically reconcile invoices for trucking fleets. Their blockchain technology does all that work for free, and as a result, they spend far less human hours chasing down data to ensure that the invoices are correct. It creates the paper trail for you automatically.
This is great news! MOBI and especially KF8 (Amazon flavour of XHTML on MOBI) are horribly complex by virtue of them being additional layers over the PalmDB format, which on it's own is actually quite elegant.

I've spent quite some time on building a fully featured MOBI library[1]. A bit sad that my work will become obsolete this quickly, but definitely good in the long run.

I agree especially with this, but with the rest of your comment as well. Culture, politics, economy go hand-in-hand, with no clean initiator among them. I currently think that everyone should try their best, and that those with more influence have more responsibility as well.

No two sets of eyes (which includes retinas plus all the processing that converts the input into internal scene representation) are the same.

This is especially frustrating with photography. No two people see a single scene the same way; the best you can do is take raw data and interpret it into the tiny, tiny display space the way you think best describes the scene. Yet do many think that the blandest possible JPEG render is the reference truth of what reality is actually like.
Yeah, the rebuttal to "you never admit that you are wrong" is "here's a bunch of situations where I admitted I was wrong", not "I actually was just never wrong in the first place".
If persisted GraphQL queries are safest and likely more performant, then persisted SQL would have the same benefits. Not that I'm advocating for that, but there's not much difference once you've accounted for all factors.

I think already on your first point you would struggle to find much backing in the US if it includes US citizens being allowed to donate to a country actively at war with the US.

If that is the society you want to have, I think you'll face an uphill battle. If you want no or very little policing of money, need to make probably some proposal to prevent certain things in other ways.
Ask HN: Do you think Elon's Twitter is better in any way?
I don't really notice much of a difference to be honest.
Exactly. I do want AI to scale with me, but by me selecting better AI when I get better. That's how I measure my progress: by having to select better AI. That makes my progress transparent.

And by having different AI at different difficulty levels, I think you actually can have AI that suits everyone. But I don't think most game companies like developing several separate versions of AI. They just want one that's superficially "good enough".
I wonder if there is more of this effect on a hard floor though?

> working in email marketing for 5 years, I couldn't agree more. I'm quite surprised with the amount of negative comments.

Because you're working in marketing, and you literally don't care about people. People to you are just money making machines that you need to squeeze to get that sweet ROI, OKRs, hockey stick graphs on "user aquisitions", increased ARPU and other crap.

I've yet to remember a single marketing crap in my inbox I didn't delete immediately upon receiving.
The idea these firms hire people just to stop them going to competitors is popular on HN but I never saw any evidence of it when I was there.

Trophy hires? Sure, occasionally, but they were all doing stuff for the company. And the idea there was some sort of policy is wrong. It may look like that from the outside though, because there was never a strong connection between hiring and need.
Sure it is, unless they have passed laws against emigration, like North Korea. (Of course, those laws would rightly be seen as totalitarian.)
I mean I understand and welcome you enthusiasm about science and research papers, unfortunately it's largely misguided in my opinion.

Even in actual scientific fields like computer science (In particular machine learning and reinforcement learning academic environement in which I work and hold a PhD) 'doubting' is necessary, since a large percentage of papers are unreproducible and largely biaised for publication... [0]

Regarding social sciences papers, I give 0 credit to any of them and that won't change soon.

First it's literally impossible define rigorously any term to differentiate (I mean seriously how are you going to "measure" emotional intelligence or entrepreneurship skills). Secondly there a large fraction of the field which is just pretending to do science and circlejkerking each other by accepting their own papers without rigorous due diligence, to the point they can't even detect hoax and fraud [1]

At the end of the day I am not here to fight you. If you don't believe me then be it but I stand by my assessment that various kind of intelligence are at best losely related. Some math genius are 100% clueless in emotional or business intelligence, some genius entrepreneurs are 100% clueless with math or girls, some really good artists completely clueless in business or academic stuff. Some athletes too... Of course some will have all but imo it's a lucky minority.

Kindle unlimited - great for pulpy sci-fi books. Some people hate it, but I enjoy it and it's a killer feature for me.
I used to use the paraffin wax method, but I added micronized graphite rather than PTFE. It works well, but does make the wax look dirty. Nowadays, I find it too much faff to bother with the hot wax soaking and I just use commercial wax/dry lubes as I was ending up "topping up" the soaked wax chain with that anyway. I found that wax needed re-applying every 100-150km.
Yes, you right of course. My mistake.

Original research article: Leisure Activities and the Risk of Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/08/10/WNL.0000000...

> This study aimed to assess the effects of different types of leisure activities, including cognitive, physical, and social activities, on the incidence of all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VD) [...] A total of 38 longitudinal studies, with 2154818 participants at baseline, 74700 ACD cases, 2848 AD cases, and 1423 VD cases during follow-up, were included in the meta-analysis. The subgroup analyses showed that physical (RR = 0.83, 95% CI: [0.78-0.88]), cognitive (RR = 0.77 [0.68-0.87]), and social (RR = 0.93 [0.87-0.99]) activities were inversely associated with incidence of ACD. In addition, physical (RR = 0.87 [0.78-0.96]) and cognitive (RR = 0.66 [0.52-0.85]) activities were related with a reduced risk of AD. Physical activity (RR = 0.67 [0.53-0.85]) was associated with a lower incidence of VD

A similar article, still on Neurology.org, published in July, Physical and Mental Activity, Disease Susceptibility, and Risk of Dementia // A Prospective Cohort Study Based on UK Biobank ( https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/07/26/WNL.0000000... ), returned similar results:

> The pattern analyses revealed that higher level of adherence to activity patterns related to frequent vigorous and other exercises (hazard ratio [HR]=0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59-0.71), housework-related activity (0.79, 0.72-0.85) and friend/family visit (0.85, 0.75-0.96) were associated with a lower risk of dementia

The Kindle I got last year is one of the best purchases I've ever made, I can't believe I went all that time without an ereader.

Having to convert epubs to azw3 is the only minor inconvenience.
I'm sure you're aware of this, but 99% of standups are not this way. Given that, it's safe to assume that wherever you are, they don't need to exist. The odds are quite simply much better.
It sounds interesting but I cannot connect the dots.

So, the Google-authored apps' use can become illegal in future on a specific ("bigger") fork of Android you say? But that's just the license terms of Google apps. I don't understand what would a manufacturer be afraid of, exactly? (Does Kindle need any Google apps?...)

I have to trust that Apple know what they're doing...

Very bold societal proposal to abandon the rule of law (in parts), but it is an intriguing way to consider certain things - is there data on how stuff like that (i.e. consensus forming in good ways) performs through big changes in societies?
I’m not saying that the author is imposing on people’s rights.

I’m just saying that free users and frankly non-users have such a right, and are acting in accordance with what they are fully entitled to do.

The act of complaining has nothing to do with payment. It’s you see something you disagree with, you can complain about it. Whether the target has a preexisting contract with you is irrelevant.
Stuff like GitLab's or Docker's situation wouldn't happen if everyone self-hosted their own instances. This is yet another reason why centralization fails at scale: eventually some companies realize that they're giving free resources away to their users.

Ubuntu has nothing to do with Podman / Redhat. Ubuntu also has a terrible track record of not aligning where it makes sense with other distorts and not properly testing packages - it's just a bit of a flaky distro in general.
> it’s exceptionally useful that a stolen, infringing, or fraudulent domain can be recovered through the legal system.

Useful for who? It is often useful for large companies with powerful legal teams who will try to exert control over domain name registrars as they see fit.[1]

The nice thing with the blockchain is that you have the choice. If you want your asset to be recoverable through the legal system and courtroom decisions, it can be put into a centralized custodian. If you want to maintain complete ownership of that asset even though you risk not being able to recover it if somebody steals it from you, you might like to hold it non-custodially.

It is very possible that laws end up being defined around ownership of blockchain assets to give them a stronger degree of legal and intellectual property.

Because its so much better than what we have, people who care about the real life outcome, not the academic arguments, realise that any of the sensible choices would be better and so other factors, like name recognition or existing usage, dominate over any minor further improvements.

Hearing it this way reminds me of parallels to the real world.

Each modern military war is also an economic war between the belligerents economies to sustain the fighting.

So in a way spending 10$ to shoot a missile and going on "war economy" (aka reducing other activities in your life to fund the game) to keep the war going is quite realistic.

Also that some of your opponents will simply outspend you without breaking a sweat is accurate (see the US support of Ukraine as an example)

I turned off WiFi on mine because I was too annoyed by ads.
It shows ads if you buy the cheaper ad supported version. (They even removed the ads for me because Amazon did not sell books in my country)
If you buy a kindle that is specifically advertised as having ads(and therefore being sold for less money), then yes, you will get ads. If you don't want them, buy the ad free version.

And the deletion from your library happened...once? Over millions of titles available?
The first point is alluding to Russian-born Vitalik donating to Ukraine anonymously through TC[1].

Frigates are much, much bigger than litoral ships.
Apple bought FCP from MacroMedia, and its internal design was a mess. You can see amateurish data-structure blunders if you look at FCP XML files.

The UI also suffered from the asinine floating-window fad that afflicted the Mac for much of its existence, being a glued-together mass of individual windows that prevented you from minimizing, resizing, or moving the FCP UI.

That was far from the only UI gaffe. Remember when footage would go missing, and you were presented with "Find" and "Locate" buttons right next to each other? WTF.

But... you could get work done with FCP 7. No doubt about it.

Apple cleaned up the floating-window mess with FCP X. But it failed to fix fundamental mistakes from the earlier version. Most crippling is its continued failure to distinguish between clips (media files, which reside in bins) and timeline events (sections of the clips that are used in the timeline).

An event should always point to a clip. That makes it easy to (for example) apply an effect to all the uses of a shot, or to just one instance of it in the timeline. If you want to apply an effect to all uses of a shot, you apply the effect to the clip. Otherwise, you apply it to one or more tineline events. Easy, right? But you still can't do that in FCP X.

To make matters worse, Apple misuses the term "event" to mean... I don't even know. Some kind of dumb iPhoto-like auto-organized group of media by date, I think. That's ignorant of industry standards and definitely not professional.

Also unprofessional is FCP's overly "helpful" timeline. It's a chore to edit your footage with frame-level precision, which should NEVER be a problem today.

And I have no idea why you couldn't open old FCP projects in X. Plenty of other vendors (and even other groups at Apple) wrote parsers to ingest that poorly-conceived XML schema and turn it into something useful.

What I see, is Khronos kind of repeating the same errors from design by comittee API as OpenGL falled into, with extension spaghetti, make your own adventure SDK style, and thankfully they got Mantle as starting point, otherwise probably they would still be arguing how the API should look like.

The make your own adventure SDK isn't as bad as on OpenGL heyday, because at least this time we have LunarG on board, trying to make it less painful.

Still it isn't the same as having Metal Kit, DirectXTK, PhyreEngine,... in the box with "File new template" for newcomers.

have been using microG (as LOS for microG) up until about two years ago. but it seemed less and less actively developed, so I switchted to vanilla LOS. No GApps. Everything I need works (even stuff like Signal or Google Maps). Only type of apps that don't work are some actively and unnecessarily screening for Google Services or stuff like Uber which uses an integrated map.

> LineageOS for microG may be a better choice on that device

LOS for microG always seemed a bit fishy - the way the project is run and executed. Seemed less transparent than vanilla LOS. microG's release schedule is a bit gappy for my taste. sometimes no updates or fixes for several months :/

The versioning of /e/ seems to be about as confusing as the project name itself but as far as I can tell from that table there is no device with a version beyond R. so, I'd assume they just need some more time to release it?
