> The first part sounds a bit British nationalistic "parliament cannot be bound", and could indeed make laws about the minimum amount of snow that must fall in the Sahara desert.

I read it slightly differently, they're saying a law could apply to a British subject overseas. For example as a British citizen you can be prosecuted in the UK for abusing a minor in any country - the jurisdiction is over you as a British citizen. However this isn't the case with isn't a feature of the The Firearm Act of 1937 which I guess only applies on British land and ships.

I take that to mean that the judge didn't feel that Sealand counted as British land or a British Shop and that the law didn't apply to British subjects overseas so in this case the crime was outside the scope of the law.

> Basic hygiene really helps.

I know this is might be a poor example but there are old anime series from 80s, early 90s where characters that get sick wear simple masks to protect others from spreading whatever they caught.

That's animated cartoon while in reality, whole pandemic I was observing the comments around the global and "local" Internet (as well real life convos) where people called the necessity of wearing masks as restriction of civil freedoms, and masks as "muzzles".

My sister was even harassed walking by street by some random guy who stopped his car, rolled window and ordered her to "take off this rag from face".

From what I've heard S. Koreans still prefer to wear masks despite that these aren't enforced in public space - tho, the particular places and situations where these are needed still apply.

So I wonder, do the countries that describe themselves as Western differ that much from Asia in term of public health and responsibility towards others, and just really basic hygiene? It doesn't seem to be a brainier to protect oneself and others.
Fitting is $100-$200. Then you can expend 200-1500 in your in-ear monitors depending on what you want, and the ones that are in the $300 range are already pretty good sounding.

Of course, the same as with headphones, you can spend $5K, 6K or even 10K in some top of the line planar magnetic whatever Audeze, Stax or Hifiman, but really, you don't need them.

Think also about the economy of scale. Hearing aids are more common than hi-fi high end in-ear monitors. If any big player in the electronics field enters this game, prices (and features) could be way better than they are now.
You're going in circles. We were discussing a vaccine that was discovered with most funding coming from charities (B&M Gates foundation) or the state (NIH), and some by Pfizer. But, Pfizer gets to keep 100% of the results of this research.

Now, if by "development" you mean the cost of mass manufacturing and marketing the substance, then every company that wants to manufacture it can find their own, which will be payed for by, you know, sales.

I have been using Vivaldi for years now, on mobile (Android). Gave up after their recent update. Why? Because they changed the layout of the "reload" button. Previously, I could simply double-tap the "V" menu to reload the current tab. Now I have to either pull down (which is not always feasible) or find the "refresh" button in the far left part of the "V" menu, because double-tapping now brings the settings screen. Not sure what genius in their UX dept thought that opening the settings screen is more important than re-loading the current tab but they should change it back.

They of course will continue to eat meat, continue to own rural property, continue to drive cars and travel for leisure on jets. Their solution to all problems is to maintain their privilege while forcing the underclasses make all the sacrifices.
Yes and no. At least to validate my ideas FPGAs would not really be sufficient.

Core to my idea are three things (on the HW-level): Runtime reconfigurability, dense and fast reconfigurable on chip networking, and asynchronous clockless logic. (Besides "smart memory", but that's something we can actually have).

Nothing of that FPGAs really offer. (There is some kind of support for reconfigurability on the bigger Xilinx chips, but that does not really smell like what I'm looking for; also it's proprietary and very limited).

FPGAs can of course simulate those named things. But without exposing their advantages. Actually such a simulation would be very slow compared to when doing things "the usual way".

This is especially sad as FPGAs as such have already a lot of the other desired properties: They're reconfigurable hardware at all!

So one would need first to build some new / modified kind of "FPGA" (especially adapted to async logic and runtime reconfigurability) only to try out my ideas in a halfway realistic setting.

On the other hand, doing some ISA research and experiments doesn't need any hardware in the first place. This could be done fully in some software simulated environment. Only that this way it's impossible to know whether there would be any real merit in all this stuff. Simply, because I would expect a SW simulation to be quite inefficient and slow (even on a FPGA). So this wouldn't be anything that could convince anybody, frankly.

Well, maybe I run at some point into some crazy person that has a few dozens $ mils. spare to throw at a "high-fantasy" project like that, to validate the basic assumptions. IF it would work it could actually change for the better everything we take for granted today about how computers work. Imho it's time. The von Neumann bottleneck is killing any progress! We should get rid of it. This needs some radical¹ rethinking of our machines (and especially their software).

¹ from lat. "radix", eng. "the root"
I do as well. It has been a great place to work so far - nice colleagues and supportive management. Even the application process treated me more like an applicant than a supplicant.
I've done more morally dubious things working in adtech, and before that even in a relatively small web agency. Neither of those are vilified to the same extent by the general public though.

I think other developers need to have the humility to admit that the act of automating anything has the potential to ruin livelihoods (for better or worse).

Depends on your business, but you could probably save a lot of money with caching, which some web services offer pretty easily.
I think the problem is at different level: manufacturers do not actually care that items are retured because they profit from the replacement. This is much worse actually for well insured items like cars. Otherwise it would be easy to set up reward systems for returning lost items. If you like conspiracy theories: I would claim that airtags (e.g. installed on cars) have lead to more 'lost' value than recovered.

What's more bizarre is thinking this model can change. Despite financial incentives and many other measures short of coercion, it hasn't.
Human meaningful names aren't great. They basically require that names have a cost. Either DNS or blockchain, and either way you may have trouble on isolated networks.

I think a better solution is to just leave meaningful names to centralized DNS. It's a perfect fit. Amazon is centralized already.

Private individuals don't commonly need them. Look at phone numbers. We are fine with local assigned names for the most part.

What we need is a way to create a URL that embeds its SSL fingerprint and is independent of any authority. Self hosted stuff can use that because there's generally a safe bootstrap method to communicate that name.

And even with unsafe bootstrapping like non unique search, you are still not any worse off than you are with Facebook using the same method. Probably better, in fact, if you are using local-only nonunique search over Bluetooth instead of something anyone anywhere can fake.

Meaningful names can even give a false sense of security and lead to typosquatting. The advantage of not needing a blockchain or consensus seems bigger than the advantage of names.

> True. But you ignore the fact that NO SOFTWARE IS EVER DONE.

that is just false. I've seen plenty of one-use software - made specifically for trade shows, exhibitions, etc. which were never reused again because the entire software was the logic specific to that particuliar exhibition.

there is also a few thousand gigabytes of old game ROMs and abandonware on the internet which are all perfectly done software.
The bad actors already exploit them.
The rejection of things can be "madness" too.

We know that plenty of "natural" phobias are actually cultural, i.e. learned behavior. Toddlers and even infants pick up on social cues and develop fear and disgust responses by mimicking the behavior of adults and older children.

"Conditioning" is an unnecessarily spooky framing for what is quintessentially "culture".

My toddler's first reaction to ground pepper was to cry out in pain, exclaim "hot!" and never want to go near it again. Would you call it "conditioning" if my child later in life develops a taste for peppery dishes?
This is another good case for just tossing the whole unique name thing entirely and going with key hashes and freely chosen nonunique names.

As long as Wibble was unique I think you'd be okay, but personally I've just been going with option #2 and at the start of every script I modify sys.path to move sys.path[0] to the end. I agree with wrobell that it's hacky and far from the ideal, but it works and it should keep me from running into nasty surprises later.

Another idea I saw suggested someplace was to just keep every script or module you create in its own directory to limit the potential for conflicts.

Ask HN: How to Start with HN?
After a several month of regularly reading the top HN post, I decided to finally create an account and post my own awesome link to HN. However, it seems like the post new made it public. It is still listed under my submissions, but when I am not logged in, I cannot find the post. I now read several articles, explaining the karma system, guidelines and strategies someone can use to push your post, but it is still quite confusing (i.e. Karma is connected to the success of your posts. But what does "post" actually mean? Does this also include comments? What are the main thinks I need to know before I start posting to HN?).

Insects and crustaceans (shrimps, lobsters, etc.) are closely related; I always joke that shrimps are just under water bugs. Lots of people that are disgusted by one, enjoy eating the other. Disgust is mostly cultural and learned. Obviously, some of our gag reflexes are about detecting things that are bad. Like rotting meat or things that have gone off.

But then we ferment and rot lots of things intentionally and the products related to that are loved in some parts of the world and found disgusting in other parts of the world because they trigger the same reflexes as food that has gone off. E.g. a lot of Chinese people might not enjoy french cheeses and likewise the french might not appreciate some the fermented soybeans and eggs that are popular in China. And they eat snails, which with a lot of garlic and butter are actually not horrible but also not something everyone enjoys.

Anyway, if you eat fresh produce from your garden, there are likely to come some small critters along with that. Cleaning that is a percentage game. Likewise with organic produce you buy at the market. Small mites, spiders, etc. The occasional bigger bugs you might wash away. But a lot of smaller ones end up in your food. It's fine. We've evolved to be omnivores. Most of that meats with the acid in your stomach and gets broken down. Some of the parasites are a bit more nasty and actually can become an issue. Guess how those end up in your stomach. You eat/drink them.

Probably intensive farming of fish, ducks, chickens, or bugs does not result in the healthiest animals. Unhealthy animals get sick. Eating sick animals is risky. There are some signs that covid happened like that and there have been other examples of diseases spreading from animals to people via farmed animals traded in poultry markets or wherever.
> But, time-of-use rates are a currently underutilized idea

Is it not normal in the US to pay less for electricity at night and on weekends?

That's very common in the places (Netherlands and Switzerland) where I've lived, for as long as I can remember, and seems much more low-tech than using consumer batteries to supply back to the grid and paying them a custom rate.
Funniest thing is that in the past Westerners were laughing at China for choosing manufacturing while glorifying their so called service economy. Now they are simping over manufacturing jobs.

Fuller's chief skill was always self-promotion. It was good to get some important ideas into circulation, but they are not better for having his name attached. Geodesic domes, after all, turned out to be far less important than he insisted, and his "dymaxion" car was a hazard at best.

I am completely satisfied to give Snelson credit for what he has brought to our attention.
Yeah, I have noticed that with a lot of HN threads that resolve around eating meat. It gets to a level of tinfoil-hat that I'm absolutely not used to on this website, but maybe I've simply not been here long enough. The other day someone unironically said they feel there is "a war on protein" going on, because apparently it's more likely to have an "elite intellectual class" in the background, scheming to deprive us from nutrients, rather than the fact that raising and killing billions of animals each year could simply have adverse side-effects for our planet.

I have no explanation for this, and it makes me a bit sad to be honest. It really seems like a whole bunch of people here simply do not want their worldview challenged when it comes to eating animals, and will continue to do so no matter what.

With the recent uptick in doomsday-news regarding our climate and all the effects we can feel *right now*, it's also possible that I'm overly sensitive. But it's really depressing to see the community that I've been very impressed with regarding their discussions take such a weird, head-in-the-sand stance on this.
I'd be interested in the IPO alerts newsletter he mentioned at the beginning. I was recently thinking about building an IPO prediction website and newsletter, where users could vote on the probability that startups will have an IPO during a given year. (e.g. Q1 2023, Q2, Q3)

It could be interesting to integrate a prediction market like PredictIt [1] (although I heard they got into some trouble recently.) I also started to worry about getting in trouble with the SEC, in case people start to win bets by using insider information.

Anyway, does anyone have any predictions about the next IPO window? E.g. When do you think Stripe might have an IPO?

[1] https://www.predictit.org
It makes sense to estimate R&D, it also makes sense to have limits. (Eg. some startup wants to solve global fidgeting, they raise a lot of money, and they have 3-4 ideas, so they allocate half of their money and one year on their best idea, then half of the remaining and half of a year on the second best, and ...)

If there's some set date (eg. demo/launch at big industry expo) it makes sense keep that constraint in mind, plan work in small chunks, iterate, and always try to deliver tangible things needed for the demo ... and it also makes sense to periodically check in (let's say at the end/start of every iteration) how the demo is coming along ... and it again makes total sense to adjust course if it seems that progress is better/worse than expected ... and it makes sense to try to do this tracking and estimation in some consistent/rigorous way, instead of just gut feeling.

"And that's how story points were born". (Which is just a fancy name for reference class based forecasting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_class_forecasting )

And, again, if there's enough reliable data it's possible to give educated guesses about how the remaining tasks compare to the already finished ones.

...

Now, doing this top-down, from day 1, expecting 100% accuracy, and whatnot is complete business madness, and anyone who does that needs to be thrown out of a fucking (ground floor) window again and again until this gets through their (apparently) very thick skull.

...

I've seen this done well. (Not the defenestration.) And seen this done horribly. The "methodology" is not magic, and it definitely doesn't make sense if the people trying to "do" it are senseless imbeciles forcing things they don't even understand on people whom they also don't understand.
