The sentence you extracted that quote from provides one answer to your question: it means they can take part of the backend code and actually execute it in the browser. Like edge functions, but even more so.

Here's the full context of the snippet you're questioning:

> One of the drawbacks of LiveView is that it requires a permanent connection to the backend, but because lunatic uses WebAssembly on the backend we can actually move part of the backend into the browser to allow for low-latency and offline use cases. Hopefully, you will be able to "just write" rust backend apps, but automatically get rich user experiences with offline support.
"Compliance is hard" is not an excuse accepted anywhere.

But just in case you actually believe this should be convincing, consider how many tax jurisdictions Facebook does business in. Do you think they just ignore all those local rules?
Possibly true if you look at property crimes and misdemeanours. But you can't "hide a body" or fail to report an arson. Major crimes are down too: https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/stay-safe/crime-data/crim...

The narrative that reported crime is down because of underreporting is very credulous of LEOs, because it's in the interest of police departments embroiled in controversy to make things look bad to justify their own budgets/jobs. Hence all the news stories about how SF is a crime-ridden hellhole. However, the police department's own numbers contradict this and they are forced to lean on "vibes".
No, they're enabled by default. Brave makes a big deal about all of its features being opt-in, but the crypto shit is a big, glaring exception.
I used to refuse Chromium for the Same reason.

But honestly it already happened, Firefox is already irrelevant.

Mozilla is mis-managed organization that is funded to avoid anti-trust investigations, they dont fully push for privacy because they are afraid of google, do out of touch changes, and focus on political advocacy.

Compare that to brave, which builds its own independent search engine, ad network, and has privacy by default in its products.

There is no hope that Mozilla and Firefox will change the status-quo anytime soon, Firefox is losing users at crazy rate, and Mozilla is absolutely failing to do anything to change Firefox's destiny towards irrelevance.

Brave is almost everything Mozilla should've been.

Actually do what they sey, no hidden google analytics in their products, no unique ID for each installer downloaded, push for privacy by default and independence from big tech, not being shy from google, because they are their only income.

I would argue, that if Mozilla wants to turn its course around with their "limited resources" it should drop gecko, and anything irrelevant to the users experience.

Fork Chromium, the best web engine out there by a mile, and remove any anti-privacy / anticompetitive code, while still taking advantage of the huge development resources directed to chromium from many parties, and maybe Mozilla can also influence Chromium's development.

Start pushing privacy by default, its the reason brave is gaining users at such a rapid pace, its a browser I recommend to everyone, as just by installing it they already are much more private than with chrome.

What matters is the users experience, its why brave is growing.

Ok, imagine for me the society for which you can file a police report for a stolen backpack, and you relatively efficiently have your backpack returned, and the perpetrator brought to justice. What does that society look like? How does that happen?
> With a fine per violation of $10,000 who cares?

The AG identified 782 violations and requested treble damages [1]. That's $23mm right there, not including the state's legal costs (which are also trebled).

I went down a similar journey over the last couple years (CO2, VOC, PM1.0/2.5/10 sensors). In my apartment I sit around zero for particulate with windows closed. I jump up significantly with windows open unfortunately (for my allergies) in the midwest.

I do wish my AC/Heat had more air exchange, similar to your space my CO2 levels rise dramatically after an hour or two of occupation with windows closed.
No, I'm not saying that. Please don't put words in my mouth. I haven't said a single thing here about "a man-made descendent", or whether those bats are "likely" to be present or not. I haven't even said that I agree with Ebright or believe in any kind of lab-leak scenario. All I've said is that your accusation of "spin" - because Ebright simply stated what all existing evidence points to, that the closest candidate bats are 1000 miles away, is the case without qualification - is based on a misunderstanding of how science works. Until there is evidence to the contrary - and there currently is not - it is entirely normal, conventional, and scientific - and not spin! - to state the facts as demonstrated by all the available evidence as facts. In particular, when you say, "we just know what we measured, not what we didn't" - yes, that is science, not intellectual dishonesty.

That said, I'll bite: if there are bats with SARS-like coronaviruses closer to Wuhan, I suspect that the folks in Wuhan who've spent the past 15-20 years studying SARS-like bat coronaviruses, "sampling thousands of horseshoe bats in locations across China" [0], probably would have discovered the ones right on their doorstep, more probably than ones further afield. So sure, yes, I'd wager they're not all that likely (though not impossible)! But, again, that's neither here nor there to my overall point, which is that your accusation of spin on Ebright's part is unfounded and scientifically illiterate.

Yes, the colder the air is, the less efficient a heat pump is. My 10 year old heat pump has a COP of 3 but shuts off at -15C because below that it's less efficient than an electric baseboard heater. Newer air-to-air heat pumps have a COP of 4 or higher so they can handle down to -20C or -25C.

I keep my EBBs set to come on a few degrees below where I keep the house so they will kick in when the heat pump shuts off and they kick out when the heat pump comes back on. This tends to happen at night when I don't mind the house getting a bit cooler anyway. Where I live in Canada, the heat pump typically only shuts off half a dozen nights in the second half of January. It's not like my heat pump is useless 6 or 8 months of the year.

There are also geothermal heat pumps that push/pull heat to/from water from underground (eg. a well, a pond, or a buried coil of pipe) where, even in the winter, the ground remains warm. These don't suffer a loss in efficiency in the winter.

Regarding EVs, most EVs get between 3 and 4 miles/kWh. The Porsche Taycan gets only 2 miles/kWh. The Tesla Model 3 gets 5 miles/kWh. The Aptera gets 10 miles/kWh, which with the 100 kWh battery, gives you 1,000 miles of range.

As would we all, but we have to be cognizant that enforcing a high quality of life also means ignoring people who can't afford the raised minimum.

By and large, I'm a fan of American-style freedom-to-succeed-or-fail, but in the context of NIMBY anti-density housing supply crunches, it feels exceptionally cruel.

'We're going to have policies that limit supply and increase the cost of housing' + 'We're going to prevent you from finding other housing by making it illegal' is a heavy one-two punch.

This seems like a lot of work to identify the vulnerable functions that are called transitively. Could this work be reused to perform tree-shaking, so that Go only compiles the code you actually need? (Or, does Go already do this at compilation?)
People (in the US) freeze to death every winter (cut off utilities, or power outages and only resistive baseboard heaters). No regulations needed.

Reliable electricity is hard, and we’ll need it more and more as we travel down our increasingly electric future.

I'm curious to know how it's done at your workplace. Please share.
Most prompts cost about $2. If you don't know the right design terminology to get an effect, it can easily cost more than $2 in Dall-e credits to figure it out by trial and error. If you also consider the time it takes, then I think it's not unreasonable to buy the prompt.

However, I think what's missing is a success/accuracy metric. A prompt that gets the right thing every time is more valuable than a prompt that gets the right thing every 5th time. I don't think they control for that, unless the approval process checks for it. I suppose customer rating would be sufficient.

We have built databases for both and can compare between them.
Precisely this - not everything scales gracefully to "big data" levels - some things require lots of customization and edgecases - sometimes for dumb reasons sometimes not. Given the effect Facebook has had on radicalization I am not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I agree any of those blogging sites would be a better format, even though I'm not a Medium fan. He's also listed Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers and I understand this isn't their official position but there could be a faculty page or some other publication or editorial site.

And he could link to the blog article from his tweet. The downside is it wouldn't have as great viral potential but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Any page with all the bullet points in one place would serve better than an ephemeral twitter thread. If his followers regard him they may follow the link.
Yes, you are correct. I mistyped.

I think it was one of the US founding fathers that said, "The primary responsibility of a democracy is the education of its citizenry".

It sounds like Bay area residents are working against their own interests (home values) by reducing housing supply, thereby making their city so unlivable that home values will collapse anyway. Getting people to see the problem and vote accordingly may be difficult, but it doesn't seem completely impossible.
If it's in the downtown and immediate areas it's probably human, further out into the burbs it's mostly dog.
That is a limitation of text based tools.

There have been code source control tools based on the AST see Envy for Smalltalk.

Hopefully eventually we will dump the limitations of text based tools and use one based on the structure of programs. I don't want to know line 123 has changed I want to know that function fn in module m has changed or that function X was added on this date.

There is some consolidation among power tools

https://toolguyd.com/tool-brands-corporate-affiliations/

They still screw you on batteries and indeed would do so harder if there were fewer companies. Instead of incompatible batteries per brand it would be per year.

Sorry sir that's a 2022 tool it can't use 2021 batteries.

You can either ask congress to establish a standard, start a power tool company that supports more brands with adapters, or basically suck it up because selling batteries way over cost is extremely profitable and nobody wants actual competition in that space.

The one thing you don't want is consolidation. Likewise you think you want consolidation among browser engines but you really don't because it gives the vendor future leverage to fuck you.

> In short there is no Fermi paradox: there might or might not be life out there, but they don't even know we are here, and it they couldn't reach us if they did.

All that assumes two things for which there is no strong argument. First, that an extraterrestial intelligence would only be interested in traveling to another planet because it detected signs of intelligent life there. But why would that be? Why wouldn't a "life friendly" planet be almost as interesting? Suitability for life, and likely even the signal of the presence of life, is something you can get from spectral observation.

And second, intelligent life may or may not care a great deal about the time of travel. No reason intelligent "iife" elsewhere should not be self-constructed to be indefinitely patient and repairable.
Assuming you are using recent interest rates. If you mix in recent inflation rates too it doesn't work out in inflation-adjusted dollars like that, though hopefully a lot of that is transitory from covid (or maybe we have something worse than covid in the future).
I would much rather see a comparison to how many people (or fractions of an average person) this current device could sustain.

Even better, Carbon Monoxide can be used as a rocket fuel. Therefore MOXIE can completely generate propellant.

CO as rocket fuel isn't as effective as Hydrogen or Methane, but for the lower gravity of Mars it can still be useful for Mars-Mars transport or even returning to orbit.
Somewhat regrettably given the connotations also associated, cryptocurrency. In countries where there are legal, regulated exchanges, this pretty much meets the requirements there.

> but paying for a drug habit when drugs are expensive and you have a hard time holding down a 9-5 job (usually due to mental illness)

I would imagine mental illness would be a bigger barrier to handling a 9-5 job than drug use.

IIUC, the majority of people that drink alcohol and smoke weed daily work 9-5 just fine.

Is the same true for the majority of people that have mental illness? What are we even considering mental illness?

I don't think the visibly homeless crazy people have mild mental illness. I think their mental illness is a bigger problem then drug addiction if they even have that problem.
To actually impact Facebook and spur positive change they'll need to impose a much higher penalty - perhaps this is out of the domain of what courts can reasonably enforce and we need the legislature to take action.
Facebook on one side "we can target your ads so specially that you can narrow down to a given city block" and to regulators "we can't narrow down closer than "United States" when complying with laws, sorry".
Most people do, but I still see plenty around where I live in the Sunset. Enforcement is basically nonexistent like the leash law.
Show HN: I built a contact info sharing app that uses end-to-end encryption
Staying connected with friends can be a challenge as people move or change jobs. I don't have my college roommate's home address, my aunt's phone number, or an email to send a note to any of my former co-workers. So, I built a digital contact card sharing app, called Neucards, that keeps contact info up to date. It remembers where and when I exchanged digital cards with someone and gives me a running history of when changes were made. I can see what card I gave someone and even give them a different card later. Most importantly, it maintains privacy by using end-to-end encryption, so only the people I give my card to have access to my card or account info. It's available on iOS in the US AppStore and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
> ... all social media does is allow us to overcome Dunbar’s number, which dismantled a barrier erected at the beginning of civilization.

What a great line.

Imho, social media's contribution to society is making it possible for anyone to extend the number of people they reach. Like it or not, this is/was the promise of the internet - make it easier to connect with people across the world. All social media companies (Twitter, FB, IG, TikTok) simply build a common platform and define the parameters of the media. The usage of it is manifestation of who we are as a species.
Chrome-based browsers have poor support for side tabs. There are some extensions that mimic it with an extra window, but it's not great.

The Cluster Tab Manager extension has been good enough for me. I have to open it explicitly as a tab, but then I can easily see and manage all of my open tabs.

Companies needs people. It is the most important resource. Cities not hospitable for humans, are bad for business. Local authorities in Vienna,Austria, still has control over 25% of the real estate. This ensures that the city will be affordable for many years to come.
It's pretty obviously silly to have an unavoidable text parser in between code and data. We've reached the point where it's fairly low overhead, but it's still not nothing.
Shoplifting and other crimes simply being decriminalized.

Shoplifting was never (formally) decriminalized. SFPD stopped bringing anything to the DA because he was investigating and prosecuting police misconduct. Now that the mayor's installed a new DA and the new DA's disbanded the group that investigates police misconduct the police have started bringing more cases forward. Unsurprisingly the new DA is not prosecuting cases at a higher rate.

Counterpoint: Oregon has done exactly that via Measure 101. It's been a complete mess. Every societal ill that comes along with drug use has gotten substantially worse. In theory, ending prohibition and diverting resources is a good idea, but it sure hasn't worked out that way in practice and I wouldn't encourage anyone in the U.S. to vote for it or trust that it will be well implemented here.
$23mm to Meta is the same as a few dollars is to me. Just a small operating expense.
The reason brave is a bit less hardcore ungoogled-chromium is usability.

Brave can be used by anyone, with the experience they expect from a modern browser.

No need for some weird workarounds to install extensions, no support for widevine, etc.
I feel the goal of the comparison is to give people a quick heuristic, rather than a detailed breakdown. The article does say the device produces 6 grams of oxygen per hour.

Cities need social services to work, because of the density of people. It is a problem when my neighbour is crazy and screams for 18h a day when we live on top of each other in a city. It isn't when we live in the middle of no where and are separated by 50miles.

Only America is specifically designed to prevent any sort of social services, because people have the freedom to come into town to use those services and then leave before it's time to pay the tax for them.

This is why American cities have so many issues compared to European ones. From public transport to healthcare to education to crime, American is designed to be 100% individualistic and that is incompatible with how cities work. Cities are forced to subsidise surrounding areas.
