Yep! Everyone hates the status quo all over JK/HP/PN/HR, but any other option will inveitabely bring a return of the bloody days in the 1990s and 2000s, when people were being shot on the streets daily, bombs were going off, and every family have one member who died in the larger bloodshed.

My family and the clan is from that region as well, and just about every family friend has a relative that has died. Jammu, Himachal, and Northern Punjab also have some of the highest per capita rates of per capita Armed Service volunteers in India, so every village or town or family will have a Shaheed/Martyr, which only exacerbates the bad blood. For example, when I go to my dad's village, immediately after crossing the Punjab border into our state you start seeing statues and banners in memory of Shaheeds who died in 1999, 1971, 1965, Uri, Pathankhot, etc. Add to that illegal rifles are very common in the region so there is always the potential for bloodshed to occur. There are generations of bad blood in the area and no one will budge an inch (and who can blame anyone on either side to be honest - when family members die it becomes personal).

Buddhists tend to Ladakhi (a Western Tibetan group). They are closely related to the Baltis (a Shia Western Tibetan group), but there is some bad blood between the two groups, but Ladakh has tended to remain relatively conflict free religion wise (Indian Armed Services and the PLA fight there instead, just like the Sikh Empire did against the Qing Dynasty there in the 1840s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogra%E2%80%93Tibetan_War)).

There is generations of bad blood, and a lot of people with small arms and light arms training. Shit gets real very fast.

PS - I am talking about the Indian side as I have first hand experience there. The Pakistani side is actually Jammu, so a different ethnic group from Koshur. Also a lot of army recruiting from that side into the Pakistani Army. The entire Punjab, Pakhtunkwa, and Jammu Kashmir region has always had a very active martial tradition - think of a Cotton Hill type mentality from King of the Hill.

I agree with all of that. The defensiveness that comes with writing for HN (and Twitter) makes me a worse writer too. It's not just about being careful and precise, but about being super defensive to avoid the most uncharitable possible reading.

Perhaps more unfortunately, I find that writing for academic conferences and journals makes me a worse writer too. It's different, but having to laser focus on 'selling' the paper throughout the paper makes it hard to communicate. Many of my favorite CS papers could never be published in a 'good' journal or conference today. Good research writing is really hard, but it seems like the publication process makes it harder, not easier.

I do not believe the government is any better at deploying money to meet a social good.And I believe it is people's own right to use their money to support what they believe in. So I will continue to work to pay as absolutely low tax as possible so I can support causes I believe in and allow others to do the same.
> That's why it's finally time to push for your iOS-based friends and family to abandon their blue bubble group chats and move to a third-party chat platform.

That's what most people do outside of the US. In Mexico for example everyone is on Whatsapp. Even iPhone users don't use Messages.

It's pretty amazing users in the US still rely on SMS to communicate between iOS and Android.
I think it's fine for an author to attempt to exclude some readers/virality.

In general I sense a lot of HN-hate, and I get it: HN comments can be pedantic, can be know-it-all, can be Silicon Valley centric, and supports threading which often leads to bickering or uninteresting low-value tangents.

I... ignore threads that don't interest me or that seem overly confident.

I don't understand why stereotyping and hating happens, but it isn't new.
This does make me curious about the pattern of upvoting. It seems likely that usually people upvote without clicking on the referral link first, but I wonder what the percentage is.

While you can enforce the contract later, does it save you from the algorithm and "I don't have that information"?
Then why did they say very recently that it was not taken or stolen? They aren’t under duress anymore. They could just have easily said that it was gifted under duress and asked for it back.
Passing up money in the short term for the perceived good of your community can't be fairly equated to "cutting off your nose to spite your face". But it would be more fair for the seller to try to get to know the buyer and go from there instead of just assuming by state.

It may be sensible in a given context on which I express no view but it is not pedantically correct. The context here is an expression of nationality while claiming pedantry. If one were to refer to Seamsus Heaney's nationality at birth, it sounds as though "Irish" would be wrong. Whatever one thinks about what should have been in that part of the world, or should be today or does not. In a different context he may be culturally more Irish than Irish for all I know as I'm not familiar with him or his work.

Why the downvotes, this is as equal as an argument as the others I brought up, which only shows how complex of a conundrum this is.
And while we are on the subject it should be noted that number params submitted with exponential notation, i.e. 2.47e3 will not always be converted to a number. The app I built uses Ruby on Rails. While Ruby is smart enough to convert the scientific notation, the params are sanitized, so that everything up to and including the e is dropped, so 2.47e3 which represents 2,470 will be saved as 2. Every back end will handle things differently.

On top of that the visual inconsistencies across browsers is a big issue. The native functionality of the number input will not be approved by most product managers and designers.

You don’t get in trouble just for turning around, I think its that turning around gets you pulled over and breathalyzed and you get in trouble for DUI. I realize this is kind of a classic “why worry if you have nothing to hide” argument, but everything is a balance and I’m ok with this intrusion to reduce DUI deaths. It is not equivalent to other privacy invasions.

> Sure, if your computer is up to running the boss fight that many times over.

The boss fights have to be very CPU and bandwidth-efficient because every other computer on the network will have to verify many of them. One exception could be that if the probability of winning is low enough with most seeds, you could just make it so that you don't need to broadcast your game (you only broadcast your "proof-of-victory" claim the reward, so if you get a losing seed you just have to broadcast a transaction that pays for your "entry ticket"). That way you could make it difficult to simulate many games while keeping the network performant.

Actually, maybe that's not right because you might be able to make a program that checks to see if you got a lucky seed, so it will just effectively add an annoying roulette-style gambling element of getting good RNG. I don't know.

Anyways, I think a somewhat-fun single-player game may work if it's something like this:

(1) You pay a fee to play a provably-fair deterministic dungeon-crawler type game like nethack.

(2) When you die, you get an NFT for every item you earn. There are massive network fees that prevent you from easily trading the NFT on an open market. So it's preferable to get them through the singleplayer game.

(3) The NFT is used in some hearthstone-like multiplayer card game that encourages you to collect a variety of cards. The "rarer" NFTs are not explicitly better than the common NFTs, they just allow for more exotic gameplay situations so they will simply be more desirable because they are more fun. This encourages you to play the single-player game many times to collect a wide variety of items.

(4) Optional: implement competitive (tournament pool) gambling on top of the card game.

Making a bot to do the singleplayer game would be difficult/undesirable here because:

- you would have to program it to understand the user's different tradeoffs between going to different parts of the dungeons and getting different types of loot, which is sort of subjective decision making.

- trading rewards between players is infeasible due to fees, and there's no trustworthy way to "buy an account" off of a botter.

- the reward is mostly cosmetic and has sentimental value: you can just fork the card game to play it without the NFTs, even to gamble.

- the singleplayer game is somewhat fun in itself, and has a skill cap to prevent bots from stomping actual players (Sort of like TF2's MvM)

I think a crypto game like this could work if it was open source, 100% of fees go to miners, and the development is funded-by-donation. But many crypto games are pretty scammy so they don't pan out.

Facebook and Google don't sell user data. They sell ad impressions, leveraging user data to decide which ads to show, but it's not like you can just buy a user's data from them. In fact, they've gotten much stingier with ways to get their users' data. You used to be able to get a ton of user and connection data for free just by using Facebook's API (with the user's permission) but it's much harder now and for some types of data, it's no longer available at all.

Admittedly i thought this as well. was hoping for a new plasma tech! Not that i think it's better, just nostalgia - it was the first 'new gen' tv I owned back in 2007. Heavy but well worth it at the time.
>I have never, ever seen anyone make that argument

Well, now you see one, I am making it.

Your analogy with tangible goods doesn't work. Shoplifting, or stealing, could be a felony and is heavily frown upon morally. The risk of getting caught up is much higher, and the consequence is more serious.

I won't be angry about "thieves getting them for free" despite I paid for the TV, because I knew they will end up in jails eventually, if not already.

Piracy, while theoretically illegal, is almost never punished. It realistically has no risk. So there are a lot more people doing that than shoplifting. And yes, I feel salty when I paid full price for X game while someone is getting it free.

>What would the motivation for not wanting them to get it for free be, then? Unless you don't want people to get your works in the first place.

I only want my paid customers to get it, whoever doesn't pay doesn't deserve to get it. Pretty simple. I don't find it's hard to understand. Go ask any artist live with Patreon money how they feel about it.
Windows is also pretty unpolished, I think it is impossible to get people to work on polishing unless you have infinity dollars, like Apple. At least Linux has the excuse that it is a community project -- things that the community decides not to work on are sort of definitionally not annoying enough to be worth working on, or they would.

There's nothing wrong with presenting existing knowledge in the most organized, clear, and accessible way. Historical context is useful, but I don't think we need to spend a lot of time explaining the initial confusions.

When you try to discover new mathematics, it's always messy. But if you want to learn about discovering new mathematics, you should just try to do a research project, instead of trying to learn already known stuff pretending you are discovering it for the first time.

Ask HN: Any recommendation on Neuroscience books for a curious soul
Hi folks,

Looking for recommendations on a beginner friendly book on Neuroscience (including Neuroanatomy). I don't have a medical/biology background (have an engineering background) and my goal is just to satisfy my curiosity and develop some understanding on the brain and nervous system. Would love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks!
What other sites redirect HN referers? I only know of jwz’s one. (Don’t try it at work!)
Did he disable it for this article? Because I got through without doing anything unusual.

But also: I don't really get why he'd want to do that. I read the article, and I get his complaints, but they don't really seem to have anything to do with other people reading his site. They sound like reasons for _him_ to not post to and engage on HN, not reasons to try to stop people coming from HN from reading his site. His site doesn't seem to have comments, so why does it matter who reads it? I really must be missing something.
Adobe Photoshop has always been bloated. It’s the professional standard so artists will literally buy a fast computer just to run it. There’s worse examples of professional software like Autodesk where a workstation class PC is only a fraction of the software licensing cost. And is more crash prone.
>It is all about motives.

I disagree completely. Motive is completely irrelevant. Mass surveillance and government spying (among other things) on people who have done nothing to suggest they are engaged in criminal activity is absolutely wrong and a violation of human rights and human dignity no matter what the motive.

>If you think that the government is doing something wrong, change that, don't make it impossible for anyone to enforce laws at all.

The issue is that people with morality and dignity believe that the government is doing something wrong by violating the privacy and human dignity of every citizen (by spying on their communications and tapping their phones), while those who don't see the value of privacy or human dignity don't believe the government is doing anything wrong. That is the crux of the issue. Trying to explain the importance of privacy and human dignity who people who don't believe that privacy and human dignity have any value is like trying to explain what blue looks like to someone who has been blind since birth.

>I mean, prison is authoritarian an oppressive. There are innocent people in them. Do we make it so that it is not possible to track crimes and put people in prison?

We have a Constitution that theoretically prevents the government from violating the rights of every person so that it may catch those few people who are committing crimes. Unfortunately the system of checks and balances that is supposed to be in place to stop the government from violating our privacy, rights and human dignity is entirely broken (if not non-existent) as abundantly chronicled for everyone who has paid attention.

That recent law regarding mushrooms was political theater, sponsored by two of the most left-leaning supervisors on the Board of Supervisors[1] worried about potential challengers, especially since the Boudin recall, whom they aggressively supported. Everybody else went along because how could you vote against it?

Just like marijuana, SF police haven't cared about psychedelics for decades. And while there may have been occasional pretext arrests for drugs in the past, encounters were always initiated for something else, and in any event these days police are hesitant to stop in-progress, felony property and violent crimes occurring in front of their faces. I mean, we have open-air heroin markets, and even after Boudin's recall you have to be a distributor, not simply a street dealer, to even get the attention of authorities, police or the DA.

To be fair to progressives and liberals generally, those two supervisors are particularly contemptible, pandering politicians, Dean Preston especially. Hillary Ronin seems more sincere, if misguided, but Preston has no redeeming qualities as a politician.

[1] Which itself is obviously all Democratic, with most if not all members self-identifying as progressive.
What’s a little strange, however, is how little archaeological evidence of torture in the past has been found so far. Archaeologists have found evidence of violence between humans dating back to the Paleolithic, but the Milanese wheel victim is one of very few clear cases of actual torture, despite how often torture is mentioned in historical records beginning in ancient times.
Clever. Not an enforceable ban on members but still enough of a nudge to say “you can come here from HN, but don’t be that guy”.
But that's kind of the problem, isn't it? It may be obscure, but its success does disprove a very non-obscure claim.

(Side note: my definition of "success" for socialism is fairly modest: to be sustainable long term economically, and to preserve personal freedoms at least to the same degree that modern capitalist liberal democracies have. That's the only way I see it as a meaningful alternative to the status quo.)

There's also Rojava to consider, and it's perhaps somewhat more widely known because it was covered somewhat during the Western press' fascination with ISIS and war with them. These guys are perhaps more interesting than the Zapatistas long term because they're doing it in a somewhat more urbanized & industrialized area with 10x population, and they are explicitly designing a governance framework with intent to scale to nation-state size and beyond. But, well, it hasn't even been 10 years yet, so I don't think it counts as solid evidence of anything just yet.

The SerenityOS project is managed with tremendous pragmatism and so I think they can get there.

If you watch his first Ladybird video after the project announcement, it is just him saying that he has spent the day getting Reddit to look right. He records the hour or so that it takes him to make CSS font emblems render properly. It is a priority because they appear on Reddit.

The video that brought SerenityOS the most fame was probably him porting Diablo ( well, DevilutionX ) to his OS. When he encounters a missing function from his C Standard Library, he simply adds it.

He is very driven by practical usability.

He wants an OS written from scratch with a full suite of software that he can use as his daily driver. So, he needs a web browser. He needs one that properly renders the kinds of sites he visits. Simple.

Compare this to projects like ReactOS that resist even adding support for a working browser.
Stripe will offer interchange plus model so you are actually paying the real interchange rate + whatever they tack on for settlement probably 25 basis points and some fixed rate of 0.05 a transaction. You shouldn’t be paying a blended rate if you’re doing significant volume.

If you’re using a gateway, there are some that Handle tokenization so you never have to touch the PANs and you don’t have to worry about PCI levels and audits. There’s no reason your systems should be touching PANs unless you’re really large and using multiple payment processors for scalability and redundancy like if you need to process a million transactions in a few hours.
